Cultivation Pet Shop

Qiao Yi Fei revealed a smile and said, "We'll send someone to get you, it'll be in the evening, after your store closes."

This was quite the show of respect for Lin Fan, they were even scheduling their meeting to account for Lin Fan's store.

Or it would have been if it wasn't for them accounting for themselves as well.

These important people naturally had things to do during the day and they couldn't just go missing, so the best time for them to meet was in the evening because there would be people watching them at night as well.

Ideally it was during a meal because that was when people let down their guards the most. Of course, the ones letting their guards down would be the people watching them instead of the ones being watched.

Lin Fan just gave a defeated nod before sending off Qiao Yi Fei and Wang Jian.

Of course, neither of them minded since they both had things to do back at their organizations to prepare for this meeting.

After sending them off, there was only Mo Ze Chen and Lulu that were left in the store.

Lin Fan looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you have a place to stay tonight?"

Mo Ze Chen shook his head and said, "We came here as soon as we arrived, so we haven't had time to find one yet. But it's not that hard to find a place to stay, especially when you have a Hunter License."

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Forget about that, you can just stay with me."

Mo Ze Chen looked around the shop and asked, "Boss, there's a place to stay in this shop?"

Lin Fan said, "There's no space for you in the shop since it's where I stay, but you can stay at the residence that I was staying at previously. There's a few empty buildings there that you can live in."

Mo Ze Chen revealed a surprised look, "Buildings?"

Lin Fan nodded and said, "It's a large courtyard, so you can take some of the side buildings."

After saying this, Lin Fan raised his wrist to make a call to the Xu Family.

After talking for a few minutes, he brought his wrist down and turned back to Mo Ze Chen to say, "It's all set up. You can just head over and show them your Hunter License, there will be someone waiting for you."

Of course, Lin Fan didn't forget to write down the address for the two of them when he said this, otherwise they would have felt awkward standing there, not knowing where to go.

Before leaving though, Mo Ze Chen couldn't help turning back to ask, "Boss, are you alright staying in this shop alone by yourself? Do you need us to stay here with you?"

Lin Fan just said with a smile and a wave of his hand, "I have some business to take care of and you can't help me, so you can just go ahead. You'll be helping me tomorrow with the store, so I'll take your offer then."

Mo Ze Chen gave a nod and seemed like he was going to accept this explanation, but he couldn't help feeling that something was off still.

But there was nothing he could do if Lin Fan wasn't willing to talk about it and it was getting late. He would try to talk to Lin Fan about it tomorrow.

After they left, Lin Fan let out a deep sigh and went into the back to put the pets into the shadow cultivation room.

There was a reason why Lin Fan didn't want to go back to the residence with Mo Ze Chen, there was a reason why he had been staying in the store the entire time.

That residence, after staying there for some time, had become a kind of home.

Now that most of the residents of that place were no longer there, Lin Fan would have felt lonely living there by himself, which was why he didn't want to go back there by himself before they came back.

As he was walking into the back, he couldn't help muttering to himself, "Where are you right now?"

As his voice fell, there was a sudden prompt from the system.

"The first employee of the store "Angela" has been injured."

"Now issuing a special mission."

Lin Fan was taken aback by this, but then he quickly asked, "What happened to her? Where is she now?"

The system completely ignored this outburst from Lin Fan as it continued giving out a mission in its mechanical voice.

"Since the host is the owner of the store and the store is responsible for the wellbeing of its employees, the host must go and help the first employee "Angela" recover."

"The first employee has been injured by an unknown power and can only be cured with the special "True Ice Grass" found on the World of Elements. The host must find the "True Ice Grass" and bring it to the first employee "Angela" within twenty four hours or the host will fail this mission."

Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this and he asked, "What happens if I fail the mission."

"If the host fails the mission, the store will fall back down to level 2 and the host will lose the rights to the accessory room."

Lin Fan knitted his brows even more as he asked, "What will happen to Angela."

The system paused for a second before finally replying.

"The first employee "Angela" will succumb to her injuries and die."

Lin Fan's face was cold, it was ice cold. It was so cold that if anyone stared at it, they would have felt like they had been plunged into ten thousand year old ice and they were unable to extract themselves from it.

Lin Fan asked the system in a cold voice, "Why didn't you tell me sooner that she was in danger?"

The system remained silent for once.

If this was before, the system would have definitely given Lin Fan a warning for talking to it like this, but the system felt like it was a good idea not to test Lin Fan right now.

Hearing nothing from the system, Lin Fan became even more angry, but that anger turned into calm.

His face was like a still pool without a single ripple as he took a deep breath and then he said word for word, "Teleport me there now."

The system wisely didn't choose to remain silent this time.

"The host will now be transferred to the World of Elements. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, transferring."

There was the same flash of white light before the scene in front of him changed. When the flash of light was gone, Lin Fan was no longer in the shop and he appeared in front of a castle.

This was Angela's castle, the castle of the ruler of spirits, but it was also a different castle from the one that Lin Fan had met Angela in the first time he was here.

That castle was the old castle and Angela had gone there to think when Lin Fan had suddenly disturbed her.

This castle was surrounded by guards who immediately pointed their weapons at him, but they also quickly put down their weapons after seeing who it was. Lin Fan had already been to this castle quite a few times because he had used the World of Elements as a training area before, so he had come with Angela to the castle before.

The guards had all received orders that Lin Fan was allowed to be here, so they naturally didn't do a thing to him.

However, when Lin Fan came forward to enter the castle, the guards suddenly stopped him.

Lin Fan looked at them with his cold gaze that made them shiver as he said, "What is it?"

The guards had received orders that the castle was on lockdown and no one was allowed to enter because of their ruler's injuries, it was an order that didn't have an exception at all. Even if Lin Fan had received the ruler's permission to enter the castle, that was from a different time…

Lin Fan could see that neither of the guards were planning on letting him pass, so he drew out his weapon and was about to attack them.

The only thing on his mind was seeing Angela and he wouldn't let anyone stand in his way.

The guards raised their weapons as well, but it was clear that they were hesitant to fight back. They had previously received orders from Angela that they should treat Lin Fan with respect, an order that they wanted to follow if it wasn't for the circumstances.

Right when Lin Fan was about to attack, there was a voice that rang out saying, "What is going on here?"

All three of them turned to look in the direction of the voice and they saw a little girl dressed in only a green skirt with lacy fairy wings on her back floating over.

The guards immediately stood at attention when they saw this little girl.

This little girl was Angela's personal maid and even though she was only a maid, everyone knew that she was one of the closest people to Angela, so they all treated her with respect.

The guards reported the situation to the little girl and when she saw Lin Fan, she gave him a nod before saying, "It's fine, you can let him pass."

The guards gave a salute before clearing the way for them.

The little girl turned to Lin Fan and said, "Follow me."
