“Yep.”

“Are you mad to join that kind of competition?” Her bestie quickly grabbed hold of her.

“I know that the prize money for this season is especially high, with half a million yuan at stake.” She had wanted to enter the competition the moment she heard the amount of prize money. Now that her hubby was not around as well, all the more she should not give up this chance.

“With this kind of money, I’m sure it must be a ruthless opponent you’ll be up against! You may lose your life!”

“It won’t be as bad as you think. As you know, I used to work there.” She took out her makeup kit and started to apply makeup on her face.

“It’s still very dangerous, regardless! Now that you have won against your stepmother and your granny is out of danger, what are you still striving so hard for?!”

“School is about to start soon and I’ve decided to take on two majors. Besides, I also plan to complete my studies sooner. This means that I’ll have less time for side hustles soon. I can’t miss this opportunity to earn big bucks.” She knew that if she wanted to shake herself loose from a tough livelihood like the one she had now, she would need to make a name in the medical profession. This was the life she had envisioned for herself; as such, her studies could not afford to take a backseat at all.

Hence, she would risk her life for this money despite the grave dangers.

“Xiao Huan…” Her bestie knew very well the reason that drove her hard, but still, she was very reluctant to see her enter the fight.

Patting her shoulder, Mu Huan reassured her friend. “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself. I still love my body, so I wouldn’t have joined if I didn’t have the confidence.”

Li Meng knew very well that her words would fall on deaf ears, so she could only caution one more time, “Once you see that you’re losing, you must run or admit defeat immediately, alright? You mustn’t fight a losing battle!”

“Understood,” she replied, smiling.

When the night fell, the boxing ring was surrounded by shouting crowds, rowdy and passionate!

For contingency’s sake, Li Meng decided to get Wu Xingye to go along to watch the match. At least there would be an additional pair of helping hands if a mishap were to happen.

“You should have stopped her, or threatened to take your life if she were to insist on going. How could you allow this to happen?!” The boy had gotten wind of the news that the reigning champion this time around was a formidable chap.

Rolling her eyes at him, she explained her thoughts in great length. “I know that girl well. If I had blackmailed her, she would have just knocked me out cold and then come to the match on her own. So I chose to agree with her and got you to come with me. At least if something were to go wrong, the two of us could join in on the fight too. This is a better plan.”

“…”

Alright, she had a point!

At this point, it was their friend’s turn to go up on the stage. The two of them immediately shifted their attention to her.

There were not many rules in the matches here. Anyone could enter the match, and the person who could defeat the three boxing kings on stage would go away with half a million yuan!

The reason that the prize money was higher than usual for this match was that the last reigning champion was a well-known boxer. Their friend could easily overcome the first two boxers, but the last would be especially risky for her. Mu Huan had watched him fight when she arrived, and she came to the same conclusion as her friends as well.

When she entered the ring, she was instantly boo-ed by the crowd.

“It’s a woman! How can it be a woman this time?!”

“Tsk tsk, how did the girl find the nerve to come? Is she courting her death?”

“Girl, get off the stage now or you’ll suffer terrible consequences!”

“Woman, are you courting your death?!”

“You can die wherever you want to, so why did you choose here to die, of all places?!”

Although the rules here allowed anyone to enter the match, there had never been a girl who dared to take on this challenge, and especially not someone who looked feeble and frail like she did.

Hence, in order to appear tougher than she looked, she had gelled up her hair and applied cosmetics to make her look dark and fierce. With that same makeup, she added a few scars on her face.
