My Arrogant Young Lady

After blowing for twenty minutes, I quickly attracted the snakes in the area. I fed them eggs, and I thought I'd had a good haul. This time, I attracted a total of over thirty snakes, two of which were venomous. There was also a large snake over a meter long. If I take them to school and hide them, I'll have over fifty snakes. Although there aren't many snakes, it's still a small success.

If I could feed them highly toxic substances and cultivate them into venomous snakes, then I could defeat a martial arts master simply by using a snake formation.

Luring snakes with a whistle is easy, but raising snakes is very troublesome. I stayed with them for two hours, until they were full and had almost digested the eggs, before I blew my jade flute to lure them back to school. I don't have a car, so I had to walk back. When I arrived at school, it was already past 3 pm. Then I took out the remaining eggs and fed them to the snakes, played with them for a while, and then went back to my dormitory.

But when I got back to the dorm, I noticed the atmosphere was different. Huang Gou was back, and not only him. Five of the other six roommates were there too. Seeing me, Huang Gou immediately stood up, and the other five followed suit.

With a serious expression, the yellow dog immediately walked towards me and barked loudly, "Big Brother!"

"Big Brother!!!" The other five members in the dormitory also shouted along with the yellow dog.

"What are you doing?" Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Wang Xi, I never expected you to be such a good fighter. You defeated Wang Chong and his two henchmen in just one move. From now on, I, Huang Gou, will hand over the position of leader of Dorm 218 to you. From now on, you are our big brother. Please lead us and revitalize our Dorm 218!" Huang Gou said to me earnestly.

“Big Brother, we’ve all heard from Yellow Dog that you’re an amazing fighter. Big Brother, we’ll follow you from now on, and we’ll do whatever you say,” the other five brothers said.

"Don't do this, I don't know how to fight." I frowned and sat back on my bed.

“Big brother, you took down Wang Chong and his two henchmen in one move, and you still say you can’t fight? I don’t care who you are, we’ll all acknowledge you as our big brother from now on,” said Huang Gou.

"Brother Gou, it's fate that we live together, and I'm very happy to have met brothers like you. But the way you've treated me really makes me feel bad. Besides, I really can't fight," I said, frowning.

"Oh? You can't fight? Then how come you easily defeated Wang Chong and his two henchmen?" Huang Gou asked me.

"I just splashed a pot of hotpot in their faces, and now they're fighting? Brother Dog, if you use my trick on them, you can easily beat them too," I said.

"This..." After hearing what I said, the yellow dog began to believe me.

"Brother Gou, you don't need to be so polite with me. We're all brothers, isn't it only right that we help each other out? If I ever run into trouble in the future, you guys can help me fight too. Brothers don't distinguish between big and small. You're the oldest in our dorm, so you can continue to be my big brother." As I said this, I couldn't help but laugh at their serious expressions.

"Wang Xi, you're such a good person. It's my good fortune to know a brother like you," Huang Gou said after looking at me for a while.

"Haha. It's a blessing for me to know you all," I said.

The serious atmosphere in the dormitory quickly dissipated. Everyone's expressions relaxed again as they looked at me. Second Brother handed us cigarettes, then lay down on his bed and said, "Eighth Brother, you don't know, Huang Gou just said how awesome you were. He said you were so cool back then, you easily took down Wang Chong, whom we've always hated."

"Oh?" I asked with a smile.

"Eighth Brother, you don't know this. Wang Chong has always been Dog Brother's nemesis. Back when Dog Brother was chasing Lanlan, Wang Chong was incredibly angry with him. But there are eight people in their dorm, and seven in ours, so we were evenly matched, neither of us ever really beat the other. But this year, at the start of the semester, I don't know what happened, Wang Chong somehow managed to get on Crab's good side. Crab has a high status in our school; he's one of the more favored big brothers in Thirteen Kills. Because of Crab's protection, Wang Chong's status has started to rise higher and higher. Wang Chong also likes our school's most beautiful girl, Li Jiaqi, but she's never reciprocated his feelings," Second Brother said.

"Li Jiaqi is the most beautiful girl in our school?" I couldn't help but laugh again after hearing my second brother's words. While Li Jiaqi was indeed pretty, compared to the four girls around Xi'er—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—she was merely average-looking. She wasn't even as cute as Winter or as pretty as Summer, the most beautiful of the four. Zhang Shixue, on the other hand, had quite distinctive features. Compared to Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, she was slightly prettier and could be considered a school beauty.

"Yeah, Li Jiaqi is a top beauty in our school. What's even more remarkable is that she doesn't have a boyfriend. Our school isn't good; it's the worst school in the entire provincial capital. The students here aren't good at studying. There aren't many students from wealthy families either. The rich ones mostly go to better schools, so pretty girls don't really want to come here. Our school has five or six thousand students, but only about twenty beauties. Most of the beauties are taken by the school's big brothers. If all the big brothers in our school didn't already have partners, our Brother Gou wouldn't have had a chance to woo Lanlan. But Li Jiaqi doesn't not have a boyfriend because she's not pretty enough. It's because her standards are too high; she only wants to find someone rich, and not only rich, but also handsome. So, even now, Li Jiaqi is still single, and many people are eyeing her." Third Brother laughed.

"Oh, I see. Li Jiaqi is one of the top beauties in our school. Where does Zhang Shixue rank in our school?" I asked.

"First!" Third Brother said.

"First?" I was surprised.

"Yes, Zhang Shixue is the number one beauty in our school, the most beautiful girl among beauties. Plus, her family is rich; both her parents are civil servants. Even our school's big brother, Heilong, only dares to have a crush on her. He doesn't dare to pursue her openly. Eighth Brother, Zhang Shixue is not only beautiful, but her family is also rich. You shouldn't even think about such distant things. Think about Li Jiaqi instead. Don't blame me for being blunt, but you're not good enough for a beauty like Zhang Shixue..." Third Brother looked at me with pity.

"Okay, then I don't want to think about it..."

Hearing my third brother's words, I couldn't help but think of Zhang Xuan. It's a pity Zhang Xuan went to the wrong school. If it weren't for Xi'er, A Yao, and other beautiful girls like Tang Ning and Shan Shan, Zhang Xuan would probably be the number one beauty at Beicheng No. 13 Middle School.

If we're talking about beauty, the most beautiful girl I know is definitely Xi'er, without a doubt. Then there's An Yao and Wang Che; both are top-tier beauties, second only to Xi'er. Next are Zhang Xuan, Tang Ning, and Shan Shan. Zhang Shixue is pretty, but slightly less so than Zhang Xuan. They look similar, but Zhang Xuan has a more refined air. Even the petite Tang Ning and the sweet-looking Shan Shan are prettier than Zhang Shixue.

Chatting about school gossip is quite interesting, so after thinking for a moment, I asked them, "Heilong likes Zhang Shixue, does Heilong have a girlfriend?"

"No, Black Dragon has high standards. He only likes Zhang Shixue. But Zhang Shixue doesn't like Black Dragon and hasn't said a word to him. However, I think Zhang Shixue is a bit special to you. You might actually have a chance with her, but it'll be quite difficult and probably take several years of effort," said Yellow Dog.

"Hmm..." I nodded slightly after hearing what the yellow dog said.

We chatted for a while longer. Suddenly, Huang Gou said he wanted to treat us all to drinks. This time, we wouldn't drink in the dorm; we'd go out, and Huang Gou would be paying.

When Huang Gou said he'd treat everyone to drinks, everyone cheered excitedly. But I knew Huang Gou's family wasn't well-off; he earned all his money through odd jobs. Besides, Huang Gou was dating someone, and he needed money for her. Thinking of this, I quickly said to Huang Gou, "Brother Gou, let's not go out drinking. If we want to drink, let's do it in the dorm like yesterday."

"No way! You helped me today because I offended Crab, and you even saved face for me in front of my girlfriend. I absolutely have to treat you to drinks today!" Although Yellow Dog liked to brag, he had a very generous personality.

"No need, let's not waste money going out. If you really want to treat me to drinks, just buy me some eggs." I thought of the thirty-odd snakes I had just acquired. Each of their mouths was an egg, and without money, I couldn't feed them for more than a few days before I had to borrow money from Runtu again.

"Eggs? What do you need eggs for?" the yellow dog asked me in surprise.

"I, I..." Seeing the yellow dog's puzzled expression, I didn't know how to explain to him.

“Wang Xi, from now on you’re my brother. Just tell me what you need and I’ll give it to you. How many eggs do you want? I’ll buy them for you. But today we have to go out for drinks. You helped me today, so I really need to thank you properly,” Huang Gou said to me.

"Alright then..." Seeing that the yellow dog was so insistent, I had no choice but to nod in agreement.

However, just as we were about to leave, the phone in the dormitory suddenly rang.

Everyone knew the dorm phone was for the guy who called, and no one answered it. But, the moment he picked up the phone, his expression changed.

His face was flushed, and the man on the phone kept pointing at the phone and whispering something to us, but he was too nervous and he stammered so much that we couldn't understand him.

"What's wrong? You're so happy that your girlfriend agreed to go to a hotel with you?" Huang Gou frowned and said, seeing the nervous look on the man's face on the phone.

"No, no, no, it's, it's the school beauty Zhang Shixue..." the man on the phone finally said.

"Zhang Shixue? She called our dorm?" Huang Gou stared in surprise.

"Looking for... looking for Wang Xi..." the man on the phone stammered.

"Holy crap!" After hearing what the guy on the phone said, everyone stared at me with wide eyes.

I was quite surprised that Zhang Shixue would call me. After thinking for a moment, I frowned, walked over, and picked up the phone. Then I nodded slightly, smiled, said a few more words to the person on the other end, and hung up.

"Bro, what does Zhang Shixue, the school beauty, want with you?" Huang Gou asked, gripping my arm tightly, sounding even more excited than me.

"It's nothing. She said she wanted to go out and talk to me, but I told her I was going to drink with my buddies and wouldn't be going," I said.

"..." After hearing what I said, everyone was stunned by my expression.

And I felt helpless being stared at like that. Even if Xi'er and An Yao contacted me, it wouldn't be a problem if I told them I couldn't go because I had something to do. And if Zhang Shixue contacted me, it wouldn't be a problem if I couldn't go because I had something to do…

Chapter 177 Dragon King

Soft light shimmered in a cozy bedroom, where three beautiful girls sat. One girl was the most striking; she was slender, and her long legs, visible beneath her thin nightgown, were incredibly alluring. Her skin was like jade, and her long hair was pulled up high, a blush playing on her pretty face. She gently closed the phone, a hint of disappointment on her face.

In front of her computer in her bedroom, a pretty girl with a slightly arrogant expression stood out. Seeing the other girl hang up the phone, the pretty girl said smugly, "Shixue, how about that? Didn't he become eager to come out as soon as you called that loser? Let's not rush. Let me take a good shower first, and then we'll go find him. You, Zhang Shixue, personally invited him; he'll be happy even if he waits an hour."

“No. He said he has something to do and won’t be coming out tonight.” Zhang Shixue frowned slightly.

"What!?" Upon hearing Zhang Shixue's words, Li Jiaqi and Lanlan both widened their eyes in surprise.

"He's probably really busy, let's not bother him. Let's treat him to a meal to thank him properly when he's free. After all, Huang Gou is Lanlan's boyfriend. He helped Huang Gou today, we should thank him properly," Zhang Shixue sighed.

"Heh, this kid really doesn't know what's good for him. You, Zhang Shixue, personally invited him, and he still won't come? You know, Heilong from our school has sent people to invite you many times, and you haven't said a word to him. Not only Heilong, but also countless handsome guys from wealthy families in these thirteen schools in Beicheng have invited you, and you haven't gone. Now you personally invited this kid, and he still won't come?" Li Jiaqi seemed indignant.

"He must have something to do," Zhang Shixue sighed.

"Hehe, I don't think he's hurt. He's just pretending to be serious. I've seen plenty of people like that. He's pretty good at playing hard to get. Shixue, you're too naive. Try to avoid people like that in the future. Let's stay away from him," Li Jiaqi said.

“He helped us today, isn’t this a bit inappropriate…” Zhang Shixue said.

"He's a scheming bitch. Why bother with someone like him? Besides, he's just handsome and good at fighting, but what good is that? In the future, money will be everything. Shixue, I think you should just give up on him. You're so pretty, and your parents are civil servants. Wouldn't it be better to find a rich man? Liu Wenbin from Beicheng No. 7 Middle School is pretty good. He's handsome and his family is rich. I heard his family sells spices and earns a million a year," Li Jiaqi said.

“You’re making so much money? Liu Wenbin, you should consider it. Although Wang Xi is Huang Gou’s brother, I still hope you find someone rich.” Lanlan also advised after hearing Li Jiaqi’s words.

"What are you talking about? It's like I've fallen for him." Zhang Shixue blushed and gently bit her lip.

"You know in your heart whether you like him or not." The two girls laughed and started teasing Zhang Shixue.

On the other side, I couldn't help but sneeze. Looking at the beer in front of me, I felt a little dizzy. Without realizing it, I'd already drunk three bottles, and the yellow dog still showed no signs of stopping. Looks like I'm going to get completely drunk again today.

However, I felt a little sorry for Huang Gou's wallet. Looking around, I whispered to him, "Brother Gou, that's enough. We can just find any KTV. Why did we come to Nightless City to drink? The drinks here are expensive. This small bottle of beer is five yuan. Let's pay the bill and buy some beer to drink back in the dorm. It's a waste of money. You might as well buy me some eggs."

Huang Gou seemed to be in a bad mood because of the beating he received during the day. He glared at me and said angrily, "Brother, what do you mean by this? Do you think I, Huang Gou, am short of money? Don't worry, we'll still drink tonight, and I'll definitely buy you your eggs. Besides, I'm a waiter at Nightless City, so I get a 50% discount on drinks; it won't cost much. I just don't understand, what do you need eggs for? Do you think eating raw eggs can make you stronger in that area?"

Hearing what the yellow dog said, I couldn't help but glance at the brightly lit, bustling surroundings. Helpless, I pouted and said, "Besides eggs, I can't afford anything else to feed him..."

"What did you say?" The yellow dog didn't hear me clearly.

"It's okay, let's drink," I said.

Working as a waiter at Nightless City, the monthly salary wasn't bad. However, this place was now Wang You and Liu Li's territory. Glancing around, I saw Ma Wenwu, one of the four major families in the provincial capital, already in charge. All the previous security guards had been replaced; they must have been Ma Wenwu's men.

Huang Gou was at most a waiter at Nightclub. He didn't know the head of the establishment, nor did he know anyone below him. As for his claim of "keeping order," I guess he meant helping to teach troublemakers a lesson. But he had no idea what "keeping order" truly meant. A head of the establishment, besides dealing with troublemakers, also had to handle matters on the official side. For example, when the fire department came to inspect, the head of the establishment was responsible for settling things. When the police came to inspect, the head of the establishment also had to help settle things. To be the head of the largest nightclub in the provincial capital was already a local tyrant. Huang Gou was just an ordinary small-time thug; he could fool ordinary people with his boasting.

"Something's definitely not right. All the big shots here have been replaced. The Brother Xie I used to know is gone." Yellow Dog, his face flushed from drinking, glanced around and whispered.

"Did Wang You and Liuli really take this place? Are Wang You and Liuli that amazing?" After hearing Huang Gou's words, the rest of us in the dorm asked with admiration.

"Yes, Wang You and Liuli are fugitives who fled from Heilongjiang Province. These two siblings are highly skilled in martial arts, and they also have guns. It's unbelievable that the wise Emperor Zhao would be defeated by them. Those two must have robbed a lot of money in Heilongjiang Province." Yellow Dog whispered to them, "Looks like I'll have to change bosses in the future..."

"..." Watching the yellow dog boast so enthusiastically, I just drank without saying a word. Stealing a glance at Ma Wenwu, the heir of the Ma family, I guessed that Wang You and Liuli hadn't launched their attack on the Yehenara family yet. Having just absorbed my uncle's influence in the province, they should need some time to digest it. And I, too, must speed up the collection of snakes in the province.

Just then, I caught a glimpse of someone I knew. Seeing him, I told Huang Gou and the others I needed to use the restroom, and then I headed towards it.

I lit a cigarette in the restroom. I sensed the man had followed me in and he said coldly, "Good boy, why are you following me?"

"Oh dear, my young master! What are you doing? Hurry up and go back to An Yao's side. Why are you chatting with a bunch of losers? Don't you know, Wang You and Liu Li have been causing a huge ruckus these past two days. They've armed their men with the weapons they acquired and led them into Emperor Zhao's territory, sweeping everything in their path. Even if Emperor Zhao's power is great, they're going to fall after this barrage. In just four days, Emperor Zhao has already lost over a hundred people. Yesterday, Liu Li fought with Long Pao again. You don't know how fierce Liu Li is; she injured a god-level expert like Long Pao with a single palm strike. If Long Pao didn't have such deep reserves, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape from Liu Li." The good-natured boy wiped his sweat, looking at me with a helpless expression.

"Is Uncle in the dragon robe really no match for Liuli?" I asked in surprise.

"Heh. Don't you even know who Liuli's mother is? Her mother is a monster. She knocked your father out of his wits with a single palm strike, and the little monster she gave birth to is even more powerful than her mother. At only fifteen, she's already a mid-level god-level expert. If she weren't so lazy about practicing martial arts, becoming a god-level expert would be just around the corner. Stop messing around. Hurry up and go back to Anyao and the others. These past two days, Anyao and Xi'er have joined forces to attack Wang You and Liuli. They haven't even seen the two of them yet, and half of their men are already injured," said the good-natured one.

"Who got hurt?" I asked.

“Your brother Lu Zhicheng, and the four maids under Xi’er’s command,” said the kind-hearted man.

"They didn't launch an attack on the Yehenara family, did they?" I asked.

“According to reliable intelligence, their next target is you, and they’ve split their forces into two groups. Nineteen gangs will attack Emperor Zhao, and the four major families will attack the Yehenara family,” said Xiao Haoren.

“I’m weak, so why am I their next target?” I asked.

"Because you're the noble heir, capturing you is like taking over half of the Wang family. By the way, the Wang family sent another wave of troops these past two days. Wang You and Liuli's forces were too powerful, driving back the Wang family's experts. The battle is practically at their doorstep, and you still have the mood to act tough and flirt. Luckily, you disappeared at the crucial moment, otherwise you would have been captured by now. But they're about to find you, so hurry back and find An Yao. We can't defeat them in a fight, but we can hold out for a few days," said the kind-hearted little man.

"I'm not going back. I'm just an ordinary person now," I said expressionlessly.

"What? You're fucking serious? It's just losing a woman, it's not a big deal. If you want a woman, just say so. With your status, how many women can't you find? Just show me your status as the heir of the Wang family, and I'll give you that bank card with thirty million in it right now. Damn, just throw some money at it, there are plenty of women prettier than Zhang Xuan, aren't there? That Empress Dowager is mentally ill, why are you arguing with her?" The good guy spoke very quickly, and you could tell he was very anxious.

"Hehe, you seem to be in a hurry?" I asked.

“Of course I’m anxious. Our Hao family also relies on a branch of your Wang family. If the Yehenara family and Emperor Zhao are destroyed, our Hao family will also be swallowed up by Wang You and Liuli. You don’t know how many good medicines our Hao family has to offer to your Wang family every year. Your Wang family’s ability to cultivate so many martial arts masters is also closely related to our Hao family,” said Xiao Haoren.

"Do you have poison?" Hearing the little good guy's question, I was intrigued.

"What kind of poison do you want?" Little Good Guy blinked.

"Highly toxic poisons, all kinds of poisons, and the more the better," I said.

Hearing my words, the kind-hearted guy wiped his sweat and laughed. Then, he lewdly put his arm around my shoulder and said, "If you want medicine, you've come to the right place. I can get you anything, not just poison, but even aphrodisiacs, as many as you want. Not bad, so you've started learning how to poison from Wang Huan. What, are you planning to poison Wang You and Liuli like Wang Huan did?"
