Cultivation Pet Shop

337 Chapter 337

There was a moment of silence before Lin Fan came forward and cupped his hands to the dark figure as he said, "Senior, thank you for your help."

The dark figure quickly waved his hands and said, "Young master Lin, I don't dare take this gratitude."

Who was he kidding, this was the person that the princess had specially told him to protect which meant that he was clearly someone important. Since he was someone important, of course he couldn't take this gratitude.

Lin Fan was confused when he saw this since he clearly didn't know why this person would treat him with this kind of respect. He could tell that this person was as strong as the people he had met in the Sacred Rock Realm, which meant that he was clearly from a Stellar Kingdom.

This dark figure was no one else than that person who had been with Zi Ling, the one that she had left to protect Lin Fan.

He had been following Lin Fan this entire time, but he had never appeared because of the instructions of the princess. Unless Lin Fan's life was in absolute danger, he shouldn't reveal himself.

In this situation where he was surrounded by these experts at the level of Stellar Kingdoms, it would be hard for him to escape, so this dark figure had no choice but to reveal him.

It was too bad that he didn't know about Lin Fan's real power. It could even be said that he had saved those beasts and those upper realm experts.

Lin Fan didn't remain on this and moved on from this as he changed the topic by asking, "This senior, may I  ask who you are?"

The dark figure just calmly said, "Young master Lin, who I am is not important. What is important is that young master Lin knows that my master is looking out for you."

After saying this, the dark figure took out a token that he threw over to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan easily caught it and when he looked it over, he found that there was a purple fairy that was carved on this pure gold token. As well, he could feel a kind of aura that was coming from this token which seemed somewhat familiar.

The dark figure continued after throwing this token to Lin Fan, "Young master Lin, when there is a chance, please come to our Stellar Kingdom with that token and meet our young lady. She is looking forward to seeing you."

Then before Lin Fan could say a thing, that dark figure had disappeared.

When the dark figure had given this token to Lin Fan, there was a single thought in his mind. He wanted to build a good relationship between this young man and his young miss since it was clear that this young man was quite good.

Or to put it more specifically, he was quite handsome.

If he could be more direct, he would even say that this young man resembled himself when he was younger.

This dark figure was someone who had watched Zi Ling grow up, so naturally he cared for her very much and one thing that he especially cared about was the biggest matter in her life. There were many flies that kept crowding around his young miss, but there wasn't a single one that he was satisfied with since in the end, they were all trash that only wanted her for her beauty and status. None of them even cared about the real Zi Ling.

For him, someone that was worthy of the young miss had to be stronger than him, as handsome as him, and of course someone that the young miss cared about.

The fact that the young miss had asked him to watch over Lin Fan was clear that her feelings for him weren't normal. As for strength, while he wasn't strong enough right now, he had been able to see through Lin Fan's body earlier and could see that talent that resided in him. If he was given time, Lin Fan would clearly become a peak expert.

Then when it came to handsomeness, there was nothing to complain about.

He was already handsome before, but now that he had undergone his tribulation, he had reached a point where even this dark figure had to admit that he was more handsome than he was when he was younger. But that was only admitted in secret and he would never say it out loud. He would still say that he was the more handsome one when he had been younger.

So just like that, he gave Lin Fan the token that Zi Ling had ordered him to give Lin Fan.

He had never given this token before because he wanted to see if Lin Fan was worthy of it, but now he finally acknowledged him.

After giving him that token, the dark figure went back into hiding to watch over Lin Fan.

But in truth, he wasn't watching over Lin Fan by following him and watching over him every second. He had left a trace of his spiritual sense on Lin Fan that would tell him when Lin Fan was in danger, but that was it since of course he was also a busy person.

There were many things that he hadn't seen, such as Lin Fan's tribulation from earlier.

If he did, he would definitely be saying many different things now.

After the dark figure was gone, there was only Lin Fan's group that was left in this room.

Of course, since there was nothing left for them here either, they also left these ruins.

When they came all the way out, all the beasts that had been surrounding these ruins had disappeared and all the experts of the human realm were also gone. There wasn't a single living soul that was surrounding the building that the ruins were built on.

Lin Fan and his group headed over to where the Lin Family ancestor's private airship had been parked and they headed off back to Snow Wind City since this matter had been settled.

If this was any other situation, this matter wouldn't have been settled so easily, but since the artifacts were gone, there was nothing left for them to do.

Without enough benefits, there was no reason for those upper realm factions to remain in this lower realm any longer. Moreover, they were weary of Lin Fan, so instead of provoking him by staying and watching over him, it was more likely they would send a delegate in a few days to smooth things over with him after all the tension in the ruins.

Of course, that only applied for the humans. The Beast Race and the humans were still enemies, so of course they couldn't send a delegate to pull Lin Fan to their side.

Not to mention that the Shadow Lord had invested quite a few of his forces into creating that distraction that had pulled the upper realm away, preventing them from sending stronger reinforcements. If he didn't take the time to recoup and continued to attack the Blue Star Planet, the losses that he suffered would be too heavy.

Since both sides pulled back now, that meant that they had lost interest in this realm and other than posting a few scouts to see if they could still find the artifacts, they would be moving most of their forces back to the respective realms.

That meant that the Blue Star Realm was now nothing more than an ordinary realm.

All the upper realm forces that had invested here wouldn't pull out all their investment, but they would definitely reduce the amount they invested here. Other than drawing in a few talented people from time to time, this lower realm was nothing more than a farm to them now.

But it was all a pity to them since Lin Fan didn't plan on staying here either.

Now that he had finally broken through, he had surpassed the limits of this realm and it was time for him to explore the upper realm.

The upper realm would definitely have more resources for him and his pet shop. To achieve his goal of finding the ones that brought him here, he wouldn't shy away now, he would charge straight up to the upper realm.

It didn't take him long to return to Snow Wind City where everyone was waiting with bated breath for his return.

Even though they had received news from the Union Government that everything was over now, the Union Government's approval rating was abysmal in Snow Wind City. But that was just the consequences that one suffered when they decided to sacrifice an entire city.

Still once Lin Fan confirmed that everything was indeed over, everyone that had been on the defensive wall broke out in cheers.

Contrary to the Union Government, Lin Fan's approval rating was through the roof since he was the only person that had been willing to come to their rescue.

But Lin Fan didn't have time to care about them since he was in a rush to handle his own affairs. He didn't have much time before he would ascend to the upper realm.

After a few perfunctory words for the various forces of Snow Wind City, he headed back to the pet shop to prepare a few things before heading back to True Light City with the Lin Family ancestor. His family were still with the Lin Family right now.

But before any of that could happen, the Lin Family ancestor received news that shocked both of them.
