Chapter 362 The Woman Wins
Who does she like?
It was Chen Zhaozhi, who had furry ears and played with her when they were young, hiding from other children.
It was Chen Zhaozhi, who was in his youth and had just begun to fall in love. He was so naive that he would blush even if someone touched his hand.
When he grew up, he pursued fame and fortune and traveled around the court, but he would still secretly look at her Shen Zhaozhi at various banquets and tea parties.
It was only after he lost everything that he realized the prodigal son's return, becoming anxious and hesitant, but he just didn't want to leave her Shen Zhaozhi...
No matter what others think, as long as she likes it!
What's wrong with the pustules? The pustules don't say a word when being beaten. Can your husband do that?
What's wrong with being timid? He dares not say anything she says, and she breaks his legs if he wants to take a concubine. But he still knows to stand up and protect her at the critical moment. Can your husband do that?
——Xia Wanqing suddenly raised her head and pulled off the hood covering her head.
Her long hair and face were clearly exposed to everyone's sight.
It was then that everyone discovered that the person who had been duelling with the city lords of all generations was not the thin man they thought, but a woman!
How could there be a woman with such superb martial arts skills?! And also with a spear?!
Can a woman be so strong?
Everyone was whispering, looking at her with some surprise, some with disgust.
But Xia Wanqing has figured it out. Her life is her own. What she likes and what she wants to do is up to her own heart. Why bother about what others think?
She had a cold expression, and her eyes were filled with determination to win as she looked at her opponent.
Her opponent was nearly frightened to death.
"Women, there are women!" the opponent shouted, "How can you let women compete?"
The servants hurriedly looked up the duel rules and found that there was no provision that only men could participate.
They looked at the dragon, but it didn't react.
In fact, from the beginning of the duel until now, it hadn't reacted at all, just lying there quietly. If it weren't for its two lantern-sized dragon eyes, I would have thought it had fallen asleep again.
Since the dragon didn't give any orders, the servants could only follow the rules and allow Xia Wanqing to continue the competition on the field.
At the beginning, both sides no longer had the same momentum as before.
Before, Xia Wanqing was holding her breath and wanted to get out, but now she has thrown everything aside and is working hard with unstoppable momentum!
As for the opponent, they had previously thought they were capable of fighting, but after being shocked by her identity, they began to panic and reveal flaws everywhere.
After a few moves, Xia Wanqing knocked down his long sword and put the tip of the spear against his neck.
"The woman won," she said.
——The whole audience suddenly fell silent.
Everyone was watching the excitement with great interest, but when they saw the result, they were all dumbfounded.
Although it is exciting to see the city lord being beaten, if a woman wins, doesn't that mean a woman will be their city lord?
Even more stupid than them were the servants in charge of the celebration. They had never seen such a scene before.
When they were fighting just now, they were all praying that the previous city lord would win to avoid this situation, but they didn't expect it to happen anyway!
Someone suddenly had an idea and shouted, "Are you from Blackwater City? If you are an outsider, you are not eligible to receive the reward from the Dragon King!"
Xia Wanqing looked in the direction of the voice and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Did you say that, or did the Dragon King say that?"
The man was stunned. This was certainly not what the Dragon King said. The Dragon King would never care about such trivial matters.
But this celebration has been held year after year, and every year only people from Blackwater City participate, so there are no outsiders.
Where is the outside...
No, there are no outsiders in this world.
There is only their Blackwater City in the world. Their ancestors have lived here for generations, and no outsider has ever come here.
Yes, in this world... there is only Blackwater City.
At this time, the dragon slowly raised its body again.
"Come here, mortal." It stared at Xia Wanqing with its eyes and made a rumbling sound again.
Xia Wanqing gripped the spear tightly and slowly walked towards the dragon.
Xu Chuchu suddenly became nervous. Xiao Yu patted her shoulder soothingly and told her to wait and see what happened.
"From now on, I will no longer protect this city." The dragon said again.
Its expression was indifferent, but all the residents of Blackwater City were terrified!
"Master Dragon King, please don't abandon us!"
"Have we done something wrong? Please tell us and we will correct it!"
"Who will protect us when you leave? Who will give us water and food?"
The crowd was in a panic, and soon someone took the lead in kowtowing.
But the dragon remained calm: "Today, I will grant the victorious warrior a portion of my power. From now on, she will lead you in your life."
This calmed the crowd down a bit, but they were still uneasy.
Their belief in the Black Dragon is ingrained in their bones; the Black Dragon is the god who gives them everything.
Is it really okay to replace it with a complete stranger?
...But Xu Chuchu and his friends are even more clever than them.
What's going on? Is the dragon going to share its power with Xia Wanqing?
The giant dragon opened its mouth and slowly spit out a small elixir.
Although this elixir is not as powerful and pure as the one Xiao Yu and Xu Chuchu got from the Red Dragon Queen, it is also extremely rare.
The whole body of a dragon is a treasure. Even a small part of a dragon pill is a rare treasure for an ordinary fortune teller.
If Xia Wanqing swallowed this elixir now, she might not be able to fully absorb it for a while, but her cultivation level would be enough to completely crush her husband, Chen Zhaozhi.
The question is, can this elixir be swallowed? Is it really sensible to make a deal with a dragon?
Without waiting for everyone to sort out these questions, Xia Wanqing swallowed the elixir in one gulp.
Everyone: “…”
"She won't really be the city lord here in the future, right?" Xu Chuchu held his forehead.
"Or worse, until Blackwater City turns into sand." Xiao Yu added bluntly.
"Say something nice!" Xu Chuchu yelled at him, and Wuwu in her arms also protested.
At this moment, the environment around everyone suddenly shook again, and the crowd and the dragons rushed back and forth as if the fast-forward button was pressed. Just looking at it made people feel dizzy.
Only they were still standing there.
Looking at Xia Wanqing again, she was not affected like them, standing there in a daze.
They immediately gathered together and hid in a corner, but the surrounding environment quickly returned to reality, as if everything just now was just an illusion in their dizziness.
...No, that's not right.
Everyone looked around.
This is still the duel arena from before. The last battle has just ended, but the winner is not Xia Wanqing, but her opponent, the previous city lord!
Looking at the opponent he defeated, it was not Xia Wanqing, but another ordinary warrior.
"Come here, mortal. From now on, I will no longer guard this city." The dragon said the same words as before.
Then he gave a small dragon pill to the city lord.
The city lord took it immediately with an expression of ecstasy, obviously noticing changes in his body.
"I understand." Xiao Yu suddenly said, "This is what happened in this city back then."
