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

Come to think of it, if Sakurajima Mai didn't still have a last glimmer of hope for mutual understanding with her mother, she wouldn't have been so stubborn. She is essentially a smart and precocious girl, how could she not understand these principles?

However, her mother's actions extinguished her last glimmer of hope, and her resistance and rebellion seemed so desperate and ridiculous.

It is because she refuses to believe this fact that she resists others from telling the truth.

Lin Hezhen said softly, "Let's stop here. Say goodbye to yesterday and hello to tomorrow. Do what you want to do and don't force yourself."

Sakurajima Mai smiled bitterly and said, "It's easy to say, but do you know how hard it is to break away from your past self? Abandon all good and bad memories, say goodbye to the people closest to you by blood, and run towards the unknown with nothing."

Lin Hezhen gently stroked her head and said, "Girl, be brave. A true warrior dares to face the bleak life and the blood. Besides, don't you have me here? I will accompany you. You are not alone."

"Bah, you are not a human being!" Mai raised her head and glared at him. There were traces of tears on her face, but no more tears flowed from her eyes.

"Just do it if you want to. Is that your outlook on life? Your straightforward attitude is totally different from everyone else's. Where on earth did you come from?"

Lin Hezhen smiled and said, "I am a cultivator. Cultivation is the cultivation of immortality. The most important thing is to have clear thoughts. If you are cultivating immortality but still cannot follow your heart and always compromise yourself, then it is better not to cultivate immortality."

"That's great." Sakurajima Mai murmured softly, with a glimmer of longing in her eyes. "By the way, where did you hear the reason for my retirement?"

"A relative said so. She works for a TV station."

The answer was unexpectedly ordinary, and Mai Sakurajima instantly lost interest: "Is that so? I thought cultivators had some weird means to do this kind of thing."

"It's possible, but it's not necessary." Lin Hezhen said, walking to the bicycle and picking it up.

Fortunately, Lin Hezhen had cast a protective spell on the plastic bag before, so the contents did not spill out.

"Then let's continue riding home. Thanks to you, I rolled on the ground several times and my clothes are so dirty. I really want to go home and wash them as soon as possible."

After he reminded her, Sakurajima Mai looked down at herself. Her beautiful uniform skirt was covered with dust, and she looked like Cinderella.

She was immediately filled with disgust and quickly sat in the back seat of the car, urging Lin Hezhen to leave quickly.

Lin Hezhen stepped on the pedal and the two of them got back on the road and started arguing again.

"It's all your fault. You deliberately spoke in a way that angered me, which led to me jumping out of the car."

"Well, is it my fault?"

"You evil-minded fellow, if you had talked to me in a gentle and gradual way, I would have listened, but you chose to be so rude."

"I'm really sorry for being such a rude man."

"If you know you are wrong, take responsibility for it."

Lin Hezhen's eyes widened and he said, "Responsible? I don't remember doing anything to you."

Sakurajima Mai pinched the soft flesh on his waist without any hesitation: "You just said 'I will accompany you, you are not alone', you want to go back on your word so soon?"

"Oh, you're talking about that thing. Don't worry, even if the whole world forgets Mai, I will still remember you. Even if the whole world abandons you, I will not give up on you."

"What if I stay like this from now on, and no one can see me, and I can't buy anything? What should I do?"

"I'll take care of you!"

"How shameless!" Sakurajima Mai blushed and said coquettishly, "In order to prevent me from falling into that unfortunate situation, I decided to change my agency and make a comeback as soon as possible. When all the TVs are filled with my image, it will be difficult for everyone to ignore me!"

"Good awareness, you should have done this a long time ago."

"Huh, actually I decided to do this yesterday. I sent you a message today, not only to solve the problem of eating, but also to tell you about this."

"Oh, even without my push, you managed to move forward on your own. You've worked hard, Mai."

"What are you doing? Why are you suddenly speaking to me in such an elder's tone?"

"Don't mind it. I just feel a little emotional seeing the child I raised grow up."

"Stop taking advantage of me, you bastard!"

In the deserted alley, the sound of bicycle bells could be heard, and the shadows of the two people reflected on the wall were stretched very long.

When they arrived at the place, Lin Hezhen helped Sakurajima Mai carry two bags of food upstairs and prepared to say goodbye.

Mai Sakurajima stood at the door and said sheepishly, "Kazuma-kun, thank you for these past few days."

"Why, would you like me to come in for a cup of tea?"

"Don't even think about it!" She glared at him angrily, not knowing what she was thinking of.

Lin Hezhen curled his lips and complained, "You can't even offer a cup of tea. This is really not a good way to entertain guests."

"It's progressing too fast. How can you enter a girl's house the first time you send her home?"

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

"Wait a minute." Sakurajima Mai called him and said in a tone that did not allow for argument, "Accompany me tomorrow."

"Dating?"

"Hmph, whatever you think." She looked away, and a blush climbed up her white jade-like cheeks.

"After my comeback, I'm busy again and have no time to play. Besides, I've lived here for two years but haven't traveled around here yet. I'm really unwilling to accept this."

Lin Hezhen nodded and said, "No problem, but I only have half a day. That devilish woman gave me a lot of tutoring homework."

"Hahaha, cultivators also have headaches over homework?"

“It’s mainly because there are too many of them.”

The Yuanying boss felt extremely humiliated that he was troubled by homework.

Yukinoshita Yukino, one day I will make you pay the price! He swore secretly in his heart.

"Okay, then let's meet in front of the station at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. By the way, I'll give you this box of watermelons as a comfort gift." Mai Sakurajima took out the box of "pressed sand watermelons" from the bag of ingredients.

Watermelons are quite expensive in the island country and are considered a high-end product. Plus, it’s only April now, so the price is even more expensive.

After all, it was a token of appreciation from others, so Lin Hezhen did not refuse and took the box of watermelons.

There is nothing wrong with the Asian people eating pressed sand watermelons.

After Sakurajima Mai left, Hayashi Kazuma put away his playful expression.

Regardless of his nature, the ups and downs of life have made him mature and steady enough. The reason why he uses such a frivolous attitude to get along with Sakurajima Mai is just because he sees that she is under too much pressure, so he deliberately makes jokes to make her relax.

Now it seems that the effect is good. Mai Sakurajima is no longer as fearful and confused as before, and even has the leisure to go on a date.

Afterwards, Lin Hezhen did not go home. He performed a "cleansing technique" on himself to remove the dirt and dust on his body, then rode his bicycle to Kato Megumi's house.

Chapter 38 Dragon Tiger Dog

After seeing off one woman, I rush to the next one.

Lin Hezhen felt that he was overwhelmed with trivial matters recently. He had to rush around to several places a day and had no time to practice properly. He couldn't help feeling a little irritated.

"Women are indeed the biggest obstacle in my spiritual practice!" he muttered.

The bicycle with the "magic talisman" on it speeds like lightning, carrying its dark knight through the streets and alleys.

At night, Dongdu takes off the mask of urban elite and reveals its wild and seductive side.

The air was filled with the smell of hormones, the men were drinking, and the women were wearing suspender skirts, indulging themselves in the bright lights and wine.

The April wind blew and hit his arms. Lin Hezhen felt the hot wind and couldn't help but sigh, this is Dongdu, a city born for fever.

Leaving the bustling commercial center and arriving at the relatively quiet residential area, you can occasionally see some beautifully trimmed pine trees poking their heads out from the white walls of the tall and wealthy houses, making you unable to help but imagine the beautiful scene deep in the courtyard.

Finally, he arrived at his destination according to the navigation instructions. Kato Huifa's location was a small park near her home.

At this time, the children playing and the old people taking a walk had all gone home. Only Kato Megumi, wearing a white dress, was sitting on the swing, with three young men standing beside her, seemingly saying something to her.

Lin Hezhen quickly stopped the car and walked over there. His extraordinary hearing quickly caught their conversation.

"My beautiful lady, what have you thought about? Do you want to go to KTV with us? I promise you will have a great time."

"Yeah, yeah, don't worry, we're not good people... Bah, I mean we're not bad people."

Kato Megumi looked up at them speechlessly.

The three guys with shamatte hairstyles and dressed like biker gangs had the word "bad guys" written on their foreheads. Even a three-year-old child would not believe that they were good people.

Seeing that she remained silent, the biggest guy rubbed his hands together and cracked his knuckles.

He said maliciously: "Little girl, we invited you because we think highly of you, so please don't be ungrateful."

"Kotaro, don't be so fierce. Be gentle to girls."

The tall and thin man with squinty eyes advised his companion in a pretentious manner, and then said to Kato Megumi in a friendly manner: "Don't be scared by him, he is just joking. If you don't want to go to KTV, how about we treat you to cake? Yuta, you will pay for it, right?"

"Uh……"

The man who seemed to be not very smart was stunned for a moment, holding his shriveled wallet, and said timidly: "I also paid for dinner tonight."

Kotaro grabbed him by the collar and said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? What's wrong with you?"

"No, no." Yuta immediately backed down.

Kato Hui was not interested in continuing to accompany him, and directly refused: "Sorry, I'm waiting for someone, so I won't go to play with you."

"It's been so long, and the person you're waiting for hasn't come yet. Could it be that your boyfriend stood you up? How pitiful! You must be in a bad mood right now. Why don't we go have a drink? You'll be happy soon."

"I'm underage and can't drink."

Kato Megumi regretted very much choosing this as the meeting place. Although this small park was not far from her home, it was a bit remote. There was not even a single passerby around except them.

In the past, Kato Megumi's weak presence could protect her from harassment, but now it seems as if there is always a spotlight on her head, making it difficult for her to keep a low profile, and she even attracts such flies.

Kotaro lost his patience and shouted irritably, "Toshio, stop talking nonsense with her. Let me do it."

He walked forward and raised his arm to grab Kato Megumi's arm.

"stop!"

Lin Hezhen rushed between them like the wind, slapped away his extended dirty hand, and protected Kato Hui behind him, "The person she is waiting for has arrived."

"Lin-kun!" There was a barely perceptible hint of surprise in Kato Megumi's steady voice.

"Ha, boy, are you planning to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? And you dare to hit me." Kotaro shook his red claws, looking annoyed.

Lin Hezhen said coldly: "If I were you, I would still have time to run away now."

Junfu laughed: "This kid is quite arrogant. Does he know the reputation of our Kurokawa group, the 'Three Heroes of Dragon, Tiger and Dog'?"

Xiong Tai asked weakly, "Who is the dragon, who is the tiger, and who is the dog?"

Junfu glanced at him and said, "Who is the dog? Don't you have any idea?"

"Hahahaha." Kotaro held his stomach and laughed.

After getting the expected answer, Yuta reluctantly swallowed his resentment and shame, but could only lower his head deeply.

What else could he do? He couldn't fight back, and he couldn't escape. What was even more tragic was that apart from these two people, no one else was willing to hang out with him.

Should he cry to a cat-shaped robot from the 22nd century and ask it to take out a magical item from its four-dimensional pocket to help him vent his anger?

Unfortunately, there is no Doraemon in this world, and he is not Nobita Nobi.

After laughing enough, Kotaro said confidently, "I am definitely a dragon."

Junfu denied, "No, you are a tiger and I am a dragon, the dragon of Zhuge Wolong."

"What?" Kotaro was furious. He grabbed Junfu's collar with one hand and pretended to hit him with his other fist as big as a casserole.

Junfu panicked and hurriedly explained, "Aren't you called Kotaro? Who else dares to call himself Tiger except you?"

Kotaro thought about it and said, "That's right, I am a tiger."

Junfu breathed a sigh of relief, finally he had fooled this fool.

Suddenly, Kotaro's not-so-bright brain had a flash of inspiration, and he grasped the core contradiction: "Why should the tiger be ranked after the dragon? Junfu, explain it to me, shouldn't it be tiger, dragon, dog?"

"Uh, this..."

Seeing the three funny guys quarreling among themselves, Lin Hezhen suddenly lost interest in pretending to be cool and was about to leave with Kato Megumi.

Junfu was about to make close contact with Kotaro's fist. He saw this scene from the corner of his eye and shouted quickly: "Kotaro, they are running away!"

Kotaro turned his head and was immediately furious: "Who allowed you to leave?"

"Yes, yes, they simply don't take our Brother Hu seriously!" Junfu was trying to add fuel to the fire.

Kotaro felt that he had lost face, so he immediately let go of Jun's collar and strode towards the two of them.

Lin Hezhen protected Kato Megumi behind him, looked calmly at Kotaro's body that was as oppressive as a black bear, and said, "If you don't take the road to heaven, you will fall into hell without a door."

Kotaro grinned and said, "What's all this flowery bullshit about heaven and hell? I'm going to send you to hell right now!"
