Traveling to Inferno City

After that night, out of the three girls, only Lala was sore since it was her first time, so she didn't go out with Lin Fan on the mission that he took.

For the next two weeks, there was only peace.

Lin Fan continued with his missions over the next two weeks, doing both his daily missions and the missions from the Mercenary Guild, grinding out as much money as he could.

Though they had taken action in preparation of retaliation from Yue Lan's father, it never came.

There were several guards that now stood in Lin Fan's store, but the strange thing about them was that they were all female as well, just like the workers of the store.

Lin Fan had gone to the Merchants Guild with Yue Lan to hire them, but he wasn't the one that chose them. All he did was check their abilities before Yue Lan hired them.

He had thought that she would at least hire one or two men, but it turned out that she had completely hired women.

Was it because she was afraid of men or…did she think that this was what he wanted?

While he had told her that he wanted a harem, he didn't want to take it this far…

In fact, when he went to the store, people who knew that he was the owner gave him strange looks when they found that there were only female staff at this store…

But that didn't matter since he rarely went to the store and he would be going even less now that he was leaving this city.

Of course, he wasn't leaving this city permanently, he was just heading to Inferno City for the auction.

If they rushed, they could get there in three days by ordinary horse carriage. However Lin Fan and the other girls didn't want to rush this journeys

Instead, they wanted to take it slow, while at the same time, they wanted some more monster combat experience. Not to mention that having Hi allowed them to travel much faster than normal horse carriage.

So they chose to set off a week before the auction to slowly make their way to Inferno City.

It wasn't just Lala and Xiao Yue who came with Lin Fan, but also Yue Lan.

She was coming along to help Lin Fan with bidding during the auction since she had experience with this kind of thing.

But also because she wanted to avoid the store for now since there was the chance that her father could come back. If she wasn't there, they wouldn't have the justification to do anything in the store, so it was better if she wasn't there.

Of course, the other reason was that she was trying to hide from her father and her family.

Even if she was determined to cut off all relations with them, it was the family that had raised her.

As they traveled along, they met various spirit beasts that they hunted. With the Gale Sparrow, it wasn't a problem for them to find spirit beasts.

They put all the spirit beast corpses in the Pet Storage Space to sell when they reached Inferno City. There was a Mercenary Guild branch there as well, so it was easy for them to find a place to sell these spirit beast corpses.

They just traveled like this for three days before anything happened.

On the third day, it was a normal day at first, but then they heard the sounds of screaming in the distance.

But not only that, they heard the sounds of weapons clashing which clearly showed that there were also people fighting.

After a nod from Lin Fan, Yue Lan jumped into the Pet Storage Space before the remaining three charged in the direction of the sound.

However, when they came close, they slowed down and cautiously approached the source of the sound. When they came close, they hid in the bushes while checking the situation.

After all, it was dangerous to charge out now without knowing what the situation was.

However, they found that as they expected, it was someone being attacked by bandits.

Bandits were common in this world and unless there were powerful experts escorting caravans, it was very likely that caravans would be attacked.

Now there were two choices that were placed in front of them, which was to either help these people or to let them face the bandits alone.

It was clear which option was the better option, however…

When Lala suggested just leaving the caravan to their fate, it was Xiao Yue who argued against it.

"If it was you, wouldn't you hope that someone would help you? Not to mention that they are only mortals, so there's no danger in helping at all." Xiao Yue said in a firm voice.

Lala was surprised by how strong Xiao Yue's stance was when it came to this matter, but she still said, "That's the point, they're mortals. This kind of stuff happens everyday, you can't just save everyone, can you? Since there's no merit, there's no point in saving them."

Xiao Yue still had the firm look on her face, but her eyes showed that she could understand where Lala was coming from.

In the end, it was Lin Fan who cut in by saying, "Forget it, we'll help them."

Since Lin Fan had spoken, there was nothing else for the other two to say.

Lala still had an unwilling look on her face, but Xiao Yue looked at Lin Fan with a grateful look.

Lin Fan just gave a nod before pulling out his weapon to prepare for the fight.

…

There were the sounds of weapons clashing all around along with the sounds of screaming that rang out from time to time.

However, inside the carriage cabin, there was only silence as two figures sat there.

One of them had a calm look on their face, but the other was peeking out of the carriage with a concerned look.

After watching what was happening outside for a bit, the one with the concerned look came back to say, "Big sister, what do we do? We just had to be unlucky enough to bump into these bandits…If they just waited a bit longer, we would have already left this caravan and they could have done whatever they wanted."

The one with the calm look said, "It doesn't matter, what is destined to happen will happen, so just accept it."

The one with the concerned look said, "But at this rate, they'll lose and then what will happen to us?"

The one with the calm look didn't say anything in response to this. Instead, she just closed her eyes as if she was thinking about something.

Seeing this, the one with the concerned look couldn't help becoming even more worried.

Seeing that the one with the calm look wasn't doing anything, the one with the concerned look reached out beside her to pick up a branch. Then with a flash of green light, the branch suddenly started to grow until it took the form of a bow.

When the one with the concerned look was about to peek out again with this bow, the one with the calm look suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Stop."

The one with the concerned look was surprised by this sudden outburst from the one with the calm look, but then she said, "But big sister, if we don't do anything, we'll be in trouble. If this merchant caravan gets destroyed by the bandits…"

The big sister suddenly said, "I've always said that you're too anxious. Calm yourself and sense the area."

The little sister was surprised once again by what the big sister said, but still she took a deep breath and released her senses. Then after a while, she suddenly revealed a surprised look as she said, "Big sister, it's…"

The big sister gave a nod and said, "Yes, it seems like the goddess is still on our side today."

Not long after this, there was a sudden loud boom that came from outside that drew both their attention.

The little sister quickly came to the side of the carriage and she arrived just in time to see a man flying right past her. This man was one of the bandits that had attacked this caravan.

Of course, his trip through the air wasn't a voluntary one, but rather it was because he had been thrown through the air.

After his short trip through the air, he slammed right into a tree on the side of the path and was knocked out.

The little sister turned her head in the direction that the man had come flying from and she found that there was a girl there who was lifting two grown men, one in each hand, swinging them around like they weighed nothing.

After swinging them, she threw them out again at their comrades who were the other bandits.

With how easy it was for her, it was almost like she was bowling with these bandits.

To the side, there were two other people who were also taking care of the bandits.

There was one girl who was smoothly making her way through the bandits, cutting their necks and there was a man who was slowly taking down bandits without killing them.

With the three of them tearing their way through the bandits, the bandits weren't able to fight back at all.

It didn't take them long to subdue all the bandits that were attacking the caravan.
