Cultivation Pet Shop

Lin Fan of course didn't stay in this alley any longer since there was no need for him to stay here.

He headed back to the store where he put the corpse of the assassin on the third floor along with Brainy.

The reason that he had wanted this corpse was to give it to Brainy to turn into a puppet since Brainy needed higher realm puppets, but it was hard to get corpses of higher realm experts. Since this was a corpse that had landed at his door, he would be a fool to not use it.

After leaving Brainy with the corpse, Lin Fan headed back down to start cultivating.

The night passed and the morning came, it was time for Lin Fan to open the store again.

Over the next two days, it was the normal routine of operating the store in the morning and cultivating at night. During this entire time, there hadn't been any news on Angela and Momonga still.

However, that didn't mean that there wasn't news that was spreading across this upper realm.

The news that the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect had found an Ancient Era Ruin together and were about to lead an expedition into it was something that couldn't be hidden.

Normally, this matter wouldn't be related to these normal families and powers at all since this kind of event would only be something that the very top factions would be involved in. However this wasn't the case because the Thunder Sect was offering spots for forces outside of the twelve great factions.

When this news spread, there were countless families and organizations that went to look for the Thunder Sect to discuss this matter both in private and publicly.

Since the spots haven't been decided yet, there was no one that was willing to just give up on it.

This was an Ancient Era Ruin, something that one couldn't even dream of normally. If they had a chance to explore it, they definitely wouldn't give it up that easily.

But none of that involved Lin Fan since he didn't care about the Ancient Era Ruin. What he cared about was his own plans on how to take out the True Spirit Sect.

He had something that went far beyond the Ancient Era Ruin, he had something called the system which was something that was related to the gods. With this cheat by his side, why would he risk his life exploring these ruins?

However, during the work day, Lin Fan had heard all kinds of rumours in his shop.

There were many rumours about various forces that were said to be falling under the influence of the Thunder Sect.

Lin Fan knew that the Hunters Organization would be keeping track of this themselves, but he also made a mental list of all these rumoured forces just in case.

Lin Fan spent the rest of the day like this, listening to his gossiping customers while waiting for the store to close.

When the store closed and Lin Fan was about to lock the door, there was someone else that came in.

Lin Fan hadn't been paying attention since he had been looking for the keys, so he just said out of habit, "We're closed. You can come back tomorrow if you need something."

Then he heard a familiar voice say, "Boss, are you even closed for me?"

Lin Fan turned to look at the person who came in and saw a familiar round face.

It was Mo Ze Chen!

He had finally arrived in Harmony City and there was a cloaked figure that had come with him.

However, Lin Fan just said in a calm voice, "The store is still closed."

Mo Ze Chen's smile froze on his face and there was a giggle that came from the cloaked figure which also sounded familiar.

After a while, Mo Ze Chen shook his head with a bitter smile on his face before he said, "The boss really is the boss after all."

Lin Fan ignored him and looked at the cloaked figure for a bit before asking, "Who is this?"

The cloaked figure looked at Mo Ze Chen and after seeing him give a nod, she took off her cloak to reveal that it was Lulu.

Lin Fan was surprised as he said, "Why are you here so early? Didn't you need some time to finish your training with your father?"

Lulu pouted her lips and said, "Are you not happy to see me?"

Lin Fan just looked at her without saying a thing.

Seeing this, Lulu didn't seem bothered as she just said, "Of course it's because I finished the training that I'm here. Are you not happy to see me?"

Lin Fan didn't bother with her as he turned to Mo Ze Chen and asked, "What took you so long? Doesn't it take just a few days to come from Whiterun?""

Mo Ze Chen revealed an aggrieved look as he said, "It wasn't easy getting out of that place since I found something in the ruins. If it wasn't for my Hunter License coming in time, I wouldn't have been able to get out at all."

Lin Fan raised a brow and asked, "What did you find?"

Mo Ze Chen said with a proud look, "Well I went into the ruins since I had nothing to do and I found some dragon bones. However, there were people that wanted them, so they manipulated the local families to keep me there in an attempt to get the bones from me." Then he revealed a bitter look as he said, "If the Hunter License didn't come, who knows what would have happened?"

Lin Fan revealed a confused look when he heard this and he asked, "How long did it take you to get your Hunter License?"

Mo Ze Chen was also confused when he heard this question, but he honestly answered, "It took a few weeks for me to get it. How long did it take you?"

Lin Fan didn't say anything as he fell into thought.

What he didn't know was that it would have taken Mo Ze Chen even longer to get his Hunter License if it wasn't for Lin Fan's indirect help. Because of the favours that Lin Fan had done for the Hunters Organization, they wanted to repay him by helping the people close to him since they weren't able to directly repay him.

They had done this with the Xu Family and they had done this by giving Mo Ze Chen his Hunter License sooner.

After thinking for a bit, Lin Fan changed the topic as he asked Mo Ze Chen, "What are you planning to do now?"

Mo Ze Chen gave a shrug and said, "I'm here to help you boss. I'll just do whatever you want me to do."

Lin Fan turned to Lulu and asked, "What about you then?"

Lulu looked at Mo Ze Chen and said, "I'll just stay with Ze Chen."

When he saw how close the two of them were, he couldn't help thinking about Angela who still wasn't back.

It had been quite a long time and he couldn't help getting worried about her.

It was too bad that he had thrown Momonga into the back of his mind even though he had also been gone for a long time as well.

Lin Fan was in thought for a bit before coming back to his senses and saying, "Alright, you two can help me manage the store then. I still have something else that I need to do, so you came at the right time."

Mo Ze Chen and Lulu looked around the store after hearing this.

They had heard that this was Lin Fan's store and they didn't know what kind of store it was. Looking around now, they could see that it was indeed a pet store, but that surprised them even more because they just couldn't match the cold Lin Fan to a pet shop.

While they were looking around, there was a dragon scale that suddenly appeared out of Lin Fan's Storage Ring and floated over to where Mo Ze Chen was.

Mo Ze Chen had been looking around the store, so he didn't see the dragon scale at first, but it was hard to miss it when it appeared right in front of his face.

Mo Ze Chen couldn't help taking a step back when he saw the dragon scale in front of him and he asked, "Boss, what is this?"

Before Lin Fan could say anything, there was a voice that came from the dragon scale that said, "Boy, you say that you've found some dragon bones?"

Lin Fan was surprised to see Hong Long suddenly coming out on his own. Normally the scale that contained Hong Long stayed in his Storage Ring since Hong Long had been staying in the scale to keep his soul from dissipating. If he came out too much, it would make his soul dissipate faster before he could find something permanent to place his soul in.

After thinking about it, Lin Fan suddenly had a thought.

Could it be that Hong Long wanted to use these dragon bones to create a new body?

Mo Ze Chen looked over at Lin Fan and seeing that he didn't say anything, he turned back to the scale and said with a nod, "Yes, I found some dragon bones."

The scale got right into Mo Ze Chen's face and said in an impatient voice, "Then take them out and let me see them."

Mo Ze Chen looked at Lin Fan again for confirmation before taking them out.

The scale floated over the dragon bones before it said, "Good, good, these will do."
