Cultivation Pet Shop



When he came back to the ship, Lin Fan didn't talk to anyone as he headed to his room.

Right now, he just felt like he wanted to be alone to process the feelings that he was feeling.

Angela and Zi Ling had worried looks on their faces, but they respected his wishes and left him alone.

Yuki also had a worried look, but it wasn't because she was worried about Lin Fan. Rather, she was worried about Angela feeling down because of how Lin Fan was acting.

So there was a small part of her that wanted to beat up Lin Fan for putting Angela in this position, but there was a bigger part of her that knew that this didn't involve her.

She could understand what Lin Fan was feeling, so she didn't do anything.

Momonga was just watching all of this from the side with a calm look on his face since this was something that he was very familiar with. As the Lich King, he had lived a very long life and had many memories of the past.

At this point, he had accepted all of this and just knew that this was how life was.

Eventually, all things would pass, even the bonds that he had now.

But that didn't mean that he didn't treasure the bonds that they currently had.

Since they were done with everything that they had to do, they were heading back to the Galactic Humanity Alliance to pick up Xin'er and the rest before bringing them back to the Mu Stellar Kingdom.

As for going back to the Lin Astral Empire with them…that was impossible since he knew that it was too dangerous.

The Lin Astral Empire was the current frontline, so if he brought them there, he was certain that something bad would happen.

So he couldn't bring them back with him.

As for the Lin Family, they were part of the Lin Astral Family, so they would be safe in the palace.

It was different for them who weren't a part of the Lin Astral Family. In the end, the guards wouldn't sacrifice their lives for them.

Not to mention, Lin Fan had already taken care of the Beast Race troops that were invading the Mu Stellar Kingdom and the Galactic Humanity Alliance, so those places were safer than other places.

That was why he insisted on leaving them there instead of bringing them back with him.

They naturally didn't want to be left behind, but they only agreed to stay as long as Lin Fan promised to come back for them, which he did.

The funny thing was that the members of the Lin Family had wanted to stay behind as well since they didn't want to go to the Lin Astral Empire. However, Lin Fan didn't give them a choice on this matter and just trapped them in his ship.

After saying his goodbyes, he headed off to the Lin Astral Empire.

It didn't take him long to arrive since he did have the state of the art ship and once he arrived, he found that there were many people awaiting his arrival.

When he landed, there was a crowd that was gathered that cheered for his ship as it landed.

These were normal citizens that had gathered and were cheering the return of Lin Fan, the crown prince.

As for how they knew about his arrival, Lin Fan had a few guesses. At the same time, he had a few guesses why such a large welcoming ceremony was prepared.

So he had to suck it up and wave his hands at the people that were gathered.

As for the members of the Lin Family, they were also forced to walk out in front of everyone since they were technically members of the Lin Astral Family. However, in terms of cultivation, most of the people here were stronger than them.

Since the average level of cultivation was higher in the Lin Astral Empire, most people reached the Soul Realm once they reached adulthood, even if they didn't cultivate.

For the elders, they were shocked to see that even the children around them were stronger than them.

When they realized this, they realized just how foolish they were to think that Lin Fan was there to harm them.

He had indeed brought them to a much safer place.

So after realizing this, they relaxed their mentality and started waving at the crowd as well.

There were only a few people that cared about them in the end since the main show was Lin Fan. Still, they were members of the Lin Astral Family no matter how weak they were, so the people still cheered for them out of respect for the Lin Astral Family.

When they arrived at the palace, they were even more shocked by what they saw.

The guards that stood outside were at a level that they couldn't even comprehend.

This was a level that was even beyond the Legendary Realm that they thought was the peak of cultivation…so they were completely out of their bounds.

In the end, Lin Fan arranged for a few servants to bring them to their rooms that had been prepared. He had already called ahead and notified them that he would be bringing the Lin Family back, so they had prepared everything ahead of time.

That included someone appearing right as they were about to leave.

It was Lin Fan's great grandfather, the ancestor of this Lin Family, Lin Jian.

When he arrived, all of the members of the Lin Family immediately ran over to surround him.

Seeing this one familiar face in this unfamiliar place, it really put them at ease and they seeked this safety, so they completely surrounded him.

Lin Jian just calmed them all down with a smile.

If it was anyone else, he definitely wouldn't have done this.

But in the end, these were his children, his grandchildren, and his great grandchildren, so he had no choice but to care for them.

After calming them down and sending them off, he walked over to where Lin Fan was and said, "Good job."

He didn't thank him or say anything else, he just praised him for a job well done.

That was enough for them as family members.

And in response, Lin Fan just gave a simple nod in return before asking, "Where's my father?"

Lin Jian revealed a bitter smile when he heard this before asking, "Do you really think that Ao'er would want to see them?"

Lin Fan also revealed a bitter smile before shaking his head.

Both of them knew the history between Lin Ao and the rest of their family, so it was better if they didn't meet. Especially since Lin Ao was now much stronger than before after training in this Lin Astral Empire.

It was better if they kept them apart.

After taking care of that, Lin Jian called Lin Fan to a meeting.

When Lin Fan arrived, he found that there were already many different people that were gathered in the room. He recognized these people since they were the ministers and generals that he had met last time.

However, this time, they looked at him completely differently.

Instead of looking down on him, they all looked at him with respect.

As well as a bit of hope in their eyes.

If Lin Fan had to guess what it was, he would guess that they had read the reports that had been sent back about his actions. About how he had found a way to counter the strange laws that the Beast Race troops used and how he had even defeated the Outers that appeared.

But for the Lin Astral Emperor, he was just happy to see that Lin Fan was back safely.

With a wave of his hand, he gestured for Lin Fan to sit down beside him.

This time, the seat had been left open for him by the rest of the ministers and generals since they knew that he would be coming.

Lin Fan didn't bother playing around with the ministers and generals either since he knew that this was an important meeting. This time, he was ready to contribute because he had already solved his problems, so now it was time for him to solve the problems of the Lin Astral Empire.

Once he reached his seat, he didn't hesitate to start talking.

With a wave of his hand, there were two things that appeared on the table in front of him.

When the ministers and generals saw what these were, they couldn't help jumping out of their seats and moving away from Lin Fan.

That was because what he had suddenly pulled out were the two battle suits that he had confiscated from the Outers.

As soon as they settled, the Lin Astral Emperor asked, "Xiao Fan, what are you doing?"

Lin Fan gave a slight bow to the Lin Astral Emperor before saying, "Great grandfather, these are the weapons that I have confiscated from the Outers. They contain the weapons that the Beast Race have been using against our troops."

When the ministers and generals heard this, they all couldn't help taking another step back.

After all, Lin Fan had confirmed what they had only been suspicious of.

Lin Fan confirmed that these things were indeed weapons used by the enemy, so they were all concerned about their own safety.

They didn't know if these things would accidentally go off or something.

The Lin Astral Emperor also raised a brow as he looked at these things before asking, "Are they safe?"

Lin Fan gave a nod before saying, "Yes, they have been deactivated. Plus, I want to tell you all about what I've found about the enemy."
