"..."

Upon hearing what the City God said, Feng Bingwen's eyes widened, and he was momentarily stunned.

Reincarnation and awakening of innate wisdom are his biggest, no, second biggest secrets. Now, he has encountered a county god who sees through him at a glance.

It must be said that they are truly deities whose power extends to both the Yin and Yang realms.

"Do not be nervous!"

Just as Feng Bingwen was starting to have wild thoughts about whether the City God would do something to him, he heard the gentle voice of the handsome old man.

"You retain wisdom from your past life, which is rare, but not unique. I won't do anything to you. This is your destiny!"

"call--"

Upon hearing this, Feng Bingwen couldn't help but exhale a sigh of relief, his whole body relaxing. There was no need to deceive himself about such a great master. Even if he had innate wisdom, so what? His two lifetimes combined couldn't compare to even a fraction of the master's abilities.

"I just wanted to come down and see what kind of person could lead a hundred ghosts to slaughter a village. I didn't expect it to be like this. But it's reasonable, otherwise it would be too shocking."

Seeing Feng Bingwen relax, the City God smiled and explained.

"Hehe, please forgive my foolishness, Your Majesty. I was actually forced into this situation; I really had no other choice!"

Feng Bingwen smiled somewhat embarrassedly upon hearing the praise. If he had a choice, he would still prefer to continue living the peaceful but monotonous farm life he had before.

"Your helplessness has become the calamity and retribution for these wicked beasts!"

"retribution?"

Feng Bingwen seemed lost in thought, but soon he remembered something very important.

"By the way, Lord City God."

"Can you remove the evil spell from them and turn them back into human beings?"

The child pointed to the bleating lambs in the sheepfold behind him and made a request to the City God, who was radiating divine light.

"Creating animals? The caster is a mortal who hasn't even mastered magic. He just borrowed some techniques, so it's easy to break. Just sprinkle some water!"

The City God glanced at it and replied. Just as Feng Bingwen was marveling at how simple it was to break the spell, the City God waved his hand gently, and all the lambs shed their wool and transformed into children of different sizes and ages.

However, unlike the energetic lambs before, these children, now back to their original forms, were all lying on the ground, breathing evenly.

What's wrong with them?

Although he knew that this God of Fortune would not harm the child, Feng Bingwen still asked a question.

"I will send this story to the magistrate of Jinhua County in a dream. When dawn breaks, the government should send someone to take them home. Then they will wake up and forget everything they have experienced."

"Your Majesty the City God is so kind!"

Feng Bingwen sincerely praised it.

"You should have forgotten what happened during this time, but since you have the wisdom of your past life, I won't bother with this. I hope you will live a good life, walk the right path, and not stray into evil ways!"

"Your Majesty, you are overthinking this. From now on, I, Feng Bingwen, will do many good deeds and strike against any injustice I see!"

"That's excellent!"

The City God let out a sigh of praise, and then his figure slowly turned into an illusion. But Feng Bingwen suddenly remembered something and quickly called out to him.

"Sir, please wait a moment!"

"Is there anything else?"

The City God stopped abruptly.

"I dare to ask the City God to keep tonight's events a secret."

Feng Bingwen cupped his hands in greeting. In any case, what he had done tonight was still too shocking and outrageous, and the act of letting ghosts commit murder was likely to cause controversy.

Why?

The City God's lips curled slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"If this matter were to spread among the people, it would bring some uncontrollable trouble to the boy."

Feng Bingwen explained earnestly.

Are you planning to take the imperial examination?

"There is such a plan."

"If that's the case, why hide it? If such a strange event were to spread among the people, it would be much easier for you to take the imperial examinations and obtain official rank than you imagine."

"That's unnecessary. Besides, such things would only be considered strange tales. Who would take them seriously?"

"Ordinary people may regard this as strange tales, but the government will not."

The City God's tone was full of meaning. It seemed that the Great Gan dynasty was not merely a mortal dynasty.

"I'm too young; it's not the time for me to flaunt my age."

"As expected, so young, yet so mature-minded. Fine, so be it. However, I can only promise you that tonight's events will not be known in the mortal realm, but the government will certainly have a record of your actions. This is the contract between the government and us City Gods, and I will not break it."

"Ah, this!"

Feng Bingwen was shocked. How did this conversation somehow end up putting him on the government's whitelist?

"Your Majesty, I am a law-abiding citizen for two lifetimes!"

"Don't worry, it's just a record. As long as you don't do anything bad, no one will come after you."

"grown ups……"

Feng Bingwen still wanted to fight for himself, but after all this trouble, the government even put a note on his record. What good is being low-key?

Unfortunately, no matter how much Feng Bingwen called out, the City God left cleanly and quickly, disappearing in just a few breaths, leaving behind only a lost and bewildered child.

"What kind of situation is this?"

Feng Bingwen muttered to himself, then walked into the sheepfold. He looked at the sheep sleeping soundly on the ground, who wouldn't wake up anytime soon. He picked up a few, prepared a cushion for himself, lay down on it, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for the officials to arrive.

"A celestial book!"

With his eyes closed and breath concentrated, Feng Bingwen quickly conjured up the Heavenly Book, which was filled with countless rays of light. The pages of the book turned according to his will, revealing the good deeds he now possessed.

Name: Feng Bingwen

Good deeds: 13,796

Evil Deeds: One

Looking at the long list of good deeds, Feng Bingwen's breath caught in his throat. Having been poor in both his previous lives, he had always fantasized about becoming rich overnight, and now, he finally experienced what it felt like to be rich overnight.

One hundred good deeds transformed him from a frail child, who was even disturbed by wandering ghosts, into a strong and healthy child.

His 163 good deeds gave him eyes that could see through the yin and yang worlds. Although he could see more things and it might even bring some trouble to his life, it might save his life sometimes.

Now, he has become incredibly wealthy and has accumulated over 13,000 merits. He cannot imagine what divine object he would receive if he used such a large amount of merits to make a wish, or how extraordinary he would become.
