Chapter 789: Chapter 789

"What a coincidence, we meet again,"

Just then, a man walked over and carelessly sat down beside Ding Fan.

Ding Fan glanced at the man before him. It was none other than Dong Fangshuo, whom he had met previously in the small town.

Ding Fan wasn't surprised; it seemed Dong Fangshuo was also heading to the South Sea to attend the martial arts competition, so it was normal to see him on the train bound for the South Sea.

Dong Fangshuo sat there, but his eyes kept staring at Huan Er sitting across.

Huan Er, apart from being quite attentive and gentle towards Ding Fan, was usually rather aloof. Confronted with Dong Fangshuo's burning gaze, she pretended as if she hadn't seen it at all.

Mu Zi was certainly aware of Dong Fangshuo.

When Dong Fangshuo had a conflict with Ding Fan yesterday, it was her arriving in a car that had caused Dong Fangshuo and the others, who did not want to provoke the military, to leave.

Now that Dong Fangshuo had returned, he surely wouldn't leave so easily this time.

However, Dong Fangshuo really was too annoying. As soon as he arrived, his eyes shamelessly fixated on Huan Er, treating both Ding Fan and himself as if they were nothing but air...

Instantly, her eyes started darting around in chaos...

"There's no seat for you here, scram," Ding Fan said blandly to Dong Fangshuo beside him.

Dong Fangshuo didn't get angry this time; instead, he smiled nonchalantly. "This train isn't your property, where I sit shouldn't concern you... Even if there's a beautiful female military officer covering for you, you can't be too overbearing, right?"

"We just happen to be traveling the same way, I'm not covering for him," Mu Zi quickly interjected to clarify their relationship.

Ding Fan didn't even need to look to know why Mu Zi said what she did. This little fairy always enjoyed stirring trouble without fearing the consequences; her words were clearly encouraging Dong Fangshuo.

As expected, Dong Fangshuo's eyes lit up when Mu Zi spoke like that.

"My friend, since we know each other, shaking hands should always be possible, right…" Dong Fangshuo said as he extended his right hand.

Mu Zi looked on with amusement. How could she not know what Dong Fangshuo was thinking? The man clearly wanted to crush Ding Fan's hand, making him lose face in front of Sister Huan Er.

At this moment, Mu Zi actually felt a pang of sorrow for Dong Fangshuo. He wouldn't die if he didn't seek death.

"We are not friends," Ding Fan said flatly.

"What? Too scared to even shake hands?" Dong Fangshuo's lips curled up in a smug grin.

In the natural world, males always want to show off in front of females. Dong Fangshuo was like an animal in heat, eager to demonstrate his formidable power before Huan Er.

Ding Fan originally didn't want to bother with this minor character, but since the other party kept pushing himself under his feet, Ding Fan had no choice but to casually step down.

Ding Fan straightforwardly extended his hand.

Dong Fangshuo's eyes brightened, and he grabbed it firmly, confident that he could crush Ding Fan's hand and break his bones with a single grip.

"I have a habit; if we don't shake hands for at least five minutes, it doesn't express enough enthusiasm."

But when Dong Fangshuo actually grabbed hold of Ding Fan's hand, he was taken aback.

Right from the start, Dong Fangshuo had used all his strength, but Ding Fan's hand felt like a bunch of cotton, leaving him without a point to exert force upon.

Dong Fangshuo was the Young Sect Leader of Fenghuo Gate and had seen the world.

Yet he had never before encountered a situation like today's. How could anyone's hand be as soft as if boneless, like a bundle of cotton?

While Dong Fangshuo was still confused, all of a sudden, an indescribable, overwhelming force surged forth.

In front of such power, Dong Fangshuo didn't even stand the slightest chance to resist.

In an instant, the sound of bones breaking echoed from Dong Fangshuo's hand. At that moment, he nearly collapsed and cried out in pain.

This was only because Dong Fangshuo had practiced martial cultivation for many years, with a will stronger than most; otherwise, he would have been unable to bear it.

"You two really are close, shaking hands for such a long time…" Mu Zi joked cutely, propping up her cheeks.

Mu Zi pulled out a watch to check the time. "You do have an unusual habit, shaking hands for five minutes, and it's only been twenty-something seconds…"

Right now, Dong Fangshuo truly felt like crying. His hand was completely deformed, and with only twenty-something seconds in, what would it look like after five minutes...

Although Dong Fangshuo really wanted to beg for mercy,

how could he possibly yield in front of a supreme beauty like Huan Er?

Sustaining Dong Fangshuo was the hatred for himself. Why was he such an idiot, so blind, to shake hands with Ding Fan and even be the one to suggest a five-minute duration...

As Dong Fangshuo struggled to hold on, an even more formidable force surged from the center of his hand.

Dong Fangshuo looked at his hand, now completely disfigured. At this moment, he couldn't feel his hand at all anymore.

"That… that… Let's just end our handshake here, shall we…"

Dong Fangshuo's forehead was dripping with sweat... Observing closely, you could see his legs trembling slightly, a clear indication of the severe pain he was enduring.

Before Ding Fan could respond, Mu Zi next to him waved his hand and said directly, "Didn't you just say you wanted to shake hands for five minutes? We soldiers are very principled, not a second less than five minutes can be spared. Besides, a handshake is a way to express feelings. How can you let go before the time is up? Therefore, not a second more either, I will keep time for you..."

Dong Fangshuo had already made a big decision to back down, but who would have expected Mu Zi to come out with such a load of crooked logic...

How is anyone supposed to live ...

"Actually... there's no need for five minutes, I just remembered I have something urgent to do, so I'll be taking my leave." Dong Fangshuo really couldn't endure it any longer.

It had only been a minute so far and he was already in so much pain that he was nearly fainting; if he really waited for five minutes, wouldn't he just die on the spot?

Ding Fan simply let go of his hand and said with an icy face.

If it weren't for small fries like Dong Fangshuo provoking Ding Fan, how could Ding Fan possibly have stepped on him?

At that moment, Ding Fan simply let go of his hand.

Dong Fangshuo's hand was completely limp now, without any feeling.

Dong Fangshuo wasn't a fool; if Ding Fan could crush his hand , it meant that Ding Fan's cultivation was far more formidable than his own.

Without daring to let out even a fart, Dong Fangshuo walked away without looking back, behaving himself.

Being an Earth Level Peak martial artist, Huan Er had seen everything that just happened.

She never liked people like Dong Fangshuo to begin with, so having Ding Fan teach him a lesson was a good thing.

After tossing Dong Fangshuo out, the three enjoyed a rare moment of peace, watching the scenery outside and chatting about everything under the sun...

In another corner of the train compartment.

At this moment, the elder that Dong Fangshuo had brought with him was setting his broken bones.

Dong Fangshuo was enduring the pain with all his might. After a series of clicks and snaps, Dong Fangshuo's hand eventually returned to its normal appearance.

"Young master is all set now. I believe your hand will recover its normal condition within three days," the white-bearded elder told Dong Fangshuo.

Dong Fangshuo said through gritted teeth.

"I swear, I will kill that man!"

The pain of setting bones was not something an ordinary person could endure, and in order not to draw attention, Dong Fangshuo bitterly persevered. For origınal chapters go to 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

Just for the agonizing pain alone, Dong Fangshuo decided he would make Ding Fan pay tenfold, a hundredfold.

"These are special times, and I think it's not the time for the young master to show off," said the white-bearded elder indifferently.

Dong Fangshuo glanced at the elder. "Elder Lu, is that all there is to it concerning my hand?"

"I, Luv Gang, can assure you, young master, that I will take revenge for your hand... I'll handle that young man. Since we still have some time before reaching Serpent Island, you should rest assuredly," said Luv Gang.

Dong Fangshuo nodded. "Don't worry, Elder Lu, I will work hard and definitely not let down my father's expectations."

The elder Luv Gang nodded. "The man who broke your hand won't live past tomorrow night."

Luv Gang was known for his steadiness; after all, Dong Fangshuo had a cultivation of the Fifth Grade Earth Level, which was quite rare for his age.

Yet, as soon as Ding Fan made his move, he immediately broke Luv Gang's hand.

From this alone, it was clear that Ding Fan's cultivation far exceeded Dong Fangshuo's.

Being a young man in his early twenties, Ding Fan was now traveling by train to the South Sea, and obviously, he was going for the martial competition at Serpent Island.

The winner of this martial competition would be promoted to an Immortal Sect.

The Immortal Sect, a place that many yearn for in their dreams. Luv Gang accompanied Dong Fangshuo on this trip to help him win the championship. Now that he had encountered a promising candidate like Ding Fan, how could Luv Gang let him go...

Any potential obstacle to Dong Fangshuo's championship had to be eliminated.

So, Luv Gang's desire to kill Ding Fan was not just because Ding Fan broke Dong Fangshuo's hand; even without this incident, Luv Gang would certainly have slain Ding Fan...

"I must have him flayed and dismembered!" At this moment, Dong Fangshuo spoke hatefully at the side.

Dong Fangshuo had intended to show off in front of the beautiful Huan Er but ended up embarrassing himself instead, which hampered his chances with the ladies.

Just for that alone, Luv Gang was determined not to let Ding Fan off.

"Rest assured; I'll take care of the rest," Luv Gang said indifferently at the side...

Mu Zi was now recounting her heroic adventures during this period to Ding Fan and Huan Er.

"Brother Fan, Sister Huan Er, I'm not bragging, but back then I was surrounded by those bad guys... and I wasn't scared at all. With several consecutive kicks, whack, whack... I sent them all running..."

Although Huan Er was cold, she liked Mu Zi's cheerful character. She grew up in the Sea of Flowers with hardly any friends, so she became an avid listener to Mu Zi's stories...

Ding Fan was bored and just listened for amusement.

"Hello... I am from Japan, and my name is Kamii Ichiro..." Just then, Kamii Ichiro, who had boarded the train earlier for a live shooting, came over.

Huan Er and Ding Fan showed no enthusiasm for the newcomer, but Mu Zi lit up with excitement.

"Hello..." said Mu Zi, while waving at the camera behind Kamii Ichiro.
