Chapter 78: Why Don’t We Just Get a Room?

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Why Don’t We Just Get a Room?

Su Qingyan stared at Shen Lingdie for quite a while before she lifted her hand and flicked Shen Lingdie’s forehead, "Compete with me my ass!"

Shen Lingdie covered her head, a look of grievance on her face, "Ouch, meanie."

Su Qingyan with a domineering expression, "Still want to compete with me?"

Shen Lingdie pouted, but ultimately, out of fear that Su Qingyan might flick her head again, she didn’t say anything and turned her head away, "Hmph!"

Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, never expecting that these two best friends would actually argue over him.

However, he only thought Shen Lingdie was joking since the girl’s thought process was different from ordinary people, so he didn’t take it to heart.

After the art exhibition ended, Chen Fan and the two girls, Su Qingyan and Shen Lingdie, ate together.

At seven in the evening, the three of them went their separate ways.

Before leaving, Su Qingyan pulled Chen Fan aside and whispered, "Don’t get too close with Die lately."

Chen Fan promised with a smile, "Don’t worry, I’ll certainly not disregard my girlfriend’s instructions."

Su Qingyan gave Chen Fan a proud glance and didn’t rebuke.

...

Shen Lingdie sat in her car, indignant, "Uncle Wang, my boyfriend has been stolen."

The driver, Uncle Wang, was totally confused, "Eh? Stolen by who?"

Shen Lingdie said seriously, "A female demon."

Uncle Wang laughed, "Then why not... come up with a way to steal him back?"

Shen Lingdie’s lips formed a pout, "I can’t beat her."

Then she continued to mutter, "But she’s leaving soon, and once she’s gone, no one will compete with me for him, hmph."

Uncle Wang, seeing Shen Lingdie’s somewhat cowardly yet unwilling look through the rearview mirror, did not speak further and just drove off with a smile.

...

Hillside Villa.

Chen Fan walked to the center of the Formation and reached for the piece of Thunder God Wood.

He released a strand of Spiritual Power, infusing it into the interior of the Thunder God Wood, then nodded in satisfaction, "Almost there, it’s time to start the refinement of the Magic Artifact."

"After Qingyan’s birthday, the people from the Capital will come to take her away. Before that, I must do everything I can to enhance my power."

Without much hesitation, Chen Fan sat down cross-legged, using his Spiritual Power as a carving tool, he began to refine the Thunder God Wood.

Douzhuan Star Shift, Alternation of Sun and Moon.

Several days later.

A sharp Sword Qi fluctuation emanated from inside the Hillside Villa, startling the birds in the surrounding woods into flying away in flocks.

The residents in the neighborhood also felt noticeably disturbed by this fluctuation.

Fortunately, the fluctuation was fleeting, and most people thought they had imagined it.

Inside the villa, Chen Fan looked at the small wooden sword floating in front of him and heaved a long sigh of relief.

"Finally, I’ve successfully refined this Thundercloud Sword."

The Thundercloud Sword, three inches long and exquisitely small, was crafted from the essence of the Thunder God Wood.

The body of the sword was filled with Spell Inscriptions; when activated with Spiritual Power, thunder arcs would flash around the sword, its Might astonishing.

This sword might appear tiny, like a trinket, but it was one of the most powerful Magic Artifacts a Qi Refinement Realm Cultivator could use.

During battle, infusing spiritual power into the Thundercloud Sword would cause its blade to swell dozens of times over, transforming it into an incredibly sharp Divine Sword that carries the Power of Thunder to slay enemies.

Inside the Thundercloud Sword, a complete Array was carved, named the Nine Extreme Sword Formation, with might that could shake the heavens and the earth. Once activated, those weaker than Chen Fan would stand no chance of survival within the Sword Array.

"With this Magic Artifact, my strength will be greatly enhanced. Among the Qi Refinement Cultivators, I should have few rivals," Chen Fan said with satisfaction as he put away the Thundercloud Sword, "It’s just that I don’t know whether a so-called Grandmaster Martial Artist is stronger or weaker compared to the seventh level of Qi Refinement. I must find an opportunity to have a fight with a Grandmaster Realm expert."

He looked at the remaining piece of Thunder God Wood, "This piece of Thunder God Wood can be used to forge a Protective Talisman for Qingyan. I’ll give it to her as a birthday present when the time comes."

At that moment, Chen Fan’s phone rang. It was Wu Tiangang calling.

"Master Chen, a Celestial Master has also appeared here in the Provincial City. This Celestial Master will hold a mysterious banquet in two days, where a powerful Magic Artifact will be displayed. If you’re interested, we could go together when the time comes," Wu Tiangang said.

Chen Fan’s eyebrows raised in interest at the mention of this so-called Celestial Master on Earth, and he replied, "Sure."

Wu Tiangang said, "The banquet will be held in Provincial City. I’m currently here, but we can arrange for someone to pick you up from Jiangcheng."

Chen Fan declined, "No need. Just tell me the time and place, and I’ll go there myself when it’s time."

Wu Tiangang said, "Then we’ll be expecting you, Master Chen."

Soon, Wu Tiangang sent Chen Fan the details for the time and place of the Celestial Master’s banquet.

The day after tomorrow night, at the famous Tianxiang Building restaurant in Provincial City.

"I haven’t been to Provincial City for many years, so this could be a good opportunity to take a trip there," Chen Fan thought.

He glanced at the time—it was two o’clock in the afternoon.

If he set out now, he would be able to reach Provincial City by evening.

After resting for one night, he could enjoy a day in Provincial City tomorrow.

Having made up his mind, Chen Fan didn’t hesitate and got up to pack his belongings.

Then he received a call from Su Qingyan.

"Are you busy these next couple of days?" Su Qingyan asked.

Chen Fan replied, "Not at the moment, why?"

Su Qingyan said, "Then pack your things. Come with me to the Provincial City to take care of some business. I’m driving over to you now."

Chen Fan laughed; it was such a coincidence that he could now save money on the high-speed train, "Okay, I’ll get ready."

It wasn’t long before Su Qingyan arrived at the entrance of Hillside Villa.

After getting out of her car, she said to Chen Fan, "You drive."

She then settled herself into the passenger seat.

Chen Fan got into the car, glanced at Su Qingyan with a smile, and asked, "What business are we handling in Provincial City? Why did you think to bring me along?"

Su Qingyan glared at Chen Fan, "Die has been especially attentive to you these past days. If I don’t bring you along, am I supposed to leave you in Jiangcheng to secretly develop a relationship with her behind my back?"

"What we’re specifically going to do, you’ll find out when the time comes."

Chen Fan laughed heartily, started the car, and drove towards Provincial City as the navigation directed.

The journey from Jiangcheng to Provincial City took over three hours, and by the time the two arrived, the sky had already darkened.

Looking at the skyscrapers on both sides of the road, Chen Fan remarked, "Indeed, big cities develop better. Compared to this, Jiangcheng really feels like a small place."

Before long, they arrived at a five-star hotel, intending to settle in first.

At the lobby, Su Qingyan approached the reception, handing over her ID card, "Hello, please open two rooms for me."

To the side, Chen Fan’s eyes shifted, thinking to himself that the deadline to return Su Qingyan’s life essence was drawing closer, and wasn’t this an excellent opportunity right now?

He made up his mind, then took a deep breath for courage and stepped forward, "How about... we just get one room?"
