Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 434 You’re Not Right

During the meal, Chen Fan got up to go to the restroom.

Seeing this, An Lan’s eyes twinkled and she also stood up, "I’ll go to the restroom, too."

She quickly followed Chen Fan and deliberately bumped into him when they were close to the restroom.

Chen Fan turned his head to look at An Lan, somewhat puzzled, "What are you doing?"

With a bit of haughtiness, An Lan looked at Chen Fan and chuckled, "Today, you put so much effort into archery to get the championship and still say you’re not into me. You’re such a man who says one thing and means another."

Chen Fan was speechless, "That was because Qingyan didn’t want you to fall for Ye Lingyun’s scheme, so she had me take action. Can you stop being so narcissistic?"

An Lan snorted, "Alright, alright, it’s all my narcissism. But you helped me out of an encirclement today and even saved my life in the afternoon. I ought to repay you somehow. What do you think... would dedicating myself to you be okay?"

As she spoke, she leaned her body toward Chen Fan’s side.

Chen Fan quickly stepped back, "Sister, can you not mess around? I’m not interested in you at all."

An Lan saw that Chen Fan seemed to genuinely have no interest in her, and she actually started to feel annoyed.

She was only trying to play Chen Fan, but now that he genuinely wasn’t interested in her, she felt oddly unbalanced.

How dare this guy not be into her!

She glared at Chen Fan with irritation and said, "All men are tough talkers. I don’t believe you’re really indifferent to me. The more you act like this, the more I want to get you, hmph!"

After saying that, she stepped into the women’s restroom ahead of Chen Fan.

Chen Fan sighed helplessly and headed for the men’s restroom.

When the two of them returned to their meal after finishing in the restroom, Chen Fan always felt that An Lan’s gaze towards him was somewhat strange.

He didn’t want to have too much to do with this woman. The fact that they were sitting together and eating was also because Su Qingyan was her fan. So, he just buried his head in his food and ignored all the looks An Lan was giving him.

But to his surprise, seeing that he wasn’t responding to her, the woman actually started to secretly rub his leg with her foot under the table.

Chen Fan was no saint; he was a normal man, and being teased in this manner by a woman would naturally make it hard for him to maintain composure, especially in front of Su Qingyan.

He almost jumped up on the spot.

To end An Lan’s wicked behavior, he had no choice but to excuse himself, saying he was full and stepping outside for some fresh air.

An Lan felt a triumphant delight in seeing Chen Fan’s flustered reaction, as though her mischief had succeeded.

At the same time, she realized that even though Chen Fan was very firm with her, he wasn’t one of those experienced playboys who could handle any kind of scheme easily. On the contrary, he seemed quite naive. A little teasing from her, and he couldn’t even handle it.

So she already knew what method to apply to get a grip on Chen Fan.

"Hmph, I’ve found your weakness. Seeing you looking like you’ve been through all the vicissitudes of love and invulnerable to women, I didn’t expect you to actually be a naive little boy. No wonder you can be so devoted to Su Qingyan. But someone like you is actually the easiest to manipulate. Just wait, you’ll be falling into big sister’s trap willingly!"

After dinner, the four of them stood at the entrance of the restaurant, ready to say goodbye.

"An Lan, it was really fun playing with you today. If possible, let’s hang out together again tomorrow," Su Qingyan said with a smile, naturally delighted to spend time with her idol.

Chen Fan couldn’t help but grumble inwardly, "Please don’t hang out with her again tomorrow, she’s not a good woman at all!"

However, thinking that today’s agenda had finally come to an end and there was no longer the need to worry about An Lan pulling any tricks, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, An Lan said, "Qingyan, why don’t you guys stay with me tonight? I’ve booked the best hotel in town, and it’s a top-floor presidential suite that overlooks the entire town’s nightscape. There are plenty of rooms inside, enough for all of us to stay."

The idea visibly brightened Su Qingyan’s eyes, and she was clearly inclined to agree, "Okay..."

However, Chen Fan’s eyes widened, and he quickly said, "No need, we’ll just stay at Jiang Qing’s place."

Who knows what you’d do if we stayed with you overnight? It’s too risky, definitely not something to try.

Su Qingyan glanced at Chen Fan with a hint of confusion, not understanding why he had so hastily refused, but seeing how firm he was, she said to An Lan, "We’re tired from playing all day today, it’s better not to bother you. We’ll just go back and stay at our own place."

With no further argument available, An Lan smiled and said, "Alright then, we’ll meet again tomorrow."

Chen Fan thought to himself, "Who said anything about playing with you again tomorrow?"

Worried An Lan might come up with more shenanigans, he didn’t dare linger and quickly led Su Qingyan and Jiang Qing toward the direction of their guesthouse.

An Lan watched Chen Fan dash off so fast and couldn’t help stamping her foot, "Why run off so quickly? All I did was invite you to stay over for the night. At most, I’d sneak in while you’re going to the bathroom at night and maybe pull on your clothes and do some indescribable things. I’m not going to eat you, so why refuse so bluntly?"

After grumbling a bit, An Lan also turned and walked towards her hotel.

She didn’t notice that she began to emit twinkling starlight around her, resonating with the starlight coming from a mysterious and hidden cave at the hot spring location from earlier that day.

...

Back at Jiang Qing’s house, after freshening up, Chen Fan and Su Qingyan returned to their room.

As soon as Chen Fan sat down, Su Qingyan pounced on him, pinning his arms to the bed and staring into his eyes as if trying to see right through him.

Chen Fan looked puzzled, "What... what are you doing?"

Su Qingyan narrowed her eyes, "Young man, there’s something off about you."

Chen Fan couldn’t help laughing, "What’s off exactly?"

Su Qingyan said, "I don’t know, woman’s intuition."

Chen Fan: "..."

Changing her tone, Su Qingyan demanded, "Tell me, were you attracted to An Lan’s figure? I felt something was off between you two during dinner. Are you hiding something from me?"

Chen Fan thought to himself how terrifying a woman’s intuition was and sighed helplessly, saying, "That’s so unfair!"

Su Qingyan pouted, clearly unhappy, loosened Chen Fan’s hands, and then sat to the side, "I’m sure you’re hiding something from me, hmmph."

Seeing her like that, Chen Fan had no choice but to say, "Alright, I indeed have been hiding something from you, but it’s not what you think it is."

Su Qingyan glared with wide eyes, "Wow, you! I was just bluffing you, but it turns out you really do have something to hide from me. Spill the beans right now!"

Chen Fan immediately had a face full of black lines, but he had been planning to explain this matter anyway, since if Su Qingyan really misunderstood, it would be impossible to clear up later.

He then recounted the incident with An Lan that day and spoke about how today An Lan had secretly made advances on him. He also shared some speculations, feeling that An Lan must have felt slighted in her heart and was intentionally using this method to regain face.

After listening, Su Qingyan’s eyes bulged round in disbelief, her pretty face full of incredulity, as if she never imagined her beloved idol would do such things in secret.

"An Lan... how could she do this..." Su Qingyan said, struggling to accept it.

Chen Fan said helplessly, "That’s why I didn’t want to tell you, since you like her so much. Knowing she’s been doing these things behind your back would definitely shatter her image in your heart."

"No matter what, it’s better for you to stay away from her from now on. One, her mind is not pure, and two, I’m afraid you’ll be led astray by her."

Su Qingyan immediately thumped him twice, "What are you talking about? I’m not that kind of person."

Then she said somewhat despondently, "I didn’t expect I was almost letting the wolf into the house, and to think I treated her like a good sister."

Chen Fan smiled and stroked her head, saying, "Don’t worry, with my faithfulness to you, even if we really had let the wolf into the house, I wouldn’t give her any chance."

Su Qingyan happily hugged Chen Fan, "That’s good to hear."

Afterwards, her hands began to wander.

Chen Fan’s eyes widened, "Now... right now?"

Su Qingyan said, "Yeah, why not? Otherwise, you might be snatched away by someone else. Even though you say you’re faithful to me, who can guarantee you won’t change your heart in the future? So before that happens, I need to do this more often, otherwise, I’ll be at a loss."

Chen Fan was torn between laughter and tears, "Wait a minute, there’s one more thing I haven’t told you about."

Su Qingyan asked puzzledly, "What is it?"

Chen Fan told her about the hidden place he discovered while soaking in the hot springs today, "There were other people around during the day, so it wasn’t convenient to explore. I plan to go there now and see what’s really inside."

Su Qingyan immediately got up, "Then let’s go together."

Chen Fan pulled her back, "That place is too mysterious. I am now at the Golden Core Realm, yet it can block my Divine Sense, which is enough to show how special it is. There may be unknown dangers hidden inside."

"Although you are not weak now, to be safe, you should stay here. I’ll go explore by myself. Once I’m sure there’s no danger, it’s not too late for you to go. That way, if we come across something dangerous that we can’t handle, it will be easier for me to escape alone."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyan immediately wilted and said, "Alright then, you go by yourself. Be sure to stay safe."

Chen Fan nodded and was about to leave.

Su Qingyan’s eyes turned, and she pulled him back again.

Chen Fan puzzled, "What’s wrong?"

Su Qingyan gave a mischievous smile, "Seeing as this matter isn’t urgent, before you go, let’s get the important things done first."

After saying that, she pinned Chen Fan onto the bed again.

...

An hour later.

Under the moonlight, Chen Fan’s figure flew swiftly toward the mountains.

Soon, he arrived at the place where he had soaked in the hot springs during the day. Then he released his Divine Sense, locked onto the place that could block Divine Sense, and quickly headed there.

Before long, Chen Fan came to a cliff overgrown with wild grass.

This place was home to many thickly foliaged trees, the ground was covered with weeds, and the cliffs were overgrown with vines, all looking somewhat sinister under the night sky.

"The thing that can block my Divine Sense should be this cliff. I wonder what secrets it hides."

Chen Fan reached out to clear away the vines on the cliff, and soon discovered that behind them was a cave more than three meters tall, hidden from view.

Due to years of neglect, the cave looked ancient and eerie. Inside, it was pitch black, and without his Divine Sense working, even Chen Fan felt a tinge of fear.

Chen Fan glanced at the cave entrance and noticed that on the rock above the entrance were several characters that were nearly indiscernible due to their age.

He created a light and took a closer look at those characters, quickly recognizing them.

"Nine Heavens Fairy?"

Chen Fan searched his Inheritance Record for information on the Nine Heavens Fairy, but found no records of her.

"Could it be that she’s not a very famous figure?" Chen Fan speculated, then walked into the cave.

He noticed that apart from the vines he had cleared, there were also signs that someone else had gone through here; footprints could be seen on the dust-covered floor of the cave, seemingly left not long ago.

"So someone got here before me. I wonder who else discovered this place."

Chen Fan felt a sense of alertness rising inside him as he continued to walk inside. Unable to use his Divine Sense in the cave, he could only rely on Spiritual Power to generate light and observe his surroundings.

Not far into the cave, Chen Fan noticed a figure ahead and felt a chill in his heart.

"Who goes there?" Chen Fan called out.

The other party didn’t respond.

Chen Fan had no choice but to send out a bright light towards that direction.

The cave lit up, and then Chen Fan saw clearly who it was, causing him to startle.

"An Lan?"
