Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Lin Mo was momentarily stunned.

Previously, when he had the [Panoramic Map of Dingbei Prefecture], he was able to forcibly read the memories of enemies within the Dingbei Prefecture area.

Shouldn't this feature be directly inherited when upgrading to the "Land and River Hegemony Map" game?

Is it because of my posture?

Lin Mo was unwilling to give up, so he pressed his hand down harder on Wu Liang's forehead.

System, get to work!

He roared inwardly.

But my mind remained deathly silent.

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat.

He quickly calmed himself down and opened the [Map of Mountains and Rivers] in his mind.

The simple "Memory Load" button that was originally on the [Dingbei Prefecture Panoramic View] interface is gone.

Instead, there is a more advanced-looking "Information Scan" option.

Lin Mo clicked in with unease.

A panel popped up.

[Person]: Wu Liang

[Identity]: Commandant of Iron Wall Pass

Loyalty: -100

[Special Skills]: Desertion in the face of battle (A-level), Flattery (S-level), Exploiting the local people (S+-level)

[Status]: Severely injured, extremely fearful, and experiencing prostate tension.

……

That's it?

That's all?

Where is my incredibly powerful memory-reading ability, which is practically a divine interrogation skill?

Lin Mo's CPU is about to burn out.

What the hell are you doing, system?!

Is this an upgrade or a downgrade?!

My powerful mind-reading ability just vanished like that?!

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the valley became incredibly eerie.

Lin Mo's hand was still pressed on Wu Liang's forehead, and he stood frozen in place with a complicated expression.

Qin Ruxue watched from the side, her face full of question marks.

What is my husband doing?

Some kind of unique interrogation technique?

Or... is she using some kind of divine magic that she can't understand?

Her beautiful eyes were filled with great confusion.

Wu Liang, whose forehead was being pressed by Lin Mo, was almost scared to death.

He could feel the hand above his head; it was at a normal temperature and wasn't using any force.

But the other person just held him down, motionless, with his eyes closed, muttering something under his breath.

What kind of sorcery is this?

Is he trying to suck my brains out?!

Help!

I don't want to become a dried-up corpse!

Wu Liang was so frightened that he trembled all over, and his crotch was already wet and hot.

The Xuanjia soldiers in the valley below also craned their necks, not daring to breathe.

Is the Lord of the Manor using some kind of divine power?

The fact that the city wall was built out of thin air was already outrageous enough.

What are we trying to do now?

Is it possible to steal souls from a distance?

That's so cool!

Everyone looked at Lin Mo as if he were a god, their minds racing with all sorts of unscientific speculations.

Only Lin Mo himself knew.

He's so embarrassed he could dig a White Wolf Stronghold out of the ground with his toes.

This is a massive social disaster scene, nothing more.

"cough!"

Lin Mo abruptly withdrew his hand, coughed dryly, and forcibly broke the silence.

He put his hands behind his back, turned around, and spoke slowly in a calm tone.

"Yes, it's been checked."

"This person is deeply sinful and filled with resentment; there is no cure for him."

Qin Ruxue: "?"

Xuanjia Battalion soldiers: "?"

Wu Liang: "???"

What the hell made me so resentful?

You are the one filled with resentment, your whole family is filled with resentment!

Wu Liang was internally ranting, but he didn't dare utter a single word.

Qin Ruxue finally couldn't hold back any longer.

She walked over to Lin Mo and asked in a low voice.

"What...what were you doing just now?"

She simply couldn't resist her curiosity.

Lin Mo's behavior just now—closing his eyes, reaching out his hands, and acting strangely—was really odd.

"I am examining his sins."

Lin Mo remained completely calm and composed, spouting nonsense with an air of utter seriousness.

Qin Ruxue gave him a look that said, "Keep making this up," her pretty face full of disbelief.

A mountain breeze carried the unique scent of Qin Ruxue, a mixture of blood and feminine fragrance, into Lin Mo's nostrils.

Lin Mo's heart fluttered, and he leaned close to her ear, blowing hot air into her ear in an even lower voice.

"Actually, I'm researching a new exercise method."

"This technique allows you to probe various aspects of your opponent's information through physical contact..."

"Well……"

Qin Ruxue's ears turned bright red instantly, and half of her body went limp.

That bastard!

What nonsense are you spouting in broad daylight!

She glared at Lin Mo with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance, her eyes so alluring they could practically drip water.

"Once I'm done with my work, I'll help you investigate properly..."

"roll!"

Qin Ruxue stomped her foot in anger. If there hadn't been so many people around, Lianhua Sword would have been sheathed long ago.

Seeing that his wife was about to explode, Lin Mo knew when to stop and immediately resumed his serious expression.

He turned around and waved to the guards who were holding Wu Liang down.

"Let's take this guy to Fengniang first. My wife and I will stay here... and enjoy the scenery. We'll be there shortly!"

……

Blackwind City, Garrison Command.

The entire building was pitch black, exuding a chilling aura that kept strangers at bay.

The tall iron gates were wide open, and squads of imperial guards came and went, each with a stern face and marching in unison.

Inside the main hall, Feng Niang sat in the main seat, her fingertips lightly tapping the table, as if she were thinking about something.

She was still wearing that black outfit today.

The neckline constricted her snow-white neck, but instead made her appear even more alluring and fiery.

Those long, slender, fair legs were crossed, with the toes slightly upturned, exuding a beauty that made one's heart itch.

Her gaze fell on the mountain of files in front of her, yet it seemed as if it wasn't on the files at all.

Her eyes flickered, a faint smile playing on her lips, as if she had remembered something amusing, and a blush crept across her cheeks.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the lobby.

Two guards dragged in a fat man covered in blood.

The fat man was tied up like a rice dumpling, with a wad of cloth stuffed in his mouth, and could only make muffled struggling sounds.

Feng Niang's gaze was drawn to it.

When she saw Wu Liang's disheveled appearance, a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes.

"Wow, we already have new customers?"

Her voice carried a unique charm, like a feather gently brushing against everyone's heart.

The imperial guards, dragging Wu Liang along, knelt on one knee and respectfully reported:

"Reporting to Commander Feng, this is Wu Liang, the Commandant of Iron Wall Pass. City Lord Lin ordered us to bring him here, saying... you have a way to make him talk."

"Oh? So it was someone sent by the young master?"

Feng Niang's lips curled up slightly, and her smile deepened.

She had just been thinking about that guy, and she didn't expect him to send her a "gift" so quickly.

Would you call this... telepathy?

"Giggle giggle..."

Feng Niang chuckled, then swayed her hips and slowly walked toward Wu Liang, who had been dragged into the hall.

Every step carried a captivating rhythm.

"Since he is a distinguished guest personally selected by our city lord..."

"Then I must take good care of her."

Fengniang walked up to Wu Liang and looked him up and down.

Those fox-like eyes swept over him, and finally, with the dossier in her hand, she lifted Wu Liang's chin.

"Tell me, esteemed guest, how would you like to play?"
