A week later, Lin Fan arrived back at Dungeon City.
He would have been able to return sooner, but he took his time coming back because he wanted to take some time to test some things.
Lin Fan knew that his body had changed because of the connection to the Pet Storage Space, so he took this time to properly test out some things before he came back.
Namely, he tested the special interaction that he had felt when he absorbed the Divine Blood Fruit.
The Pet Storage Space had interfered when he absorbed the Divine Blood Fruit and had somehow concentrated the power of the Divine Blood Fruit. He didn’t know what it was about the Pet Storage Space that did this, but he wanted to know if it was just the Divine Blood Fruit or if it would work with other elixirs as well.
It turned out that it did work with other elixirs, but that depended on the power contained within those elixirs.
It seemed that there had to be a certain level of power contained within the elixirs for the connection to the Pet Storage Space to activate. If the elixir wasn’t strong enough, the connection to the Pet Storage Space would act like it was dead.
But if the elixirs were strong enough, the Pet Storage Space would stop them from having an effect on his body. Then it would gather all of the energy of that elixir in front of it and release life energy to strengthen it before releasing it into his body.
Any elixir that he took would be strengthened by the power of the Pet Storage Space and it would have a much more potent effect on him.
Perhaps this was one of the benefits that the system had mentioned previously.
As for the others…Lin Fan had no idea right now since it remained idle most of the time.
Still, just that alone made it worth it for him to upgrade the Pet Storage Space.
After all, the enhanced effects of all these elixirs really were greater than before and it made him much stronger.
He had even recovered all the way back to the High Qi Condensing Realm, so it was as if the drop never happened.
Though it did take quite a few elixirs to make this happen.
Most of these were the ones that Ye Qing Huan had bought for him, so it could be said that he was a kept man.
When he arrived back in Dungeon City, the first thing that happened was that he was captured.
With the power that Lin Fan had, it was hard for people to capture him, but this was a group that could capture him without a single problem. It was probably the only group that could capture him so easily.
It was his group of women who had captured him.
As soon as he appeared in Dungeon City, he was immediately surrounded by them as if they had known that he would appear here. Then without any hesitation or decorum, they dragged him off to the secret room to question him on what had happened.
With a bitter smile on his face, Lin Fan had no choice but to explain everything that happened.
Though he did omit a few parts regarding Ye Qing Huan that he didn’t think that they needed to know. Such as how she had treated him like a kept man and bought all kinds of things for him.
As well as the copious amounts of dual cultivation sessions that they had…
That was something that he shouldn’t say even if he was beaten to death.
When it was over, all of them looked at him with surprised and confused looks.
Yue Lan was the one that broke the silence as she asked, “She just gave you the Divine Blood Fruit?”
Lin Fan revealed another bitter look as he said, “It’s more like she forced me to take it.”
This was the truth since she had even technically forced it into his mouth and forced him to swallow it. Lin Fan really didn’t have a choice in this matter.
They looked at him with even more strange looks before Yue Lan asked, “Do you think that trouble will be coming soon?”
Lin Fan just shook his head before saying with a sigh, “I don’t know.”
He really didn’t know what would be the consequences of these actions since he couldn’t even guess what the Heavenly Demon Sect would do. While Ye Qing Huan had said that she would be able to fool them, he didn’t think that it would be that easy since they were one of the Five Great Sects.
He was certain that as long as they wanted, it would be easy for them to figure out what happened.
So when the time came, it would be hard for him to deny this.
As for the consequences of lying to one of the Five Great Sects…
“Just what does she want?” Yue Lan suddenly asked?
Once more, a bitter smile appeared on Lin Fan’s face as he shook his head to show that he didn’t know.
No matter how he tried to see through Ye Qing Huan, he hadn’t been able to figure out a single thing. That was just how much she confused him….
In the end, since they couldn’t figure out a single thing, there was nothing that they could do about this.
They could only accept that this was how things were and move on.
But it wasn’t that easy to move on either.
As soon as they came out of the secret room, there were many people that came looking for them. It was a large group that suddenly knocked on the door of the City Lord Manor that the secret room was hidden in.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Mu Bao Bao had given the decree that no one could barge in, they might have even started searching the City Lord Manor.
Mu Bao Bao had a displeased look on her face when she saw them knocking on the door like this, so she asked in a displeased voice, “What are you all doing?”
The ministers that were there had awkward looks, so it was someone else that spoke.
“There’s an envoy from the Heavenly Demon Sect coming to this city. They will be arriving soon.”
The one that spoke was the elder that had been sent from the Heavenly Demon Sect to protect the Mu Empire. As such, he spent most of his time in Dungeon City where Mu Bao Bao lived.
All of us were shocked to hear this and we weren’t able to react to his words right away. But after he gave a nod seeing our questioning gazes, there was no way that he would be lying about this.
Only…why would the Heavenly Demon Sect suddenly send an envoy to this place?
Could it be that they had already figured out that Lin Fan had taken the Divine Blood Fruit?
But what if they did figure this out?
It wasn’t as if they would be able to do anything to the Heavenly Demon Sect even if they did figure it out. The only thing that they could do was wait and see what happened.
Lin Fan couldn’t help asking the elder from the Heavenly Demon Sect, “Do you know who is coming?”
The elder was a bit surprised and confused to hear this question since he didn’t think that it mattered, but he still answered with a shake of his head, “I don’t know. They only said that they would be sending an envoy over.”
Lin Fan couldn’t help knitting his brows when he heard this, but he didn’t keep asking.
He knew that it was already very tolerant of the elder to answer this question in the first place, so he shouldn’t be too greedy. He should be glad that the elder had even answered this question.
Only he still couldn’t help feeling worried about what was going to come next.
Since there was an unknown person from the Heavenly Demon Sect coming, for them to come at this time…
“The envoy is here!” There was a guard that suddenly ran in.
This guard had been assigned by the ministers and the elder to come here and inform them the moment that the envoy from the Heavenly Demon Sect arrived.
It was just that none of them had expected the envoy from the Heavenly Demon Sect to arrive so soon.
Still, it wasn’t as if they could delay this matter or keep the envoy from the Heavenly Demon Sect waiting. So everyone immediately gathered up and headed to the inn where the envoy from the Heavenly Demon Sect had been led to.
They had all been expecting to meet the envoy from the Heavenly Demon Sect in the meeting hall of the inn, but that wasn’t what happened.
Rather, they were led by the staff of the inn to a private dining room.
This was one of the few private dining rooms of the inn that Lin Fan had set up, which was used by only very special or rich guests.
They didn’t expect the envoy to come here right away.
When the door opened, they were even more surprised to hear…
“Mmm, this taste is pretty good. I want a few more of these set meals.”
The envoy was even eating without a single care in the world.
However, both Lin Fan and the elder from the Heavenly Demon Sect knitted their brows when they heard this voice.
That was because they recognized this voice.
