With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

However, Lin Fan wouldn\'t let her go until he was certain that it was safe.

The two girls went over to the bear and after making sure that it was dead, they gave a nod to Lin Fan.

When Lin Fan received this nod from them, he finally let the young girl run over to the bear corpse.

She tried with all her might to push the bear up and get the basket out from under the bear, but this young girl was just a young girl without any cultivation at all. No matter how she tried to push the bear, she wasn\'t able to push it up at all.

In the end, Lin Fan couldn\'t stand watching her like this anymore and lifted up the bear for her.

Her only care right now was the basket that the bear had crushed, so she fell to the ground to grab at the basket. However, this basket had been completely crushed by the bear and the contents were already destroyed.

Seeing this, there was a look of despair that appeared on the young girl\'s face. It was almost as if she had suddenly lost all hope after seeing this.

Lin Fan felt a pang in his heart after seeing this, so he came forward to ask the young girl, "What\'s wrong? What did you need the herbs in the basket for?"

When the young girl heard this, she remembered that Lin Fan was there. She first looked at him with a trace of anger in her eyes. If it hadn\'t been for this person, she might have been able to save her basket.

But that trace of anger quickly disappeared since she knew that if it wasn\'t for him and his two companions saving her, she would have become a meal under the claws of the bear…

So she said in a desolate voice, "I needed the herbs I gathered to help cure my mom\'s illness. But now that they\'ve been destroyed, I…"

She couldn\'t finish the rest of her words as she became choked up and tears poured out of her eyes.

Not just Lin Fan, both of the girls couldn\'t stand watching this young girl crying like this, so both of them looked at Lin Fan with pleading looks.

Lin Fan was silent for a bit before saying, "I don\'t know much about medicine, but I can help take a look at your mother for you."

The young girl was dazed when she heard this, but then she looked at Lin Fan with doubt. She didn\'t believe that this man who didn\'t look that much older than her could do much for her mother…

So after a bit of silence, she asked, "How can you help my mother?"

Lin Fan naturally knew why she was doubtful, so he took out his Mercenary License and said, "Believe it or not, I am a certified A Rank Mercenary. I think that should be enough for me to help your mother."

Even if she lived in a remote place like this, this young girl was aware of what the concept of an A Rank Mercenary was.

The beast that terrorized their village which they had made a request to the Mercenary Guild for had only been classified as a D Rank mission. That terrifying monster was only a D Rank, so anyone without a brain would be able to understand that an A Rank Mercenary was a monster among monsters.

As she thought this, there was a bit of hope that filled this young girl\'s heart.

Perhaps this young man in front of her really could save her mother.

As this hope surged in her heart, she couldn\'t help asking, "Can you really save my mother?"

Lin Fan saw those hopeful eyes, but he didn\'t want to give her any false hope, so he said, "I can\'t guarantee anything since I haven\'t seen her yet, but I can say that I\'ll do what I can for your mother."

The young girl\'s eyes didn\'t lose hope when she heard this, but rather she looked at Lin Fan with wide sparkling eyes after hearing this and said, "I believe that you\'ll be able to do it."

Lin Fan could tell that her hopes had been raised to a level that was hard to meet. If they weren\'t met, it would completely shatter her and she would be left as a husk of herself.

However, she also wouldn\'t listen to anything that he said once she reached this level, so there was nothing he could do about it…

After giving a sigh, he asked, "What\'s your name? My name is Lin Fan."

The young girl looked up at Lin Fan with wide eyes and said, "My name is Duanmu Yi, but you can just call me Xiao Yi." But after saying this, she seemed to have realized something and said, "Or you can call me whatever you want, as long as you\'re happy."

Lin Fan knew that she had gotten the wrong impression from him, so he just said with a sigh, "I\'ll just call your Xiao Yi."

But after this, he was finally able to get a good view of this young girl.

She was quite young and quite small, she didn\'t even reach his head, she was only at the height of his chest. But even with how young she was, that didn\'t take away from the beauty that she had. With those big wide eyes, fair skin, and flowing hair, she almost seemed like a porcelain doll.

The only thing that wasn\'t as perfect about her was her slender curves, but Lin Fan was certain that if she was given a few years to grow, she would definitely become a beauty that could knock out the breath of anyone with a single look.

The two girls didn\'t hold back at all after seeing what Xiao Yi looked like. Their hearts melted and they both took her in their arms as they started to spoil her.

But Xiao Yi didn\'t care about any of this as she kept looking at Lin Fan with wide eyes filled with hope.

It didn\'t take them long to reach the village, but they were immediately stopped by the guards that were at the gates.

It seemed like this village really was on guard against the beast that the mission was about, they had built an entire fence of logs around the entire village and a large wooden log gate.

They were hostile towards Lin Fan at first, but after they saw Lin Fan\'s Mercenary License, they immediately treated him with the utmost respect.

After all, Lin Fan was an A Rank Mercenary and their request was only a D Rank Mission. It was clear to anyone with a brain that he was doing this out of charity and there was no reason for him to stay. If they were to offend him, it would be too late to regret it even if they wanted to regret it.

So Lin Fan easily made his way into the village.

The guards had wanted to bring him to see the village chief, but Lin Fan rejected this as he had Xiao Yi bring him to her house to see her mother.

The guards clearly had some reservations about this, but there really wasn\'t anything that they could do. Lin Fan could go wherever he wanted to go because of his status, they couldn\'t stop him.

So Lin Fan followed Xiao Yi to her house.

It was a small village, so it didn\'t take long before they arrived.

Lin Fan knitted his brows when he saw the house, it was very small and somewhat dirty, as if it had been neglected for a while now. However he could see from the different signs in the house that this had only been the case in recent times.

Before this, this house should have been kept quite clean and well managed.

It seemed like the sickness that Xiao Yi\'s mother had been suffering from wasn\'t a sickness that had suddenly come on. It should be something that she had been suffering from for a while now.

This made Lin Fan even less confident that he would be able to deal with it.

But still, he followed Xiao Yi inside to the bedroom where he found her mother weakly lying on the bed. With how weak and thin she looked, Lin Fan was surprised that she hadn\'t already passed away.

But even with this weak appearance, Lin Fan could see that her beauty hadn\'t been affected. It was clear where Xiao Yi\'s beauty had come from.

As soon as he entered the room, Lin Fan used his Appraisal Eyes on Xiao Yi\'s mother to see what her condition was.

This was one of the reasons why he had been confident that he would be able to help her. The other was naturally the Dungeon Master System store that offered all kinds of medicines to him.

But the moment that he saw the description that popped out, he couldn\'t help knitting his brows.

It seemed that according to his Appraisal, what Xiao Yi\'s mother was suffering from wasn\'t an illness, but rather something else.

According to his Appraisal Eyes, what she was suffering from was…

Poison!
