I just wanted to cultivate immortality, but I was forced to open a harem

Sakurajima Mai stole a glance at his phone screen and said mockingly, "Just as I thought, you really don't have many friends."

Lin Hezhen clicked on the link she sent and replied while browsing the post: "What's the point of being friends if we are not from the same world?"

Sakurajima Mai remained silent.

She suddenly realized that this young man who possessed magical powers and claimed to be a cultivator was indeed not from the same world as her.

If I hadn't prayed to the Unsmiling Cat and been involved in supernatural events, I'm afraid I would never have crossed paths with him in my life. The two of us would be like two parallel lines that would never meet, extending straight forward until we reached the end of our respective lives.

This discovery was like a powerful invisible giant hand, grasping her heart, and a sudden feeling of suffocation came over her.

Could it be that once the mysterious incident is solved, will my fate with Lin Hezhen end here?

Her mind was in a mess, and she stood there in a daze for a moment. She could not see or hear anything, and her hands and feet were cold, as if she was sinking into the deepest, darkest bottom of the sea.

"Hey, are you listening?"

Lin Hezhen called out to her several times but she didn't respond, so he could only wave his hand in front of her.

"Ah, what?" Sakurajima Mai woke up as if from a dream.

"I say, it's not enough for me to just work hard. Before the talisman loses its effect, you need to find ways to increase your presence as much as possible. Returning to the entertainment industry is a good way. As long as you continue to be active on the screen, it will be difficult for people to forget you."

"Oh." Sakurajima Mai answered sullenly, as if she was listening, but also as if she was not listening.

Seeing that she was distracted, Lin Hezhen continued, "Even if you don't want to work with your mother, how about changing your agent? You are famous and have a lot of achievements, so there must be many agents willing to accept you. Plus, you also like acting, so you can continue to do what you like."

"Why are you helping me so much?" Sakurajima Mai suddenly looked up and asked.

Her big, bright eyes were lifeless, like a person who had fallen into the water and was watching her last straw slip away.

"Hmm?" Lin Hezhen was stunned. Does this have anything to do with what he just said? His thinking jumped so much.

Sakurajima Mai asked, "I, an ordinary person, was involved in a strange incident and stepped into a world that I shouldn't have stepped into. I have caused you trouble, right? After dealing with the Smileless Cat, will you erase my memory and let me return to that ordinary world as if nothing happened?"

Lin Hezhen was speechless, in fact he did intend to do so.

He and Sakurajima Mai are not from the same world, and they should not have any intersection. Besides, the fact that this girl knew his secret was a bit of a hindrance to him.

He just wanted to live in seclusion in this city and practice meditation. He didn't want to establish social relationships with too many people. After all, there is a difference between immortals and mortals. The lifespan of immortal cultivators is much longer than that of ordinary people. Even if they can establish a close relationship for a while, as time goes by, one day they will face separation and death.

What's more, Lin Hezhen is not from this world.

The reason why he wanted to help Sakurajima Mai was just to get in touch with the supernatural organization behind the incident.

Lin Hezhen traveled through time and space by opening up the turbulence of time and space. The extraordinary organization in this world must be able to observe it. Maybe they can locate his original world, so he can travel back after recovering his cultivation.

Since you have to leave eventually, instead of enduring the pain of separation in the end, it is better to draw a clear line from the beginning and never have any contact with each other again.

He didn't say these words, but the girl already understood what he meant.

So she lowered her head, ran past him, all the way to the door, opened it and rushed out.

Chapter 27: The Unsmiling Cat

Around four or five o'clock in the morning, the huge city of Dongdu was completely silent. A ray of light appeared on the eastern horizon, carefully soaking the blue sky.

Lin Hezhen, wearing his school uniform, rode a bicycle, traveling through the deserted streets.

His destination was a small hill on the western outskirts of the city, on the top of which stood an ancient and huge fir tree.

Under the dim sky, the hills and trees are hidden in the mist, like a faint ink painting.

The cat statue, which claims that "as long as you offer tribute, you can pray to discard the useless things on your body", is located under the cedar tree.

After Sakurajima Mai left last night, he collected some rumors about the Unsmiling Cat and found that some people had recently said on the Internet that their wishes had been fulfilled, but the way they were fulfilled was completely different from what they had imagined before they prayed, as if they had been maliciously distorted by someone.

Fortunately, not many people were involved, the time was not long, and none of their conditions were as serious as Sakurajima Mai's. As long as that false god was dealt with, they would all be able to return to normal.

There were basically no vehicles or pedestrians on the street at this moment. In order to speed up, Lin Hezhen used a "magic spell" on his bicycle. The bicycle shuttled through the alleys like a ghost, leaving a trail of afterimages.

Soon, they arrived at their destination. He parked the car at the foot of the mountain and walked towards the top.

This place must have been unattended for a long time, with weeds growing everywhere, the ground dry and barren, and the road leading to the top of the mountain is just an undeveloped animal trail. Even the barbed wire fence at the foot of the mountain to prevent outsiders from entering has several holes in it.

He entered through the hole easily and climbed the stairs with light steps.

It took about ten minutes to reach the top of the hill. The hill was not very high and was covered with weeds. A huge fir tree stood tall, its branches stretching in all directions as if supporting the entire sky.

And at the root of the cedar tree, the Unsmiling Cat was waiting there.

In the dim light of the early morning, you can see clearly that it is a wooden sculpture of a cat with a somewhat strange shape.

Its height is almost as high as a human thigh, with its two hind legs supporting its entire body. Its two front paws are raised high, its belly and head are round, and it has two big pointed ears on its head, which makes it look even a little cute.

The cat's face is carved with eyes, whiskers, mouth and nose, like a child's sketch, with simple and clear lines.

I saw it squinting its eyes, closing its mouth, and making an expression that looked like it was not clear whether it was sleeping or angry.

No wonder it is called the Silent Cat. It is indeed very serious. I guess people who see it cannot smile either.

However, Lin Hezhen came all the way here not just to climb the mountain or stroll around.

He unceremoniously tapped the cat's belly with the tip of his shoe and said, "So you were a little demon that was worshipped and turned into a wild god. Since you don't have much blood debt, return the things you took from people and promise not to do it again, and I can let you go."

The wooden cat didn't answer, but its expression seemed a little angry.

Whether it is a human or a cat, they will be angry if someone kicks them in the stomach with the tip of a shoe and asks them to hand over their hard-earned money.

The Unsmiling Cat certainly had reason to be angry. In its view, those people prayed to it voluntarily and offered tributes and the power of faith. All of these were earned bit by bit by its own ability. Why should it be blackmailed by a human boy?

It really couldn't figure out what confidence this ordinary human boy had to threaten it. Even if it was just an unknown wild god, it was a wild god transformed from a great demon after years of practice.

Immediately, a circle of water-wave-like ripples quickly spread in the air, spreading outward with the Unsmiling Cat as the center, and even including Lin Hezhen who was nearby.

Suddenly, the environment around Lin Hezhen changed. He was no longer standing under the cedar tree on the top of the hill, but in a huge primeval forest.

The forest was filled with lush trees, blocking out the sun, and the temperature was relatively low. There seemed to be murderous intent hidden under the shadow of the vegetation, as if some extremely terrifying existence was lurking there, waiting for the right moment to attack him.

Lin Hezhen sneered disdainfully: "Illusion? It's a bit of a skill, but that's all."

He circulated the spiritual energy throughout his body and communicated with the Nascent Soul in his consciousness. The Nascent Soul, which had been dark and silent, suddenly shone brightly. The pressure from a powerful man came down like a mountain, condensing into a strong wind that swept across the entire forest.

The illusion was shattered by the strong wind, and finally a huge figure like a dragon was revealed, which turned out to be a giant cat demon.

The cat demon was about ten meters tall, golden in color, with two vertical eyes like two searchlights, and its fur standing up, making its body look even taller. It had sharp teeth and claws, and two tails behind it.

"It's rare for a cat demon to be able to reach this point on its own." Lin Hezhen was a little surprised. In the modern society where cultivation is not easy, such a large cat demon is indeed rare.

What's more, this cat demon doesn't have much evil spirit or sins, which means it is pursuing the path of pure cultivation rather than blood-eating.

Moreover, it has now stepped half a foot into the threshold of the path of incense and deity. If it had not met Lin Hezhen, it would have had a chance to achieve enlightenment and become a minor god in the future.

"Considering that it is not easy for you to practice, you'd better surrender quickly. You are no match for me." Lin Hezhen said proudly with his hands behind his back.

Even though his current physical body was only at the Body Tempering Stage, he could now communicate with his Nascent Soul and could exert 1% of his full strength. This cat demon had never practiced any proper martial arts and fought entirely by relying on his innate talent, so defeating it was a piece of cake.

The cat demon roared and raised its sharp claws to attack Lin Hezhen. Its huge body could move flexibly at high speed, and it was impossible to see its figure with the naked eye.

Lin Hezhen had already prepared for this. He took out a handful of talismans and cast numerous buffs on himself, including the Wind Spell, the Cloud Spell, the Six Jia Body Protection Spell, the Heart Cleansing Spell, the Counterattack Spell, the Ambition Spell, and the Four Spirit Body Protection Spell...

He has recently made a lot of talismans, which contain many one-time spells. When encountering a battle, he would apply buffs first to save time in casting spells. This is a common tactic used by mages in fights.

Then, the wizard rolled up his sleeves, pushed the ground with both feet, soared into the sky like a cannonball, and raised his fists towards the cat demon.

That’s right, the fighting style of the Yuanying boss is so simple and crude!

The spiritual energy in his body was running wildly, and his bones were shaking and making a low roar, just like the thundering sound of a tiger or leopard.

His muscles were tense, pushing his uniform up high, and his fists emitted a dim light that sparkled in the morning sun.

In the blink of an eye, the fist and the claw collided, making a crisp sound of metal clashing. The surrounding air exploded in an instant, causing the nearby soil to fly and the grass to fall to the ground.

The man and the monster flew backwards at the same time.

The cat demon turned over flexibly in the air to relieve the force and soon landed steadily. Lin Hezhen, with the help of the cloud-flying technique, flew directly into the air and looked down from above.

Chapter 28 Cat Demon

The cat demon became extremely ferocious and howled as it leaped into the air and pounced on Lin Hezhen. Its two claws were filled with demonic energy, revealing eight sharp claws over one meter long. With one claw, it was likely to cut the person in half.

"Thousand-pound drop!"

Lin Hezhen used a spell with ten times the gravity. He twisted his body, and his right leg fell down with a tremendous force like a whip, hitting the cat demon's head hard.

"Boom-"

A huge buzzing sound echoed among the hills and buildings, as if a monk living in seclusion in the mountains was ringing a heavy bronze bell.

The cat demon was hit so hard that he saw stars and fell heavily to the ground.

The cat demon's skull was almost cracked by the kick, but it was a demon that had practiced for many years, and its demonic power was boiling all over its body. It quickly healed its wounds and stood up again.

After experiencing Lin Hezhen's strength, it no longer looked down on him and stared at its opponent carefully.

Its huge body weighs several tons, but it moves extremely lightly and agilely. The pads under its claws are very thick, providing excellent cushioning and protection, and it makes no sound when walking.

"Ow!"

The cat demon turned into a shadow and pounced on Lin Hezhen. Its soft front paws made a "clang" sound and revealed their sharp claws, as cold as a sword drawn from its sheath.

At the critical moment, Lin Hezhen moved his feet, almost avoiding the pounce. He turned around and raised his knees, using his hardest knees to attack the cat demon's soft abdomen.

The cat demon failed to attack and instead exposed its own weakness. It was too late to dodge or defend, so it simply used all its ferocity to twist its two tails into a giant rope and swept it fiercely, causing both it and Lin Hezhen to suffer losses.

Bang!

The cat demon's tail lashed Lin Hezhen like a heavy steel whip, and the powerful impact made him fly backwards.

Fortunately, he curled up his body and raised his arms to block in advance, and he had many buffs on his body, so apart from leaving a deep hole on the ground, he didn't suffer any injuries.

The opponent was in even worse condition. After being hit by a fierce knee strike from Lin Hezhen, the cat demon felt that several of his ribs were broken. He fell to the ground with a plop, and some blood oozed out of his mouth.

Under the huge cedar tree, specks of silver light gathered on the cat demon, instantly repairing its injuries. The cat demon stood up again and grinned at Lin Hezhen who was standing in the air.

"The power of faith, it really is useful. However, how much power of faith can you, a mere false god, gather?"

The cat demon's golden vertical pupils were filled with fear and resentment, but as an intelligent monster, it certainly understood that the current situation was not in its favor.

The opponent was agile, had sharp attacks, and was very resistant to blows. His huge body made it difficult for him to deal with him, so he could only passively take the beatings.

Then, the cat demon roared, and its huge body shrank rapidly, becoming the size of an adult Siberian tiger, more than two meters long, with a nimble and majestic figure.

Its body became smaller, but its strength increased instead of decreased, and the demonic aura on its body was so strong that it seemed to be dripping with water.

The cat demon stared at Lin Hezhen coldly, then suddenly opened its mouth and let out a howl.

The sharp noise was deafening, and the sound waves enhanced by demonic power attacked in a fan shape directly in front of them. The surrounding soil flew, the grass was uprooted, and the bushes and small trees fell directly to the ground.

The body in the initial stage of body building cannot be as strong as a solid wall. There are always some fragile parts of the body that remain weaknesses, which are the so-called "weak points", and the eardrum is one of them.

Even though Lin Hezhen used his spiritual power to protect his ears when the opponent launched a sonic attack, the human body's bones can conduct sound, and the sound waves still entered his eardrum and nerve center.

Lin Hezhen suddenly felt his whole body numb, his ears were buzzing, his head was a little dizzy, and he almost couldn't control his nose bleeding.

"boom."

As it roared, the cat demon kicked its four legs and rushed towards him like a tiger descending from a mountain. Its claws, as sharp and hard as Wolverine's, attacked him with a whistling sound that pierced the air.

After its body became smaller, the cat demon became faster and Lin Hezhen's eyes were completely unable to keep up with its movement.

Thanks to his rich fighting experience in the world of cultivation, Lin Hezhen was able to remain sober even in such an unfavorable situation.

He quickly used his spiritual power to cover his entire body and block his five senses, so as to avoid being affected by the cat demon's sound wave attack. At the same time, while practicing the skills to heal his injuries, he immediately communicated with his Nascent Soul, allowing his spiritual consciousness to extend from his Nascent Soul.

The powerful spiritual consciousness spread out like an invisible net, covering the entire hill in an instant. Everything within the range, including the rocks, plants, and even the cat demon, was exposed.

At the same time, Yuanying also accelerated his thinking speed and nerve reaction speed. Before the cat demon was about to pounce on him, he jumped into the air, raised his right hand high, and shouted: "Thunder!"

The originally clear and cloudless sky was instantly filled with thick dark clouds. The silent thunderclouds spit out a dazzling and tragic silver light, which fell directly on the cat demon, causing it to howl and fall to the ground.

At the same time, explosive thunder shook between heaven and earth, and the rumbling sound echoed for a long time in the East City with tall buildings.

At the cost of several power outages in the area where he lived, Lin Hezhen finally mastered the "Shenxiao Yulei Zhenfa" and was officially crowned the "Thunder King" of the island country.

Without having to rely on the current drawn into the power grid, he simply waved his hand to gather the thunderclouds, and a magnificent and domineering thunderbolt fell.

The cat demon was hit by thunder and suffered serious injuries. A large area of ​​the golden fur on its back had been burnt black, emitting the stench of burnt flesh.

It glared at Lin Hezhen in shock and anger, and used the power of faith to recover from its injuries again.

The power of faith is hard to come by, and it has not collected much over the years, but at this moment of life and death, it cannot care about much.

The might of the divine thunder made it realize the power of magic. The cat demon didn't dare to fight anymore. It swung its two tails, and the power of faith covered its whole body, blocking Lin Hezhen's spiritual scan. At the same time, its body gradually disappeared, and it became invisible.
