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

"cheers!"

Murakami Maki raised her glass of red wine, Hayashi Kazuma and Sakurajima Mai raised their glasses of orange juice, and the glasses collided, making a crisp sound.

No matter what, Murakami Maki and Sakurajima Mai both got what they wanted. All Lin Hezhen could do was to give them his blessings and protect them secretly.

Only this ordinary daily life cannot be destroyed by anyone.

Chapter 70 Is there pure friendship between men and women?

Sweet shrimp, clams, sea bream, abalone, beef, lamb, chicken thighs...all kinds of ingredients are put into the hot pot by Murakami Maki.

Maki Murakami is an out-and-out carnivore who cannot live without meat for every meal. The reason why she can maintain her current good figure is all due to her inhuman work intensity and her physique that allows her to never gain weight no matter how much she eats.

"Don't just eat meat, eat some vegetables too, so that your nutrition is balanced."

As Lin Hezhen spoke, he put the chopped radishes, potatoes, mushrooms and vegetables into the pot.

"Ah, I hate vegetables. Can I not eat them?" Murakami Maki was acting like a little child.

"No, a picky eater won't grow tall."

"Tsk, don't talk like a child!" Murakami Maki said indignantly, her cheeks puffed up like a bulging pufferfish.

Lin Hezhen glanced at her with contempt, and said, "But you are really not tall. Look, you are even shorter than Miss Mai. You look and behave like a child."

To be honest, although Murakami Maki is ten years older than Hayashi Kazuma, you can't tell from the outside.

She has a petite figure, fair skin, and a cute face that shows no signs of aging and even has a little baby fat.

If it weren't for the external armor on her overdeveloped chest and the serious professional suits she always wears, it would be difficult for outsiders to imagine that she is an adult.

"Damn it, stop looking down on me, I'm a queen, okay! I'll let you taste the power of a young mature woman!"

As Murakami Maki said this, she raised her external armor and attacked Hayashi Kazuma.

Referee, I want to report that someone here dribbled the ball and hit someone.

Murakami Maki was drunk and went crazy, so Lin Hezhen had to use joint techniques to lock her up.

"Stop it, there are guests here, it's a joke to behold."

Sakurajima Mai smiled and said, "No, I envy the way you get along with each other. This is what family is like..."

Lin Hezhen raised an eyebrow, looked at Sakurajima Mai's bowl, and said, "You were eating as much as you could while we were playing around, weren't you? It's been a while since we last met, and you've become a big eater again."

"Ugh." A drop of cold sweat ran down Mai Sakurajima's head.

"I'm so envious. Mai eats so much but still has such a great figure. Do you have any secret?" Murakami Maki also came over.

"No, actually I used to pay attention to my diet in order to maintain my figure, but now it's a special situation..."

"What special situation?"

Sakurajima Mai blushed slightly and glared at Lin Hezhen fiercely: "It's all your fault!"

Sakurajima Mai has just entered the body-building period. During the stage of refining essence into qi, she needs to eat a lot of supplements to transform the essence of food into spiritual energy so that she can practice. Therefore, her appetite is increasing rapidly.

However, these words were like a bolt from the blue to Murakami Maki.

With a "click", the chopsticks fell to the ground.

Murakami Maki lowered her head, trembling all over, her long bangs covering her eyes, and her face was expressionless.

"Lin Hezhen, come with me." She rarely called Lin Hezhen's full name and pulled him into the bedroom.

"Did you kill anyone?" she asked excitedly, locking the door.

Lin Hezhen was so upset that he said, "How is that possible? What are you talking about?"

"So she said it was you who did it? If she wasn't pregnant, I really can't think of any reason why a young girl could eat so much."

"You can eat a lot, don't you? Isn't it normal to have a big appetite now that spring has arrived? There's really nothing between her and me, so don't let your imagination run wild."

"Look at your affectionate interactions, how can you call this nothing?"

"That's all normal interaction between friends."

"Tsk, there's no such thing as pure friendship between men and women? Are you sure you didn't cross the line?" Murakami Maki was still a little skeptical.

"It's absolutely true. If I lie to you, I'll be struck by lightning." Lin Hezhen used a trick that every scumbag is good at - swearing.

Seeing him so decisive, Murakami Maki was a little disappointed.

"Such a charming and beautiful girl is placed in front of you, but you don't use the opportunity given to you! Forget it, let me do the micro-manipulation myself."

Seeing Murakami Maki looking very excited, Lin Hezhen immediately became alert.

"Hey, don't mess around."

"Don't worry about me, I will do the job," Murakami Maki said confidently.

The two opened the door and returned to the dining table to eat as if nothing had happened.

"Wow, this shrimp is so delicious. Mai-chan, you should eat more." Murakami Maki enthusiastically picked up some food for Sakurajima Mai, while calmly using a more intimate name.

"Thank you." Mai Sakurajima accepted everyone who came.

Now that she has magical powers to protect her, she doesn't need to worry about her figure getting out of shape, and can eat whatever she wants, which was something she could never have imagined in her more than ten years of demanding acting career.

In order to look good on camera, she has been strictly controlling her diet and almost forgot that eating is such a happy thing.

It's great to be able to meet Kazuma and learn cultivation from him...

After dinner, Murakami Maki and Hayashi Kazuma cleared the tableware and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

"Let me help too." Sakurajima Mai rolled up her sleeves and followed in.

"Eh, it's not good to let customers do these things." Murakami Maki was a little hesitant.

Sakurajima Mai insisted, "There's nothing wrong with it. Just consider it as payment for eating here. After all, I came here empty-handed, and I feel bad for eating for free."

Murakami Maki looked between Hayashi Kazuma and Sakurajima Mai, and quickly made up her mind: "Okay, Mai-chan, I'll leave it to you to wash the dishes with Kazuma."

She took off her apron and walked out of the kitchen, and before leaving she made a "come on" gesture to Lin Hezhen.

Lin Hezhen shook his head secretly, thinking that guy must have misunderstood something.

In the kitchen where only two people were, the sound of running water and the clinking of dishes could be heard one after another.

"You have a very good sister." Sakurajima Mai suddenly said.

"Thank you, but Maki is my aunt, not my sister." Lin Hezhen explained as he wiped the plate she handed over.

"Really? But the way you get along is like brother and sister. Ms. Maki also treats you as a brother."

"Mai seems to be very experienced."

"Of course, because I am the older sister and the authority." Sakurajima Mai puffed out her chest, trying to show the majesty of the eldest sister.

Lin Hezhen paused and said, "I've never heard that you have brothers or sisters. I thought you were an only child."

"She's my half-sister, the child of my father's remarriage. But my relationship with her is, how should I put it, pretty good?"

"Using a question in this situation means that even you don't believe what you say."

"It doesn't matter what. Anyway, I don't hate that child. I think she feels the same way to me."

"Mai's sister must be very cute."

"Not as cute as me." Sakurajima Mai gave him a sidelong glance.

"You are so narcissistic. You praise yourself as cute. You are the second woman like this that I have met."

"Ah, who's the other one?"

"Of course it's the Ice Queen, the second young lady Yukishita."

Sakurajima Mai pulled Lin Hezhen's cheek in dissatisfaction and said word by word: "Don't think about other women when you are alone with me."

Lin Hezhen said in pain: "Yes, yes, it's my fault, I regret it, can you let me go? It hurts so much."

Sakurajima Mai put her hand down, and Hayashi Kazuma rubbed her slightly red cheeks and complained, "Mai is so cunning. She acts like a queen in front of me, but acts like a good girl in front of Maki."

"Well, of course. I don't want to be hated by my sister."

"It's my aunt, not my sister."

"Hi hi."

Looking at the piles of tableware, Lin Hezhen sighed, "Washing dishes is such a pain. Why do I have to wash so many dishes just for a meal?"

“Really? I think it’s okay. It would be better if I had more dishes to wash so that I can spend more time with Kazuma.”

"...Ms. Mai, can you please stop teasing me? My little heart can't take it."

"No—no!" she said with a sly smile.

Chapter 71 Winning and Traveling

Outside the door, Murakami Maki, who was eavesdropping on their interaction with her ears perked up, was fed a mouthful of dog food. She retreated to the living room cursing and turned on the TV.

She was changing channels while talking to herself, "I'm so stupid, really. I only knew there was something wrong between them, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. I was worried that Xiaohe wouldn't be able to find a girlfriend, but he quietly flirted with Sakurajima Mai."

Murakami Maki was very dissatisfied and extremely unhappy with Hayashi Kazuma, the traitor who was the first to get out of being single.

I clearly told her that I had no intention of falling in love in high school, which made her worry a lot, but in the end, I was the clown?

Maybe compared to this brat, my own life-long event is more worth worrying about?

When Murakami Maki thought about the fact that she was almost 30 and still had no boyfriend, while her high school best friend's children were all having affairs, she suddenly felt that promotion and salary increase were not so attractive.

"Ah, my true love, why don't you show up yet?" Murakami Maki lamented and felt sorry for herself.

She never thought that she had to go back and forth between home and the TV station every day, often working overtime, and using her few vacation days to catch up on sleep.

This kind of lifestyle, which basically prevents her from seeing any men except her male colleagues, means that even if her true love wants to meet her, he has no chance.

By the way, she looks down on the male colleagues around her and is very disgusted with blind dates and social gatherings, which is even more terrible.

After complaining to herself for a long time, Murakami Maki could only comfort herself that her destiny had not yet arrived. One day, her ideal man would come riding on a colorful cloud to marry her. Until then, she only had to wait with hope.

After adjusting her mood, Murakami Maki tuned into the lottery draw program and took out the lottery ticket she had bought a while ago from her bag.

She bought it with her colleagues on a whim and didn't expect it to happen easily.

But since I have bought it, I might as well take a look at the lottery results so that I can give up and accept the fate of Africans.

"Dear viewers, this time the first prize number is..." The host read out loud the number displayed on the machine.

Murakami Maki widened her eyes, stared at the lottery ticket in her hand in disbelief, and her body trembled slightly.

"20 billion yen! The first prize this time is 20 billion yen! I wonder which lucky audience member will get such a huge prize?"

On TV, the host was still chattering, but Murakami Maki didn't hear a word. The only thing in her mind was the winning numbers and 20 billion yen.

"what!!!!!"

"What's wrong? What happened?" Hearing her scream, Lin Hezhen ran out without even wiping his hands.

He thought that the Onmyoji and the Kamo family had come to cause trouble again, but it turned out that only Murakami Maki was in the living room, waving a small piece of paper and screaming.

"Xiaohe, I won, I won! 20 billion yen!"

She cried and laughed, hugged Lin Hezhen, and jumped and danced like a child.

"You won the lottery, the amount is 20 billion yen?"

Lin Hezhen took the lottery ticket in her hand and checked it against the winning numbers announced on TV, and found that it was correct.

I did win the prize, the amount is 20 billion yen.

Murakami Maki suddenly got a promotion and a raise, but her workload did not increase; Sakurajima Mai, who had just made a comeback, was spotted by a big director and was about to play the leading female role in a big production.

Add to that the 20 billion yen that fell from the sky, and Hayashi Kazuma can be sure that it was all the Kamo family's doing.

Even though he had clearly rejected He Maoren's solicitation at that time, he still forced the benefits into his hands in this way.

"Okay, a sugar-coated bullet, right? Then I will eat the sugar coating and hit the bullet back, making you lose both the wife and the army." Lin Hezhen thought fiercely.

After hearing their conversation, Sakurajima Mai also came out of the kitchen and congratulated Murakami Maki.

"20 billion yen, that's almost the same as my total income after all these years of debut, it's amazing, is Maki a koi?"

After the ecstasy, Murakami Maki gradually calmed down.
