Cultivation Pet Shop

Xiao Hei had done many terrible things, such as helping Huang Xiao Hou steal the soul of this entire village, the things that he had done to Faust and his wife, and all the other things that he did.

But in the end, was the pet responsible for the evil actions of its master?

Xiao Hei was taught to act this way and was ordered to do all those things because of Huang Xiao Hou, so could he take responsibility for everything.

In a sense, the pets that the people of this universe raised were similar to children and they depended on their masters to teach them right from wrong. It was clear that in Xiao Hei\'s case, he had been taught all the wrong things.

This was a very delicate issue with many different factors.

Would a child be punished for the crimes of their parents?

Most people would say no in a situation like this because the child and the parent are two different people. Not to mention that the child\'s mind hadn\'t developed properly, not having their own sense of morals yet because that was something that they slowly learned from their parents.

However, what if the child was the one who committed the acts of evil because their parents ordered them to do so?

Would one say that the child was wrong for choosing to follow the orders of their parents, or would one say that the child wasn\'t to blame because they didn\'t know any better?

There were many intricate details that would change this kind of judgement in the end.

However, now wasn\'t the time to worry about this since both the child and the master were dead.

The only thing that Lin Fan needed to do was not judge and hope that Xiao Hei would meet someone better in his next life.

While Lin Fan did close Xiao Hei\'s eyes, that didn\'t mean that he wouldn\'t take his body since this was the corpse of a Nascent Soul Realm beast. This was a corpse that had a value that was hard to estimate since it was something that was rarely put on the market.

Lin Fan would make sure to put this corpse of Xiao Hei to good use to honour his memories.

After putting away Xiao Hei\'s corpse, Lin Fan turned his attention to the bead that was on the ground.

This was the bead that Lin Fan had asked Xiao Hei to get and he had gotten it in the end.

During their showdown, Xiao Hei had been holding it in his human hands, but the moment that he had turned back into his beast form and lost his human hands, this bead had slid out of his beast paw and landed on the ground.

This bead looked quite fragile and seemed like it would have cracked with just a single tap, but it withstood the drop from Xiao Hei\'s beast paw to the floor and didn\'t have a single scratch on it.

Lin Fan picked it up and looked it over. No matter how he looked at it, it looked no different from a normal marble bead. However, when he looked more closely, he could see there was something that was inside of the bead.

As he looked closer, he found that there seemed to be some kind of liquid that was right in the center of the bead that seemed to be churning. When he looked at it though, he could feel an intense power that came from it.

This kind of power clearly wasn\'t just the power of a single person, but rather the power that came from thousands of people put together.

This wasn\'t without a doubt the bead that contained all of the souls of the people of this village that Huang Xiao Hou had stolen. The only problem that Lin Fan had now was how to release all of these souls.

Mo Ze Chen could tell that this bead that Lin Fan was holding was something special, he even had a feeling that this bead would be answer to the one desire that he had from this realm, so he asked, "Boss, what do we do with this thing?"

Lin Fan had been lost in his thoughts while looking at this bead, but when he heard Mo Ze Chen speak, he was pulled out of those thoughts. He turned to look at Mo Ze Chen who had an expectant look on his face and then he said with a serious look, "I don\'t know."

Mo Ze Chen who had been waiting for his answer didn\'t know how to react at first, but then his expression collapsed as he said with a stunned look, "Eh?"

Mo Ze Chen really didn\'t know what to say in this situation because when he had been following Lin Fan before, no matter what situation they encountered, Lin Fan seemed to have the solution. However, now that they were at the end of their journey, right before he could get what he wanted, Lin Fan finally didn\'t know what to do.

After taking a moment to calm himself, Mo Ze Chen then asked, "Boss, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by you don\'t know?"

Lin Fan gave a shrug and said, "It means what it means, what else could it mean? I really don\'t know how to handle this thing because I\'ve never dealt with it before."

Mo Ze Chen didn\'t know what to say as he couldn\'t help saying the same thing once again, "Eh?"

Lin Fan didn\'t have anything else to say because this was his first time encountering something like this and it was too far out of his normal range to understand what it was. Even when he tried asking Brainy about it, Brainy didn\'t know anything about it either.

Even if Brainy had spent a lot of time with the crystallization of wisdom that was Momonga, it didn\'t mean that it knew everything. After all, Brainy had just been a pet with a single mutation when Lin Fan had first encountered it on the Blue Star Planet.

Even if it was a double mutated beast now, that didn\'t mean that it knew everything since most of its experience was limited to the Blue Star Planet and this upper realm.

Mo Ze Chen couldn\'t help becoming impatient because this was the final thing that was standing between him and a happy new springtime, but now he couldn\'t find a way to solve it. Not to mention that time was slowly ticking down.

That entire inheritance ceremony and the labyrinth itself had taken most of their time and they were only left with less than half an hour.

When Mo Ze Chen was about to lose it, there was a voice that suddenly spoke up, a voice that no one had expected.

"How about you just break it, wouldn\'t that work?"

Mo Ze Chen and Lin Fan were both surprised when they heard this voice and they turned to look in the direction of that voice which came from Wang Jian.

Mo Ze Chen was the first to react as he said, "You\'ve seen this thing before at your Myriad Sword Hall?"

Wang Jian turned to Mo Ze Chen and said while shaking his head, "No, but it seems like something that you would break, doesn\'t it? If you break it, it would release whatever is inside just like the bead that you just threw, right?"

Mo Ze Chen had a vein pop out on his forehead when he heard this.

He couldn\'t believe what this person was saying.

He had thought that there would be some kind of logic behind his suggestion, but now it seemed like he wasn\'t thinking at all…

While Mo Ze Chen was a bit simple, that didn\'t mean that he was a fool. He just wasn\'t smart in the traditional way and was smart in a more instinctive way.

That was also the reason why he couldn\'t get along with simple muscle heads like this who didn\'t think about a thing before they acted.

While it might seem like this would be a simple fix for someone who didn\'t think, what if this wasn\'t the case? What if actually destroying the bead destroyed all of the souls that were contained within it?

What if this was a special item that needed a special way of using it to release all of the souls that were contained within?

To simply smash it would be negligent and it was very likely to end in disaster.

So Mo Ze Chen couldn\'t stop the anger in his heart from swelling as he roared, "Are you stupid? Do you really think that it would be that simple? Just destroying it would release all the souls trapped inside? Can you please stop and think…"

But before Mo Ze Chen could finish berating Wang Jian, he suddenly heard a smashing sound from behind him.

When he turned around in a daze to look at what that smashing sound was, he was completely shocked by what he had seen.

There was Lin Fan with a throwing stance with his hand aimed at the ground. On the ground by his feet, there were tiny shards of glass that looked like there was something made of glass that had just been shattered to pieces.

Mo Ze Chen asked in a daze, "Boss, what did you just do?"

Lin Fan looked right at Mo Ze Chen and said, "I smashed it."

Mo Ze Chen couldn\'t believe that these words came out of Lin Fan\'s mouth since Lin Fan had always seemed like a smart person to him, even if he was a bit impulsive…
