With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Lin Fan calmly looked at the Emperor Mu when he said this, as if he wasn’t pressured at all by the intense words that Emperor Mu had just said to him.

After a moment’s pause, he said, “As long as I am still alive, I will be there to protect her.”

Emperor Mu couldn’t help being taken aback when he heard this.

He could hear the strong determination in Lin Fan’s voice and he realized that he…had underestimated this young man.

Under that youthful appearance was a strong man who was more than enough to meet the challenge that he had set for him.

There was still a small part of him that couldn’t accept this since he didn’t want to give up his precious daughter.

But there was a bigger part of him that was grateful that there was someone who would be there for his precious daughter when it became hard for her. Someone that would be there like he hadn’t been…

So after a long period of silence, he said, “Thank you and I hope that you will keep taking care of her.”

Lin Fan gave a nod before standing up to leave.

It wasn’t that he didn’t respect the man in front of him, but he knew that there was nothing else that he had to say.

The words that Emperor Mu had said was already him entrusting Lin Fan with Mu Bao Boa in the future.

This could be considered his father in law’s approval of him, so there was nothing that Lin Fan needed to say.

That was how it was between men.

But before he left, Emperor Mu suddenly said, “Can you call fourth in for me?”

When Lin Fan looked at him with a confused look, Emperor Mu said, “The fourth prince, Bao Bao’s little brother.”

When Lin Fan heard this, he couldn’t help revealing a bitter smile.

The fourth prince, that was someone who he had forgotten about because of all the shocking things that had been revealed.

But the fourth prince was still here.

Not to mention, he was Mu Bao Bao’s little brother.

But all the things that had happened when they had been traveling together…that wasn’t something that Lin Fan could forget that easily.

So how should he face the fourth prince now?

With a sigh, Lin Fan gave a nod and walked out, leaving Emperor Mu there with a confused look on his face.

When he came out, he found that Mu Bao Bao was there waiting for him.

The girls that had come out with her were currently standing on the side with respectful looks on their faces, but not a single one of them approached her. It was almost as if they were scared to talk to her.

When Lin Fan looked closer, he could see that there was still the look of worship that was on their faces.

If he had to guess what it was…it was most likely because they had worshipped her for so long that now that they could talk to her, they didn’t know what to say.

It was like freezing when meeting one’s idol.

Mu Bao Bao ignored them and came forward to ask, “What did he say to you?”

When she had said ‘he’, there was a trace of disgust that appeared in her voice.

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile when he heard this.

It seemed like the relationship between this father and daughter really wouldn’t be easy to repair…

Lin Fan shook his head and said, “Just a few things between men.”

Mu Bao Bao narrowed her eyes to glare at him when she heard this, but he quickly gave an excuse by saying, “Where’s the fourth prince?”

Mu Bao Bao was confused when she heard this as she asked, “What are you looking for him for?”

Lin Fan said, “He was looking for him, so I was going to pass on the message.”

Mu Bao Bao shook her head when she heard this before revealing a complicated look.

She hadn’t thought about it at first, but now that it was brought up, she had to think about it.

The fourth prince was her little brother…

She really didn’t know how to act around him now that she knew this fact.

After all, it wasn’t as if there was a relationship between them. And even if there was, based on the interaction that they had so far, it should be a negative one.

Lin Fan could see the thoughtful look on her face and could guess what she was thinking, but he just left her to it. He couldn’t help her sort out her thoughts, he could only leave her alone to give her time to do so.

So he walked out of this courtyard and planned on looking for the fourth prince.

But when he came out, he found that the fourth prince was waiting at the entrance for them.

When the fourth prince saw him come out, his face immediately lit up as he said, “Brother Lin, you’re back!”

After he said this, he immediately came over with his arm raised, as if he was about to hug him.

But before he could get close, Mu Bao Bao suddenly came forward to stop him.

The fourth prince was surprised since this cloaked figure hadn’t done anything the entire way here, but now this cloaked figure was actually stopping him from getting closer to Lin Fan.

However, Mu Bao Bao didn’t have a choice.

She had found it funny how the fourth prince was acting when she didn’t know anything, but now that she did know that he was her little brother…seeing him act this way around her man was very strange.

After all, she was also under the impression that her little brother…played for the other team.

And he was making a move on her man…which was even worse.

So she wanted to keep them away.

The fourth prince was surprised to see this, but he didn’t think too much about it as he said, “Brother Lin, how did it go?”

Lin Fan revealed a strange look before saying, “He wants to talk to you first.”

The fourth prince couldn’t help revealing a surprised look when he heard this, but he gave a nod before walking into the building.

Seeing this, Lin Fan looked down at Mu Bao Bao standing in front of him with a smile before saying, “So how do you feel?”

Mu Bao Bao looked up at him before pouting her lips and saying, “Teasing me like this, just you wait.”

Lin Fan shook his head but he didn’t say anything.

For now, they should find a place to stay in this town since they would be here for a while waiting for the fourth prince.

But before they could, one of the girls that had been following them said, “Shall we show you to your residence now?”

Both Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao were surprised by this, but the girl said, “The residence has already been prepared a long time ago. It was specially built for the young miss to use when she came.”

Both Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao looked at each other with strange looks as if they weren’t certain if they should go, but they decided to go in the end.

After all, this was an unknown place and it was hard for them to stay safe in this unknown town. At the very least, the place that Emperor Mu prepared should be safer than any inn they could stay in.

So they decided to take this offer and stay in the residence that had already been prepared.

The girls however looked at me like I was acting strange when I went along with them.

When I arrived, I understood why…

The decor of this place…it was clear that Emperor Mu had only intended for Mu Bao Bao and her attendants to stay in this place. It wasn’t a place that had been designed for a male to stay.

So when I arrived, it was very awkward.

The maids that had been there were completely caught off guard to see a man like me there.

But in the end, Mu Bao Bao didn’t care about any of this and insisted that I would be staying here with her.

The maids, the assistants, and the tutors all seemed like they had things to say, but they couldn’t go against Mu Bao Bao in the end.

So I was allowed to stay in this residence…but staying in the same room was out of the question.

Even though we had done all those things before, they didn’t know this and they preferred not knowing this, so they made it so that I was in a small room in this residence while Mu Bao Bao was in the main room.

Mu Bao Bao had wanted to say something about this, but she was taken aback by how firm the voices of her attendants were, so she had no choice but to comply.

But the biggest storm was when the fourth prince came back.

The moment that he finished his meeting with Emperor Mu, he immediately came to Mu Bao Bao’s residence.

He started causing a scene and insisted on meeting with Mu Bao Bao.

So in the end, she had no choice but to come out and meet him.

But as soon as she came out, he immediately dashed towards her with his arm spread wide open.

It was just a good thing that I came forward to grab him by the face to stop him from doing anything drastic.
