Chapter 226 Return

Lin Fan naturally didn't head off alone, Ming Xin was also coming with him back to the dungeon town.

However, there was someone that he didn't expect that also came with him.

It was Tian Xue.

He had thought that after the incident, she would head back to Sunset City where she was the president of the Mercenary Guild branch, but she suddenly decided that she would come to the dungeon town with him.

Lin Fan was very confused why she suddenly decided to come with him, but since she had made her decision, he didn't question it.

So the three of them set off on this half a month long journey back to the dungeon town.

Well, it would have taken half a month if Lin Fan didn't call out Hi to pull the carriage.

With Hi's speed, the trip was cut in half and they were able to arrive in a little over a week.

This time Lin Fan was able to call out Hi because they didn't have as much cargo as last time since last time they were bringing the things that they needed for the new branch store. This time, it was just Lin Fan and the girls, so they were able to quickly make their way back to the dungeon town.

When they arrived, they found that no one was waiting for them.

Of course, that was normal since no one expected them to come back this soon.

If it was Hi from before, it would have taken at least ten days for them to reach the dungeon town. However, with Hi's breakthrough, its speed had also increased, which allowed it to reach the town in just over a week.

It was impossible for Lin Fan not to stand out with his carriage with Hi pulling it.

So when he arrived in the town, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone walking in the street.

Lin Fan was a famous person in the town, this was something that Yue Lan made sure of since she wanted her man to be the best of the best. So that also included Hi who was his pet.

The moment that the flaming horse carriage appeared, everyone gathered around and started pointing as they whispered to each other.

"Look, look, it's the mayor's horse carriage!"

"That spirit beast is so powerful! Can't you just feel the heat of its flames!"

There were many whispers that came from all around the carriage and Lin Fan couldn't help feeling awkward hearing them.

When he arrived at his manor in the center of the town, he found that the girls had all gathered there waiting for him.

Normally they would be busy with their own jobs, but hearing that he was back, they immediately handed them off to other people and rushed back.

Lin Fan came out of the carriage with a smile and hugged them one by one before introducing the people that came with him.

Well, there was no need to introduce Tian Xue since they were already familiar with her.

Tian Tian was the one that was the most familiar with her, so she immediately hugged her after she came out of the carriage before asking, "Big sister, what are you doing here?"

Tian Xue revealed an awkward look at first, but then she said, "I came here to see you and to take care of a little bit of business. Also, I have something I want to talk to you about later."

Tian Tian revealed a confused look when she heard this, but she still gave a nod in the end.

As for Ming Xin's introduction, she was quickly welcomed.

As a smart girl, she could easily see how to win over each one of Lin Fan's girls and soon she had easily integrated herself into their group.

It also helped that she was a very cute looking young girl that made each of the girls want to protect her.

The only one that didn't really get along with her was Duanmu Yi. The moment that Duanmu Yi saw Ming Xin, she felt like she had met her rival.

She was even more crushed when she heard Ming Xin introducing herself as Lin Fan's woman.

They were both the same age and had the same feelings, but why were they being treated differently?

Ming Xin could become Lin Fan's woman, so why couldn't she?

One particular place that caught Duanmu Yi's attention was Ming Xin's figure. After all, there was a big difference between them even though they were the same age.

Ming Xin had curves in all the right places, but Duanmu Yi…was still as flat as a board.

She looked at her mother's figure and looked back at herself, wondering when she would grow up to inherit that figure…

Once they had finished their introductions, Lin Fan brought them all in for a meal.

But of course, Duanmu Ming Yue hadn't been expecting Lin Fan, so she hadn't been able to prepare anything. So what they ate in the end were the special meal plans for the inn and they made plans to have a proper banquet at night.

Lin Fan didn't mind this since it had been a long time since he had the special meals from the inn.

They held a special place in his heart since they reminded him of Earth, they reminded him of his first home.

The rest of the day was spent not doing much other than catching up on what happened in the town and going into the dungeon to meet Rokuko.

Rokuko had been worried about Lin Fan since what happened last time, so she made sure to inspect his entire body before letting him off the hook. Though he wasn't completely let off the hook since she was still angry about him putting himself in danger like this.

So to appease her, Lin Fan gave her a few DPs to play around with.

Normally he would completely restrict the number of DPs that Rokuko had access to because he knew that if he didn't, she would go crazy and waste all their DP. But to appease her, he felt that this was a price that was worth it.

After all, she was very easily bought off…

Not to mention that since the dungeon town had come into formation, the town was now several times bigger and the population had increased by more than ten times. The DPs that they were currently earning each day was more than what they had earned in an entire week before.

Plus, the traps that they had designed were working quite well.

There were all kinds of different people that came to the dungeon, so there were also bad people that entered the dungeon. These people didn't follow the rules and attacked different people inside of the dungeon, as well as doing all kinds of things that would harm the dungeon.

Naturally Lin Fan and Rokuko as the masters of this dungeon wouldn't allow them to do things like this.

But killing them and just getting the DP from them wasn't that effective, so they designed special traps.

These traps were similar to solitary cells in prisons on Earth.

They were tiny boxes where these bad people were held and from time to time, food would be dropped in for them. They would be forever trapped in these tiny boxes, providing them DP daily.

These boxes were made of special materials that prevented anyone from escaping since it was too hard for them to cut through. So they could only sit there and wait for their deaths to come.

Naturally this kind of treatment made it easy for people's minds to break, so once that happened, Lin Fan allowed Rokuko to humanely put these people down for the DP.

Lin Fan might have felt bad about doing this, but he had seen the things that these people have done.

This kind of treatment was only left for the worst of the worst, the rest were all dealt with by the Mercenary Guild who helped Lin Fan with controlling the security of the dungeon town.

So he didn't feel as bad about trapping these people in these boxes.

After just a few days, the dungeon had already made up all the DPs that Lin Fan had used to exchange for the pill from before and even made more DP than that.

It just went to show how effective Lin Fan's plan was.

After appeasing Rokuko, Lin Fan went into dungeon planning mode.

He had some new ideas over the past few weeks, but since he had been away, he hadn't been able to apply them to the dungeon.

Now that he was back, naturally he wanted to set these ideas in motion before he forgot them.

After an afternoon of working on the dungeon, Lin Fan went back to the manor to find a delicious banquet waiting for him.

Duanmu Ming Yue had gone all out cooking this banquet to celebrate Lin Fan's return and he couldn't stop his chopsticks as he ate as much as he could.

The girls were happy seeing him enjoying himself so much that they kept feeding him different dishes.

If someone else was here, they definitely would have been filled with jealousy over how he was being treated by all these beautiful girls.

But if someone from Earth was here, they would have slightly different feelings.

They would still be jealous of Lin Fan of his harem of beautiful girls, but they would be thinking something else.

After all, the way Lin Fan was with his girls reminded them of something else.

It was like a villain…

It was like a villain with his harem the way that they were treating him…

The girls didn't eat much themselves and focused on feeding Lin Fan. Everything that they did, they did for him…

After the meal, it was time for dessert, but it wasn't the kind of dessert that could be eaten…

It was a different kind of dessert.

After being apart from each other for so long, the desires of the girls had built up and they were eager to welcome him back in a different way.

Lin Fan naturally picked up on this as well and he was happy to oblige.

But before he could, Tian Tian brought something up first.

Tian Tian nervously came forward with Tian Xue and said, "Can you accept my big sister as your woman as well?"

They had a serious talk that afternoon when Lin Fan was gone.

Tian Tian was of course surprised to hear Tian Xue's feelings, but she didn't blame her. She blamed Lin Fan for being too outstanding…Of course, she was also proud to have such an outstanding man.

She was also happy to see Tian Xue falling in love with Lin Fan.

She loved her big sister very much and being able to be with her forever as Lin Fan's women was naturally something that she was very happy about.

The only problem that the two of them had was the headache of how to explain this to their family…

Well, that was a problem for the future.

So after deciding this, they decided to present Tian Xue to Lin Fan and see how he felt.

After all, this decision was meaningless if Lin Fan didn't accept Tian Xue.

​ Lin Fan was shocked when he heard this, but he accepted this very quickly.

He had always felt a certain way about Tian Xue since he had first met her, but since he had Tian Tian, he had always kept those feelings deep down. Now that Tian Xue was confessing to him and Tian Tian showed her approval, there was no need for him to hold back.

So he picked her up and headed upstairs with the rest of his women.

The only ones that were left behind were Ming Xin, Duanmu Yi, and Duanmu Ming Yue.

Duanmu Ming Yue didn't mind as she tidied up after the banquet, but Ming Xin and Duanmu Yi both had sad looks on their faces.

Looking at each other, they revealed the same bitter smile.

Though Duanmu Yi quickly remembered her dislike of Ming Xin and headed back to her own room.
