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

"I didn't realize that Lin is quite good at joking." Xueno said, covering her mouth.

"You're so short-sighted that you still can't tell after just a month of getting along. I'm here to travel with my aunt." Lin Hezhen pointed his chin towards the counter.

Yukinoshita Yukino noticed Murakami Maki and Sakurajima Mai who were checking in. At this moment, Sakurajima Mai was looking at this side with a friendly smile on her face.

"That girl can't be your aunt, right?" Yukinoshita Yukino vaguely felt a sense of hostility emanating from the other party.

Due to the vague effect of the talisman, she did not recognize Sakurajima Mai.

"Well, that one can be considered as my younger sister." Lin Hezhen said uncertainly.

Junior sister is still a younger sister, there is nothing wrong with that.

"So that's it? That's a classic scumbag's statement." Yukinoshita Yukino glared at Hayashi Kazuma with contempt.

Lin Hezhen quickly explained: "Don't let your imagination run wild. She and I are really just brother and sister."

"I have no interest in Lin's private life, nor do I want to know how many good sisters you have. But I advise you to go over quickly. They have already checked in and are waving at you."

Lin Hezhen turned his head and saw that Murakami Maki was waving at him frantically.

"Then goodbye, the unlovable Yukinoshita-san."

"Goodbye, classmate Lemon Juice with poor eyesight."

"Hey, you called me by the wrong name on purpose, didn't you? How childish are you to give someone a nickname? How petty are you?"

Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her lips and said, "If I remember correctly, it was someone who first said that I was short-sighted, right?"

"You were the first one to say I looked like a waiter."

"You look down on waiters? Waiters are also glorious workers. Compared to the rentier class like vampires, I think they are more respectable because they support themselves through labor."

"I have to agree with this point. I'm leaving now, Yukinoshita-san." Lin Kazuma said goodbye.

"Goodbye, Lin, I wish you and your family a pleasant journey." When the word "family" was mentioned, Xueno's face showed a subtle expression.

"You too, Yukinoshita-san, I hope you and your family have a great time."

"Thank you for your good wishes. Goodbye." Xueno left gracefully.

After saying goodbye to Yukinoshita Yukino, Hayashi Kazuma shrugged and returned to Murakami Maki.

"Xiaohe, who is that girl? She's wearing an evening dress, so beautiful." Murakami Maki asked suspiciously.

Lin Hezhen didn't want to say more: "He's just a classmate. Senior Mai should know."

Mai Sakurajima nodded: "Yes, Yukinoshita Yukino, a second-year student in the same school, the daughter of a county councillor and one of the three most beautiful girls in the school."

By the way, according to the results of this year's "Miss Academy" voting, the school's top three beauties are Yukinoshita Yukino, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Kato Megumi, and Sakurajima Mai.

It is an old tradition that there are four of the three most beautiful girls in the school.

Murakami Maki pulled Lin Hezhen aside and asked quietly, "It seems like you two have a good relationship. Is she your girlfriend? No wonder you refused to accept Mai-chan. It turns out you already have a beautiful girl lover. That makes sense."

Lin Hezhen curled his lips and said, "Let her be my girlfriend? Why don't you kill me? Don't let your imagination run wild. She's just an ordinary classmate."

……

On the other hand, after Yukinoshita Yukino had her argument with Hayashi Kazuma, her mood, which had been depressed due to attending the boring cocktail party, actually became much more relaxed.

She decided to do more of this kind of beneficial recreational activities in the future.

Just as Yukinoshita Yukino was hesitating whether to return to the party venue, a bright and enthusiastic girl came in front of her like a butterfly among flowers.

"Hello, why are you here, Yukino? I couldn't find you anywhere at the party. I see you've hidden outside."

"Sister..." Yukinoshita Yukino's expression suddenly became gloomy.

Chapter 74 Marriage

This is not good. She actually met the person she least wanted to meet. Could she have seen Lin Hezhen?

No way, I can’t be so unlucky?

Yukinoshita Yukino's heart was in turmoil, but she remained calm and said, "I just came out to get some fresh air. I'll be back soon."

She walked towards the venue.

"Don't be so anxious."

The playful voice of her elder sister, Yukinoshita Haruno, came from behind: "Why don't you introduce the boy just now to your elder sister?"

Xue Noi stopped and asked in a hoarse voice: "What do you want to do?"

Yukinoshita Haruno tilted her head and pretended to be cute and said, "Sister, I just want to meet Yukino's friend. That boy is quite handsome. Is he Yukino's boyfriend?"

She asked excitedly, stepping closer and closer to corner Yukinoshita Yukino.

Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to be stared at by Medusa, and was petrified bit by bit from head to toe.

"He's just an ordinary classmate..." She explained weakly in a trembling voice.

"I see," Yukinoshita Haruno nodded.

"This is the first time I've met an ordinary classmate who can chat with Yukino for so long. Do you want to go over and say hello?"

Yukinoshita Haruno teased her with evil intentions, playing with her sister's mind with words, and looking at her embarrassed expression, she was enjoying herself like a pleasure criminal.

"Please don't disturb others!" Yukinoshita Yukino rarely exploded.

"He's just here for a family trip, and he seems to already have a girlfriend..."

"Is that so?" Yukinoshita Haruno was stunned.

She didn't expect that her sister, who always endured and retreated, would get so angry for that boy.

She, who had originally not cared much about it, suddenly developed a strong interest in Lin Hezhen.

"Hehe, in that case, follow me back to the venue. Mother is looking for you everywhere. She has something to tell you."

Hearing the word "Mother", Yukinoshita Yukino's thin shoulders trembled slightly.

She instinctively felt that something very bad was going to happen next, but she was powerless to resist.

She was like a prisoner heading to the execution ground, being escorted by her sister Yang Nai towards her destiny.

In a quiet room in the corner of the venue, Yukinoshita Yukino's parents were waiting there.

At the same time, there was a bald middle-aged man sitting in the main seat, talking to the two people.

"Mother, I brought Yukino here."

Yukinoshita Haruno changed her previous image of a little devil and bowed to the few people in a proper manner, just like Yamato Nadeshiko who came from an old aristocratic family.

The charming mother Yukinoshita took her second daughter's hand and said to the middle-aged man, "Mr. Kamo, this is my daughter Yukino, look?"

Mr. He Mao narrowed his eyes, looked up and down at Yukino, and praised: "Very good, your daughter is beautiful and talented. I'm sure my master and the young master will be very satisfied."

After hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino felt a chill all over her body and her entire body stiffened.

Who is Mr. Kamo? Who are his master and his son? Why do they say they are satisfied with me? What do they want to do?

Yukinoshita Yukino instinctively wanted to escape, but her hands were held tightly by her mother.

"In that case, it's settled. Madam Yukinoshita, this is a clone of our clan's most precious treasure, the True Sutra Mirror. I'll give it to Miss Yukinoshita Yukino as a token of trust. Please always carry it with you. Once you are more than 10 meters away from the clone of the mirror, something bad will happen."

The bald uncle handed over an exquisite small wooden box, which contained a coin-sized antique bronze mirror wrapped in silk and strung with a platinum necklace.

Xueno looked at the bronze mirror and felt dazed, as if something in her blood was being attracted to it. At the same time, noisy mumblings rang in her ears, making her feel irritated.

"Yukino!" Mrs. Yukinoshita stared at her with sharp eyes, urging her to act quickly.

Yukinoshita Yukino took the small wooden box with a pale face and said reluctantly, "Thank you."

"What an elegant ornament! Come here, Yukino, let mommy put it on you." Mrs. Yukinoshita immediately hung the bronze mirror around Yukino's neck.

The bronze mirror touched her skin, and the biting coldness made her shudder, as if it was not a decoration at all, but a noose for execution.

The bald uncle stood up with a smile on his face and said, "I won't delay you any longer now that this matter is settled. Mr. Yukinoshita, Mrs. Yukinoshita, just wait for good news."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he left the quiet room.

As soon as he left, Yukinoshita Haruno asked first: "Father, Mother, what's going on? What are you going to do to Yukino?"

She knew Mr. Kamo and knew that he came from a large family at the top of the island country, but she didn't expect that her parents had already negotiated a deal with the other party, which was related to Yukino.

"What do you mean by 'what to do to Yukino'? That's really harsh. Yukino is our beloved daughter too. We won't harm her."

Mrs. Yukinoshita took Yukino's right hand and said to her with a smile: "Don't worry, it's a good thing. The sixth son of the Kamo family, Kamo Yuu, has chosen Yukino as his wife and has specially asked someone to give the betrothal gifts. The wedding will be held after you graduate from high school. The Kamo family is a wealthy family that has been passed down for thousands of years. Now it has amazing power in the military and political circles. It is our honor to be able to marry into their family."

Yukinoshita Yukino tried her best to pull her right hand out of her mother's hand little by little.

She said angrily: "What Kamo Yu, I have never seen this before! You sold me to someone else so easily without considering my feelings at all, are you really my parents?"

She screamed in despair and fled from the place.

"Where are you going? Stop right there!" Mrs. Yukinoshita had a gloomy face.

She said to Yukinoshita Haruno, "Go and bring your sister back. How can a daughter talk back to her parents like this?"

Yukinoshita Haruno, who was always well-behaved and obedient, did not move. Instead, she frowned and asked, "What conditions did Mr. Kamo agree to for you to let Yukino marry him?"

Mr. Yukinoshita glanced at his wife's face and said carefully, "He agreed to help me run for governor of Chiya County and promised that he would be elected next year."

There are a total of 47 first-level administrative regions in the island country. To be elected as the governor of Chiya Prefecture means to become one of the heads of these 47 administrative regions.

Such heavyweight chips are indeed very attractive to an emerging family like the Yukinoshita family, which started out in the construction industry and entered politics from business.

Yukinoshita Haruno asked again: "Have you seen that Kamo Yuu? What kind of person is he?"

Seeing that his wife did not stop him, Mr. Yukinoshita spoke much more freely.

He said: "We met once at a banquet at Kamo's house. He is 20 years old and studies at Toudou University. He is handsome and has an extraordinary demeanor. He is a rare young talent."

"Only met once?" Yukinoshita Haruno frowned.

Mrs. Yukinoshita couldn't help but interrupt, "Yono, those big families have almost no intersection with our circle, it's good enough to meet them once. Kamo Yuu is outstanding in all aspects and has a good family background. Yukino is marrying him to enjoy a good life, what's wrong with that?"

Yukinoshita Haruno sighed and said, "I'm afraid that Yukino doesn't like this kind of big family. You know, she hates those traditional etiquettes the most."

Chapter 75 I am such a fool!

Xueno hates traditional ethics and the constraints of rules and regulations, and is unwilling to put on a hypocritical mask and deal with beasts in human clothing.

Her parents were of course aware of these things. However, they still made a decision against Yukino's wishes.

There's no way, the Kamo family gave too much.

Even though Mr. Yukinoshita is already a county councilor, it seems that he is not far from the position of county governor.

In fact, as a new family with shallow roots in politics, Mr. Yukinoshita probably would never be able to sit in that position even if he worked hard all his life.

In addition to inducement, the Kamo family's style of doing things is also full of tyranny and finality, which a small family like the Yukinoshita family cannot refuse at all.

"Alas," Mr. Yukinoshita sighed and said, "Last year, the Mizuno family in Saga Prefecture refused to marry their daughter to the fifth son of the Kamo family. Three months later, the mansion caught fire and the whole family was killed."

Yukinoshita Haruno's face turned pale and she asked, "Is that revenge from the Kamo family?"

Mr. Yukinoshita shook his head and said, "The official investigation concluded that it was an accident, but when something like this happens, it's hard not to have other associations."

Yukinoshita Yono was speechless.

She had long heard of the tyranny of the island nation's top wealthy families, but she had not expected the Kamo family to be so arrogant that they would kill an entire family at the slightest sign of disobedience.

This method is really terrifying, no wonder parents dare not disobey.

However, when she thought of Yukinoshita Haruno's pale face, her heart tightened.

Her sister would probably rather die than marry a man with whom she has no emotional foundation.

Even if Yukino knew about the cruel methods of the Kamo family and married in humiliation for the lives of her family, Yangno did not want to see her lose the smile on her face and spend her days like years in the deep courtyard of a wealthy family.

Yukinoshita Haruno took a deep breath and said slowly: "Did the Kamo family only designate our daughter? Can I replace Yukino-chan?"

She thought very clearly that as the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, she definitely had no autonomy in her marriage.

Rather than forcing Yukino to sacrifice her lifelong happiness, it is better to let her complete this political marriage.

"At least, I want Yukino to be happy..." she thought sadly.

"Alas——" Another long sigh.

Mr. Yukinoshita closed his eyes and said helplessly, "No, the other party specifically designated Yukino. It was because of her that they agreed to marry into a small family like ours. It's really strange, what do they like about Yukino?"
