With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

"Ho?" The fourth prince said in an amused voice before saying, "You\'re asking for half now? Don\'t you think that it\'s a bit too greedy?"

Lin Fan just looked him right in the eyes and said, "Not at all."

The fourth prince looked right back at him for a bit before saying, "Alright, half now isn\'t a problem." But then he said in the same amused voice as before, "But of course, some of the things that you are requesting can\'t be given to you now. You\'ll have to choose what you want first."

Lin Fan nodded in agreement to this.

He knew that the fourth prince was clearly referring to his request of this being the last task.

Of course he wouldn\'t be able to fulfill this until Lin Fan finished off the current task.

But as for what he would fulfill first…

Lin Fan turned to Yue Lan and Ming Xin for this.

The two of them looked at him before turning to each other to discuss this.

After a while, Yue Lan finally gave a list to the fourth prince.

The fourth prince nodded along to this before saying, "Alright, I\'ll arrange for everything to be sent within a month." He turned back to Lin Fan to say, "Is that enough for you?"

Lin Fan nodded in response.

With this, the fourth prince gave a clap before suddenly standing up and saying, "Alright, then I\'m heading back to the banquet. I have to leave tomorrow, so I\'ll enjoy myself tonight."

As he left, Lin Fan remembered something and said, "You\'ve forgotten your token."

The fourth prince just acted like he didn\'t hear this and walked out. There was no need for Lin Fan to guide them since there were guides that were waiting outside.

He was also certain that Lin Fan would have things to discuss with the girls in the room after he left.

So he just left without a care.

Lin Fan could only stare at the door as it closed and once it did, he couldn\'t help knitting his brows.

This was the most that his face was scrunched during this entire time.

After all, the fourth prince had left a steaming hot potato in this room with him.

The token that Lin Fan had referred to was the emperor\'s token that the fourth prince had taken out in the end to pressure Lin Fan. This token had been placed on the table by the fourth prince and he hadn\'t taken it with him when he left.

It was still sitting there on the table.

But of course, no one dared to touch it.

It was after all the representation of the highest power in this Mu Empire.

So what was Lin Fan supposed to do with it?

It was bad whether he kept it or not.

Keeping it would mean that he would be responsible for anything that happened to it and anything that happened if someone saw it. He didn\'t know where the fourth prince got this token in the first place, but if it was through some shady means…then leaving it here might be the perfect way to pin this crime on him.

So there was the risk of keeping it.

But there was also a risk of not keeping it since this could be a test from the fourth prince.

Was he looking for Lin Fan to return to see his honesty or was he expecting Lin Fan to keep it safe for him?

There were many different possibilities to this that made Lin Fan\'s brain hurt to think about it.

But there was the fact that the token was sitting there on the table that couldn\'t be changed.

No matter how he wished it was different, the fourth prince had left this here.

He looked at Yue Lan and Ming Xin, but neither of them had any ideas for him. They just both looked at him with worried looks that made their thoughts clear.

Lin Fan gave a sigh before turning to pick up the token.

No matter what, it wasn\'t as if this token could just be left here.

So at the very least, he would have to safeguard it until he met up with the fourth prince again. After all, if this was taken by someone else…then it would be very likely that they would all be beheaded for it.

After putting it away, Lin Fan told Yue Lan and Ming Xin to take care of the fourth prince.

He was staying the night, so they wanted to make sure that the fourth prince\'s group was properly entertained.

But of course, he also said, "If they go too far, feel free to knock some sense into them."

When Yue Lan and Ming Xin heard this, they couldn\'t help revealing a blush and a happy smile.

When officials became drunk like this, it was very easy for them to lose control of themselves. Even someone as famously temperate as the fourth prince could become a beast under the influence of alcohol.

So if they ever reached that point, Lin Fan was giving them permission to take care of them.

After all, these were his women and he wouldn\'t let anyone bully them.

Both of them came forward to give Lin Fan a kiss on the cheek before heading back to the banquet hall.

Lin Fan didn\'t go with them because there was somewhere else that he had to go first.

After staying in the room for a bit, he went out and took a specific route.

This route led him…right to the entrance of the dungeon. However, this wasn\'t the main entrance that everyone else took, but the secret entrance to the dungeon.

The time that he had been waiting was to let Greeny\'s puppets secure the route to ensure that he could get there without being seen.

Normally, he didn\'t mind since the cover of the secret entrance was a storage room in the first place. But after the visit of the fourth prince and the request that he had, Lin Fan didn\'t dare be negligent.

He was glad that he had been careful and had sent Mu Bao Bao to the dungeon in the first place.

If he hadn\'t…who knows what would have happened?

He knew that all kinds of crazy things could happen in this world, so he didn\'t want to leave a single thing to chance.

When he arrived in the secret room, Mu Bao Bao who had been anxiously sitting at the table came over and asked, "What happened?"

Lin Fan didn\'t say anything at first. After being silent for a bit, he brought Mu Bao Bao over to the table to sit down, but he still didn\'t say anything.

The way that he acted made Mu Bao Bao even more anxious as she could tell that something bad had happened.

So she took a deep breath and said, "You can tell me what happened. I\'ll be fine."

Lin Fan saw the determined look in her eyes, but he still hesitated. After taking a deep breath, he finally told her everything that had happened.

During this time, Rokuko had tactfully moved to the other room, where the controls for the dungeon were. She didn\'t need to use them, but she knew that it was better than staying here, awkwardly listening to this.

After Lin Fan had finished telling her everything, he carefully looked at her face, waiting for her reaction.

However, Mu Bao Bao didn\'t react at all.

She just calmly sat there as if she was in deep thought.

Or at least that was what it seemed to other people. In truth, Lin Fan could see the truth of her feelings in her eyes.

After being together for this long, there was an unspoken bond between them and he could see through her with a single glance.

Still, he knew better than to say anything until she was ready to speak.

After a long period of silence, she suddenly asked, "Why now of all time?"

Lin Fan didn\'t know how to answer this, so he just remained silent.

However, Mu Bao Bao didn\'t mind this at all since she had asked this question not to get an answer, but rather to vent her feelings.

She continued on by saying, "They\'ve ignored me for all this time and now they come to find me all of sudden? Right when I\'ve finally settled down and found a new place to call home? Are they just trying to spite me or do they actually just want to never stop bothering me?"

Lin Fan just sat there listening without saying a thing as he waited for her to finish.

Finally, Mu Bao Bao turned to Lin Fan and said with knitted brows, "Could it be that they want to finish me to tie up loose ends?"

Lin Fan thought about it before shaking his head, "It didn\'t seem like that was the case. After all, even the emperor was involved, so it should involve something much deeper."

Mu Bao Bao nodded in agreement to this before falling into deep thought once more.

After a while, she looked up at Lin Fan and asked, "Could it be that the destruction of the Love Sect was also…"

Lin Fan looked at her for a bit before shaking his head and saying, "I don\'t know."
