Cultivation Pet Shop

At the very head of the group was naturally the Lin Astral Emperor and his wife.

As the emperor, no one would be allowed to go before him.

But to the shock of the Mu Stellar Kingdom group, following behind him was someone that they were actually familiar with.

It was Lin Fan.

They couldn't understand why he was walking with them, almost as if he was part of their group.

They had already suspected that Lin Fan was already from a different Stellar Kingdom after seeing all the things that he had done, but no one would have dreamed that he would be from an Astral Empire. Even now, when they saw him walking with the Lin Astral Empire group, not a single one of them had the thought that he was really a part of the group.

They just thought that he was traveling with them for some reason.

Those that had sharp eyes also noticed that the Zi Stellar Kingdom's crown princess was with them, walking right behind Lin Fan. But no one found that strange because they already knew about the crown princess' relationship with Lin Fan.

After the Lin Astral Empire group arrived, the Mu Stellar Kingdom group immediately bowed down, including the Mu Stellar King.

In front of the Lin Astral Empire, of course no one dared to act arrogant.

The Lin Astral Emperor just gave a nod before waving his hand and saying, "You're free to do what you want. We're just here to pick up a few people."

When they heard this, everyone in the Mu Stellar Kingdom group trembled.

No matter how they thought about it, "picking up a few people" didn't sound like a good thing.

But no one dared to say anything in response to this or to stop them because it would be crazy for them to attempt this.

The only thing that they could do was follow behind them just in case anything bad happened.

At the same time, the ministers and generals all started thinking about anything that was wrong with their families. After all, if it was people from their families that the group from the Lin Astral Empire was after, they would surely be implicated in this matter.

They wanted to think of a way to deal with it before being implicated just in case that this was the case.

However, Lin Fan quickly explained the situation.

The Mu Stellar King's chin dropped as he said, "Brother Lin, you're from the Lin Astral Empire?"

Lin Fan nodded with a bitter smile when he heard how loud the Mu Stellar King's voice was. With how loud it was, the moment that it rang out, all of the ministers and generals all turned to look at Lin Fan with shocked looks.

Never in their dreams would they have thought that this person that they had looked down on previously would be related to the Lin Astral Empire.

But with all that was happening, it was impossible for them to deny.

The Mu Stellar King looked at Lin Fan in a daze for a bit, but then he suddenly started moving down, as if he was about to bow to him. At the same time, he started to say, "Your high..."

Before he could finish though, Lin Fan suddenly stopped him and lifted him back up before saying, "Brother Mu, there's no need for you to treat me any differently."

Lin Fan didn't have any intentions of letting the Mu Stellar King act differently towards him.

The Mu Stellar King had treated him with sincerity and had treated him like a brother, which was something that he had quite enjoyed. After all, it was hard to meet people like this in one's life, so Lin Fan didn't want to lose the relationship that they had.

But for the ministers and generals seeing this, they all had excited and greedy looks in their eyes.

They were excited since if their Mu Stellar King had a close relationship with someone from the Lin Stellar Kingdom, that meant great things for their Mu Stellar Kingdom in the future. It could even be said that their Mu Stellar Kingdom would have a powerful safeguard in the future.

But the greed that they had was because they wanted to use this as a stepping stone for something greater.

They could see that Lin Fan was someone who was very young and many of them had single daughters. If they were able to attract Lin Fan's attention with their daughters, they would be able to make a connection to the Lin Astral Empire.

A young man like Lin Fan was an easy target for the beauties that were their daughters so they were very confident in that.

It was just that it wouldn't be easy to meet someone like Lin Fan normally.

But with the connection that was the Mu Stellar King, they would be able to connect Lin Fan with their daughters if they wanted.

After all, these ministers and generals had some weight in the Mu Stellar Kingdom and they could have some sway with the Mu Stellar King.

So it was as if they could already see their bright futures.

They all wanted to follow the Lin Astral Empire group, but with a single glare from the Lin Astral Emperor, they all immediately backed down.

However, they didn't despair because they knew that there was time and chances in the future.

But what they didn't know was that Lin Fan was already taken.

Zi Ling had also taken note of all the people who had looked at Lin Fan with greedy looks. She was preparing to give a list of these people to the Mu Stellar King to take care of in the future since she was sure that they would try to make a move on Lin Fan.

When they arrived at the pet store, the Lin Astral Emperor and his wife couldn't help being surprised by it.

Just like how Angela, Momonga, and Yuki had sensed something before, they couldn't help feeling that there was something special about this store.

But of course, since they were in avatars, their senses weren't as strong as normal.

That was right, the Lin Astral Emperor and his wife were currently in avatars.

After all, the Lin Astral Emperor was a very important person and it wasn't as if he could just run wherever he wanted.

So the only way that he was able to come here was in an avatar.

But even though it was an avatar, it was still in the Ruler Realm, so it showed just how powerful the real Lin Astral Emperor was.

After they entered the store, everyone who was there was surprised to see that Lin Fan was back.

They had thought that Lin Fan would take at least a week before coming back, they never expected him to be back in just three days.

The first one to run out to hug him was Angela, followed by Xin'er.

When the Lin Astral Emperor saw Angela, he couldn't help being surprised since he never thought that Lin Fan would already have someone. That was the main reason why he had arranged for Zi Ling to be with him in the first place.

But now it seemed that he had underestimated Lin Fan.

Lin Fan's family weren't that surprised to see her since they already knew about Angela. Only they were surprised to see her here at the shop since they had thought that she had been sent somewhere safe, instead of being by Lin Fan's side the entire time.

At first, the Lin Astral Emperor didn't feel anything from Angela, but then he couldn't help feeling that it was strange.

The only way that Angela was able to hide her abilities from him was if she was at a higher level of cultivation, or if she didn't have any cultivation at all.

So the Lin Astral Emperor narrowed his eyes to look at her.

But then he relaxed his brows and threw out the doubts that he had.

As far as he could tell, this was a normal human girl and not some kind of expert hiding their cultivation.

He was one of the strongest Rulers, so if he couldn't see through her, there was no one that could see through her.

He didn't believe that someone like that would be with Lin Fan.

So he treated her like a normal person.

This had also been Lin Fan's test.

If it had failed, he wouldn't be able to take Angela with him to the Lin Astral Empire.

After all, while the system had said that it would hide her abilities and her identity, he didn't know if the Lin Astral Emperor had any special techniques.

But it seemed like he couldn't see through her, so he didn't need to worry.

As long as she didn't use any techniques too powerful, it shouldn't expose her.

So Lin Fan introduced his shop to the Lin Astral Emperor and the others.

Not long after, Yuki came out of the back with Momonga.

He had been distracting them so that Yuki could go to the store on the Galactic Humanity Alliance to bring Momonga over.

His plan had been to take Momonga, Yuki, and Angela with him to the Lin Astral Empire.

He had been planning on leaving Xin'er and the rest all behind to take care of this store.

After all, only the three of them would be able to take care of themselves in the Lin Astral Empire.

It was too dangerous for him to take anyone else with him.
