With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

After that talk outside of the city gate, they just walked in silence for half a day.

During this walk, Lin Li Zi looked like she wanted to talk to Lin Fan many times, but Lin Fan just kept walking with a straight look on his face as if he wasn't interested in talking.

So Lin Li Zi could only silently follow behind him.

After walking for half a day, they arrived in a town and that was where they would be staying for the night. It was impossible for them to reach the Roaming Mist Forest in a single day like this, so they would have to stay in this town first before heading to the Roaming Mist Forest tomorrow.

Though Lin Li Zi already knew this, she was still feeling anxious.

If they had hired a carriage, they might have been able to reach the Roaming Mist Forest sooner.

But Lin Li Zi didn't have the money for that and she didn't want to put Lin Fan out like that when he was helping her with this matter.

Though truthfully, Lin Fan could have used his pets to make things even faster. If he had used either Hi or Igneel, they would have arrived within an hour.

However, this wasn't something that he was willing to show to someone like Lin Li Zi.

Until he was certain that he could use her, he wouldn't show her anything important.

So all she could do was worry about whether she would be able to make it in time or not to save her mother.

At the same time, she was worried about finding a place to sleep for the night.

Since she didn't have enough money for a carriage, she naturally didn't have much money for an inn as well. She would have preferred to camp outside the town, but she was dragged in here by Lin Fan.

So she had no choice but to stay in an inn.

However, the inn that Lin Fan chose was just too luxurious for her…

She wanted to find another inn that would be much cheaper, an inn that was at her level of finance.

Seeing this, Lin Fan just paid for two rooms at the inn that he had chosen without a care and tossed the other key to Lin Li Zi.

Lin Li Zi was caught off guard by this before raising the key to hand back to Lin Fan and saying, "No, no, this is too good for me. I'll just find some random inn to stay in."

But Lin Fan didn't take the key back as he just said, "This is more for me than it is for you. I don't like traveling with people who don't even take care of their basic hygiene, so just take it already. Plus, I've already paid and I don't like taking back the things that I've given to others."

Lin Li Zi was once again taken aback when she heard this as she just said, "Oh."

Lin Fan didn't bother saying anything and just turned to head upstairs.

Lin Li Zi looked down at the key in her hand.

Even though Lin Fan talked in a cold and indifferent voice, she knew that he had gotten this room for her and had said all that just so she would take it.

She couldn't help feeling a strange feeling in her heart, but the worry for her mother suppressed that feeling in the end.

Since he had already said all this, the only thing that she could do was accept this kindness and take this room.

When she arrived in the room, her eyes couldn't help lighting up.

Even though this was only the best inn in a small town in this Peach Province, this room was much better than anything that she had ever lived in before.

This was just how badly she had been treated as an outsider of the Lin Family.

That was just how poor her usual living conditions were that she would even consider a small inn like this good.

But it was like a dream for Lin Li Zi to live in a room like this.

The next morning, she looked very refreshed even though she had a worried look on her face.

When Lin Fan saw her, he couldn't help wondering if she even cared about her mother at all with how she looked.

But the fact that she would do all of this told him that she did care that much about her mother.

Since that was the case…

Lin Fan bought a horse and a carriage that morning that would take them the rest of the way.

Lin Li Zi was shocked when she saw this, but Lin Fan just calmly said, "Get in or walk, take your pick."

The way that he said this was as if he really didn't care if she would get in or not.

Hearing this, Lin Li Zi just revealed a bitter smile before getting in that carriage.

She couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with a very strange look as she sat there in the carriage. It was as if she was wondering if he had done all of this just for her…

But Lin Fan also saw this and said, "I made a mistake yesterday since I wanted to get away from that crowd as soon as possible. I should have bought this carriage yesterday. All I'm doing now is correcting that mistake."

Though he sounded cold and indifferent, Lin Li Zi was already used to it.

She couldn't help revealing a smile when she heard him like this.

It was as if she had finally figured him out.

Though his words were rough, his actions…were sincere and kind.

It seemed that he just had a hard time expressing himself which she couldn't help finding cute.

Lin Fan could see the way that she looked at him, but he didn't care about that at all.

After driving the horse carriage for a bit, he brought it to a stop.

Lin Li Zi was surprised to see that they were stopping since she didn't see the Roaming Mist Forest yet, so she couldn't help asking, "Why are we stopping?"

Lin Fan just calmly pointed at a clearing by the side of the road and at the large bulls that were grazing in that field.

When Lin Li Zi saw them, she was confused at first.

But it didn't take her long to realize why he had stopped.

It was the other mission that he had accepted.

It was to hunt this group of grazing bulls.

These bulls were a breed of spirit beast called the Rampaging Bulls and they regularly attacked travelers on the road.

It was no surprise that there would be a mission to clear them out if there was a herd of these Rampaging Bulls found. After all, they hung around roads and attacked travelers regularly.

Whether it was the normal travelers or merchants, it was not good for them to leave this pack of Rampaging Bulls be.

So it was only natural that a mission would be created to hunt this herd once they were found.

But Lin Li Zi was worried about her mother and she didn't know how long it would take for Lin Fan to take down all of these Rampaging Bulls.

She had thought that he would come and look for them on their way back or even come out again on his own to look for them, but now…

This would waste the precious time that her mother had…

Lin Li Zi wanted to say something, but she found that Lin Fan had already jumped off the carriage and was already heading towards them.

She opened her mouth, but then she closed them again.

Though she was worried about her mother, she knew that it was only because of Lin Fan's kindness that she was able to come on this trip in the first place. If it wasn't for Lin Fan, she wouldn't even have the rights to go to the Roaming Mist Forest.

So if he wanted to do this mission that was his main goal first, there really was nothing that she could say.

So Lin Li Zi just gave a sigh and lowered her head as she fell into a state of worry for her mother.

But a minute later, she heard Lin Fan's voice say, "Alright, let's go."

Lin Li Zi couldn't help looking up with a surprised look as if she wanted to say something, but then she noticed that the Rampaging Bulls in front of her were gone. There were only some blood stains that were left on the ground.

She looked at those blood stains in a daze before asking, "What happened to the Rampaging Bulls? Did they get away?"

Lin Fan raised a brow and said, "I killed them and finished the mission, what else could have happened?"

Lin Li Zi revealed a shocked look when she heard this.

She was a D Rank Mercenary herself and was in the Fourth Qi Gathering Realm.

These Rampaging Bulls were in the Third Qi Gathering Realm, but a herd of them was something that even a Fourth Qi Gathering Realm Cultivator like her couldn't look down on. That was why this was a D Rank mission in the first place.

But Lin Fan had killed them all in just a minute…

Just how strong was he to accomplish something like this?

Lin Li Zi couldn't help feeling even more hope when she realized this.

It seemed that she had chosen the right person.
