Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 435: Tomb of the Mysterious Lady

At this moment, An Lan was only wearing a camisole nightgown, her eyes dull, her facial expression as if she had lost her soul, step by step walking toward the depths of the mountain cave.

She was completely unaware of Chen Fan’s presence, nor did she hear his voice, and even when she saw a light in the cave, she still walked forward like a zombie.

Chen Fan noticed An Lan’s abnormality, quickly walked up to her, and waved his hand in front of her eyes, finding no reaction whatsoever.

"Could it be that she is being controlled by someone?"

He twisted his hand gestures, releasing a force that enveloped An Lan, and instantly sensed a connection between her and the depths of the cave, intangible and elusive.

He did not hesitate, immediately cutting off this connection.

In the moment the connection dissipated, An Lan’s eyes gradually cleared, and her pupils began to focus.

Her first reaction was confusion, and upon realizing she was in a dark, frightening cave, her face filled with fear. Then she saw Chen Fan by her side, and that she was only wearing her camisole nightgown, she quickly covered her chest and took two steps back, glaring at Chen Fan and shouting, "You bastard, you say you’re not interested in me, but behind my back, you bring me to a place like this, you’re a beast, a scoundrel, a hypocrite!"

Chen Fan, seeing An Lan wake up and immediately accuse him, was somewhat at a loss for words, "Can you figure out the situation first? I certainly didn’t have the time to bring you to a place like this."

An Lan, fiercely, "I was sleeping soundly, and when I opened my eyes, I found myself here, and it’s just you and me here, if it wasn’t you who brought me, then who could it be?"

"And I already made my feelings known to you, if you really wanted to do that kind of thing with me, why didn’t you just agree to stay with me at the hotel at night? Why did you act so prudish then, and now secretly bring me to such a place, could it be that you like this kind of thrill?"

Chen Fan felt a definite communication barrier between him and this woman, he directly shot a few beams of light to both sides, illuminating the surroundings, saying irritably, "Take a good look for yourself, if I really wanted to take you out to do that kind of thing, would I need to go to a place like this?"

An Lan turned her head to look around and saw that both sides were pitch-black, damp caves with all sorts of eerie and oddly shaped bugs, which frightened her so much that she immediately ran to Chen Fan’s side and clung to his arm.

"What... What place is this? It’s scary..."

Because she was so nervous, An Lan’s body was almost pressed against Chen Fan, and being only in her camisole nightgown, it made Chen Fan quite uncomfortable.

"You... let go of me first," Chen Fan said.

Instead, An Lan gripped even tighter, "I don’t want to, I’m scared. Since you’re so certain it wasn’t you who brought me here, then tell me, why would I end up here when I was sleeping so soundly?"

Chen Fan had no choice but to recount why he was here and how he found An Lan.

Of course, regarding the matter of divine sense, he simply mentioned sensing something unusual about the place, without going into too much detail.

After listening, An Lan also furrowed her brows, clearly finding it somewhat incredible, "Which means, I was being controlled by a mysterious force and walked here on my own?"

Chen Fan nodded, "You could understand it that way."

An Lan asked, "Why would I be controlled by this mysterious force? I haven’t done anything wrong."

You secretly trying to seduce me isn’t doing anything wrong... Chen Fan shook his head, "I would like to know why as well."

He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you know about the Nine Heavens Fairy?"

An Lan shook her head, "I don’t know."

Chen Fan was momentarily at a loss for words, considering the carving of the Nine Heavens Fairy above the cave entrance, the secrets within this cave must definitely be closely related to the Nine Heavens Fairy.

An Lan being controlled by a mysterious force must also be tied to the Nine Heavens Fairy, but since An Lan knows nothing about the Nine Heavens Fairy, there’s no way to speculate about the reasons behind this.

After pondering briefly, Chen Fan said, "Now, to understand these things, we can only delve deeper into the cave and see what’s inside. Stay behind me, and don’t run around. Let’s go in and check."

An Lan quickly nodded, in such an enclosed space, her instinct was to seek support; now, Chen Fan was the source of all her sense of security, she wished she could stick to him as they moved.

Chen Fan had just taken a few steps forward when he felt the soft touch and frowned, stopping again.

An Lan immediately asked, "What’s wrong?"

Chen Fan took out a set of clothes belonging to Su Qingyan from the Heavenly Creation Pearl and handed it to An Lan, "Change into these clothes first, your current nightgown is not convenient."

An Lan’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Where did you... where did you conjure these clothes from? You clearly had nothing in your hands just now!"

Chen Fan said, "Don’t ask so many questions, just change and we’ll talk."

An Lan could only nod, taking the clothes, then shyly staring at Chen Fan, "Turn around." freēnovelkiss.com

Although she acted as if she wanted to dominate Chen Fan, that was to ensnare the man’s heart; she herself was still a rather shy girl and could not be as open as she appeared.

Chen Fan naturally had no interest in watching An Lan change clothes and turned his back to her.

If I really wanted to see that, I could use divine sense to see you completely, no need for eyes at all. Chen Fan mused to himself.

Of course, divine sense couldn’t be used in this cave, so he was just thinking to himself.

An Lan quickly stripped off her pajamas and then put on the clothes belonging to Su Qingyan.

They were a pair of jeans and a shirt. Since Su Qingyan and An Lan were about the same height, the clothes fit her just right.

"All right, you can turn around now," An Lan said as she ran her hands through her hair, and then stuffed the pajamas she had taken off into Chen Fan’s hands. "Here you go, they even have my body scent on them."

Chen Fan rolled his eyes and casually threw the pajamas behind him.

An Lan’s face turned red with anger. "Hey, those pajamas were expensive, and I wore them close to my body, and you just threw them away like that!"

Chen Fan walked straight ahead. "Hurry up and follow, stop babbling."

Stomping her feet in frustration, An Lan quickly caught up, as if she was afraid Chen Fan would leave her behind.

After she caught up to Chen Fan, she deliberately said, "This shirt feels a bit tight."

Chen Fan glanced back and saw that, with An Lan’s figure, the shirt’s buttons were indeed about to burst open.

However, he did not engage with the woman and even quickened his pace a little.

An Lan huffed, thinking to herself that her figure was indeed better than Su Qingyan’s, even if he didn’t have the guts to argue!

...

Deep inside the cave.

In front of an ancient stone door.

Ye Lingyun was carefully examining the stone door with three elders in black robes. One of the elders was holding a clear and transparent jade stone, looking for a place on the stone door where it could be set.

These three black-robed elders were three highly respected elders of the Ye Family, known by their codes as Elder Wu, Elder Liu, and Elder Qi.

Elder Wu had already reached the third tier of the Divine Realm, while Elder Liu and Elder Qi were at the second tier.

"According to the secret passed down in our family, after finding the tomb door to the Mysterious Lady’s tomb, all we need to do is to set this Mysterious Lady Stone in the door, and that will open the tomb," said one elder.

"The Nine Heavens Fairy is a great figure from ancient legend. Surely there must be a vast amount of treasure in her tomb. If we can get our hands on these treasures, our Ye Family will surely rise to the next level, becoming the undisputed overlords of this world. Then, even when facing the Ancient Eight Clans, we will have a greater confidence," Elder Wu said as he searched for the slot.

Ye Lingyun, excited by these words, laughed and asked, "So, the treasures in this tomb - do they have the power to help me break through to the Divine Realm?"

Elder Liu, standing by his side, smiled and said, "Helping you break through to the Divine Realm is a minor matter. If we’re lucky, we might even find a way to break through the barriers of the Divine Realm and advance to a higher realm. By then, our Ye Family might produce a true Cultivator, just like in the Ancient Times. At that time, the Ancient Eight Clans will have to be renamed to the Ancient Nine Clans."

Ye Lingyun’s face was filled with shock; he had not expected that the Mysterious Lady’s tomb contained the secret to becoming a true Cultivator.

Soon, Elder Wu found a slot on the stone door that was a match for the size of the Mysterious Lady Stone and exclaimed excitedly, "Found it!"

Ye Lingyun and the others hurried over.

Elder Wu, holding the Mysterious Lady Stone, carefully set it into the slot, which fit perfectly.

Then he quickly stepped back, waiting for the Mysterious Lady’s tomb to open with the other three.

However, after the Mysterious Lady Stone was placed into the slot, there was no reaction, nor any sign of the door opening.

All four were puzzled.

Ye Lingyun asked, "Elder Wu, why isn’t there any movement from the stone door?"

Elder Wu was just as confused. "Strange, according to the family secret, once the Mysterious Lady Stone is set in the slot on the door, the tomb should open. Why isn’t there any reaction now?"

Elder Liu pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be possible that the Mysterious Lady Stone is a fake?"

Elder Qi said, "The Mysterious Lady Stone has been passed down in our family; it can’t be fake. We must have missed something."

All three elders were deep in thought, unable to pinpoint exactly what had gone wrong.

Ye Lingyun said from the side, "To open the Mysterious Lady’s tomb, other than the Mysterious Lady Stone, could there be other conditions we need to meet?"

The three elders looked at each other and felt that what Ye Lingyun suggested was very likely.

But as for what specific conditions they needed to meet, they were at a loss.

As they racked their brains, Elder Wu suddenly became alert and looked toward the entrance of the cave. His eyes narrowed as he said coldly, "Someone’s coming!"
