Chapter 174: Chapter 121: True Dragon Takes a Bite, Not Talking Sense but Talking Physics, and Talking Sense After Physics (4K)_2
His neck, densely covered with dragon scale marks, slowly faded away.
“Heh…”
Xiahou Shen stared at Xue Jing, his neck being choked, he could only emit a hoarse and meaningless sound, unable to speak.
He had many doubts in his heart.
Those scale-like things on the young man's neck, were probably some kind of defensive martial technique, how did he manage to use it in such a short time?
Also, at the moment he swung his fist to strike, he seemed to see another layer of black, leather-like material suddenly appear on the opponent's neck…
Was it an illusion?
It seemed like a long time, but from when they spoke to when the fight ended, it was only a matter of seconds.
At the hotel entrance, two figures rushed out, one of which was a middle-aged man. Seeing Xiahou Shen being held in the air by Xue Jing's chokehold, his expression changed immediately and he said anxiously.
“Friend, let's talk this out! Don't be impulsive!”
Xue Jing turned his head and was surprised to find that the middle-aged man speaking was accompanied by the short young man whom he saw earlier at the port waiting hall.
Recalling the news he saw on his sister's phone, that man was called… Du Mingluan?
“It's you!”
Du Mingluan looked at Xue Jing in shock.
A few hours ago, this damned bastard had knocked him and Kou Chengjian unconscious and then maliciously positioned them to lie in each other's arms.
Damn it!
Du Mingluan became instantly heated, ready to confront Xue Jing.
“What are you doing, Mingluan?” The middle-aged man saw something was amiss and immediately reached out to stop him.
Du Mingluan gritted his teeth and said, “Uncle Li, this man is the one who just…”
Upon hearing this, Uncle Li understood why Du Mingluan was acting this way, he shook his head and said gravely,
“No, Xiahou is in his hands, we can't be rash…”
At that moment, another person came out of the hotel.
That was a woman, nearly 1.9 meters tall, dressed in a black martial arts uniform, with tanned skin and bulging muscles straining against her loose clothing.
Xue Jing looked at her, curious.
Though not obvious, there were indeed some bulges on her chest not characteristic of pecs; her face, though lined with rugged muscular features, still had a softness to it, and her hair was waist-length.
The muscular woman, noticing Xiahou Shen's predicament, also showed surprise on her face.
“Friend, let's talk. What conflict did you have with Xiahou? It shouldn't escalate to a fatality, let's have a proper discussion…” Uncle Li spoke cautiously, careful not to provoke Xue Jing.
The taxi driver was crouched low in the cab, peering out, both curious and fearful of these 'superhumans.'
Xue Jing smiled and said, “It's not a big deal… This man hit someone's car, and before discussing any compensation or responsibility, he tried to flee the scene, so I just advised him a bit, but I didn't expect things to turn out this way.”
Hearing this, the muscular woman appeared embarrassed and raised her hand,
“This… It's partly my fault too.”
Contrary to her appearance, her voice was surprisingly sweet and girlish.
This contrast made Xue Jing pause momentarily.
He nodded at the woman and smiled, “Since that's the case, you should also come over and discuss it with the driver… Miss, what's your name?”
Miss?
The woman looked puzzled; this was the first time someone had called her 'miss' without knowing who she was upon seeing her.
However, because of Xue Jing's novel attitude and handsome appearance, although she was uninterested in romantic affairs, she couldn't help but feel a bit of favorability towards him.
“Yin Muhu.”
The woman responded.
Xue Jing nodded and smiled, “Nice name, I'm Xue Jing.”
Uncle Li seized the opportunity to interject, “Mr. Xue, Miss Yin, the fault lies entirely with Xiahou here, and we will take full responsibility and compensate the driver… As martial artists, we say no fight, no acquaintance, and there is no deep-seated hatred. Xiahou has probably learned his lesson, so how about we let this matter rest?”
His attitude was sincere, and since Xue Jing was not particularly concerned and they were willing to compensate the talkative driver, he decided to let it go.
“You see, it's much better to be honest and reasonable in life, why resort to unnecessary violence?”
Xue Jing shook his head.
Xiahou Shen: “…”
The vice-like hands released, and Xiahou Shen, who had been held up like a little chicken, immediately fell to the ground.
He supported himself with one hand on the ground while covering his throat with the other, coughing nonstop, blood flowing from his shoulder.
Within two seconds, as his breathing recovered, his power began to circulate again, and the wound on his shoulder gradually closed up, no longer bleeding.
“By the way, Shady Girl, how did this guy offend you?”
Xue Jing turned his head and asked Yin Muhu.
Although he still didn't know the details, he had already concluded under the impression that it was definitely this Xiahou who had started the trouble.
“Shady Girl…”
Hearing this nickname, Yin Muhu's mouth twitched slightly, speechless, and she crossed her huge arms, which resembled bull's thighs, making herself look even bigger.
She said calmly,
“He tried to take liberties with me, and I kicked him away.”
“I see.”
Xue Jing pinched his chin, looked at Xiahou Shen, and said, “As expected, the responsibility is all on you.”
Uncle Li, seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the damaged car to discuss compensation with the driver.
At first, the driver shook his head fearfully, indicating it wasn't necessary, but after some back-and-forth, and a few words from Xue Jing, he happily accepted an amount far beyond what was needed for repairs.
After thanking Xue Jing profusely, the driver made a call for a tow truck, which towed the car to a repair shop, and he himself left on the tow truck.
After the matter was resolved, Uncle Li smiled at Xue Jing and said,
“Mr. Xue, may I ask from which prestigious school you hail, to be able to train such an outstanding young man?”
Xue Jing glanced at him and replied, “Qingcheng, Hidden Dragon Dojo.”
“Hidden Dragon?” Uncle Li pondered briefly.
Then he realized, “Ah, so you're a disciple of the 'Dragon King'? Truly a great teacher produces outstanding students…”
Xue Jing waved his hand, “Enough with the chatter, I have an appointment and must be going.”
Uncle Li wanted to chat more with this young prodigy, but seeing that he indeed didn't want to talk further, he let it be.
Xue Jing turned to Yin Muhu, curiously asking, “Shady Girl, are you also here for the U19?”
Yin Muhu first nodded, then couldn't restrain herself, “Why do you call me 'sister'?”
Xue Jing thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, “I don't know, just a gut feeling, I guess. You seemed younger than me.”
Although they had only just met, some people just make you feel like they could become a friend instantaneously.
Xue Jing felt he really got along well with this big sister who had a comforting presence.
“I was born in October of the year 250.” Yin Muhu crossed her arms, her voice contrasting sweetly like that of a young girl.
Xue Jing said, “I was born in June of the same year… See, I am indeed older than you.”
Yin Muhu seemed somewhat unsatisfied, “Even if I am a bit younger, that doesn't mean I have to be called 'sister,' right?”
Xue Jing shook his head, laughing, “It's just a nickname, if you don't like it, we can change it.”
“It's not that I mind, it just feels odd…”
The two talked as they walked toward the Yunlu Hotel.
Uncle Li, Xiahou Shen, and Du Mingluan watched their retreating figures, speechless.
After a while, Uncle Li spoke,
“This Xue Jing… is no ordinary person.”
He glanced at Du Mingluan, some things were better not said aloud.
“I'll win against him in the competition,” Du Mingluan stated indifferently.
Xiahou Shen, touching his shoulder and grimacing in pain,
“Forget it, you just got hung up at the dock and beaten alongside Kou Chengjian, talk less boastful.”
“That was because Kou Chengjian was a hindrance, and I was careless at that moment…”
“Heh, whatever makes you happy.”
Xiahou Shen chuckled.
“Uncle Li, Doctor Zhang is in Maple City, right? You have more influence, help me set up an appointment… Otherwise, my shoulder's done for. How the heck did that kid train? He's like a monster, such immense power.”
