Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 403: Treasure

Sun Jingyi’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Chen Fan. As the Sun Family’s young lady, others were always the ones seeking her favor. When had she ever needed to seek anyone else’s?

This guy actually had the nerve to suggest that she beg him, which was beyond shameless!

She looked at Chen Fan through gritted teeth and shouted, "Who do you think you are? Why should I beg you? Do you think you’re worthy of it?"

Chen Fan shrugged his shoulders, "I’m not forcing you to beg, but if you don’t, you won’t have any meat to eat."

Sun Jingyi glanced at the golden brown, sizzling wild boar meat and couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she clenched her fist and shouted, "Who cares about your lousy meat, it’s no different from what I’ve eaten before!"

After that, she turned and walked back with a face full of anger.

A smile appeared on Chen Fan’s face as he looked at the others and said with a laugh, "This wild boar is quite large, the two of us can’t finish it, so everyone, come and eat."

Having said that, he pointed at Sun Jingyi, "Except for her."

Seeing Chen Fan targeting her, Sun Jingyi felt even more furious towards him, but she believed her people would surely stand with her. They wouldn’t possibly switch sides over some wild boar meat, so she scoffed and said, "You think..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Lao Cai had already walked over beaming with a smile, "Wild boar meat is a real delicacy, especially out here in the wild, having a bite is like a treat for an immortal!"

Seeing Lao Cai making his move, everyone else couldn’t hold back. Sun Heng, who sat next to Sun Jingyi, was the first to stand up, deliberately avoiding her gaze as he walked over to the roasted wild boar, fetched a piece of meat, and said with a smile, "Lao Cai is right, wild boar meat is rare. We have to continue climbing mountains tomorrow, so it’s necessary to replenish our nutrients, I won’t be polite then."

After saying that, he began to eat heartily.

One by one, the rest followed suit, rushing over to enjoy the wild boar meat.

Only Sun Jingyi was left alone, her mouth half open and her face contorted with frustration, unable to say the rest of her words.

She glared fiercely at Chen Fan and muttered, "Bastard, it’s only because we’re in these wilds that I can’t deal with you. If we were in Luoyun City, I would make you pay!"

Having said that, she took a couple of aggressive bites of the compressed biscuits to vent her anger.

After having her fill, Su Qingyan saw Sun Jingyi sitting there alone, resentfully nibbling on compressed biscuits, and couldn’t help but snicker. Then, she quietly gave Chen Fan a thumbs-up.

Sun Heng and the others also returned to Sun Jingyi’s side soon after, with satisfied looks on their faces.

Licking his fingers, Sun Heng smiled and said, "I must admit, the taste of this wild boar meat is really something."

Sun Jingyi glared at him immediately.

Sun Heng laughed awkwardly and quickly corrected himself, "I mean, the taste of the wild boar meat is really quite ordinary, not delicious at all. The only reason we ate it was to replenish our energy so we can better protect you."

The others chimed in agreement.

Sun Jingyi cursed them inwardly for their hypocrisy, but she was helpless and could only give them a resentful glare before remaining silent.

During the night.

The group sat around the fire, chatting.

Sun Heng looked at everyone and asked, "Do you think we can really find the treasure of Worry-Free Valley this time?"

Upon hearing this topic, Sun Jingyi’s previously unhappy mood was instantly swept away, and she said excitedly, "Of course, it is said that the treasure is left by an Immortal. Once I get the treasure, I will give it to my father, and it will definitely make him a peerless powerhouse and fulfill his dream!"

Chen Fan, upon hearing their conversation, felt a slight stir in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he purposefully said, "How could there be a treasure in such a place? You must have been misled."

Sun Jingyi immediately glared at Chen Fan and said, "What would a country bumpkin like you know! We have reliable information. A friend of our Sun Family once even met an Immortal in Worry-Free Valley. The news about the treasure came from him, and afterwards, he was even directly absorbed into the Immortal Sect. Our elders even saw with their own eyes when he was taken away by people from the Immortal Sect. How could we have been misled!"

Chen Fan thought for a while and felt that the so-called Immortal Sect was likely the Ghost Witch Sect. That friend must have been controlled by the Ghost Witch Sect, spreading rumors about the treasure to attract people, probably to use them as cultivation furnaces for their Evil Cultivation Skills.

Although he didn’t like Sun Jingyi, out of good intentions, he still warned her, "If there truly was a treasure, why didn’t your friend take it for himself, instead of passing the message to you? This so-called treasure is very likely a trap."

Sun Jingyi scoffed, "He has joined the Immortal Sect and obviously does not need a treasure anymore. I think you’re just jealous we have a lead on the treasure and are purposely saying this!"

Chen Fan shook his head, seeing that Sun Jingyi didn’t believe his words, so he said no more. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

The next day, the group set off again, and after a tough journey through mountains and rivers, they finally arrived at Worry-Free Valley in the afternoon.

A chill pervaded the valley, and walking through it made people shiver uncontrollably.

Sun Jingyi took out something that looked like a treasure map from her backpack, then looked warily at Chen Fan and Su Qingyan, saying, "You two promised to split from us once we reached Worry-Free Valley."

Chen Fan smiled and walked into the woods with Su Qingyan.

Lao Cai hurriedly called out, "Don’t wander too far, you two. When it’s the agreed time, rush back here to regroup, or don’t blame me if something happens!"

Chen Fan waved his hand and did not respond.

The two quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Sun Jingyi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally got rid of those two burdens. If we let them follow us, they would probably fight us for the treasure later. That Chen Fan isn’t a threat, but that woman is extremely powerful. If she really makes a move, it would indeed be troublesome for us."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Sun Jingyi looked at the map in her hand, slightly excited, "Let’s go, we’ll find the treasure soon, and maybe we’ll even meet an Immortal!"

The group moved forward together.

On the other side, Su Qingyan asked Chen Fan, "Have you located the Ghost Witch Sect yet?"

Chen Fan shook his head, "The Ghost Witch Sect must be using some kind of hidden Formation to conceal their Sect. My Divine Sense can’t detect it. I didn’t expect they would have so many tricks up their sleeve; no wonder the Divine Covenant hasn’t been able to find the Ghost Witch Sect’s lair all these years."

Su Qingyan frowned, "So what do we do now?"

Chen Fan smiled slightly, "We’ll secretly follow Sun Jingyi and the others. Their so-called treasure is almost certainly a trap. When the people from the Ghost Witch Sect come to capture them and take them back to their Sect, that’s when we’ll find out where the Ghost Witch Sect actually is."
