It took Lin Fan only a single day to arrive at the military camp which was quite a distance away.
The Stellar Kingdoms were kingdoms that didn't rule over a single star system, but rather multiple star systems. Their influence spread across multiple planets that were very far away, so to keep that influence, they would naturally need a way to travel between those planets.
Cultivators that broke through the Soul Realm were able to travel between planets, but that wasn't reliable since it would take a lot of life energy to do so.
So to facilitate travel between planets, they invented spaceships that could travel at the speed of light. After all, most Stellar Kingdoms actually had territory that spread across several galaxies.
Lin Fan couldn't help being amazed on his first trip in this spaceship.
This was a world of sci-fi fantasy that hadn't been realized back on earth, so he was very excited to take this trip.
But when they traveled at the speed of light, it was far too fast for him to see anything. All he could see was space warping around him as they flew through the emptiness of space, there weren't any stars or stellar bodies for him to see like he had expected.
When they arrived at the camp, there wasn't anyone there to greet them.
Lin Fan was just led by the assistant that the Mu Stellar King had assigned him to the location of his new store.
This assistant that the Mu Stellar King had sent, Lin Fan knew that this person wasn't as simple as she seemed.
Lin Fan wasn't able to see through her cultivation, so he knew that she was much stronger than him.
So he also knew that this assistant shouldn't be just an assistant, but rather a bodyguard that he had placed on him to ensure his safety.
Knowing this, Lin Fan couldn't help feeling touched.
After all, the Mu Stellar King was doing this much to ensure his safety, so he must care for him to a certain extent.
The assistant's name was simply Ying, or at least that was what she told him.
She was actually the head of the Mu Stellar King's private guards and she had been following him since he had been the second prince. She was one of his closest confidants and one of the people that he trusted in the most.
She also trusted him implicitly and was filled with admiration towards him.
So even though she was confused why she had been assigned to protect this seemingly common looking man, she still followed his orders and went along with Lin Fan.
Though it would be a lie to say that she wasn't a bit unwilling to do so.
She admired the Mu Stellar King and even had aspirations of one day catching his attention, so to be pulled away from him during this time…It was certainly not a good situation for her.
So even if she didn't mean to, she was a bit prickly when she talked to Lin Fan since she could only vent this unwilling feeling towards him.
Lin Fan however didn't mind at all as he could guess what she was thinking. He even felt that it was quite funny since he had already seen how deeply in love the Mu Stellar King was with Dongfang Tao Hua.
He didn't believe that he would ever cheat, let alone take a concubine.
So he couldn't help feeling a bit sorry for her since he could already guess what would happen.
When he arrived at the store, he was surprised to see how different it was from every other building around.
Most of the other residences around this building were all tents. This building was one of the few buildings that had been placed in this camp.
After all, this was a temporary camp, so it didn't make sense to build solid buildings like this. The only other buildings that were here were all important military locations that would serve a long term use.
When the soldiers in the camp saw Lin Fan arrive at the new store, they naturally couldn't help looking at him with curiosity and a bit of hostility.
They were curious why this person would receive this kind of special treatment.
As for the hostility, they were naturally envious of the treatment this person received.
But not a single one of them dared to do anything about it.
They knew that to receive this kind of treatment, this person would have a special status. If they were to do anything to him, the ones that would suffer would be them in the end.
After all, they were nothing more than rank and file soldiers, so they weren't that strong to begin with.
They could also sense that they couldn't see through the depths of this person or the assistant beside him. So even if they did want to make a move against him, it was very unlikely that they would be able to do anything to him.
They could only watch to see what made this person special.
Lin Fan entered the building when he arrived and he was surprised by what he saw.
He thought that this place would either be decorated as a store or wouldn't have any decorations at all, but this wasn't the case. This building was filled with only equipment for training pets and a room for him to sleep in, there was nothing else here.
However, he knew that this fit what he currently needed since he was nothing more than a contractor hired to train pets.
But this didn't work for the system since it wouldn't allow its host to live in a space that it didn't control.
So in the end, Lin Fan drew the curtains and closed the door behind him before coming out with Ying.
Ying was confused why he would do this and asked, "Mister Lin, what are you doing?"
But Lin Fan didn't give an answer. All he said was, "Wait and see."
She clearly wanted to say something else, but seeing the look on Lin Fan's face, she knew that it would be useless. No matter what she asked him, it was clear that he wouldn't give her an answer.
So she had no choice but to wait and see.
They stood outside the store for a full ten minutes before Lin Fan gave a nod and started moving towards the door.
Ying was naturally surprised by Lin Fan's sudden movement, but she still followed him since she was curious what he was doing.
The moment that he opened the door and she saw the inside of the store, her chin couldn't help dropping.
The store looked completely different from before.
It still had the same design and layout, but the furnishings were completely different.
To put it simply, it was as if everything in the store had been upgraded.
But that didn't make any sense since she hadn't heard a single thing from the store. So how had he refurbished the store so quickly?
Not to mention, there was no sound made at all.
It was as if it had been changed with magic.
Ying couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with a different look. The trace of unwillingness in her heart also faded a bit as she realized that Lin Fan wasn't what he seemed on the surface.
The Mu Stellar King must have had his reason to send her to guard over him if he had this kind of ability.
Lin Fan on the other hand didn't care at all as he entered the store and started looking around.
He was surprised that the system had decorated the store like this since he had never seen it do that. He had actually been worried that the store would have changed into something like the other store back in the Mu Stellar Kingdom capital.
That would have been hard for him to explain.
It was a good thing that the system had its considerations.
Luckily the store wasn't going to open today since he was going to take the day to settle and get used to the new store, however…the soldiers of the camp didn't plan on following that plan.
Well, it wasn't the rank and file soldiers, but rather the commanders.
The ones at the very top had received information from Lin Fan and understood the intention of the Mu Stellar King, but the low tier and mid tier commanders hadn't received this same information.
These low and mid tier commanders were mainly young masters from noble families looking to distinguish themselves on the battlefield.
However, since they were young masters, they still had their pride and arrogance as young masters.
They couldn't stand seeing someone being treated better than them like Lin Fan was.
Not to mention, he was even being accompanied by a beauty like Ying!
Ying normally hid her face since she worked in the dark, but that by no means meant that she was ugly. She was chosen not only for her cultivation talent, but also for her other aspects.
When working in the dark, there were times beauty was required to seduce a target.
Ying had that beauty and more.
She was only a fraction lower than Dongfang Tao Hua, so it was clear what kind of beauty she was.
Seeing that Lin Fan even had this beauty guiding him like he was on vacation, naturally the young masters were filled with envy and rage.
So there were some that chose to teach Lin Fan a lesson.
It was just too bad that they would be taught a lesson first.
