A sleepless night passed. Until the sky began to brighten, Belron still had no intention of sleeping. He glanced at his wristband; it was time for him to head to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for the dumpling filling.
When Belron stepped into the kitchen, his daughter Li Girl was already busy inside, and upon seeing her father enter, she smiled brightly and said, "Father, it's still early. You should go get some sleep; I can handle this by myself."
Li Girl was unaware that her father had not slept a wink the previous night. At that moment, Mother Li also came downstairs to help out, and the three of them busily sorted vegetables, chopped fillings, and kneaded dough.
Kairuot knocked on the door early in the morning and came over to help out as well.
Seeing Kairuot, Mother Li was delighted and quietly asked her daughter, "When are you two going to have your wedding?"
"Mom..." Li Girl sighed in exasperation. "Could you please not bring this up?"
Xiao Li's Mother said, "You're not getting any younger; you should start thinking about your lifelong matters."
At this point, Kairuot had already finished kneading the dumpling dough and sat beside Lily helping with the vegetables.
Seeing Kairuot join in, Xiao Li's Mother happily asked, "Do you like our little Lily?"
Her question was quite abrupt but still an old topic; Kairuot could only nod helplessly.
"Since you like her, let's pick a good day and arrange your wedding."
Upon hearing about the wedding arrangements, Kairuot quickly waved his hands. "Aunt... we've talked about this several times already; I see Li Girl as a sister."
"Since you don't want to marry my daughter, we won't force you," Xiao Li's Father said after hearing Kairuot's words. "I've already discussed with Belzun Old Man about setting up an Arena in Central Square for my daughter’s martial arts contest to find a suitor."
"Father, you didn't even consult me about such a big matter," Li Girl pouted in reproach.
Belron replied, "Every time I discuss it with you, you refuse. This time Father has made the decision; it's already settled."
Just then, Belden stepped into the kitchen and overheard their conversation. He asked, "What have you all decided?"
Li Girl told her, "My Father set up the Arena for me to compete for marriage."
Belden clapped and praised, "What a great idea!"
Li Girl frowned and asked, "What if I lose the match and have to marry someone I don't want to?"
"That would be fate."
Li Girl pouted and said, "I don't care about fate; I only like Kairuot brother."
Little Li's mother sighed and shook her head, saying, "You’ve embarrassed us again; my daughter speaks without a filter."
Kairuot immediately comforted her, "Since the elders have arranged everything, I believe Little Li will find her good match in the Arena."
Belron spoke to his daughter for the first time in an undeniable tone, "The Arena is ready today; the competition for marriage starts tomorrow. Niuniu, don’t push yourself; listen to your father this time. Prepare well and compete in the Arena tomorrow."
-
The Arena was set up in the Central Square. It was said that Belle Lily organized the marriage competition, and handsome young men from Penglai Immortal Island were eager to try their luck.
Although Li Girl was born into a famous martial arts family, no one could resist the charm of such a beautiful girl. The Central Square of Penglai Immortal Island quickly gathered thousands of people. Scholars and poets took this opportunity to gather near the square to compose poetry and paint.
Today, Li Girl wore a bright red kung fu outfit. Her usual two long braids were tied into a single thick black braid. She stepped into the center of the Arena, standing out remarkably. She flicked her braid behind her and cupped her fists, addressing the audience below, "Just now, my Great-Great-Grandfather and my father explained to everyone that today's Arena is for my matchmaking. If anyone is brave enough, come up and challenge me. If you win, you will be my dragon-riding husband; if you lose, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Belron hurriedly stepped forward to correct her, saying, "In the Arena, it's all about participation; just touch lightly."
The first to leap onto the Arena was a slender young man with a sharp face. If she had to marry someone like him, she would rather die than do it. After he announced his name, both sides began the match in the Arena.
The young man called Bellxiong had average martial arts skills, but his Lightness Skill was decent. After exchanging a few moves with him, Li Girl felt that the possibility of him defeating her was almost zero. Therefore, Li Girl deliberately wasted time with him; when he threw a punch, she simply pushed him lightly, causing him to stumble. Li Girl did not attack, and they went back and forth for several dozen rounds. The audience below began to lose interest and started murmuring that the fight was staged.
Seeing that she had the upper hand, Li Girl asked him, “Do you want me to knock you down, or will you walk off by yourself?”
Her words angered him. He suddenly leaped into the air and unleashed his signature move, kicking towards her face. Li Girl, seeing this, dodged swiftly while her thick black braid swung towards him. This seemingly casual braid strike carried immense force and knocked him off the Arena.
Taking advantage of her victory, Li Girl clasped her fists and said, “I’m really sorry; I accidentally knocked you down. My apologies.”
As soon as Li Girl finished speaking, a burly man jumped onto the Arena with dual knives in hand and immediately launched a rapid and fierce attack on Lily. This man was large and intimidating; he was not there for a friendly match but to avenge his friend!
The burly man leaped onto the Arena, intending to give Li Girl a taste of his swift blade.
The spectators below were worried for Lily upon seeing the man's fierce knife techniques. However, the man's attacks did not gain any advantage; after several rounds, his quick strikes began to slow down.
“Good knife skills!” Li Girl praised. “Unfortunately, while they are fast, they lack strength and power.”
Just as she finished speaking, the burly man leaped up again with both knives aimed at her. He attacked quickly and fiercely but missed entirely as Li Girl dodged behind him. She then shouted, “Down you go!”
With a heavy palm strike to his back, she sent the burly man crashing down from the Arena.
Li Girl clasped her fists again and said, “My apologies, big brother!”
The burly man felt utterly ashamed and could not bear to watch the subsequent matches with his friends; he left in disgrace.
Li Girl spun around on the Arena, shouting, “Is there anyone else willing to come up for a duel?”
For a long time, no one dared to step onto the stage. Just as Li Girl was feeling proud of herself, a giant leaped onto the Arena.
The two faced each other in the Arena, with Li Girl only reaching the height of the giant's thigh.
Li Girl looked up and said, "State your name."
"Bell Chunsen."
"Are you Bail Chunlin's brother?"
The giant nodded.
"Did you come to compete for marriage?"
Bell Chunsen nodded, then shook his head. He used his Sixth Sense to communicate with her, saying, "It was Belle who asked me to participate in a demonstration match."
Li Girl also used her Sixth Sense to respond, "A demonstration match?"
The giant nodded, and thus their demonstration match began. On the surface, they fought vigorously, but in reality, both were merely putting on a show. They exchanged blows for over a hundred rounds. Although the giant was tall, he did not have the upper hand and was ultimately knocked off the Arena by Li Girl.
From that day on, no one dared to challenge Li Girl again.
Although the Arena remained set up for three more days and many young people came to watch, no one dared to step onto the Arena to participate in the competition for marriage.
Belron's attempt to host a marriage competition in Central Square had failed, which brought an indescribable joy to Li Girl.
