Cultivation Pet Shop

After that awkward meeting with Luo Qing at the front door, they were led to the back where a private party with Lin Fan's family and friends were being held.

Of course, they all came in together since they were both coming to the same party, it would have been strange to come separately after meeting at the front door. But that didn't make it any less awkward.

When they arrived at the party, Luo Wang went off with his wife to go find Lin Fan's parents while the kids were left standing there awkwardly.

Finally the ice was broken by Song Shu who looked at Luo Qing with sparkling eyes as she said, "Big sister, you're so pretty."

Luo Qing turned to look at Song Shu and she was instantly slain by her cuteness. Song Shu had porcelain white skin and big eyes, making her look like a little doll. During this past month, she had also been slowly growing out her hair since she no longer needed to dress as a boy in the street, so she looked much more feminine.

She instantly picked Song Shu up and hugged her, patting her on the head as she said, "You're quite cute yourself, where did you come from?"

Song Shu didn't fight the hug and just accepted it as she said, "I came with master to meet his family."

Luo Qing slightly knit her brows as she asked, "Master?" Then she turned to Lin Fan and said, "I never knew that you had such tastes…"

Lin Fan's face turned dark. He had slowly gotten used to other people saying it, but it was clear that there was a hidden meaning in Luo Qing's words, especially after she had once confessed to him.

Lin Fan quickly said, "It's not what you think, I'm teaching her alchemy, so she's my apprentice and I'm her master."

Luo Qing just said, "Oh" which made Lin Fan's face turn even darker, but he knew that he would just make it worse if he kept explaining. Still he was happy that this had happened since it broke the awkwardness between him and Luo Qing.

More and more of their friends came in and Lin Fan caught up with all the friends he hadn't seen in a while.

Of course, there were some that teased him when they arrived such as Wang Ning. She still didn't give up on her plan of bringing Luo Qing and Lin Fan together, so she had her fun with Lin Fan after arriving, even if it didn't work.

As for Wang Da Dong, he was the same as ever, but he did feel a bit depressed being the only one here without a girlfriend after seeing Boss Gao and Mei Rou together.

Then finally it was time for the main star of today to arrive. Lin Xue came in with her friends from school who were completely starstruck when they saw Lin Fan. But her appearance was like that of a fairy descending to earth.

She had this ice blue dress that had crystals hanging off it that looked like icicles, making her look like a fairy of snow when she walked in.

Of course, the first thing that she noted when she arrived was Song Shu. It seemed like her big brother was collecting more and more girls without her knowledge and this one seemed quite cute.

But she couldn't help wondering, is that what kind of girls her big brother liked? Was that why he had rejected Luo Qing?

Lin Xue ignored Lin Fan and went to sit with her friends who kept pestering her to introduce them to her big brother since Lin Fan was now a celebrity in Snow Wind City. However, why would she introduce more competition for herself?

Her big brother belonged to her, even if he was a bit confused by other girls right now…

After the party was in full swing, Lin Fan's mother finished her chat with the adults and came over to where Lin Fan was sitting with his friends.

When she saw Song Shu, her eyes immediately lit up as she said, "Xiao Fan, did you finally bring home a granddaughter for your mother?"

Lin Fan immediately spat out the juice that he had been drinking and he broke out in a series of coughs.

Lin Fan turned back to his mother and said, "Mom, you know how old I am, how could I have a kid this big already?"

Yue Qingrou tilted her head to think and she knew that he was right. It seemed like she had been a bit too excited, but she still said, "You know that I'm still waiting for my first grandchild, when are you going to get to it?"

Lin Fan immediately avoided the topic by saying, "Mom, this is Song Shu, she's my apprentice."

Song Shu lowered her head and said, "Hello Mother Lin, it's an honour to meet you."

Yue Qingrou looked at Song Shu with a knowing smile since she could easily see through her thoughts.

Yue Qingrou turned to Lin Fan with a smile and said, "Apprentice, are you sure that she's just an apprentice? Mom doesn't mind, but I do want to be a grandmother soon."

Lin Fan's face turned completely dark as he thought: Why did everyone think that way about him? He had normal tastes when it came to girls, alright?

Lin Fan just ignored his mother, but she didn't let him off that easily, "Xiao Fan, how is it going between you and Angela? Is there a chance that I'll be able to see my grandchild's face by this time next year?"

He continued ignoring her, but she didn't give up, "Xiao Qing has been waiting for you for so long, don't you have anything to say to her? Also, doesn't Xiao Xue look good in her dress? Why don't you compliment her?"

This really was one encouraging mother, she was pushing every girl on him…

But the last comment was a bit strange, why did she also include Lin Xue in this?

Still Lin Fan decided to take the comment at face value as he stood up and went over to Lin Xue.

Her friends were all excited when they saw Lin Fan come over, but they still gave him space since they knew that he was only coming over to talk to his little sister.

Lin Xue coldly looked at him and waited for him to say what he had to say.

Lin Fan took out a little wrapped box and handed it to Lin Xue as he said, "Happy birthday, you really look nice today."

Lin Xue just calmly took the box, but not before sending a mental message to her pet to stop the recording. She would definitely have fun with the recording later…

When Lin Xue opened the box, she found a finely made necklace with a tear shaped blue gem hanging off it.

Lin Fan scratched his head and awkwardly said, "I didn't know what you liked, so I just found this while I was walking around."

But of course that was also a lie.

He had gone to the best jewelry store in Green Wood City and had bought the most expensive necklace that he could find. The clerk at the store told him that this was an Ice Tear Gem that adorned the necklace and it had a special ability to create a water barrier that would block a single attack up to the Gold Realm.

While Lin Fan wasn't the Lin Fan that had grown up on this Blue Star Planet, the memories of the original owner of the body had completely combined with his memories.

He wasn't the Lin Fan from earth nor was he the Lin Fan from the Blue Star Planet. He was just now Lin Fan.

This family was the family that had given birth to him and had raised him, so naturally he felt love and care for them. This was the little sister he had cared for when they were younger, the one that he had vowed to protect from the first moment he saw her and held her little hands.

Lin Xue looked at it and after a while, she said, "Would you help me put it on?"

Lin Fan was happy to do so. Once he put it on her, he also added, "You look beautiful with it on."

Lin Xue didn't react at all, having the same calm look on her face, but she said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Lin Xue went into the bathroom and once the door was closed, her expression completely twisted into an abnormal smile.

She held the blue gem in her hand and sniffed it for a while before placing it on her tongue, suckling on it with a look of pure ecstasy on her face.

This was a gift from her precious big brother, there was nothing else that would make her happier in this world. But in her mind, it also confirmed to her that her big brother felt the same way about her, even though that wasn't true.

She thought of the other girls that had clung to her big brother like flies and revealed a twisted look of hatred, but then she calmed down.

She wasn't strong enough yet and her big brother still hadn't thought it through.

There was still time before she was strong enough to break all taboos and her big brother's eyes would eventually open.

All of this was just a matter of time.

She could wait.
