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

So, Shinomiya Kaguya laughed out of anger: "Haha, Ms. Yukinoshita, we are really destined to be together. It just so happens that I also really dislike you."

Both of them showed sly expressions, just like a dragon and a tiger, incompatible with each other.

"Well, it's just joining a club, is there any need to make such a big deal about it?"

Lin Hezhen walked over and slapped each of them on the head.

"It hurts (>_<>

"what are you doing?"

The two men held their heads and said dissatisfiedly.

Lin Hezhen asked in confusion: "You have met each other at the banquet before, why didn't you get along so well with each other like now?"

Shinomiya Kaguya pouted: "Humph, I didn't know she was so poisonous at that time."

"If I had known that Miss Shinomiya was the kind of wicked young lady who likes to bully others by taking advantage of her power, I would not have attended the party she hosted." Yukinoshita Yukino turned her head away angrily.

"The point is, Shinomiya-san actually used his power to force Kamigo-san to quit the club in order to create a situation where the 'Service Club' was short of people, so as to facilitate his own entry into the club. This is simply too much!"

Upon hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya immediately retorted: "Hey, stop spitting blood at me. I really didn't threaten Uesugi Yoshihiko. He was the one who didn't want to stay in the 'Service Club' and eat dog food anymore, so he took the initiative to ask to quit the club."

"Who knows whether what you said is true or false?"

"Do I need to lie about such a small matter?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Lin Hezhen quickly interrupted their singing.

"Alright, alright, let's put it this way. Kaguya, you go find Uego and persuade him to stay in the 'Service Club'. And Yukino shouldn't be too stubborn. An increase in the number of club members is a good thing."

Yukinoshita Yukino put her hands on her waist and said, "Humph, I think you really enjoy this kind of life surrounded by girls, and you don't want to let them leave."

Lin Hezhen was amused by her: "Don't talk nonsense, if I really had that idea, why would I ask Shangxiang to come? Wouldn't it be better to have five beautiful girls all to myself? That would be five equal parts happiness!"

Sakurajima Mai complained: "I'm afraid you have been divided into five equal parts before you can enjoy the happiness of being divided into five equal parts."

"Mai, why do you say that too?"

"It's all because my senior brother is so good at flirting with other girls."

"Where am I? I was obviously involved in a strange incident, and I am also a victim."

Kato Megumi said suddenly: "Kazuma is now the strongest person in the entire island nation. You also defeated the giant who caused the 'ghost disaster' before. It would be too far-fetched if he was involved in strange incidents again in the future."

Lin Hezhen's mouth twitched.

"How come even Kato... Well, you're right. Now those three magic weapons are in my hands. As long as I refine them, even if the real 'Susanoo' comes, I can beat him to his knees and call him 'Daddy'."

"There shouldn't be any blind person or organization that would mess with me now."

Chapter 226 Don't be afraid, I'm here

After school, Lin Hezhen did not go back with Mai and the others.

He still had one task to complete today, which was to teach Kato Megumi to start practicing.

The two discussed it and finally decided to teach in the small park near Kato Megumi's home.

The sun gradually sets, leaving only a streak of orange-red afterglow on the horizon.

The quiet park was empty, with only the rustling sound of the breeze through the leaves.

Occasionally, the sound of birds could be heard, but they were drowned out by the sound of footsteps.

Lin Hezhen followed Kato Megumi to an open area in the park, feeling the sultry summer breeze blowing from afar, and couldn't help but sigh, "I'm revisiting an old place."

A few months ago, it was in this small park that Kato Megumi, who had exchanged presence with Sakurajima Mai and became extremely eye-catching, was harassed by three thugs including Kotaro.

"Yes, fortunately Kazuma appeared in time to stop them, otherwise I would have been in danger." Kato Megumi still felt a little scared when she recalled the situation at that time.

As a good girl and a little unknown person, she had never experienced that kind of situation.

Lin Hezhen smiled and said, "However, from now on you don't have to worry about these things. As long as you enter the initial stage of body building, ten little thugs combined will not be enough for you to beat."

Kato Hui lowered her head slightly and said: "I don't expect to become very powerful, as long as I can protect myself and the important people around me, that's enough."

Of course, it would be even better if she could catch up with Lin Hezhen and walk hand in hand with him... she thought silently.

The two of them sat down on a bench with a swing next to it.

This park is quite old, and the iron chains of the swings have been rusted by time. When swayed by the wind, they make slight creaking sounds.

Lin Hezhen cleared his throat and said, "I have tested you before in the 'Service Department'. Hui, you actually have the rare 'Dark Spiritual Root'. No wonder your sense of existence is weak. It should be the influence of the spiritual root."

"Dark Spiritual Root?" This is the first time Kato Megumi heard this word.

Lin Hezhen explained: "Spiritual root is a person's talent in cultivation. Only those with spiritual roots can practice. The quality and attributes of spiritual root qualifications determine your cultivation speed and practice preference. Among them, the five elements spiritual root It is the most common, your dark spiritual root is a mutated spiritual root, and its cultivation speed is no less than that of the heavenly spiritual root, which has only one spiritual root attribute."

"So you can practice anyway?"

"Of course, but dark spiritual roots are relatively rare, and there are fewer suitable exercises. Fortunately, I have memorized all the exercises in the sect's library, and collected a lot of them outside. Among them, there happens to be a top-level exercise suitable for dark spiritual roots."

After saying that, Lin Hezhen stretched out his right index finger and touched the center of Kato Megumi's forehead. A large amount of information flowed into Kato Megumi's mind from his fingertips, which was exactly the cultivation method.

While Lin Hezhen was passing on his skills, he also poured a trace of spiritual power into Kato Megumi's body, and completed a large circulation along the route of the skills.

With his help, Kato Hui even skipped the step of sensing spiritual energy and guiding it into the body. She only needed to practice according to the method described in the technique.

Kato Megumi closed her eyes and practiced for a long time, until the spiritual power in her body reached a limit, she slowly opened her eyes.

At this moment, her eyes had become as black as ink, and the aura around her was deep and gloomy, just like the deep night sky, as if hiding endless mysteries.

"call--"

After exhaling the turbid air in her chest, Kato Megumi felt refreshed, and her whole body was radiating infinite vitality and energy.

“Kazuma, cultivation is truly amazing!” A hint of joy finally appeared on her calm face.

Lin Hezhen advised: "Go home and practice more. When the sun rises and the moon is at its zenith, try to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. This will effectively refine your spiritual energy."

"Yeah, I've got that." Kato Megumi nodded repeatedly.

"I'll teach you another set of body-building boxing techniques. Go back and practice them well."

After that, Lin Hezhen injected a sophisticated body-building boxing suitable for female practitioners into Kato Hui's brain.

Afterwards, he asked Kato Megumi to practice the boxing techniques while correcting her wrong postures until an hour later when Kato Megumi had memorized the entire set of movements.

"That's all for today. You can go back and practice on your own. If you have any questions, ask me."

Lin Hezhen handed the mineral water and disposable towel in his hand to the panting Kato Megumi.

"Thank you, Kazuma. That's very thoughtful of you."

Kato Megumi took the towel and wiped the sweat off her face, unscrewed the bottle cap and drank half a bottle of water in one breath, only then did she feel a little better.

Putting down the bottle, Kato Megumi turned her head and found that Lin Hezhen was staring at her without blinking, and was caught off guard.

Oh no, he saw my unladylike side.

Kato Megumi was annoyed and her face was burning hot. She quickly used her hands as a fan and fanned her face.

"It's so hot today."

Kato Megumi murmured, and although her voice was soft, it just happened to fall into Lin Hezhen's ears.

Lin Hezhen took the opportunity to look up at the sky: "Yes, it's so hot and humid, it might rain soon."

He looked at Kato Megumi, and saw that her beautiful and dignified face was faintly pink, like clouds in the western sky rippling in the waves.

The swan neck, ivory-white and slender with graceful curves, shimmers like a pearl under the light.

Further down, a pair of delicate collarbones are faintly visible at the collar of the shirt. The skin at the collarbones is white and the shape is elegant, revealing a hint of skinny beauty despite her thin figure.

After exercising, the thin summer school uniform was soaked with sweat and clung tightly to her body, making her shoulders round and small and her breasts perky and plump.

Most of the white and slender legs were exposed, slender, straight and well-proportioned, as if they were God's most perfect masterpiece.

This girl doesn't look stunning at first glance, but upon closer inspection, she is so stunning that one can't take their eyes off her.

Lin Hezhen looked at her sweat-soaked school uniform and said with concern, "It must be uncomfortable to wear such clothes. I will use magic to clean them for you."

He cast a spell to remove all the sweat from Kato Megumi's body and the stains on her school uniform.

"Are you feeling better?"

Kato Hui blushed slightly and said softly, "Much better..."

Lin Hezhen took his hand back: "It's almost time, I'll take you home."

Kato Megumi said "hmm", and the two turned and walked towards the park exit.

After leaving the park and walking down a long slope, you will arrive at Kato Megumi's home.

The two walked side by side on the long slope, the shadows of the trees beside the road swaying at their feet, and occasionally a few passers-by in a hurry passed by.

"Kazuma, when did you start practicing Taoism?" Kato Megumi asked curiously.

"A long, long time ago." Lin Hezhen's thoughts suddenly returned to the distant past.

At that time, he had just traveled to the world of immortal cultivation and turned into a weak and helpless baby. He was abandoned in the wilderness, cold and hungry.

If the herbal medicine-collecting team from the sect had not happened to pass by and brought him back to the sect, he would probably have been fed to wild beasts long ago.

Afterwards, he was diagnosed with top-grade spiritual roots. He was raised by his master and fellow senior brothers and sisters, and began to practice since he was a child.

Due to the existence of the automatic cultivation golden finger, he upgraded at an incredibly fast speed and was promoted to the Golden Core Stage when he was in his twenties.

In addition to practicing, he would occasionally go down the mountain to carry out some tasks. After he was promoted to the Golden Core Stage, he spent most of his time practicing in seclusion in the sect.

Kato Megumi asked again: "What kind of person is Kazuma's master? An old gentleman with white hair and a youthful face? Is he like the old immortal in the fairy tales?"

"Hahaha, that's not the case. My master looks like a handsome middle-aged uncle. He has an elegant and easy-going personality, a good temper, and is very protective of his people. If anyone dares to bully someone from our sect in front of him, he will definitely make that person regret being born into this world."

"He sounds like a very interesting uncle." Kato Megumi said with a smile.

Lin Hezhen shook his head: "You call him uncle? In fact, he is already over a thousand years old, but he looks younger."

"Thousands of years old!" Kato Megumi's pink lips opened slightly.

"Yes, there are no years in the mountains, and the cold lasts forever. The scenery outside the city is ancient, and the days and months in the cave are long."

This poem was not recited in the island language, so Kato Megumi could not understand it, but this did not prevent her from hearing a deep and distant meaning in it, as if it could travel through time and space, span thousands of years, and reach the deepest part of people's hearts.

"So, Kazuma only has cultivation in his mind and no one he cares about?" Kato Megumi asked after a moment of hesitation.

Lin Hezhen looked up at the sky.

"It would be a lie to say that I don't miss you. Some people and some things cannot be forgotten just by saying so."

Those long-lost smiling faces, the endless chattering, the old house that becomes damp in summer, and the old elm tree in the yard always suddenly come to my mind in the quiet of the night.

It's like watching the crabapple blossoms at four in the morning and staying awake all night.

"That's all in the past. Now, we have to learn to be a calm adult. We are not allowed to be emotional, we are not allowed to secretly miss each other, we are not allowed to look back, we just need to keep moving forward and live the life we ​​want."

Kato Megumi looked up at Lin Hezhen's free and easy smile, and always felt a little lonely.

At this moment, she only felt pain in her chest, as if her heart was blocked by something.

The world suddenly became so quiet, so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat and the blood in my atrium slowly flowing back to my ventricle.

There were some things he said carelessly, but she felt sorry for him seriously.

The girl silently made a decision in her heart.

One day, when I become good enough, I will have the courage to stand in front of you and say to you:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The girl's expression became more determined than ever before, and her black eyes shone like bright stars in the night sky.

The weak presence during the day seems to be reversed at night.

The awakened "darkness" permeated around her, as if the shadow of the entire world was merging with her and turning into nothingness.

She is like a water lily blooming at night, quiet and deep, beautiful and mysterious.

This sudden and mysterious charm shocked a passing teenager on a bicycle.

He turned his head blankly to look at Kato Megumi, not noticing that the bicycle under him had lost balance.

"Be careful."

Lin Hezhen quickly supported him with quick eyes and hands, preventing him from falling into pieces.
