"Demolition is underway!"

On the small hill behind the city lord's mansion, Zhang Lin notified the residents one by one. There were only a few dozen people, and most of them lived in what was essentially a tattered tent.

They simply dumped some supplies, and without Zhang Lin even having to urge them, they happily carried them away.

In less than half a day, the back mountain of the city lord's mansion was already empty.

"Xiao Yang, bring all the ratmen over here."

Zhang Lin waved his hand, and Yang Wenting, who was standing to the side, began to control the rat people to walk into the mountains.

"Captain Zhang, I need to stay by these rat-men's side to control them, so... I also have to live in this mountain." After finishing her work, Yang Wenting came to Zhang Lin's side and said this with some hesitation.

She knew that Zhang Lin didn't trust her.

Moreover, it's impossible for Zhang Lin to live with her in the mountains.

Therefore, she must resolve this trust issue.

"Then you can live in the mountains," Zhang Lin said casually.

“I mean…” Yang Wenting tried hard to think of the right words, but after thinking it over, she felt it was better to be direct. “I live alone in the mountains, and you must be worried about me. I think I have to do something to earn your trust.”

Trust issues.

Yang Wenting is nothing special, but if she were to join the army of ratmen, she would be a huge threat.

Zhang Lin had also been thinking about how to control Yang Wenting.

His current solution is to have Yang Wenting control the rat people in the mountains, while keeping Yang Wenhao under his control as a hostage.

He hadn't expected that Yang Wenting would bring up this issue at this moment.

"What do you want to do?" Zhang Lin asked, very curious.

In the small woods.

It was quiet, just the two of them.

"I want to..." Yang Wenting bit her lower lip, making a final struggle in her heart. After a moment, she made up her mind and knelt down directly in front of Zhang Lin.

She was scared.

She didn't want to be Zhang Lin's enemy.

Although she was also a reborn person, Yang Wenting had been too well protected by Yang Wenhao in the past and had experienced many hardships, but not many.

Her brother almost died, and she was devastated.

How to gain Zhang Lin's trust...

She had been thinking about this problem for a long time, and after much deliberation, she could only come up with one solution.

That is to take advantage of his status as a woman.

It's much easier for a man and a woman to build trust than for two men.

"I want to be your woman!"

Yang Wenting made up her mind and said those words to Zhang Lin.

"oh?"

Zhang Lin looked down at the girl kneeling beneath him, stroked his chin, and said with amusement, "Do you think I'm the kind of virgin who's never seen a woman before? You want to be my woman, and I'll agree?"

Admittedly, Yang Wenting is indeed a pretty girl.

At less than twenty years old, he still looked a bit green.

But her figure was already fully developed, plump and full, with supple skin, and her small, delicate features on her palm-sized face gave her a first-love look.

But with such powerful abilities, Zhang Lin couldn't possibly trust her just because she was his woman, unless... she could pass the system's judgment.

Zhang Lin originally thought that since he had almost killed her brother and cut off two of her fingers, this girl would hate him very much, so he didn't think about taking her down.

But then she brought it up herself.

Zhang Lin also had the idea of ​​giving it a try.

"Of course not, I saw it. Captain Xia and that petite girl are both your women. They are both prettier than me. I don't dare to ask for too much."

Seeing that Zhang Lin seemed uninterested in her, Yang Wenting panicked and said, "I only beg you to take me. I will prove that I truly submit to you!"

"How can you prove it?" Zhang Lin asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wenting's face slowly flushed. A hint of confusion flashed in her eyes, unsure whether she should do this.

But in just a moment, she made up her mind.

Zhang Lin is very strong.

She wanted to submit to this man.

So, she resolutely stretched out her small hands, and the belt buckle made a "click" sound...

...

...

After a moment, she finally caught her breath. "Do you believe me now? I truly submit to you. I don't want anything, I just ask that you trust me!"

"I'm asking you, are you willing to be my wife and bear my children?" Zhang Lin asked softly, touching her face.

"I don't ask for the status of a wife; I can be your slave." Yang Wenting looked up at him, her tone firm. "Master!"

"Congratulations on your new marriage! Your family will prosper even more."

"Reward: 6 Prosperity Points"

A system notification sounded.

Zhang Lin smiled. It seemed that Yang Wenting had truly submitted to him, but she had a somewhat different understanding of her own identity.

She was terrified.

After all, she possessed an ability that was both incredibly powerful and incredibly weak.

Yang Wenting's abilities are only effective when combined with the ratman army.

She herself is not strong in combat at all. Let alone Zhang Lin, even a rare template of a combat type could kill her.

In addition, having witnessed Zhang Lin's ruthless personality and formidable strength before, she felt only deep fear towards him.

Afterwards, Zhang Lin kept his promise and saved her brother. He also thought of her finger and had Qiao Ruoxi bring it back to reattach it.

This allowed her to discover another side of Zhang Lin.

For her future safety and for her own life, she set her own status very low.

If they were willing to be slaves, they would naturally be willing to be wives as well.

Having triggered the system reward, Zhang Lin could now trust her.

"Get up." Zhang Lin took her hand and helped her to her feet, then smiled and said, "Slave is such an awful word. From now on, you will be my little maid."

"Yes, Master!" Yang Wenting smiled, her rosy lips looking very alluring.

Zhang Lin had a slight urge to kiss him, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

So he reached out and rubbed Yang Wenting's cheek. "Now that you've submitted to me, I won't treat you badly. I'll find someone to build you a nice house on the mountain and send your brother over to keep you company."

"Thank you, Master."
