Cultivation Pet Shop

Lin Fan spent another two weeks going in between Rock Mountain City, Water Pearl City, and Green Wood City, taking care of all the things he needed to prepare.

When he meant going home, he didn't mean just heading back to Snow Wind City. Lin Fan was finally going to deal with the Lin Family.

It had been strange for him over the past few months since there hadn't been a single move from the Lin Family, but now he felt he had finally developed enough power to deal with them. Since that was the case and he had finished off his quest for the system, it was time for him to head home.

After all, for the next quest, the system was asking him to break through to the Legendary Realm.

Lin Fan in the process of cultivating had felt that there was something blocking him. He could tell that if he were able to break through to the peak Platinum Realm, there would be nothing stopping him to Fragmented Soul Realm, but there was something that was stopping him from reaching the peak Platinum Realm.

That one thing was the Lin Family.

The way the Lin Family had treated him and his family had left a mark on his heart, not to mention that he had been worrying about retaliation from the Lin Family the entire time. All of this formed a kind of heart demon for Lin Fan and without being able to resolve this, he wouldn't be able to take the final step in his cultivation.

Lin Fan during his time in Rock Mountain City had already reached the high Platinum Realm with his slow accumulation. Now there was only one thing left.

So after taking care of everything in Rock Mountain City, he left Jiang Zhi Shu in charge of the fourth store before finally heading back to Snow Wind City.

He could have taken Jiang Zhi Shu and all his subordinates with him and taken on the Lin Family, but then he felt that this method wasn't right. If he were to do this, this wouldn't just be a simple internal family struggle, it would actually involve outside forces such as the Jiang Family now that Jiang Zhi Shu had been taken back.

If that were to happen, there was the chance that the ancestor of the Lin Family would be involved and it would become much bigger than it should be.

And a small part of him also wanted to be the one that brought his family back to show them off. He wanted to proudly let his father stand in front of everyone else from the Lin Family.

After handing everything over, Lin Fan took the Any Place Door back to Snow Wind City.

He left Angela and Song Shu in the store before heading back home.

He made sure that he attracted no attention by directly using the spatial laws to appear in front of his family's door before walking in with the key he had.

When he came in, he was surprised to see someone he never thought he would see there.

Standing in the hallway with a plate of freshly cooked food was Luo Qing.

She was surprised to hear the door suddenly open, but then when she saw Lin Fan standing in the door, she was so shocked that she almost dropped the plate that she had been holding.

There was a voice from the kitchen that called out, "Xiao Qing, who is it?"

But neither Luo Qing nor Lin Fan answered this voice.

Eventually, the owner of the voice came out of the kitchen and into the hall to see Lin Fan herself.

Yue Qingrou was also surprised to see Lin Fan, but what she did first was not greet Lin Fan. She went over to Luo Qing and pinched her thigh gently, waking her up from her shock.

Luo Qing jumped up slightly before looking at Yue Qingrou who was hinting at Lin Fan with her eyes.

Luo Qing then reacted to what Yue Qingrou was hinting at and while holding the plate in her hands, she lowered her head and said in a shy voice, "Welcome home."

Lin Fan was jolted back from his shock when he heard this and he quickly said, "I'm home." But then he found it strange and he couldn't help asking, "Wait, what are you doing in my house?"

Luo Qing blushed even more when she heard this. She lowered her head and didn't answer as she turned around, heading into the dining room to put down the plate in her hand.

Yue Qingrou looked at Lin Fan with a knowing smile and said, "Did you like what you saw? Your mom has been working hard for you."

Then leaving Lin Fan behind with three black lines on his face and no time to respond, Yue Qingrou followed Luo Qing into the dining room.

Lin Fan just stood there for a bit, not knowing how to react to this.

There were many complicated feelings in his heart when he saw this scene, but the one that filled his heart the most was fear.

He knew what Angela would do to him if she were to ever find out about this. Even if she would never show it in front of his mom, he knew that he would be in trouble…

But he also couldn't help feeling a bit of complicated feelings towards Luo Qing.

Even though he had rejected her, here she was…

He really didn't know what to say, but there were a few feelings that he didn't want to admit in his heart.

While he was lost in his thoughts, there was a cold snort that suddenly came from the staircase in the hall that brought him back to reality.

Lin Fan looked up to find Lin Xue standing there with a look of disdain on her face as she looked at him.

She saw him look over and said, "Did you enjoy it?"

Then without giving him a chance to respond just like Yue Qingrou, she turned around and headed back upstairs. After a few seconds, he could hear the slamming of her door.

What he didn't see was her expression of joy at the fact that he was back and the voodoo doll that she had with a picture of Luo Qing's face on it, one that was completely filled with pins.

Lin Fan really didn't know how to react to all of this, so he did the only thing that he knew how to do. He threw all of it into the back of his mind and headed into the dining room.

In the dining room that also had a living room, Yue Qingrou and Luo Qing were setting up the dining table while Lin Ao was sitting on the sofa watching television.

Lin Ao wasn't surprised to see Lin Fan since he had already heard the commotion outside and the whispers between Yue Qingrou and Luo Qing, so he had already figured it out. The one thing he did do was take out a bottle of his finest wine and he kept it beside him, waiting for dinner to start.

Lin Fan came over to his father and said, "I'm home."

Lin Ao just gave a nod and said, "Un."

It was like he didn't really care, but one could tell that this was enough for this father and son.

It didn't take long before the dining table was finished setting up and dinner was ready.

Once it was all set up, Luo Qing took off the apron that she had on and put it in the kitchen before going to the door.

But before she could leave, Yue Qingrou stopped her and said, "Xiao Qing, where are you going?"

Luo Qing said in an awkward voice, "Aunty, Lin Fan is back, so I'm sure that you want to have a nice family dinner. I'll just go home tonight."

Yue Qingrou wouldn't let her go. She came behind her and pushed her back to the dining table, not taking no for an answer as she said, "Xiao Qing, you know you're also part of the family."

After saying this, she looked over at Lin Fan who was trying his hardest to avoid this gaze.

Yue Qingrou revealed a slightly annoyed look when she saw this, but then she said with a smile, "What are you all doing? Get over here, it's time for dinner."

Everyone gathered at the table and Lin Xue also came down after Yue Qingrou called her, but before they could eat, there was another problem to solve. It was where everyone would sit.

The table that they had was a table for six with one seat at either end and two on the longer sides. That meant that someone had to sit with someone else.

Before they could even say a thing, Yue Qingrou made the first strike, "Xiao Fan, come and sit over here with your father."

The spot that Yue Qingrou was putting him in was on one of the sides with two seats, but it was by his father who was at the head of the table, so it did make sense.

Then before anyone else could say a thing, especially Lin Xue who had already begun moving for the seat beside Lin Fan, Yue Qingrou suddenly said, "Xiao Qing, come and sit beside Xiao Fan. I'm sure you guys also have a lot to catch up on."

Luo Qing was completely caught off guard and wanted to reject this, but there was also a small part of her that was unwilling to reject this…

So it was just like that that this awkward seating arrangement was set.
