With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

After waiting for a bit, Lin Fan then asked, "What are you planning on doing now? Do you have family members that you can go back to?"

Even if he had already "tamed" her, Lin Fan wasn't planning on making Xiao Yue go with him.

After all, if he were to do that, what difference was there between him and the bandits?

So if she did have family to return to, he would try to help her in any way that he could.

However, when this topic was brought up, the smile instantly disappeared from Xiao Yue's face as she lowered her head. There was a mist that also appeared in her eyes, but it didn't seem like she was about to cry.

After a long silence, she said, "They're all dead. They killed my entire village before kidnapping me…"

Lin Fan immediately swallowed the next words that he had been about to say. Even as insensitive as he was, he knew when he had stepped on a landmine.

After a long period of silence, he asked, "Then, do you want to come with me?"

Xiao Yue was surprised when she heard this, but then she asked, "Are you sure you want me to come with you? After all, you should know what they were after…"

Lin Fan didn't hesitate at all as he said with a shrug, "Even if it wasn't for you, there's another reason for them to hate me. So why would I need to care if that's the case?"

Xiao Yue felt a warm feeling appear in her heart after hearing this as a mist came over her eyes.

[Xiao Yue is touched by your words. Affection has increased by 5.]

After a pause, she finally said, "Alright, I'll go with you."

Then right after, she asked in a voice that seemed like she had suddenly thought of something, "Right, I never got to ask, what were you doing fighting these bandits?"

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile before saying, "I'm just a wandering cultivator, but they caught me, so I had no choice but to fight for my life."

When he finished, Xiao Yue immediately revealed a shocked look as she asked, "Young master, you're a cultivator?"

She never thought that this young man in front of her would be one of those aloof cultivators with the way he acted, but when she carefully thought about it, she realized that it made sense. After all, unless he was a cultivator, how could he have easily taken care of these bandits by himself?

As for Lin Fan, he couldn't help saying, "Young master? Why are you calling me that?"

Xiao Yue was jolted from her thoughts when she heard this before saying, "You're the one who saved me, so I should be serving you. What else would I call you if not "young master"?"

Lin Fan hadn't been someone special back on Earth, so he wasn't that used to being addressed this way. However, he knew that this was how it was in this world and it would be easier for them if she addressed him as such.

It definitely wasn't because he liked hearing her call him young master or anything.

Seeing that Lin Fan didn't say anything else on this matter, Xiao Yue asked, "Young master, what did you do with the belongings of the bandits? We should organize everything before we head to the city."

Lin Fan quickly asked, "City? You know the way to the city?"

Xiao Yue revealed a confused look when she heard this and she asked, "Isn't it just down the road? Doesn't everyone know that?"

Before Lin Fan arrived in this world, the previous owner of this body had been taken care of by his relatives before being dumped into the wilderness, so he didn't even know where he was. Not to mention knowing that there was a city just down the road.

Still he couldn't help feeling awkward seeing the natural look on Xiao Yue's face.

After a slight pause, he said, "There are some things that I do know and some things that I don't know, that's just how it is."

The way he said it was very righteous, but Lin Fan himself was dying on the inside when he said this.

Still, it had the effect that he wanted as Xiao Yue gave an understanding nod. Then Xiao Yue asked, "What did you do with the money that the bandits had?"

This time Lin Fan didn't hesitate as he said, "I threw it into the ditch with the bandits."

Xiao Yue looked at him like he was an idiot as she said, "What did you do that for?"

Lin Fan was confused as he said, "It's dirty money, so we shouldn't take it, right?"

The look of exasperation on Xiao Yue's face became deeper as she said, "Why shouldn't we take it? Will it do any good to the people that it was taken from if it's just left on the side of the road?"

Lin Fan was about to answer with how it was just right to not get involved with dirty money, but then he realized that she was right, making him swallow those words.

The other argument that he had was that they could be traced with this dirty money, but then he realized that this world was completely different from the technologically advanced world that he came from. This world was an ancient world, which meant that technology wasn't as developed as it had been on Earth.

Even if he took the money, there was no way for them to track them or was there a way to suddenly notice that there was an increase in funds in his bank account since recordkeeping wasn't as developed. Rather, no one would actually care if there was a sudden increase in funds in his account since they didn't track things like income and such.

Seeing the look on Lin Fan's face, Xiao Yue gave a sigh before heading to the side of the road.

When Lin Fan saw this, he immediately came over and said, "Wait, let me do it. You can check the carriage to see if there's anything useful we can use."

Xiao Yue immediately said, "Young master, you should leave these things to me…"

But before she could finish, Lin Fan raised his hand and said, "I'm a man, just let me take care of these things."

Lin Fan at least had this kind of pride in him.

Hearing these words, Xiao Yue's cheeks couldn't help turning a bit red.

She had always tried to do her best to put on a strong appearance because she knew that as a woman, she had to work twice as hard to get what men would naturally get and she didn't want to rely on men for anything.

However, when Lin Fan acted this way, she couldn't help feeling the warmth that came from having a man take care of her. She had never felt this way before, but it seemed different when it came from Lin Fan.

[Xiao Yue is touched by your words. Affection has increased by 5.]

After pausing for a few seconds, she gave a nod in response and turned to head back to the carriage.

Lin Fan turned his attention to the ditch and when he looked in, he couldn't help scrunching his face.

This ditch was deep and it had rained heavily two days ago, so the ditch was still filled with water. Mixed with the corpses that had been thrown in, it had already started to stink.

Still, he had no choice but to jump in and dig around through the corpses of the bandits.

After digging through all the corpses, he was able to find several wallets that had varying amounts of money in them, as well as a map that wasn't too wet since it was on a corpse that was atop the pile of corpses, so it hadn't been sitting in the water.

As for the clothes…While Lin Fan's own clothes were ripped and covered in blood, he didn't want to wear the bloody clothes of a dead man. He just hoped that there would be some clothes for him in the horse carriage.

When he got back, he saw Xiao Yue on the ground with items spread in front of her, which were the items that she pulled out from the carriage.

There was a bag of food and water and luckily, there were a few sets of clothes. Among these clothes was a very skimpy outfit which Lin Fan could only assume would have been forced onto Xiao Yue before she was presented to this young master Shen that the bandits mentioned previously.

But when he looked at the outfit and he looked at Xiao Yue, he couldn't help imagining how she would look and almost got a nosebleed.

Luckily for him, Xiao Yue was too focused on sorting out the items that she didn't notice this look from him.

After she was done, she handed him a set of clothes and said, "Here, you can change into these."

However, Lin Fan looked at the clothes in her hands before turning his head to say, "You can go first."

Xiao Yue looked at him before giving a nod and saying, "Alright, I'll go first, but no peeking." Then after a slight pause, she said in a softer voice, "Well, maybe one peek."

Lin Fan thought he heard something and quickly turned his head as he asked, "What did you say?"

Xiao Yue's cheeks turned a bit red before she quickly said, "Nothing, nothing at all." Then she ran off into the carriage to change.

Lin Fan watched her run off and couldn't help giving a chuckle, but he did the gentlemanly thing and waited in the end.

However, in his mind, he couldn't help thanking the god of Earth for sending him here and giving him the skill that he gave him. It seemed like he had been wrong about this skill all along, it was much more broken than it seemed.

Perhaps it could even give him the dream that he had had since he had been on Earth.

The dream of making a harem for himself…

Of course, that dream wasn't possible on Earth because of polygamy laws, but here, it was possible. After all, in his memories, even the father of the previous owner of this body had a wife and several mistresses.

This was a land where strength spoke above all and as long as you were strong enough, you could have as many women as you wanted.

Lin Fan decided that he would live his second life to the fullest and achieve this dream.

If only the god of Earth knew about this…his eyes would have turned green with jealousy.

After all, if he knew what the skill he gave Lin Fan could do, he would have regretted giving it to Lin Fan instead of using it for himself.

Even if he was a god, that didn't mean that he didn't want a harem for himself…
