After they were done being surprised and came back to their senses, Lin Fan turned back to Yue Lan and asked, "Did you have dinner yet?"
Yue Lan thought about it before awkwardly saying, "I don't think that I even had lunch today."
Lin Fan shook his head before gently tapping her head, "I know that you're excited about running this store, but you shouldn't forget to take care of yourself."
Yue Lan was embarrassed by this, but she also felt a stream of warmth filling her heart. She stuck out her tongue in a naughty manner and said, "I won't forget in the future."
Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.
Cute.
That was the only thought that was in his mind at that moment.
He couldn't help it since Yue Lan really was cute with the way she stuck out her tongue like that. He really wanted to scoop her up and hold her in his arms, but since they were still outside, he didn't do that.
After all, he didn't know if he would be able to hold back if he did do that…
After that was settled, Yue Lan suddenly thought of something as she asked, "Oh, right, you went out today. Did you get anything good that we can sell in the store?"
Lin Fan gave a nod in response to this before saying, "Is there a place that I can take it out?"
Yue Lan nodded and waved for Lin Fan to follow her, "There's a storehouse that's connected to the store where you can put everything. Come with me."
She led him out the office and down a short hallway before reaching a large door. When she went through the door, she brought Lin Fan into a large warehouse that was quite empty.
She brought him over to a table at the side of the warehouse and asked, "Is this enough space for you to bring out what you have?"
Lin Fan looked at the table and gave a nod. Then he raised his right hand up and there was a portal that opened in front of his hand.
Yue Lan already knew about the Pet Storage Space, so there was no need for Lin Fan to pretend that he was pulling things out of a Storage Ring in front of her.
He brought out the materials from the crabs first for her to see.
Yue Lan moved in closer to take a good look at the materials that he had brought out and the first thing she did was pick out a few certain pieces.
She raised them up to the light to look over before asking, "Did something happen with this one? Did you have trouble taking it down or something?"
Lin Fan revealed an awkward look when he saw that the one that she had picked out was the one that he had dismantled.
"He, he." That was all he could say in response to this.
Yue Lan was a smart person, so she could naturally tell what had happened. She didn't make it hard for him as she put it down and asked, "Is there anything else that you have?"
Lin Fan gave a nod before raising his hand again to create another portal.
The other corpses and the herbs came out of the Pet Storage Space.
Lin Fan then said, "We didn't have time on the way back, so we couldn't dismantle these ones. I can get them done tomorrow if you want."
Yue Lan looked at Lin Fan with a confused look, "Why would you need to do that? It's easier if you just bring them in as corpses, that way we can get them dismantled properly."
Lin Fan revealed an awkward look and said, "Well, if we do it at the Mercenary Guild, they'll want to buy it. They've been good to me, so…"
He left his words hanging, but the meaning behind them were clear.
Yue Lan revealed an even more confused look as she asked, "Why would you need to do it at the Mercenary Guild?"
Lin Fan revealed a stunned look as he said, "Huh? Doesn't only the Mercenary Guild have professional dismantling service?"
Yue Lan revealed a smile as she figured out the misconception that Lin Fan had.
Lin Fan was confused, but then he understood as Yue Lan explained it to him.
"There's no need to go to the Mercenary Guild, there's plenty of other places that offer professional dismantling service and they usually charge much less. The Mercenary Guild is overpriced because of the name behind it, so it's actually cheaper to go anywhere else." Yue Lan explained with a smile.
Lin Fan's mouth dropped open as he realized his mistake.
He hadn't checked anywhere else and assumed that the Mercenary Guild was the only place, so that was why he thought that he had to learn dismantling. But it turned out that wasn't the case and he had just been thinking too much.
If only he had asked Yue Lan about this, it would have saved him quite a bit of trouble.
But now he was so embarrassed that he wanted to dive in a hole…
Yue Lan saw the slight blush that appeared on his face and she could only think of one word.
Cute.
She had never seen a man like this before and it made her heart flutter.
Before Lin Fan could even react, she came forward and placed a kiss on his cheek. Then as she moved away, she said with a smile, "Well, that's for your hard work."
She quickly turned around as the blush on her cheek appeared.
Lin Fan just stood there in a daze, but he soon revealed a smile as he could see the blush that reached the tip of Yue Lan's ears.
He took her from behind and held her in his embrace.
The two of them stood there in silence for a bit and Lin Fan was about to make the next move, but before he could, there was a gurgling sound that came from in front of him.
Lin Fan looked down at Yue Lan whose face had turned even more red compared to when she had kissed him.
He awkwardly revealed a smile and let her go before reaching a hand out to her in an inviting manner. He bowed slightly as he said in a gentlemanly fashion, "Should we go have some dinner?"
Yue Lan saw the way he was standing and her heart skipped a beat. However, she still reached her hand out to take his hand as she said with a smile, "Alright."
The two of them walked out of the store just like that.
Lin Fan had let Fubuki and the cubs back into the Pet Storage Space, so it was just the two of them walking alone in the streets.
As they walked along the streets, there were people that couldn't help taking a closer look at Yue Lan, especially with the way those twin peaks swayed with each step. However, as soon as they took a look, they immediately felt a chill run down their spines.
They looked for the source of this chill and when they saw Lin Fan glaring at them with his cold gaze, they immediately looked away and headed along.
Of course, there were also some that received a slap from either their girlfriends or wives.
It seemed like quite a few people would be sleeping in the dog house tonight.
The two of them picked up Xiao Yue and found a nearby place to get some dinner.
After they were done, they returned to rest up for the night.
Of course, they didn't get much sleep right away because they were kept busy by Lin Fan with his "nightly" activities.
…
The next morning, Lin Fan headed off to the Merchants Guild.
Lin Fan had his date with Lala tonight, but in his life, he never went on anything like a date before.
So before he went on this date, he would have to prepare himself.
He knew a bit about what he had to do from the various stories that he had read on Earth, which was why he was heading to the Merchants Guild.
Unlike Earth where everyone could just find out what the best restaurants were by checking on their phone, this cultivation world did things more manually.
The Merchants Guild held a monthly ranking board which tallied up votes that people gave various restaurants. The restaurants that received the most votes would be considered the best restaurant in the city.
Then after that, there was a list of restaurants that performed slightly worse because of less votes.
This ranking was kept at the Merchants Guild, so Lin Fan was going there to see which restaurant he should take Lala to tonight.
At the same time, by paying a small fee, he could also get information on the restaurants from the person who managed the counter for this service so he would be fully prepared for the date.
Just that alone took up the entire morning for him.
When he was done, he didn't even have time to get lunch as there were still many other things for him to do.
He went to the salon to get his hair cut and then he rushed back to the inn to get washed up.
He had even taken the time to buy a scent pouch, which was the closest thing to cologne in this ancient world to freshen up with.
Only after he had finished everything did he go to the Mercenary Guild.
At which time, it was already sunset.
