Dual Transmigration: American Prison, Surviving to a Fantasy Development Stage

Smith's expression darkened slightly, but he maintained a strange calm. He turned to Sarah and responded in English, his tone still gentle but with a hint of defense: "Madam, you have a deep misunderstanding of our beliefs."

What you're referring to are just a few extreme Mormons.

The law does stipulate monogamy, but God is the higher law.

It is God who guides us to build a sacred family.

Those sisters chose this life voluntarily; they find spiritual fulfillment and are cared for in the community.

As for welfare, it is their legal right to receive government subsidies as single mothers, which allows them to better raise their children and is also a contribution to society.

"Fuck you, Smith!"

McKenna finally couldn't take it anymore. Her face darkened, she walked over and stood between Lin Feng and Smith, saying to Smith without any politeness:

"This is my birthday party. I invited Lin Feng as my friend and guest, not to listen to your sermons and recruit members."

I'm warning you, if you continue to promote your stuff here and try to harass my customers, don't blame me for being impolite.

I will immediately ask all of you to leave my ranch and go back to your Salt Lake City.

Smith shrugged. "Okay."

A helpless smile appeared on his face, and he finally stopped his incessant persuasion.

Smith looked at Lin Feng again, his eyes becoming eager once more, and said in Chinese, "Lin, your abilities are a gift from God, meant for you to lead the world and establish an order that is more in line with God's will."

As long as we listen to God's will, we will surely enter heaven after death and meet God.

Our leader has over 100 wives and over 500 children, which is clear proof of God's blessing.

You are the living prophet of our time.

Your coming here today must be God's guidance.

Our Mormon Church's greatest tenet is that humans can become gods, that humans can become gods through spiritual practice. Do you believe that?

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I believe that."

Upon hearing this, Smith was overjoyed.

"With such insight, you must be God's successor."

After saying that, he beckoned to his four younger sisters and whispered something. The four girls hesitated for a moment and slowly moved closer to Lin Feng.

Sarah's chest heaved with anger. She glared at Smith and forcefully pulled Lin Feng toward the other side of the campfire: "Darling, let's get away from this lunatic."

McKenna followed, her face apologetic, and handed Lin Feng a bottle of chilled beer, saying in a low voice, "Lin, I'm so sorry."

I met them on the road in the evening. Their car had broken down, and since it was getting dark and there was no other place to stay for dozens of miles around, I let them come here temporarily.

I didn't expect Joseph Smith to be so persistent.

If you feel uncomfortable, I can have them leave right now and spend the night in the barn or tool shed.

Lin Feng took the beer, took a sip, shook his head, and said calmly, "It's nothing, let him say what he wants."

Sarah wasn't so patient. As McKenna got closer, she complained in a voice only the two of them could hear, her dissatisfaction undisguised: "Look at the kind of people you've invited."

A cult member ruined the atmosphere of a perfectly good party.

McKenna's face also showed a hint of embarrassment and helplessness. She shrugged again and explained in a low voice, "I'm really sorry, Sarah."

I really didn't know that this Joseph Smith had this kind of identity.

I guarantee they will leave my ranch the moment it's light tomorrow.

At this moment, Lin Feng said, "Alright, let's not talk about this for now."

Tonight is McKenna's birthday party, so let's enjoy her birthday first.

Upon hearing this, McKenna looked at Lin Feng with more affection in her eyes, and nodded with a smile: "You're right, Lin."

She snapped her fingers and shouted to her friends around the campfire, "Hey! Music! Give us something energetic!"

The previously soothing background music was immediately switched to a fast-paced, Western-style country dance tune.

McKenna swayed gently to the rhythm, then gracefully extended her hand to Lin Feng with a warm smile: "Brave cowboy, may I have this dance?"

Lin Feng waved his hand, "No."

"It's okay, I can..."

Sarah immediately stepped forward, naturally taking McKenna's arm and interrupting her, "He won't, but I will."

"Come on, McKenna, I'll dance with you. Let's see if Texas girls' dancing skills are really as wild as the legends say."

Her actions carried a hint of challenge, but were also intended to distance Lin Feng from McKenna's direct invitation.

McKenna paused for a moment, then laughed heartily: "Sure!"

She took Sarah's hand, and the two hot, very different beauties quickly started dancing to the rhythm.

Sarah's dance moves were sexy and graceful, while McKenna's were full of power and wildness. The two quickly became the focus of attention around the campfire, attracting everyone's attention and whistles.

Just as Lin Feng's attention was drawn to the dance, Joseph Smith seized the opportunity and quietly approached with his four docile sisters.

"Lin, your ability means you have God's mark."

You are destined to enter a higher level of heaven.

And the woman who marries you will share this glory and receive the same mark.

He turned to the side and gestured to the four girls behind him who were looking down, somewhat shy but also expectant. "Look, my sisters are all devout and kind. They are ideal partners."

What do you think of them?

Lin Feng glanced at the four similar faces. Too lazy to be polite, he said directly, "Not good."

He then asked a practical question: "Since your church advocates polygamy, then only a few men are destined to have multiple wives."

What about men who can't find a wife, or who can't find a wife at all?

What will they do?

"Oh, you mean those 'lost boys'?"

They are also brothers, and the church will arrange for them to perform more important tasks, such as being sent around the world to spread the gospel and promote our Mormon doctrines.

This is also a sacred mission.

"Spread the gospel?" Lin Feng raised an eyebrow. "Like you, go preach the gospel."

"Yes, I was sent to Taiwan as a missionary after I came of age, for a total of two years."

"Who pays for the expenses? Who covers the food, drinks, and travel costs?"

Smith explained, "The expenses are borne by themselves; it's all for the sake of faith."

"Moreover, one-tenth of our income as believers should be given to the church as a 'tithing,' which is the foundation for gaining access to the temple and winning greater blessings."

Hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel amused.

The church is still better at making money.

High-ranking believers have many wives and concubines and enjoy everything, while lower-ranking believers can't even get a wife. They have to pay out of their own pockets and leave their hometowns to recruit people for the church, and they have to hand over a portion of the money they earn.

Systemic PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics.

The power of brainwashing from childhood is indeed astonishing.

However, Lin Feng also understood that the United States is a country with a very strong religious tradition.

Even the US dollar bill has the phrase "In God We Trust" printed on it.

He waved his hand and said to Smith, "Alright, Mr. Smith, you don't need to waste your time on me."

I have absolutely no interest in joining the Mormon Church.

Smith, however, persisted, asking, "Didn't you just say that you believe humans, through some form of cultivation or other means, could potentially reach a transcendent or even 'godlike' state?"

"I believe that," Lin Feng admitted, "but I don't think your Mormon sect can cultivate into gods."

"Do you think there's anyone in your Mormon Church more capable than me?"

Smith paused for a moment when asked the question, and hesitated for a moment, "There may not be any miracles that can be shown so directly like you have at the moment."

But as long as one adheres to the righteous path and persists in faith and spiritual practice, receiving divine revelation and power is inevitable…

Lin Feng was too lazy to listen to his empty promises anymore. "If you find someone better than me to convince me, maybe I'll join the Mormon Church."

Smith watched Lin Feng's retreating figure, still unwilling to give up, but he didn't go forward to say anything more.

Instead, they had a new idea.
