The next few days also went the same way.
In the morning, Lin Fan took care of the business that he needed to take care of so he could leave the city for some time.
In the evenings, he would spend his time with the girls who would miss him when he was gone. He would give them plenty of love so that they wouldn’t miss him too much when he was gone.
He spent several days just like this.
But in the end, he had to leave to go settle his grudges. Or rather, settle the grudges of the original owner of this body.
However, before leaving, he would make sure to leave clear instructions for everyone.
Lin Fan had an idea of what he wanted, so he left clear instructions so that these things could be done when he came back.
Even though he had no idea how long it would take him to come back.
In the end, all of them came to see him off even if it meant that things would be delayed.
For them, he was more important than anything.
Seeing them all gathered there, Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling touched, but he didn’t let himself remain that way for long. Otherwise, he knew that it would be hard for him to separate himself from them.
So he just gave each of them a kiss before turning to leave.
For the first time, it really was hard for him to leave since he had come to the realization that this was his home. Not just a temporary home, but an actual home now that he was involved in building the city.
He would do all that he could to protect this city.
After leaving the city, he walked a distance away before stopping in the forest near the road.
He made sure that he was deep enough in the forest that there wouldn’t be people around him.
Only then did he call out something that he hadn’t called out in a long time.
Lin Fan had been moving with other people during this time, so he couldn’t call this thing out.
It was Igneel, the variant Blaze Salamander that he had tamed.
When it was called out, the first thing that it revealed was a disappointed look.
It was almost as if it was disappointed to see that it had been called out like this.
After all, instead of being allowed to just laze around in the Pet Storage Space that had an abundance of spiritual energy it could absorb. As well, there was plenty of food for it to eat, especially spiritual herbs since it was just growing all over the place in the Pet Storage Space.
It really was a wonderland in the Pet Storage Space for a spirit beast.
So it didn’t want to come out at all.
But it knew that it couldn’t act this way in front of Lin Fan or else…Lin Fan might not want it anymore.
Whatever Lin Fan wanted, that was what it would give him since Lin Fan was his master.
But before anything else, Lin Fan was the owner of the Pet Storage Space and the one that could control whether it could go in or not.
So it had to do whatever Lin Fan wanted if it wanted to get back in the Pet Storage Space.
Lin Fan had seen the disappointed look on Igneel’s face, as well as the way that it quickly changed expressions to cuddle up against him.
He just shook his head with a bitter smile, but he didn’t hold it against Igneel.
He just patted it on the head before jumping on its back and saying, “Head in that direction.”
Igneel didn’t hesitate to fly off in the direction that Lin Fan pointed out.
But when it did, Lin Fan couldn’t help being surprised.
That was because Igneel was much faster than before.
Lin Fan opened up the status screen and he was surprised to see that Igneel had already broken through to the Foundation Realm.
Last time he checked, Igneel was only in the middle of the Qi Gathering Realm.
Now all of a sudden, Igneel was already in the Foundation Realm.
While he knew that there was a large amount of spiritual energy inside of the Pet Storage Space, he never thought that it would be able to cultivate this quickly.
At the same time, he couldn’t help looking at the status screens of the other pets and he was surprised to find that all of them had reached the Foundation Realm.
Hayase had even come close to reaching level 100, which he had assumed was his max level.
Lin Fan couldn’t help being curious about how Hayase would change after he reached level 100…
But it still wasn’t time yet.
For now, he would keep his eyes on their levels and their level of cultivation since he would be able to fight with his pets once more.
He had been forced to hide his pets during this time, but there was no need now since everything had been settled.
If someone questioned him, he would just say that he was a beast tamer which was the equivalent to his power in this cultivation world.
With the increased speed that Igneel had, it took Lin Fan even less time than he thought to reach the Peach Province that the Lin Family was based in.
Though if it wasn’t for the fact that his cultivation had also increased, then he would have been thrown off Igneel during that flight.
With faster speeds, there were also stronger winds generated that could easily throw Igneel’s passengers off.
It seemed that in the future, Igneel would no longer be a suitable ride for those with weak or no cultivation.
After all, it wasn’t just the winds generated that prevented those with weaker or no cultivation from riding. There was also the heat that naturally came from Igneel’s body.
It was strong enough to burn a Qi Gathering Realm Cultivator to ashes.
That was just how strong Igneel became after reaching the Foundation Realm.
But this increased speed would make it much easier for him to travel in the future.
It took him half the time that he thought it would take to arrive in the Peach Province.
When he arrived at the Peach Province, he had Igneel stop in the middle of the forest at the edge of the province. He wasn’t planning on flying right into the province, he wanted to go through the official checkpoint and observe everything.
After all, his official orders from Mu Bao Bao were to find out what the Lin Family was up to.
If he were to charge in flying on Igneel, there was no doubt that it would alert the Lin Family and every other family in the Peach Province. When the time came, he wouldn’t be able to find a single piece of information.
So his first goal was to sneak into the Peach Province and find the governor.
The governor of the province worked for the empire and since he was here on official orders from Mu Bao Bao, the empress, he was more than qualified to use the resources of the governor.
Though before that, he would also check to make sure that the governor wasn’t connected to the Lin Family.
This would have been easy for him before, but now it was even easier.
He had two different spirit beasts that could control people, it would be easy to find anything that the governor was hiding this way.
When he arrived at the border, it was a very matter for him to pass through the border.
He still had his Mercenary License, so it was easy for him to use that as an excuse for visiting the Peach Province.
He was a high ranking mercenary, so he was someone that was welcome anywhere.
But he wasn’t high enough rank that he would elicit a reaction from the governor, so it was the perfect cover.
Once he was in the Peach Province, the first place that he headed to was Heavenly Tree City.
That was the capital of this Peach Province, where the governor was based.
The Lin Family was based in a different city in the Peach Province, but for now, he wanted to make contact with the governor first.
With his speed, it took him no time to reach Heavenly Tree City.
When he walked in the city, he couldn’t help marveling at the state of the city.
“This is a real city.”
Unlike Dungeon City which had only received the classification as a city because of the schemes of the princes, Heavenly Tree City was a place that had been built up over the years and deserved to be called a city.
This place was at least three times as big as Dungeon City and had five times as many people.
It was a place that was worthy of being called the capital of a province.
But at the same time, this made blending into the crowd much easier.
When there were this many people, it was easy for there to be slack since there was just too much to do.
With how many people entered the city each day, it was impossible for them to check each and every one of them.
So they just did a simple identification check and then let everyone in the city.
Lin Fan didn’t even need to show his mercenary license to enter the city.
Once he was in the city, he immediately blended into the crowd.
But there were two things in his sleeves that started to get to work.
