With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Lin Fan couldn't help revealing a smile when he saw this and he asked, "Is it a problem that you're still alive?"

Tian Tian looked up at him with the same shocked look before suddenly breaking out in laughter.

She kept laughing for a while before saying, "Should I ask?"

Lin Fan shook his head before saying with a serious look, "All you need to know is that you're healed and those two are dead."

Tian Tian looked into his eyes for a bit before realizing that she was still in his embrace. Her face turned a bit red as she moved out of his embrace.

Lin Fan couldn't help saying with a faint smile, "You didn't have to leave that quickly."

When she heard this, her face couldn't help turning even more red. However, she quickly recovered and asked, "What about the ruins? What about that 'dungeon core' as you called it? What happened to that?"

Lin Fan gave a shrug and said, "I left it as it was, you can explore it further if you want."

But before Tian Tian could reply, there was a large sound that suddenly came from behind them. Both of them quickly turned in response to this and they saw the cave behind them collapsing into the ground.

They were quickly hit with a wave of dust and after a few minutes when the dust settled, there was a hole in front of them where the cave had been.

It had been so loud that even the Mercenary Guild guards that were guarding the cave couldn't help leaving their post to see what happened.

Seeing Tian Tian standing in front of the collapsed cave, they couldn't help feeling a bad feeling. The leader of their group came forward to ask, "Tian Tian, what happened here?"

Tian Tian turned to look at this person with a confused look.

Please, even she didn't know what just happened alright? Why were you asking her?

But still, it wasn't as if she could just stand there in a daze, so she turned to ask Lin Fan, "Do you know what happened here?"

Lin Fan looked at her with the same confused look and said in a serious voice, "I have no idea."

Tian Tian just looked at Lin Fan for a few seconds, but then she said, "Alright, then we'll have to investigate why it suddenly collapsed like this…But before that, we have to report back to the Mercenary Guild."

Tian Tian turned back to the leader of the guards and said, "This cave has collapsed for an unknown reason. I need to go back and report to see what we'll be doing next here. All of you should remain on guard for now."

The leader and the rest of the guards all looked worried since they thought that this might be blamed on them, but since Tian Tian had already given her orders, there was nothing else that they could do.

As for the rest of the mercenaries that went in, they all couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief.

If they hadn't followed Lin Fan, perhaps they might have been buried inside of the ruins. They couldn't help shuddering whenever this thought passed through their minds.

They also looked at Lin Fan with a grateful look.

As the guards were about to leave, Tian Tian suddenly remembered something and stopped them by asking, "Did you guys see anyone passing by here earlier?"

The guards were surprised to hear this question from Tian Tian, but the leader said, "No, there was no one that passed by here at all. There wasn't anyone that passed by the checkpoint either."

Tian Tian knitted her brows when she heard this.

When the leader of the guards saw this, he immediately thought that something bad must have happened, so he couldn't help asking in a shaky voice, "Is something wrong?"

Tian Tian didn't reply at first, but then she looked back up at him and said, "It's fine, you can go and do your jobs."

The leader and the other guards looked at each other and still felt that something was off, but since Tian Tian wasn't saying anything, there wasn't anything else that they could do.

After they left, Tian Tian was still in thought for a bit longer before turning to the other mercenaries and saying, "Our mission is done for now, let's go back and report in."

The other mercenaries looked at each other before revealing relieved smiles.

They thought that they would have to keep investigating these ruins since they had collapsed right after they had gone into them. They were even worried that they would be blamed for the collapse.

However, it seemed like this wasn't to be the case.

So everyone quickly entered the carriage and started going on the road back to the Mercenary Guild.

It was already very late and the gates were certainly closed at this time, but if they headed out now, by the time that they arrived back at the city, the city gates should be open.

They had been up all day, so as soon as they sat down in the carriage, many of the mercenaries couldn't help drifting off to sleep.

Everything that happened was certainly tiring.

Only Lin Fan and Tian Tian stayed awake.

Lin Fan had a higher level of cultivation than the rest, so he needed less sleep than them and Tian Tian had been sleeping during Lin Fan's fight, so she wasn't as tired as the other mercenaries.

Once the other mercenaries had fallen asleep, the two of them moved aside to have a private conversation.

Lin Fan was the one who spoke first as he asked, "Why did you block that blow for me?"

Tian Tian didn't reply right away as she lowered her head, as if she was thinking about something. Then after a long period of silence, she said, "I don't know either. When I saw the blade appear, my body was already moving and by the time I reacted, the blade had already stabbed me."

Lin Fan looked right at her, as if he was trying to figure something out.

But the system had already given him his answer…

Tian Tian was actually feeling conflicted right now.

She didn't know why she felt this way, but she was feeling quite strange right now.

The boy…the man in front of her, when they first met, she had only seen him as a young man with potential. But after two months, he had become a man that was even stronger than her and could give her a sense of security.

It was like suddenly seeing the little brother you grew up with becoming a man…

It was a very strange feeling.

But the worst part was that she wasn't against this feeling.

She just didn't know how to approach it.

After a long period of silence, Lin Fan was the one that said, "If there is anything that you need, just tell me. After all, you did save my life."

When Tian Tian heard this, there was a tinge of sadness that suddenly hit her heart and appeared on her face.

Lin Fan knew that he had made a mistake as soon as he spoke, but when he saw the look of sadness on her face, he made up his mind.

He took her in her arms and said, "Well, if you don't mind, how about becoming mine then?"

Tian Tian's heart suddenly jumped into her throat as she couldn't believe what Lin Fan said. Even if she had teased him before, she had never expected him to be this direct, especially since she knew what kind of person he was.

But her heart couldn't help melting as Lin Fan took her in his arms.

After taking a few seconds to organize her feelings, she gave a nod and said, "Alright."

Since Lin Fan had already made his move, it wasn't as if there was anything left for her to hesitate about. She already knew about all his girls and she knew what he wanted, but she didn't mind that since she had already fallen.

As he heard this, Lin Fan said in his mind, "Yes."

Once he did, there was the white light that appeared around Tian Tian before quickly disappearing.

Then he reached his hand out to take her chin and raised it so that she was looking at him. Seeing the flush on her fair and beautiful cheeks, he couldn't take it as he leaned in to give her a kiss.

But right before he could, there was noise that came from behind them.

The two of them suddenly separated as Huo Duo came over and asked, "What's going on? Are we almost back to the city?"

Lin Fan and Tian Tian both glared at him which scared Huo Duo, but Lin Fan still said, "We have some time, why don't you go back to sleep?"

When Huo Duo heard this, he couldn't help feeling a chill run down his spine.

The way that Lin Fan said it, it was almost as if he was telling Huo Duo to go to sleep forever…

Huo Duo didn't know why Lin Fan was acting this way, but he knew better than to push his buttons, so he gave an awkward smile and said, "I'll take you up on that."

Then he quickly moved to the other side of the carriage where everyone else was gathered and pretended to go to sleep.

Of course, with the mood ruined, it wasn't as if either of them could continue. Not to mention that there was the risk of someone waking up at any moment like what had happened just now.

So Lin Fan just leaned in and said, "Come to my house tonight."

Tian Tian jolted and a blush appeared on her cheeks, but she still gave a nod in the end.
