Cultivation Pet Shop

After leaving the building, the neatly dressed man brought Lin Fan and Xin’er to a beast carriage that had been waiting outside.

At first Xin’er was surprised to see the large tigers that were pulling this carriage, but she had the curiosity of a child and she quickly warmed up to the tigers. If it wasn’t for Lin Fan’s insistence, she might have even wanted to ride on the back of the tiger.

They sat down in the carriage and headed off to their destination.

While they were traveling in the carriage, the neatly dressed man finally had a chance to introduce himself.

His name was Dongfang Ming and it turned out that he wasn’t just here to welcome Lin Fan, but also to help him with anything that he needed with the new store.

It seemed like the Dongfang Family, the noble family behind the Swift Lightning Gang, really did invest a lot into this. They were even willing to send one of their subordinates that they allowed to use the same surname as them to help Lin Fan.

Lin Fan could tell that this Dongfang Ming wasn’t weak at all, he was someone who was in the Peak True Soul Realm. It could even be said that he was already a single step into the World Realm and only needed that one opportunity to break through.

Seeing this kind of sincerity, naturally Lin Fan was loved and he had a much better impression of the Dongfang Family.

It wouldn’t have taken them long to arrive at the store, but before they could, there was an incident that happened along the way.

While they were driving through the streets of the capital, Xin’er had been staring out the window at the views. This was her first time seeing all of this, so it was normal for a child like her to be this curious.

Even Lin Fan had never seen a city as prosperous as this, so he couldn’t help being curious. But he wasn’t a child like Xin’er, so he couldn’t stick his head out with Dongfang Ming here as well.

So all he did was secretly glance out the window.

While they were heading through the streets, Xin’er suddenly called out, “Look out!”

Both Lin Fan and Dongfang Ming were surprised to hear this and immediately turned to look in Xin’er’s direction.

After a few seconds of being surprised and seeing that Xin’er was about to jump out of the carriage, Lin Fan went over to stop her while Dongfang Ming went to tell the driver to stop.

Lin Fan caught Xin’er right before she could jump out and asked, “Xin’er, what’s wrong?”

Xin’er quickly turned around and said while pointing at an alley, “Big brother Lin, someone’s in danger over there! We need to go save them!”

Lin Fan looked over at the alley with a confused look but seeing how anxious Xin’er looked, he still decided to get out of the carriage and head over to the alley to check it out.

Dongfang Ming was about to come forward as he said, “Young master Lin, perhaps…”

But before he could finish, Lin Fan raised a hand and said, “It’s fine, I’ll handle it.”

Dongfang Ming clearly had more that he wanted to say based on the look on his face, but since Lin Fan had already spoken, there wasn’t anything that he could say. The only thing that he could do was follow behind them to make sure that they were safe.

However, while they were heading over, Lin Fan had Brainy secretly check the alley with her spiritual sense.

Brainy’s spiritual senses were stronger than Lin Fan’s, so she was able to see right into the alley. She confirmed that there wasn’t anyone that he couldn’t face inside of there at all.

In fact, there wasn’t even anyone in the Soul Realm that was inside of the alley.

When they walked in, Xin’er anxiously pulled Lin Fan’s hand, but he stood there scouting out the situation in the alley first.

To his surprise, it was nothing more than a few thugs who had dragged a young boy into the alley.

This kind of thing was common even in his previous world, not to mention this kind of cultivation world. It really wasn’t something that he had ever cared about.

However, it was clear that Xin’er cared about this very much since she kept pulling at his arm and pointing at the scene in the alley. It was clear that she wanted him to do something to help the boy.

Lin Fan patted her on the head before giving a sigh.

Even though she had been raised in that kind of environment, she was still able to keep this kind of kindness. It really could be considered a miracle and Lin Fan wasn’t willing to let her lose this.

So with another sigh, Lin Fan stood out from where he had been and he walked over towards the thugs. While he was moving out, he made sure to give a hand signal to Dongfang Ming.

Dongfang Ming gave a nod to show that he understood before moving beside Xin’er.

He wasn’t worried that these thugs would be able to do anything to Lin Fan since he could already sense their cultivation. He had already read the report about what Lin Fan had done in the slum city, so he didn’t doubt Lin Fan’s strength.

The thugs didn’t notice Lin Fan approaching at all, but the boy being beaten up did since he was facing Lin Fan.

He couldn’t help being surprised by Lin Fan’s sudden appearance, but he also couldn’t do anything since he was still being beaten up by these thugs.

Lin Fan came up behind these thugs without a sound and then he brought his arms around their neck. He leaned forward and said, “How about we leave things here?”

All of the thugs suddenly turned in the direction of this voice that appeared out of nowhere and revealed looks of shock.

Not a single one of them had sensed Lin Fan approaching just now. If he had wanted, he could have killed them all without making a single sound.

The thugs all moved away from him, putting distance to allow themselves to react if he did anything. The two thugs that he held also tried to do the same thing, but they found that they couldn’t move at all as he held onto them.

They tried pulling out their weapons to attack him while his arms were around them, but before they could even react, all they could see was darkness.

That was because Lin Fan had knocked their heads together and had knocked them out.

All the thugs immediately pulled out their weapons when they saw this and pointed them all at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan gave a sigh before saying, “Like I said, I want to end things here. There’s no need to be like this.”

But it was clear that not a single one of these thugs believed his words since not a single one of them lowered their weapons.

After a moment of silence, Lin Fan just gave a sigh and said, “Alright, since you won’t listen, then don’t blame me for being impolite.”

The thugs felt a chill run down their spine at the end of these words, but Lin Fan didn’t give them a chance to react at all. He disappeared from where he had been standing and when he reappeared again, he was standing in front of the boy on the ground.

All the thugs turned to look in his direction, but before they could fully turn, all of their visions turned dark and they fell to the ground.

All of the thugs here were only in the Platinum Realm, so there was no chance that they would be able to react to Lin Fan’s speed, let alone take a hit from him.

After he had taken care of the thugs, Lin Fan reached his hand down to the boy and asked, “Are you alright?”

The boy couldn’t respond since he still hadn’t been able to react to what had just happened.

One moment these things had been beating him up and the next, these thugs were all unconscious on the ground.

Just who was this man in front of him?

The boy looked up at Lin Fan in a daze after this thought passed through his mind.

Seeing that the boy wasn’t reacting at all, Lin Fan picked him up by the collar and helped him up.

It was at this time that Xin’er ran over and started looking all over the boy as she asked, “Are you alright? Where does it hurt?”

The boy was once again surprised by the sudden appearance of this girl and in his daze, he replied, “It’s fine, it’s nothing that I’m not used to.”

Xin’er still had a worried look on her face as she turned to look at Lin Fan with a pleading look.

Lin Fan shook his head and gave another sigh, but he really couldn’t say no if Xin’er were to look at him like this.

So he raised his hand and there was a pill that appeared in it.

He tossed the pill over to the boy and said, “Eat this. It’ll heal you up.”

The boy was barely able to catch it and came close to dropping it, but he still caught it in the end. However, even after catching it, he didn’t eat it right away and instead looked at it with a doubtful look.

Xin’er revealed a slightly angry look when she saw this, so she took the pill and stuffed it in the boy’s mouth as she said, “Eat it! Big brother Lin already said that it’s good for you!”

The boy was stunned, but he also couldn’t stop himself from swallowing the pill.

After swallowing the pill, he wanted to spit it out since he wasn’t sure if it was poison or not. But then he felt the pill going to work and starting to heal all his wounds.

It didn’t take long before all his wounds had been completely healed.

He then looked up at Lin Fan with a look of respect as he asked, “Who are you?”
