Cultivation Pet Shop

Lin Fan's mouth dropped wide open in shock as he looked at this person in front of him in a daze.

This was a face that he hadn't seen in a long time, not since the Blue Star Planet.

Standing in front of him was Zi Ling who he had met a long time ago in the Inheritance Realm!

But what was she doing here and what was with this strength that she had.

After what seemed like a long time, Lin Fan couldn't help asking, "What are you doing here?"

Zi Ling just said with a faint smile, "I'm here to rescue you. Why else would I be here?"

Lin Fan's lips twitched before he said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was…"

Zi Ling cut him off before he could finish by raising her hand and then saying with a chuckle, "I know what you mean, but there isn't much time for me to explain. So let's get down to business first."

Lin Fan revealed an even more confused look as he asked, "Business? What business?"

Zi Ling pointed back at the corpse of Master You on the ground and said, "If you don't call that business, what would you call it?"

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile as he said, "It's not like I had much choice in that matter. If I didn't do anything, he would have killed me, right?"

Zi Ling gave a nod before saying, "That's right, but it still did happen. So now we have to take care of the consequences of this decision."

Lin Fan knitted his brows once again as he asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Zi Ling finally revealed a serious look as she said, "Well, if you killed one of theirs, don't you think that they will want to kill you? Since that's the case, you can't stay here any longer."

Lin Fan knitted his brows even more when he heard this as he said, "But I can't just leave this place like that. There's still many other things that I have to take care of. There's my family, my store…"

Once again, Zi Ling raised her hand to cut Lin Fan off before saying, "I'll help you take care of all of that. As long as I'm here, they won't dare touch this place." Then she revealed a smile as she said, "You've already seen how he reacted earlier, the Bing Family won't dare touch this place as long as I'm here."

Then after a pause, she added, "Of course, that's not enough to stop them from taking revenge on you, so it's best if you don't stay here. I'll send you to another Stellar Kingdom and you can build up your strength there before coming back to take care of the Bing Family."

Lin Fan was completely stunned by Zi Ling's words.

There were many things that he still had to say and many things that he wanted to ask her about, but Zi Ling didn't give Lin Fan a chance to ask anything.

She waved her hand and there was a scroll that appeared in her hand.

Lin Fan knew that something was off, so he quickly said, "Wait, don't…"

But before he could say anything else, Zi Ling had already crushed the scroll in her hand and sent the laws that it contained in Lin Fan's direction.

Lin Fan couldn't be more familiar with the law that Zi Ling had thrown at him since it was one of the laws that he was most familiar with. It was the space laws that he normally used to teleport around with.

However, the space laws that were contained in this scroll far surpassed the level of space laws that he controlled.

Naturally with how powerful these space laws were, he wasn't able to resist them even if he wanted to.

So before he could do anything, there was a flash of light that appeared in front of him before the scenery changed.

As for the people who were still watching, they just watched Lin Fan disappear.

After Lin Fan disappeared, all of the people left on the battlefield all turned to look at Zi Ling as they waited for her to say something.

After all, she was the strongest person here and if she wanted to do something to them, they wouldn't be able to stop her. Especially since Lin Fan who had a relationship with her was already sent away by her…

But she ignored all of them and waited for the old man in the crater to come out.

The old man stood up and came over to where Zi Ling was before bowing down to her. He then said, "Young miss, it was my fault, I wasn't able to protect him properly."

Zi Ling just waved her hand and said, "It's fine, it's fine, didn't it all work out in the end? Not to mention…" She narrowed her eyes when she said this, "It seems like he has found some kind of special encounter."

The old man looked at where Lin Fan was standing before asking, "Young miss, could it be that you were watching the entire time?"

Zi Ling just revealed a knowing smile and said, "Grandpa, do you really want the answer to that?"

The old man just revealed a bitter smile and shook his head without saying anything else.

Then after thinking for a bit, he suddenly asked, "What should we do about the Tai Stellar Kingdom? They're certainly going to make a move after this. It's not like they'll let someone that kills one of their World Realm Experts off that easily."

Zi Ling gave a shrug and said, "That depends on if they're able to do anything."

The old man knitted his brows before suddenly revealing a look of understanding, "Do you mean…?"

Zi Ling gave a nod before saying, "They won't interfere with this matter, but they will not let them cross the lines. So we will be using the influence of our Zi Stellar Kingdom to make sure that they will only target Lin Fan."

The old man knitted his brows again as he asked, "But why would they want people to chase down Lin Fan? Isn't he supposed to be their hope?"

Zi Ling gave a shrug and said, "Who knows what those people are thinking? You should know that they don't tell us anything other than what we need to know." But after stroking her chin for a bit, she suddenly said, "But from what I can tell, it seems like they want to use this experience to train him and see if he can bring out his true power."

Then after a pause, she added, "He's starting to understand how to use his powers, but it's still not at a level that they are satisfied with…Before he reaches that point, they won't act."

The old man shook his head and gave a sigh, but he didn't ask anything else.

Zi Ling was also silent as she was lost in thought, but then she suddenly turned to the people of the Galactic Humanity Alliance and said, "You can do what you want to do, the Tai Stellar Kingdom won't touch this upper realm anymore."

Then without even caring about their response, she disappeared.

When she appeared again, Zi Ling was already standing in front of Lin Fan's shop.

She opened the door, but the people inside weren't happy to see her coming in. After all, she was not the one that they were expecting.

As soon as she saw her, Angela immediately came forward and brought her hand up to her neck as she asked, "Where is he?"

Zi Ling held her hand up and said, "I mean no harm, I'm just here to take care of some things for him."

Angela narrowed her eyes, but then she put her hand down as she waited for Zi Ling to speak.

Zi Ling turned to Mo Ze Chen and said, "You'll run his store for a bit, he's not here anymore."

Once these words fell, Angela's hand was once again brought back to her neck as she asked, "Where is he?" But this time, her tone was much colder and more threatening.

Zi Ling just calmly said, "He's gone off training. I'm sure that he'll build a new store soon and you'll be able to see him again. Isn't that how it works?"

Angela just stared at her without saying a thing before suddenly saying, "Is he alright?"

Zi Ling replied, "I saved him before it got too bad, so he's fine."

Angela kept staring at her for a bit before suddenly giving a snort and turning to head to the back of the store. Yuki gave Zi Ling a glare as well before quickly following Angela into the back.

Zi Ling watched as Angela left with a seemingly calm look on her face, but there were a bit of unknown emotions that were lingering in her eyes.

Before she could say anything else, the door opened again and there were two old men who came in. One was the one she called "grandpa" and the other…was the Lin Family Ancestor.

Lin Ao who had been in the store was shocked to see him, but he quickly came over to ask, "Grandfather, what are you doing here?"

The Lin Family Ancestor gave a nod to Lin Ao before saying, "That's not important now. For now, come with me and I'll take you someplace safe."

Lin Ao knitted his brows as he said, "What about Xiao Fan? Where is he?"

The Lin Family Ancestor gave a sigh before saying, "He's off on a training trip that I arranged, but he'll be back soon."

Lin Ao still was a bit unsettled, but he still gave a nod in response to this and he started following the Lin Family Ancestor along with Yue Qingrou and Lin Xue.

Zi Ling watched all of this and just allowed it to happen. But before they left, she couldn't help asking, "Young master, are you sure that everything will be alright with Lin Fan?"

The Lin Family Ancestor turned to look at Zi Ling before shaking his head and saying, "It's all up to Xiao Fan…" Then after a pause, he added, "But I'll talk to the family and see if they can make things easier for him."

Zi Ling clearly didn't seem like she believed him, but all she could do was give a nod in response to this.

The Lin Family Ancestor shook his head and gave another sigh before waving his hand at Lin Ao to follow him.

Once they were gone, Zi Ling couldn't help looking out the window of the store and saying in a sad voice, "I hope you'll be alright."
