Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Someone is Trying to Catch Me

Chen Fan opened his mouth, "Mayor Jiang..."

"No need to say more, if we’re not on the same page, better to say less!" Jiang Mingzhe turned and left directly.

Chen Fan activated his Heavenly Eye and looked at the misfortune already entwined around Jiang Mingzhe, and could not help but sigh helplessly.

Lu Jinyuan came over, "Mr. Chen, will Mayor Jiang really be plagued by the misfortune of that beheaded Buddha?"

He never forgot that Chen Fan also held the identity of a Celestial Master.

Chen Fan nodded, "The person who consecrated the Buddha must be someone with Dao Practice. Buddha and deities are enveloped in spirituality, which ought to bring good fortune, but since Jiang Mingzhe broke the Buddha’s head, he will definitely suffer retribution."

"Ah? What should we do?" Lu Jinyuan started to worry.

He almost died the last time because he didn’t heed Chen Fan’s advice.

Chen Fan thought for a moment, "He has managed to become Mayor, his heart must be proud; for things he doesn’t believe in, only personal experience will change his attitude."

"Go and collect that beheaded Buddha first and bring it back."

Lu Jinyuan quickly nodded, took the beheaded Buddha back and placed it inside a brocade box.

Ten o’clock at night.

Chen Fan returned to Hillside Villa.

Just as he was about to open the door, a delicate figure ran over, "Why are you only coming back now? You made me wait so long."

Chen Fan turned his head and saw it was Shen Lingdie, he was instantly taken aback, "How did you get here?"

Shen Lingdie patted the luggage next to her, "My leased apartment’s term is up, and the landlord kicked me out. I had nowhere to go, so I came looking for you."

Chen Fan’s eyes widened, "Your villa was rented?"

Shen Lingdie nodded seriously, "Mhm mhm!"

Chen Fan looked skeptical.

He didn’t know Shen Lingdie’s background, but from the fact that the young lady always had a driver when she left the house, it was clear she was no ordinary person.

To say that she couldn’t afford rent and was kicked out, he definitely didn’t believe it.

He thought for a moment, then asked, "How much did you rent that villa for?"

Shen Lingdie said, "I think... it was more than ten million, right?"

Chen Fan, "..."

Seeing his reaction, Shen Lingdie hurriedly corrected herself, "No no, it was rented for several million."

Chen Fan was even more speechless.

The market price for a Golden Lake Villa was indeed over ten million per villa.

The villa Shen Lingdie mentioned was definitely purchased!

She must have thought that renting a house should be cheaper, so she mentioned only a few million.

That was probably her idea of what renting a house should cost.

Truly a carefree young lady.

"So, will you take me in?" Shen Lingdie looked at Chen Fan with innocent big eyes.

Chen Fan sighed helplessly.

He remembered when Huang Tianba came looking for him, Shen Lingdie stood up to him all by herself.

She had almost lost her life because of him.

Even if he wanted to refuse, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

"It’s too late tonight, you can stay at my place for now and go back tomorrow."

Chen Fan said and opened the door to the villa, walking in.

Shen Lingdie, carrying her suitcases, followed him inside, "I need to take a shower."

Chen Fan nodded and arranged a room for Shen Lingdie.

Just as he finished, Shen Lingdie’s voice came from the bathroom, "Chen Fan, Chen Fan!"

Chen Fan went over, "What’s wrong? Did you fall?"

Shen Lingdie said, "Come in and help me scrub my back."

Chen Fan was caught between laughter and tears, "You can scrub it yourself."

He then turned and returned to his room, paying no heed to Shen Lingdie.

Just to be safe, he locked his bedroom door.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, while deeply immersed in his cultivation, Chen Fan heard someone trying to turn his doorknob.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Shen Lingdie’s annoyed voice came through, "Locking the door while sleeping is not what a gentleman does, hmph!"

Chen Fan merely smiled and continued his devoted cultivation.

"Now that my realm is stable, it’s time to learn some Divine Skills of the Foundation Establishment Realm."

He browsed through his Inheritance Memories and soon found a Divine Skill called the Candle Dragon’s Eye.

The so-called Candle Dragon’s Eye is actually a Pupil Skill, in the same category as the Heavenly Eye,

but the Heavenly Eye is more of an auxiliary Divine Skill, while the Candle Dragon’s Eye is an offensive Divine Skill.

Rumors say that some cultivators have brought the Candle Dragon’s Eye to a high level of mastery, with a single glance capable of incinerating the heavens.

Moreover, this Divine Skill is extremely effective against Yin evil entities; if mastered, wherever the gaze falls, demons and evil spirits will have nowhere to hide.

This Divine Skill is different from those Chen Fan had learned before; the Candle Dragon’s Eye has significant growth potential, with its might increasing as the practitioner’s own strength improves.

"Let’s try practicing this Candle Dragon’s Eye."

The next morning.

Chen Fan opened his eyes, shooting a sharp light from them that landed on the calendar hanging on the wall.

The calendar instantly caught fire and was burnt to a crisp in the blink of an eye.

Looking at Chen Fan now, his eyes were a dark golden color, his pupils faintly dancing with tiny flames, giving him an imposing presence that made people dare not look him in the eye.

"This Candle Dragon’s Eye is indeed formidable; I barely practiced for one night and it already possesses such great power."

"Killing with a mere glance, this is the poise a cultivator should have."

Chen Fan chuckled as he stood up and walked into the living room.

Shen Lingdie, dressed in a silk nightgown, sat on the sofa, swinging her jade-like feet back and forth.

Upon seeing Chen Fan come out, she pointed to her stomach, "I’m hungry."

Chen Fan helplessly went to the kitchen and made two simple breakfasts.

After breakfast, Chen Fan stared at Shen Lingdie, "Your Highness, it’s time for you to go back. Staying here will lead to misunderstandings."

Shen Lingdie shook her head, "The books say that for a woman to chase a man, only a layer of gauze is needed. As long as I take the initiative, we will have a story."

Chen Fan pinched the bridge of his nose, "But I already have Qingyan!"

Shen Lingdie said, "It doesn’t matter; she isn’t in Jiang City anyway. This is called taking advantage of the situation... oh, no, it’s called seizing the opportunity."

Chen Fan stood up, "No, you must go back today!"

Shen Lingdie blinked her innocent large eyes, "I don’t want to."

Chen Fan ignored her protest, went straight to the room, and brought out her suitcase, "Hurry and change your clothes, I’ll take you back."

Seeing that Chen Fan was serious about sending her away, Shen Lingdie suddenly looked aggrieved, "I won’t go; someone is after me, you have to protect me."

Chen Fan rolled his eyes, "Lying is not a trait of a good child."

Shen Lingdie looked pitiful, "I’m not lying."

Chen Fan pushed her into the room, "Your Highness, hurry up and change."

Shen Lingdie’s expression became unusually panicked, "Bad man."

Chen Fan remained unmoved; though he had quite a fondness for Shen Lingdie, he was a man, not a saint. Even if he were to commit to being monogamous, there would inevitably be moments he couldn’t control himself.

Therefore, he had to send Shen Lingdie away.

"I can make time to accompany you to the orphanage, but you can’t stay here."

"I don’t want to!"

While they were at an impasse, a sinister presence entered Chen Fan’s awareness.

He frowned and activated his Heavenly Eye, only to discover a Yin Spirit had drifted into the villa.

The Yin Spirit glanced at Chen Fan and Shen Lingdie before drifting back out of the villa.

Soon after, a deep shout came from the villa’s entrance, "Lingdie, come back with me!"
