After they finished this talk, they left the Monster Trainer Union and headed back to the beast carriage that Zhu Tie had been waiting in the entire time.
Since they left the beast carriage, it had already been more than two hours, so Zhu Tie was getting quite bored sitting inside.
Of course, the idea of leaving the beast carriage never entered his mind since that was never a part of his personality and to leave without Lin Fan's group, he couldn't do that without facing the wrath of his grandfather which he feared even more than going outside without a mask.
In the end Zhu Tie could only patiently wait in the carriage for Lin Fan's return. However, he was also a master of finding things to do since he was someone who stayed in his room all day.
It was a good thing that he had brought his laptop with him.
When Lin Fan and the others returned to the carriage, they found Zhu Tie laying on his stomach on the seat with his feet kicked up as he was browsing the web on his laptop. It almost looked like he was just relaxing at home without a care, like he wasn't outside at all.
When Zhu Tie saw that Lin Fan and the others were back, he turned back to his laptop and turned back to Lin Fan before quickly sitting up and putting the laptop away.
Lin Fan and the others all had smiles on their faces, but they didn't call Zhu Tie out on what he did. Lin Fan even felt a bit of a connection with Zhu Tie since he had quite often stayed home just to catch up on his favourite animes and mangas when he wasn't being called out by the other young masters.
Yu Ning only led them out before leaving since the shop wasn't opening today, she had no reason to go with them. She still had to take care of a few matters in the Monster Trainer Union before she could run off and work in his store.
Without a word about Zhu Tie's behaviour, the beast carriage headed off towards the site of the store that the Zhu Family had prepared for Lin Fan.
This store was of course once again in the most popular business street of the city, but this time it wasn't a store that had once been a pet shop.
The store that had been prepared had been one of the most popular training halls in all of Water Pearl City that had been run by the Zhu Family. But suddenly, a week ago, this training hall was shut down without any warning by the Zhu Family.
All the disciples that had been training there had been confused as to why it had shut down, but they were equally shocked the next day when it was announced that there would be a pet shop being set up using this location.
When the beast carriage reached the shop and Lin Fan came out, everyone's attention quickly fell onto them as they walked into the store.
Everyone had slowly lost interest in the Zhu Family's previous training hall after a whole week of inactivity, but now it seemed like something was happening.
It started with one person taking out their phone to take a picture to post on their social media network, but soon this quickly spread all over Water Pearl City and everyone was gathering outside the store to see what was happening inside. It was too bad that Lin Fan had closed the blinds.
Lin Fan walked around the store and was quite satisfied with what he saw. This store was quite big, so big that he might even have empty space after the remodeling.
Of course he didn't care that it used to be a training hall, that was where the system came in.
After he finished walking around and familiarizing himself with the store, Lin Fan led everyone back out once again and locked the door behind him.
The crowd that had gathered outside was surprised to see him come out again and they had no idea what was happening as they just stared at Lin Fan and his group standing outside the store. Then after five minutes, Lin Fan led the group back into the store.
During this time, they hadn't heard a single sound that came from inside the store.
When they came back into the store, Zhu Tie and Song Shu's chins dropped to the ground when they saw what was inside.
Zhu Tie couldn't believe that in just five minutes, the entire store had been remodeled.
Song Shu had a look of disbelief because the layout of this store was exactly the same as the store in Green Wood City.
As for Angela, she wasn't surprised since something like this was just a wave of a hand for a God Realm Expert like Lin Fan's master.
Lin Fan gave a nod of satisfaction before leading them around, looking over the different facilities while also giving Zhu Tie a tour in preparation for tomorrow.
The store wasn't that different from the one in Green Wood City, but that was mainly because Lin Fan hadn't completed any missions, so he never gained any new facilities for his store.
But the ones that were in the store already were enough to completely shock Zhu Tie.
His grandfather had actually given him the task of looking over Lin Fan's store to see what his secrets were, but Zhu Tie couldn't make any sense of what he saw. Once the tour was over, he was just as confused as when he first came into the store, but Lin Fan didn't give him a second tour.
After making sure that everything was functional, Lin Fan led them out of the store again.
During this time, Angela for some reason had been walking outside with Song Shu since she hadn't been interested in the tour. She had wandered around the neighbourhood and had found a park nearby.
When Lin Fan came out to find her, he saw her staring at a couple that were sitting at a bunch sharing a meal that the girlfriend had made.
He didn't understand why she was looking at them like that, but he would soon find out later at dinner.
Lin Fan called out to Angela who quickly came back to her senses and they headed back to the Zhu Manor to rest up for tomorrow.
…
When they came back, Angela disappeared for the rest of the afternoon.
Lin Fan offered to play with her and Song Shu, but she strangely disappeared without a trace during the afternoon, taking Song Shu with her.
So Lin Fan spent the entire afternoon cultivating and reading a few books that he had put aside.
When it was time to dinner, he still didn't see Angela, but the maids came to bring him to the dining table.
Everyone was gathered in the dining hall, except for Angela and Song Shu.
At the table, everyone's place had been set and they had their dishes in front of them, with the sole exception of Lin Fan.
When he was about to ask where his food was, there was a cart that was pushed out of the kitchen and the ones pushing the cart were Angela and Song Shu.
The other members of the Zhu Family smiled when they saw this because they all thought it was sweet, but Lin Fan's face turned dark the moment he saw this.
He knew that there was only one way this was going to end, especially with girls that had personalities like Angela's. This was a very common trope that was found in many different stories and he would soon be another casualty.
But now he also knew the reason why Angela had been in a daze this afternoon.
Even though they had been together for over three months now, they didn't do many of the things that normal couples did because Angela didn't know what normal couples did. Momonga who was having fun watching them had given her a few suggestions, but she had never taken them because of her distrust for him.
But when she saw how the couple acted in the park this afternoon, there was a twinge in her heart that made her feel that it would be nice if she could act that way with Lin Fan.
So after coming back to the Zhu Manor, she had spent the entire afternoon preparing this meal for Lin Fan. Seeing her shy appearance and how she had dragged Song Shu along with her, the hearts of the maids had melted and they did their best to help Angela, but even then it didn't mean that she could cook well.
In the end, the maids chose to believe in the power of love…
When Lin Fan took the dome off the dish that was placed in front of him, it was just like he had imagined.
It was a pile of black sludge and there was a part of it that was still moving, making a strange sound as it moved.
For some reason, the people of the Zhu Family didn't find this strange at all and all looked at Xu Yi with gazes that made it seem like they were enjoying this.
Lin Fan looked over at Angela and saw that she was looking at him with expectant eyes, so he knew that he had no choice at all.
In the end, he took a deep breath and used his fork to take a part of the food which he hesitantly placed in his mouth.
The moment the food touched his tongue and the taste spread, he knew he had made a mistake, but he couldn't spit it out. Eventually he forced himself to swallow.
Looking down at all the food that remained, Lin Fan had a single tear run down from the corner of his eyes before he went to face his maker.
After dinner, Lin Fan was confined to the toilet for the rest of the night...
