Chapter 258 Rescued Girl

The next day, Lin Fan headed out to take care of some business for the Mercenary Guild.

There was one request that required an A Rank Mercenary to take care of that Tian Tian asked him to take care of. That was because even though they had attracted plenty of mercenaries, there weren't that many A Rank Mercenaries that came to the town.

Even if there were, these mercenaries weren't willing to take these requests and preferred going into the dungeon.

However, there was still a demand for people to take care of these quests.

That was because these were real beasts that were harming villages around the dungeon town. The longer these kinds of quests were delayed, the more people would get hurt.

So Tian Tian had no choice but to ask Lin Fan to take care of it since she knew that it was urgent.

Lin Fan didn't mind since this was something for Tian Tian, so he headed off early in the morning.

It didn't take him long to arrive at the village that the request was from since it was a village that was quite close to the town. It was also a village that had already submitted to the town, so there was a second reason why Lin Fan had come to help it.

These people were technically people that were under his rule and this place was his territory.

​ When he arrived, the village chief immediately came out to greet him.

Before he came, they had already been informed that he would be coming by the Mercenary Guild.

They were naturally surprised that the mayor of the town they had fallen under was personally coming. Not to mention that he was a S Rank Mercenary.

So the people of the village couldn't help worrying if they had done something wrong for this to happen.

Could it be that this mayor was here to investigate their village?

As far as they knew, they hadn't done anything that would warrant something like this. But the mayor wouldn't just show up out of the blue for nothing. There was the excuse that he was here to take care of that A Rank Mission, but no one really believed that this was all he was here for.

They were almost certain that he was here for some other reason…

So no one dared to neglect Lin Fan when he came.

It wasn't just the village chief that came, it was also the most important people along with a few young girls…who were all dressed in rather provocative clothing.

The village chief invited Lin Fan to his house to rest up after his journey and since Lin Fan was the mayor of the dungeon town, as well as the one that ruled over this village, he couldn't just be rude to them and reject this offer.

But when he arrived, he found…

That a room had been prepared for him and the girls were the only ones that came in with them. The rest of the men who had been in the group all had sad looks on their faces as they watched Lin Fan go in with the village chief and the girls, but they didn't dare do a thing.

Even a fool would be able to understand what was happening here…

Lin Fan immediately rejected the village chief's offer to stay and headed out.

Seeing this, all of the girls and the village chief panicked for different reasons.

The village chief thought that he had done something to offend Lin Fan and was afraid of the consequences that would follow. There were also a few girls that thought the same and feared the safety of their family.

But just like there were girls here to protect their families, there were also girls here for ulterior motives…

After all, Lin Fan was a rich and powerful person. For girls that grew up in a remote village like this, he was considered a perfect person for them to marry, so they had set their sights on him.

Normally they wouldn't even have a chance to approach someone like him, but this visit from him presented a perfect opportunity for them.

Not to mention that they had already heard that he didn't have a wife even though he had plenty of girls living in his manor. So they knew that he was quite a "playful" person, so there was a chance that they would be able to catch their eyes.

When he left like this, they were naturally unwilling to give up this chance.

So for many different reasons, they all started kneeling on the ground and grabbing at his feet, begging him not to go.

Lin Fan gave a sigh and shook his head when he saw this.

With no other choice, he released his aura which immediately made everyone back down.

He looked at the village chief and said, "I'm not here with any intentions towards your village. I am just here to take care of the beast as a favour for one of my women, nothing else. If you keep pushing me like this, I will get angry."

Then he narrowed his eyes that released a cold glow as he said in a cold voice, "Understood."

Everyone in front of him gave a gulp when they heard this. Even the women that had been grabbing at his feet unconsciously let go out of fear.

They didn't know if what he said was the truth, but not a single person dared to question him when he was like this.

So they all gave timid nods in response.

Lin Fan gave a snort before leaving.

When the men outside saw him come out so quickly, they couldn't help revealing strange looks. But then when he glared at them and suppressed them with his aura, they realized what had happened and didn't dare loiter out of fear of offending him.

Lin Fan didn't bother with these people and quickly left the village to find the spirit beast.

Of course, it didn't take him long to find it, but that wasn't because he used his abilities to search for it.

When he headed off, he went in a direct straight line to the spirit beast's nest. There was no hesitation in his steps at all as he headed out, almost as if he already knew where it was.

If there was anyone watching him, they definitely would have found it strange.

When he arrived, Lin Fan didn't take more than a minute to take care of the spirit beast.

This spirit beast was only in the Fifth Qi Gathering Realm, so for someone like him in the Foundation Realm, killing it only took a flick of his finger.

This spirit beast didn't even know what had happened before it died because it had been sleeping inside of its cave when it happened. At the very least, it didn't feel any pain since it went out in its sleep.

Once the spirit beast was taken care of, Lin Fan opened up the portal to the Pet Storage Space and a small figure walked out.

After coming out, she carefully looked around the area before asking, "Is it safe?"

Lin Fan revealed a smile and patted her on the head before saying, "It's safe."

Once she received this confirmation, she began looking around the area with a curious look in her eyes as if she had never been outside before. Though technically, that was true since since the moment that she had been born, she had spent most of her time underground.

Naturally, the little girl that came out was Rokuko.

After letting her have her fill looking at the surrounding area, he said, "It's time to go back."

Rokuko turned back with a happy smile and raised her arms.

Lin Fan also revealed a smile as he picked her up in a princess carry and headed back to the town.

As for the spirit beast corpse, he had already put it into his Storage Ring.

When he arrived back at the village, they were surprised to see him bringing Rokuko back.

However, no one dared to question him once again because of the pressure that he put on them. Not to mention, things like this were common since there wasn't any village that was safe in this world filled with spirit beasts.

Since they didn't recognize her, they just assumed that she was someone that had been caught by the spirit beast at another village.

Not to mention, they could see how Lin Fan was looking at him.

Since she had caught the eyes of the mayor, there was nothing to worry about for her. If her parents were to learn about this, they would be over the moon with this fact.

Lin Fan was the best catch that one could ask for in a world like this.

But they weren't surprised that she caught his eyes because she had taken their breath away the moment that they saw her.

That beautiful blonde hair, the perfect face, and that figure that didn't really match her size. There were few men that could resist her charm…

After making sure that these villagers knew that they were safe now, Lin Fan didn't hesitate to leave the village and head back to the town.

He could see from their eyes that they were planning on doing more things in an attempt to please him, but Lin Fan wasn't interested in this at all.

All he wanted to do was bring Rokuko back and openly take her as his woman.

That was his goal in finishing this A Rank Mission in the first place.
