Chapter 573 - Three Way Meeting (1)

This was only a small matter for Lin Fan since he knew that the bigger matter was what would happen after the store closed.

However, Lin Fan couldn't help feeling worried about how risky it was for this girl from the Ice Goddess Palace to visit his shop.

While it ended with her being thrown out which made it seem like there wasn't a good relationship between them, people would still be suspicious as to why she would come to his store in the first place.

But there was nothing he could do about that, he could only hope that people would not look too deeply into this matter because they would believe the story on the surface.

Time passed quickly since there were still no other customers in the store.

While people understood that the items in Lin Fan's store were high grade items, they still didn't want to shop in Lin Fan's store yet while he still had a feud with the City Lord.

As for the bigger factions, they had only sent people to watch over Lin Fan's store since they were more focused on the Ancient Era Ruins right now.

When the time came, there was a beast carriage that arrived in front of Lin Fan's store.

To make it look more believable, Qiao Yi Fei and Mao Tao were the ones who came to pick it up since it was well known that they spent quite a lot of time with Lin Fan lately.

However, when Qiao Yi Fei entered the store, the first thing she did was go over to Momonga to make a fuss.

It had been a long time since she had seen him, so naturally she was excited when she finally got to see him.

Momonga had been on the side playing chess with Brainy as usual, but the one problem now was that Brainy had broken through which had allowed her to turn into human form.

The moment Qiao Yi Fei found Momonga playing chess with Brainy and seeing that Brainy was a beautiful woman who didn't lose to her, she couldn't help glaring at Brainy.

Brainy didn't understand what this was at first, but then she realized that this was the feeling of jealousy that she had read about in her book last night. Ever since she had finished breaking through and since she had felt that different feeling towards Lin Fan, she had been reading many relationship books.

She still didn't understand what the feeling she felt towards Lin Fan was, but she could tell how Qiao Yi Fei felt about Momonga, especially when she made it very obvious.

When Qiao Yi Fei saw the two of them sitting there playing their game of chess, she immediately went over without even caring about Lin Fan, coming right up beside Momonga.

After glaring at Brainy, she mustered up the courage to move in close to Momonga and said with what she considered a bright smile, "Mister Diabolis, it's been a long time."

If it was anyone else, they would have been dazzled by this because she truly was beautiful, but Momonga was different from everyone else. As the Lich King who had lived for millions of years, there wasn't a lack of beauties that he had seen before. For him, Qiao Yi Fei was just a pretty little girl, nothing more, nothing less.

Momonga just gave a nod to her before turning his attention back to the game.

Lin Fan saw this and he couldn't help finding it funny, but he didn't say anything since he was also suffering from his own problems. Namely Mao Tao.

When she saw Qiao Yi Fei mustering her courage to approach Momonga, she felt that she should do the same with Lin Fan, which was why she also came over to him and said, "Mister Lin, long time no see."

As she said this, she did lean in closer to make her figure look better, but it was just too bad that she didn't have a figure to show off…

Lin Fan just revealed an awkward smile before thinking, "It hasn't been that long, you were just here this morning…"

But Lin Fan didn't say this out loud because he knew what kind of trouble it would cause.

Instead he just gave a nod before turning to Momonga to ask, "Do you want to come along?"

Momonga didn't look up from the game as he said, "No, you can go take care of your things, I'll stay here."

Lin Fan gave a nod before saying to Brainy, "Are you staying here as well?"

Brainy looked up at Lin Fan and then after tilting her head to think, she gave a nod as well.

Lin Fan didn't bother to answer and turned to Qiao Yi Fei to say, "Let's go."

Qiao Yi Fei was still glaring at Brainy, but since it was her job to bring Lin Fan back to the Hunters Organization, she had no choice but to leave.

But before she did, she asked Momonga, "Mister Diabolis, will you still be here tomorrow?"

Momonga didn't look up from his game, but he still gave a nod.

Qiao Yi Fei's face was filled with joy which was quickly replaced with an unwilling look as she left with Lin Fan and Mao Tao.

Finally, when they were out of the store, Qiao Yi Fei turned to Lin Fan and asked, "Who was that in there with mister Diabolis?"

Lin Fan didn't bother answering as he turned to Mao Tao and asked, "How long will it take for us to get there?"

Mao Tao also ignored Qiao Yi Fei as she walked over to the beast carriage and said, "It won't take long, it's just a short trip."

Lin Fan nodded before getting in the beast carriage with her.

During this entire time, Qiao Yi Fei had been bugging Lin Fan with questions about Brainy which he ignored.

Even during the carriage ride, she still kept asking Lin Fan about Brainy until he finally gave up and told her that she was his pet.

Qiao Yi Fei was surprised, but she also revealed a relaxed look.

After all, in human society, there was an established notion that humans wouldn't be with pets. There were a few cases of this in history, but the likelihood of this was very low, which was why she wasn't worried at all.

It was too bad that her ideas were wrong since she was under the wrong impression that Momonga was human.

At his level of cultivation, it wasn't a problem for him to hide himself as a human in this lower realm which was why no one had been able to recognize him. As far as they knew, he was nothing more than a normal human.

But he wasn't that at all, he was the Lich King from the Lich's Necropolis.

What Qiao Yi Fei didn't know was that this crush of hers was doomed from the very beginning.

It didn't take long for the beast carriage to arrive at its destination, but the destination that it arrived at was completely different from what Lin Fan expected. The destination that this beast carriage arrived at was a tiny bar that was hidden inside of an alley in an obscure part of Harmony City.

With the way the alley looked, it was clear that this wasn't a good part of town. This was the place where low lifes went to do shady things…

Was the meeting between the three factions being held here?

While it was a place that would provide a certain amount of privacy, it definitely didn't fit that they had as three of the twelve great factions.

Not to mention that this definitely wasn't a place that beautiful girls like Qiao Yi Fei and Mao Tao should be going to. Lin Fan didn't doubt that as soon as they stepped out, there would be people trying to cause trouble with them.

So Lin Fan couldn't help asking, "Are you sure that this is the right place?"

Both Qiao Yi Fei and Mao Tao looked at each other before revealing smiles.

Qiao Yi Fei looked at Lin Fan with a teasing look and asked, "What, are you afraid of this place?"

Mao Tao on the other hand just gave a nod with a faint smile and said, "Yes, this is the place."

Lin Fan could see that they were relaxed, which showed that they were serious, but all that did was make him feel even more doubt.

Still, since the two of them were certain, Lin Fan followed them out into the street.

As soon as they came out of the beast carriage, what Lin Fan feared would happen had happened right away.

Beauties like Mao Tao and Qiao Yi Fei made it hard to not be the center of attention, especially when they made no effort to hide themselves.

As soon as they came out, they became the center of attention and the thugs that were hanging around on the street all turned to look at them. As expected, they all had looks that had a bit of greed in them, making it clear what they were thinking.

Before anyone else could make a move, there was a group of thugs that came from in front of the bar. They were heading right in the direction of Mao Tao and Qiao Yi Fei and it was clear from their expression what they wanted to do.

Lin Fan saw this and without hesitation, he came in front of the two girls, standing between them and the thugs.

In the end, he was still a man and this kind of situation was when he should stand out.
