Cultivation Pet Shop

Lin Fan ignored the guards and followed this little girl who started floating into the castle.

He had met this little girl before as well, but every time, the only thing that he had been met with was a cold glare. She made it very clear that she didn't like him, but Lin Fan didn't blame her either since he had seen how close she was with Angela.

If one were to compare the two of them, Lin Fan really was the one who was lacking…

However, none of that mattered right now since Angela was in danger.

As they quickly moved through the halls of the castle, Lin Fan suddenly asked, "How is her condition?"

When the little girl in the green dress heard this, she visibly trembled, but she didn't stop as she still quickly moved through the halls.

After a pause, instead of answering the question, she asked, "Where were you the entire time?"

This time, it was Lin Fan's turn to tremble. He opened his mouth to say something, but there was nothing he could say.

He had all the resources needed to come and see her during this entire time, but he hadn't done so. It was partly because he trusted her, but it was also partly because he understood himself.

He knew that even if he were to come, he wouldn't have been able to do a thing for her or might have even been a burden to her. If he were to try to meddle in things that were above his realm, he would have been killed and that was something that Angela wouldn't want to see, even if she knew that he could revive afterwards. Without a doubt, if Lin Fan had come, Angela would have most likely been more hurt or have gotten injured faster because she would have been too busy protecting him.

Still, Lin Fan blamed himself for being too passive.

He had accepted this fact because he had accepted his weakness, but if he had tried hard enough, perhaps there would have been something that he could have done for her. He had the system and the system's store, there should have been something in the store that could have changed the situation.

Perhaps even if he was a bother, he should have come here to comfort her…

The little girl in the green dress didn't say anything else after this since she knew that she had been too harsh on him.

She knew that what Lin Fan did was most likely the best choice for the situation, but she couldn't help feeling sorry for her big sister Angela.

Her big sister Angela had given so much to this human, so she wouldn't feel right if she didn't speak up for her at all.

After walking in silence for a bit, they finally came to a door that was the full length of the wall to the floor and was over four meters wide.

Lin Fan was about to go forward to open the door, but the little girl in the green dress suddenly raised her hand to stop him.

After giving him a glare, she went over to knock on the door before saying, "Young miss, young master Lin is here."

Even though she addressed him in a formal manner, it was clear from her tone that she didn't truly respect him.

There was a sound that suddenly came from inside the room and when the little girl in the green dress heard this, she immediately ran into the room. However, even after going into the room, she made sure to close the door behind her which kept Lin Fan out.

Lin Fan just awkwardly stood there, but he could hear the voices that came from inside.

"Young miss, you have to lie down. Don't force yourself to sit up just for someone like him."

Even hearing this, Lin Fan didn't go in because he had his respect as a man. If he were to barge into a woman's room like this, even if she was injured, he wouldn't be much of a man.

After a minute or two, the little girl in the green dress finally came out and said, "The young miss will see you now." However, it was clear by her voice just how much she didn't want Lin Fan there.

Lin Fan didn't mind this as he gave a nod to the little girl in the green dress and walked in.

The moment he came in, the first thing his eyes turned to was Angela in the large bed in the center of the room.

The moment he saw her face, it was as if his heart had broken in half.

Her skin had always been white, but now it was pale with a dark tone to it, clearly showing that she was seriously injured.

Lin Fan came over to her bedside and took her hand. He just stood there for a minute in silence before saying, "I'm sorry."

Angela looked at him and tried to smile, but the moment she did, she winced in pain.

Lin Fan quickly leaned over to see if he could help her, but she raised her hand to wave him away before relaxing in bed and saying, "I'm fine."

Lin Fan knitted his brows and asked, "How can you say then when you're like this?"

Angela didn't say anything, but it was clear what she was thinking from the expression in her eyes.

Lin Fan took a deep breath and asked, "Who did this to you?"

Angela took a deep look at Lin Fan and said, "I won't tell you. Even if you told me that you wouldn't try to take revenge for this, I wouldn't believe you."

Lin Fan asked, "What about in the future then?"

Angela gave a sigh and said, "Maybe in the future, but right now, you can't do anything to them. These are people that are much stronger than you think, there's no way you'll be able to do anything to them."

Lin Fan knitted his brows, but he knew that there was no way for him to refute this.

From the very first moment that he had met her, he knew that he and Angela were from two different worlds. But he still wanted to jump over that gap one day and stand by her side.

Angela saw the look on Lin Fan's face, so she didn't say anything. Instead she turned to the little girl in the green dress and said, "Lu'er, make us some tea."

Lu'er looked at Angela with a look that showed that she was clearly unwilling to leave, but she still gave a bow in the end and left to make the tea, leaving just Lin Fan and Angela in the room.

After a while, Lin Fan asked, "What do you need to recover?"

Angela looked at him and shook her head, "It's fine, you don't need to do anything. I have plenty of subjects and they will be able to find what I need."

Lin Fan knitted his brows and said in a stronger voice, "What do you need to recover?"

Angela took a deep look at him before giving a sigh and saying, "You won't be able to get it, so there's no point in telling you."

Lin Fan then said in a slow voice, "Is it the True Ice Grass?"

This time it was Angela's turn to be surprised when she heard Lin Fan's words. She knitted her brows, but doing so made her wince in pain. After wincing in pain, she asked, "Did your master tell you this?"

Lin Fan didn't say anything in response to this.

After all, in a sense, it was his "master" who told him.

Instead, Lin Fan changed the topic by asking, "Where can I find it?"

Angela revealed a serious look and said, "Lin Fan, this isn't a place for you to play around in."

Lin Fan said once again, "Where can I find it?" But it was clear from his tone that he wasn't asking this time.

Angela looked at his serious look and there was a trace of warmth that appeared in her heart, but what filled most of her heart was still worry for Lin Fan. She knew that Lin Fan was someone who cared deeply for the people closest to him and he would do anything for them, which was why she was worried. It pained her to see him being hurt…

After a while of staring at each other, Angela finally said, "It's in the Profound Ice Forest to the north, but that forest is a dangerous place. It's ruled by a spirit that while recognizing me as the ruler of this realm, only listens to my orders in emergencies. In most cases, she just does whatever she wants in the forest. However, that doesn't mean that she's weak, she can be considered the second strongest in this entire realm after me."

Lin Fan asked, "She wants to see you die so she can take over."

After a pause, Angela gave a nod in response.

Lin Fan always knew that Angela had her own troubles in her realm, but he never knew the details because she was never willing to share them with him.

Lin Fan had known that this was to protect him, but it still bugged him deep down.

Now it was different, now it was a matter of her life.

Lin Fan nodded and then patted her head as he said, "I'll get the True Ice Grass for you."

Angela had a worried look as she said, "But…"

That was all she got to say before Lin Fan cut her off by saying, "Trust me, I'm your man."

When she heard this, there was a blush that came over Angela's face.
