Lin Wen said unhappily, "What a pervert."

Xia Xiaoxiang looked disgusted.

"You're not normal. People have normal relationships, but you want to play these perverted ethical games."

Although she said that, her eyes were shining with excitement.

"Can't you consider developing a normal romantic relationship with her?"

Lin Wen glanced at her.

"I can only accept this level of intimacy at most. Anything more would be wishful thinking."

"Wow." Xia Xiaoxiang covered her mouth, looking like a shocked little girl. "Why do you have such perverted thoughts?"

"Is it hard to understand?"

Lin Wen asked in return.

"Qin Luoshuang lost her family and left her clan. She treats this place as her new home. Think about it, how can a new home not have a father? How can a daughter not have a father? Isn't she pitiful being all alone here?"

"I reluctantly took on this responsibility out of human care. If it goes beyond this period, even if a fairy cries and calls me daddy, I won't accept it."

Xia Xiaoxiang widened her eyes, unable to believe her ears.

"And there's this twisted logic. Where do you get the confidence to say such things? Do you know who Qin's father is?"

Lin Wen sneered, "I know. He's a garbage scum. He's not qualified to be Qin Luoshuang's father."

This statement made Xia Xiaoxiang nod. "That's right, that person is cruel and heartless. He doesn't deserve it."

"In the past, in order to expand the Qin Clan, he labeled a large number of local officials who opposed him as imperial traitors, and after exterminating them, he looted and massacred with his troops. Formerly prosperous towns like Nanyang and Yongchang are still desolate and deserted, with only ruins covered in weeds."

"So," Lin Wen added, "only I can be Qin Luoshuang's father. No one else in the empire is allowed."

"

Xia Xiaoxiang was speechless.

Superficially, what he said seemed to make sense.

But is this how it works?

According to his theory, her father is also scum, so can he be her father too?

"But unfortunately, she has never agreed."

Xia Xiaoxiang gave him a big eye roll. "Of course not, who would agree?"

Lin Wen was already impatient with her rambling. "What else do you want? I'm busy."

Xia Xiaoxiang touched her petite nose, a habitual gesture. She knew that things had taken a huge deviation now, and their complicated relationship had far exceeded her imagination. It was not suitable to continue rashly until the clues were completely sorted out and the context was found.

So she immediately switched to work mode and dealt with the remaining matters.

The first one was the issue of the new town. This newly built town with a population of 300,000 had been managed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but this model was abnormal and unreasonable. It must be put on the right track as soon as possible.

Xia Xiaoxiang had already prepared a list of candidates for the new town government.

Lin Wen briefly scanned the information and saw that the mayor was a civil affairs official named Ji Fuxiao. Lin Wen seemed to have some impression of this person, but couldn't remember clearly.

He didn't recognize the deputy mayor and a series of officials.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Merge the nearby towns of Changle, Niujiao, and Changpai into the new town, forming the Changle District, Niujiao District, and Changpai District of the new town. The former mayor of Changle, Xiao Li, will become the deputy mayor, and the former village chief will become the district head of the respective district."

The second issue was the vacancy of department heads. Xia Xiaoxiang had prepared a long list of candidates.

Lin Wen couldn't be bothered to look at it. "You handle it yourself. From now on, you'll handle these things yourself."

Xia Xiaoxiang couldn't believe it. "Do you know what you're doing? You're giving me the power of personnel!"

Lin Wen corrected her, "Only the power of appointment. If you want to dismiss someone, you still have to ask me."

Xia Xiaoxiang covered her forehead. "With you doing this, unless Qin Luoshuang calls you daddy now, we can overthrow you in just a week!"

Lin Wen said, "What will happen if you overthrow me?"

"Of course, we will have full control, and you will just be an empty figurehead sheriff."

"Will you be responsible for all the affairs of the county?"

"Yes, you won't have a say."

"Okay, then hurry up and overthrow me. I'm leaving."

After saying that, Lin Wen quickly left.

Leaving Xia Xiaoxiang alone in the wind.

---

After Lin Wen left, he quickly found two towering trees in a quiet park.

He sat in the middle.

"Alright, today I will have my enlightenment in this pair of ancient trees."

He closed his eyes.

Following the detailed instructions in "Body of Destiny," he relaxed his mind, breathed calmly, and felt the fluctuations of the threads of destiny in time and space.

After about half an hour, a faint light appeared in the dark world.

Lin Wen felt as if he was floating in this world.

Under his feet was a dark water surface, and above his head was an endless deep space.

Then, a hazy thread appeared in front of him.

It emitted a white light, with one end connected to an infinite past and the other end connected to an endless future.

He could only see a section in the middle.

Soon, many threads with the same faint light appeared in front of Lin Wen.

Their colors and sizes were different, but they could only see a section in the middle.

Lin Wen soared into the air and flew freely in the sky. Countless faint lights surrounded him, giving him a strange sense of beauty.

Lin Wen knew that these were the threads of destiny. As long as he touched them, he could enhance a divine ability.

After circling twice, Lin Wen reached out to touch a thread emitting red light, but just a second before touching it, the thread disappeared.

But when Lin Wen retracted his hand, it appeared again.

Lin Wen knew that it was because his inspiration was not enough, his mind was filled with distractions, and he couldn't reach the state of emptiness and selflessness, so he couldn't touch the thread of destiny.

So he tried to empty his mind, relax his spirit, and let all his actions flow naturally.

But after a long time, he still didn't touch the thread of destiny for the second time. Although many threads of destiny had appeared in front of him, he was just a tiny bit away from touching them.Lin Wen was slightly anxious. He saw a thread of destiny in front of him and made a seemingly casual move.

The thread of destiny disappeared.

After failing several times in a row, Lin Wen realized that this was similar to luck and opportunity, he couldn't rush it or force it.

He calmed down completely, relaxed his mind, and stopped paying attention to the trajectory of the thread of destiny.

Gradually, his mind became more and more scattered, as if something existed in his thoughts, and as if nothing existed at all.

After an unknown amount of time, he seemed to arrive at a land where spring was in full bloom. The warm sun was shining, flowers were blooming, and he naturally touched the petals and smiled as he saw the flowers blooming brilliantly.

In an instant, the world turned upside down, and a thread of destiny glowing with a faint blue light was held in his hand.

The blue light blinked and shattered, turning into countless blue stars, breaking through the sky.

But one blue star fell on his body and merged with him.

In a flash, all the threads of destiny disappeared, and the world was left with only a hollow darkness.

The deathly loneliness oppressed him, and Lin Wen knew he had to go back.

With a slight thought, his mind returned.

He opened his eyes and found that it was already late at night. The dim crescent moon was about to fall below the horizon, and his body was covered with leaves. The quiet night sky was only filled with the sound of insects.

Everything was very ordinary.

But Lin Wen felt something stirring in his spirit. A white mist suddenly filled his vision, and three other divine powers appeared before his eyes.

"No colorful phoenix in body", "Yosuga No Sora", "Half Connection to Dao".

Lin Wen pondered for a moment and decided to strengthen "Yosuga No Sora" first.

With a firm thought, the blue star flew out from his body and merged into the golden light of "Yosuga No Sora".

In an instant, the golden light flourished, and the world was brilliant.

When Lin Wen looked again, he had arrived at the divine power interface.

Four divine powers lay quietly on it, but only the three characters of "Yosuga No Sora" were rotating with golden light, extremely dazzling.

Lin Wen looked closely and got the following information:

Strengthening of destiny in progress.

The state of "Dao is Natural" recovers faster;

The effect of "Yosuga No Sora" is enhanced;

At the bottom, there was a line of small print:

"Blue power of destiny, suitable for good karma and causal divine powers, effect doubled."

There's such a thing?

Lin Wen was overjoyed and thought to himself.

It seems that I haven't studied this divine power enough, it's all that demon woman's fault, distracting me.

But at least it's a hit, not a waste.

Lin Wen stood up, leaves rustling down from his body, but he didn't feel stiff or blocked in his limbs due to sitting for a long time.

Looking at his soul, it had actually recovered to 33%.

Lin Wen remembered very clearly that it was 2% when he just came back.

A sleep plus a meditation, and it recovered by 31%

Based on past experience, sleep generally only recovers about 10%, so the remaining 21% was all recovered by meditation.

Lin Wen was overjoyed. Although he had meditated for almost 20 hours, sleep time was limited.

He couldn't always sleep, but he could always meditate.

There's such a good thing?

All along, the soul has been the biggest factor restricting Lin Wen's good karma.

Every action had to calculate the soul, wait for the soul to recover, which gave Lin Wen a big headache.

Now, he finally had a way to recover his soul besides sleeping.

Although the efficiency may not be better than sleep, having an extra method was already a great progress.

It can be said that there is no divine power more suitable for him than "Body of Destiny".

Lin Wen laughed so hard that he couldn't close his legs.

Indeed,

I am the king of multiple-choice questions.

Hahaha!

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".

I never choose wrong.

Thinking of the countless projects waiting for him in Changshan County, Lin Wen's blood boiled!

Good!

The future of Changshan County will be built by me!

My hammer is already impatient!
