Chapter 1230: You’re a bit dangerous now
Chapter 1230: You’re a bit dangerous now
“You’re different from before.”
That was the first thing that Haku said to Lin Fan the moment that he came into the room.
Lin Fan couldn’t help being caught off guard when he heard this, but he knew what she was referring to when she said this.
After all, he had just broken through to the Soul Building Realm.
Everyone back in Dungeon City had been shocked when they found that he had broken through, but the one that was affected the most was Mu Bao Bao.
When they had first met, Lin Fan wasn’t even close to reaching Mu Bao Bao’s cultivation level. But over time, he had grown stronger and stronger until he caught up to her cultivation level.
She was alright with this since she was his master and his lover, so she was even a bit proud that he had grown to this level.
But now that he had surpassed her, it actually hurt her pride as his master and his lover.
After all, it had been a while since Mu Bao Bao had broken through. Even though she had broken through to the Mid Golden Core Realm and was close to reaching the Late Golden Core Realm, it was still far from being enough.
In terms of the Mu Empire, she was certainly a genius.
But in terms of the entire cultivation continent, it would be hard to call her a genius.
She was just average compared to the disciples of the Five Great Sects and the sects related to the Five Great Sects.
If even Mu Bao Bao felt this way, then there was no doubt that the others felt the same and pushed themselves to reach Lin Fan’s level.
It was just that Lin Fan really couldn’t do anything for them.
The only reason that he had reached this level was because of Ye Qing Huan’s help, his special physique that the system repaired, and the support that the system gave him.
None of these things were things that he could actually share with them, so there really wasn’t anything that he could do for the girls.
In the end, Lin Fan just exchanged for a few more things that he put in the sect for them and did nothing else.
This was just how it was in this world.
Talent decides everything and without enough talent, they would be limited…
But as long as he became strong enough, he would be able to protect them.
So at the very least, he would make sure that they would be able to live a peaceful life while they tried to become stronger.
That was also why he came back to the magic continent.
He had heard from Rokuko that the Laver Empire was almost done with taking down the Kalos Empire, so it was time to come back and distribute the resources of the Kalos Empire.
That was also why he had come to see Haku since she would be the one deciding what he would receive.
It was just that the moment that he entered the room, this was the first thing that she said.
Lin Fan didn’t say anything as he waited to see what kind of reaction Haku would have to this.
After a long silence, Haku finally said, “You’ve reached the point where you can pose a bit of danger to me if you actually wanted to do something to me.”
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere in this room immediately became tense.
The others that were in this room were Haku’s subordinates and they were very loyal to her, so the moment that she talked about danger…it was only natural that they raised their guards.
All of them narrowed their eyes to look at Lin Fan as soon as she said this.
Since they were the trusted subordinates of Haku, they were naturally those that had been summoned for her dungeon. At the same time, they would be among those that were summoned first from her dungeon.
That meant that they had a long time to increase their strength and were among Haku’s strongest subordinates.
As the empress of the Laver Empire that was one of the top empires on the magic continent, it was only natural that her top subordinates would be among the top experts of the magic continent.
The weakest here was equivalent to someone in the Rebirth Realm.
The stronger ones were even equivalent to someone in the Transcendence Realm.
If Lin Fan hadn’t experienced something similar before, then it would have been hard for him to keep his back straight when this pressure fell on him.
This tense atmosphere was defused in the end by Rokuko who suddenly stepped forward to stand in front of Lin Fan with her arms raised as if she was protecting him. While standing there like that, she narrowed her eyes to look at Haku.
“Big Sister Haku, what do you think you’re doing?”
Haku immediately stopped what she had been doing to reveal an awkward smile before waving her hand at her subordinates for them to calm down and stop releasing their pressure as well.
Then once the tense atmosphere was gone, she said, “I was just surprised that he changed this much after disappearing for a bit.”
Though she said this, it didn’t seem like Rokuko was going to let her off that easily.
So in the end, the subordinates had to even look at Lin Fan as if they were asking him to say something. It was as if they hadn’t been threatening him with their pressure just now with how they acted.
But Lin Fan just said with a sigh, “Forget it, I’m sure that she didn’t mean anything by this.”
Rokuko turned around to look at Lin Fan and it seemed that she was angry, but she wasn’t actually angry at him. It was more that she was angry on his behalf since he was the one that was being mistreated.
In the end, Lin Fan calmed her down with a smile.
It wasn’t as if it was a good thing to throw a tantrum here, rather it was better to use this as a chance to get a bit more from Haku.
So he leaned in and whispered a few things in Rokuko’s ear.
Her expression changed when she heard this, but then she revealed a smile when she turned back to look at Haku.
Haku seemed happy to see that Rokuko’s expression changed, but the look in her eyes showed that she knew that she would be in for a bit of trouble. After all, she had seen the way that Lin Fan had whispered in Rokuko’s ear just now.
It was impossible for her not to guess what they had been talking about.
The problem was that she couldn’t even complain since she was the one that had made the mistake just now.
It was just that she had been completely caught off guard by how much Lin Fan had changed in just a few weeks. The kind of power that he gained definitely wasn’t something that could be obtained that easily.
Before this, Haku had never felt a trace of worry when facing Lin Fan since she knew that she was more than powerful enough to deal with him if something happened.
But in just a few weeks, he had evolved.
It was as if he had gone from an ant to a wasp.
It wasn’t much of an increase, but it was enough that he was able to sting her now.
So that was why Haku had been so surprised that she couldn’t help saying this.
With a cough, Haku changed the topic by saying, “So in terms of what you will be receiving from the Kalos Empire as one of the nobles of our Laver Empire…”
She went on to provide a full list of things that they were planning to offer Lin Fan.
She even added a few things on top of that for her mistake, but…
“I think that this is a bit insincere.” Rokuko said all of a sudden.
Everyone in the room revealed wry smiles when they heard this, but none of them said anything.
Even Haku couldn’t help revealing a wry smile when she heard this.
She had already been expecting this, but she didn’t think that Rokuko would say it with this kind of confidence.
“It has to be because of what he said to her earlier.” Haku secretly thought to herself, but she didn’t let this show on her face.
Instead, Haku just said, “This is actually more than what someone at his level of nobility should receive. I added a bit more to show my sincerity and to apologize for what happened earlier.”
“Not enough. You have to remember that it was all because of the things that Lin Fan did ahead of time that helped you prepare for this invasion. If it wasn’t for that, then would this have gone so smoothly?” Rokuko saId in a matter of fact voice.
If it was anyone else that was saying this, there was no doubt that Haku wouldn’t have taken it from them.
It was only because it was Rokuko who was saying this that Haku was even listening to her.
Still, it wasn’t as if Haku could concede that much since this was a matter that involved the Laver Empire’s national interest.
But even before that, she didn’t want to concede that much since she didn’t want to give Lin Fan that much.
It was just that when it came to Rokuko, Haku really found it hard to hold back.
