Chapter 14: New customers

Lin Fan and Angela both turned to see Luo Qing and Wang Ning standing at the door and after being in a daze for a bit, Lin Fan quickly jumped off of Angela.

It had been a pure accident, they had been fighting over some of the snacks Lin Fan had at the register and he had fallen down on her.

But of course Luo Qing and Wang Ning didn't know that, the first thought when they saw the devious owner and the poor little worker was that she was being bullied!

Luo Qing immediately came forward and pushed Lin Fan away. Surprisingly, the system didn't act up this time.

Luo Qing quickly helped Angela up and patted the dirt of her, looking all over her to see if she was hurt.

Once she was done all of that, she shouted at Lin Fan, "Sir, to think that I used to respect you! But now you do something like this to such a poor, sweet, young girl!"

Lin Fan didn't know what to say, he could only stutter out, "But…I...She...We…"

Luo Qing immediately cut him off, "I don't want to hear any of your excuses!"

Right after that, she proceeded into a lecture while forcing Lin Fan to kneel down.

Angela didn't know what was going on, but surprisingly she wasn't against this feeling of being protected.

As the Spirit Overlord, Angela never had friends her own age and currently she was only eighteen year old, being just two years older than Luo Qing.

Being protected by a girl her age and being treated as a friend was something that created a bit of a warm feeling to fill her.

But after a while, she still came out and stood up for Lin Fan since it really was just an accident.

Luo Qing was still lecturing Lin Fan, but after hearing what Angela said and making sure that she wasn't being forced to say this, she just said, "Oh."

Lin Fan knew that he had to change the topic quickly, so he said, "So, what are you doing back here again?"

Luo Qing gave Lin Fan one last glare before saying, "I'm here to ask you something. Do you know the previous owners of this shop?"

Lin Fan was surprised by the question she asked, but he honestly replied, "The previous owners were my parents, what about them?"

Luo Qing seemed relieved to hear this, "Then have you ever heard of someone called Luo Wang?"

"Luo Wang?" Lin Fan looked confused.

Luo Qing explained, "Luo Wang is my dad and he's an old friend of the previous owners. He used to come here, but he lost touch with the previous owners after they closed this shop."

Lin Fan searched through the memories of the original owner of the body, but he couldn't remember the name Luo Wang. So in the end, he said, "I don't remember this name, but I can mention it to my parents. If you want, you can add me as a contact so I can tell you what I find."

Luo Qing readily agreed to this.

It was only at this time that Wang Ning decided to cut in.

Wang Ning had been on the side covering her lips while giggling to herself, watching everything happen between Luo Qing and Lin Fan.

This had been a perfect love buffet for her and she already had her ship ready, but now it seemed like there was a three way love triangle which made it even better!

But since it seemed like it was over, it was time for her to get down to business.

"Sir, did you train Qing Qing's Song Bird?"

Lin Fan only then realized that there was someone else in the store. He looked over at Wang Ning in surprise before saying, "Yes."

"Then can you also train my pets too?"

Only then did Lin Fan reveal his usual smile as he enthusiastically said, "Of course, I can. It's quite cheap to train a pet, it's only 100 crystals for an Iron Realm pet."

"Oh, it's only 100…..wait, 100 crystals!?" Wang Ning revealed a shocked look.

100 crystals, even professional trainers didn't charge this much.

There was a job in this world that specially dealt with training cultivation pets, they were called Monster Trainers.

To become a Monster Trainer, one had to have the ability to increase a pet in their realm by a single level or to make them learn a skill of a corresponding level.

For Iron Monster Trainers, they were considered the lowest of the low, so they didn't charge that much. For each Iron Realm training session, it would cost at most 10 crystals if they were well known and less than 1 crystal if they had no fame.

Of course, Lin Fan's store was part of the latter.

Wang Ning was from a rich family, so she knew about all the famous Iron Monster Trainers and she had never heard of Lin Fan's store before.

After looking around and not finding a Monster Trainer certificate, she knew that this store didn't even have a certified Monster Trainer, yet they were charging 100 crystals per training session.

But when she thought about the amazing display of the Song Bird, she made up her mind and decided to trust her friend.

Of course, that didn't mean that she wouldn't tease her friend and the store owner a little in revenge.

"Sir, can you give me a discount on account of me being Qing Qing's friend? Look at our ice queen Qing Qing, she even took the initiative to ask for your number and everything, you have to show some sincerity. Since I am her best friend, you should give me a discount…" Wang Ning said in a sly voice, but before she could finish, Luo Qing had already covered her mouth and dragged her to the side.

Hearing what Wang Ning said, Lin Fan couldn't help being a bit surprised.

To be honest, he had been a single dog his entire life back on earth, so he really never got to experience dating before.

Now that it was being thrown in his face so blatantly, he couldn't help feeling a bit shy.

As for Wang Ning, her fate wasn't good.

After being dragged to the side by Luo Qing, she had to suffer a lecture from Wang Ning while being forced to kneel down.

When they were finished, Luo Qing dragged Wang Ning back and said to Lin Fan, "Sir, she was just kidding. There was no special meaning behind my actions, I really was asking solely for my parents."

Since the other side had denied it so adamantly, Lin Fan didn't push it any further, but of course his actions were still a bit stiff.

Wang Ning knew that she couldn't push it any further, so she just summoned her two pets, a Stone Golem and a Zephyr Shark to leave to Lin Fan.

Of course she had no problem paying for the training since she was rich, but when she tried to sneak a peek at the back of the store, Lin Fan firmly shut the door in her face.

After they had finished their business, the two girls didn't stay any longer and headed off to enjoy their afternoon.

However, five minutes after they left, there was another girl that came in.

This girl seemed to be around the same age as them, but her personality was completely different.

The moment she came into the store, she arrogantly came up to Lin Fan and while looking down on him, she said, "Those two girls that were just in here, did they leave their pets for training?"

Lin Fan was surprised to see how far the girl tilted her head back to look down on him, but he honestly said, "Yes and no, one of the girls left their pet here and the other was here on some personal business."

This arrogant girl was called Wang Hua, the self proclaimed rival of Luo Qing.

She had been completely shocked by Luo Qing's display in class, so she had secretly tailed her ever since they left school in hopes of finding out her secret.

But in the end, the only clue she had received was this pet shop, which she was certain couldn't be the reason why Luo Qing's Song Bird had become so strong!

After sizing up the owner, Wang Hua just gave a cold snort before walking right back out the door, leaving behind a stunned Lin Fan.

All Lin Fan was thinking was, what kind of medicine did that girl take?
