Cultivation Pet Shop

However, when Mo Ze Chen met up with Lin Fan and the rest, he didn't die as he had expected.

Instead, Angela just completely ignored him as she had him summon Xiao Bai which she carried in her arms.

As they headed home, they went to a cake shop as Lin Fan promised and when they came out, Lin Fan had a very dark look on his face. That was because as soon as they came out, the staff followed them to the door and put up the closed sign.

After all, with no more products left to sell for the day, there was no need for them to stay open anymore.

Even the smiles that they sent Lin Fan's group off were so bright that it could have melted steel.

But that was to be expected when Lin Fan had just bought all the products that had been left in the store.

This didn't happen with just a single store, but it happened with three different stores…

Lin Fan couldn't help looking at Angela and Yuki's figures, wondering where they stored it all. However, as he stared for a bit, he couldn't help getting lost in Angela's figure.

However, Yuki could feel the way that he was looking at her. When she turned back to look at him with a glare, Lin Fan raised his hand in a helpless manner and revealed a bitter smile. Still, he turned away from looking at them in the end.

As they continued on their way home, when they finally came to a less crowded area, Lin Fan, Angela, and Yuki suddenly knitted their brows.

Mo Ze Chen and Lulu were still lost in their own world, but seeing that Lin Fan, Angela, and Yuki had slowed down, they realized that something was off. However, when they released their spiritual sense, they couldn't find anything at all.

Still, neither of them said a word since they trusted the spiritual sense of the three.

Their group continued forward as if nothing had happened, but Lin Fan was secretly talking to Brainy in his mind.

Lin Fan had made it a habit of having Brainy scout out his surroundings, so as soon as these strange figures had appeared around them, Brainy had immediately reported it to him.

Angela and Yuki had also sensed it, so they signalled to Lin Fan with their eyes, but he signalled back, telling them not to worry and to leave it to him. Yuki had a trace of doubt in her eyes in response to this, but she still chose to believe after Angela patted her hand.

There was still a trace of doubt in Yuki's eyes, but she calmed down after this.

It wasn't that she believed in Lin Fan, but rather she believed in Angela.

She believed that Angela's eyes wouldn't be wrong.

Lin Fan was waiting for these dark figures to make a move, but they didn't do anything in the end.

Seeing this, Lin Fan knew that they must have some kind of plan or instructions on how to take care of them. So before they were in the right position, these figures tailing them wouldn't make a move.

It would be easy for Lin Fan to take care of them now, but he also didn't want to draw any attention, so he chose to play along with their plan.

He led their group on the path back to the pet shop, but instead of taking the normal path or the quickest path, he took a path that led to a rather deserted alley.

As he had expected, once they reached a place that was rather quiet, the figures following behind them started making their move.

They didn't reveal themselves right away, instead they took up positions that completely surrounded Lin Fan's group, not revealing a single gap. Then after that, they started closing in on Lin Fan's group, restricting their movement as much as possible.

Only when they had made sure that everything was in place, these figures finally jumped off the roof to land around Lin Fan's group.

With how coordinated they were, it was clear that they were professionals and they weren't here to play.

No one from Lin Fan's group was surprised to see this, but they still acted surprised.

Lin Fan knitted his brows as he looked at the person who was clearly the leader of this group and asked, "What do you want with us?"

The leader looked at Lin Fan before turning his gaze to Mo Ze Chen and saying, "Give him to us and you can leave. You have my word that you will not be harmed if you leave him here."

Before anyone could say anything, Lulu moved in front of Mo Ze Chen and said, "I won't let you take him."

Mo Ze Chen knitted his brows, but then he put Lulu behind him as he glared at the leader while waiting for Lin Fan to make his move.

Lin Fan looked right at the leader and after a moment, he said in a nervous voice, "How can I trust you?"

There was a trace of disdain that appeared in the eyes of the leader when he saw this. This was something that he had seen countless times in his line of work.

No matter how tough a person looked on the outside, they always cared about their own lives the most. Just like this person that was asking him if he could trust him, he didn't hesitate to betray his allies just to escape with his own life.

The leader wasn't in a mood to play with this person since he knew that there was no chance that they would be able to escape.

All of the people in Lin Fan's group were all only in the Embryo Soul Realm and he was leading a team of over twenty Child Soul Realm Experts, this would be a simple matter for him.

So the leader snapped his finger and there was a hole that was created in the line of his followers. He looked back at Lin Fan and said, "This is your only chance. Leave now if you want, or you can stay here and die."

Lin Fan took one last look at Mo Ze Chen before waving at Angela and Yuki to follow him.

The three of them walked towards the holes in the line, clearly having abandoned Mo Ze Chen to his fate.

However, when they were about to cross the line, the leader suddenly gave a signal with his hand behind his back.

When the two people beside him saw this, they immediately pulled out their daggers to stab at the back of Lin Fan's head.

Under his mask, the leader of the attackers revealed a faint smile.

This was a trick that he used many times. He made his targets let their guards down by pretending to let them go and then killing them at the very last second.

This not only allowed him to accomplish his goal, it also gave him a bit of personal joy taking out these people he looked down on. These people that only cared about their own life were the kind of people that he hated the most, so killing them like this was something that he quite enjoyed.

He liked seeing the look on their faces when they realized that they had been lied to and that they were dead.

It was just perfect in his eyes.

However, before the daggers could stab Lin Fan, his hands suddenly came out to grab the hands holding the daggers.

The two assassins immediately knitted their brows as they realized that they couldn't move their daggers forward a single inch.

Then before they could react, there was a blue glow that appeared around Lin Fan's hand. After the appearance of this blue glow, they felt a cold feeling coming from the hand grabbing their own.

Then in an instant, there was a layer of ice that suddenly surrounded their arms, completely freezing it. The chill from the ice was so strong that they couldn't even feel them anymore.

They immediately tried to pull their arms back, but seeing that their arms wouldn't listen to them, they made a snap decision to cut off their arms. They could see that the ice was still spreading and if they didn't act fast enough, it would be too late.

It was just too bad that the ice had already slowed them down enough that they weren't able to cut off their own arms in time.

By the time that their other hand came up with another dagger to cut the hand that was frozen, the ice had already spread to their shoulder. Then before they could cut it, the ice immediately froze their other arm.

Before the dagger could touch their arm, they had been turned into ice statues.

After freezing the two of them, Lin Fan released their hands and turned around, but all that he met was a dagger stabbing out at his face.

The leader of the attackers hadn't been idle during this time. When he saw Lin Fan making his move, he had immediately pulled out his weapon and summoned his pet to join with his weapon before stabbing at Lin Fan.

However, Lin Fan didn't panic since he had already expected this.

There was a vine that suddenly came out of his sleeve that pulled him out of the path of the dagger. At the same time, Lin Fan's hand came up to grab the wrist of the hand holding the dagger while it was covered in the same blue glow.

Before the leader of the attackers could react, he was already covered in ice.
