With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 617 The night before (1)

After all, if it wasn\'t for him, she wouldn\'t have been able to obtain the Blood Lingzhi, let alone be able to keep it from the three that were just here.

So at the very least, she owed it to him to let him do this.

Lin Fan walked into the room where her mother was laying with Lin Li Zi following behind her.

When they came in, Lin Li Zi\'s mother turned to look at them.

She had heard the commotion outside and had wanted to help, but she was so weak at this point that she could barely sit up. There was no way that she would have been able to come out to help them.

Lin Li Zi\'s heart ached when she saw this and she ran over to help her mother before asking, "Did they do anything to you?"

Her mother shook her head and said, "They just came to look for some money or valuable items to sell. They didn\'t bother me at all."

Lin Li Zi knitted her brows, but she didn\'t seem surprised.

After all, this was something that happened often with those three.

She didn\'t know why those three targeted her, but she could guess that it was most likely because of the grudge between her mother and the mother of the leader. The mother of the leader was one of the legitimate wives of her father, but it was during one of her days with her father that she was conceived. So since then, she had always held a grudge against her mother and her.

Her son had picked up on this and seemed to exact her revenge for her.

Lin Li Zi patted her mother\'s hand and said, "It\'ll be fine, don\'t worry about it. I\'ll take care of it later."

Her mother looked at her with a concerned look, but then she also looked at Lin Fan and asked, "This person is?"

Lin Li Zi had been so worried about her mother that she had forgotten about Lin Fan for a second.

But now that her mother mentioned him, Lin Li Zi introduced him, "He\'s the one that helped me find the Blood Lingzhi. If it wasn\'t for him, I really wouldn\'t have known what to do."

Lin Li Zi\'s mother knitted her brows when she heard this before reaching out to grab Lin Li Zi by the shoulder.

Lin Li Zi was surprised by the strength that her sick mother suddenly demonstrated and could just kneel there.

Then before she could react, her mother suddenly turned her around and checked her body as if she was afraid that she was hurt. Only when she made sure that she was fine did she finally let go of her shoulder and let out a sigh of relief.

She laid back on the headrest of the bed and patted herself on the chest as she said, "I\'m just glad that you\'re not hurt."

Lin Li Zi\'s lips quivered and her eyes teared up a bit when she heard this, but all she could do was give a nod and say, "Un."

After calming herself for a bit, Lin Li Zi\'s mother turned to Lin Fan and bowed her head as she said, "Thank you for taking care of my girl. I\'m sure that it wasn\'t easy. I really have no way of repaying you for all that you\'ve done for her."

Lin Fan revealed a faint smile when he saw this.

He just waved his hand and said, "It\'s fine, I was just going the same way, so I just gave her a helping hand."

When he said this, Lin Li Zi couldn\'t help looking at Lin Fan with a very strange look.

After all, this was completely the opposite of what had happened.

If she hadn\'t begged and caused a large commotion, he would have ignored her and gone on his own way. Yet now he was saying that he had helped her out of the kindness of his heart…

She really didn\'t know what to say.

She didn\'t even know whether to laugh or cry at this.

So in the end, she just focused on the result.

In the end, it was because of Lin Fan that she was able to get the Blood Lingzhi in the first place, so she was grateful to him.

Lin Li Zi\'s mother just revealed a knowing smile as she said, "I\'m sure that it shouldn\'t have been easy with my girl."

The way that her mother said this made Lin Li Zi feel embarrassed, so she said, "Mom, what are you saying?"

The knowing smile just remained on Lin Li Zi\'s mother\'s face without disappearing.

After a silence, she turned to Lin Li Zi and said, "What are you doing? Go and get some tea for our guest here."

But Lin Li Zi didn\'t go.

Instead, she looked at her mother with a worried look on her face before turning slightly to look at the Blood Lingzhi in Lin Fan\'s hand.

As if on cue, Lin Li Zi\'s mother suddenly couldn\'t help giving a loud cough.

It was the cough of someone that was clearly very sick, someone that was slowly dying from their illness. It was the cough of someone who was on the edge of death.

So Lin Li Zi looked at Lin Fan with those eyes even more as if she was trying to get him to do something.

But Lin Fan didn\'t move.

Instead, he had been carefully looking at Lin Li Zi\'s mother the entire time.

He had been using the Appraisal Eyes on her and found that it was like those three had said.

What Lin Li Zi\'s mother was suffering from wasn\'t actually blood rot.

It was a poison called Four Bloods Poison that had effects that were similar to blood rot.

If Blood Lingzhi which was a common cure for blood rot was used, it would cure one of the blood poisons that made up this Four Bloods Poison. However, it would also react with the other three kinds of blood poison and have a more violent reaction.

The moment that this Blood Lingzhi was used, it would mean that she would not get better, but rather she would get much worse.

So he couldn\'t give Lin Li Zi\'s mother the Blood Lingzhi.

While he had been standing there, he had been searching his system stores for the cure to this Four Bloods Poison.

It turned out that it was a very common poison, so the antidote for it was very cheap.

If he wanted, he could easily afford it.

So he bought one portion of it and had been waiting.

After a long silence, Lin Fan came forward and directly said, "What you\'re suffering from isn\'t blood rot, but rather a poison called the Four Bloods Poison. It will create an effect that is similar to blood rot, but it has a violent reaction to Blood Lingzhi if it is used to cure it. So I cannot give you this Blood Lingzhi even though we went through all that trouble to get it."

Lin Li Zi revealed a shocked look before revealing a look of doubt to say, "How could you say something like that? Do you just want the Blood Lingzhi for your…"

"Xiao Zi, enough."

When her mother said this, Lin Li Zi immediately fell silent.

Lin Li Zi\'s mother looked at her with a stern look and said, "I\'ve taught you that you should never let down another person\'s kindness. This young master has gone all that way to help you get the Blood Lingzhi and you want to accuse him now out of all times?"

Lin Li Zi lowered her head and didn\'t dare look up at her mother.

Lin Li Zi\'s mother glared at Lin Li Zi for a bit longer before turning to Lin Fan to say, "Young master, I\'m sorry about Xiao Zi\'s outburst. If you can forgive her, I promise that I\'ll do all I can to make it up to you."

Lin Fan just raised his hand and said, "It\'s fine, she\'s just worried about you."

Lin Li Zi\'s mother gave a nod before saying with a sigh, "Even if you hadn\'t said it, I was already doubting this. After all, there is no reason that I would catch something like blood rot. I thought that I was infected on purpose, but it turns out that it was poison and not a disease."

Lin Li Zi looked up slowly at her mother with a worried look.

Lin Fan gave a sigh before saying, "I have the antidote here, but you\'ll have to trust me to take it." As he said this, he reached his hand up which had the antidote pill in it.

When Lin Li Zi saw this, she immediately came forward to take it.

But before she did, she hesitated on taking it.

After all, this was just what Lin Fan said was the medicine. There was still a part of her that wanted to feed her mother the Blood Lingzhi since she felt that it was the cure for her blood rot.

But Lin Li Zi\'s mother didn\'t hesitate at all.

She just looked at Lin Fan and said with a smile, "If young master did all of this just to poison me, then it really seems pointless. I have no reason to doubt the young master\'s words."

Then she took the pill from Lin Fan\'s hand and popped it into her mouth.
