Chapter 384: Lan Mengchen's Change of

"Dragon City?"

Chen Xiaobei was caught by surprise. "Why didn't you tell me earlier if you know that the auction is tonight?" He asked, a little upset. "I don't have a pair of wings to fly whenever I like!"

"You don't need a pair of wings," Luo Puti replied calmly. "Just get on a plane before noon. It's a very special auction; you'll be sorry if you missed it!"

"Fine! I'll check the flight schedules now! I'll definitely come... provided that there's a flight that gets there before noon!" Chen Xiaobei said before hanging up.

"Where are you going?" Xiangyu asked in curiosity.

"I'm going to Dragon City, the capital of China. I don't know what you call it during your time but that place is worth thousands of years in history!" Chen Xiaobei said as he searched through available flights with his cellphone.

"Can I go there with you? I want to check out the place as well." Xiangyu said.

"Of course! Leave it to me!" Chen Xiaobei smiled.

All he had to do was to purchase another flight ticket, but there was another issue - Xiangyu did not have an identification card, a record in the national registry or even a personal profile. It was impossible for him to buy a flight ticket.

"What's up? Everything alright?" Xiangyu asked. He could see that Chen Xiaobei was visibly frustrated.

"Everything's fine! I have to make a call to ask about something first!"

In order not to let Xiangyu down, he called the Green Vine Little Elf. Through his First Love Peach business, Chen Xiaobei found out that there was nothing that Wu Junfan could not achieve in Green Vine City - thus, the nickname.

"Xiaobei? How can I help?" Wu Junfan asked as soon as he picked up.

"I need your help." Chen Xiaobei went straight to the "My friend is heading to Dragon City with me but he lost his identification card and his household registration booklet. Do you have a way to get him on a plane?"

"What a coincidence, my private jet is heading to Dragon City as well! Come to the airport now; I'll ask the officer to skip the security procedures!"

"That's awesome! You're the best Green Vine Little Elf! I'll treat you to something nice when we return to Green Vine City!" Chen Xiaobei said excitedly.

"Save it. Please help me take care of Mengchen!" Wu Junfan suddenly added.

"Mengchen? What'd you mean?" Chen Xiaobei asked, puzzled.

"Mengchen is taking the private jet to Dragon City too! However, Uncle Lan is dealing with something outside the country while I have some urgent matters as well! I was worried about letting Lan Mengchen travel alone to Dragon City so I'm glad that you were incidentally heading for Dragon City as well! Just take care of her!" Wu said.

"Hehe! You're such a generous man, creating a golden opportunity for your love rival!" Chen Xiaobei said cheerfully.

"I'm not a narrow-minded person; I'm willing to do anything to make sure that Mengchen is protected. Also, it's just a one-time thing and I don't believe you could ever take her away from me. You don't' scare me!"

"Sure! Anyway, time to stop dicking around - I can't wait to meet my goddess at the airport! Bye!" Chen Xiaobei grinned and packed lightly. He then rushed to the airport immediately, with Xiangyu in tow. They were treated like VIPs when they arrived; the entire boarding process went a lot smoother than expected!

Inside the private jet.

Lan Mengchen held her chin with her fair and elegant hands, staring at nothing in particular.

"Captain, isn't it time to take off? Why are we still here?" She asked lazily and almost reluctantly - as if she had been forced to travel to Dragon City against her will.

"Master called me just now to inform me that his friend is coming onboard as well," the captain replied. "Let's wait for a while, they should be here soon."

"Wu Junfan's friend? Could it be..." Lan Mengchen was surprised - there was only one person she could think of.

"Goddess, I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" Chen Xiaobei boarded the plane happily and quickly sat opposite her.

"Why're you here?" She asked with a frown; it appeared she had a lot in her mind.

"I just wanted to ask you the same thing! Why didn't you tell me you're traveling to Dragon City? What's your business there?" Chen Xiaobei asked.

"It's none of your business! Why should I tell you? And I already told you plenty of times that we're just normal friends!" Lan Mengchen pursed her lips, stood up and moved to another seat far away from him.

Slightly irked, Chen Xiaobei scratched the tip of his nose. He did not understand why she was being cold; he always thought that his relationship with her was pretty good.

"Xiaobei, is it possible for this huge piece of steel to fly into the sky?" Xiangyu had been taking his sweet time to admire the jet from every angle before boarding the plane much later. Both Lan Mengchen and the captain were surprised to see him; after all, a man with his perfect appearance would become the center of attention no matter where he went!

Still, they were baffled when he asked a question that would make even make a three-year old kid blush.

"This is my Shixiong!" Chen Xiaobei quickly explained. "He came from deep within the mountains, so he never seen all these modern technologies!"

"I didn't ask you anything!" Lan Mengchen pouted and turned away from Chen.

"Please fasten your seatbelts. The plane is about to take off." The captain had entered the cockpit and announced from the intercom.

Xiangyu was as enthusiastic as a child. He kept peeking out the window to check out the shape of clouds and appeared unable to get bored of it. Meanwhile, Chen Xiaobei's efforts to chat up Lan Mengchen were abject failure; she completely ignored him even after they landed in Dragon City.

"Mengchen, allow me to help you to carry the suitcase. You sure packed a lot - do you plan to stay at Dragon City for long?" Chen Xiaobei asked enthusiastically.

"Please get away from me! Someone will carry the suitcase, and you're not them!" Lan Mengchen rejected his politeness coolly. She was getting increasingly annoyed once she stepped out from the private jet.

Xiangyu was not pleased either. "Xiaobei, Stop it!" He said with a deep voice. "She's asking you to get lost! Where's the chivalry?!"

"This is not about chivalry! Something's wrong." Chen Xiaobei replied softly. "I know her well; the way she's treating me means she's hiding something serious!"

*Vrooom*

*Vrooom*

*Vrooom*

The roar of an engine could be heard from a distance. A golden Ferrari was speeding towards the airport in at least a hundred and eight miles per hour, with two modified Hummers in tow!

It should not be forgotten that this was an airport; the driver of the Ferrari must be a powerful figure in Dragon City or possess some serious guts.

Or both.

"Chen Xiaobei! Leave, now!" Lan Mengchen shouted out of the blue.
