Cultivation Pet Shop

Chapter 158 - 158: Birthday Party



When Mu Bo Hai left the store with Zhu Ba Jie and Zhang Liang, they both had happy smiles on their faces.

After a few negotiations, Lin Fan had reached a deal that they were satisfied with and had agreed to build a branch store in Water Pearl City. However, he did state that he would only be able to head over in another month since he wanted to make sure that this store was doing well before heading over.

​​

Zhu Ba Jie and Zhang Liang both had no problems with this request since it was quite a normal request and had stated that they would be waiting for him with everything prepared in a month.

At least now he had decided on which city to set up his second branch shop in. With the support of a local tyrant, it would be much easier for him to set up the shop and reach the level of fame that the system required him to reach.

But then there was still his third store to consider.

Of course he wanted the third store to also be in a S Ranked City, but there were only three cities on the Eastern Continent to choose from. Not to mention that two of them were ruled by families that he wanted to avoid.

There was the city ruled by the Lin Family, the family that his father came from who he was currently trying to build up power to fight. Then there was the other city that was ruled by the Jiang Family, the family who had imprisoned the lover of Jiang Zhi Shu, the family that Jiang Zhi Shu was asking Lin Fan to fight. For now, he wanted to avoid both of those cities until he had finished building up his forces.

The Legendary Realm Experts of those families were nothing to laugh at.

They had been in the Legendary Realm for many years, building strength to move up or spending the rest of their lives in this lower realm, so most of the family heads were already in the high Fragmented Soul Realm, coming close to the peak Fragmented Soul Realm.

As for the final S Ranked City, Lin Fan didn't have much information on it other than the city's name and the surname of the family, but none of that meant anything to him.

When he thought of this Lin Fan came to the realization that his current information network really was too shallow. During the next month, he should start building an information network with Jiang Zhi Shu's group and bring them over with him to Water Pearl City.

Once everyone was gone and the store was quiet, Lin Fan fell into thought as he began planning out his next moves.

A week passed just like this and soon the day of Lin Xue's birthday was here.

Lin Fan of course was planning on going since this was a family event, one that he had never experienced on earth, so it was something that he quite looked forward to.

When the day came, Lin Fan just left the morning rush to his employees and went through the Any Place Door to head back to Snow Wind City.

For some reason though, Song Shu insisted on going with Lin Fan to the birthday party.

While she insisted that it was just for her to meet his parents as his apprentice, but the blush on her face told a different story. However, Lin Fan didn't ask too deeply since he didn't want to open up that hole.

When they came back to the shop in Snow Wind City, it was also currently the morning rush in this store. Momonga was casually sitting at his usual desk surfing the web while his ghost maids were taking care of the customers.

When the customers saw Lin Fan appear, they all immediately crowded him.

"Owner Lin, when did you come back to Snow Wind City?"

"Owner Lin, can you take me as your disciple?"

"Owner Lin, who is this cute little girl?"

"Owner Lin, please give me your babies!"

When Lin Fan turned to look at the person who spoke last, he turned to see an old woman being held back by what seemed to be her grandson…

Lin Fan's face turned dark and he quickly grabbed Momonga before moving to the back of the store.

There was still some time before the party and there were a few things that Lin Fan had found in Green Wood City that he wanted Momonga to appraise. He took them out in the back, but Momonga was more interested in something else.

Momonga looked over Song Shu before asking, "Xiao Fan, did your tastes change? Is this the kind of thing you're into now?"

Song Shu's cheeks turned red and she buried her face in her hands.

Lin Fan had a dark look before he slapped Momonga in the back of the head. Then he said, "She's my apprentice, stop letting your mind wander. Just help me appraise these things."

Momonga just revealed a smile like he was enjoying this, but he still went over to the items to appraise them. Of course, he didn't forget to add, "Well, just don't forget, yes loli, no touch."

Lin Fan had a dark look on his face as he glared at him, but he didn't do anything else.

He could slap the back of Momonga's head since they had become friends over the span of a few months, but Momonga no matter what was still the all powerful Lich King, there were still limits to what he could do.

Once Momonga finished appraising all the items that Lin Fan brought out for him, the morning rush had ended and it was about time for Lin Xue's party.

Since it was a special occasion, Lin Fan closed up the shop and brought everyone back to his house for the party. Especially since before he knew what had happened, Momonga had become close friends with his parents. According to the calls he made to his parents from time to time, they would always talk about how good Momonga was at talking…

Once they arrived at their house, Lin Fan had found that it had completely changed.

Gone was the shabby house that the Lin Family had once lived in, gone was the neighbourhood full of broken down houses. In its place, there were various different luxury manors that had appeared all the way down the street.

Outside the manor that was where his house had been, there were many reporters waiting.

The moment he had appeared, all the reporters surrounded him and started taking pictures.

While Lin Fan was trapped by the reporters, there was a voice that called out, "Brother Lin, is that you?"

Lin Fan turned to see Boss Gao coming over with his parents and Mei Rou. He quickly waved to them and shouted, "What's going on here?"

Boss Gao came over and with his family, they brought Lin Fan's group through the crowd and past the gate to the door of his house.

Only then did Boss Gao explain, "Since the destruction of the Feng Family, every family has heard of your name and with Lord Mu's support, everyone wanted to get closer to your family, that's why they all moved here. The manors around this one all belong to one of the three royal families. As for the rest of the manors, they all belong to various noble families."

Lin Fan was surprised to see just how much had changed in a single month, but he was glad for this change. With all these nobles and royals gathered together, it meant that his family was definitely safer than before. It seemed like Mu Bo Hai had kept his promise.

Then he turned to point at the crowd of reporters who were kept outside the gate and asked, "Then what about them? Why are there all these reporters?"

Boss Gao laughed and said, "It's the birthday of the most famous little sister in Snow Wind City, it's a party that gathers all the upper class of Snow Wind City, so of course they're here to get a scoop. As for you, you're the most famous person in Snow Wind City after what you did to the Feng Family, of course you're the one they want to interview the most."

Then Lin Fan said with slightly knitted brows, "Is Xiao Xue happy with her party being turned into an event like this?"

Boss Gao said with a smile, "Of course your family just wanted a small event, but they knew that they couldn't do that with their current status. It would bring shame to you if you only held a small event, so they decided to hold this big event in the end. But you don't have to worry since Brother Wang and I took care of everything. There's only a big event in the front for everyone and we only have to appear at the end, but the real party is being held in the back with all your family and friends."

Lin Fan wanted to say something else, but there was a commotion that drew his attention that came from the reporters.

When he turned to look over to see what the cause of this was, he saw a group walking through the reporters that were having their pictures taken.

When the group finally made it through the crowd and came through the gate, Lin Fan felt a bit awkward seeing who it was.

It was Luo Qing who he hadn't seen since he had last said goodbye to a month ago...
