Chapter 289: Meeting Ding Ran Again
“Dragon Breath Gathering? What’s that?” Upon hearing these words, Fang Yu was puzzled.
“It’s an event held by the Dragon Family, a martial arts clan on Nine Dragon Island. They hold the Dragon Breath Gathering every three months. They say the sky changes color during the event, and you can even hear real dragon roars! That’s why many tourists go to watch each time… They say if you’re bathed in the dragon’s breath, major illnesses become minor, and minor ones are cured completely…” Li Bingyan explained, “But I’ve only heard about it, I’ve never been to the Dragon Breath Gathering myself, the entrance fee is too expensive…”
“There’s an entrance fee?” Fang Yu asked.
“Of course, otherwise why would the Dragon Family let so many people share the dragon’s breath? The entrance fee is 50,000 yuan per person! But this time I’ve already gotten funding from my dad, enough for all of us to go.” Li Bingyan continued, persuading, “Boss, come play with us.”
Fang Yu thought for a moment and replied, “Okay.”
“It’s a deal! Tomorrow at 5:30 PM, Fat Liu, Yu Yueyue, and I will be at the Nandu High-speed Rail Station. We’ll meet you there and go to the dock together to board the cruise ship,” Li Bingyan said excitedly.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Yu fell into deep thought.
Nine Dragon Island, Dragon Breath Gathering…
Being able to hear real dragon roars?
Fang Yu was very curious about what these so-called dragon breaths and roars really were.
Because he was certain that in today’s world, there absolutely couldn’t be any living dragons.
Dragons, these mythical beasts, had been merely legends since Fang Yu was born.
In other words, dragons had vanished from the world nearly five thousand years ago, and no one had seen them since.
Stories about dragons only existed in ancient books.
Of course, Fang Yu believed that dragons had once existed.
It’s just that too much time had passed, and it was now very difficult to find any traces of dragons’ existence in the world.
However, sects and cultivation methods related to dragons existed both in the previous immortal cultivation world and in today’s martial arts world.
Moreover, the strange old man who had given Fang Yu a pair of eyes had also claimed that he had slain dragons before.
Although Fang Yu still wasn’t sure whether what the old man said was true or false.
In any case, this Dragon Breath Gathering held by the Dragon Family of Nine Dragon Island had completely piqued Fang Yu’s interest.
…
The next day at 5:30 PM, Fang Yu met Li Bingyan, Fat Liu, and the shy Yu Yueyue at Nandu High-speed Rail Station.
Upon seeing Fang Yu, Yu Yueyue finally smiled, ran to his side, and held onto his arm.
“Brother Fang Yu.”
Behind them, Li Bingyan looked at Fang Yu with envious eyes.
The boss is truly the boss, every goddess is so enthusiastic about him.
Fat Liu was also excited to see Fang Yu.
“Fang Yu, can you tell me how you managed to get perfect scores in all subjects? I can understand the other subjects, but I really can’t figure out Chinese. How do you write the reading comprehension and essays without losing points…” Fat Liu walked up to Fang Yu and asked repeatedly.
Fang Yu shook his head and said, “Just luck.”
“Luck!? I wish I could get perfect scores with luck too!” Fat Liu said.
“Strong people are always humble, but with your level, luck won’t help you,” Li Bingyan sneered.
“You…” Fat Liu was furious as he looked at Li Bingyan.
While the two were exchanging words, Yu Yueyue looked at Fang Yu and asked, “Brother Fang Yu, now that the scores are out, which university do you want to apply to?”
With Fang Yu’s scores, all prestigious universities in the Nine States would be competing to recruit him, even using various scholarships as incentives.
“If I do go to university, probably Nandu University,” Fang Yu answered.
“But with your scores, you could get into Qinghua in the Eastern Capital…” Yu Yueyue said in surprise.
Although Nandu University was also a prestigious school, ranking in the top ten nationwide in the Nine States, it still couldn’t compare to Yanching University and Qinghua University.
Given the choice, ten out of ten people would choose Beijing University or Qinghua.
“It’s mainly for convenience, I’ll be staying in Nandu for a while,” Fang Yu said.
“Oh,” Yu Yueyue didn’t ask further.
…
Around 7 PM, Fang Yu’s group arrived at Nandu dock.
A luxury cruise ship was docked at the pier, with many tourists boarding it.
Li Bingyan took out four boarding passes from his backpack and led Fang Yu and the others onto the cruise ship.
“This cruise ship belongs to Nine Dragon Island’s Zhou Family Jewelry, it’s super luxurious. It has entertainment facilities, buffet restaurants, movie theaters, billiard rooms, and even dance halls… It’s the largest cruise ship in all of Nine Dragon Island,” Li Bingyan explained to Fat Liu as they walked.
After boarding the ship, they first saw a very high-end lobby.
There were many chairs and sofas set up for tourists to rest.
And nearby was a bar that provided drinks and snacks.
The lobby was already filled with many tourists, with many heading up to the second floor.
“Want to go inside and take a look? That’s where the core facilities of this cruise ship are, with all kinds of entertainment,” Li Bingyan asked.
Fang Yu shook his head and said, “You three go ahead, I’ll stand on the deck for a while.”
Li Bingyan nodded and looked at Fat Liu and Yu Yueyue.
“Brother Fang Yu, are you sure you don’t want to come look?” Yu Yueyue asked.
“It’s not interesting, you guys go ahead,” Fang Yu said.
“Alright then.” Yu Yueyue had never been on a cruise ship before, let alone such a luxurious one!
Her big eyes were full of curiosity as she followed behind Li Bingyan and Fat Liu towards the interior of the ship.
At this time, on the second floor of the lobby, a graceful figure was leaning against the railing.
This was a woman with an alluring figure, dressed in luxurious clothes.
She was very beautiful, wearing light makeup.
At this moment, the woman was staring intently at Fang Yu’s figure in the lobby, her eyes full of resentment and hatred.
Fang Yu!
To think I would encounter you here!
This woman was Ding Ran.
Now, Ding Ran was Zhou Cheng’s legal wife.
That time, she had specially invited Fang Yu to eat at the cafeteria, then had someone take photos and send them to Zhou Cheng, trying to create the impression that Fang Yu was close to her.
But she hadn’t expected that after receiving the photos, Zhou Cheng, instead of causing trouble for Fang Yu, had come straight to her, called her a slut, and forcefully took her body that night!
Ding Ran had thought about suicide at the time, but later couldn’t bear the fear of death and gave up the idea.
With no other choice, she could only marry into the Zhou family and resign from her counselor position.
During the month since marrying into the Zhou family, Ding Ran had been full of resentment, and her hatred for Fang Yu had gradually increased.
Now she had completely become Zhou Cheng’s possession! She had no status in the Zhou family, and everyone could step on her!
All of this was caused by Fang Yu!
If Fang Yu had been willing to help her back then, she wouldn’t have fallen to such a state!
What angered Ding Ran most was that with Fang Yu’s strength, dealing with someone like Zhou Cheng would have been effortless.
But Fang Yu just wouldn’t help her! He had ruined her entire life!
Ding Ran stared at Fang Yu, her eyes slowly turning bloodshot, with only poison in her gaze.
Seeing Yu Yueyue talking with Fang Yu, a vicious smile appeared on her alluring face.
“You ruined my life, so I’ll repay you tenfold!”
…
Fang Yu noticed Ding Ran’s gaze.
He looked up at Ding Ran once, and she immediately turned away.
“Ding Ran?” Fang Yu frowned slightly.
He hadn’t expected to encounter Ding Ran here.
However, he had no intention of greeting her.
This woman gave him a very bad feeling.
Fang Yu turned and walked to the deck, looking at the ocean view.
It was already 8 PM, and the sea was calm without any waves.
Fang Yu gazed at Nine Dragon Island in the distance, slightly narrowing his eyes.
…
On the top floor of the cruise ship, there were many rooms provided for the most distinguished guests to rest.
Ding Ran walked into one of the rooms, where a man was sitting on the sofa with a wine glass on the table.
It was Zhou Cheng.
Upon seeing Zhou Cheng, disgust flashed in Ding Ran’s eyes.
Besides Fang Yu, she hated Zhou Cheng the most.
“Zhou Cheng, I want to discuss something with you,” Ding Ran walked straight to Zhou Cheng and said.
Zhou Cheng was looking down at his phone, and upon hearing this, he looked up and smiled, “Baby, you’re here, I was just looking for you.”
As he spoke, Zhou Cheng stood up and hugged Ding Ran’s slim waist, his hand moving toward her back.
Disgust flashed in Ding Ran’s eyes, but her body didn’t resist.
“Don’t rush, I have something to discuss with you,” Ding Ran said.
