Manipulative Harem God-Chapter 16: She is your mother!?

Leng Yan spoke with a troubled look, "What is he doing here?"

Her younger sister in appearance, another woman, asked, "Why did you stop, Yan'er?"

As Leng Yan gazed at Zhang Wei, she realized that this was the not the perfect moment to meet him.

Leng Mei followed Leng Yan's gaze and noticed a young man standing there, his age similar to Leng Yan's. The inner child inside her immediately started jumping, "Do you know him? Is he your boyfriend?" she exclaimed with unconcealed excitement.

The face of Leng Yan twitched, "No!"

She denied the acquisition, but Leng Mei was not someone to let the matter drop.

"I just met him while handling a case," Leng Yan clarified. Leng Mei nodded immediately.

"You started liking him after that, right? Don't worry, Mother will help you get that boy!" Leng Mei grabbed Leng Yan's hand, dragging her to the orphanage.

Leng Mei, with her purple hair and purple eyes, dressed in conservative attire, rarely visited her daughter.

She spent most of her time managing her business in Longyun city.

Xianghui City is relatively closer to the county's capital, Longyun City, compared to Qingyun City. Longyun City, also known as "Dragon Cloud City," is a city of great historical and mythological significance, as well as natural beauty. Xianghui City, on the other hand, is renowned for its intellectual and artistic accomplishments. Meanwhile, Qingyun City is a metropolitan city that may be smaller than the other two, but it compensates for it with its various valleys, such as the Jade River Valley and the Golden Dragon Waterfalls. All three cities are among the country's top ten prime places.

As they strolled towards the orphanage, Leng Mei couldn't help but continue her commentary, "I can already picture it! The two of you holding hands, walking on the beach, feeding each other ice cream. Oh, and you can introduce him to us at our family dinner!"

Leng Yan cringed at the thought of her mother's matchmaking attempts. "That's not going to happen, Mei. He's just a suspect in a case I'm investigating."

Leng Mei frowned in disappointment, "But he's so handsome! You should at least get his number."

Leng Yan rolled her eyes, "I don't think that's appropriate."

As they arrived at the orphanage, they spotted Zhang Wei conversing with an elderly woman who appeared to be in charge. Approaching him, Leng Yan inquired, "What brings you here, Zhang Wei?"

With a playful smile, Zhang Wei retorted, "Well, well, well. Look who's here. Are you following me, Officer Leng?"

Leng Yan rolled her eyes, "Don't flatter yourself. I have personal business here."

Interrupting their banter, Leng Mei interjected, "But she also wants to know if you're single and looking for love."

Zhang Wei's amused expression turned to a more serious one, "I'm sorry to disappoint, but I'm not interested in dating at the moment."

Leng Yan's cheeks turned red, "He's already married, Mom!"

Although Leng Mei heard this, she was not disheartened. Due to her daughter's fierce personality, boys rarely approached her. If any did, her daughter would scare them away with her intimidating demeanor.

But this man didn't seem scared of her daughter, unfortunately, he was married.

Leng Mei couldn't help but hope that the relationship between him and his wife was not good.

The elderly woman looked at them with confusion, "Is there a problem, Officer?"

Shaking her head, Leng Yan replied, "No, no problem. We were just checking up on things. Everything seems to be in order here."

Leng Yan was wearing her PSB badge, making it clear that she was an officer, while Leng Mei was dressed casually.

"Mom?"

Zhang Wei couldn't believe his ears. Leng Yan's mother was standing right in front of him, dressed in such an exquisite manner that he couldn't take his eyes off her. He admired the way her black dress hugged her curves and how it moved gracefully with every step she took. The high collar added a touch of elegance to her already perfect neckline.

Her purple hair was something he had never seen before, and he couldn't help but be captivated by its beauty. It flowed down her back in soft waves, creating a stunning contrast with her dress. Her purple eyes glinted with amusement as she looked around, surveying the surroundings with an air of confidence and power.

Zhang Wei was taken aback by this revelation and looked at Leng Yan suspiciously, "Did you just call her Mom?"

He found it hard to believe that Leng Mei was her mother since she looked even younger than Leng Yan.

Nevertheless, Leng Yan confirmed his doubts with a sigh of familiarity, as if used to this question.

"She is my mother, Leng Mei," Leng Yan said, as she introduced Zhang Wei as one of the suspects in a criminal case.

"Mom, he is Zhang Wei one of the suspects of a criminal case," she spoke in hope, her mother would leave her alone.

Unfortunately, Leng Mei wasn't discouraged in the least.

Leng Yan usually refers to her mother by her name to avoid confusion, but this time it slipped out of her mouth.

Leng Yan often wishes that her mother was her sister, as her behavior is not typical of a mother's. She uses her position to embarrass Leng Yan in public, which can be frustrating.

Zhang Wei didn't seem to mind the introduction, as he continued to observe Leng Mei.

She was amused to see the shock on his face and even teased him. "Do you like me more than my daughter? Unfortunately for you, I'm not interested in love. Try your luck with my daughter instead, you might succeed."

She spoke with a playful tone while showing off her figure.

Leng Yan facepalmed, while Zhang Wei's face twitched. He thought, 'Why waste time on someone like her?'

Going after Leng Yan is a waste of time; she's anything but womanly.' However, he did appreciate Leng Mei's attitude.

But the question remains: are they really mother and daughter?

'Hey, system. Is there any way to confirm her age?' he asked.

The system responded, [So finally, you remembered me, host! Just try to summon the status window!]

Zhang Wei followed the instructions and summoned the status window.

??

Zhang Wei was momentarily confused, 'Does this world have cultivators?' he asked the system.

[Yes, host. But not everyone has talent for cultivation. People like Guo Jian have Mundane talent, and they can't cultivate,] the system replied.

Zhang Wei nodded after the explanation. There were a lot of other things he could ask, but now was not the time for it.

'So that is why she won against me,' he said, as it now made sense to him why Leng Yan was easily able to overpower him.

'Does cultivation reduce aging?' Zhang Wei asked, knowing it was a silly question, but he still needed to ask it for some cultural reasons.

[Of course it does!] the system confirmed.

That was all Zhang Wei needed to hear, and his smile got wider.

One of the reasons for Zhang Wei's lack of desire for a harem was aging.

For the closed-in weebs in this world, a harem was a simple thing, full of love and compassion.

In reality, those people were just insecure individuals lacking connection and relationships, thinking that a harem would solve their problem of a lack of attention and love.

Only those who had even been in a remotely close harem-type relationship could tell of its hardships.

If you have more than two women, then you can only watch but not touch at all.

A threesome is enough to exhaust you for a day, so where will the third woman go?

Not to forget the women's dramas.

Even if you somehow ended up having a perfect number of two women and tamed them to your liking, your problems wouldn't end there.

Everyone thinks that the life of a harem ends at the above stage, but there is one last stage.

The stage where you start to age.

After a few years of good life, you will realize that your women have started to become old.

Now it will be time for replacement, as you can't continue with the old ones.

Whether you replace them or add more women, it's yet another headache, and the cycle repeats.

If he had a harem, by the time Zhang Wei turns 40, what was he supposed to do with the women that are aged and wrinkled?

After all, even an old man can be desired by women. But how many men desire older women?

Whether one likes it or not, as a rule of thumb, men covet beauty while women covet fortune.

This was the reason why Zhang Wei never considered any other permanent relationships besides Yu Lei.

Aging was a prime factor in his decision.

Actually, he did think that he might be able to manage another woman, but the number would be limited to one additional woman beside Yu Lei, and that only if that woman was exceptionally beautiful.

But now, with this new knowledge of the cultivation world, wouldn't everything change? He could have a harem without any problems...

[A/N: Engaging in a polygamous relationship is a completely different matter than fucking around.]

Zhang Wei didn't even bother to ask the system about his cultivation talent.

As long as there was a way, he would find it. Even if he had worse talent, he would still find a way to rise to the top, with or without the system.

"Is he alright?" Leng Mei asked with concern.
