Cultivation Pet Shop

The door opened up and revealed the inside of the room to Lin Fan, which had shocked him the moment that he saw it.

Just like with all the other rooms, this one was also in complete disarray, but the one difference was that there was blood all over this room.

This blood wasn't splattered in a way that indicated that the people inside were attacked, rather it was splattered in a way that suggested that these people had willingly shed their blood.

Lin Fan turned around to look at the back of the door and as he had expected, there was an array that was drawn in blood on the back of the door.

This array drawn in blood was different from a normal array. This was an array that utilized the life force of the people who drew this array, which made it much stronger than a normal array. To put it simply, they had used their very lives to draw this array and such a price naturally had a corresponding power.

But that confused Lin Fan even more.

Just what was inside this room that was worth the people here sacrificing their lives to protect?

Looking around, he hadn't been able to find anything special until he came to the very back of the room where there was a desk that had been untouched. 

Atop this desk, there was a piece of paper and a sealed box that was placed there.

Lin Fan picked up the piece of paper first and he found that it was a final message from the people who had been in this room. The first part of the letter was just their farewell, but the second part of the letter was strange.

Especially the one part that said, "For the glory of our lord, we will protect this box entrusted to us even in death."

This made Lin Fan even more confused.

It was clear that there was something that was very important in this box, but what was so important that they could not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for?

It wasn't as if there was the direct descendant of their lord in this box, not to mention that even if there was, this box was clearly too small for it to fit in.

Still, Lin Fan put down the letter and turned his attention to the box.

Based on the glowing surface of the box, it was clear that there was also some kind of array that was placed on this box protecting it. However, when Lin Fan's hand touched the box, the array suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The array on the box was similar to the one on the door, it was designated to dissipate when it recognized a certain life energy signature. That life energy signature naturally came from the lord they served, who was the ruler of this realm.

Because of Lin Fan's limited Spatial Ring that was only designated for use in lower realms, it couldn't fully contain the aura of the throne that he had been given. In fact, if it wasn't for the throne choosing to go into the Spatial Ring itself, it would have been impossible for the throne to enter Lin Fan's Spatial Ring.

The aura of the throne was the same aura as the ruler since this throne had followed the ruler through most of his life's journey, it was the artifact the ruler used the most, so it had the same life energy signature.

The arrays had felt the life energy signature of the throne leaking out which was why Lin Fan had been able to easily open both of these arrays.

While he was confused as to why these arrays opened so easily, Lin Fan chose not to question it as he opened the box.

When the box opened, it revealed a small round object inside that was like a smooth stone, but when Lin Fan looked at it closely, he found that it was an egg.

He could feel the life force that was coming from the egg, which meant that it was still alive, but that was also surprising because that meant that this egg had been able to last for fifty thousand years.

Still, the fact that there was this egg meant that he could at least keep his promise to the winged man. Not to mention that since it was only an egg, he was able to put it into his system storage and take it back with him without having to use the teleportation crystal.

The teleportation crystal was a rare object and the fact that he didn't have to use it was a good thing for him.

Once the egg entered the system's storage, it was registered by the system and gained a new name in his interface. The name that the system gave the egg was "Angel Egg".

The first thought that came into Lin Fan's mind was, "Could people have eggs? Angels could be considered close to humans, so why did they leave behind eggs?"

But thinking about this wouldn't help him now, so Lin Fan shook this thought out of his mind since there were still plenty of things that he had to do first.

After all, he had already paid the price of admission to this realm and if he didn't get his money's worth, it would have been a shame.

So Lin Fan turned to look at the two pets who had been resting by the door. The moment that his gaze fell onto them, both of them felt a chill run down their backs and they couldn't help trembling.

Lin Fan dragged the two of them out just like that and they continued training by fighting the wisps. When Lin Fan was finally satisfied with the level that the two pets reached, he brought them back to the pet shop.

When the two pets saw the cages in the shop, they couldn't be any happier as they immediately jumped in and reveled in that warm feeling that it gave them.

Lin Fan didn't mind them as he went upstairs to the break room.

He could tell that both Angela and Momonga weren't back yet because the system's employee panel showed that they hadn't used a teleport to return to this realm. Instead of going back home to be alone, he might as well stay in this shop and cultivate for the night, which was what he did.

When the sun rose in the morning, Lin Fan stood up and stretched himself out before going around the shop preparing to open.

After that, Lin Fan made a quick run to one of the stands that were operating outside for breakfast before just sitting there waiting for the opening of the store, feeling bored.

Seeing that he had some time, Lin Fan finally went online to the forum to check out the hot posts and he found that quite a few of them were about him. As he read them, he finally understood why everyone cared so much about his store yesterday. It seemed like the old man from the Qiao Family really did have quite the reputation.

While Lin Fan was silently scrolling along on his watch, the crowd began gathering outside.

Throughout the night, the post about whether Lin Fan's shop was a scam or not had been shared by millions of people and made it to the front page of the city forums. Many people who didn't know about Lin Fan's store yesterday had all come today after seeing the posts online and wanted to join in the fun. After all, this was also a chance to see at least two of the Five Flowers of Harmony City, which was a rare chance in itself.

There were also quite a few girls that came because of how handsome Lin Fan was. As well as some men…

As it came closer and closer to Lin Fan's opening time, the street filled with more and more people who had all come to join in the fun. It was a good thing that Lin Fan had closed his shades or he would have seen all the people who were almost pressed up against his windows, trying to sneak a peek inside.

Finally when it was just five minutes before nine, there were three carriages that had arrived at the same time.

Everyone became excited because they recognized the carriages that had arrived and when they opened, many people stretched their necks out to get a better look.

The three girls ignored all of them and through paths created for them, they came to the door at the front of the crowd and waited for Lin Fan's store to open.

The five minutes passed quickly and when Lin Fan opened the store door, he was surprised to see all the people that were standing outside. There was even a bigger crowd compared to yesterday.

However, Lin Fan didn't panic as he invited his customers in before opening the shades.

Lin Fan's store was big, but it definitely wasn't big enough for this entire crowd to fit in, so after it reached capacity, the rest of the people all crowded the windows. There was even someone who was smart enough to bring broadcasting equipment which allowed them to broadcast to the crowd that couldn't reach the window.

After Lin Fan sat down behind the counter, the three girls came up in front of him and Qiao Yi Fei asked, "Owner Lin, are our pets ready for pickup?"

Even though she asked this, she clearly didn't believe that Lin Fan would have the pets ready for them.

Lin Fan looked up at her and gave a nod before standing up to go into the back.

After two minutes of waiting for Lin Fan to return, they finally heard his footsteps coming back along with a pair of heavy footsteps which was clearly the bear that Mao Tao had left yesterday.

After another minute, Lin Fan slowly walked out from the back with the two pets in tow..

Both of the pets had unwilling looks as they looked into the back, as if there was something there that they missed. However, even with the unwilling looks on their faces, they didn't dare drag their feet as Lin Fan pulled them out.

Qiao Yi Fei and Mao Tao were surprised since they had never seen their pets behave like this with anyone but them.

When Lin Fan finally reached the front counter and the two pets saw their owners, they immediately rushed forward to them as if they couldn't be happier to see them.

Lin Fan didn't care about this and just released the leash he had been using to let them go.

When Qiao Yi Fei and Mao Tao carefully looked over their pets, they were shocked by what they saw.
