With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

When the next morning came, Lin Fan and Xiao Yue were complete opposites of each other.

Lin Fan had a refreshed look on his face, while Xiao Yue had an exhausted look, like she had just come back from a long battle.

After waking up and seeing Lin Fan's refreshed face, the first thing that Xiao Yue did was punch his arm and say with pouty lips, "This is all your fault."

Lin Fan revealed a faint smile that had a trace of pride in it, but he quickly changed that to a humble smile as he said, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Xiao Yue looked at his face with pouty lips at first, but then she broke out in a giggle and said, "Make me breakfast and we'll call it even."

Lin Fan gave a bow and said, "Yes, your highness."

Xiao Yue laughed even more at this as she said, "What's with that act? Who are you trying to impress?"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "It's all for you."

Xiao Yue was sent into a daze when she saw this smile, but then her face was covered in a blush as she couldn't help looking away. After all, the way that Lin Fan was looking at her was just too dazzling for her to look at directly.

At the same time, there was a stream of warmth that suddenly filled her chest.

It was in this warm atmosphere that they spent their morning having breakfast.

Once breakfast was over, Lin Fan checked on Fubuki again before heading out of the Pet Storage Space.

Since Xiao Yue was still sore because of what happened last night, Lin Fan wasn't willing to let her out since it would be hard for her to move. So Lin Fan left her in the Pet Storage Space as he called out Hi to ride back to town. Though, it would be a lie if he said that he didn't miss her pressing against his back as he rode Hi.

After evolving into a Gehenna Horse, Hi's speed was much greater compared to before. It had even reached the point where Hi could run circles around its past self as a normal horse.

It took only around an hour before Hi reached the outskirts of the city.

Since Lin Fan had come out of the city with Xiao Yue, he had no choice but to call her out of the Pet Storage Space so they could enter the city together without raising suspicions.

Of course, he waited until he was as close as he could be to the city to pull her out without any witnessing.

With their mercenary licenses, they were able to quickly make it through the line and they were even given preferential treatment because of Lin Fan reaching the C Rank.

However, the sharp eyes of the guards didn't miss the strangeness with Xiao Yue.

One of the guards asked Lin Fan out of concern since Lin Fan had been the one talking, "Is your companion alright? Does she need some help?"

When Lin Fan heard this, he awkwardly scratched his head with an awkward smile on his face. But of course, there was no hiding the trace of pride that was in his eyes.

Xiao Yue on the other hand immediately revealed a blush and punched Lin Fan in the arm when she saw this.

These guards saw all kinds of people, so their social skills were quite developed. It wasn't hard for the guards to understand what was going on between the two of them, so the guard that asked the question said, "Alright, you can go ahead."

Lin Fan gave a nod and took back their paperwork before heading into the city while supporting Xiao Yue.

As the two of them entered the city, they heard the whispers of the guards from behind them with their heightened senses as cultivators.

"Young people really know how to have fun, don't they?"

"Do you remember the last time you had fun like that?"

"You'd have to ask my wife. It all depends on how she's feeling."

"Ha, ha, ha, who knew you'd be so whipped after getting married."

As they walked through the streets, Lin Fan asked Xiao Yue, "Are you going to be like that when we…"

He left his words hanging, but just that was enough to make a blush appear on Xiao Yue's face again.

She pinched his arm and said, "Keep teasing, that's all you know how to do."

Lin Fan just revealed a smile in response to this.

After bringing Xiao Yue to their room at the inn, Lin Fan headed off to the Mercenary Guild alone to turn in the mission.

Once he was gone, Xiao Yue sat there on the bed and slowly started taking in the spiritual energy around her.

She knew that she was still too weak to follow Lin Fan properly, so whenever she had some free time, she would always try to cultivate.

Now that the Daoist Seed had already been used, the benefits still lasted, which made her cultivation much faster than before. She could already feel the bottleneck of the next level approaching.

If she continued like this, it wouldn't take her long to break through.

Especially with how often Lin Fan shared the benefits of the Daoist Seed with her…

At the Mercenary Guild, Lin Fan handed in the Flame Salamander and the herb requested to the receptionist on duty.

For once, neither Lala or Tian Tian were at the receptionist desk, so there was a new receptionist that helped him. She was very courteous and did her job properly, but Lin Fan couldn't help wondering where the two of them were, so he asked, "Are Lala and Tian Tian out?"

The receptionist said, "They were pulled away for some urgent work, so they aren't here today? Do you need them for something?"

Lin Fan quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, nothing like that. I was just wondering why I didn't see them today."

The receptionist gave a nod and didn't say anything else since this was quite a normal thing to say.

Since the Flame Salamander was too big, the receptionist led Lin Fan to the Mercenary Guild's butchering area.

This was the area where mercenaries could sell any spirit beasts or normal beasts that they caught outside of their missions. The Mercenary Guild would pay a competitive price, but if the mercenaries were not satisfied with this price, they were free to take their catch to another place to sell.

But whether they would be able to find someone to sell it to was a big problem.

That was the advantage of selling with the Mercenary Guild, they would always be buying.

The Mercenary Guild had a giant network across the continent, so there was no lack of buyers for them. As long as they took in some spirit beast or normal beast materials, they would have someone already lined up to buy it.

But of course, such a convenient service had a fee attached to it, which was a small fee that the Mercenary Guild took as a middle seller.

Lin Fan raised his hand and then out of the ring on his finger, the giant Flame Salamander appeared.

This was a trick that Lin Fan used.

The Flame Salamander had been stored inside of Lin Fan's Pet Storage Space, but he had played around with controlling the portal that appeared when he opened the Pet Storage Space. He had reached the point where he could control it to be small enough to be a grain of dust and still let things come out.

So he opened the portal where the ring on his hand was and made it seem like that ring on his hand was a Spatial Storage Ring.

When the Mercenary Guild staff saw this, they didn't say anything since they were familiar with Spatial Storage Rings. They knew what the ring on Lin Fan's hand should be, so they didn't bring any attention to it at all.

But the receptionist couldn't help being surprised.

She had some information on Lin Fan since she had been there when Tian Tian had tested Lin Fan, so she had heard a bit about him, which was also the reason why she was taking care of him when Tian Tian and Lala were gone.

With his cultivation level, he shouldn't have this kind of Spatial Storage Ring since these things were expensive and rare. Even cultivators that were at a higher level than him would find it hard to get a ring like this.

But she was also a young girl and she liked to fantasize, so she immediately came up with a backstory for Lin Fan.

He had to be a young master from some family that was out for training without any support from his family, which was why he had this Spatial Storage Ring. This was probably just one of the only things that he had been given on this training journey.

Lin Fan didn't bother explaining as he finished handing off the things for his mission. But then after that, he also took out the Inferno Swan and the small bird that Xiao Yue and Fuyuki had hunted.

All of these had already been butchered, so there was no need for butchering service. However, when the Mercenary Guild's butchers saw this, they couldn't help clicking their tongues.

One of them, who was clearly the leader, asked Lin Fan, "Kid, did you butcher these yourself?"

Lin Fan just gave a nod in response.

The leader gave a sigh before saying, "Bring them here next time or else it'll be a waste."

Lin Fan's face turned red when he heard this, but he still gave a nod in response since he knew that this person was just being nice to him.

After handing it all over, Lin Fan earned over two thousand and three hundred gold coins.

With just these two missions and the corpses that he turned in, he had earned close to half of what he needed!
