Chapter 86: The Absurd Martial Arts Contest for Marriage
After leaving the dilapidated temple, Liu Yu and his group continued their journey. That day, they arrived at a bustling town.
As soon as they entered the city, they saw a large crowd gathered at the city gate, creating quite a scene. Curious, Liu Yu pulled Xu Xian and the others over to join them.
It turned out that a wealthy family was holding a martial arts contest to choose a husband. Standing on the platform was a burly woman with thick eyebrows and large eyes, holding a spiked club, who loudly proclaimed, "Whoever can defeat me, I will marry!"
Liu Yu glanced at the woman and couldn't help but laugh, "This girl is really fierce."
Xu Xian shook his head and said, "I'm afraid no one would dare to marry me."
Xiaoqing, however, became interested: "I think it looks interesting, brother-in-law, why don't you go up and give it a try?"
Liu Yu quickly waved her hand: "Don't joke around, I don't want to die young."
At this moment, a strong and burly man jumped onto the stage and said confidently, "Young lady, let me have a go at you!"
Without a word, the woman raised her spiked club and started hitting. The burly man was not to be outdone, and the fight between them became fierce and evenly matched.
After several rounds, the big man gradually ran out of energy and was knocked off the stage by the woman with a stick.
Liu Yu, watching from below the stage, clicked her tongue in amazement: "That's incredible!"
Then several other people went up on stage to challenge her, but they were all easily defeated by the woman.
The woman grew impatient: "Isn't there a single true hero among us?"
Xiaoqing nudged Liu Yu again: "Brother-in-law, why don't you go?"
Liu Yu glared at Xiao Qing: "Stop making a fuss."
Just then, a frail-looking scholar walked onto the stage.
Everyone burst into laughter: "This scholar wants to have a martial arts contest? Isn't he just asking for trouble?"
The woman said dismissively, "You scholar, you should go back to your studies."
The scholar, however, calmly replied, "Young lady, don't underestimate me."
As he spoke, the scholar struck a strange pose.
The woman swung her stick at him, but the scholar nimbly dodged it.
Liu Yu said in surprise, "This scholar is quite capable."
After the scholar and the woman had been talking for a while, the scholar suddenly slipped and fell to the ground.
The woman laughed loudly: "Is that all you've got?"
The scholar got up, his face flushed, and ran off the stage.
Liu Yu was enjoying the show when suddenly someone pushed her onto the stage.
He turned around and saw that it was Xiaoqing who was behind it.
The woman looked at Liu Yu and said, "You little brat, you dare to challenge me?"
Liu Yu smiled awkwardly: "Girl, I was pushed up here. I admit defeat."
The woman said, "No, since we've come up here, we have to fight."
Liu Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and face the challenge.
As soon as he approached the woman, he was so intimidated by her imposing presence that he retreated repeatedly.
The woman swung a stick at Liu Yu, who closed her eyes in fright.
After waiting for a while, I didn't feel any pain. When I opened my eyes, I saw that Bai Suzhen had used magic to block the stick.
The woman exclaimed in surprise, "There are helpers too?"
Bai Suzhen said, "Girl, don't make things difficult for him. We're just passing by."
The woman said, "That won't do. Now that we're on stage, we have to decide who wins."
At this point, the audience below the stage began to chant, "Hit him! Hit him!"
Helpless, Liu Yu could only make a few random gestures.
The woman burst into laughter, amused by his words: "You call this martial arts?"
Liu Yu said, "Girl, please spare me."
The woman thought for a moment and said, "Alright, since you're so interesting, I'll let you off this time."
Liu Yu quickly thanked him and jumped off the stage.
They were about to leave when they were stopped by the patriarch of the house.
The master said, "Since you're here, come in and have a cup of tea."
Liu Yu and the others couldn't refuse, so they had no choice but to go along.
Upon arriving at the mansion, the master had a sumptuous feast prepared.
As Liu Yu ate, she said, "Sir, your daughter is really amazing."
The old man sighed, "Alas, it's because she's too amazing that she can't get married."
Liu Yu said, "There will always be the right person."
Just then, the woman walked in.
The woman looked at Liu Yu and said, "You rascal, although your martial arts skills are not good, you are still quite interesting."
Liu Yu smiled sheepishly.
After finishing their meal, Liu Yu and the others prepared to say goodbye.
The woman suddenly said, "Wait, I've decided to marry you."
Liu Yu was so startled that she spat out the tea in her mouth: "Girl, don't joke around."
The woman said, "I'm not joking, I just find you pleasing to the eye."
Liu Yu quickly said, "Miss, I am not good enough for you. You should find another suitable man."
The woman said, "If you don't agree, don't even think about leaving this room."
Liu Yu was now extremely worried...
