With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 269 Heading To The Village

Everyone couldn't help looking at Yue Lan with a surprised look since they never thought that she would suddenly agree to taking in Ming Xin.

They had thought that she would ask a few more questions, but to their surprise, she had accepted Ming Xin right away.

No one really knew how to react to this situation.

However, Lin Fan as the master of this manor felt that he should say something.

It was just that before he could say anything, Yue Lan suddenly looked at him and asked, "You're still here?"

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile when he heard this.

He still heard the hidden meaning behind her words and gave a nod before walking out of the room.

While her words had sounded harsh, this was Yue Lan's way of giving him permission to head off to the village with the pillars. Now that she had found someone capable to help her, she no longer needed him to stay in the town doing various things for her.

This was her way of giving him her blessing to leave.

He knew better than to question it or she might just take it back. So he chose to leave as soon as possible just in case she regretted it or there was something else that she needed him to do.

As for him just leaving without her permission, he wasn't cruel enough to do that.

He had dumped a bunch of work on her and she was just asking for his help, so his guilt prevented him from leaving without getting her permission first.

Once Lin Fan was gone, Yue Lan gave a sigh before turning back to Ming Xin.

She said in a calm voice, "I'll build you your own lab so you can do whatever research you want. You won't need to worry about the funding either since I'll give you all the money that you need."

She had seen through Ming Xin's genius through all the suggestions that she gave her, so she knew that the best use for this was to give her a lab so she could research new things for them.

At the same time, that would allow her to use Ming Xin whenever she had a new problem that needed to be solved.

Ming Xin gave a nod in response to this without saying anything else.

After a long period of silence, Yue Lan finally asked, "Why now?"

Ming Xin lowered her head and remained silent for a bit before suddenly saying, "I was making sure that I would have a place in the future. If I were to show everything before he made me his, then…"

She didn't finish her sentence, but it was clear what she was implying.

Simply put, she didn't trust the girls in Lin Fan's harem.

If she were to reveal her abilities and one of them were to get jealous of her, she wouldn't have a stable enough position to defend herself. As long as Lin Fan didn't sleep with her and make her a real member of his harem, it was impossible for her to stand up against the rest of the girls.

So the best thing for her to do was to lay as low as possible until she finally won Lin Fan's favour.

The other girls looked at each other before revealing slightly sad looks.

They all liked Ming Xin and knew what kind of things that she had gone through. They had thought that they had been welcoming enough, but it seemed like there were still things that she was worried about that she didn't tell them…

This made them feel bad since they never noticed any of this.

But Yue Lan slightly knitted her brows as that same annoyed feeling as before came back.

These words also meant that now that Lin Fan had slept with her, she was willing to show her abilities. Which also confirmed that Lin Fan had indeed slept with her last night.

Seeing the look on Yue Lan's face, Duanmu Ming Yue couldn't help feeling more and more guilty.

If it was before, she might not have said anything since her top priority was still Lin Fan.

But now that she had fully recognized herself as part of Lin Fan's harem, she knew that his happiness also relied on the girls in the harem. She knew that if she wanted him to be happy, she needed to care about the other girls in the harem as well.

So when Yue Lan was angry with Lin Fan like this because of her fault, she couldn't help feeling guilty.

In the end, Duanmu Ming Yue finally said, "I have a confession to make."

Everyone was surprised to suddenly hear this from Duanmu Ming Yue, so they all turned to look at her.

When they were looking at her like this, for some reason, Duanmu Ming Yue found it hard to talk. She wouldn't have found it hard before, but right now, when all of them looked at her like this, she strangely felt nervous.

After taking a deep breath, she still said, "I was the one who drugged young master Lin. I was the one that put aphrodisiacs in his food last night."

Everyone couldn't help looking at her with shocked looks when they heard this, but it also solved the mystery of why Lin Fan had suddenly made a move last night when they had all been gone.

But even Ming Xin had a surprised look on her face.

After all, even with how smart she was, she hadn't been able to figure out why Lin Fan had suddenly shown up in her room last night.

It hadn't made any sense at all.

That was until she finally heard Duanmu Ming Yue's confession.

No one said a word when this confession came out as they all just sat there in silence.

Finally, it was Yue Lan who broke the silence by suddenly giving a sigh.

Everyone was surprised and confused when they heard this, but they waited for her to speak.

However, Yue Lan didn't say anything as she looked from Ming Xin to Duanmu Ming Yue, as if she was thinking something.

Seeing this, the two of them couldn't help feeling nervous.

Finally, Yue Lan said, "I am at fault here as well, but you have crossed a line."

Both of them once again trembled when they heard this and they couldn't help looking at Yue Lan.

The moment that they saw the cold way that she was looking at them, they felt a chill run down their spine.

Yue Lan gave a sigh and said, "I already knew what you were planning, but since you didn't do anything that went too far, I had ignored it. But now that you've crossed the line like this…"

She didn't finish as she stared at Duanmu Ming Yue with a cold look.

Duanmu Ming Yue looked at Yue Lan like she was meeting her for the first time. She had never felt this kind of feeling from Yue Lan before and even with her nerves, she couldn't help feeling very nervous facing Yue Lan.

But before anyone could say anything, Duanmu Yi came out in front of Duanmu Ming Yue, shielding her mother behind her. She looked right into Yue Lan's cold eyes and said, "It's not my mother's fault! She did this all because of me! If you want to punish someone, you can punish me!"

Yue Lan's expression didn't change in the slightest as she looked at Duanmu Yi.

This made Duanmu Yi shrink back, but she didn't back down as she stood in front of Duanmu Ming Yue.

She loved Lin Fan, but she also loved her mother and she wouldn't let anyone hurt her.

Yue Lan then said in the same cold voice, "That was what I was planning on doing in the first place."

Both of them trembled when they heard this.

But then she added, "Of course, this is all for your good as well. You should know that if you want to fit in, you have to get along with everyone or he will be sad."

After another pause, she asked, "Do you want him to be happy?"

Both of them looked at each other and then turned back to nod in response.

Yue Lan's cold look instantly melted and she revealed a smile as she said, "Good, then we'll have to do a bit of training and then you'll be ready to serve him."

Even though she had a smile on her face, both of them still felt a chill run down their back.

Yue Lan however didn't care as she turned to Ming Xin and said, "As for you…you should really learn to trust us more."

Ming Xin just revealed a smile and said, "Well, you can't blame me…after all, you have your plan for him."

Yue Lan narrowed her eyes to look at Ming Xin, as if she was sizing her up again.

Ming Xin didn't back down when she saw this and it matched Yue Lan's gaze.

After a long period of silence, Yue Lan said, "You think that you know everything?"

Ming Xin just revealed a smile without saying anything.

Yue Lan also revealed a smile and said, "It is for his good."

Ming Xin gave a snort this time and said, "If you say so."

But Yue Lan spoke in a firm voice that scared Ming Xin a bit, "I do say so."

This was Yue Lan's true appearance as the boss of Lin Fan's harem.

As one of the oldest members, with only Xiao Yue being senior to her, she had quite a lot of influence in Lin Fan's harem.

Xiao Yue didn't have the kind of personality that suited this kind of work, so she handed this task over to Yue Lan since she also trusted Yue Lan to do what was best.

The senior members of the harem actually had quite a close bond, almost as if they were sisters. This was forged through sleeping together with Lin Fan many times, so it wouldn't be broken that easily.

When Ming Xin was facing this kind of Yue Lan, she had no choice but to back down.

After all, she could see that everyone else here also supported Yue Lan, so there was no way for her to challenge her even if she wanted.

Yue Lan saw this and took her hand to pat before saying, "It's all for his good, right?"

Ming Xin saw the scary look in Yue Lan's eyes and had no choice but to nod along.

Seeing this, Yue Lan revealed a happy smile before turning back to her breakfast. But halfway through, she suddenly realized something and quickly stood up.

She called out and there was a black cloaked figure that appeared.

She quickly wrote something on a piece of paper and gave it to the black cloaked figure before saying a few things to them. The black cloaked figure gave a nod before suddenly disappearing.
