The moment he opened the door, he saw two girls sleeping in the bed and Lin Fan lying on the couch.
Then he saw just how young one of the girls were and he couldn't help revealing a slight look of disdain.
As a descendant of a Legendary Realm Family, he had seen plenty of this among the nobles and royals, but he never expected Lin Fan to be someone like this.
But then before he could say anything, Lin Fan stood up and grabbed him, pulling him out of the room.
Lin Fan just glared him into silence before saying, "What are you doing so early in the morning?"
Mu Xiao Hai stuttered a bit before he said, "I, I was just coming here to see if you had my pet ready." Then he looked back at the door, "But I never thought that you had this kind of hobby before."
Mu Xiao Hai was a descendant of a Legendary Realm Family, so he had seen this kind of thing before. While he hadn't personally indulged in this hobby, there were many noble and royals that indulged in this. They had even tried inviting him to suck up to him, but every time he looked down on them in disdain.
But Lin Fan had earned his respect yesterday the way he apologized, so seeing that he had these habits too really was a disappointment for him.
Lin Fan had dark lines on his face when he heard this. Why did everyone think that he was into that kind of stuff?
Lin Fan took him by the ear and said clearly, "I'm not into that kind of stuff. You already saw that I was on the couch and they both had their clothes on, didn't you?"
Mu Xiao Hai doubtfully looked at him, but he still leaned towards believing him. Even with his personality problems, Mu Xiao Hai could be considered a decent judge of character since he had to learn to do so from a young age. When you were born in a large family, you had to learn how to read people quickly or you would be swallowed.
He could tell from Lin Fan's expression that he was being serious, but still he teased Lin Fan, "Oh, are you sure about that? Who knows what happened during the night."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLin Fan shook his head and just ignored him before saying, "If you want your pet, come by the shop later. I'm sure you'll be surprised by what you see."
…
Later at the shop, Lin Fan had arrived alone to open up the shop for the day.
Angela had gone off with Song Shu to go pick up her siblings. She would take them back to the Mu Manor first to wash them up. Then they would bring them to the store tomorrow to start training them.
When Lin Fan arrived at the store, he found that there was a large crowd that was gathered around the entrance which surprised him.
After yesterday, he thought that today would be another empty day for the store, but it seemed like that wasn't the case. He couldn't help wondering what had changed to cause everyone to gather there.
When he reached the front of the store after using his aura to create a path through the crowd, he found Yang Yun and Mu Xiao Hai standing there with the elder who had stepped in at the Alchemy Tower yesterday, as well as a little girl.
Yang Yun came up and said, "Owner Lin, I'm here again today. I've brought my master and elder…"
But before she could finish, the elder from the Alchemy Tower came up and said in an anxious voice, "Owner Lin, you might not remember me, but I am Elder Gu from the Alchemy Tower. If possible, I wish to discuss your pet food with you."
Lin Fan just looked at him for a bit before calmly saying, "This elder, unfortunately our shop hasn't opened yet. Please wait until we are open to ask your questions."
Elder Gu still wouldn't give up, "Owner Lin, this won't take much of your time. How about this, I'll buy everything in your shop today and you can just take the day off to talk to me?"
Lin Fan calmly rejected him, "I'm sorry, we don't do business like that. If you wish to buy our pet food, please wait until business hours."
But internally, he was complaining to the system, "Come on, why can't we just sell it to him? He's offering to buy everything in the store! Do you know how much money that is?!"
"Host, please don't be too greedy. First warning!"
Lin Fan knew that he could never beat the system in an argument since the system didn't even bother to argue. In the end, while feeling depressed inside, he rejected the elder and moved to open the store.
When the crowd saw this, they couldn't help breaking out in gossip.
"Just who is this owner? He actually dares to make even Elder Gu of the Alchemy Tower wait?"
"No, don't you see it? Elder Gu is actually this courteous to this owner. This owner must have some special backing."
"It's obvious that this owner has some special backing, don't you see that he took over this store from the Mu Family? If he didn't have some special backing, how could the Mu Family give him this store?"
"But I went in yesterday and the prices he had really were too much! This store really is a big scam!"
"Shh, don't say it so loud. We don't know who's behind this store, do you really want to be chased out of Green Wood City?"
Lin Fan just ignored all this as he unlocked the door to the store.
After walking in, he actually closed the door on Elder Gu who wanted to follow him in.
Only after ten minutes of stocking the shelves and preparing everything did he finally open the door.
The moment he saw the door open, Elder Gu immediately dashed into the store, but Yang Yun, Mu Xiao Hai, and the little girl weren't far behind him.
The four of them quickly moved over to the shelves of pet food and began inspecting them. As they continued to inspect the pet food, the expressions on their faces continued to change. It went from surprise to shock to complete disbelief.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElder Gu kept moving from one bag of pet food to the other, as if he was frantically trying to find something. But when he tried to rip them open and take the pet food out, he felt a cold chill coming from behind him. When he turned around, he saw Lin Fan sitting at the counter glaring at him and he quickly put down the bags of pet food with an awkward smile.
As for the little girl, she only held the same bag of pet food in her hand as she silently looked over it. She looked at it from various different angles, but she still couldn't find what she wanted to find.
Finally Elder Gu couldn't take it anymore and was about to charge towards Lin Fan at the counter, but this little girl grabbed him and stopped him. The little girl turned to Yang Yun and Yang Yun gave a nod before heading towards Lin Fan.
Yang Yun came forward and politely said to Lin Fan, "Owner Lin, if I may, do you have time to talk?"
Lin Fan looked at the little girl holding the old man back and he couldn't help finding it a bit funny. He said to Yang Yun, "That's fine, but there's something I want to ask you first."
Yang Yun was surprised when she heard this, but she quickly said, "Owner Lin, if you have any questions, please ask."
Lin Fan pointed at the little girl and said, "Who is that little girl? Is she your little sist…"
Before he could finish, the little girl had already let go of the old man and had charged forward, flying through the shop with a flying kick that landed right in Lin Fan's face.
After kicking Lin Fan's face, she did a neat turn in the air before firmly landing on the ground. Once she landed, she bent down and held her foot in pain, but she still said, "Who are you calling a little girl!"
Lin Fan was surprised, this little girl's life energy was actually white in colour, she was in the Platinum Realm!
Yang Yun had an awkward look on her face as she explained, "Owner Lin, this is my master, Elder Hua. She is over three hundred years old and one of the ten elders of the Alchemy Tower, not my little sister."
Elder Hua actually had a big complex over the way she looked. She always hated being called a little girl by others. Whenever she was addressed like this, she would always lose control of herself...Like when she landed a flying kick in Lin Fan's face.
Lin Fan just looked at Elder Hua in disbelief as he cursed in his heart, "Granny loli!"
This was something that he had seen in many animes on earth, but he had never expected to see the real thing!
