With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

After he finished his business in the Mercenary Guild, there wasn't much else for Lin Fan to do, so he returned to the inn.

It was still the afternoon, but since Xiao Yue wasn't able to move, it wasn't as if he could go out to do the quests, so he would have to stay for the night. Not to mention that before heading out, he still had some supplies that he wanted to pick up.

But before all else, there was something that he needed to do.

As he headed back to the inn, Lin Fan couldn't help feeling worried. After all, there was still something that he had to do after getting back.

He had to have a talk with Xiao Yue about the things that he wanted.

Perhaps it wouldn't have been as difficult if it was something normal, but he was about to tell the girl that he had just slept with that he wanted a harem.

Any girl would be offended if their significant other told them that they wanted a harem, so Lin Fan knew that this wouldn't be a good situation for him to be in. However, he still couldn't give up on the dream that he had since he was a teenager.

So with this determination in his heart, he marched into the room that they had booked, but he found that Xiao Yue wasn't in the room.

All the courage that he had built up suddenly deflated as he started worrying about Xiao Yue, but not long after, she came in through the door with a towel on her shoulder while wiping her hair. It was clear that she had just come back from taking a bath.

When she came through the door, Lin Fan could even smell the beautiful scent that came from her since he was standing by the door.

She had her eyes closed when she came in since she was wiping her hair, but when she opened them to see Lin Fan, she revealed a surprised look before saying, "You're back so soon?"

Lin Fan just gave a nod in a daze before remembering what he wanted to do.

But his tempo had already been completely thrown off by this unexpected twist that he didn't know what to say.

Still, Xiao Yue had gotten better at reading Lin Fan over the past two days, so she could immediately tell that he wanted to talk about something and she asked, "Is there something you want to talk about?"

Lin Fan was once again caught off guard by how direct she was that he didn't know what to say at first, but he worked up the courage to say, "I do have something I want to talk about, but it might be hard for you to listen to."

Xiao Yue looked at Lin Fan with an attentive look, waiting for him to speak.

When he saw this, Lin Fan couldn't help feeling more nervous about what he had to say.

But he still forced himself to say, "I want a harem."

He felt that in this situation, it was better to be direct with her instead of beating around the bush. After all, only by being direct could he show that he cared about what she actually felt instead of trying to deceive her.

It wasn't a surprise to see that Xiao Yue had a surprised look on her face.

After all, this was something that a normal person couldn't accept that easily, even if they were in an ancient world where polygamy was something that was generally accepted.

No woman would ever want to share their man with someone else if they had a choice.

But after being surprised for a bit, Xiao Yue revealed a smile that Lin Fan couldn't understand.

Seeing her just stand there silently with a smile on her face, Lin Fan couldn't help being worried. Even if he didn't see any notifications pop up after he said this to Xiao Yue, it felt like she was angry at him with the way she just silently smiled at him.

So he couldn't help asking in a worried voice, "Are you angry with me? Do you hate me?"

Xiao Yue didn't answer this question, but instead she asked, "Did you already find someone else?"

Lin Fan was once again surprised when he heard this, but he truthfully gave a nod in response to this. After that nod, he carefully looked at Xiao Yue's face, waiting for any response from it.

Xiao Yue didn't show any emotions, as she waited for his answer and then when she saw him giving a nod, she just gave a sigh and said, "Well, I already expected this."

Lin Fan quickly tried to explain, but Xiao Yue stopped him by raising her hand and saying, "It's fine, I can understand what you are thinking. I just want to ask one thing."

Lin Fan was still surprised by how well this was going, so he quickly said, "Anything."

Xiao Yue looked right into his eyes and asked with a serious look, "Do you truly love me?"

Lin Fan looked right back into her eyes and was silent for a few seconds. Then with a deep breath, he said, "I do."

Xiao Yue revealed a smile when she saw this and said, "Then that's fine. I know that I can't keep someone as excellent as you all to myself." Then under her breath, she said, "Not to mention that if I have to handle that thing alone, I won't be able to survive…"

Lin Fan revealed a bit of a confused look as he asked, "Did you say something?"

Xiao Yue looked at him with a faint smile and said, "Nothing at all."

Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows as he looked at her before asking, "Are you sure that you're alright with this?"

Xiao Yue looked back into his eyes and said with a calm look, "It would be a lie to say that I'm completely fine with this." Then seeing that Lin Fan was about to say something, she cut him off by saying with a faint smile, "But right now, what I really want is for you to be happy."

Lin Fan didn't know what to say at first, but it was clear by the look in his eyes that he was touched by this. Without a word, he moved forward and took Xiao Yue in his arms before saying, "I love you."

Xiao Yue was surprised to suddenly feel the arms around her, but then she rested her head in Lin Fan's embrace, letting herself enjoy the warmth that came from his arms.

The two of them stayed like this for a while until they slowly separated from each other with blushes on their faces.

After a period of silence, Xiao Yue asked, "So, who is the person that you've set your eyes on?"

Lin Fan was still in a daze from the hug when he heard this.

He was still thinking about how good Xiao Yue smelled.

But when he heard this, he snapped out of his daze and told her everything.

After hearing the entire story, Xiao Yue slightly knitted her brows and said, "Isn't she…"

Before she could continue, Lin Fan cut her off with a few simple words, "I know."

Xiao Yue looked into Lin Fan's eyes for a few seconds before suddenly giving a sigh over the look she saw. Then she said, "So what's your plan on getting the money needed?"

Lin Fan revealed a faint smile and told her about what happened at the Mercenary Guild.

Xiao Yue knitted her brows again as she fell into deep thought.

After a few seconds of silence, she seriously looked at Lin Fan and asked, "I'll be a burden if I come with you, right?"

Lin Fan looked at her with a serious look and said, "No, you'd never be a burden."

Xiao Yue just looked at Lin Fan in a daze when she heard this, but it didn't take long before her heart and eyes filled with warmth.

After a few more seconds, she took the initiative to come forward to hug Lin Fan again, burying her head in his chest as her face turned red.

Lin Fan just put his arms around her again as they stood there in silence.

Then after another minute passed, Lin Fan suddenly asked, "Should we…?"

He hadn't finished his sentence, but the meaning in his voice was quite clear.

Xiao Yue's face turned even more red and she buried her head even deeper before her soft voice said, "It still aches…"

Lin Fan was caught off guard and didn't understand what she meant right away, but it didn't take him long to understand. After he did, he said, "Oh." Then after that he revealed a smile that had a hint of pride in it.

Xiao Yue had been peeking at Lin Fan from his embrace and when she saw this smile on his face, she jumped out of embrace and said with a fierce look, "What does that smile mean?"

Seeing this look on her face, Lin Fan raised his hands with a chuckle and said, "Nothing, nothing at all."

Hearing this, Xiao Yue angrily pouted her lips and said, "You're laughing?"

Lin Fan just revealed a faint smile without saying anything.

After letting Xiao Yue glared at him for a bit, he changed the topic by saying, "How about we get some dinner?"

It was getting late after their conversations and he was getting a bit hungry.

After glaring at Lin Fan for a bit longer, Xiao Yue gave a nod in response.

So the two of them headed out for a meal before coming back to rest up early.

After all, they had an early start tomorrow.
