Chapter 111 I Want to Have a Match with You!
The size difference between Wu Kui and Ye Lanhua was too obvious. After being commented on by others, Wu Kui felt that he had definitely won.
However, beating a skinny woman would be a bit embarrassing, and most importantly, it would give the constables the impression that he was bullying people.
After Wu Kui stepped onto the stage, he immediately put on airs and said, "A good man doesn't fight with a woman, and I don't bully women. You might as well admit defeat when you come on stage!"
Compared to Wu Kui's confident and nonchalant demeanor, Ye Lanhua was much calmer.
She drew a kitchen knife from her waist and asked Liu Yan, "Can I use a kitchen knife?"
Liu Yan touched his nose. He'd forgotten to write down that weapons weren't allowed in the rules!
"Ask Wu Kui. To be fair, if you're going to use weapons, then the two of you should use them together. If you're not going to use them, then neither of you should!"
Ye Lanhua looked at Wu Kui.
Wu Kui has become arrogant and no longer respects Ye Lanhua.
"I'm strong and tall, it's already bullying you to compare myself to you. If you use a knife, I won't!" He thought to himself that even if Ye Lanhua was holding a kitchen knife, she was still a willow branch that would break with a kick.
If he hits Ye Lanhua, the constables won't say anything to him.
Liu Yan glanced at Ye Lanhua, and seeing that she didn't speak, she raised her voice and said, "Alright, everyone heard what you said, and they can all testify!"
The onlookers laughed and jeered, "We all saw it!"
"Alright, let the competition begin!"
Liu Yanhui piled up the reward money into a mountain of silver and set it aside, making those who didn't sign up envious!
At first, Wu Kui stood with his hands behind his back, looking smug, thinking that if Ye Lanhua dared to rush up, he could kick her away with one kick.
Who would have thought that Ye Lanhua would actually dare to chop it up!
Startled, he yelled and pulled his leg back. Ye Lanhua looked thin and frail, but who would have thought she'd be so ruthless when it came to killing? She didn't give Wu Kui a moment to catch his breath, chasing after him and hacking away!
Wu Kui was frightened by this reckless momentum. In his confusion, he stepped on his right foot with his left and sat down on the deck with a thud.
Just as the cleaver was about to chop down on his neck, Wu Kui's face turned deathly pale, the ground was soaked, and he had wet himself in fear!
"You lost!" Ye Lanhua held a kitchen knife to Wu Kui's neck, still looking like a willow branch about to snap in the wind, but no one dared to underestimate her anymore!
"Great!" Shen Lanxi cheered on the spot!
The onlookers were completely silent, as if they had been silenced!
Shen Lanxi: "Here's a stack of candied peanuts for you!"
Don’t underestimate a stack of candied peanuts. We’re at sea now, and supplies are limited. All the candy is reserved for Shen Lanxi. Unless she gives it to you, no one else can get a single candy!
To put it bluntly, gold and silver are no longer rare on the ship; what's rare is candy. Scarcity drives up value, and if anyone were to try and buy candy from Granny Wang now, she wouldn't sell it to them even for gold!
Liu Yanhui announced loudly: "Wu Kui lost and gets two taels of silver. Ye Lanhua won and gets four taels of silver, plus a stack of candied peanuts!"
Ye Lanhua put away the kitchen knife, held the lucky charm, and happily went downstairs.
There were fifty or sixty candied peanuts on the plate, enough for each person on the boat to get one, and there might even be some left over.
Wu Kui went downstairs with his head down and two taels of silver in his pocket. It was the first time he had ever felt so ashamed to take money!
"In the second scene, the prisoner Wu Sheng faces off against the constable Song Liu."
The outcome was straightforward; Song Liu easily defeated Wu Sheng and obtained the silver.
He stared longingly at Shen Lanxi, hoping to get some snacks in return, but unfortunately, everyone else went up on stage before Shen Lanxi could speak. He could only dejectedly pocket his money and leave.
"The third match..."
...
"Scene 18, Shen Yuanjing versus the constable Li Ping!"
Finally, a member of the Shen family came on stage. Shen Lanxi took a piece of red bean cake and ate it slowly!
These days of martial arts practice have allowed Shen Yuanjing's body to grow and mature like a pine sapling, exuding vigorous spirit in every movement. He has transformed from a frail scholar into a martial arts enthusiast!
The constables knew some martial arts, but they were no match for Shen Yuanjing.
Shen Yuanjing also noticed this, glanced at Wei Dongzhu with a grateful look, and then focused on the martial arts competition!
After twenty moves, the constable voluntarily admitted defeat.
"I truly regret not training martial arts with you all!" the constable lamented.
At first, he just looked down on it, but later he was afraid that people would say he practiced martial arts just to get free pastries, and he would lose face.
He was defeated by a young man who had only trained for a few days; it was entirely his own fault!
He willingly admitted defeat!
Shen Yuanjing thought they would have to fight for a while longer, but even if they did, he wasn't sure how long the constables had been training and he had been training for just as long.
I didn't expect we'd win like this?
"I won!" Shen Yuanjing cheered happily!
Liu Yan smiled and stuffed the prize into his hand: "Go downstairs and wait for the second round. Don't waste time, there are still many people downstairs."
Shen Yuanjing quickly nodded, grabbed the silver, and ran off the field, immediately handing it to Wei Dongzhu.
"Master Hu, here's the silver. If you hadn't taught me, I definitely wouldn't have been able to win!" Shen Yuanjing sincerely offered the silver.
Wei Dongzhu looked at the person sitting calmly in the armchair not far away and said in a low, serious voice, "You should really thank someone other than me!"
Shen Yuanjing followed his gaze and nodded firmly, but still divided the silver in half.
"I'll give you half and my older brother the other half. Master Hu, this is the first prize I've ever won. I owe everything I have today to you and my older brother."
After hearing his words, Wei Dongzhu smiled and took the silver.
"Okay, I'll take it!"
Shen Yuanjing thought he would have to say a few more words, but he didn't expect Master Hu to accept it so easily. He turned around and smiled as he handed the silver to Shen Lanxi.
"Big brother, I want to give you the prize I won the first time!"
Shen Lanxi accepted it with a smile.
Shen Yuanjing was surprised again. His older sister just accepted his money like that? Didn't she always refuse to accept it before, saying she would keep it for him?
The older brother is just as difficult to understand as Master Hu. No, the older sister is even more difficult to understand than Master Hu!

"Round 28, Hu Zhu versus prisoner Wang San!"
Hu Zhu won in one move and looked at Shen Lanxi with a provocative gaze!
That look in his eyes was a challenge to her!
Shen Lanxi nodded and accepted!
Before we knew it, the second round, the third round... the final round was over!
Apart from Wei Dongzhu, who came in first, the other four were all constables, including Liu Laohu, who came in second!
Touching his aching chest, Liu Laohu picked out some treasures while cursing under his breath.
He knew Hu Zhu was a formidable kid, but he never expected him to be even more powerful than he imagined. Damn it, is it easy for him to earn a little reward money?
As soon as Liu Yanhui announced the rankings, Wei Dongzhu began to make demands!
He looked at Shen Lanxi and said, "I want to have a match with you!"
Shen Lanxi stood up.
"Bring me a wooden stick!" Her gaze, sharp as an eagle's, was fixed on Wei Dongzhu.
Who is stronger and who is weaker will be determined in a single battle!
