"Brother Linghuan, you only have 100 spiritual power points. Isn't it too early for you to learn the Ghost Path?"

Seeing Reigen Arataka's impatient expression, Lin Tian curled his lip and asked speechlessly.

"Sigh, I had no choice. You asked me to counsel Shinji. That kid is even more depressed than my student... I have to show him some real skills. Otherwise, how can I make him believe that what I say is true?"

Seeing that Binchotan was the only person around, Reigen Arataka stopped pretending and simply passed the problem to Lin Tian.

In the first few days after he arrived on the island, he still wanted to maintain his image as a master in front of Lin Tian and try to persuade Lin Tian to cooperate with him.

But Lin Tian ruthlessly exposed his pretense. Faced with Lin Tian, ​​who even knew what color underwear he was wearing that day, Reigen Arataka decisively chose to give up and stopped pretending in front of Lin Tian.

Chapter 165 The Strike of Reigen Arataka

"I am now considered a very powerful exorcist in his eyes. If I don't show some real skill, all my previous efforts will be in vain. It is your task to help Shinji Ikari build up his confidence."

"If you don't help me, I'll have to declare the mission a failure! Go back now! My disciple will be worried about my safety if he finds out I've been missing for too long. His terrifying abilities will cause serious problems if left unchecked!"

Seeing that Lin Tian wouldn't agree, Reigen Arataka sat on the chair behind him, spread his hands, and directly threatened Lin Tian with the island.

Actually, he was also very anxious, as he was almost finished conquering the enemy. But recently, Shinji Ikari went to learn taijutsu from Neji Hyuga, which was a good thing, showing that Shinji Ikari had the ambition to become stronger.

The problem arose when he sought out Neji Hyuga to learn taijutsu... That expressionless Neji couldn't utter a single word of encouragement; nine out of ten sentences he uttered were meant to discourage Shinji Ikari. This brought Reigen Arataka's psychological reform plan back to square one.

"You can even fool Shigeo Kageyama into becoming your cheap labor, but you can't do anything about Shinji Ikari? That doesn't seem like you." Lin Tian chuckled, not taking Reigen Arataka's words to heart.

He's not good at anything else, but his skill at conning people is unparalleled. Even if he encounters some minor difficulties now, as long as he uses his brain a little, it's no problem.

Shinji Ikari, this little white rabbit, can't escape the clutches of Reigen Arataka, the big bad wolf.

Reigen Arataka has drunk more irradiated water than Shinji Ikari has walked.

"I have no style. I'm just a small business owner trying to make a living. Every day I stay here, I lose tens of thousands of yen. If I don't go back soon, my landlord will take back my house. If you want me to counsel Shinji again, then you'll have to pay me!"

Seeing that Lin Tian wasn't falling for his tricks, Reigen Shinryu laid his cards on the table. He knew he couldn't learn anything with his talent, and he wouldn't even dare to dream of the bizarre magic of the Ghost Path. Money was much more practical.

He had seen the Bells on the island; they were made of pure gold. If he could bring back hundreds of thousands or millions of Bells, he, a small business owner, would instantly become a billionaire. Why would he need to run a small, run-down exorcism company? He could just buy a luxury cruise ship and have a few young ladies party every night.

"Have you forgotten that you still owe me 30 Bells? Don't even think about asking me for your wages!"

What? He actually dared to ask Lin Tian for wages? Doesn't he know Lin Tian is a miser? We can talk about feelings, but not money!

"Let's keep things separate. I'll pay you back the 30 Bells slowly. You asked me to tutor Shinji. Now that the difficulty has increased, it's hard to continue without my salary. Look, I've already bought some Mileage Travel Tickets. If you don't pay me, I'm going back right now!"

Seeing Lin Tian threaten him with 30 yuan in debt, Linghuan Xinlong remained unfazed. He had already anticipated that Lin Tian would bring this up, so he had bought a "ticket" to go back in advance and used it as leverage.

"Young, it seems you're all prepared. No means no. Nobody can take a single bell from me! Go back if you want."

However... let me remind you, don't forget to pay back the 300,000 Bells first. Because once you leave here, interest will start accruing, at a rate of 0.08% per day. That means you'll have to pay me back an extra 7200 Bells each month for the 300,000 Bells.

Oh, I almost forgot. If you leave now, you'll also need to pay your daily living expenses on the island: 10 Bells for food, 200 Bells for an apple, and 400 Bells for a cherry. That's a total of 29070 Bells.

Don't think that once you go back, I can't do anything to you. You've been here for a week now; you should have seen our strength. Going back to your world to collect debts will be a piece of cake.

Threat? Lin Tian wouldn't fall for that. Even though his little Reigen Shinryu became ten times stronger after eating the apple, he was still a weakling in front of Lin Tian.

Even if his disciple, Shigeo Kageyama, the protagonist of Mob Psycho 100, tries to stop him from collecting his debts, Lin Tian has other ways. He can't beat him, but he has a powerful backer.

He believed that no one could escape the judgment of the island's will!

"How could a mere piece of fruit be so expensive! You're blatantly threatening me! I won't fall for it. If you want to come find me, then come find me. My disciple is incredibly powerful, the strongest in the world. Are you scared?"

Eight ten-thousandths? How is that any different from usury?

Seeing that Lin Tian dared to threaten him with this, Reigen Arataka was somewhat flustered, but then he remembered that his disciple, Mob, was also a Devil Fruit user and might not be weaker than these people. So he forced himself to remain calm and was not afraid of Lin Tian's threat.

He refused to believe that after all these years of struggling in society, he couldn't subdue a 19-year-old boy.

"I'm scared! I am a little scared, but... he's only a middle school student. If I report you to the labor bureau for employing child labor, what do you think will happen next? I remember you paid Mob much less than a part-time worker..."

Lin Tian smiled and moved a chair to sit opposite Linghuan Xinlong, looking at him with a playful gaze.

"Oh, by the way. If Mob finds out you're not a Devil Fruit user at all and have been lying to him all along, do you think he'll still help you?"

"you!"

Lin Tian's words struck at Reigen Arataka's Achilles' heel, causing him to lose his composure and jump to his feet with a shout. Mob was his only trump card; if even Mob left him, Reigen Arataka knew perfectly well that he was no match for Lin Tian and the others.

If they come to his house to collect the debt, he will be helpless.

"Hahaha, Brother Lin Tian, ​​I was just kidding. Salary? That was all a joke. I know that talking about money can hurt feelings. I'll go tutor Shinji Ikari right now and I guarantee I'll complete this arduous task!"

Seeing that his threat had failed and his weakness had been exploited, Reigen Arataka's expression changed swiftly. He put away the Nook Miles Travel Pass in his hand, said something to Lin Tian with a grin, and then ran towards the arena.

Watching his retreating figure, Lin Tian shook his head helplessly, while also admiring the man's complete lack of integrity.

How did he manage that?

"Brother, what are you and Uncle Reigen talking about? Binchotan doesn't understand."

"It's nothing, come on. Brother will take you to catch butterflies!"

"That's great! Binchotan loves butterflies the most!"

Reigen Arataka's arrival was just a minor incident for Lin Tian. Whether he stayed or left was of no concern to Lin Tian. After all, this man could get along anywhere, and Lin Tian didn't need to worry about him.

The most important thing now is to spend the 70 yuan as soon as possible. There are still three bridges on the island whose construction funds haven't been paid to the terracotta warriors. Lin Tian plans to take Binchotan along and catch insects while passing by the terracotta warriors to hand over the funds.

A few days later, Reigen Arataka left. However, it wasn't because he couldn't get his wages after a falling out with Lin Tian; he genuinely had something to do.

He had been missing for over ten days, and he was afraid his company would go bankrupt if he didn't return soon. This was the reason he gave Lin Tian. However, Lin Tian could still guess the real reason he wanted to go back from his eyes.

Having not seen Shigeo Kageyama for more than ten days, he felt a sense of unease, fearing that something uncontrollable might happen to Shigeo because he was not by his side.

As for Shinji Ikari, Reigen Arataka somehow managed to make him his second disciple.

Shinji Ikari no longer appears as insecure as before; instead, he's become more positive and confident. The day after Reigen Arataka left, he pestered Neji Hyuga to continue learning taijutsu.

Even though Hyuga Neji reprimanded him several times, saying he was the least talented person he had ever met, Ikari Shinji still persisted in pestering Neji to teach him taijutsu.

Seeing that Shinji Ikari finally had a goal and was striving to achieve it, Lin Tian could only comfort Neji Hyuga and tell him to be more patient.

The early morning sunlight streamed into the room, bringing warmth to the two people in bed for the new day. Kikyo gently stroked Lin Tian's face, waking him from his game of hide-and-seek with the Seven Fairies in the Peach Garden.

Achoo!

Feeling the jelly-like texture of the bellflower, Lin Tian sneezed instinctively before even opening his eyes. Living together for so long had left him feeling somewhat weak.

"what happened?"

Seeing Lin Tian sneeze, Kikyo's beautiful face showed a hint of panic. She quickly touched Lin Tian's forehead and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, it's probably because it's been too cold sleeping these past few days."

"So you mean I'm too cold? I made you cold? Humph~"

Upon hearing that it was because he caught a cold while sleeping, Kikyo pouted her cherry lips and gave a disgruntled snort, withdrawing her hand from Lin Tian's forehead.

"How could that be? I never said that."

Seeing that Kikyo was a little angry, Lin Tian quickly hugged her. Before Kikyo could react, he buried his head in Kikyo's arms, shaking his head and feeling her jelly-like skin.

"Ugh, how annoying!"

Feeling the waves of heat surging through her chest, Kikyo's face flushed instantly, and she braced herself against Lin Tian's body, trying to push him away.

But Lin Tian gave her no chance and continued to cling to Kikyo's body. Without the constraints of the shrine maiden outfit, Lin Tian remembered the cream cake he often ate when he was a child.

It's refreshingly cool and delicious, with a rich, milky flavor.

Suddenly, his actions became even more unrestrained.

"I have something to tell you."

"what?"

After playing around, Kikyo nestled in Lin Tian's arms, enjoying the warmth of the sunshine and Lin Tian himself.

Sun and Moon Splendor

"Ren-mei misses home and wants you to go back with her."

Lin Tian looked down at Kikyo, whose cheeks were still flushed with the afterglow of the past, and wondered why he had to accompany Shinobu Kocho back with him.

“She can go back by herself. Why does she insist that I accompany her? That Ghost King has already been defeated and doesn’t need any outside help anymore. Besides, she’s been on the island for so long now, and her strength is no longer what it was when she first arrived.”

Shinobu Kocho arrived at the adorable Rabbit Island when she perished alongside Doma, one of the Upper Moon Two demons of Muzan. Within a day of that, Muzan would be killed by members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Even if Shinobu Kocho returns before Muzan, the Demon King, is still alive, with her current strength, it's only a matter of time before she defeats Muzan, who has no will to fight and only knows how to hide.

Therefore, Lin Tian didn't know why Shinobu Kocho wanted him to go to the Demon Slayer world with her. He also didn't understand why Kikyo agreed to Shinobu's request.

"She must have her reasons for wanting you to come back with her. You have nothing to do on the island anyway, so go with her and relax."

Kikyo looked into Lin Tian's eyes, then looked at the sky outside, and continued to persuade Lin Tian.

Although Shinobu Kocho didn't tell her why Lin Tian had to accompany her back, Kikyo believed that Shinobu must have her own difficulties, or that there was something that only Lin Tian could help her solve.

"Aren't you worried at all about letting your husband accompany your best friend on a trip to relax?"

"I believe you."

Kikyo turned and looked into Lin Tian's eyes, smiling sweetly. Her eyes were crystal clear, revealing complete trust in Lin Tian.

Seeing Kikyo's unwavering trust in him, Lin Tian sighed softly and pulled her tightly into his arms.

"Okay, I agree. But... are you coming with us?"

"No, if I leave with you, there will be no one to help you manage the island. I'll go with you after you find the world with the Wishing Dragon Balls."

Faced with Lin Tian's question, Kikyo chuckled and rested her head on his shoulder. Rather than accompanying Lin Tian off the island, she preferred to stay on the island and be a virtuous wife, helping him manage it.

"..."

Kikyo's words made Lin Tian's heart clench, and he was speechless. He thought that Kikyo still cared about her current soul form and didn't want to go out in this form.

However, if you want to go to the Dragon Ball world, then people from the Dragon Ball world need to come to the island.

Using the Dragon Balls to restore Kikyo's physical body seems like a unwise choice. After all, if no one from the Dragon Ball world comes to the island, Lin Tian will never be able to take Kikyo to the Dragon Ball world to find Shenron.

Meanwhile, Lin Tian had asked Yin Liya to help him find Aozaki Touko, but after so many days, he still hadn't received a reply from her.
