With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

"Huh?!"

That was Lin Fan's only answer to this.

After all, his brain just couldn't process what Ming Ze's little sister had said to him because it was just too crazy.

After being in a daze for a bit, Lin Fan finally said, "Say that again? I didn't hear that clearly."

Ming Ze's little sister said with the same smile, "Make me your woman."

Once he had made sure that his ears were working properly and he had indeed heard what he thought he heard, Lin Fan couldn't help deeply knitting his brows as he looked at Ming Ze's little sister.

After a long period of silence, he said, "Ming…"

Before he could say anything else, she was already falling forward.

Lin Fan quickly reached out his hands to support her, but she used this chance to fall into his embrace like a lover. When she landed in his arms, she nuzzled her head against his chest and said, "Call me Xiao Xin."

Ming Ze's little sister's name was Ming Xin after all.

Lin Fan knitted his brows even more, but he didn't dare move her away since he knew how fragile her body was.

He had already made a vow to the remnant of Ming Ze's soul that he would take care of his little sister to the best of his abilities, so he wouldn't do anything that would break that vow.

He had been planning on treating her like his own little sister, but then she had to throw this wrench into his plans.

Lin Fan fell into a period of deep thought while Ming Xin enjoyed the feeling of being in his embrace before he said, "Why do you want to become my woman?"

Ming Xin just simply said a single word, "Stability."

"Stability?" Lin Fan repeated with a slightly confused tone.

Ming Xin looked up and gave a nod before saying, "It's very simple, we both know that your vow isn't binding."

Lin Fan immediately said, "I already promised that I would…"

Ming Xin raised her hand and said, "Even if you promised, these kinds of promises are very weak and are easily broken. When that happens, what will happen to me?"

Seeing Lin Fan's expression that seemed like he thought otherwise, Ming Xin said, "You and I both know what the truth is, so why bother hiding it?"

Then without caring about what expression Lin Fan made, she said, "You and I both know that the only everlasting relationship is the one where both sides are receiving something. So if you make me your woman, I will do anything you want and you'll keep me safe forever. It's very simple."

Lin Fan opened his mouth to say something, but once again, Ming Xin cut him off, "I'll die for you if you want. I can do it right now."

Lin Fan's body trembled when he heard this since he could hear the seriousness in her voice.

So he said in a defeated voice, "Don't, I give up. You can be my woman."

Ming Xin revealed a wide smile when she heard this and she pressed her head against his chest while saying with a smile on her face, "Ah Fan, you won't regret this."

Lin Fan could only shake his head and give an exhausted sigh.

Since Ming Xin's body wasn't as good, Lin Fan had to stay another week in Brilliant Light City making sure that she was stable enough before setting off.

With his Appraisal Eyes, he was able to see exactly what illness she was suffering from.

However, he was surprised to find that it wasn't an illness at all. Rather, it was a special physique that Ming Xin couldn't control that was causing her body to be ill.

This physique was called the Demon Devouring Physique and it was a powerful physique.

This physique had the ability to swallow everything in this world, but to develop, it needed a large amount of energy.

Ming Xin wasn't able to provide this since she had never cultivated before, so it started feasting on her spiritual energy and her life force.

With her life force drained, her body became weaker until various parts of it came close to stopping its functions.

This was why her body was so weak and why she was so close to death.

Lin Fan really didn't have a way to help her control it, so the only thing that he could do was seal her physique.

That was where the system's shop came in.

The Dungeon Master system shop also had powerful items, but since it came from a magic based world, most of the items in the shop were magic based. There were a few pills and talismans, but the effects were limited.

There wasn't one for the problem that Lin Fan was currently facing.

It was a good thing that Lin Fan had been slowly saving his points from his daily missions, so he had enough points to buy the things he needed.

The first thing that he bought was a pill that would suppress her physique. It would force the Demon Devouring Physique to slumber and no longer release the same devouring forces as before.

This would allow Ming Xin's body to slowly recover the life energy that she had lost to this physique. However, she had lost too much in the first place because of the long term draining of the Demon Devouring Physique.

So Lin Fan also exchanged for a pill that would help her recover her life energy so that she would be able to recover faster.

He needed her to recover to a certain extent so she could endure the trip back to the dungeon town.

Once they were there, he would talk to Mu Bao Bao about Ming Xin's condition.

If possible, he wanted to see if she had a cultivation technique that would suit Ming Xin.

After all, if Ming Xin was able to cultivate, she would learn how to control the Demon Devouring Physique.

Only when she was able to control the Demon Devouring Physique would she be able to live without fear of being consumed by it.

Not to mention that the pills wouldn't be able to control her Demon Devouring Physique forever since it was still developing as she grew. So eventually she would lose control of this Demon Devouring Physique even if she were to keep using the pills.

The only path forward for her was to cultivate and learn how to control this Demon Devouring Physique.

As for whether Lin Fan should be worried about her taking revenge on him after she learned how to cultivate, he wasn't worried at all.

That was because he knew that she knew that her big brother was involved in something shady. She had turned a blind eye because she knew that he had done it for her, but she also couldn't deny that it was something bad.

So she never had any intentions of taking revenge in the first place.

In fact, she even felt a bit of gratitude towards Lin Fan for stopping her brother.

She knew what kind of personality her brother had and if he didn't have a choice, he would have never done something like this. So she was grateful that Lin Fan had stopped him before he had taken it too far and had hurt himself too much.

Not to mention that after Lin Fan agreed to take her as his woman, he had seen the affection notifications.

Since he had already agreed to make her his woman, he had accepted the tame prompt that the system had given him.

So with this bond between them, it was even more unlikely that she would ever betray him or try to get revenge on him.

After she had taken the pill that recovered her life energy, Lin Fan was surprised by how she acted.

She had gone from a fragile little girl who was trapped in bed to a very active girl who dragged him all over Brilliant Light City. He really couldn't understand where she was hiding all that energy in that tiny body…

Well, it wasn't that tiny either.

It had been hidden under the blankets when he had visited her last and he had been too stunned by her proposition to notice, but the figure that she had was anything but childish…

She was only thirteen years old and she had already developed this much, it was hard to imagine how much she would develop when she was older. She might even be a match for Yue Lan…

But of course, he had no intention of laying a single finger on her.

As a man from Earth, he still firmly believed that a girl should be of legal age before he laid a finger on them.

So right now, Ming Xin was still just a little sister in his eyes even though she acted like she was his lover.

What Lin Fan didn't know was that marriage at the age of thirteen was common in this ancient world since that was what was considered the legal age. Once a woman was capable of reproducing, they were considered of legal age and were married off.

After all, other than cultivators, most normal people in this ancient cultivation world had short lifespans. If they waited too long to get married, it would be very likely that they would die before they even had the chance to give birth to children since this was a dangerous world.

In addition to the evil bandits and cultivators running all over, there were plenty of powerful spirit beasts wandering the wild.

It was very easy for a normal human without any cultivation to die in this world.

So they had to make the most of their time and leave behind their bloodline.

But this was a very foreign concept for Lin Fan.

After taking care of the matter of Ming Xin, Lin Fan wrapped up his business in Brilliant Light City.

First, he would no longer be using the manor that he had been using this entire time, so he had to find someone to take care of it for him.

He chose Ouyang Qian for that along with Lu'er and Lan'er.

After all, they would be staying in Brilliant Light City to take care of the branch store, so they wouldn't be heading back with him.

Since they had supported him this entire time, he felt that he should reward them with something for everything they did.

He chose to give them the manor and let the three of them live in it.

At the same time, he had Ouyang Qian hire a few more servants so Lu'er and Lan'er could just live without worries and do the job of being Ouyang Qian's bodyguard instead.

The three girls were sad to see him leave, but the night before he went, they made sure to give him a proper goodbye.

They weren't able to come and see him off the next morning, but their feelings were made very clear to him as they were left without any strength on the bed in the manor.

Lin Fan took one final look at Brilliant Light City with a smile on his face before heading off in his carriage back to the dungeon town.
