With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

The South Province was called the South Province, but it wasn\'t actually the southernmost part of the Mu Empire. That was the Water Province which was right beside the ocean south of the Mu Empire.

The South Province was just called the South Province because it was south of the Great Yellow River that ran through the Mu Empire.

When they arrived at the border, they didn\'t know where to go, so they decided to follow the road to the nearest town.

The instructions that the fourth prince had given Lin Fan was to go to the South Province to find the person who had the token he was looking for, the person who was named Mu Bao Hua. However, he never told Lin Fan exactly where to go, so Lin Fan didn\'t have any leads there.

At the same time, they couldn\'t go back to the area around Fair Water City, where the Love Sect\'s headquarters had been before. There would certainly be people watching over that place for survivors of the Love Sect.

They would be caught immediately by the enemy if they did that.

So the only thing that they could do was wander around the South Province and see if they could find any clues.

This was a journey without a single goal.

So instead of flying there on the back of Igneel, they landed at the border and made their way there on foot.

There was a chance that they would be able to encounter something along the way, so they didn\'t want to miss that.

It was a very boring trip in the end since there was nothing that they encountered along the way.

There wasn\'t even a single person traveling along this road that they met, so it was very silent until…they heard some noises coming from in front of them.

With their cultivation levels, they could easily figure out what these sounds were.

They were the clashing sounds of weapons, so it was clear that there was a fight happening in front of them.

Lin Fan parked the carriage on the side before dashing through the trees towards the source of the sound with Mu Bao Bao.

With their skills, it was easy for them to sneak up on the fight without being noticed. They just stood there in the trees, looking down at what was happening in front of them.

It was just a normal fight between bandits and what seemed to be a merchant carriage.

Lin Fan knitted his brows when he saw this, but then he turned to leave.

When Mu Bao Bao saw this, she couldn\'t help asking, "Where are you going?"

Lin Fan was surprised to hear this, but he said, "There\'s no need to get involved."

When she heard this, Mu Bao Bao couldn\'t help revealing a disappointed look.

If it was before, she knew that Lin Fan would have gone forward to help them without hesitation. He was that kind of person that would always be helping those that were in need.

But now, he didn\'t hesitate to abandon these people to their fate.

She could see that there were also children that were hiding in the merchant carriage, so she was even more disappointed in Lin Fan.

Lin Fan could see the disappointed look on her face, but he still said, "Let\'s go, there\'s no reason for us to get involved."

Mu Bao Bao grabbed his hand as he tried to leave and said, "What\'s wrong with you?"

Lin Fan was taken aback when he heard this and he couldn\'t help knitting his brows in response to this.

For once, he was the one that found it strange that she wanted to show kindness to people like this. After all, it was always others who thought that he was strange for wanting to help people.

But now that he didn\'t want to help people, he was still the one that was considered strange.

What was this?

As Lin Fan just stood there in a daze, Mu Bao Bao looked right at him and asked, "Are you really not going to help?"

There was a slight pleading tone in her voice when she said this that confused Lin Fan.

He didn\'t understand why she was asking him this and why she was looking at him like this, but it did hurt his heart to see her like this.

In the end, he still shook his head and said, "No, we don\'t have the time for this. We need to go to the town and investigate."

Mu Bao Bao deeply knitted her brows this time as a complicated look appeared in her eyes.

Finally she said, "If you\'re not going to do it, then I\'ll do it."

Without giving Lin Fan any time to react, Mu Bao Bao had already jumped out of the tree. Even if Lin Fan had time to react, he wouldn\'t have been able to stop her since she was much faster than him in the first place.

He could only watch as Mu Bao Bao fell down and landed in front of the bandits who were moving towards the merchants.

When the bandits and the merchants saw Mu Bao Bao appear, they couldn\'t help being shocked.

But the bandits also saw how beautiful Mu Bao Bao was and they couldn\'t help revealing lewd smiles. Even though Mu Bao Bao had covered up her face, just her body was already enough to stir them up.

It even made them forget that she had appeared out of nowhere.

The bandit boss said, "Little missy, this isn\'t a place for you to get involved in. But if you\'re looking for a good time, I can show you one."

All of the bandits laughed when he said this.

The merchants didn\'t say anything, but they did start moving away.

It was as if they were planning on using Mu Bao Bao as a distraction while they escaped.

But Mu Bao Bao just ignored the bandits and turned to the merchants to ask, "Are you alright?"

The merchants couldn\'t help cursing under their breath when they heard this since it drew attention to them again.

As expected, when Mu Bao Bao said this, the bandits had turned their attention back to the merchants. They could see that they were slowly backing away, so the bandits were about to move forward to surround the merchants.

But before they could make a move, they suddenly felt a pressure fall onto them.

This was a pressure that was like a mountain and not a single one of them was able to make a move when they felt this pressure fall on them.

All of the bandits looked around to see if they could find the source of this pressure, but they couldn\'t find it.

That was because they never expected it to come from…the beautiful girl who was standing in front of them.

Lin Fan who had been watching from above couldn\'t help feeling strange seeing Mu Bao Bao.

Seeing her stand in front of the merchants like this, he couldn\'t help thinking of when he had first met her. Back then, she had saved him just like she had saved the merchants.

But now that he thought about it, he was different from how he used to be.

If it was before, he would have been the one to help the merchants who were being sieged by the bandits.

He might not have saved them if they were just adults, but he had also sensed the children who were in the carriage. At the very least, he would have moved for the children even if the adults wouldn\'t have appreciated his help.

But now…he was different.

Just what had changed?

He had things that he was attached to that he didn\'t want to lose which made him more scared of sticking his nose in places that he shouldn\'t. That made him more timid and less willing to take action.

Like now, he was worried about Mu Bao Bao and the matter with the Mu Royal Family that he was willing to leave these kids to their fate.

It was no wonder Mu Bao Bao had revealed that disappointed look.

When he had asked the girls what they had liked about him the most, they had all told him that it was his kindness that they loved.

Now that he had betrayed that kindness, it would be strange if Mu Bao Bao wasn\'t disappointed in him.

It was as if he had become a different person from the one that she loved.

As this thought passed through his mind, Lin Fan couldn\'t help raising his hand and slapping himself on the face.

He really needed to reflect…

Even if he was being pressured by these things, he shouldn\'t lose who he was.

If he lost his identity, his sense of self, he would no longer be the same person he was before. He would become someone that would be worn down by the world and would be pushed around.

He couldn\'t bend his morals just for this.

So after this slap, Lin Fan jumped out of the tree and landed in front of Mu Bao Bao.

Everyone was surprised again when they saw this, but the bandits looked at him with hostile gazes. It was clear that they thought that he was the source of this pressure.
