Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!

Zhong Tian woke up, her eyes bloodshot and clearly showing signs of sleepiness. She rubbed her eyes and saw Le Xingxi hurriedly hiding a piece of clothing. She asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Le Xingxi's eyes showed a hint of panic, but he still calmly said, "It's nothing, I just got my clothes dirty. The dilapidated temple is too filthy."

Zhongtian didn't care; it was a normal thing. She looked down at her clothes, which were also stained.

She stood up and threw a few punches to shake off her sleepiness.

Nakata looked up and saw that it was a beautiful day.

She said to Xingxi, "Xingxi, I won't be back until tonight. We can do whatever we want with the day. What do you suggest we do?"

"What are we doing?" Le Xingxi smiled. "Of course we have to go and earn those so-called wooden sticks, otherwise we'll starve to death outside today."

Despite such dire circumstances, Le Xingxi still had the mood to joke: "As the saying goes, even a hero can be brought down by a penny, but here it's just a wooden stick that's stumped Lady Zhong."

Nakata smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

Now that Zhongtian has no other way to make money, he has no choice but to lead Lexingxi to survive in the wilderness.

Zhongtian led Lexingxi to the river to fish. She whittled a long, sharp wooden stick, waited for the right moment, and plunged it in. Luckily, sometimes there were two or three lively fish on the stick.

She then took Le Xingxi to the mountain to set traps, which was Zhongtian's old specialty, and they caught all the rabbits without any effort.

Zhongtian felt a little sad. These ingredients would be hard to eat if they weren't processed, but Zhongtian couldn't provide any more food for Lexingxi right now!

Le Xingxi, however, was very content and happy. Seeing the water splashing on Zhongtian's face and seeing the rabbit he caught was quite robust and plump, he could be amused and laugh heartily!

Zhongtian knew that Lexingxi's smile was meant to put Zhongtian at ease.

Time flies.

As night fell, it was time for Zhongtian to go home. Zhongtian really didn't want to go back; she was extremely worried about Le Xingxi!

But what would happen if he didn't go back tonight? Nakata didn't know.

But Le Xingxi grasped Zhong Tian's hand: "Zhong Niang, don't worry about going back. I'll take good care of myself!"

Nakata left reluctantly, turning back every few steps.

Upon returning, Zhongtian immediately found Chai Xiao. She gripped Chai Xiao's arm so tightly it hurt, and anxiously asked, "Chai Xiao, you must know more ways to earn wooden tokens, right?"

Chai Xiao looked at Zhong Tian and nodded: "Yes, but it's quite bloody."

"what?"

"Fighting Arena!"

Chai Xiao looked at Zhong Tian: "If you don't want to put in the effort, you'll have to bleed."

"There is a fighting arena here, divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels!"

"In the beginner level, you submit one wooden stick and win one wooden stick. In the beginner level, you submit ten wooden sticks and win ten wooden sticks. In the advanced level, you submit 100 wooden sticks and win 100 wooden sticks!"

Zhong Tian's heart stirred slightly. She asked Chai Xiao, "How many wooden sticks do you have?"

"Five."

Chai Xiao understood Zhong Tian's intention and grabbed her arm: "Don't go, people will die!"

Zhongtian looked at Chai Xiao and said seriously, "If I don't go, someone will die!"

Zhongtian found Xia Lan again. Xia Lan was holding a chicken leg, reluctant to eat it. When she saw Zhongtian coming over, she asked warily, "What are you doing?"

How many skewers do you have left?

"Six!"

"Give it all to me!"

Xia Lan asked somewhat cautiously, "What will happen if I don't give it to you?"

"You'll get beaten up!"

You'll pay me back, won't you?

"meeting!"

What do you need this for?

After Zhongtian explained his intentions, Xia Lan seemed to have made a very big decision and handed the chicken leg she hadn't eaten yet to Zhongtian.

"Here you go!" Xia Lan handed over the chicken leg. "Once you have the strength, you must defeat them. Most importantly, remember to return the wooden skewer you lent me!"

Zhong Tian was somewhat surprised. This chicken leg wasn't particularly valuable, but it was Xia Lan's most prized food at the moment.

Nakata's tone softened considerably: "You eat it yourself! I can take care of those people!"

Chai Xiao brought Zhong Tian to the fighting arena.

Looking over, Nakata saw that the fighting arena was neatly divided into three parts. The beginner's area was the smallest, and the people inside were the most friendly. People coming out could even smile at each other amicably.

The primary field space is now larger.

The fight inside was brutal, with punches landing squarely. Neither of the two who came out were in good shape; some had their faces swollen like pig heads, while others had broken legs or backs.

The VIP area had the most spectators and the most intense fighting; even from the outside, Nakata could hear the women's frantic roars from inside.

When the match ended, someone was carried out. Zhongtian looked over and saw that the woman's face was unrecognizable. She lay there stiffly, already dead.

Nakata walked into the intermediate arena and placed the ten wooden sticks in his hand into the gatekeeper's hand.

The gatekeeper glanced at it casually, accepted the wooden slip, and let Zhongtian in.

Chai Xiao was waiting outside.

The first person to fight Nakata was a rather robust woman. She looked at this unfamiliar woman in the fighting arena with some wariness. This woman was either a reckless young woman who was not afraid of tigers, or a master who was hiding her true strength!

Zhongtian was anxious and didn't say much. He said to the woman in front of him, "Let's finish this quickly, come on!"

At first, Chai Xiao was a little scared, but later she gradually calmed down!

That person was like a giant toy in Nakata's hands, and Nakata defeated her with ease.

Fifteen minutes later, Nakata came out, looking at the 21 wooden sticks in his hand, quite dissatisfied, as it was too few!

"Chai Xiao, how many people can you challenge in one night?"

Chai Xiao looked at her, his tone somewhat peculiar: "As long as you don't fall, you can keep fighting."

Nakata smiled and said, "That's good!"

Pretty good? What's so great about it!

Chai Xiao then understood what was good.

Nakata is like a tireless superman!

She stood there, defeating one challenger after another who came in to challenge her!

The previously nonchalant gatekeeper's eyes widened, and the gazes of those who had only been focused on the high-level arena gradually shifted to Nakata.

Ten people! Chai Xiao counted numbly.

"Is anyone else coming?" Nakata asked.

Some people were watching and some were hesitating. After a quarter of an hour, no one was willing to fight.

Zhongtian came out, drenched in sweat and her steps were unsteady; this was a series of attacks.

The people who started out were hoping for a quick victory, but Nakata dealt with them very quickly.

But the people behind her realized that Nakata was running out of energy, so they slowly wore her down.

She persisted in the fighting arena for more than two hours, but thankfully, she won!

Zhongtian held the 101 wooden skewers in his hand with some satisfaction. These skewers were enough for Le Xingxi to have a few good meals and a few good nights' sleep!

Now she's going to find Le Xingxi!
