Godslayer: A random filename extension?

[Honestly, Lin Qiye's red thread is still nowhere to be seen, while you already have two guaranteed leads.]

[I used to joke that if I had the chance, I would definitely try my best to escape the fate of being a virgin for two lifetimes.]

[Why haven't you mentioned this matter at all for over six months now?]

[Whether it's the beautiful woman or this girl, I reckon if you just lay in bed and waved, they'd both pounce on you without hesitation, right?]

Si Mengqing: -(￢?￢)σ Are you chickening out?

Lin Linhou: (ー ー゛)……

"Forget about the confidante, she seems to know nothing. Her closeness to me is only due to the two contracts, as well as the sense of admiration and dependence from her bloodline."

Even if Lin Linhou gave the order, the other party might indeed engage in reproduction without hesitation, but he did not believe that there was a strong romantic relationship between the two.

Lin Linhou isn't some lecherous glutton.

Even though the woman's appearance does appeal to his aesthetic sense and preferences, he should still cultivate genuine affection for her gradually.

"As for Xingling..."

Lin Linhou looked down at his cheap apprentice, who was sleeping soundly with his head on his lap, occasionally muttering a few words in his sleep.

This person, however, almost "consciously (and ridiculously) maxed out" their favorability rating.

ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ

"I feel like I don't even need to take the initiative. If I'm not careful, she might force herself on me instead."

Lin Linhou had a feeling that he was the one being pursued in a game.

[Yeah, so why don't you just lie down and give in? You don't have to do anything, the girl will take care of herself.]

Lin Linhou: ( ??_? ?) What kind of talk is this?

"Xingling is only nineteen years old. She shouldn't put all her attention on me."

"I remember when we first met more than a year ago, she just wanted to learn a trade so she could earn more money for her college tuition."

Although Lin Linhou's memories of that time were somewhat hazy, he vaguely remembered the strong longing for the university campus in the other person's eyes at that time.

Now, she has simply chosen to pursue him over going to university, but that doesn't mean that Fifth Star Bell has completely lost her longing for university. Lin Linhou can sense this in their daily conversations.

"Besides, whether it's falling in love or embracing, it just doesn't feel right in this isolated, oppressive, and suffocating island prison, does it?"

Lin Linhou plans to send Xingling to university in six months.

Life shouldn't be filled with too many regrets. When conditions allow, you should still do the things you want to do.

Fifth Star Bell: ...

Furthermore, if the Fifth Star Bell follows me, two outcomes are inevitable.

It's either endless fighting and killing, or you can only act as a support team, watching and cheering, and then comforting and relieving your own physical and mental fatigue.

The former was not a pleasant experience, and as for the latter, he felt that Fifth Star Bell's personality wouldn't want her to be just a household accessory that could only assist in healing and restoring status.

This child is actually very strong-willed, and his way of thinking always gives the impression of being somewhat extreme.

[You're holding back the food that's practically in your mouth, how pathetic... Oh well, whatever, do whatever you want...]

Lin Linhou: ヘ(_ _ヘ) What are you saying? What do you mean by "good-for-nothing"?

"I'm just worried that she's too young. What if she gets pregnant by accident? I can't let her go to college with a pregnant belly."

Lin Linhou said that if Xingling has already graduated from university and is old enough to get a marriage certificate, he will guarantee that they can get the certificate in the morning, get married in the afternoon, and consummate their marriage in the evening.

[Can't you guys just take medication and use condoms? If all else fails, get a vasectomy; you can recover completely with a treatment afterwards.]

Lin Linhou: ...?_?

Fifth Star Bell: ...

Lin Linhou fell into deep thought upon hearing this, but ultimately shook his head; he was a perfectionist when it came to CG.

In short, the atmosphere just doesn't feel right since the first night happened in a prison instead of a wedding hall.

"Moreover, these are turbulent times. The Outer Gods have invaded, we must avenge the Church of the Ancient Gods, and we must find the members of Squad 136..."

Lin Linhou: ?( ?? ? ? ?)?

How can we talk about personal feelings when the country is not yet prosperous and strong?

The matter of losing one's virginity can wait. Let's resolve all the troubles first, so that we can focus wholeheartedly on our wedding night without any distractions or extraneous thoughts.

[Then you'll just have to wait patiently. After all, if she goes to university, it could take anywhere from two or three years to more than ten years.]

……

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the handsome young men at the fasting center are once again enjoying their routine.

However, Lin Linhou discovered this time that the number of prisoners who needed to be executed had not increased, but rather decreased.

Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that a small number of them had escaped "accidentally" due to relatively minor offenses.

There were also rumors about him, such as: "He was treated while naked and subjected to slow slicing, which was really disabling, brother." "Have you ever experienced your second brother being slashed a thousand times?" "Can you imagine the experience of Zigong and Rufang being repeatedly cut into pieces?" These rumors were also spread by these escaped criminals.

As a result, crimes committed by people with superpowers have decreased significantly in Xia Kingdom recently, especially after the Lunar New Year.

After all, before committing a crime, everyone would think twice about whether they would have to endure the "Ten Cruelest Tortures of the Restoration of the Qing Dynasty".

The number of new female offenders, in particular, almost dropped to zero.

Lin Linhou: ('?')?

Lin Linhou felt that his lifelong reputation had been shattered.

Who started these damn rumors?! Arrest the person who spread them, I want to skin him alive!

"I'm not that perverted!"

(╯' - ')╯︵ ┻━┻

“But Master, this rumor… doesn’t seem to be entirely false, it’s just taken out of context.”

Fifth Star Bell pondered for a moment and felt that there was nothing seriously wrong with the message that was sent back.

Lin Linhou: Um... I guess so.

(ー`′ー), after all, when Lin Linhou was slowly dismembering his target, his knife showed no mercy. The target was absolutely taken care of from the inside out, with his skin, flesh, bones, internal organs, and so on.

As for the female prisoners' area, Lin Linhou naturally adhered to the principle of gender equality and did not shy away from it at all.

The same treatment applied to everyone, even the slow slicing.

Therefore, the organs mentioned in this "rumor" were, as claimed, repeatedly cut and treated during the execution.

"Moreover, I have a feeling that the Night's Watch deliberately let these criminals with minor criminal records escape and spread this misinterpreted true information?"

Lin Linhou rolled her eyes and said that the feelings and the seeming could be completely removed.

"This is intentional on the part of the Night Watch, hoping to effectively reduce the rate of superpower-related crimes in this way."

For superpowered individuals within the Xia Kingdom, these days feel like a return to the "crackdown era."
