Cultivation Pet Shop

After this barrier of water had formed around the boat, the little girl turned back to Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen with a smile as she said, "Now we can finally have a private talk."

Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen were both looking at the barrier of water that had formed around them before turning back to the little girl.

They could tell that this barrier was at the level of the Child Soul Realm and unless Lin Fan charged at it with his full power, it wouldn\'t break that easily. However, if he were to do that while they were on this boat, it would definitely destroy the boat as well.

While this could be considered a barrier that blocked off outside interference, it could also be considered a barrier that trapped them inside. If this little girl wanted to do something to them, they definitely would be in for a hard time.

Of course, since Lin Fan had the spatial laws, he could still escape from this place as he wished, but he definitely wouldn\'t be able to bring Mo Ze Chen along. For him this would be considered a worst case scenario since he had already accepted Mo Ze Chen as a subordinate.

Lin Fan was greedy that way, at the very least he didn\'t want to lose the things that he owned.

Seeing how tense Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen looked after the barrier came up, the little girl revealed a faint smile and said, "Why are two grown men like you so afraid of a little girl like me?"

Hearing this teasing, Mo Ze Chen felt a bit awkward, but Lin Fan knew better. After all, the story about the little girl and the whale should have been long before the formation of the society that lived in the city that they were in. This society was something that even predated the Galactic Humanity Alliance, so it was safe to say that it was quite old.

For the little girl and the whale to last all this time, it was clear that they were quite ancient and she shouldn\'t be referring to herself as a little girl at all.

Lin Fan could understand how the whale had lived this long since it was a special beast that had reached at least the Child Soul Realm since that was how powerful this barrier around them was.

For a beast at that level of cultivation, it was easy for it to live up to a hundred thousand years.

That was the difference between beasts and humans, most beasts had a much longer lifespan than humans and they naturally gained their power from their bloodlines instead of cultivating.

While this meant that beasts could cultivate without doing anything, it also meant that bloodlines were the most important things for them. Unlike humans who all had the chance to become experts with their cultivation techniques.

So while beasts had experts that lived longer and were stronger than normal cultivators because of bloodlines, humans could produce more experts with their cultivation techniques.

The little girl could see that Lin Fan wasn\'t amused by this joke, so she put away the smile that was on her face and had a serious look as she said, "At least this way, they won\'t be able to hear what we say. I want a private conversation."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes the moment he heard this.

As he had suspected, there was something that was planning everything from behind the scene. At least that made it more reasonable since that explained a lot of what Lin Fan had seen.

But even with this information, he wasn\'t sure who it was since there were many different clashing clues that he had received.

At the same time though, that wasn\'t important because this girl had revealed something with her words, which was that she knew who this person was.

As long as she was willing to talk, Lin Fan would be able to learn much more about these ruins.

After thinking for a bit, Lin Fan asked, "Who is behind all of this?"

He didn\'t delay because he knew that if what she said was true, they wouldn\'t have much time left. After all, he knew that whoever was controlling this realm didn\'t like people sneaking around their back and revealing things that should be kept hidden. This was clear by how they had immediately destroyed Faust the moment he had tried to warn Lin Fan.

As soon as the little girl heard this question, she gave a sigh and shook her head before saying, "That is the one thing that I can\'t answer since there\'s a restriction on me for that information. I can answer almost everything else about this, I just can\'t tell you who\'s behind all of this and what their goal is."

Lin Fan knitted his brows, but he also didn\'t dwell on this since he knew that there wouldn\'t be much time left.

So Lin Fan asked, "What do you want to talk to me about then?"

The little girl didn\'t answer right away as she seriously looked at Lin Fan for a bit before saying, "You\'re from over there as well, aren\'t you?"

Lin Fan was shocked the moment he heard this.

It wasn\'t because of the words she had said, but rather the language that she had said it in. The little girl had just spoken fluent Chinese, which was something that Lin Fan hadn\'t heard in a long time.

Earlier when Faust spoke in Chinese, it was more broken, like it was being said by a foreigner. But now, the Chinese that the little girl had said was completely fluent, it was almost like she was from earth.

Lin Fan paused as he didn\'t know how to respond to this, but when the little girl had asked this question, she had also noted the reaction that Lin Fan had to this, so she already got her answer.

After pausing for a bit as well, the little girl asked again, "Are you the same as him?"

Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this, but this time he said, "I don\'t know who he is, but I\'m certain that I\'m not like him."

The little girl looked into Lin Fan\'s eyes and after a moment of silence, she suddenly revealed a smile and said, "I believe you."

For her, this was already enough because she could see in Lin Fan\'s eyes that he was being serious.

But of course, Lin Fan couldn\'t just leave it at this since there were still many questions in his heart. The biggest one was naturally, "How do you know how to speak this language?"

The little girl had the same smile as she asked back, "Is it that strange for me to know this language?"

Lin Fan knitted his brows as he said, "Do you really need me to answer this?"

The little girl gave a giggle before saying, "I know what you\'re thinking, but it\'s not what you\'re thinking."

Lin Fan knitted his brows even deeper when he heard this as he asked, "Then what is it?"

The little girl gave a sigh before saying, "This will take a long time to explain, but we don\'t have that time right now. The only thing I can tell you is that the gods themselves are involved in this matter and it isn\'t something that can be talked about easily."

Lin Fan knitted his brows so much that he was almost scrunching his face as he asked, "Can\'t or won\'t?"

The little girl just smiled without saying a thing.

Lin Fan stared at her for a bit, but he knew in his heart that he wasn\'t going to get the answer that he wanted.

After another bit of silence, the girl changed the topic by saying, "Now, let\'s talk about why you\'re here. You want Xiao Jing\'s heart, don\'t you?"

Lin Fan felt a chill run down his back even though this little girl had said this with a smile on his face. He knew from the beginning that to get what he needed there would be a fight in the end. After all, it wasn\'t like the whale would offer its heart to him, would it?

But the little girl asked in a confused voice, "Why are you getting all hostile? I was just asking a simple question."

Lin Fan was also confused when he heard this, after all, it didn\'t seem like it was a threat. But that was strange since Lin Fan wanted the heart of the whale that was this little girl\'s friend.

Without a heart, how could the whale still survive?

Lin Fan tentatively asked, "What if I said that I did?"

The little girl nodded before saying, "Well, that\'s the reason why you\'re here, so I would say that it\'s strange if you don\'t want it."

Lin Fan was even more confused as he asked, "Then you\'ll give it to us?"

The little girl nodded and said, "Why wouldn\'t we give it to you?"

Lin Fan just didn\'t know what to say in response to this since he couldn\'t understand why this little girl would say such cruel things about her friend.

But in the end, the little girl realized that there was a miscommunication here and gave a giggle before saying, "You thought that I would kill Xiao Jing to give you his heart?"

Lin Fan was confused as he asked, "Then how are you planning on giving me his heart without taking it out?"

The little girl revealed a mysterious smile when she heard this.
