With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods-Chapter 109 New Mission
When he woke up in the morning, he saw that the three girls were already gone, but he could also hear the sounds coming from downstairs which told him that they were preparing breakfast.
With a smile on his face, Lin Fan made his way down and enjoyed breakfast with the girls.
After breakfast, Lin Fan brought Lala and Xiao Yue to the Mercenary Guild.
He had promised that he would take them on a mission after he came back from the ruins mission since he had to leave them before. This was the only way he could get them to agree to patiently wait for them.
But of course, he was happy to go on this mission with them since it would allow them to spend some time together.
He had to admit that he missed them after spending that time apart to go to the ruins.
Not to mention that everything should be settled now that the Mercenary Guild had given their promise to take care of everything. Even a Foundation Realm cultivator like Tian Xue was getting involved, so he had no reason to doubt that everything would be settled.
He could finally not worry about anything and go out openly with the girls.
After they arrived at the Mercenary Guild, they found Tian Tian behind the counter as usual.
When she saw them come over, there was a blush that appeared on her face first after seeing Lin Fan, but then she greeted them with a smile, "Hey, what are you guys up to?"
Compared to before, she was much less formal when greeting them. It was something that she just did naturally after accepting her relationship with Lin Fan.
Lin Fan replied with a smile, "We're just here to get a mission."
Tian Tian suddenly revealed an excited look as she asked, "Did you find a mission you want yet?"
Lin Fan was confused when he heard this tone, but he still said, "No, not yet."
The first thing that they had done after coming into the Mercenary Guild was come to the desk to greet Tian Tian, so they hadn't even had time to look over the mission bird yet.
Hearing this, Tian Tian became even more excited as she said, "Then can you help me out with a mission?"
Lin Fan became wary when he heard this because the last mission that he was asked to do was the ruins mission. For Tian Tian to personally ask him for help, there was no doubt that the mission wasn't simple.
Tian Tian could naturally tell what he was thinking based on the expression on his face, so she said, "Don't worry, it's not what you think."
She took out a piece of paper from behind the counter for Lin Fan to see.
To his surprise, he found that it was only a D Rank mission.
This kind of mission was much too simple for him now and would be easy for him to finish. So why would Tian Tian need him to take this mission?
Seeing the confusion on his face, Tian Tian explained, "This location of this mission is a bit out of the way and the reward is low, so there hasn't been anyone that had been willing to take this mission. This mission has been just laying there for a while now and if no one takes it, it looks bad for us…"
After a pause, she said, "So I was hoping that you could take this mission for me."
Lin Fan looked over the details of a mission and found that it was just a simple mission to clear out a spirit beast that had been terrorizing a village. But when he saw where it was, he couldn't help knitting his brows since he didn't recognize it.
Tian Tian had already predicted this, so she took out a map for him and pointed out where the village was on the map.
When he looked at it, he found that it really was far away.
The closest city to this village was their Sunset City, but traveling by carriage would take at least a week to get there. Even if they were to go there with Hi's speed, it would still take at least three days.
It was understandable how this wasn't a mission that anyone wanted.
It was very far out of the way and the pay was only ten gold coins, far below what a normal D Rank mission would pay.
Lin Fan thought about it before saying, "Alright, I'll take this mission."
He didn't have to worry about things like money with the amount that was coming from the store and he didn't mind that it was far away since he was in no rush. So this mission was actually perfect for him since he had only wanted a mission to spend some time with Lala and Xiao Yue.
This far away and easy quest would be the perfect chance for that.
Tian Tian immediately revealed a happy smile and jumped over the counter to give Lin Fan a hug, but then she also quickly realized what she was doing and with a cough, she went back behind the counter with a blush on her face.
If looks could kill, all the looks around Lin Fan from jealous mercenaries would have killed him a thousand times over.
But Lin Fan ignored them as he teased Tian Tian with a smile, "You didn't have to let go that fast."
Tian Tian's face turned a bit more red before she gave another few coughs and calmed herself down. She looked at Lin Fan with a teasing smile and said, "Finish the mission and then you'll get the reward you want." f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
Lin Fan said with a chuckle, "I'll hold you to that."
Then he took the mission and headed out with Lala and Xiao Yue who had been awkwardly watching from the side. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎
As they were leaving though, Lin Fan heard something that made him stop for a second. But he quickly recovered as if nothing was wrong and headed out before anyone else noticed anything.
What had stopped him was someone asking around the Mercenary Guild for some information, but what they were asking about wasn't just anything. They were asking around for information on Xiao Yue, or rather the mission to search for the girl that Lin Fan noticed earlier.
As he was leaving, he made sure to remember that person's appearance because he was certain that this person would become an enemy in the future.
But for now, he would ignore this because he didn't want to give them any connections between Xiao Yue and that mission. That was why he had avoided mentioning that mission to Tian Tian and Tian Xue.
Since they had already gathered up supplies in Yue Lan's store, they just headed there to pick it up before saying goodbye to Yue Lan. Soon, they were on their way out of the city, heading to the location of this mission.
Of course, before leaving, Lin Fan made sure to leave two of the wolves from Fuyuki and Fubuki's pack with Yue Lan to make sure that she was safe. Even though there were guards hired to guard the shop, he didn't feel assured leaving it up to them, so he left those two wolves just in case.
For the trip itself, nothing noteworthy happened as they slowly made their way to that very isolated village. It took them longer than normal since they were traveling slower, but slower with Hi's speed was still much faster than most normal carriages.
It only took them three and a half days to arrive in the vicinity of the village.
As they came closer and closer to the village, the quality of the road really dropped which made them go even slower. However, that was to be expected since this was a very rural village that was on the edge of the wasteland that laid past it, so it was a place that people rarely visited. If there were proper roads that led to this place, that would have been even more strange.
But Lin Fan and the girls didn't mind since they were treating this as a vacation. So even if it was slow going, they were just enjoying their time together.
That was until they suddenly heard a scream coming from the forest around them.
All three of them suddenly focused their minds and turned in the direction of the scream.
After a moment's pause, all three of them jumped out of the carriage and headed off in the direction of the scream. It didn't take them long to find the source of that voice.
It was a young girl who was crouching with a basket dropped on the ground as a giant bear stood over her. This bear's stance made it very clear that it was about to attack her.
Lin Fan, Lala, and Xiao Yue gave each other nods before heading off in different directions.
The two girls charged the bear from different directions, distracting it from the young girl that it was about to attack. At the same time, Lin Fan ran right past the bear and grabbed the young girl in his arms, bringing her to safety.
The young girl was in a daze, so she didn't struggle at all as Lin Fan lifted her up, but then she said, "Wait, my basket! I still need it!"
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at the basket, but he didn't make a move to run in.
Once the two girls saw that the young girl had been saved, they pulled out their weapons and started attacking the bear.
It was an easy fight in the end since this bear was only a bear that didn't have any cultivation. The only thing that they had been worried about before was that the bear would attack the young girl.
But since she was saved, it took them just two swings each to bring the bear collapsing to the ground.
However, as the bear fell, it fell onto the young girl's basket and crushed it.
