When Lin Fan left the inn the next morning, he only came out with Xiao Yue.
As for Yue Lan, she was still in bed after what had happened last night.
But that didn’t matter for her since she would have stayed in all day just to work on the cost matter and other plans for Lin Fan’s two products.
Just to be safe, Lin Fan had also left Fubuki and the two cubs with Yue Lan.
After just a few days, the cubs had already grown quite a bit and had reached the Pseudo Qi Gathering Realm.
With the way they were developing, it was very likely that they would soon surpass their parents.
Of course, that was all because of the Pet Storage Space.
The Pet Storage Space gathered spiritual energy and concentrated it, creating a perfect space for cultivating.
The cubs were still young and in their prime growth period, which was why they grew so fast.
But of course, all that was good for Lin Fan since the more powerful beasts he had, the better it was for him.
As for what Lin Fan was doing today, he was heading to the Mercenary Guild to pick up another mission.
After everything that had happened yesterday, his wallet was slowly running out of money.
He still had a bit over a thousand gold coins left, but with all the expenses that Yue Lan’s shop would need in the beginning and other expenses he needed to pay with his new house, that amount wouldn’t last long.
It was better for him to earn some money before that happened so that he would be in a safer position.
So he decided to start doing more missions at the Mercenary Guild.
Of course, that wasn’t his only motivation for picking up more missions. He also wanted to pick up more missions so that he could hunt more spirit beasts and get more beast cores.
Beast cores were needed to increase the cultivation of his pets and after what happened last time, as well as him purchasing the store and a house, he knew that his pets needed to be stronger to protect the people he cared about.
For that to happen, he needed more beast cores.
As well, while he was hunting these spirit beasts, he might also find some other spirit beasts to tame.
There were still many taming quotas that he could use, so it would be a waste if he didn’t tame a few more powerful spirit beasts as pets.
With all these different reasons, Lin Fan went to the Mercenary Guild.
When he came in, he found that it was Lala who was at the counter this time. However, she wasn’t alone like all the previous times that he had come.
There was a group of men who all clearly seemed to be from the same party who were pestering her.
It was clear by the look on her face that she didn’t want to deal with them anymore, but they didn’t get that clue. The only reason she was still listening to them was because they were also mercenaries registered with the Mercenary Guild, so it was her duty as a receptionist to listen to them.
Otherwise, she would have already walked away from these idiots.
Lin Fan revealed a smile when he saw this, but he also felt a bit of displeasure deep down.
Without knowing it, he had already started regarding Lala as his.
Xiao Yue could see what Lin Fan was thinking, so she took a step back and let Lin Fan do what he wanted to do. After all, she had already accepted that Lin Fan wanted a harem, so it wasn’t like she was going to stop him.
Plus Lin Fan had already brought Yue Lan back, so it didn’t hurt for him to bring someone else back, especially if it helped with the night matter.
Lin Fan walked up to the counter and then came up beside that group as he said, “Hey Lala, are you free right now?”
Lala’s eyes lit up when she saw Lin Fan, but the group of men in front of her glared daggers at him.
It was clear what Lin Fan was trying to do, but how could they let him do what he wanted to do that easily?
Before Lala could say anything, one of the men suddenly came up right beside Lin Fan and put his face up in his personal space as he said in a menacing voice, “Can’t you see that she’s busy right now? You should go somewhere else.”
Lin Fan just casually turned to that man with a smile and said, “Is she? It doesn’t seem like it to me.”
The other men started to surround Lin Fan when they heard this and the first one to speak said, “Well, you should clean your eyes and look again.”
Lin Fan’s smile turned a bit cold as he heard this and there was a chill that filled his eyes as he released his aura, “No, I think you’re done here.”
When Lin Fan released his aura, the group immediately crumbled under the pressure.
These people were only in the Pseudo Qi Gathering Realm, so when they were hit by the aura of Lin Fan who was in the Fourth Qi Gathering Realm, they couldn’t stand straight at all.
Lala didn’t say anything, but she was surprised by Lin Fan’s aura.
It was even stronger compared to before…
There was a complicated look that filled her eyes, but what filled her eyes was mainly admiration.
After all, he was doing all of this for her which touched her heart.
[Lala has been moved by your actions. Affection has increased by 10.]
Along with the ten increase from before, Lin Fan was already at twenty affection.
The group realized that they had kicked a steel plate, so they wisely chose to retreat.
Of course, that didn’t mean that they went with grace. Instead, they glared at Lin Fan as the man who spoke for them said, “We won’t forget this.”
After throwing out this cliche line, the group immediately headed out the Mercenary Guild.
Once they were gone, Lin Fan released his aura and turned back to Lala as he said, “I think your schedule just cleared up.”
Lala was caught off guard when Lin Fan said this, but she quickly revealed a smile that had a hint of bitterness in it. She had taken a quick look at Xiao Yue out of the corner of her eye and seeing how she was acting, she had a good idea of what happened.
This Lin Fan in front of her was completely different from the Lin Fan that had come in here over a week ago. Compared to the past Lin Fan that had a touch of nervousness to him, this Lin Fan was much more confident.
However, it wasn’t like she didn’t like this.
She liked the previous Lin Fan because of his potential and now that his potential was on display, she liked him even more. Not to mention that his kindness was the same as before, which was something that she had never seen in another man before.
Lala just asked with a smile, “How can I help you?”
Seeing this, Lin Fan just said, “I’ll go and get a mission first, can you just wait a bit?”
Lala gave a nod in response to this.
It didn’t take Lin Fan long to find a mission since there weren’t that many left after all the ones that he had cleared.
After all, this was only a small city and there weren’t that many people who could issue B Rank missions. Not to mention that most B Rank missions would take mercenaries several days to finish since most of them didn’t have a scout like he did.
Lin Fan brought the mission paper over after he finished picking it and had Lala register it for him.
After she was done, Lala suddenly asked, “So, when are you going to take me on that dinner date that you promised?”
Lin Fan was caught off guard by this, but after thinking about it, he remembered that he did promise Lala this dinner date.
It was just that he had been too busy with the matter of Yue Lan’s debt during this time that he had been doing missions the entire time, so he didn’t have any time to take her on that date.
However, now that Yue Lan’s matter was taken care of…
Lin Fan thought about it before saying, “How about tomorrow?”
This time, it was Lala’s turn to be surprised.
She couldn’t help looking at Xiao Yue and seeing that she didn’t react at all, she was a bit more surprised. After all, she had only been half teasing him with her question.
She had seen the change between Lin Fan and Xiao Yue, so she had already known that something must have happened between them.
But for Lin Fan to agree to a date with her still…
Still, it didn’t take her long to recover since this was a world where polygamy was accepted. Those that were strong had the right to have multiple wives and with Lin Fan’s potential, he definitely had the right to that.
It was still a bit too early since geniuses did die early still, but she was willing to take a risk with him because she could tell that Lin Fan was different from all the other guys.
After thinking about it for a bit, Lala said with a smile, “Alright, then come and pick me up tomorrow when I get off work.”
Lin Fan gave a nod and said with a smile, “It’s a promise.”
Soul dead now.
