Recent thoughts: "He certainly has a good-looking face; no wonder he was able to deceive Reina..."
Upon seeing the section on personality, Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, Kurashiki Reika spoke again: "I called you here today for no other reason than to make you disappear from Reina's life from now on."
"Tell me, how much money do you want to leave Rena?"
As she spoke, Kurashiki Reika placed her left leg over her right, her arrogance growing even more pronounced.
She had previously sent someone to secretly investigate Lin Chuan and learned that he had ambiguous relationships with several girls in Kanna.
If she weren't worried that Rena would hate her later when she found out about this, she would have had Lin Chuan's legs broken long ago. How could she still speak to him so calmly?
After all, how could Kurashiki Reika not have some shady methods to survive in a place like Japan, where wolves roam and to develop the Kurashiki Group into such a large company?
Otherwise, they would have been eaten long ago, leaving not even a bone fragment.
On the other hand, upon hearing this, Lin Chuan felt a strong sense of melodrama washing over him.
He never imagined that Lin Chuan would one day be showered with money.
A cold smile played on his lips as he looked at Kurashiki Reika with a hint of amusement: "Then, Madam, how much do you think my feelings for Reina are worth?"
Upon hearing this, Kurashiki Reika's beautiful eyes, as bright as sapphires, were filled with disdain: "Ten million! I'll give you ten million. From now on, you must leave Reina and never bother her again."
"Ten million? That's a huge sum of money. Madam, you should keep it for yourself and spend it slowly."
Sensing the sarcasm in Lin Chuan's words, Kurashiki Reika frowned slightly, her voice growing even colder: "Fifty million! That's my bottom line. Don't be too greedy; you might earn it but not live to spend it!"
Hearing the threat in the beauty's words, Lin Chuan casually sat down next to her.
Seeing his rudeness, Kurashiki Reika was about to lash out.
But just then, a strong and powerful hand suddenly wrapped around her voluptuous waist.
Along with that large hand came Lin Chuan's playful voice: "If you want me to leave Reina, that's fine, Madam..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Kurashiki Reika flew into a rage: "How dare you!"
“From the moment I entered, Madam has never given me a second glance. Today, I will be presumptuous.”
"Protect..., um~"
Shortly afterward, low, cursing voices could be heard coming from the nearby lounge.
But before it even reached the door, it vanished without a trace.
After a long while, the sound gradually stopped.
In the lounge, facing the beautiful woman's gaze that seemed to want to tear him to pieces, Lin Chuan put away his phone, leaned down and pinched her delicate chin: "Madam, you can only blame yourself. You've led things to this point step by step."
"I will pay a visit in a few days. If you don't want Reina to know about this, I think you know what to do!"
Having said that, Lin Chuan leaned down and gently kissed her slightly crescent-shaped cherry lips before turning and leaving.
After his figure completely disappeared, Kurashiki Reika, unable to contain her anger any longer, grabbed a pillow and threw it violently: "Bastard! Bastard!"
And as she raged, a fleeting, indescribable emotion seemed to flash in her sapphire-blue eyes.
Chapter 145 Successfully Incorporating Miyajima Tsubaki
In the evening, Kurashiki Reika returned home, exhausted both physically and mentally.
As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Rena Kurashiki sitting on the sofa, holding a phone and occasionally grinning foolishly.
Realizing that she was most likely chatting with Lin Chuan, Kurashiki Reika was immediately furious.
Just as he was about to rebuke her, Lin Chuan's words from that afternoon suddenly came to mind.
"Do you know why Rena is rebellious? It's all because you're always busy with work and neglect her feelings..."
At that moment, Kurashiki Rena noticed her mother out of the corner of her eye, and the smile on her face immediately disappeared. She gracefully got up and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Kurashiki Reika's expression changed slightly. In the end, she suppressed her anger, lowered her posture, and said softly, "Rena, what would you like to eat tonight? Mom will make it for you."
Upon hearing this, Kurashiki Rena paused slightly before continuing her walk toward her room.
Just as Kurashiki Reika thought that what Lin Chuan had said earlier was all nonsense, the girl's slightly stiff voice suddenly rang out: "I want to eat sushi."
Upon hearing this, Kurashiki Reika felt a slight surge of joy.
This was the first conversation between the mother and daughter in several years, aside from their arguments.
The next moment, a smile that could charm anyone appeared on her lips, and her voice became even gentler: "Mom will do it right away!"
Having said that, she strode towards the kitchen with her long, ivory-like legs that shimmered faintly under the light.
As for why she no longer wears black stockings, that's naturally because...
While cooking, Kurashiki Reika pondered for a long time and finally decided to leave Rin's legs on her body for the time being.
Having finally seen some improvement in her relationship with her daughter, she didn't want to ruin this positive situation.
The following day, inside the exquisite little villa.
After removing the last needle from Miyajima Tsubaki and putting it back into the medical kit, Lin Chuan's tone was full of regret and reluctance: "Tsubaki, this is the last treatment! Your illness is completely cured, and from now on you will never have to suffer from pain again."
"And I... I should leave too!"
Upon hearing this, the color drained from Miyajima Tsubaki's face, which had been as radiant as a peach blossom in spring.
She gently bit her cherry lips with her pearly white teeth, her hands gripping the bedsheets tightly, without uttering a word.
Although she had been mentally prepared for this, when the day actually arrived, her mind went completely blank.
Seeing this, Lin Chuan simply let out a long sigh, then picked up his coat from a nearby chair, put it on quickly, and slowly left with his medical kit.
Watching her receding figure disappear into the distance, Miyajima Tsubaki felt as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out, the pain so intense she could hardly breathe.
Tears blurred her vision. As he was about to leave the room, the woman, unable to contain her emotions any longer, jumped out of bed and rushed behind him, tightly embracing his strong waist, her voice choked with sobs: "Don't go! Please, don't go!"
The action stopped abruptly. Lin Chuan turned around, looked at the tearful beauty, gently wiped away the tears on her face, and then suddenly lowered his head to perform a basic attack.
The next moment, soft whispers echoed in the room. A sparrow resting on the windowsill looked on with great confusion in its small eyes at this scene.
Just as the two were studying the various ways of writing a certain character, a wisp of pale white light slowly flew out from above Miyajima Tsubaki's head.
The moment it left the body, it seemed to be drawn by an irresistible force, shooting towards Lin Chuan.
Once the glowing light entered the body, the small book icon in the lower right corner of the system interface shone brightly with golden light.
Familiar formula, familiar taste.
With a rustling sound of pages turning, pictures of beautiful women, some innocent and lovely, others mature and charming, flashed past Lin Chuan's eyes.
Dressed in a professional office lady outfit, with eyebrows like emerald feathers, lips like painted vermilion, and flaxen hair casually draped behind her head, Kirisaki Rie turned over.
Wearing a pale white dress, with her long, flowing black hair cascading over her right shoulder, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn waters, and a gentle smile on her lips, Miyajima Tsubaki, her brows radiating happiness and tranquility, slowly emerged.
The woman was a quintessential Yamato Nadeshiko, exuding an air of intellectual gentleness.
A moment later, after the last stroke of the pen, a detailed introduction to it appeared on the paper.
Immediately afterwards, a pleasant system notification quietly rang in his ears:
[Congratulations, host, on successfully acquiring your fifteenth goddess—Miyajima Tsubaki! Rewards from *The Record of Beauties*: 30000 Story Points, Rare Item: Thunder Law Origin *1/9, Rare Item: Bloodline Enhancement Pill (Epic), Appearance +1, Space Mark...]
The system notification was very pleasant, but Lin Chuan didn't have time to pay attention to it at the moment.
After a long while, everything returned to calm. Nestled in that broad embrace, listening to the powerful heartbeat, Miyajima Tsubaki smiled with a smile that could charm anyone.
Lin Chuan gently stroked the silky smooth hair with his right hand and checked his previous haul.
The other items were all familiar faces, but the only one that could pique his interest was the origin of the Law of Thunder.
Name: The Origin of the Law of Thunder
Category: Curious Object
Quality: None
Effect: Collect all nine fragments to master the complete Law of Lightning.
Introduction: "Products from our system are guaranteed to be of high quality!"
Nodding in satisfaction, Lin Chuan looked at his overall evaluation of being at the late Earth Rank, and his desire to improve couldn't help but stir.
Having spent so much time on the Earthly Steps, it's time for him to see what the Heavenly Steps are like.
But with his beloved in his arms, he suppressed his impulse for the time being.
Then, he closed the system interface and looked at the beautiful woman in his arms, saying gently, "Xiao Chun, let's end that unfortunate 0.5 marriage. I will take good care of you from now on."
Miyajima Tsubaki was naturally more than willing to do so, but when she thought of her daughter...
The next moment, she slightly raised her head, her eyes revealing a hint of expectation: "Lin Chuan-kun, can you give me some time? I want Sakura to be mentally prepared."
Although Lin Chuan wasn't worried at all with the "Record of Beauties" in hand, he still needed to maintain the proper attitude: "Of course! But you can't have anything to do with that guy anymore~"
"Ugh~, you're all I can think about right now, there's no room for anyone else."
Seeing that the usually shy Miyajima Tsubaki had uttered such passionate words, Lin Chuan smiled and then lowered his head to capture those soft, cloud-like lips...
