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

"Bah, who would believe you!"

"Think about it, Yukinoshita is cold, sharp-tongued, arrogant, narcissistic, not cute at all, and has a flat chest. How could I choose her over the beautiful, kind, gentle and intelligent Mai?"

"What a smooth talker!" Miss Mai burst into laughter when she heard that.

"You can only say sweet words to coax me. Later I want to hear the details of the curse from you. If you can't tell me, I won't let you go."

Mai wiped her tears and left quickly, afraid that Lin Hezhen would see her blushing face.

After dealing with Mai, Lin Hezhen breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a cold voice like the whistling north wind came from behind him: "It's great to have such a beautiful, kind, gentle and intelligent 'sister'. Unlike me, I am cold, sharp-tongued, arrogant, narcissistic, not cute at all, and I have a flat chest!"

Lin Kazuma turned around like a rusty robot and met the angry eyes of Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Ms. Yukinoshita, eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not something a lady should do."

"I don't want to hear people talking bad about me behind my back, but unfortunately, I can't be too far away from you now."

"Actually, I can explain..."

"You should leave your explanation to your 'good sister'. How can a girl like me who is 'cold, sharp-tongued, arrogant, narcissistic, not cute at all, and flat-chested' be worthy of listening to your explanation?"

She repeated Lin Hezhen's evaluation of her twice without missing a word, and seemed quite angry.

Yukino glared at Lin Hezhen and walked away quickly, as if she would be infected with the Corona virus if she walked a step slower.

Lin Hezhen stood there and watched the two people leave. He felt the admiring or contemptuous gazes from the people around him, and for some reason he felt a stomachache.

More than ten meters away, next to the beverage machine, Murakami Maki witnessed this Shura scene and gave her nephew a thumbs up.

She murmured to herself, "I originally thought that Xiaohe would become a shut-in and live out his life in loneliness, so I was prepared to support him for the rest of his life, but I didn't expect that he would hook up with two beautiful girls in such a short time. Ah, after three days of absence, one should look at others with new eyes, is this what it means?"

On the other side, at the entrance of the restaurant, Yukinoshita Haruno peeked in and took in the whole scene.

"When did Yukino become so close to a boy? What is their relationship? Are the socks I saw before that boy's?" Many little question marks popped up above her head.

"I can't worry about that for now. The focus now is on Onmyoji and monsters. It seems that Xiaoxue has obtained a lot of information that I don't even know. Who exactly is the Kamo family? We must investigate thoroughly."

Chapter 85 Her Tenderness

Although Yukinoshita Haruno likes to tease her sister, she is essentially a sister-con and will not watch her sister being pushed into the fire pit.

The Kamo family is powerful and domineering, and her parents dare not disobey them, so they have to do it themselves. It is not her style to lie down and admit defeat without doing anything.

"Mom and Dad still feel guilty about Yuki, so they readily agreed to let her go free for the next two years. But if the engagement cannot be cancelled within two years, Yuki will have to marry into the Kamo family. We must hurry up, for the sake of my lovely sister, I will show my true abilities for the first time in a long time."

She looked deeply at Yukino's back, turned around and left the restaurant. The pretended friendly smile was no longer on her face, but a coldness as cold as Yukino's.

The Eight-sided Beauty Yukinoshita Haruno disappeared, and in her place came the Thousand Nights Tyrant Yukinoshita Haruno, who rushed to her battlefield in a hurry with full of anger and determination.

On the other side, after Lin Hezhen and his group finished their breakfast, they got into the car rented by Murakami Maki and headed for their destination loaded with camping equipment.

As soon as she got in the car, Yukinoshita Yukino grabbed the passenger seat, fastened her seat belt, and said to Murakami Maki in the driver's seat: "Ms. Murakami, please give me your guidance."

After the Shura Field incident at the restaurant, Yukino was furious with Hayashi Kazuma.

She didn't want to stare at Lin Hezhen in the back row, nor did she want to be awkwardly confronted with his "mai sister", so she simply chose the front row.

"You're welcome, Yukino-chan, just call me Maki-san. It's great to have another cute girl traveling with us. Let's go!"

Murakami Maki stepped on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle suddenly jumped out and drove flexibly into the traffic.

In the spacious back row, Lin Hezhen looked at Sakurajima Mai and smiled awkwardly: "Did Mai sleep well last night?"

"It's OK, but I sent you a video tonight, why didn't you answer it?"

When Mai Sakurajima first entered the Immortal Sect, she needed Lin Hezhen’s instruction on many key points of cultivation.

In order to hide it from Murakami Maki, a "Muggle", they agreed before the trip to provide guidance via video in the evening.

But Lin Kazuma was in Yukinoshita Yukino's room last night, so how could he answer her video? He could only stand up Sakurajima Mai.

She couldn't know about this, so Lin Hezhen lied and said, "Sorry, I was busy playing games last night and there was a big boss that I couldn't defeat."

This is the "secret code" they have agreed upon, using the game to refer to cultivation, and using BOSS to refer to the bottleneck encountered in cultivation.

"I see. You can't be so obsessed with playing games that you forget to eat and sleep. You still need to take care of your health." Sakurajima Mai thought he was a crazy cultivator and gave him some kind advice.

Poor girl, she had no idea that Lin Hezhen had a golden finger that allowed him to practice without any control. Now she didn’t even have to do the body building herself, the skills would run automatically.

Moreover, Lin Hezhen himself was a re-cultivator and had no bottleneck in cultivation before the Nascent Soul stage.

Lin Hezhen's face turned red, and he lowered his head and said, "I see. Thank you for your concern."

This scene is like a boyfriend playing games in an Internet cafe all night long, while his girlfriend brings him midnight snacks. It is enough to make headlines and make countless single people envious.

However, to women's ears, it has a completely different meaning.

You have such an understanding girlfriend, but you don’t cherish her and are addicted to playing games. You really don’t know how lucky you are!

"You're really worthy of being called Lin and Fungi." Yukinoshita Yukino sneered without even turning her head.

Hello, why didn’t I answer her video call yesterday? Are you confused?

Lin Hezhen glared back at her fiercely.

"Xiao He, you should reply to other people's messages in time. If you didn't receive a video, you should call back immediately. If you really can't get away, you should send a message to explain. This is basic courtesy!" Murakami Maki looked disappointed.

I thought this nephew had finally come to his senses, but he ended up doing something so straight-forward.

I gave you a chance but you didn't use it. Do you want to live alone forever? Didn't you see that Yukino-chan's favorability towards you has decreased?

"Ah, it's okay, I don't mind. After all, how can I be more important than the game?"

Mai Sakurajima seemed to be trying to excuse him, but in fact she was adding fuel to the fire. She portrayed the aggrieved, weak and yet pretending to be strong look just right, which made me feel pity for her.

It seems that she is not without resentment about this.

"Hmph, how can games be as fun as those for women?" Lin Hezhen muttered in a low voice.

"Okay, okay, I get it. Auntie, just drive carefully. Didn't you see that the green light was on? The car behind you kept honking its horn." Lin Hezhen said with a pout.

He never thought that a pleasant trip would turn out like this. What went wrong?

Covering his mouth and yawning, Lin Hezhen decided to take a nap. Escape was shameful but useful. Only sleep could save him now.

……

“Kazuma-kun, Kazuma-kun, wake up, we’re almost there.”

"Mai?" Lin Hezhen slowly opened his eyes.

What caught my eye was the silky, black, and smooth hair, hanging down like a willow tree in April, covering Sakurajima Mai's gracefully curvy white neck.

They were so close that he could smell the subtle fragrance coming from her hair.

Just like the shooting stars in the summer night and the plum blossoms after the snow, at the right time and in the right place, I smelled the perfect scent of shampoo.

Lin Hezhen woke up instantly. He sat up straight and felt the soft touch of Sakurajima Mai's shoulder on his cheek.

"You should have woken me up." He said calmly.

"You are very tired. It's okay to sleep a little longer." She replied with a smile.

Lin Hezhen was a little annoyed. He actually didn't sleep last night. He was always on guard against the monster to make a surprise attack. As a result, he relaxed in the car and slept so soundly that he didn't notice when he leaned on Mai.

And what I said in the restaurant this morning was just like a euphemism for confession, which was too easy to be misunderstood.

Looking at Mai's gentle smile, he felt heavy in his heart.

I had clearly made up my mind to reject her, but I kept giving her hope and coveting her tenderness. When did I become so despicable?

Looks like I have to distance myself from Mai.

Lin Hezhen thought so and took a look at the situation in the front row.

Murakami Maki was driving without looking around, and Yukinoshita Yukino was sleeping soundly leaning against the window. They should not have seen what happened just now, right?

Just as he was thinking this, his eyes met Murakami Maki in the rearview mirror, and she gave him a teasing smile.

Well, Murphy's Law is not absent today, which is really cause for celebration.

The car turned several corners on the winding mountain road, and after coming out of the endless mountains and forests, the view in front of us suddenly opened up.

Facing you is a vast, flat grassland connected to a clear, sparkling freshwater lake. In the distance, charming green mountains are reflected in the lake, like a group of young girls dressing themselves in front of a mirror.

On the grass, beside the Mirror Lake, on the green hills, beside the road... everywhere you can see large patches of blooming mountain cherry blossoms.

They bloom passionately and wantonly, as if they want to burn their own lives to the fullest in these few short days of flowering.

"It's so beautiful." Yukinoshita Yukino woke up at some point and was staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

Chapter 86 Want to have two relationships at the same time? You are really brave

"Hello, I'm Murakami, who made an appointment."

"We booked camping for the day."

"Yes."

"Please register your name and contact information here. The end time is tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. You can use the firewood in the forest as you like."

"Ok."

After completing the formalities at the mountain inn, Murakami Maki went out and stretched, then pointed to the lake and said excitedly: "Yoshi, spring camping, let's go!"

"Oh." Lin Hezhen echoed lacklusterly.

"Boys over there, quickly move the luggage off the car and find a place to pitch the tent." Murakami Maki gave the orders, like a class teacher arranging work for students.

"Then what are you doing?"

"We, of course, are responsible for taking pictures."

Murakami Maki smiled slyly, took out a selfie stick and pointed it at the camera and took a few photos.

"Really." Lin Hezhen shook his head and walked towards the trunk of the car.

Mai Sakurajima came over and said, "I'll help too."

"Ah, no need. I can do it alone. You go and have fun." Lin Hezhen waved his hand.

He had already made up his mind in the car to distance himself from Mai Sakurajima, and now he began to put it into action.

Mai Sakurajima was stunned. She felt that the person in front of her had become so strange. There was a sense of alienation in her every move. Did she do something wrong?

"There is too much luggage. You carry the heavy things and we can carry the light things." Yukinoshita Yukino walked over.

She put on a backpack, picked up some food, and followed Murakami Maki towards the lake.

"Wait for me." Lin Hezhen chased after her with a lot of bags.

Mai Sakurajima stared at the two people's receding backs, biting her lower lip lightly, wondering what she was thinking.

Yukino and Lin Kazuma were walking one after the other, only about one meter apart.

"Hey, what's going on? Did you have a fight with your girlfriend?" she asked suddenly.

"No, you're overthinking it, and Mai is not my girlfriend."

"Hmph, whatever happens, just don't drag me into your complicated relationship. I don't want to be mistaken for a third party."

"You think this is a melodramatic soap opera? A third party? Look at you, do you look like someone who would steal a man? If you and a girl like the same guy, I guess you would probably try to help the other person."

"Well, I can't deny it. But even if it's me, if I really meet my destined person, I won't let go easily. It's not impossible for me to muster up the courage to confess."

Lin Hezhen was silent.

The real thing is like the golden apple. Even the goddess of wisdom Athena cannot resist its temptation and she even goes to war with several other goddesses to fight for it.

Coming to the grass by the lake, Lin Hezhen chose a flat piece of ground sheltered from the wind and began to pitch the tent.

After setting up the tent, he realized that the tent was not big enough for four people to sleep in. It was not suitable for a boy like him to squeeze in one tent with three single girls.

"Hey, where should I sleep tonight?" he asked.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I forgot to prepare your tent. You can go to the mountain inn and rent a single tent. By the way, bring a few lounge chairs. I'm so tired from walking. I really want to lie down right away." Murakami Maki said with an "apology" look on her face.

"Woman, you complain of being tired after walking such a short distance. When we go shopping, I think you can walk better than anyone else." Lin Hezhen complained unhappily.

"Well, Yukino and I will go rent a tent and a lounge chair, and you and Mai will go to the woods to pick up some dry branches to start a fire."

After saying that, Lin Hezhen winked at Xueno, and the two of them walked towards the mountain inn.

Looking at the two of them walking side by side and Sakurajima Mai's slightly lonely expression, Murakami Maki blinked her eyes. As an entertainment reporter, she smelled the scent of a love triangle.
