Cultivation Pet Shop

331 Chapter 331

This was a new kind of energy that completely wrapped around Lin Fan.

Lin Fan had no idea where this energy had suddenly come from, but when it wrapped around him, it reduced the pressure that he felt from the sword of the heavens falling down on him. Lin Fan was finally able to look up again and see that there was a green glow that had wrapped around him.

The Qilin that was in the hilt of the sword was clearly surprised to see this green energy suddenly appear and it almost stopped for a second, but then it continued pushing down, planning on using even more force compared to before.

But before that could happen, there was a voice that suddenly rang out, "Qilin, old friend, stop already."

The Qilin had a look of surprise that suddenly appeared on its face that was completely made of lightning. It was so surprised that it actually stopped attacking and Lin Fan felt the pressure suddenly disappear from above him, but that didn't last long.

But still, the pressure came down once again, though it wasn't as powerful as before.

During this time, the Qilin also let out a roar, as if it was trying to say something.

After this roar, the voice sounded again, "Who do you think it would be if it wasn't me? I only left a fragment here, but it's still enough to match you. Still, there's no reason for us to fight since this boy is the one."

The Qilin gave a confused roar this time.

The voice said, "Yes, he's the one, can't you feel the system on him?"

The Qilin gave an intense look at Lin Fan before suddenly revealing an even bigger look of shock on its face.

The Qilin suddenly roared out several times in a row as if it was saying something important.

The voice didn't respond right away and after a period of silence, it said, "It's not the right time yet, but it will be soon. For now, he needs to develop and he can't do that if you're here trying to kill him, right?"

The Qilin gave an aggrieved roar before suddenly pulling back the sword of the heavens.

The Qilin took one more look at Lin Fan before giving a nod and what seemed to be an encouraging roar. Then it scattered the clouds that were around it, allowing it to surround Lin Fan, but these clouds didn't hurt him this time.

Rather they seemed to be offering their energy to him, as if they wanted to be absorbed by him.

Lin Fan had looked down to look at the clouds with a confused look, but when he looked back up, the Qilin made of lightning had already disappeared.

Seeing that there was nothing else for him, Lin Fan could only start to absorb the clouds and scattered fragments of lightning that were around him.

The energy contained in these fragments was nothing like the lightning he had been struck by before. Those bolts of lightning from before were simply appetizers compared to these fragments.

As he continued to absorb the fragments of lightning around him, he felt his cultivation and his lightning law surging. Both of them continued to grow stronger and stronger, as if he was suddenly soaring into the heavens.

Finally, Lin Fan made another breakthrough in his cultivation, reaching the peak Fragmented Soul Realm, almost coming close to reaching the Embryo Soul Realm. He might have been able to break through if it wasn't for the fact that he was on this lower realm which capped cultivation breakthroughs to the peak Fragmented Soul Realm.

Lin Fan looked down at himself and even though he looked battered from his tribulation, he felt amazing since he had broken through three times in such a short period of time.

But after getting over this, Lin Fan suddenly remembered something.

There was still that voice and that energy that had surrounded him. No, it wasn't "had" surrounded him, it was still currently surrounding him.

That green energy completely wrapped him up like a blanket and he could feel that it was slowly healing him.

Lin Fan looked around, but he couldn't see a single figure. He then tentatively asked, "Hello, are you there?"

There was a bit of silence for a second which made him feel like an idiot, but then the voice responded, "So you finally remembered that I was here?"

Lin Fan was surprised to hear this voice as he said, "Hel, hello, who's there?"

The voice didn't respond right away, but then it said, "It seems like you've finally reached the Soul Realm, but I can't really say that you did it quickly, you did it later than we expected." The voice paused before saying, "But still, you did reach it in the end."

Lin Fan looked around again and still seeing no one, he asked, "Where are you?"

The voice said, "Don't mind that, for now, let's see how you're doing." After another pause, the voice said, "It seems like you managed to fix your soul already, you really are quite something. We had planned something else, but now it seems like it's not necessary. It's really hard to tell what will happen with the system, but that's what makes it interesting."

Lin Fan immediately asked, "You know about the system?"

The voice didn't say anything this time.

Lin Fan then asked, "Did you make the system? If so, why did you make it and bring me here?"

The voice gave a sigh before saying, "Young man, it's still too early for you to learn about this. Why don't you think about the readers first? You're ruining it for them by trying to learn all this, you have to build up suspense first with stuff like this, don't you know that?"

Lin Fan didn't understand what this meant at all, so he asked, "What readers? What do you mean by all of that?"

The voice gave a giggle before saying, "Oops, that was a slip of the tongue, you weren't supposed to know about that. Forget it, forget it."

Lin Fan had dark lines that appeared above his head as he thought, how can you just tell me to forget it after saying all that?

There were still many things that Lin Fan wanted to ask, but before he could, the voice said, "Oh, it seems like time is up. Anyway, young man, there are still many things that you don't know yet, but keep working hard and you'll learn about them one day." After a pause, the voice lost its playful tone and it said, "We're all depending on you."

As soon as the voice fell, the green energy around Lin Fan had disappeared and the system's voice rang in his mind.

"Special Talisman has been used. There are still 2/3 uses left."

"Congratulations to the host on finishing the main quest and reaching the Soul Realm."

"The host has received the following rewards: Mysterious Pearl and Mysterious Egg."

"The next mission has been released."

But other than the first line, Lin Fan didn't care about the rest.

This Special Talisman, it had been something that he received when he had finished the branch shop quest. It hadn't told him what its use was, but now it had suddenly summoned a voice that seemed to know everything.

Lin Fan had been in deep thought about that voice since it had appeared because it was familiar, but only after it had left did he finally remember who it was. It was the voice of the girl he had met in the Mirror of Regret!

She seemed like she had known many things about the system and this voice had proven one thing, it was like she was the creator of the system.

If that was the case, why did she bring him to this realm and give him this system?

What purpose did he serve and what did she mean by they were counting on him?

Lin Fan was very annoyed by this because it seemed like he was being used as a piece in a large chess game and he didn't like being controlled like this, having his fate predetermined for him.

Lin Fan secretly made up his mind to find this girl again.

If she had been able to bring him to this world, perhaps she would be able to bring him back to earth…

This was the only clue that he had received since he had transmigrated to this world on the reason for this transmigration and he wasn't about to let it go that easily.

But before he could do a single thing, there was something that had suddenly hit him.

It wasn't an attack per say, but it was definitely that had damaged him.

There were two mounds that suddenly hit his head as a pair of arms wrapped around him, the big mounds really made the blood surge to his nose and a bit of it came out…

It was Angela who had suddenly thrown herself at him.

Lin Fan was shocked, but then seeing the look on her face, his heart turned soft as he put his arms around her as well, taking her in his embrace. She pushed her head into his chest and didn't say a word.

After a few minutes, she finally said, "If you do something like that again, I won't forgive you."

Lin Fan just revealed an awkward smile.

It wasn't like he had chosen to do this, it was just something that had happened. Moreover, why would he ever want to do something like that again?

But he didn't say anything and just gave a nod with a smile.
