Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 377: The Collapsed Xiao Che

Xiao Che’s eyes widened, "Gone...gone?"

Master Xuan Kong nodded, "Indeed, it’s quite peculiar. My previous divinations indicated that there was a Dragon Vein here, so how come it’s gone now?"

An expression that looked as if Xiao Che had just eaten shit immediately appeared on his face. He thought to himself, you’d better not be joking with me, it was you who said there was a Dragon Vein here which is why I bought this luxurious house, but since the other person was at the level of fifth-grade Divine Realm, he dared not to speak openly and could only feign calmness, saying, "Master Xuan Kong, please take another good look, could you have sensed it wrong?"

Master Xuan Kong was about to say he hadn’t made a mistake, but upon seeing the expression on Xiao Che’s face, he thought to himself, could this kid suspect that I’ve been deceiving him?

So he changed his tone and said, "I’m not clear on the specifics, but I found a passage leading underground in this house, let’s go check it out."

Xiao Che quickly nodded.

The two went to the basement, and after briefly sensing the area, Master Xuan Kong detected a mechanism and found the safe door behind a cabinet.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Che slammed his palm against the safe door, and with a bang, a dent appeared, but it didn’t open.

"What material is this door made of, to be so sturdy?" Xiao Che frowned slightly.

He turned his head to look at Master Xuan Kong, signaling him to give it a try.

But Master Xuan Kong stood there without moving.

Xiao Che was puzzled, then remembered something and said, "Master Xuan Kong, please try to see if you can open this door. I have already bought this house, so even if the door is destroyed, no one will say anything."

Master Xuan Kong then raised his hand and released a force, breaking open the safe door at once.

He glanced at Xiao Che and thought, you looked at me earlier as if I owed you a Dragon Vein, now I dare not act rashly, in case you accuse me of foul play later, that would be troublesome.

The two followed the corridor all the way to the room where Zhong Shulou had been previously.

Looking at the furnishing in the room and the big hole in the wall, Master Xuan Kong said indifferently, "It seems that there really was a Dragon Vein here before, and this place is the closest to the Dragon Vein. However, it’s unknown why the Dragon Vein has suddenly disappeared."

His implication was that my previous divinations were not wrong; there was indeed a Dragon Vein here, but it has suddenly vanished, so don’t think I’ve been fooling you.

Xiao Che’s brows were tightly knitted, and he muttered to himself, "How could it just disappear?"

"Could it be that the previous owner of this luxurious house secretly took the Dragon Vein away?"

With that thought, he immediately took out his phone and dialed Zhong Xinyao’s number to inquire about the secret chamber and the Dragon Vein.

Zhong Xinyao truthfully told him that Zhong Shulou had hired a master to identify the Feng Shui treasure site and then constructed a secret chamber there to extend life. She then mentioned that she had no idea what a Dragon Vein was, only knowing that the site was extraordinary, but the disappearance of the Dragon Vein as mentioned by Xiao Che had nothing to do with her.

Some hysteria crept into Xiao Che’s voice, "How could you possibly not know? The Dragon Vein here must have been taken by you, this is a trap you set for me. You deliberately sold the luxurious house to me, and before the handover, you took the Dragon Vein away, you swindler, give me my money back!"

Zhong Xinyao replied irritably, "I don’t know what you’re talking about, we conducted a legitimate real estate transaction, and the value of the luxurious house itself is over 20 billion. It was you who insisted on paying 30 billion, so please don’t make unreasonable trouble!"

After that, she hung up the phone.

Xiao Che, furious and frustrated, immediately tried to call back.

Master Xuan Kong stopped him, saying, "If she’s just an ordinary person, then there’s no need to look for her, she might indeed not be clear about what’s going on."

Xiao Che said anxiously, "But the Dragon Vein was still here before she sold me this place,

after selling it to me, it was gone. She’s the only one who could have taken it!"

Master Xuan Kong replied, "You’re thinking too simply. A Dragon Vein is connected to the Earth Vein, do you realize how difficult it is to remove a Dragon Vein?"

"Currently, I know of only two methods to take away a Dragon Vein, one is to use Ancient Immortal Skills to extract the Dragon Vein from underground, but the immortals have long since perished, so that possibility is next to none."

"Dragon Veins are sentient, and some particularly powerful Dragon Veins may break free from the earth on their own and change their location," he said. "The second method I am proposing is to capture them when they free themselves from the ground."

"Given the current situation, it’s very likely that the Earth Vein here had become powerful enough to break free from the earth’s restraints and leave this place. It’s just our bad luck that we came at the wrong time and missed it."

Xiao Che felt like crying but had no tears, then pointed at the hole broken in the wall, "Then who made this hole?"

Elder Xuan Kong, to convince Xiao Che that the Dragon Vein had run away, and to clear himself of any responsibility, perfunctorily said, "This should have been caused when the Dragon Vein broke free."

That was a real possibility. He wasn’t just making it up.

Xiao Che’s heart went completely cold as he murmured, "So, my thirty billion... has just gone to waste?"

Elder Xuan Kong patted Xiao Che’s shoulder, "Dragon Veins possess the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. Maybe it sensed that you were planning to use it to break through, so it left in advance. It’s just bad luck. Look on the bright side, at least you’ve got this exquisite mansion, right?"

"I have other things to take care of, so I’ll be leaving now."

After speaking, Elder Xuan Kong hurriedly left.

Xiao Che clenched his fists and looked up to the sky with a roar, "Damn heavens, give me back my thirty billion!"

...

Vienna Bar.

Mu Qingqing was holding Chen Fan’s hand and happily hopping towards the interior, appearing very cheerful.

Chen Fan glanced at her and said, "You might as well let go of my hand. People will think you’re my girlfriend, and you will miss the chance to be hit on."

Mu Qingqing lifted her head proudly and said, "I’m holding my brother-in-law’s arm. Isn’t that allowed? Let them get the wrong idea if they want to. Anyway, the guys who come here are either Sea Kings or scumbags. I never planned to find a boyfriend in a place like this. If I were to choose, I’d look for someone like you, brother-in-law,"

Chen Fan felt helpless, thinking that holding arms was no big deal, so he said nothing more.

The two reached the bar counter when Guan Xiaolin, dressed in a black, tight-fitting, off-the-shoulder dress and high heels, walked over.

With her cleavage partially exposed and her walk full of allure, the small bell she wore around her neck drew the gazes of numerous men in the bar.

She approached Chen Fan and Mu Qingqing with a smile, "You guys are here, I’ve reserved a booth over there. Come and sit."

The three of them walked over and sat down in front of the booth.

Chen Fan, looking straight at Guan Xiaolin, asked directly, "Considering that we made you kneel and bark like a dog in public, you should hold a grudge against us. Instead, you’ve invited us to the bar. Your intentions can’t be simple."

Guan Xiaolin’s expression stiffened upon hearing this, then she openly said, "You’re right."

Mu Qingqing’s face turned cold, "So it’s true, Guan Xiaolin, I knew you were up to no good!"

Guan Xiaolin hurriedly said, "I do have another purpose, but please don’t misunderstand."

She looked at Chen Fan and said, "The reason I had Qingqing bring you here was to ask you... could I possibly be your girlfriend?"

Chen Fan was speechless, "Stop pretending. What is it you really want to do?"

Guan Xiaolin got up and sat on the other side of Chen Fan, grabbing his arm with both hands, almost pressing against him, and looked at him with pleading watery eyes, "I’m serious."

Her expression turned shameful, "After you forced me to kneel and bark that day, I felt a strange excitement inside me. I couldn’t forget that feeling when I went back home... I always wanted to try it a few more times. I think that’s my true self... Would you be my master?"
