I just wanted to become an immortal and was forced to open a harem

"You didn't have dinner? I made Italian mushroom risotto for you."

Lin Hezhen held a plate, put his hand on the railing, and turned to Shinomiya Kaguya's house.

"Eat it while it's hot. This is one of my best dishes. When it comes out of the pan, it's really radiant and fragrant. My cats and dogs are crying with greed."

Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help laughing when she heard his exaggerated description.

"What's your description? It doesn't matter if the fragrance spreads ten miles away, how can any food shine so brightly?"

"How do you know? There are even immortal cultivators and monsters in this world. A few glowing dishes must not be a big deal."

"That's right." Shinomiya Kaguya took the dinner plate.

The stomach, which was originally not very appetizing, was suddenly awakened by the stimulation of the fragrance.

She picked up a spoon, scooped out a spoonful of mushroom risotto, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly.

The refreshing mushroom soup melts in your mouth with the slightly sweet rice grains. It has the rich taste of mushroom and chicken soup, mixed with the aroma of truffle and beef, which is endless aftertaste.

"Hmm... delicious." Shinomiya Kaguya narrowed her eyes and couldn't help but praise.

Lin Hezhen smiled and said, "As long as you like it. Now that you live alone, you have to pay attention to your diet and rest routine, and don't ruin your body."

Hearing this, Shinomiya Kaguya's eating movements stiffened instantly.

"You know? She came to see you?"

Shinomiya Kaguya could no longer say Hayasaka Ai's name smoothly. Every time the word came to her throat, she would feel a burst of physical discomfort, so she could only refer to her as "her".

Lin Hezhen hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "Well, Hayasaka Ai said goodbye to me just now, and she asked me to take good care of you."

"You really listen to her." Shinomiya Kaguya immediately lost her appetite.

She pushed the plate into Lin Hezhen's hand, turned around and walked into the house.

"I didn't listen to her, I was worried about you." Lin Hezhen followed.

"No one in the world can tell me what to do, but I know there's a girl who needs me right now, so here I am."

"What are you doing here? Do you want to see my joke?" Shinomiya Kaguya still didn't calm down.

"Who dares to laugh at you? Let me beat him to death!"

"Ha!" Shinomiya Kaguya was happy, "What if I said that the guy who bullied me and made fun of me was called Hayashi Kazuma?"

Lin Hezhen frowned and said thoughtfully, "Then I'll catch him for you and let you vent your anger."

Shinomiya Kaguya smiled and raised her head.

"Okay, then I won't beat him or scold him, I will only punish him so that he can't go anywhere else and can only stay with me; there is no one else in his eyes, he can only look at me; he can no longer hold the sun and the moon in his heart. Stars, only the days and nights spent with me...is this okay?"

Her red eyes shone with stubbornness, as if she wanted to see into Lin Hezhen's heart.

Lin Hezhen shook his head: "I have my own things to do."

Shinomiya Kaguya gritted her teeth: "What if the person begging you is Hayasaka Ai?"

"Then I will reply in the same way."

"What if it's Mai Sakurajima or Yukinoshita Yukino?"

"The results will be no different."

Shinomiya Kaguya was stunned: "Why? Because you don't like anyone? Then who do you like?"

Lin Hezhen sighed softly: "It's not a question of whether you like it or not. I said, I have my own things to do."

Shinomiya Kaguya frowned: "Haasaka kissed you."

"Yeah." This is an undeniable fact.

"I... kissed you too." Shinomiya Kaguya felt that her heart was trembling when she said these words.

"I remember."

"Even so, you are indifferent?" Shinomiya Kaguya was about to cry. She turned her back and raised her head desperately to prevent the tears from falling.

Lin Hezhen sighed.

"You can't jump out of this world because you don't know how big the world is. Once you know it, you are beyond it. Give me your hand and let me take you to see the real world."

"The real world?" Shinomiya Kaguya hesitated, but finally stretched out his right hand and handed it into Lin Hezhen's palm.

"rise!"

Lin Hezhen shouted softly, and a cloud that looked like a substance suddenly appeared at the feet of the two of them, carrying them steadily from the balcony to the sky.

"Is this the legendary Soaring Clouds and Mist?"

Shinomiya Kaguya squatted down and touched the solid clouds, watching the surrounding scenery passing by rapidly, and the buildings on the ground getting smaller and smaller, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Although she had seen a lot, she was still stunned by the unimaginable sight before her.

This is not a flight, but two living people, making flesh and blood fly into the clouds without any external force.

High in the sky, there is a void higher than the clouds. The temperature here is extremely low, the air is thin, and the air pressure is very different from the ground.

Ordinary people would have little chance of survival in this environment without special equipment.

Lin Hezhen and Shinomiya Kaguya were covered with a pale golden translucent light mask, and they moved around like normal people without feeling any physical discomfort.

"Disperse!"

Lin Hezhen waved his hand to disperse the white clouds in the sky, revealing the true face of mountains, rivers, land, and oceans.

A chain of islands prostrates like a sleeping whale in the sea.

Not far away from it, the vast and vast continent extends all the way to the west and north, majestic and majestic, like a giant beast swallowing the sky and the earth.

Those mountains are rolling and undulating, like giant dragons coiling around, and the rivers are meandering like waterfalls falling from the sky.

The waves are roaring, the blue water is magnificent... mountains, rivers, seas, cities, all appear before your eyes.

"Look, this is the blue star you live in." Lin Hezhen pointed to the lower world with his finger.

"You guys?" Shinomiya Kaguya turned her head to look at Lin Hezhen.

But I saw that his eyes were deep, his expression was indifferent, and his face was expressionless, as if he had long been accustomed to this feeling of being aloof and looking down on all living beings.

"Yes, this is the world, a huge cage, and you are all trapped animals in that cage."

“If the body is the prison of the soul, then the world is the prison of the body.”

"You can't see the truth when you are in a cage. Only by jumping out of the cage can you be free and at ease. Can you understand this truth?"

Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help but shudder.

There were stars in the sky above her head, changing clouds around her, and the vast land beneath her feet. The scenery that should have been as beautiful as a fairyland made her feel cold all over.

"So, cultivating immortality means jumping out of the world and the prison?" Shinomiya Kaguya asked in a trembling voice.

"Not bad." Lin Hezhen nodded.

"Me and Hayasaka, as well as Sakurajima Mai, Yukinoshita Yukino and the others, are all in this world, and you want to jump out of the world and get rid of us?"

Lin Hezhen turned his head: "You have also embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, and sooner or later you will face this day."

Shinomiya Kaguya lowered his head and remained speechless.

The cold wind blew, and the clouds around me gathered and dispersed, dispersed and gathered again, just like the fate between people, meeting lightly and saying farewell lightly.

She always lowered her head, her eyes emitting a faint light behind the gaps in her hair. No one knew what she was thinking at the moment.

"It's getting cold, let's go back."

Lin Hezhen directed the clouds to fall into the world.

The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to ordinary people's hearts, but they cannot soothe the cultivators' desire to seek immortality.

The two landed on the balcony of Shinomiya Kaguya's house again.

"You'd better eat your food first, it will get cold later."

Lin Hezhen reheated the mushroom risotto and brought it to Shinomiya Kaguya.

"I won't eat unless you feed me with your own hands." Shinomiya Kaguya turned her head to the side.

"Stop being willful." Lin Hezhen said helplessly.

"I am not willful. You said so yourself. Before Hayasaka leaves, I entrust you to take good care of me."

"She didn't ask me to feed you."

Shinomiya Kaguya's eyes suddenly turned red.

"You said we were friends. Isn't the relationship between us worth even letting you feed me a mouthful of food?"

She reached out and grabbed Lin Hezhen's hand, put the spoon between her fingers, scooped up a spoonful of rice, and put it into her mouth.

Lin Hezhen wanted to withdraw his hand, but one drop after another, crystal tears rolled down Shinomiya Kaguya's cheeks, some smashed into the bowl, and some dripped on the back of his hand.

She just cried silently, mechanically feeding rice into her mouth one bite after another.

"Alas." Lin Hezhen sighed.

With her hand still free to move, she took out a piece of paper from the tissue box next to her and wiped away her tears.

"I won't thank you." The girl said angrily.

"Well, I don't need thanks."

The meal was finished in this weird atmosphere.

Lin Hezhen cleared the dishes and returned to his home.

Shinomiya Kaguya stared at his back with unwillingness written on her face.

"Lin Hezhen, I'm very stubborn. Once I identify someone, I won't let go easily."

"There are many things I can't do, but whatever I want to do, I have to do it no matter what method I use!" she said to herself.

Many people once said that she was like Princess Kaguya from the Moon Palace, cold and heartless, mysterious and beautiful.

But now, she feels like a mortal who is pursuing Kaguya, and Lin Hezhen is the banished immortal from the moon. She is in the mortal world, but her heart is in the sky, thinking about going back all the time.

"Don't even think about getting rid of me like this! Even if you are going to ascend to heaven and return to the moon one day, I will drag you down!" She secretly swore in her heart.

Chapter 238 Not every insect likes to endure hardships

Lin Hezhen jumped back to the balcony of his home gently.

The island country is a country prone to natural disasters, and its long-term efforts to fight against and prevent disasters have made people pay special attention to the fire safety of their houses.

In order to ensure the rapid evacuation of people in a limited space, most apartment balconies in island countries are open, without any closing facilities, and anti-theft nets are not allowed.

Neighbors are not separated by a "wall", but by a layer of plastic board only 5 mm thick.

Once a fire breaks out, residents can run to the balcony, kick off the plastic boards, and flee directly to their neighbors' homes for refuge.

This plastic sheet is so thin that even a child can easily break it.

But Lin Hezhen only felt that this layer of plastic board was very thick, just like the wall of people's hearts. It was obviously invisible and intangible, but it really existed in the heart and could not be touched or overcome.

"You shouldn't do this to her." Ying Lili appeared quietly behind him at some point.

"Did you hear that?" Lin Hezhen didn't look back.

"Well, the balcony is not very soundproof." Yinglili nodded hesitantly.

She couldn't sleep, so she went to the balcony to get some air and overheard the conversation between Hayashi Kazuma and Shinomiya Kaguya.

Although she only heard half of it, she could barely piece together a story about a goddess who has a heart but a king who has no dreams.

"In this world, some people don't have a home. If you let her go back, she won't be able to find the way she came or where she's going, and she will die in a corner - just like me."

"So I don't understand why people who have ties want to wander instead?"

Yinglili couldn't understand Lin Hezhen, just like day didn't understand the darkness of night.

She is a relative who has lost her beloved. She has no nostalgia in the world, only a shell of hatred.

Therefore, she didn't understand why someone would try his best to push away someone who loved him deeply and whom he didn't hate, and use the cruelest way to push him away.

Is there anything more important in this world than the one you love?

"You don't understand." Lin Hezhen turned and looked directly at her.
