Chapter 371: Chapter 371
How did Mu Zi find Ding Fan?
If others knew how Mu Zi found Ding Fan, they would surely be amazed to death.
After Ding Fan left the note and walked away that day, Mu Zi mobilized eighteen out of the thirty-two military satellites of Huaxia Country. She scanned all the necessary passages to Longxi thoroughly.
Later, Mu Zi also called upon the National Security Bureau's nationwide investigation network to track the hotel where Ding Fan was staying. In the end, she even used the GPS global positioning photography system to take a picture of Ding Fan.
Sitting in the car, Ding Fan looked at the photo Mu Zi handed to him. In the photo, it seemed like Ding Fan was looking at something. His facial features were captured in great detail, such that even the hairs on his face were clearly visible.
When Ding Fan looked at the photo, he really was at a loss for words.
This Mu Zi had utilized national power just to ascertain his location, and on top of that, pranked him by taking his photo. It was truly using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
However, upon seeing the photo, besides being speechless about Mu Zi's antics, Ding Fan also felt the might of the nation's power.
No matter how formidable he was, he was no match against satellites, cannons, tanks under the technological civilization!
Without absolute strength, Ding Fan thought it best to keep a lower profile.
"What mission brought you to Longxi this time?" Sitting in the passenger seat, Ding Fan turned to look at Mu Zi next to him.
While driving, Mu Zi grinned and said to Ding Fan, "Following Brother Fan guarantees a feast. Last time you went to Zhangjiajie, I didn't follow, but this time in Longxi, I'm determined to stick to you like glue. For the next thirty-six hours, don't even think about shaking me off. I won't let you out of my sight, not even if you go to the restroom!"
Although Mu Zi said it with a laugh, Ding Fan didn't think for a second that Mu Zi was joking. This tomboy grew up in the military, always brash and full of cunning tricks. What she said, she could nearly always do.
"Are Xian Shui and the others doing okay?" To avoid any further discussion about restroom matters with Mu Zi, Ding Fan quickly changed the subject.
"Sister Ning Qing just came back from a mission. The two of them are now holding down the fort in the Harem..."
After hearing Mu Zi speak, Ding Fan almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. How did it become the Harem? It made him sound like an emperor.
Mu Zi drove the car, and both of them quickly returned to the hotel where they were staying.
Ding Fan had intended to get Mu Zi another room. But, to his great annoyance, the number of people coming to Longxi was increasing and the hotel had no spare rooms left.
Mu Zi didn't mind at all. "Alright, Brother Fan, let's just share a room then..."
Ding Fan was dumbfounded. Now it really was like what Mu Zi said — a shadowing mode where she wouldn't leave his side!
But there was nothing else to do now. Mu Zi had already arrived and he certainly couldn't ask her to leave. Moreover, with Longxi being a place of mixed company, even if he let Mu Zi go now, Ding Fan would still be worried about her safety.
If something happened to Mu Zi in Longxi, Elder Mu would surely skin him alive...
Even if Ding Fan wasn't afraid of Elder Mu flaying him, he didn't know how he would face Elder Mu afterward!
After entering Ding Fan's room, Mu Zi casually bounced onto the bed and stretched out her limbs with gusto.
She then let out a series of comfortable moans, "Mmm... that feels so good..."
Ding Fan's face was all twitch. If someone else heard that sound, they would totally misinterpret the situation.
"Ahem..." Ding Fan deliberately coughed twice. "You take the bed, I'll sleep on the sofa..."
Mu Zi had no objections.
She began to take off her jacket.
Mu Zi was dressed in a casual tracksuit. Once the jacket was off, underneath was a tank top.
Due to years of training, Mu Zi's figure was incredibly toned — a slightly raised posterior, sizable breasts, slender legs, and a trim waist...
Mu Zi lightly brushed the hair behind her ear, assuming poses full of charm, bewitching all who saw!
Unaware of how seductive her current stance was, Mu Zi proceeded to remove her leisure trousers. Her pale, well-proportioned calves were revealed as she wore a pair of stretchy shorts beneath, which emanated an inviting allure.
"What are you doing?" Ding Fan asked, watching Mu Zi undress.
"Taking a bath... after all the dust from the journey, of course, I need a proper hot shower!" Mu Zi replied as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
At that moment, Ding Fan couldn't find any words to argue.
Indeed, after she had traveled all this way through dirt and dust, what's wrong with taking a shower?
"Then you go first, I have some things to take care of outside!" In a rush, Ding Fan pushed open the door and walked out.
Mu Zi, watching Ding Fan's retreating figure, felt somewhat triumphant. She went to the full-length mirror and struck several attractive poses, appreciating her tall and perfect physique, a smile curving at the corner of her mouth.
"It seems I do have quite the lethal appeal!"...
Since Mu Zi was using his bathroom to shower, Ding Fan found it inappropriate to return, and feeling bored, he paced up and down the corridor.
"Ding Fan..." Just at that moment, someone at the end of the hallway called out Ding Fan's name.
Ding Fan turned to look.
Without knowing when, Jing Yi, accompanied by Fang Ruo, was already standing in front of him.
"On the way here, you were following me," Jing Yi said to Ding Fan, her tone somewhat unfriendly.
Ding Fan's brows furrowed slightly. "I don't understand what you mean?"
"There's nothing to misunderstand. In that small town far from here, I've seen you before." At this moment, Fang Ruo said coldly, her eyes frosty.
In the town with the Testing Stele, Fang Ruo indeed had encountered Ding Fan. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝
"Ding Fan, you've already written a letter of divorce, so please stop harboring any illusions about Ruoran. Your stalking me to find out Ruoran's whereabouts will only bring disaster upon you both!" Jing Yi said, her tone stern.
"Back then, you beat and scolded Junior Sister Ruoran. Do you still want to pester her now... As long as I'm here, I will never allow it!" Fang Ruo declared righteously.
"Ding Fan, let go of your obsession with Ruoran."
Ding Fan knew Jing Yi and the others had misunderstood him. But he couldn't be bothered to explain; such matters only became murkier the more he tried to clarify.
Thereupon, Ding Fan turned around and began to walk away.
"You disrespectful brat, my master hasn't finished speaking, and you're leaving?" Fang Ruo, seeing Ding Fan's rudeness, immediately reached out her hand and grabbed towards Ding Fan's shoulder.
Ding Fan did not turn around. Just as Fang Ruo's hand was about to grab his shoulder, a majestic surge of True Qi burst forth, repelling Fang Ruo several steps backward.
Jing Yi's face changed.
Back in Dancheng, she had exchanged blows with Ding Fan, and his Inner Strength wasn't this formidable. In just a few months of not seeing him, his Inner Strength had become so powerful that he could repel an Earth Level Fourth Grade Martial Artist!
His rate of cultivation was incredibly fast.
Fang Ruo was also stunned, staring blankly at Ding Fan's retreating figure without uttering a word for a long while.
Jing Yi noticed Fang Ruo's astonishment and asked, "Fang Ruo, what's wrong?"
After a moment of daze, Fang Ruo hurriedly shook her head. "No... Nothing..."
Jing Yi glanced at Ding Fan's distant back. "After the auction, if he continues to , try to find a way to shake him off..."
"Let's go," Jing Yi said and turned to leave.
Fang Ruo still watched Ding Fan's back.
This man's presence, it somehow resembles Ruoran's!
Since yesterday, when Ding Fan saved her from the Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch, Fang Ruo had been paying attention to any news about Ruoran. But for the entire day, she hadn't seen Ruoran.
And now, for some reason, she felt the aura of last night's Ruoran from Ding Fan's silhouette...
How could this scumbag have the same feeling as Ruoran...
Ding Fan returned to his room, where Mu Zi had finished bathing and was now sitting on the large bed, wrapped in a bathrobe, watching TV.
Mu Zi looked like a lotus emerging from water, with droplets still clinging to her hair.
Beneath the ample bathrobe, Mu Zi's fair neck and tender long legs were filled with an overpowering allure.
The entire room was suffused with the subtle fragrance emanating from Mu Zi's body.
"Brother Fan, can you teach me the skill of hitting acupoints?" Mu Zi sprang over to Ding Fan as soon as she saw him come in.
Mu Zi seemed to be oblivious to her attire as she rubbed Ding Fan's arm against her chest, just like usual.
At that moment, Ding Fan recalled the scene from when he was teaching Ning Luoxi about acupoints at the Ning Family Medicine Shop in Dongcheng.
In the deep quiet of the night, a solitary man and woman were alone in a room, touching and identifying each other's acupoints... That was rather too intimate.
Now, looking at Mu Zi, Ding Fan even wondered if she was wearing anything under the voluminous bathrobe at all. Touching and identifying acupoints under such circumstances was nothing short of a life-threatening affair.
"Let's talk about acupoints another day; I have some training to do."
After saying this, Ding Fan sat cross-legged on the sofa, closing his eyes.
He simply decided to go with 'out of sight, out of mind.'
Mu Zi stole a secretive smile upon seeing Ding Fan's demeanor.
"Brother Fan, it's a long night by myself... How about... How about..." Mu Zi began, hesitating mid-sentence.
Mu Zi's words left too much to the imagination. In the still of the night, 'how about' what? Was she suggesting they share a bed?
Ding Fan opened his eyes and looked at Mu Zi.
Mu Zi's eyes twinkled mischievously. "Brother Fan, how about you lend me Tiantian?"
Ding Fan knew Mu Zi was teasing him, but he didn't call her out. Instead, he waved his hand.
A fiery red blur shot out, and Tiantian somersaulted before pouncing onto Mu Zi's half-exposed chest outside her bathrobe...
