Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 397 Su Qingyan Gets Furious
Chapter 397: Chapter 397 Su Qingyan Gets Furious
Su Qingyan’s eyes widened, and then she looked at the girl with some anger, "Who are you calling a vase? You’re so impolite!"
The girl, full of arrogance, looked down on Su Qingyan and said indifferently, "Of course, I’m talking about you. Look at you, with your fine and tender skin, so weak and fragile—if not a vase, what are you? You’d better hurry back and flirt to please men; a place like this doesn’t suit you."
This person’s name was Zhang Shengnan, an niece of Li Yunxi. Due to her carefree and straightforward personality, she was raised like a boy since childhood. She had trained in martial arts with Li Yunxi from a young age and had acquired considerable strength, always feeling that she was not much less capable than men.
The thing she hated the most were girls like Su Qingyan who were beautiful, slim, and delicate. Whenever she saw them, she treated them as mere vases and scorned them in her heart.
In her mind, those gentle and charming women who were liked by men were merely pandering to please men, losing their dignity as women. A truly great woman should be like her—overwhelmingly strong, independent of men in every way.
So, seeing Su Qingyan also going to follow into the mountain, and that she was such a beautiful woman, Zhang Shengnan naturally felt extremely annoyed.
Su Qingyan clenched her fists in anger and said, "You’re clearly a girl too, what gives you the right to speak about me like that!"
Zhang Shengnan sneered, "It’s true I’m a girl, but I’m nothing like you. I’m a master of Great Achievement in Internal Strength—most men can’t compare to me! Do you even grasp what Great Achievement in Internal Strength means?"
As she spoke, she picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground, held it in her hand, and squeezed it hard. The stone crushed into gravel.
"See that? Can you compare with me?"
Su Qingyan snorted coldly, "What’s there to brag about? Just watch me!"
As she spoke, she looked around and quickly locked onto a huge boulder over a person tall and weighing at least a few thousand pounds, walking towards it.
Seeing this, Zhang Shengnan immediately scoffed, "What are you trying to do? Don’t tell me you’re thinking of punching that boulder. If you hurt your hand, don’t start crying in front of us."
The other people also looked on with interest, although they did not share Zhang Shengnan’s disdain for beautiful women, they too wanted to see what Su Qingyan, a seemingly weak woman, intended to do.
Su Qingyan paid no mind to Zhang Shengnan’s words, walked to the boulder, circulated her Spiritual Power, and then struck out with a palm towards the front.
A strong gust of wind arose, jolting the spirits of everyone present.
Bang!
The huge boulder, taller than a person, suddenly sported a large hole in the middle, and immediately, countless cracks spread outwards from the hole, soon enveloping the entire boulder.
Then, with a cracking sound, those fissures burst apart, and the whole boulder shattered into countless small stones in an instant.
A middle-aged man, upon seeing this, exclaimed, "A Grandmaster! She definitely has the strength of a Grandmaster!"
Many people nodded in agreement.
Even Li Yunxi gave a fierce clap and shouted, "What a move!"
Zhang Shengnan was dumbfounded, staring at Su Qingyan with disbelief, unable to accept that a woman who looked so gentle and frail could possess such tremendous power.
And what’s more, she was so beautiful.
Why?
Her confidence, which she had built up as a truly unique force among women, crumbled in that moment.
"How... how can you be so incredible? This... this isn’t fair!" Zhang Shengnan cried out.
Su Qingyan returned with a cold expression and fixed Zhang Shengnan with a stare, "What’s unfair about it? Just because a girl becomes stronger, does she have to become as rude as a man? The fact that you think this way doesn’t make me respect you, rather it makes me feel you lack confidence. By trying to please men and making yourself like one, you’re losing even the most basic qualities of being a woman!"
Zhang Shengnan was left with nowhere to hide, and after pondering for a long time, she couldn’t come up with a single rebuttal.
Su Qingyan glared at Zhang Shengnan, "Apologize to me!"
At this point, Li Yunxi walked over with a smile, "Such a young lady yet with such strength, truly astonishing. My niece has always been careless and thoughtless in her speech. I hope you can forgive her."
He turned his head towards Zhang Shengnan, "Shengnan, aren’t you going to apologize quickly?"
As a seventh layer expert of the Transformation Realm, Li Yunxi of course had seen much and recognized that Su Qingyan might be the young miss of some martial arts family, people of not ordinary status, not ones they could afford to offend carelessly.
Although Zhang Shengnan was not convinced, she had to admit that she couldn’t have matched Su Qingyan’s move even if she had broken her fist, thus she softened and said to Su Qingyan, "I’m sorry."
Su Qingyan then let it go and returned to Chen Fan’s side.
Chen Fan started to laugh; he had intended to step in for Su Qingyan, but realizing that Su Qingyan was no longer an ordinary person, he let her handle it herself.
He hadn’t expected his beloved to be quite so domineering.
He began to worry about his status at home once Su Qingyan’s strength caught up with his.
Zhang Shengnan, already in a foul mood, became even more irked at the sight of Chen Fan laughing and snapped, "What are you laughing at? I might not be as powerful as her, but am I not more powerful than you? If you laugh again, I’ll knock your teeth out!"
After reaching the Golden Core Realm, Chen Fan’s aura became concealed, making him seem quite ordinary, so Zhang Shengnan assumed he was just a normal man.
Comparing the appearances of Chen Fan and Su Qingyan, she directly treated Chen Fan as if he were Su Qingyan’s follower or servant.
Chen Fan restrained his smile, choosing not to quibble with this unreasonable woman.
"We shouldn’t delay any longer, let’s head up the mountain."
Li Yunxi did not wish to waste more time and started leading everyone towards the mountain.
...
The mountaintop.
At the entrance of a hidden cave.
A middle-aged man in a black robe, with a sinister face and a blood-red mark on his forehead, was now sitting atop a large rock, overlooking the mountain below.
Inside the cave beside him, a glow flickered as if hiding some rare treasure.
The middle-aged man radiated a powerful presence that only a Divine Realm expert possessed, keeping the mountain’s birds and beasts from daring to approach the cave by even an inch.
He circulated his Qi, sensing the changes at the base of the mountain, and a cold smile gradually appeared on his face, "These fools, have they finally taken the bait?"
"Who would have thought that taking on the task from above, to deal with Chen Fan and Su Qingyan, would lead me to discover such a treasure on Tenglong Mountain."
"My Blood Demon Great Law still needs another dozen or so people to be perfected; with the help of the treasure in this cave, I will be able to step into the second grade of the Divine Realm. According to the news from above, Chen Fan and Su Qingyan are still in Jibei City. It won’t be too late to deal with the two of them after my breakthrough!"
"For today, let me refine these fools I’ve lured onto the mountain first!"
