With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods-Chapter 81 Fireworks

The leader of the guards quickly turned in the direction of the person who said this and slapped him in the back of the head.

The guard looked at the leader with an aggrieved look, but he quickly shrank under the sharp gaze of the leader.

The leader of the guards quickly turned to look in Young Master Ye's direction, but he found that he didn't care about what the guard had said. Young Master Ye was still staring in the direction that Lin Fan had left in.

Seeing this, he couldn't help giving a sigh of relief.

If it was before, the young master would have no doubt cut the person who had said this down on the spot.

While they were the death squad, they were still just servants of the Ye Family.

How could servants ever disrespect their masters like this and still be allowed to live?

The masters would have to kill the servant who disrespected them or they would receive no respect from their servants.

After a long period of silence, Ye Tian Xie finally turned back to look at the guards and said, "Forget everything that you saw and heard today. We found the egg by chance, that is all."

All the guards revealed stunned looks when they heard this, but this wasn't an expression that was strange for them anymore. The number of times that they had been shocked today was more than they had been shocked during the entire year.

But the guards all quickly bowed their heads and said, "Yes, young master."

They were the death squad of the Ye Family for a reason. Other than their skills, they also had a loyalty that would allow them to die for the Ye Family without any hesitation.

As long as it was a member of the Ye Family that gave them the order, they would follow it without any questions. Let alone if it came from Young Master Ye who was going to become the next head of the Ye Family. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

Ye Tian Xie gave a nod before his eyes turned cold and he said, "Take care of our pursuers."

The death squad once again gave nods in response before flying away to deal with the people coming for them.

Once he was alone again, Ye Tian Xie turned in the direction that Lin Fan had left in and couldn't help revealing a smile before saying, "He really is interesting."

…

Far away in the forest, Lin Fan suddenly received another notification.

[Ye Qing Huan has been intrigued by you. Affection has increased by 10.]

"Eh?"

That was the only thing that Lin Fan could say when he saw this notification.

As far as he could tell, there wasn't anyone else that had been in that area with the Ye Family group, so why would there be this sudden increase in affection from this person that shouldn't have been there?

Unless…

Could it possibly be that…?

Ye Tian Xie had his little sister with him during this time and she had been hiding while he had met the Ye Family group?

Was that why she had seen everything and there was that sudden increase in affection?

But if she had been there, where had she been hiding that he wasn't able to find her at all?

He couldn't help feeling admiration for the Ye Family in general.

The older brother was able to see through everything that he was thinking and the entire situation with just a single glance and the little sister was able to hide herself so well that Lin Fan wasn't even able to find a trace of her. This was without a doubt that had many skilled individuals.

It was a good thing that Lin Fan had chosen to give the egg to them and built a relationship with them.

But then as he thought about it, he couldn't help wondering why he didn't get any affection from Ye Tian Xie.

Hayase and his other male pets had proven that he could obtain affection from males as well, so it should only make sense that Ye Tian Xie would give him affection if he was willing to accept his offering. Unless, Ye Tian Xie had only viewed him as a tool the entire time…

That really was quite the terrifying thought…

He just hoped that Ye Qing Huan would talk some sense into her older brother for him…

…

After Lin Fan returned to the city, the first thing that he had done was head to the Mercenary Guild and cancel his mission.

After all, if he were to show up in the city with the corpse of the Blaze Salamander, there was no doubt that it would raise questions…

To avoid being implicated in this, it was better for him to give up this mission even if he had to pay the fines for failing the mission. Even if he had spent quite a bit at the auction, he still had enough to cover this.

Once that was over, Lin Fan immediately headed back to the inn to check on the girls and to make sure that they didn't wander around tonight.

He was certain that something would happen again, so it was better to stay inside.

As he had expected, there were groups of people wandering around in the streets, asking people that were still outside questions. However, even if they did ask people in the streets, they didn't go into residences and inns bothering people. They didn't want to go too far and attract this attention.

What he really wanted to do was get out of the city as soon as possible, but he had promised the girls that they would stay for the fireworks display, so he couldn't leave until tomorrow.

But the one thing that had been instilled in him was the urgency to get stronger…

He had been aware that he needed to get stronger to deal with the people that the Qiao Family would be sending, but he had been optimistic, or rather naive because they still hadn't come yet, so he thought that he didn't need to get stronger that quickly.

But this experience had shown him that he was nothing more than an ant in front of the people that are truly powerful…They would be able to squish him under their feet whenever they wanted.

Unless he wanted to die again in this second life, he had to get as strong as possible.

So he spent the rest of the time before the fireworks displaying cultivating.

When the fireworks display was finally about to start, Lin Fan finally came out of his room.

The girls were all worried about him since he had been locked up inside all day and night, but he didn't tell them anything since he didn't want to worry them. He knew that if he told them about what had happened yesterday, they would want to leave right away.

However, he couldn't do that to them after seeing how excited they had been about the fireworks display.

So he had kept all this information to himself and had only come out when it was time for the fireworks display.

The girls were still worried about him, but it was hard for them to hide their excitement as well.

So just like this, the four of them headed to the venue, but they also didn't go right to the general area. Since they were cultivators, they could go to places that normal people couldn't, so they chose to jump onto the roof of one of the nearby buildings for a better view.

Once the fireworks started, the girls finally stopped worrying about Lin Fan and lost themselves in their excitement.

Lala shouted, "It's so big and bright!"

Xiao Yue just silently nodded along, clearly being in a daze.

Yue Lan on the other hand had been more sly than the other two and had made her way to Lin Fan's side. She took his hand in her own, interlocking fingers as she laid her head against his shoulder, looking up at the fireworks.

She said with a faint smile, "It really is beautiful, isn't it?"

Lin Fan hadn't been looking at the fireworks, instead, his eyes had been on the girls in front of him the entire time.

This was what he wanted to protect.

He had found something that he hadn't been able to have in his past life on Earth and now that it was being threatened, he didn't want to lose it.

But to do that, he had to firm his heart and become even stronger and more ruthless…

Still, he couldn't let himself become too ruthless or he would forget who he was.

As he thought about it, he couldn't help slightly knitting his brows. He found that he had been doing some things that the normal him wouldn't have done…It was almost as if there was something that was slowly changing his personality…

Was it just this world, or was it because of something else?

Either way, it wasn't a bad change since he could tell that he needed to change to survive in this world.

As Lin Fan was lost in thought over this, the ending of the fireworks show suddenly came.

However, there was something strange that also came with the final firework.

It had been a pink flower design, but there was a streak that flew from the sparks in the sky, falling down to where Lin Fan was. It flew right at him and landed accurately on his lap.

As it flew through the air, the sparks slowly faded away until a round object landed.

Lin Fan was surprised when he saw this and as he picked it up, he found that there was a piece of paper wrapped up around it.

"This is a small repayment."

Inside of the piece of paper was a pill.
