When Mu Lin learned that the women in his family, due to their inability to conceive for a long time, had assumed the issue lay with him and were preparing to have a comprehensive medical examination to identify the problem, he truly felt both amused and frustrated.
Mu Lin had never really paid attention to these matters before. He always approached things from the perspective of a cultivator, believing that everything in the mundane world existed merely as a means to support his cultivation journey. Therefore, he had never placed much importance on worldly possessions like wealth.
Once one reaches the stage of physical immortality, all things in the mortal realm become fleeting and insignificant. Any cultivator with higher aspirations would naturally disregard such trivialities. He believed that his women, whom he had introduced to the path of cultivation, should share this same mindset.
However, he had forgotten that his women were not like him—those who had entered the cultivation world from a young age. They had lived in this mundane world for many years, and their perspectives were inevitably different. Just like any ordinary person, they too felt the allure of wealth, something that could sway even the most steadfast hearts.
Moreover, unlike Mu Lin, who stood alone, they each had their own families and loved ones in this world. These people inevitably influenced them, and they too harbored desires for the vast fortune that his women now controlled. No wonder his women had reacted so strongly whenever he announced his plans to leave on another journey.
Now, Kleir had revealed all of this to Mu Lin, allowing him to finally understand the thoughts in his women’s hearts and feel the selfless love they held for him. Thinking of this, Mu Lin lowered his head and gently kissed Kleir, filled with regret.
From that kiss, Kleir sensed Mu Lin’s deep remorse. She lifted her arms and tightly embraced him, pressing her soft lips firmly against his and kissing him passionately.
After the deep kiss ended, Mu Lin lifted his head, a faint smirk playing on his face as he looked at the now-aroused Kleir. He said to her, “You silly girl, you all followed me into the cultivation path—don’t you remember the cultivation techniques I taught you? The steps of ‘refining essence into energy, refining energy into spirit, refining spirit back into emptiness, and refining emptiness to merge with the Dao’?”
“I remember! You did teach us that!” Kleir quickly replied.
“Good heavens! Then why would you doubt my abilities?” Mu Lin looked at her, puzzled.
Guided by Mu Lin’s words, Kleir began to understand. Hesitantly, she asked, “So you mean that every time we… we were actually cultivating? That it’s not that you’re incapable?”
“Exactly. Every time we made love, it was part of our cultivation practice, which is why you haven’t become pregnant,” Mu Lin explained.
“But still, we really want a child! Look at my age—plus I have the lowest cultivation among all of us. I don’t even know how far I can go in my cultivation. Without a child, my family might fall apart in the future. I don’t want all our efforts to eventually benefit someone else,” Kleir thought for a moment and still held firm to her belief.
Mu Lin sighed helplessly. Since Kleir and the others so desperately wanted a child and he couldn’t convince them otherwise, he decided to give them one. Naturally, what followed was a room filled with warmth and passion.
After the women in his household gained a basic understanding of Mu Lin’s cultivation methods, they eventually reached an agreement with him: once they reached a certain age and desired children, Mu Lin would grant their wish.
With all the household matters finally resolved, Mu Lin set out alone on his journey to the small island nation. As for his enemies, after experiencing so much, he was no longer a man of mercy. Moreover, these people had repeatedly provoked him, pushing his patience to the limit. This trip was meant to be a casual stroll, but also an opportunity to plan his revenge.
Moreover, according to the intelligence he had gathered, the people of this small island nation possessed many valuable Daoist treasures acquired through plunder, deceit, theft, or open robbery. There were also many talismans, and Mu Lin’s own supply of talismans had been steadily depleting. He wanted to replenish his stock from these people.
Mu Lin began his journey in Kyushu, planning to sweep across the entire small island nation, implementing a “Three Alls Policy” (burn all, kill all, loot all), so that they could taste the bitterness of such suffering.
Kyushu is one of Japan’s four main islands, located in the southern part of the country, consisting of eight prefectures including Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, and Okinawa. Western Kyushu mainly includes the three prefectures of Fukuoka, Saga, and Nagasaki. Besides the famous Huis Ten Bosch, each of these prefectures has its own unique characteristics, making a trip to Western Kyushu rich and colorful.
Fukuoka, the largest city in the region, is also known as Hakata. It boasts the bustling Tenjin underground shopping street, the traditional Hakata food street, the scholarly atmosphere of Dazaifu, the poetic charm of Kokura Castle, the modern technology of Fukuoka Tower, and the Fukuoka Dome stadium.
The Tenjin area, known as the most bustling district in Kyushu, is lined with department stores, fashion shops, and numerous restaurants. During the day, people shop; at night, they indulge in various delicacies. On weekends, it becomes a hub attracting tourists from all over Kyushu.
At this moment, Mu Lin was dressed casually, his arrogant demeanor indistinguishable from that of a typical Japanese local. Speaking in a fluent Tokyo accent, he carried a few IDs he had “borrowed” the day before to handle his daily affairs.
This time, Mu Lin mainly wanted to relax, so he slowly toured all the scenic spots Fukuoka had to offer. During the day he sightseeing, and at night he enjoyed the local cuisine, ensuring that his future actions would leave no trace—no one would suspect a regular tourist.
Within a week, Mu Lin had gathered detailed information about the local yakuza. As one of the country’s unique features, the yakuza were closely tied to politicians, and this relationship allowed them to act as de facto enforcers of the city’s underworld. Behind every major enterprise lurked a shadow of gang influence.
The entire Kyushu region was controlled by three major yakuza families, each with centuries of history. Dividing the territory among themselves, these families maintained a delicate balance, neither able to completely eliminate the other.
The night deepened, and even the homeless and drunkards on the streets had found places to rest. At this moment, a figure slowly approached a villa district in Higashiyoka Ward under the cover of darkness.
