FWTS Chapter 059 Stirring Trouble After Drinking

"Ah? Oh!"

MC Brother Qiang, lying on the ground, was stunned for several seconds before loosening his grip on the guy held under his armpit. With the help of Hou Muyun, he stood up, grinning and muttering, "Kid, daring to challenge Brother Qiang, Brother Qiang could teach you a lesson with just his armpit! If it weren't for drinking a bit too much today, one of us could have taken down your whole group!"

Then, Brother Qiang noticed something odd.

"What's up with Monkey?" Brother Qiang nudged Hou Muyun with his elbow. "How come everyone looks like they've lost their spirit, hanging their hands limply and wailing like that? Did you do this?"

Brother Qiang had been focused on restraining the guy, so he didn't get a clear view of Hou Muyun's swift actions just now.

Hou Muyun nodded and brushed off the dust from Brother Qiang's body. "Are you alright?"

Brother Qiang grinned. "Being roughed up a bit by these brats is nothing."

Hou Muyun was speechless. "You're like a cabbage!"

"Don't ruin the mood. Can't I enjoy acting tough?" With that, Brother Qiang rubbed several places on his body vigorously. "It hurts like hell, those bastards were really vicious!"

Hou Muyun couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Then, he glanced at the people still wailing in pain and noticed some others gathering around. After a moment's thought, he walked over to them with a stern face.

"You! Don't come any closer!"

"What do you want?"

Seeing Hou Muyun approaching, the people, who were already pale from pain, retreated even further, losing their earlier bravado.

It wasn't that these people were naturally timid, but Hou Muyun's earlier moves were too terrifying. If it were just one person dislocated or sprained, it would be one thing, but every single one of them experienced it!

How could they not be afraid?

It was too frightening, too bizarre!

"Stay still!"

Hou Muyun's voice was low.

Two of them were so scared they almost froze in place.

Hou Muyun went up to them, grabbed their dislocated arms, twisted them back into place, and asked, "Feeling better?"

Both of them nodded vigorously.

The others watched in silence.

Click, click.

Hou Muyun dislocated their arms again, then reset them, asking again, "Feeling better?"

This time, both of them nodded vigorously without hesitation.

The rest of the group dared not move.

In no time, Hou Muyun had fixed all of their injuries.

He couldn't just leave them unattended, after all; he was somewhat of a public figure now.

Hou Muyun waved his hand. "Get lost!"

These people didn't dare to stay any longer. They scattered like smoke. Being dislocated or sprained by Hou Muyun had already made them see him as a monster, and now, they found him even more terrifying.

Damn, like dismantling parts, dislocate and reset!

One ran faster than the other. However, some were too proud to leave without saving face, so after running a distance, they shouted a few threats like "Wait for it" or "I'll kill you," which easily became a laughingstock.

Onlookers, including two girls who had been blocked, Feifei, and the crowd that had gathered to watch, were all dumbfounded.

Who is this guy, a bone-setting expert?!

The two girls who had been blocked, especially the one without a mask, had quite a vivid expression on her face, while the one with a mask couldn't be seen.

The two of them took a few steps forward. "Thank you!"

Hou Muyun waved his hand. "No need for thanks. Next time you encounter such a situation, try to go where there are more people. You kept moving towards the corner, practically offering them a chance to commit a crime, didn't you? If Brother Qiang hadn't seen it..."

Hou Muyun paused and turned to look at Brother Qiang. "Hey, weren't you supposed to be going to the restroom in the shop? How come you're here..."

Brother Qiang chuckled. "It was urgent, really urgent. I'll pay attention next time and make sure to be a good comrade who doesn't... you know."

"Just kidding, just kidding," he added hastily.

Brother Qiang's tone shifted as he earnestly spoke to the two girls, "Just now, my brother mentioned, don't walk into dark corners. Let me add something, too. You should shout for help or at least try to scare those bastards off. Being silent will only get you into trouble! Of course, it's a bit of a macho thought, but it's best not to come out so late, or at least have a man accompany you. You're lucky to have met us righteous and powerful gentlemen tonight. Next time, you should be more cautious. Alright, there are taxis here, two of them. We won't take them, so hurry back."

With that, he swaggered towards the taxis, looking quite dashing, though the footprints left behind somewhat spoiled the scene.

Hou Muyun couldn't help but laugh and cry once again as he followed suit.

The two girls left behind exchanged looks.

"What's with all this sudden preaching?" The pretty girl sighed. "What's wrong with going into a corner? If I don't go into a corner, do you expect me to beat up those guys in front of so many people and end up making headlines in the news tomorrow? It's not often that you come back swinging your tail so many times just to have a late-night snack here! Also, what do you mean by not coming out at this hour? It's not like... They're the ones at fault, dragging their two internet-famous faces out in the middle of the night."

The girl with the mask nodded. "He's an interesting guy."

"But come to think of it, that guy's moves just now were pretty good. I almost wanted to go up and spar with him. I feel like he could last at least ten seconds against me," the pretty girl mused. "Lora, if he had taken off his mask just now, what expression do you think he would have had?"

Lora shrugged. "I wanted to thank him by taking off my mask, but then... no chance."

"Alright, let's go. If we stay any longer, you might get recognized," the pretty girl said, leading the way.

...

"Monkey, you were so awesome just now!"

Brother Qiang, sitting in the front passenger seat of the taxi, gestured with his thumbs up to Hou Muyun, who was sandwiched between him and Feifei in the backseat. "What was that sequence of moves just now? Monkey, do you still know martial arts?"

"Yeah! Monkey bro, you were so cool just now!"

"Wow, Monkey bro, you know martial arts too! Amazing!"

Feifei and her friend had witnessed the whole process and, originally trying to please, now genuinely admired Hou Muyun from the bottom of their hearts. Especially Feifei, who seemed to enjoy the thrilling scene just now, had become Hou Muyun's little fan. She had already taken out her phone and recorded everything, almost ready to go live. Now sitting so close to Hou Muyun, she was practically clinging to him.

"What martial arts? I was just mischievous when I was young, always falling and hurting myself. There was an old doctor in the village who, after treating me so many times, taught me a few bone-setting techniques. I often used them on myself and occasionally on others in reverse. By the way, let's not mention what happened just now to others. Even though we won, it's still considered fighting, and it's not good for our image."

After explaining briefly, Hou Muyun soon arrived at the KTV booked for the night. Fortunately, the journey wasn't long; otherwise, Hou Muyun really feared that Feifei would stick to him like glue.

It was almost 5 o'clock when the KTV session ended. Hou Muyun went to the hotel where Brother Qiang and the others were staying, booked a room, and slept for a while. To avoid the awkwardness of returning to the hotel arranged by the organizer with Feifei and the others, it wasn't that Hou Muyun disliked Feifei or anything, but some things were just inappropriate to arrange. 

When Hou Muyun woke up around noon, he initially wanted to have lunch with Brother Qiang and the others. However, they had only just fallen asleep in the early hours, so there was no guarantee they would be awake at this hour. He decided to return to the hotel arranged by the organizer and wait for Brother Qiang and the others to wake up before having a meal together and returning to Rui City.

However, before he could make much progress on his writing, a phone call came in from Song Jia's senior disciple.

"Brother Song, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Brother, you and Strongman got into a fight after drinking last night, no, early this morning?"

Hou Muyun was taken aback. "We did get into a fight, but we didn't cause any trouble."

Brother Song wailed, "I can't believe this!"

Hou Muyun was a little confused. "What's going on?"

"You better log onto QQ first."

Hou Muyun logged onto QQ, and Brother Song quickly sent him several screenshots and links, which he looked through one by one.

"Famous live streamer, erhu player, bestselling author, and cartoonist Hou Muyun got into a fight after attending the Double Eleven Gala! According to eyewitnesses, Hou Muyun and his friends clashed with others after eating supper with two internet-famous female streamers, suspected jealousy was the cause. Hou Muyun's friends initiated the violence with a very arrogant attitude, and Hou Muyun also joined in the brawl, showing extreme brutality!"

This was a Weibo post from a marketing account, accompanied by a video.

The video was short, starting from "Strongman slapping someone hard" to "Hou Muyun dislocating someone's arm". There was no context, no final scene, but it clearly showed Hou Muyun participating in the fight!

All the scenes of the brawl before Hou Muyun used the "bone-setting skill card" were there, and the fierce and ruthless scuffles were all very clear!
