The battle ring was quite a scene to behold. People were on all fours, worshiping Feng Tianlan as their grand aunt, as per their bets. Some belly-crawled around the ring, chewing the canvas. Others stripped down to their undies, covered their faces with cloth, then ran around naked.
People who weren't afraid of Luo Yunzhu's threat left with contempt. Those who were slightly under the hoax pretended to comply half-heartedly and moved on within minutes. Slowly, people started to disperse, and the event became an after-meal joke for all.
When most people were far from the battle ring, Luo Yunzhu heaved a great sigh of relief as she pounded her panging chest, panting, "That scared the hell out of me. I almost gave it away. I don't even know if I scared them."
