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

"Because...there is nothing in this world that will never be lost, but some people don't believe this, so they want to keep looking for what they have lost, and they will keep looking for it for their entire lives."

"Don't you have such concerns?"

"No."

"You are simply not a human being. You can abandon everything and forget everything!"

"You're wrong. I'm not forgetting everything. I'm losing everything."

Some people lose everything in order to lose no more.

Others, however, want to regain what they have lost even if it means giving up everything - even though they know that it is just an unattainable wish.

"Don't give up. At least you can still have it now, but I don't even have the qualifications to have it."

When Ying Lili thought of the voices and smiles of her deceased parents, her eyes became wet again and tears rolled down uncontrollably.

She never thought that she would become like this one day.

The grief I felt when I learned of my father's death and the despair I felt when I witnessed my mother's murder all flooded into my heart.

But what was even more difficult for her to accept was that the person she once loved the most had completely faded from her life.

Everything will pass away, and only memories will remain.

Is memory real or illusory? It cannot be seen or touched, but it is so heavily engraved in our hearts.

Eriri couldn't give up everything and transcend on her own like Hayashi Kazuma did. All she could do was remember it deeply.

Only in this way did she feel that her life had meaning.

"Go to bed early." Lin Hezhen patted Ying Lili's head and walked into the house.

Ying Lili was alone, looking up at the lonely moon in the sky, speechless for a long time.

"Ah!"

She sneezed.

The night is as quiet as water, with the occasional chirping of cicadas.

Ying Lili rubbed her nose and felt a little weak.

Is it because of the rain before?

She hurried back to her room and curled up on the sofa in the wind shelter.

……

The next day, Lin Hezhen prepared food and water for the Unsmiling Cat and Ying Lili, and went out with his schoolbag.

As July came, the temperature gradually rose.

There was a sense of stuffiness in the air, mixed with a few strands of humidity occasionally, which was a sign that a rainstorm was about to fall.

The restless crickets, cicadas and dragonflies flap their wings tirelessly, playing a special BGM for the hot summer.

"When it comes to summer, what do you think of?" asked Yoshihiko Kamigo mysteriously.

"Summer vacation!" A classmate expressed everyone's thoughts.

"Yes, vacations, beaches, and beauties in bikinis. Ah, I can't wait to enjoy it all."

Yoshihiko Kamigo opened his arms and closed his eyes, as if he had already smelled the salty smell from the ocean.

"Yes, yes, it would be nice if there were girls with big breasts." The people around started to cheer.

"If you're good-looking, flat breasts are acceptable," a boy retorted.

"What? Obviously breasts are more important than faces."

"What do you know? Are you okay with big tank tops? Waist, legs, buttocks are also very important."

"I'm telling you guys, don't turn the school into your XP awards ceremony," said Uego Yoshihiko dissatisfiedly, "The most important part is the feet!"

Everyone stepped back: "You are really perverted."

Uesugi Yoshihiko argued unconvincedly: "How can this be called perverted? Girls' feet are the cutest things in the world, white, small and slender, with round and soft toes, pink and crystal clear, snow-white insteps, plump soles, slender ankles and beautiful shapes... They are unparalleled works of art!"

"Shangxiang, you are still the best."

This time, even Lin Hezhen had to admire him for daring to expose his XP in broad daylight and talking about it so much. Didn’t he see that the looks of the girls around him changed?

"What nonsense are you saying again?" Shizuka Hiratsuka walked behind Yoshihiko Kamigo at some point and raised her hand to knock on his head.

"Even if we have summer vacation, we have to pass the final exam first! Shangxiang, if your grades drop too much, I will visit your home, and then..." She threatened in a drawn-out tone.

"Oh, Mr. Hiratsuka, I will definitely review well, please let me go!" Yoshihiko Kamigo begged for mercy repeatedly.

"That won't work. The home visit is a done deal, unless you can get the principal to change his mind."

Uego Yoshihiko wailed, "How can this be fixed? The game I just bought during the Steam summer sale is no longer playable."

Lin Hezhen patted his shoulder and said seriously, "Brother, lend me your account for a few days. You don't need it anyway, right?"

"You also have a final exam, don't you need to review?" Yoshihiko Kamigo's eyes widened.

Lin Hezhen said leisurely: "No, I am number one in the grade."

"How ridiculous! Is this the leisure time that a top student has? This is really hateful!"

Yoshihiko Kamigo let out the whine of a poor student.

……

During lunch break, an uninvited guest stood outside the door and peeked in, attracting the attention of the whole class.

The reason is that the person is too conspicuous.

Her black and shiny hair fell naturally, as smooth and soft as black satin. Her wine-red eyes were slightly narrowed, with a hint of laziness.

Her nose is straight and delicate, her lips are plump and tender like rose petals, her skin is fair and delicate, and her facial features are beautifully combined. She looks pure, sexy, and has a hint of charm.

In addition, her body proportions are very good, with a slender waist, a tall and round chest, an elegant and smooth hip line, and straight and slender thighs. She looks like a beautiful, attractive yet proud cat.

Her arrival caused quite a stir.

"Hey, isn't this the third-year Kasumigaoka-senpai? Why are you in our class?"

"It looks like he's looking for someone."

"Who are you looking for? You're not looking for me, are you?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Girls would avoid you if they saw your face."

The students began to whisper.

Lin Hezhen raised his head and glanced at the door. Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes lit up and she waved to him repeatedly.

Uego Kihiko said sourly, “Kazuma, this is the nth beautiful lady who has come to see you?”

"I don't remember." Lin Hezhen replied calmly.

"Why are you so calm?" asked Yoshihiko Kamigo.

"I'm used to it."

Yoshihiko Kamigo was speechless. Is this the leisure that a handsome guy has?

"By the way, with so many beautiful girls around you, have they already reached adulthood?" he asked in a low voice.

Lin Hezhen resolutely denied: "How is that possible? I am still single now."

Uesugi Yoshihiko sighed and shook his head: "You really don't know how to cherish your own charm. If I were you, I would have lived a happy life with girls on both sides."

"Then I wish you all your wishes come true soon."

Lin Hezhen stood up and walked towards Kasumigaoka Utaha who was already waiting impatiently.

"So slow." At the corner of the empty stairs, Kasumigaoka Utaha was shaking her legs in annoyance.

"Is there anything wrong?" Lin Hezhen asked calmly.

"Can't I look for you if there's nothing wrong?" An ambiguous smile appeared on her face.

Kasumigaoka Utaha moved closer to Hayashi Kazuma step by step, her plump breasts almost touching his chest.

She stood on tiptoe and put her lips close to his ear: "Actually, I dreamed about you last night. Do you want to know what that dream was like?"

Lin Hezhen raised his eyebrows: "I don't really want to go into your dream, so listen carefully, you didn't dream last night."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned and blinked helplessly - why didn't this person play by the rules?

"Did you call me out just to listen to your talking in your sleep? Now that I've finished listening to your talking in your sleep, I'm going back." Lin Hezhen turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly stopped him.

"Anything else?"

"I want to ask how Eriri is doing." Kasumigaoka Utaha said resentfully.

"She is my dog, what does it have to do with you?" Lin Hezhen said unhappily.

Kasumigaoka Utaha bit her lip unwillingly: "We found it together. Although she lives in your house, I still have the right to know how she is doing now."

Lin Hezhen hesitated for a moment and said, "She's fine now, but she has some symptoms of a cold."

"Is Eriri sick?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was shocked.

"It may be because it rained that day, but it doesn't matter, I will cure her."

"You treated her?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes were full of suspicion.

"You're not a veterinarian, and you can't give human medicine to a dog. At least take her to the pet hospital for a checkup."

Lin Hezhen smiled but said nothing. As a cultivator, he was more than capable of curing a minor cold, not to mention resurrecting dead bodies.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't know the inside story. She just thought that Hayashi Kazuma was a rough guy who didn't take his pet's illness seriously and didn't want to take Eriri to the hospital.

"No, I'm going to your house today to take Eriri to see a doctor, and I'll pay for it."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's attitude is very firm.

"I'm not doing this to save money." Lin Hezhen said helplessly.

"If you don't agree, I'll die in front of you!" said Kasumigaoka Utaha, pretending to pull off her clothes.

"Is it necessary to go to this extent? What kind of death requires taking off one's clothes?"

"Of course, it's to make you socially dead." Kasumigaoka Utaha puffed out her chest and said confidently.

"Wow, this is the true secret of female boxing."

……

After discussing the time and place of the meeting with Kasumigaoka Utaha, Hayashi Kazuma was finally able to get rid of her and go to the service club for lunch.

Hayasaka Ai didn't come today. She took a leave and her return date is not yet determined.

All in all, she might never come back.

It is also possible that in the next moment, that dazzling golden hair will come into view, and come over with a smile to greet him: "Good morning~"

...I really hope so.

Lin Hezhen shook his head, shook off the unnecessary thoughts, opened the door and walked into the activity room.

"Mr. Lin, you are so late. What did the famous senior sister Kasumigaoka tell you in private?"

Several pairs of beautiful eyes of different colors looked at him at the same time, with inquiry and amusement.

"Can I get leniency if I confess?" Lin Hezhen sat in his own seat with familiarity.

"Not necessarily, but if you don't confess, I will definitely punish you severely." Yukinoshita Yukino put down the book in her hand and revealed a cold smile as rare as a morning star.

"Actually, she just missed my dog ​​and made an appointment with me to go see it after school," Lin Hezhen said frankly.

Yukinoshita Yukino opened her eyes wide: "In her eyes, your charm is not even as good as that of a dog?"

“…It’s a bit heartbreaking when you say that.”

Sakurajima Mai breathed a sigh of relief: "It's a pity that Kasumigaoka Utaha has a pair of big, bright eyes, but she is actually blind."

"Everyone has their own preferences. Not every bug likes to eat bitter vegetables."

"So, Mr. Lin, when did you get a dog?" Kato Megumi's focus was more normal.

Lin Hezhen simply explained: "Just a few days ago, I picked up a little golden retriever in front of the convenience store. Kasumigaoka Utaha was there at the time. That woman insisted on fighting with me for the custody of Eriri. Fortunately, Eriri chose to go home with me, otherwise she would have starved to death."
