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

If it weren't for the sudden terminal illness, they would have grown old together, with children and grandchildren around them, and when they were old and gray, they would still hold hands and go to the beach to watch the sunset...

Unfortunately, in the dream, Kato Megumi’s illness made all the “ifs” come to nothing - she passed away a few years after her marriage, and the couple didn’t even leave any children.

Kato Megumi still remembers that after she "saw" her own death in the dream, Lin Kazuma stood in front of the grave, emaciated and heartbroken, and the scene of him cutting through the space-time channel and jumping into the endless void.

Kato Megumi just wanted to tell him that even if one day they would be separated, Kato Megumi was willing to follow him to another world to cultivate their fate in the next life.

"By then, I just hope that when we meet again, we can still say to each other the simplest words - 'I do'." Kato Megumi said softly.

Of course, the ending of separation between the Yin and Yang was still too cruel for her. She really didn't want to experience this torment of heartbreak and death again.

"As expected, it would be better to be with you for a long time in reality. My favorite life is that every time I open my eyes in the morning, you and the sunshine are there."

Her voice was very soft, like a whisper or a dream, but it became particularly firm when she said the last sentence.

Kato Megumi firmly believes that there is a kind of feeling in the world that does not need to be shown to others, nor does it need to be too clingy. As long as he lets her stay quietly by his side, she is lucky.

In order to protect this little happiness, she is willing to give everything!

Kato Megumi took a deep breath and got out of bed decisively.

She walked to the center of the bedroom and began to practice facing the moon.

In the dream, she was just an ordinary person and naturally could not resist the natural laws of birth, aging, sickness and death.

But now she has started practicing. Immortal cultivators have strong physiques and long lifespans. Even the weakest cultivator in the body-building stage can live to 150 years old.

Moreover, as the level of cultivation improves, lifespan can reach thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

She still has a long time to spend with the man she loves most in the future.

Therefore, now that she has this opportunity, she should improve her cultivation as soon as possible!

However, there was one thing she couldn't figure out. In her dream, why didn't Lin Hezhen teach her the way of cultivation, and why didn't he use the methods of a cultivator to cure her when she fell ill?

She was a little confused, but she could only suppress it temporarily. Anyway, she still had a lot of time to think slowly in reality, so she should practice first...

……

The next morning, Lin Hezhen woke up from his sleep and felt his nose itchy.

"Ah sneeze——"

He sneezed violently and tried to touch his nose, but instead touched something furry.

"What is this?" He quickly turned over and sat up.

When he looked down, he saw a golden retriever puppy curled up beside his pillow.

"Hey, Lin Hezhen, are you awake? I knew you would wake up!"

Ying Lili jumped up happily, hugged him, kissed, bit, rubbed and licked him, just like a real puppy.

"Oh, what are you doing? How come it becomes like this after just one night?" Lin Hezhen was tickled by her and quickly hid aside.

"One night? Oh, right, this is the real world, not a dream." Ying Lili finally reacted.

"In a dream?"

"It's nothing, nothing, hehe." Ying Lili played dumb and got it over with.

She didn't want Lin Hezhen to know that she had such an embarrassing dream.

"It's incomprehensible. Don't forget, we still have to attend the funeral of your parents and grandparents today." Lin Hezhen carried Ying Lili to the ground.

"Yeah." Hearing this, Eriri instantly became depressed.

"Don't be too sad. At least your uncle is still alive. He has woken up and will attend the funeral today." Lin Hezhen comforted her.

"I know, I will live well and watch my enemies die one by one." Ying Lili said firmly.

"However, Kazuma, Pope Andre of the Church of All Things is very powerful and is plotting something in the island nation. You must not take it lightly!"

Ying Lili recalled the scene in her dream where Lin Hezhen almost died together with Andre, and she couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Lin Hezhen was stunned for a moment, then rubbed her little head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid. If I wasn't absolutely sure, why would I go head-to-head with him?"

"In a few days, when I absorb the power of faith from the three artifacts, I will be able to advance to the Golden Core Stage, which will be enough to leverage most of the power of the Taiqing Yuanying. Andre may not be my opponent."

"That's good." Ying Lili felt slightly relieved.

"Ding dong."

Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.

"Who is it, so early in the morning?" Lin Hezhen muttered and was about to open the door.

The door of the room had been opened from the outside. Sakurajima Mai, wearing only a pure white nightgown, brought a gust of fragrance and threw herself into Lin Hezhen's arms like a moth to a flame.

"Wow, so bold!" Ying Lili was so shocked by this scene that the whole person, no, the whole dog turned gray.

"He Zhen, don't go! Don't leave me!" She hugged Lin He Zhen's neck and pleaded in a crying voice.

Lin Hezhen was stunned for half a second by her sudden action. He looked down at the girl in his arms, only to see that her eyes were red and crystal tears were hanging on her eyelashes.

"Mai? What's wrong with you?" Lin Hezhen asked.

“Kazuma… I just had a nightmare. I dreamed that you left me… Promise me, no matter what, you won’t leave me alone, okay?”

Mai Sakurajima buried her face in Hayashi Kazuma's chest and hugged his waist tightly with her hands, as if if she relaxed a little, Hayashi Kazuma would disappear from her.

"You said you had a nightmare, dreaming that I left you?" Lin Hezhen seemed to understand something.

He turned his head to look at the Zhenjingjin Mirror in the corner of the room, his face full of murderous intent, as if he was going to raise his foot and crush it into pieces in the next second.

The Zhenjingjin Mirror made a "buzzing" sound, and the mirror body kept shaking, then rolled under the bed like a frightened child.

"I'll come and deal with you later!" Lin Hezhen mouthed to it.

He patted Mai Sakurajima's back and soothed her softly, "Mai, you said it was a nightmare. How could a dream become reality?"

"You know what kind of person I am, so how could I abandon you?"

Sakurajima Mai pursed her lips tightly, and after a moment of silence, she slowly raised her head, her face full of tears: "Really?"

"Of course!" Lin Hezhen said firmly.

Sakurajima Mai bit her lip and said, "If you really dare to do that, even if you escape to another world, I will chase you and pull you out!"

Lin Hezhen couldn't help but laugh: "If I really did something to hurt you, I would have no complaints even if you killed me."

Sakurajima Mai shook her head: "I won't kill you! I will only cut your tendons, tie you up with chains, and lock you in the basement, so that you can never leave me! Don't ever think of abandoning me!"

Lin Hezhen was so annoyed when he heard this: "Mai, I didn't realize before that you actually have the potential to become a dark yandere."

"Hmph, are you scared? If so, then take responsibility for it! I will make you pay for the sin of stealing a girl's heart with your whole life!" There was a cunning light in Sakurajima Mai's dark eyes.

Lin Hezhen said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I get it. It's just a dream, but you are still worried about it. Mai, don't you have to shoot a commercial today? I'm also going to attend the funeral of Eriri's family soon."

"Hmph, I'll let you go for now."

Mai Sakurajima warned: "I will ask Shinomiya to keep an eye on you at all times, so don't even think about running away alone!"

"Is it necessary to go to this extent?" Lin Hezhen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Of course, Senior Brother is the most important person to me~"

After saying that, Mai Sakurajima put her arms around Lin Hezhen's neck and kissed him hard on the collarbone.

"Hiss, what are you doing?" Lin Hezhen quickly pushed her away.

"Put your own logo on my things, of course!" she said proudly like a queen.

Lin Hezhen only felt that Sakurajima Mai had become much more aggressive. It seemed that the dream deduced by Zhen Jingjingjing brought her great stimulation.

I wonder if other girls have had those dreams too?

Lin Hezhen felt a headache whenever he thought about this.

Chapter 249 Death cannot separate us

Lin Hezhen finally persuaded Sakurajima Mai to leave, but when he turned around, he was met with Eriri's resentful gaze.

"Flirtatious! Frivolous! Dissolute! Unfaithful!" Ying Lili screamed and jumped up and down.

"Okay, stop it." Lin Hezhen was helpless and reached out to pull her off him.

"No matter what I do, it's not your turn to speak, right?" He spread his hands.

"Hmph, I don't care, I'm going to tell you!" Ying Lili muttered, looking at the "strawberry" on his neck with unwilling eyes.

This bad guy is actually having affairs outside...

Unconsciously, Eriri was also affected by the dream and regarded Hayashi Kazuma as her own property.

In that long dream, she stayed with the sleeping man every day, pushed him out to bask in the sun, read to him, talked to him, and even helped him wash his body.

Just as Eriri said to the young nurse in the nursing home, she had long regarded herself as Lin Hezhen's wife.

Even though he knew nothing and was just sleeping, she was still willing to stay by his side, accompany him and take care of him.

With such a deep attachment, he naturally could not tolerate Lin Hezhen being taken away by someone else.

"Hmph, if only you could lie there forever like in the dream, then no one would come to compete with me." Eriri muttered softly.

"Hey, don't say such horrible things casually."

As Lin Hezhen spoke, he reached out and wiped his neck, and the "strawberry" mark left by Sakurajima Mai disappeared.

He is going to attend a funeral later, and it would be inappropriate to go with such an obvious kiss mark.

"Let's go and eat quickly. The car arranged by the Shinomiya family will come to pick us up soon." Lin Kazuma called Eriri to walk out of the bedroom.

He simply made some noodles with scallion oil and an fried egg sandwich for Ying Lili. After eating, Lin Hezhen went to the bedroom to change into a black suit.

This was custom-made for him by someone from the Shinomiya family when he was a male butler in the Shinomiya family.

After he put on his suit and tied a piece of black gauze around Eriri's neck, the doorbell rang.

"Lin-kun, Eriri, are you ready? We are about to set off." The voice of Kaguya Shinomiya was heard outside.

"Well, it's ready." Lin Hezhen pushed the door and walked out.

"Hey, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Lin Hezhen looked at Shinomiya Kaguya's swollen eyes that couldn't be concealed even by makeup, and asked in surprise.

"I... stayed up too late last night, so this happened." Kaguya Shinomiya replied with a forced smile.

"Oh, I see." When Lin Hezhen saw her pale face and haggard appearance, he knew that she must have done more than just staying up late.

"Now that everything is ready, let's go. The car is waiting downstairs."

Kaguya Shinomiya put a pair of exquisite and fashionable sunglasses on her nose and walked towards the elevator entrance first.

In fact, in her heart, there are ten thousand reasons she wants to ask Lin Hezhen, such as why he left her.

However, those things happened in a dream after all. In reality, the two of them had never dated, let alone married. How could he answer?

Therefore, Shinomiya Kaguya could only barely suppress the surging impulse in her heart and pretend nothing had happened.

Since she didn't say anything, Lin Hezhen naturally wouldn't take the initiative to bring up this topic.

The two people and the dog got on the business car in this strange silence and drove to their destination.

The bodies of Eriri's grandparents have been buried, but her parents haven't found their bodies yet. They are probably taken away by the people from the Church of All Things.

They, along with Eriri and Tomoya Aki, are currently listed as "missing persons" by the Metropolitan Police Department.

Since the Sawamura family is also a wealthy family in the island country, the memorial service was held at a very high level. The guests attending the funeral were either rich or noble, and there were also many political leaders from the island country.

In order to avoid causing panic among the people, they concealed the relevant information about the "Church of All Things" and only announced to the public that the two elderly people died in an accident.

"Mr. Sawamura, please accept my condolences."

The current leader of the island nation, Fujiwara Chika's uncle, held Eriri's uncle's hand with a solemn expression.

He comforted her, "Don't worry, the Metropolitan Police Department, Onmyoji and intelligence agencies are already working at full capacity. We've sent people to find out the truth of the matter and will definitely give you an explanation."

Eriri's uncle sat in a wheelchair with his arm in a plaster cast, and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Commander. I just hope that the murderer can be brought to justice, and that my sister, brother-in-law and niece can be found as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I will personally supervise this investigation."

Hayashi Kazuma and Eriri were among the guests.

Originally, pets were not allowed at the memorial service, but Hayashi Kazuma cast an "invisibility spell" on Eriri and brought her in openly.
