Chapter Seventeen: The Nun Goes Crazy

  What! October 18th!

  The faces of the young princes turned into liver color, staring blankly at Chu Hao who was speaking loudly, and for a moment they were collectively stunned, not knowing how to respond!

  This little prince who knows no bounds is really too imaginative!

  So many princes and nobles ran onto the stage to sing with a prostitute!!

  What can be tolerated cannot be tolerated!

  Provocation, too provocative, this is simply an insult to their identity!

  Chu Hao, however, didn't have the slightest sense of being the one who had caused public outrage. He smiled lightly and swept his gaze over the crowd with a hint of disdain, finally fixing his eyes on the young prince and said with a smile: "Younger brother, what do you think of older brother's proposal?"

  The young prince seemed calm and collected, looking at Chu Hao and saying: "From what I understand from the Emperor's words, this duel is a must-win for you?"

  "Of course not!" Chu Hao said with a straight face: "Since ancient times, winning and losing have never been absolute, it's all about 5-5, 5-5." He then changed his tone, "Oh no, it should be 4-6, I'm 4, you're 6. Haha. What? Younger brother has been planning for a long time, could it be that he's afraid of losing and doesn't dare to agree to older brother's small proposal?"

  The young prince stared at Chu Hao, seemingly wanting to discern something from his face and expression, but unfortunately, Chu Hao had long since forged an iron mask in his previous life, impervious to knives and guns, water and fire. As a result, even the young prince, a master of intrigue, found it difficult to detect any clues.

  He thought for a moment, then ignoring the raised eyebrows and whispers of the nobles around him, suddenly said: "Alright, sharing the stage with a beauty is also a wonderful story that will be passed down for thousands of years. This prince cannot refuse the emperor's wishes either. Since the emperor is eager to have Yuemengchi Xianzi sing on stage together, then this prince agrees!"

  "In that case, I must thank you for your kindness, Imperial Brother!" Chu Hao smiled very innocently and harmlessly.

  Two people, one word each, neither willing to back down, but the outcome was decided just like that.

  At this point, this cricket fight is no longer just about the face of a group of young masters, but also about the reputation of each family! Once lost, at the Lantern Festival, they will be forced to sing "Eighteen Touches" on stage in front of everyone. If the news gets out and they are not beaten to death by their elders at home, it would be a great blessing for them!

  It's just that, apart from the young prince being calm and collected, all the other princes were worried and tense, staring at the table, including the princes on Chu Hao's side. You know, they're all from military families, and when their parents take action, it's not something to be taken lightly, and even if someone gets killed, no one can be blamed!

  Sun Haoran nudged Chu Hao and whispered: "I'm asking you, are you okay?"

  "Have you ever seen me fight a battle I'm not confident in?"

  Little did they know, this sentence made Sun Haoran and the others even more tense. They all knew that this young master had always been one who lost more often than he won, and when he said something like this, it was almost certain that the outcome had already been decided.

  However, there is no time to stop them now, as Wu Donghan has taken a step forward and arrived at the table. He glanced lightly at everyone and said: "In order to prevent cheating from happening, except for Young Master Wang and Young Prince, others please retreat three steps away from the table."

  Chu Hao was furious upon hearing this, as Wu Donghan's words clearly implied that the warriors on their side would cheat. But the young prince was still a ninth-level Bone Refining warrior, and if he saw himself about to lose, he might use his internal energy to kill Chu Hao's cricket. How could they have a fair competition then? In Chu Hao's opinion, Wu Donghan should also step back and just direct with his mouth.

  Chu Hao thought with a guilty conscience.

  Everyone else retreated, and Wu Donghan stood by as a witness. Since both parties were big shots in the capital who could make people tremble with just a stomp of their feet, this time it was the high-ranking manager of Juyun Building who presided over the cricket fight. The middle-aged fat man walked forward, looked at Chu Hao, then looked at the young prince, and shouted loudly: "Open the gate, release the insect!"

  "Shaking General" and "Wind Cloud Sword God" descended onto the Doupan, and with that official's single word of "Start", the two insects were about to engage in close combat.

  Only after getting off the Doupan did Chu Hao realize that his "Shaking General" was more majestic than the "Wind and Cloud Sword God". The forehead protruded with a horn, the back was arched, and the scales on the wings shone brightly. The large black-purple pincers were full of energy, worthy of being a fierce insect worth 500 taels of gold! Seeing that the Shaking General had begun to make urgent calls, Chu Hao's confidence greatly increased!

  The young prince sneered, pulled out a hot grass and began to tease him, and the "Wind Cloud Sword God" morale soared, quickly rushing over the midfield, "Dudu" loudly.

  Chu Hao used a provocative move, sweeping the tail of "Shaking General" with a blade of grass. "Shaking General" immediately flapped its wings and let out a long cry, creating an echo in the fighting basin, with a loud and clear sound that was in no way inferior to its opponent.

  The young prince always felt that the "Earth-Shaking General" gave him a somewhat uneasy feeling, to know that the "Wind and Cloud Sword God" was specially brought from the Wu State for this duel, he was cautious in nature, did not immediately attack, let the "Wind and Cloud Sword God" stand there wielding the large pincers, as if dancing with a black-purple colored giant sword, who comes to chop who.

  "Earth-shaking General" momentum is surging, fearless and calm, with a pair of white teeth-like pincers charging forward, striking the face of "Wind Cloud Sword God", then using the pincers to hook and fling, like the worldly "four ounces moving a thousand pounds", instantly sending "Wind Cloud Sword God" flying onto the wall!

  Before "Fengyun Sword God" could turn around, "Zhenshi General" was majestic and powerful, with the general's large knife already cutting across his waist!

  The little prince was shocked and hurriedly drove away. Although the "Wind Cloud Sword God" quickly turned its head and dodged agilely, its left wing was still scratched by the black teeth of the "Shaking General", scraping off a small piece of hard wing!

  In the first round, Little Prince's "Wind Cloud Sword God" was already lightly injured!

  Everyone was shocked, this "Shaking General" is too fierce, too unbelievable. All the people present were connoisseurs, and it was clear that "Wind Cloud Sword God" was a level higher than "Shaking General", but he had been at a disadvantage all along. Compared to before, "Shaking General" was like a completely different person!

  Chu Hao's side suddenly surged with momentum, while the young prince's side was depressed and unbelievable.

  The two insects returned to their positions, with the pincers facing each other. "Fengyun Sword God" had already realized his opponent's ferocity and, having lost a wing, was somewhat intimidated and retreated to a corner, no longer daring to launch a proactive attack. On the other hand, "Zhenshi General" seemed to have gone mad, frequently launching proactive attacks and striking "Fengyun Sword God" into a state of disarray.

  The little prince was secretly worried, today was really unlucky, he urged the hot grass to make "Wind Cloud Sword God" attack quickly. Finally, this generation of fierce insect was thoroughly enraged by the "Shaking General's" eyes without insects, sniffing out an empty gear, and biting down with its big teeth, wanting to pin down its opponent's teeth and swing it around!

  But Chu Hao's "Earth-Shattering General" was really formidable, as if he had eaten something extraordinary. Without regard for his opponent's large teeth, his dark purple teeth opened and closed, and unexpectedly, he bit down on the white teeth of the "Wind Cloud Sword God". Relying on his large head and thick neck, he violently pressed the "Wind Cloud Sword God"'s head into the bottom of the bowl.

  One second, two seconds, three seconds...

  The young prince leaned forward, his eyes fixed intently on the Doupan, his face no longer calm and serene as before. He knew that if "Fengyun Sword God" couldn't shake off the strong pressure from his opponent in time, his teeth would loosen and he wouldn't be able to close his mouth, and then defeat would be inevitable!

  It was Chu Hao who was quite leisurely, with one hand holding the tea handed over by Xiao Si, and the other hand behind his back, looking relaxed and comfortable. His eyes looked at the "Wind Cloud Sword God" in the fighting basin, which had been brutally defeated, and then at the crowd of people from the Imperial Palace, who were all sweating profusely, and he felt extremely pleased!

  This is the joy of fighting insects!

  At last, "Fengyun Sword God" was no match for the crazy attacks of "Zhenshui General", and fell to the ground motionless. No matter how much the young prince provoked him, he did not get up again, without a single bit of fighting spirit.

  At this moment, everyone knew that "Feng Yun Jian Shen" had lost, the young prince had lost, and the young prince's side had also lost!

  The middle-aged steward stared at the Doupan, then looked at Chu Hao with a smile on his face and the little prince with a gloomy complexion, and carefully said: "The 'Wind Cloud Sword God' has lost the will of the Dou insect, please Mr. Wu announce the result."

  Wu Donghan was indeed elegant, his eyes lingering on Chu Hao for a moment before slowly saying: "This round of the competition, it is Young Master Wang's 'Shaking General' that has won!"

  After a sentence, all the people on Chu Hao's side suddenly cheered up and raised their eyebrows. Chu Hao smiled and stood up, letting Xiao Si put away the "Shaking General" in the porcelain pot, before slowly saying: "Imperial brother, oh, and everyone else, don't forget our bet, okay? This time, we won't take your gold and silver, but a month later, Little Wang is really looking forward to your performance!"

  After finishing, Chu Hao ignored the small emperor's iron-green face and walked downstairs with a big laugh. He didn't want to hide anything, this little prince was originally of such an arrogant personality, besides, even if the small emperor was a spoiled brat, he was his enemy, and he didn't need to be lenient or merciful towards his enemies.

  As he walked downstairs, Sun Haoran chased after him, looking at Chu Hao with a strange expression, as if seeing him for the first time. He patted Chu Hao's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, you really are something! I was just thinking earlier that you might have come up with this trick just to be on the same stage as Yao Mengchi, but I didn't expect you to actually win!"

  Chu Hao said: "You guys don't have confidence in me like this?"

  "Of course there is!" Sun Haoran hastily patted his chest, but the expression was full of embarrassment: "Right, the celebratory dinner later, are you going or not?"

  Chu Hao thought for a moment, rather than indulging in food and drink with this group of friends, it's better to solve the problem of refining equipment first, otherwise, being trapped in crisis all the time is not a solution. So he smiled: "Next time, I have something to do today, let's play well during the Flower Lantern Festival, hehe..."

  "Understand, you can't bear to part with the warmth of home, right!" Sun Haoran sneered. He had also participated in Lin Yue'er's matter. Chu Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Am I that kind of unscrupulous person?"

  As he was about to leave, Sun Haoran hurriedly said: "By the way, how did you win today? Your 'Shaking General', I don't remember it being so brave!"

  "It's all thanks to this!" Chu Hao tossed out a bottle and left with his guards.

  Sun Haoran took it over and was immediately stunned, unable to help but give a middle finger to Chu Hao's back.

  The bottle had five words written on it: "Nuns Gone Wild!"
