Chapter 175: Chapter 121: True Dragon Takes a Bite, Not Talking Sense but Talking Physics, and Talking Sense After Physics (4K)_2

Dragon scale imprints densely packed on his neck slowly faded.

"Heh..."

Xiahou Shen stared at Xue Jing, his neck being choked, only capable of making a hoarse, meaningless sound, unable to speak.

He had many questions in his heart.

The scale-like things on the boy's neck, must be some defensive martial arts technique being used, but how did he manage to deploy it in such a short time?

Also, just as his counterpunch was about to hit, it seemed to him that suddenly, a layer of dark, leather-like material had appeared on the opponent's neck...

Was it an illusion?

Their conversation had seemed long, but from talking to the end of the physical confrontation, it took only a few seconds.

At the entrance of the hotel, two figures dashed out, one of them a middle-aged man; he saw Xiahou Shen held up in the air with his throat locked by Xue Jing and his expression suddenly changed, speaking anxiously,

"Friend, let's talk it over! Don't be rash!"

Xue Jing turned his head and saw unexpectedly, next to the middle-aged man talking, that young man of short stature he had seen before in the waiting hall at the port.

Recalling the news he had seen previously on his sister's mobile, his name was... Du Mingluan?

"It's you!"

Du Mingluan looked at Xue Jing with shock.

A few hours before, this damned brat knocked him and Kou Chengjian unconscious and maliciously placed them together in a lying embrace.

Damn him!

Du Mingluan was immediately flushed with anger, ready to confront Xue Jing right there.

"Mingluan, what are you doing!?" The middle-aged man saw something was amiss and promptly held him back.

Du Mingluan gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Li, this man just..."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Li understood why Du was so agitated. He shook his head, saying solemnly,

"No, Xiahou is in his hands now; we can't act rashly..."

Just then, another person came out of the hotel.

It was a woman nearly 1.9 meters tall, dressed in a black martial arts uniform, her skin a wheat color, her body muscular, stretching her loose garments taut... a woman?

Xue Jing looked at her, curious.

Though not distinctly evident, there was indeed a slight protrusion on her chest that didn't seem like pectoral muscles, and although her facial features were marked by strong muscle lines, her overall facial structure tended towards softness, and she had long hair down to her waist.

After the muscular woman appeared, she too saw Xiahou Shen's predicament, her face revealing surprise.

"Friend, let's talk, what kind of conflict did you have with Xiahou? It shouldn't warrant a fatality, let's discuss this calmly..." Uncle Li started, his voice cautious, fearing to provoke Xue Jing.

The taxi driver was crouching low in the cab, peeking out curiously and fearfully at these 'superhumans.'

Xue Jing smiled and began, "It's not a big issue... This guy hit someone else's car and tried to flee the scene without discussing compensation or responsibility, so I simply persuaded him a bit, unaware it would turn out like this."

Upon hearing this, the muscular woman's face turned embarrassed, and she raised her hand and said,

"This... probably was partly my fault too."

Contrary to her appearance, her voice turned out to be rather sweet and charming.

Struck by the contrast, Xue Jing paused for a moment.

He nodded towards the woman, smiled, and said, "Since that is the case, why not come over and discuss it with the driver... Miss, what is your name?"

Miss?

The woman looked baffled; this was the first time someone had called her 'Miss' without knowing her, based on her appearance.

However, perhaps because of Xue Jing's novel approach and handsome appearance, although she was generally uninterested in romantic affairs, she couldn't help but feel a slight favorability towards him.

"Yin Muhu."

The woman spoke.

Xue Jing nodded, smiling, "Good name, I'm Xue Jing."

Uncle Li, seizing the moment, said, "Mr. Xue, Miss Yin, the fault is entirely Xiahou's. We will take responsibility and fully compensate the driver... As martial artists, we say, 'No combat, no acquaintance' and there's no deep-seated vendetta between us; I think Xiahou has also learned his lesson. How about we let the matter rest at this point?"

His attitude was very sincere. Xue Jing didn't really care, and since they were willing to compensate the talkative driver's losses, the matter might as well end there.

"You see, it's so much better to discuss things honestly when you're out and about; why resort to violence?"

Xue Jing shook his head.

Xiahou Shen: "..."

The iron vice-like grip released, and Xiahou Shen, who was carried like a little chick, suddenly fell to the ground.

He propped himself up with one hand while clutching his throat with the other, continuously coughing, as blood streamed down his shoulders.

Seconds later, after regaining his breath, his Power resumed its flow, and the wound on his shoulder gradually sealed, no longer bleeding.

"By the way, Shady Girl, what did this guy do to provoke you?"

Xue Jing turned his head to ask Yin Muhu.

Although he still did not know the details, under his preliminary impression, he had already concluded that it was definitely Xiahou who had stirred up trouble.

"Shady Girl..."

Hearing this nickname, Yin Muhu's mouth twitched slightly, a bit speechless. He crossed his arms, which were as huge as bull thighs, making himself look even bigger.

She said calmly:

"He tried to harass me, and I kicked him away."

"I see."

Xue Jing pinched his chin and looked at Xiahou Shen, "Indeed, the responsibility is entirely on you."

Li, seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, let out a sigh of relief and walked over to the damaged car to discuss compensation with the driver.

Initially, the driver shook his head fearfully, indicating it was not necessary, but after some back-and-forth, and a few words from Xue Jing, he happily accepted a sum that far exceeded the repair costs.

After thanking Xue Jing profusely, the driver called for a tow truck, had the car taken to a garage, and left on the tow truck himself.

Once the matter was resolved, Li turned to Xue Jing with a smile,

"Mr. Xue, may I ask which esteemed school you are from, to have trained such an exceptional individual?"

Xue Jing glanced at him and replied, "Qingcheng, Hidden Dragon Dojo."

"Hidden Dragon?" Li pondered for a moment.

Then, he realized, "Ah, so you are a disciple of 'Dragon King'? Indeed, a great teacher produces a great student..."

Xue Jing waved his hand, "Enough of that, let's not dwell on it. I have an appointment, so I'll take my leave now."

Li wanted to chat more with this young talent, but seeing that the latter was indeed not inclined to linger, he gave up.

Xue Jing turned to Yin Muhu, curiously asking, "Shady Girl, are you also here to participate in the U19 tournament?"

Yin Muhu first nodded, then couldn't help asking, "Why do you keep calling me 'sister'?"

Xue Jing thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know, just a gut feeling I guess, I felt like you might be younger than me."

Although they had only just met, some people just feel right to befriend from the first encounter.

Xue Jing felt quite a connection with this big 'sister' who gave him a sense of security.

"I was born in October of the year 250." Yin Muhu crossed her arms and spoke in a contrastingly sweet, girlish voice.

Xue Jing said, "I'm from June of the same year... See, I was right, I am older than you."

Yin Muhu seemed somewhat dissatisfied, "Even if I am a bit younger, that doesn't mean I should be called 'sister', right?"

Xue Jing shook his head with a smile, "It's just a title, if you don't like it, we can change it."

"It's not that I don't like it, it just feels odd..."

As they talked, they walked towards the Yunlu Hotel.

Li, Xiahou Shen, and Du Mingluan watched their departing figures, speechless.

After a while, Li spoke,

"This Xue Jing... is something else."

He glanced at Du Mingluan, some things better left unsaid.

"I will beat him, on the field," said Du Mingluan lightly.

Xiahou Shen, touching his shoulder and grimacing in pain:

"Give it up, you and Kou Chengjian were just recently hung up and beaten at the docks together, so tone down the big talk."

"That was because Kou Chengjian was in the way, and I was careless at that time..."

"Haha, whatever makes you happy."

Xiahou Shen chuckled.

"Li, Doctor Zhang is in Maple City, right? You have more clout, help me set up an appointment... Otherwise, my shoulder's going to be useless. How did that kid train anyway, he's like a monster, how can he be so strong?"
