"Grab him!"

"Protect the princess!"

Xu Fan only heard a commotion before the entire hotel was in chaos.

In this situation, the best way to disguise oneself is naturally to side with the chaotic crowd.

Xu Fan was about to get up, but then he froze.

A soft female voice came from behind him: "Don't move."

If someone can suddenly appear beside you without you noticing, it means that person has the ability to harm you.

Xu Fan didn't move at all. Then he saw a beautiful girl in a white dress with a face as delicate as a porcelain doll suddenly walk up to him and sit down.

The doll blinked mischievously, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and a somewhat forced smile played on her lips.

"hello."

Xu Fan wasn't fooled by the girl's disguise. He looked around and asked in a low voice:

"Who are you?"

The girl breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

"My name is Sofia."

At this moment, Xu Fan noticed several men dressed in neat suits walking straight towards him.

"Sir, have you seen a man in a long robe or an incredibly beautiful young girl here?"

Just as Xu Fan was about to speak, Sophia's voice rang in his ears, and Xu Fan subconsciously clenched his fist. He shook his head at the person in front of him:

"Sorry, I didn't see it."

Another man looked Xu Fan up and down, then suddenly asked:

"As subjects of the Dragon Emperor, I think you should know that we have an obligation to do anything for the Dragon Emperor."

"Including stopping the riots."

The question was clearly about what had happened in the restaurant, but why Xu Fan was still sitting there calmly.

Xu Fan forced a smile onto his lips:

"Yes, sir, as subjects of the Dragon Emperor, we have an obligation to do anything for the Dragon Emperor."

"But as an older brother, I think even the Dragon Emperor would ask an older brother to protect his young sister, wouldn't he?"

As Xu Fan finished speaking, Sophia, who was sitting next to him, cautiously peeked out from behind him, her eyelashes fluttering, looking like a frightened girl next door.

Xu Fan glanced back at Sophia. Her face showed no change, but the people in front of her seemed not to recognize her.

The leading man nodded apologetically to Xu Fan:

"Yes, as a dragon, if I can't even protect my own sister, what right do I have to talk about loyalty to the Dragon Emperor?"

"Sir, once things at the restaurant are settled, I will arrange for you and your sister to leave as soon as possible."

Xu Fan extended his hand to the man in a friendly manner: "Thank you for your understanding."

“This is something a gentleman should do.”

As the group left, Xu Fan's expression instantly turned grim.

"Who exactly are you?"

Sofia proudly tossed her pink neck: "Someone who can tell you're human."

Xu Fan's main purpose in coming to the Dragon Bone Tomb was to prevent the resurrection of the ancient dragon spirit, so he didn't want to cause any trouble.

When the men in suits came over, Xu Fan instinctively wanted to expose Sophia.

But just as Xu Fan was about to speak, Sophia's soft voice reached his ears.

As long as you cover for me, I won't tell anyone that you're human.

As for the suggestion to use his sister as an excuse and to shake hands with the man in the suit, it naturally came from Sofia's suggestion.

Seeing the doubt still lingering in Xu Fan's eyes, Sophia gave him a sincere smile: "Although you have the aura of a dragon egg on you, your disguise will be exposed in no time in front of professionals."

“If you’re willing to let me stay by your side, then I can at least guarantee that these people will definitely see you as a dragon.”

These words touched Xu Fan somewhat. Judging from the soldier's earnest instructions when he entered the city, they clearly had doubts about his identity.

What do you want to do?

Upon hearing Xu Fan's question, Sophia blinked her eyes and swung her legs on the high stool.

"I want to go for a walk outside the city, but girls who are not of legal age cannot leave the city alone."

"So that's why you came to me?"

Sofia smiled sweetly:

"But you'll help me, won't you?"

"elder brother."

Xu Fan was initially hesitant, but upon hearing the word "brother," he instantly thought of his younger sister, Xu Yan.

After a moment of silence, Xu Fan spoke:

"As long as you don't cause trouble and stay by my side during this time, I will take you out."

Sophia raised her right hand high: "I swear in the name of my mother, in the name of the Dragon Emperor, I will never cause you any trouble."

"good."

Looking at the somewhat chaotic restaurant, Xu Fan frowned and asked:

"What exactly happened here?"

Sofia rested her chin on her hands, her eyes, which seemed to hold the stars and the sea, curiously sizing up Xu Fan.

"I heard that several assassins came to the restaurant. They must be investigating the assassins now."

Xu Fan sighed. Who would have thought that he would encounter an assassination attempt on his very first day in the Dragon Bone Tomb?

The system's mission in the Dragon Bone Tomb still has no clues, and the commotion in the tavern is not over yet, so Xu Fan took the opportunity to chat with Sophia.

"What is the name of this city? What is its connection to the Dragon Emperor?"

"In ancient times, the dragon race was severely suppressed by the gods. After many hardships, the dragon race finally found a place where they would not be noticed by the gods."

"After the dragons entered this place, they first buried their ancestors, and then, under the leadership of the Dragon Emperor, they built this holy city suitable for the dragons to live in."

Xu Fan remained noncommittal about this. It seemed that with the global resurgence of terror, the Dragon Emperor was unwilling to let the dragon race continue to be confined to this place, so he wanted to revive the ancient dragons?

But then Xu Fan remembered the sign he had seen at the restaurant entrance earlier: "What's the deal with the Dragon Emperor's 500th birthday?"

Sofia smiled sweetly, revealing two small dimples at the corners of her mouth.

"If we calculate it according to your human methods, a three-hundred-year-old dragon in the Holy City is just coming of age, and as for five hundred years old, it is merely the Dragon Emperor's full birthday."

"How long until the Dragon Emperor's five-hundredth birthday?"

Sophia leisurely counted on her fingers: "There are still half a month left. By then, all the dragons near the Holy City will come to celebrate the Dragon Emperor's birthday."

In other words, it's highly likely that the Dragon Emperor would choose to revive the undead dragons at that time?
