Cultivation Pet Shop

1114 Completely different (18)



When Lin Fan appeared again, he was alone.

He had sent the others back to the ship without him and he had gone somewhere all by himself.

The place that he had appeared in was Wind Snow City, the very first city that he had appeared in.

This was the first place he had stood up in and the place where his first store was, so this was a place that was filled with memories for him.

He gave the excuse that he wanted to get some things for his parents from their old home to go alone, but in reality…he was just feeling nostalgic and emotional that he wanted to go alone.

Both Angela and Momonga also wanted to go along since this first store was the place that they had first met Lin Fan, but he rejected their proposal since he really just wanted to be alone.

He didn't want to show any of the others the side of him that he was about to show.

That was the bit of pride that he had.

So as he walked through the streets of Wind Snow City, he surrounded himself in his laws that made sure that no one saw him.

It was almost like he was a ghost as he walked through these streets, but his eyes were wandering all around him, taking in the various sights in an emotional manner.

It had been too long since he had been in this place that he almost forgot everything that was here.

As he headed to the house that they had lived in before, he started remembering all the things that he saw before.

It wasn't just his memories that filled his mind, there were also the previous Lin Fan's memories. Though now that their souls had fused, it could be considered his memories.

After picking up a few things that he thought his parents and little sister would like from their old home, Lin Fan headed to the shop.

As he walked towards the shop, he found that there were more and more people gathered there.

This was the oldest shop and the first shop, so as the shop that had been open the longest, it had the best customer base. That is other than the shop in the Lin Astral Empire's capital.

But that one was backed by the Lin Astral Family, so it could be said that it was more the Lin Astral Family's prestige that supported the store than Lin Fan's actual abilities as an owner.

As he walked in through the crowd, not a single one of them noticed him.

Once again, it was like he was a ghost as he made his way into the store.

When he came in and saw the employees working there, he found that he didn't recognize a single one of them.

In the past, it has been him and the others working here, but now…there wasn't a single person that he recognized. Even if they worked for him, he had no idea who they were.

That is until he saw a pale girl come out of the back.

This was the only person that he recognized in this shop, but it was for a different reason.

It was because she was one of the undead that Momonga had left behind to manage the shop when everyone had gone to the upper realms.

She was the one who trained all of these new workers that were currently in the shop.

But in the end, she was a weak ghost summoned by Momonga, so there wasn't anything special about her other than her intelligence.

Lin Fan didn't even remember her name.

It didn't feel like this was his store anymore seeing all of these unknown people working in it.

Though he still earned points from the sale, it really felt like this store had become completely different.

But then again, he didn't know what he had been expecting in the first place.

After standing there feeling emotional for a bit, Lin Fan turned to leave with a sigh.

There was nothing for him to do here anymore since this place was no longer his home. He had found a new home in a different place with the ones that he loved, so it was time that he returned to that place.

As he thought this, there was a faint smile that appeared on his face.

But then when he turned to leave, he couldn't help narrowing his eyes as he caught something out of the corner of them.

It was another face that he found was familiar.

He wasn't certain if it was the person he was thinking of, but it looked similar enough that he had to check.

When he followed that figure out of the store and he came closer to them, he found that it was the person that he was thinking of.

It was Luo Qing, his first customer.

It had been a long time since he had seen her and he found…that she looked much older. But that was normal for someone of her cultivation in this lower realm.

The time that they hadn't seen each other had affected her much more than it had him since her lifespan was much shorter than his.

At the same time, he couldn't help being even more surprised by the figure beside her.

This was a little figure that was holding her hand.

It was a little girl who walked beside her that looked very similar to her.

If one looked carefully, they might think that they were sisters…no, they would think that they were mother and daughter.

That was exactly what they were.

The two of them were happily talking to each other as they walked along, not noticing the person that was following them.

Seeing them like this, Lin Fan couldn't help thinking about the past and feeling emotional.

She had been his first customer, his most loyal customer, and the one that had once…

As he let his emotions get the better of him, he lost control of the laws that he used to make himself invisible and soon there were people that noticed him.

With how handsome he was, it was impossible for him not to be the center of attention.

When Luo Qing noticed the crowd around them looking in a single direction, she couldn't help looking in that direction as well. When she saw what they were all looking at, she couldn't help revealing a shocked look.

That was because there was a figure that had appeared in her dreams before, a figure that was the same as the day he left.

This was a figure that she would never be able to forget her entire life…but she was completely different from before.

As she stared at him and he stared at her, there didn't seem to be another person in this world until…

"Mommy, what are you looking at?"

This cute little voice cut through the world that belonged to the two of them and pulled them back into reality.

Luo Qing looked at her daughter and said with an emotional smile, "An old friend."

Her daughter tilted her head when she heard this before turning back to look at Lin Fan and said, "Is it that handsome man over there?"

Luo Qing gave a slow nod.

Her daughter's eyes opened wide and sparkled as she said, "You actually know someone so handsome! I never thought that you would know anyone that handsome since you married daddy!"

Luo Qing and Lin Fan both revealed bitter smiles when they heard this.

But before either of them could say a thing, there was a voice that called out, "Qing Qing, what are you doing here?"

When Lin Fan heard this, he couldn't help feeling that this voice was a bit familiar.

Then when he turned in the direction of that voice, he immediately recognized who it came from. His appearance had changed, but this person was one of the first customers that came to the store, so Lin Fan remembered him.

Not to mention, he was someone who had hung around Luo Qing since the beginning.

It was Murong Quan.

Murong Quan walked over with a smile on his face and picked up the little girl before saying, "Darling, what have you been up to today?"

"Look daddy, there's a handsome man over there and mommy says that he's her friend!" The little girl said in an excited voice.

Murong Quan followed the little girl's finger to look at Lin Fan.

When he saw Lin Fan standing there, he couldn't help being shocked because he also recognized Lin Fan with a single glance.

There were several different emotions that appeared on his face, but then he said with a smile, "Owner Lin, it's been a long time."

Lin Fan also revealed a smile and said, "Xiao Quan, it has been a long time."

Then there was silence because there was nothing else for them to talk about.

But Murong Quan was also secretly peeking at Luo Qing, waiting to see what reaction she had.

He knew about Luo Qing's feelings and it had taken him a long time to be able to wear her down. But now that Lin Fan was back, what if she decided to…?

That was what he had been worried about the most over the past few years.

But Lin Fan didn't wait for them to say anything to turn to Luo Qing and say, "Congratulations."

When she heard this, there were tears that gathered in Luo Qing's eyes that suddenly came down.

The little girl immediately said, "Mommy, why are you crying?"

Luo Qing turned to look at the little girl when she said this and quickly wiped her tears before saying, "Nothing, mommy's not crying."

But then when she looked back where Lin Fan had been, she found that he had disappeared.

She just stared at where he had been standing for a few seconds before turning to Murong Quan to say, "Let's go home."

Murong Quan had a worried look on his face, but he still said with a nod, "Alright."

The family of three headed off like this with mixed feelings in their hearts.
