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

"That's right, young man. I tell you, you still have to join clubs. Otherwise, if you all try to be special, it will be difficult for teachers to carry out their work. Let me recommend a club to you. I guarantee you will be satisfied."

"What club?" Lin Hezhen asked.

Shizuka Hiratsuka took out an application form for admission, on which was clearly written "Service Club".

He immediately jumped up: "Huh? You might as well kill me if you let me join Yukinoshita Yukino's club!"

Who wants to go back to that place and continue to compete with Yukinoshita?

"You can't say that. Look, the Yukinoshita club doesn't have enough members and is at risk of being disbanded. As an instructor, I'm also having a headache. If you just join as a ghost member, everyone's problems will be solved, and you two can have a private space to be affectionate with each other. Isn't that wonderful?"

"Who is being affectionate with her? Teacher, please don't believe in rumors or spread them."

As Lin Hezhen spoke, he picked up the pen and wrote his name on the "Application for Entry".

Considering that the distance between him and Yukinoshita cannot exceed 10 meters now, and Yukino has to participate in club activities every day.

Even if there is no one coming for consultation, she will still read in the activity room for an hour, so Lin Hezhen has to wait for her.

It would be better to just join the club and enjoy the black tea brewed by Miss Yukinoshita in it with a clear conscience, and then go home together when the time comes.

Lin Kazuma walked out of the office and said to Yukinoshita Yukino who was waiting at the door: "Please give me more guidance in the future, Director."

"It's just a legitimate reason to keep my distance." Yukino was not surprised at all. She had already discussed this with Hiratsuka Shizuka.

The two of them came to the club classroom together. Before they had even finished their cup of tea, someone knocked on the door.

"Please come in." Xueno said loudly.

"Sorry to bother you." The person pushed open the door and walked in. It was Kato Megumi.

Chapter 105 Kato Megumi Has Seen Through

Lin Hezhen never expected that the Service Club would open today, and the person who came was his old acquaintance Kato Megumi.

You know, the Service Club was deserted at the beginning, and it had to rely on Shizuka Hiratsuka to attract customers in order to barely complete the minimum business volume required by the Student Union.

"Kato-san, please take a seat."

Yukinoshita Yukino had a good impression of Kato Megumi and took the initiative to pour her a cup of black tea.

"Thank you." Kato Megumi took the teacup and put it on the table.

"Are you here to ask us to help you increase your presence?" asked Yukino.

"Ah, well, actually, after what happened before, I don't care that much anymore. Having too much presence also brings a lot of inconveniences. If you become the focus of people's attention, you have to be careful about your words and actions. It's too tiring to live like that. Actually, as long as the people I care about notice me, it doesn't matter whether others pay attention to me or not."

Yukinoshita agreed with what Kato Megumi said.

"Kato, I'm glad you have this awareness. I think so too. As long as the people close to me understand me, it doesn't matter what others think."

After saying that, Yukino sighed.

Unfortunately, her closest family not only did not understand her, but also always went against her wishes and forced her to do things she didn't want to do.

This time, he even skipped over her as the person involved and decided her lifelong event.

All these things made Yukino's persistence seem so ridiculous, like a clown.

Although she was bathed in the bright and warm sunshine of May, she felt as if she was on the top of a snowy mountain in the bitter cold of winter.

Three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind and frost are pressing hard. The marks on the frozen face are all tears, and the sour heart without hatred also turns to ashes.

Seeing the director deep in thought, Lin Hezhen, a newly-minted member of the service department, could only ask on her behalf: "So, Kato, do you have any other requests this time?"

Kato Megumi said calmly: "Actually, I'm not here to ask for help, but to help you."

"Help us?" This answer was far beyond his expectations.

Lin Hezhen smiled: "We don't need any help."

"Are you sure?" Kato Megumi looked him straight in the eyes. "But there's something wrong with you and Yukinoshita, right? You two always go to school and go home together, even eat and go to the bathroom together, even though there's a long distance between you."

"Is it that obvious? Kato, you observe too carefully." Lin Hezhen didn't know what to say.

Ten meters is indeed not a long distance, and Lin Hezhen and Yukinoshita are quite conspicuous among their classmates, so it is easy for someone with a keen eye to discover their clues.

But no matter what, she was exposed on the second day of school. This girl, Kato Megumi, is too smart and perceptive.

"Well, it's mainly because you two are so alone, without anyone to cover for you. It's obvious that you're one in front and one behind."

Yukinoshita Yukino came to her senses and said, "It's possible that Lin is following me. Ah, this is really annoying. Should I tell the teacher?"

Lin Hezhen said unhappily, "Hey, don't make me sound like a stalker."

"Isn't it? A perverted gentleman who keeps pestering his female classmates."

"You think I do?"

"So, there must be some compelling reason for you to become like this, right?" Kato Megumi asked.

"It could also be that Yukinoshita-san's legs are so beautiful and I'm pursuing her."

"Don't expose your XP as if nothing happened!" Yukino said with a blushing face.

Kato Megumi said nonchalantly: "I don't think Lin-kun is that kind of person, and there is also Mai-senpai."

It seems that there is no way to fool people anymore.

Lin Hezhen thought about it and realized that Kato Megumi had previously experienced an incident of exchanging sense of existence with Sakurajima Mai, so she was not an outsider.

In addition, she has the word spirit that he planted in her body, so he doesn't have to worry about her leaking the secret. It's okay to tell her about the curse, and it can also help cover up for the two of them.

Thinking of this, he and Yukinoshita looked at each other and saw the other's inquiring eyes.

Lin Hezhen nodded slightly, raised his hand and cast a spell, isolating the entire club classroom from the outside world, completely eliminating eavesdropping and peeping.

In an instant, even the slogans of the sports club on the playground and the music of "Shuahuadan" by the light music section upstairs came to an abrupt end.

In the absolutely quiet space, Lin Hezhen said to Kato Megumi:

"Actually, Yukinoshita and I are under a curse. During this period of time, the physical distance between us cannot exceed ten meters, otherwise Yukinoshita's head will explode and she will die."

This bizarre statement might be a good idea for a novel, but it would be extremely absurd if applied to reality.

Fortunately, Kato Megumi had also experienced supernatural events and had done some reasoning before, so she quickly understood the current situation.

"Is it caused by a mysterious force, just like what happened between me and Mai-senpai?"

"Bingo, I got the answer right, but unfortunately there is no reward."

Yukino asked, "Is the incident that Mai-senpai experienced before related to Kato-san?"

"That's right," Lin He explained, "When Mai was stripped away, her sense of existence was transferred to Kato. It was because of Kato's cooperation that I was able to successfully resolve that incident."

"I see." Yukino nodded.

"It's not as exaggerated as Lin Jun said. In fact, I did it for myself. I want to thank Lin Jun for helping me, so I also want to do something for you this time."

"In that case, Kato, please help us cover for the school, especially Yukinoshita-san. She looks so alone and pitiful, with no one in her Line friend list." Lin Hezhen laughed.

Yukino countered, "Don't you have any friends?"

"Nonsense, Mai, Kato, and Uego Kihiko are all my friends."

"Humph, only the weak go in groups, the strong go alone."

Lin Hezhen disagreed and said, "Only when the strong stick together can they become stronger. In the world of immortal cultivation, the best resources always belong to the big sects, and the best talents are also in the big sects. Unless those lone cultivators are cheating, they will never be able to fight against the sects, and can only pick up the leftovers that the big sects don't like."

Cultivating immortals is actually a resource-intensive and knowledge-intensive industry. The best resources and the most outstanding talents have created large sects with many powerful people.

If the sect had not concentrated its resources on training Lin Hezhen, even with the automatic cultivation golden finger, he would not have become the youngest Nascent Soul cultivator in history.

"Forcing everyone to fight together? What a cruel place." Yukino commented.

"Yes, but in a way, it is fair. In the end, cultivators still have to rely on their strength to speak. If a person is strong enough to suppress all disobedience, then naturally whoever has the bigger fist will have the final say."

"The strong prey on the weak, the fittest survive, it's a very barbaric law of the jungle."

"It's so nice to suddenly feel like an ordinary person," said Kato Megumi.

"No, Kato, this world is the same, it's just that the surface work is better." Lin Hezhen shrugged.

Chapter 106: What does it feel like to be kept by a beautiful rich woman?

When Lin Hezhen got home from work in the evening and was about to say goodbye to Yukinoshita Yukino, she suddenly stopped him.

"Didn't I tell you before? I found out that Kamo Yuu will be attending a dinner party this Sunday."

"I remember, I will accompany you." Lin Hezhen naturally would not forget.

"Fine, but where are your clothes?"

"clothing?"

Yukino looked him up and down and said, "This is a high-end dinner party. Even if I get an invitation, you can't get in without an evening gown."

Lin Hezhen said helplessly: "Who would buy an evening gown? The daily clothes in my family are all casual clothes."

"It seems that I need to go out to buy some goods." Xueno pointed her right index finger at her chin and said, "Are you free this Saturday?"

"Sure, I'm free every day."

There is no need to practice or do homework, and Mai and his aunt are not around. Lin Hezhen is feeling very happy and plays games after dinner.

Look, he just got the "Old Man's Ring" and is completing a mission to marry Lani.

Melina, I'm sorry, it's mainly because she gave too much!

Not only did she give me the same couple outfit, but she also gave me the Moonlight Greatsword and the Dark Moon Spell… Most importantly, she actually called me “darling”!

By the way, a friendly reminder to all the Elden kings, please dress like a human being before the cutscenes. Otherwise, when you put the ring on your wife, you'll be so embarrassed by your silly figure that you'll wish you could dig out a three-bedroom, two-living-room house with your feet.

"Okay then, let's meet in Ginza at 8am on Saturday."

Lin Hezhen complained: "Miss, do you have any common sense? Which shopping mall opens at 8 o'clock? Besides, it's Saturday, but the gathering time is at 8 o'clock. No wonder you have no friends. Which young people nowadays don't sleep in on the weekends?"

"Humph, I just haven't gone shopping with my friends, what's wrong with that?" Yukino said angrily, "Does going shopping together make us friends? Then the existence of friends is too cheap."

"Oh, yes, yes, you are right. Let's meet at 9:, and then we will go to Ginza together."

"Okay." Yukino said, then turned around and went back into her apartment.

"Wait," Lin Hezhen stopped her again, "You haven't given me your real line number yet."

"Oh, do you want it so much? My line number." Yukino put her right fist under her chin and her left hand under her right elbow, with a playful expression on her face.

"It's just to facilitate communication, don't get me wrong." Lin Hezhen waved his hand, and the pen jumped out automatically and wrote on the paper.

"This is from me. Here you are. Don't contact me unless necessary." He handed the note to Yukinoshita and considerately helped her close the door.

"This damn guy." Yukino stomped her feet angrily.

After returning home, Lin Hezhen used yesterday's leftovers, beat two eggs, cut a handful of green onions and a sausage, and made a simple glowing golden egg fried rice. After eating, he continued his journey to Elden.

……

On Saturday, Lin Hezhen had a leisurely breakfast and practiced swordsmanship for a while.

Seeing that it was almost time, he put on jeans, a white T-shirt, and a baseball jacket, used the "styling technique" to tidy up his hair, and pushed open the door at the right time.

"You're late." Yukinoshita Yukino was already waiting there.

She is a punctual person and must have been waiting at the door more than ten minutes in advance.

"Where? I arrived on time, accurate to the second. As for you, since you came early, you could have knocked on the door and come in to sit down. Why are you standing by the door?"

"I'm afraid that I might be in danger after entering." Yukino deliberately crossed her arms in front of her chest to protect it.

She dressed very differently today than she usually does at school.

Her long, straight, black hair was braided into two pigtails, hanging on her shoulders.

She was wearing a white dress with a pink thin shirt over it, a small white bag on her shoulder, a wide-brimmed sun hat on her head, and a thin necklace around her snow-white, slender neck.

This outfit complements her intellectual and literary girl temperament, making her look very elegant.

"How should I put it? If I don't look at your breasts, you are indeed a little dangerous."

The white bag hit Lin Hezhen hard, and Xue Noi defended herself with the force of a raging wave:

"You can't determine a person's value based on physical features, and even if you want to use this evaluation method, you should adopt a more representative evaluation standard, so it is generally correct to use the average value of the entire population as a reference."

"Okay, okay, I get it. It's just a pair of Aces."
