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

In addition, they have many opportunities to eat French food in their daily lives, but rarely have the chance to eat at roadside stalls at temple fairs. Compared with the delicious food carefully prepared by chefs, street snacks are more attractive.

Therefore, the girls hardly touched the French food on the table, but instead enthusiastically discussed the fireworks display they were going to attend tonight.

Lin Hezhen ate with great relish, silently finishing the food on his plate.

Originally, an authentic French meal requires finishing one dish before moving on to the next, and the entire process often takes several hours.

But the girls didn't want to waste time here. Before the main course was served, they put down their knives and forks and went to choose yukatas under the guidance of the servants.

When the chef came out to greet the guests after serving the dishes as per the rules, he was faced with an empty long table and a pile of untouched dishes.

"Isn't this...to the guests' taste?" The poor chef's face turned green. He thought that he might lose his job soon.

"They are just not hungry. In fact, you are a great cook and the dishes you make are delicious." Lin Hezhen comforted him.

"Thank you!" The chef bowed deeply to Lin Hezhen as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"I hope Master Lin can say a few good words to Miss Kaguya! I have an 80-year-old mother and a 3-year-old child. Everyone in the family depends on me for their livelihood. I really need this job!"

"Oh... no problem, no problem..." Lin Hezhen gave an awkward yet polite smile.

By the way, how did I become the son-in-law of the Shinomiya family for no apparent reason?

So when your Shigong family forcefully marries a man, you don't need to inform him or go through any formalities, and it's all unilateral?

……

After Lin Hezhen finished all the thirteen dishes, the girls wearing beautiful yukatas and wooden clogs finally arrived.

"Mr. Lin, have you finished eating? We are ready to leave." Kaguya Shinomiya walked over and said.

She had her long hair tied up, revealing her fair neck. She was wearing a black bathrobe embroidered with flowers and butterflies, and a rouge-colored belt tied around her slender waist.

Her breasts were full and plump, her buttocks were round and firm, and her feet under her yukata were white and cute. She was wearing a pair of black clogs and walked with elegant and dignified steps, like a classical beauty walking out of a painting.

Shinomiya Kaguya held a round fan in her hand, half covering her face, and turned around in place, showing him the big bow on her back, and asked nervously, "Does it look good?"

Her shy look mixed with a hint of expectation has the same effect as the lines from the poem "After putting on makeup, I asked my husband in a low voice, how deep or shallow are my eyebrows?"

This outfit of Shinomiya Kaguya was matched by Hayasaka Ai, but she herself is not sure how effective it will be - maybe she should wear something more refreshing and bright?

However, Lin Hezhen sincerely praised: "Very beautiful!"

To be honest, any traditional costume that can survive the test of time must have its own unique features.

In addition, Hayasaka Ai, the all-round maid, has a pretty good aesthetic sense, and this yukata matches Shinomiya Kaguya's temperament very well.

The black yukata sets off her crystal clear skin like white jade, making her look even more charming.

Coupled with her delicate makeup and light pink lips, she looks like an enchanting peony.

"It's beautiful and suits you very well." Lin Hezhen did not hesitate to give his praise.

Hearing this, Shinomiya Kaguya lowered her head shyly, then raised her neck proudly and smiled her brightest smile: "Then let's get going."

Lin Hezhen nodded and left the restaurant with Shinomiya Kaguya.

A group of six people and a dog took two cars to the venue of the fireworks display.

Hayashi Kazuma was riding in the same car with Eriri, Shinomiya Kaguya, and Yukinoshita Yukino.

But Yukinoshita Yukino also changed into a purple yukata, which was embroidered with white patterns and a bright yellow belt tied around her slender waist, which made her look even more beautiful and refined.

Her black, shiny and smooth hair was braided into a pigtail, hanging down in front of her undulating chest, making people want to explore the beauty in it.

Two slender and well-proportioned legs are revealed from the hem of the yukata. The skin, as white as ice, shines brightly in the sun. It is so white and tender that it seems as if it could be blown away.

The black clogs on her feet make her feet look cute, delicate and white. They are like exquisitely carved works of art, as if they are not stained by dust, making people want to reach out and touch them.

Although this outfit looks low-key and simple, it is even more attractive when paired with that fresh and snow-white face.

"Have you seen enough?" Shinomiya Kaguya's unhappy voice suddenly sounded.

She snorted softly, turned her head and stared out the window, looking angry.

Across from her, Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her head slightly, stretched out her soft hand to cover the corner of her mouth, smiled secretly, and a hint of shyness appeared between her brows.

Lin Hezhen smiled calmly: "I'm just enjoying the beautiful scenery. Kaguya, how long will it take us to reach our destination?"

"Just look at the navigation yourself, I won't tell you." Shinomiya Kaguya said unhappily.

"hehe."

Yukinoshita Yukino put her slender fingers over her lips and chuckled.

"It seems that although we didn't decide the winner in swimsuits, we have decided the winner in yukatas."

Hearing this, Shinomiya Kaguya's beautiful eyebrows twisted fiercely: "Lin Jun didn't say anything."

"No need to speak, his eyes have already betrayed him."

Then, Yukinoshita Yukino turned to Hayashi Kazuma with a victorious smile.

"I thought you'd seen enough," she said, smiling.

Lin Hezhen sat in a state of panic: "Don't say something that could easily be misunderstood!"

"So Lin Jun is obsessed with legs. That's easy. Let's not talk about breasts for now. In terms of legs, I won't lose to anyone."

Kaguya Shinomiya deliberately moved her crossed legs up and down, revealing her sexy legs and a vague, stunning glimpse of the scenery under her skirt.

"Hey, Lin-kun, take a look at my legs too. As a veteran leg lover, you can judge who has better legs, me or Yukinoshita."

"Shinomiya-san, please don't say anything that could be misunderstood!"

Chapter 264: Fight against foreign aggression first, then stabilize the country

The fireworks display was held in an open space next to "Fo Zhang Lake".

This artificial lake, created by Lin Hezhen's "Tathagata Palm" that fell from the sky, has now become a famous tourist attraction in Dongdu City.

Replacing the original Imperial Palace and the National Shrine, this vacant land was converted into a huge square, located by the mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery.

When Lin Hezhen and his group arrived at Fozhang Lake, the sky had already darkened and a lot of people had gathered in the square.

Although it is almost the end of summer, the lakeside is still very cool and comfortable at night.

Because of the fireworks display, many open-air vendors set out their goods early, and the cries of hawking were heard one after another, attracting the attention of tourists.

There are also many security guards in uniform patrolling around to prevent accidents.

"It's so lively." Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but sigh when she saw the crowded scene.

She had never witnessed a fireworks display in her life, and this time she finally got her wish.

The car drove into the VIP parking lot and everyone got out one after another.

"There are a lot of people here, be careful not to get separated, and it's best to hold hands." Hayasaka Ai called everyone to walk towards the square, and took Lin Hezhen's left hand.

Lin Hezhen: “…”

Shinomiya Kaguya, Yukinoshita Yukino: "(⊙_⊙)!"

The two were shocked and angry. This vixen actually took the opportunity to hold hands with Lin Jun. What a scheming girl.

Moreover, even if they wanted to follow suit and hold Lin Hezhen's other hand, it would be impossible.

Because Hayashi Kazuma was holding Eriri in his right hand and his left hand was tightly held by Hayasaka Ai, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for him to have one hand free for both of them.

"Hayasaka, is this how you treat your best sisters?!" Shinomiya Kaguya stomped her feet angrily, but there was nothing she could do.

There are so many people here, she can't run up to Hayasaka Ai and argue with her, right?

After all, this is a question of internal distribution between the two people and can be resolved later.

The most important thing now is to capture Lin Hezhen and prevent him from leaving this world, and at the same time eliminate other competitors besides the two of them.

The strategy of "pacifying the country before fighting foreign enemies" is not applicable at the moment.

Even if Hayasaka Ai dealt with Hayashi Kazuma first, Shinomiya Kaguya would be confident that she could climb into their marriage bed.

"call--"

After considering the pros and cons, Shinomiya Kaguya managed to keep her sanity. She took deep breaths, adjusted her emotions, and tried her best to suppress her possessiveness and jealousy.

At the same time, Hayasaka Ai seemed to have a telepathic connection with her. She turned around and gave Shinomiya Kaguya a look that said "calm down".

The two people's eyes met in the air and then separated. Although it was only a brief exchange, they had already tacitly understood each other's intentions, and Shinomiya Kaguya immediately calmed down.

This silent interaction did not escape the eyes of Yukinoshita Yukino who was standing next to them.

She couldn't help but have doubts in her heart: "They are obviously sworn enemies in love, but why are they like comrades standing in the same trench, with no grudges? Even if one of them is ahead, the other can still act so calm and indifferent?"

Yukinoshita Yukino is a girl who is not worldly-wise and tactful, but that doesn't mean she is a fool.

In fact, she is very smart and observant.

Through a brief contact with Hayasaka Ai, she keenly realized that this girl also liked Hayashi Kazuma, and Shinomiya Kaguya also knew it.

"Has Kaguya Shinomiya decided to give in and give Kazuma to Hayasaka Ai?" Yukinoshita Yukino speculated in her heart.

"No, that's not right! If Kaguya Shinomiya has already given up on Kazuma, then why is she showing such strong jealousy and fighting spirit towards me?"

"Could it be..."

Yukinoshita Yukino was shocked, and she suddenly thought of a possibility.

"No... it's impossible for someone to do this, right? That's totally against common sense! Besides, Kaguya Shinomiya is the heiress of the wealthy Shinomiya family. She's arrogant and conceited. How could she join forces with others to share the person she loves?"

Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head hard, trying to deny the thought that suddenly popped up in her mind.

However, the thought was extremely stubborn and kept lingering in her mind.

Remove all impossible factors, and what remains, no matter how much you don't want to believe it, it is the truth.

The more Yukinoshita Yukino thought about it, the more she felt that things might be just as she had guessed.

Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino became confused and her face changed slightly.

If Kaguya Shinomiya really makes such a bold move, will Lin Hezhen be deceived by them? And how should he deal with it?

She lowered her head and pondered, her eyebrows slightly knitted, and she was deeply entangled.

……

Lin Hezhen and his group walked to the busy square.

The celebration has already begun. There are people carrying sedan chairs in the parade in the square, and the atmosphere is full of laughter and joy.

The crowd walked all the way to the center of the square, where two huge bonfires were burning.

Behind the fire was a high platform, on which some women in yukata were singing in unison, and there were musicians playing taiko drums and shamisen for accompaniment.

Many people in yukatas dance to the beat of the dance around the platform and the fire. This kind of traditional dance usually lasts all night, but in big cities, due to the fast pace of life, most people just do it for the sake of formality.

Hayasaka Ai looked at it and said to Hayashi Kazuma with a smile, "Hayashi-kun, let's go do the folk dance too."

"I can't."

"It's very simple, not harder than dancing the waltz." Shinomiya Kaguya walked up to Lin Hezhen and said, "Didn't you dance the waltz at the ball before?"

"But, if I were to blend in with you in casual clothes, wouldn't I feel out of place?"

Lin Hezhen looked at the men and women who were dancing. They were basically wearing traditional costumes of the island country.

All the men inside wore turbans and had seal boxes hanging around their waists. There were a few men on the stage who were only wearing loincloths, and they refused to wear them like that.

Shinomiya Kaguya said beside him: "Now that you are here, just follow me and dance a circle! I will teach you!"

After saying that, she dragged Hayashi Kazuma forward. Hayashi Kazuma had no choice but to hand Eriri to Hayasaka Ai and entered the venue with Shinomiya Kaguya.

Hayasaka Ai watched as the two of them came to the fire, holding hands, twisting their bodies to the rhythm of the music, and smiling.

"That's great. I heard that during the late night festival, the men and women dancing around the fire will eventually get married and live happily together forever."

Really?" Ying Lili asked in surprise, "Then you, uh, give this opportunity to someone else, is that okay?"

Just now, Hayasaka Ai took the initiative to come up and hold Lin Hezhen's hand, and even a fool could see her feelings.

"It doesn't matter, because Kaguya and I are of one mind, so it doesn't matter who comes first or later. For us, as long as we can be with the person we love, it's enough." Hayasaka Ai said lightly.

“Are you chaebol people all this good at playing?! Σ(°△°|||)︴…” Eriri said. Although I didn’t understand what she said, I was greatly shocked.

Hayasaka Ai shook her head and smiled, but did not answer.

Next to the fire, Hayashi Kazuma and Shinomiya Kaguya cooperated very well and danced gracefully on the field.
