My Arrogant Young Lady

As for our being tricked by Wang Huan, it's probably because our strength is still insufficient. If I were a master above the gods, what could Wang Huan do to me even with the most vicious schemes?

The thought of my deceased brother makes my heart ache again.

I clenched my fists so tightly they cracked. I decided to circulate the inner energy I had generated and begin cultivating. This time, after taking the Innate Qi-Replenishing Pill, I had jumped directly from a lower-level martial arts master to a higher-level one. But I've only just touched the threshold of the higher-level martial arts master; I still need to diligently cultivate and consolidate my strength. That's good, though. This place isn't as alluring as the outside world; staying here allows me to dedicate a significant amount of time to cultivation.

Meanwhile, overseas, at the Wang family residence, Wang Huan had returned with a large group of Wang family experts. After dismissing everyone, Wang Huan walked directly into a grand mansion and knelt on one knee behind a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was admiring a famous painting in front of him, standing with his back to Wang Huan and his hands clasped behind his back. Hearing Wang Huan enter, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Huan'er, look at this painting, 'The Beauty of Guiyang Prince,' by Gu Kaizhi. Although it's not as good as 'The Goddess of the Luo River' or 'Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies,' the painting is exquisite, the beauty in the painting is lifelike, and it's an authentic work by the painting master Gu Kaizhi. It can already be called a priceless treasure."

“My father loved antiques all his life and had a profound understanding of them. This painting of the beauty of the Prince of Guiyang is quite good!” Wang Huan grinned mischievously.

"Not bad, but it's a pity it can't belong to me, Wang Yuebai. No matter how many treasures there are, they all belong to Wang Yang, not me, Wang Yuebai. I, Wang Yuebai, finally managed to become a distant relative of Wang Yang, and then worked hard to learn martial arts and made a lot of contributions to his Wang family. Now my position in his family is quite important, but so what? No matter how hard you, Huan'er, work, you're just a henchman for the Wang family. And no matter how hard I, Wang Yuebai, work, I'm just making wedding dresses for his Wang family. Only by bringing this Wang family into our hands will our efforts not have been in vain. Those six brats of the Wang family, you've already settled them, haven't you?" Wang Yuebai suddenly turned around, his triangular eyes filled with a fierce glint.

“Since I couldn’t kill them, I used some methods to send them to the largest prison in the north. It’s heavily guarded there. It won’t be easy for them to escape. And even if they do escape, they’ll definitely become wanted criminals in China and be hunted by the domestic police. The Chinese police are very powerful, and China’s strength is something none of our countries dare to underestimate. Even if Wang Xi has extraordinary abilities, what can he do against China? No one can be a match for China.” Wang Huan smiled.

"That's right, Huan'er is becoming more and more outstanding." Wang Yuebai smiled.

"Father," Wang Huan said, "I just don't understand. Now that we've captured the six sons of the Wang family, why not just kill them? They're already mutually weakened; killing them now would be effortless. As for the Yehenara family, we've kept them under house arrest as you instructed, without harming a single hair on their heads. The Yehenara family is a force to be reckoned with, capable of rivaling the Wang family. If they were to recall their married daughters to their main family, the Wang family would likely face a major headache due to their large-scale attack. This is a hidden danger that should be eliminated!"

“Hehe, that’s where Huan’er’s immaturity lies. Has Huan’er ever considered what the consequences would be if the Yehenara family were wiped out and all six sons of the Wang family died?” Wang Yuebai asked.

Hearing Wang Yuebai's words, Wang Huan frowned slightly. Gradually, his face paled. "The Yehenara family is an ancient royal family, with many outstanding alchemists within. Even the most important figures in China have intricate connections with the Yehenara family. And those girls who marry out of the Yehenara family are all married into some of the top super families in the country. If we were to wipe out the Yehenara family, the entire nation would be shocked. The higher-ups would send people to investigate, and those girls who married out of the Yehenara family would bring their families back for questioning. We can't hide this case."

"Indeed, the Yehenara family is incredibly powerful, and we can't afford to mess with them. As for the six sons of the Wang family, their status is also high, and we can't afford to mess with them either. Even if the Wang family issues a kill order against Wang You and Liuli, it's only out of desperation. If you kill Wang You and Liuli, you won't gain any merit; instead, it will make the women and elders of the Wang family want to kill you. At that time, our positions will truly be in jeopardy. It's better to teach them a small lesson, so that the women and elders of the Wang family will have a better impression of you and be less wary of you. Then we can take advantage of their unpreparedness and kill them one by one!" Wang Yuebai sneered.

“Compared to Father, I am indeed not as capable. But that seventh son, Wang Yu, is about to become the sixth god of the Wang family. Wang Yu is arrogant and looks down on everything in this world. To him, strength is everything. No matter how many methods we use, he can shatter everything with just one punch. How should we deal with this person?” Wang Huan asked.

"Hehe, you don't need to worry about this. I'll handle it. What you need to do is use this opportunity to seize part of the Wang family's military power, and then work with me from the inside to destroy them. The Wang family thinks they only have five experts above the level of gods, but they don't know that I was already an expert above the level of gods a year ago." Smiling, Wang Yuebai suddenly took off his coat. Underneath the coat was a shimmering golden dragon robe.

"Father!" Wang Huan's eyes lit up with joy as he gazed at the magnificent dragon robe worn by the middle-aged man before him. If his father could take control of the Wang family, he would likely become the crown prince!

On this side, the guards were puzzled to see Zhang Long injured. After asking around, they learned that Zhang Long had failed to teach the new rapist a lesson. Not only had he failed to teach the new rapist a lesson, but he had also been seriously injured by him. This surprised the guards.

They knew the new recruit knew some martial arts, but they didn't expect him to be this skilled. As soon as the guards brought it up, Zhang Long and the other inmates immediately began complaining, "Big brother, please change our rooms. We can't beat that kid. We're too ashamed to stay in this room. Besides, that kid is incredibly mysterious and powerful; we're scared to live with him. Please change our rooms quickly; we don't want to live with him anymore."

"How can you do this? You can't just change these rules like that! Besides, if you can't beat him, don't fight. This isn't the place for you to fight. As for that new inmate, if he tries to fight you again, we'll just lock him up in solitary confinement. People like him won't be arrogant for long after doing bad things. Heaven will deal with him. You can stay here and reform yourselves so you can get out and go home to reunite with your families sooner," the warden said, frowning.

"No, I'm not going to stay with him anymore. I'm the group leader in our room, and he hit me like that and I lost all face. You need to change my room right now, or I'll make a scene. I'll make a scene until you agree!" Zhang Long shouted again, refusing to listen to the discipline officer's words.

They knew Zhang Long well enough to know what kind of person he was. He wasn't a good person outside, and here he was just as restless and unruly. He wasn't a good person, and the new kid wasn't exactly a saint either. Evil people always have their match. They never expected Zhang Long to be afraid of others. But they knew Zhang Long's personality; if they didn't change his room, he would definitely cause a scene.

Thinking of this, one of the guards, feeling sorry for him, said, "If it doesn't work out, let's change his room so he can serve his sentence in peace and avoid causing trouble."

“But the number of people in this room is fixed. If we move him to another room, others will have to move to Zhang Long’s room. Would they be willing to do that?” the head guard asked.

“I can talk to him. I’ll give him money and cigarettes. As long as he trades with me, I’ll give him whatever he wants,” Zhang Long quickly said.

"Shut up, what do you think this place is?" The head guard glared at him fiercely.

"Captain, I heard there's a new prisoner in the other room. He's quite pretentious. On his first day, he lectured all the other prisoners in his room, complaining that they were ugly and wanting to move. Why don't we switch him? The new guy in this room is quite handsome; maybe they'll get along." The subordinate guard said.

"Yes, we can switch, but we can't let them fight," the captain said.

“Don’t worry, I’m watching them,” the subordinate said.

The change was swift and decisive. To prevent fights and ensure everyone could serve their sentences peacefully, they swapped Zhang Long's cell with another new inmate that very night. The new inmate was equally young and handsome, with a freshly shaved head and an arrogant expression. As he strode confidently into his new room, the guard immediately warned him, "We've changed your room. The inmate in this room is very good-looking. If you get into another fight, we won't let you off easily."

"Alright, stop dawdling!" The prisoner licked his lips, then curled his lip in disdain. Like me, he'd been inexplicably locked up in this godforsaken place. He was incredibly irritable, wanting to punch anyone who didn't like him. He thought, "Someone's already trying to show off as soon as I got to the cell. Am I supposed to be a martial arts master now? Should I let them get away with this?" Then he glanced around the room, thinking, "I hope no one tries to show off, or I'll teach them a lesson."

The prisoners in that room all felt a chill when they saw the new, handsome young man arrive. They could all tell that this young man was different from others; he was clearly no pushover, just like Wang Xi.

Something might happen again tonight. This young man is very arrogant; Wang Xi might suffer a loss.

A few busybodies secretly rejoiced, glancing at me and whispering, "Serves you right for pretending. Now that someone who can fight has come, let's see what you do!"

Although those busybodies spoke very softly, the room was quiet, so I could hear them clearly. I didn't bother arguing with such insignificant people, and instead sat cross-legged on the bed to continue cultivating my internal energy.

But at that very moment, the young man suddenly lunged at me and hugged me tightly. Then, crying, he yelled at me, "Brother Xi, so you were locked up here too!"

"It's you?" I opened my eyes, and a surge of excitement welled up inside me.

Chapter 227 The Eight Immortals Cross the Sea, Each Displaying Their Unique Abilities

On the seventh day, I was taken to court. I heard the girl had woken up and could now sue me as the plaintiff. But the moment I saw her in court, I was enraged. Pointing at the judge, then at the girl, I said, "Damn it, this is a miscarriage of justice! Me, so handsome, would I rape such an ugly girl? I'm the heir of the Wang family! Release me now!"

Silence fell. The judge suddenly picked up his gavel and struck it heavily, then glanced at the girl and frowned. He then beckoned to the police officer handling the case and said, "Zhang, what's wrong with you? Are you sure you're not mistaken? Wang Xi raped the victim, Xiao Hua?"

“Sir, I’m also puzzled by this, but we have both witnesses and physical evidence. People can lie, but evidence doesn’t lie. However, the victim is indeed quite ugly. Perhaps I should investigate further later?” Officer Zhang said.

"Investigate further. There are too many suspicious points in this case. It's possible that the victim, Xiaohua, raped Wang Xi, rather than Wang Xi raping Xiaohua," the judge said.

“Indeed. Let me check again. So, what should we do now?” Xiao Zhang asked.

"Let's proceed according to the legal procedures first," the judge said, frowning.

Indeed, that young woman was rather unsightly. She was about 160 cm tall and weighed around 160 kg. Being overweight was bad enough, but her clothes were also dowdy, and her features were indescribably ugly. Especially after she saw that I had raped her, she actually developed feelings for me and planned to clear my name. But seeing my agitated state, she immediately stood up and yelled at me, "What's wrong? You touched me and now you're denying it? I'm 26 years old, but I'm still a virgin. I was planning to marry a rich man and be a wealthy wife, and now look what's happened! My future is ruined! I don't care anymore, pay up! Pay for my emotional distress, pay for my lost youth! One million, not a penny less!"

Hearing Xiaohua's lion-like roar, even the guards accompanying me started to feel sorry for me this time. Then one of the guards gently nudged me and said, "What's wrong? Do you have some kind of special fetish?"

"What the hell? I'm handsome as hell. My fiancée is Yehenara Xier, she's incredibly beautiful. Are you blind? Can't you see I'm being framed? Release me right now, or I'll never let you get away with this!" I became agitated again as I looked at the pitiful Xiaohua across from me.

"Don't get agitated, don't get agitated. We all know what happened, and we sympathize with you. But when we caught you, we had all the evidence, both witnesses and physical proof," said another guard next to me.

"Witness? Physical evidence? Where are the witnesses? And where is my physical evidence?" Upon hearing the word "physical evidence," I immediately collapsed to the ground. Could it be that my body really had been violated by that little flower?

At this point, a witness was called into the courtroom. It was an old man who, upon seeing me, said, “I saw it. He raped Xiaohua. He looked terrifying, like a demon. Even though the girl begged for mercy, he didn’t let her go. He kept hitting Xiaohua and then forcibly raped her. He was a beast. He also hit me; he kept hitting me after he saw me. He punched me hard and kicked me hard. I was terrified and fought with all my might to injure him and escape from him…”

After listening to the old man's words, the judge blinked and asked, "Sir, how old are you this year?"

"I'm eighty-two." The old man opened his mouth, revealing only one last yellow tooth.

"You're 82 years old, and this young man beat you for half a day and you're still okay? He kept punching you and kicking you? And you managed to injure him and escape from him?" the judge asked.

"What do you mean? You're saying I'm lying? What the hell do you mean? Would someone my age lie?" After saying that, the old man immediately shakily walked out of the plaintiff's seat, leaning on his cane, and said, "Cough, cough, you little brat, you don't believe me? Believe me or not, I'll beat you right now?"

"No, you should rest. Don't hurt your back." I frowned. The judge glanced at me and said, "This case is problematic. We'll stop here for today. Wang Xi, the suspect, will have his original sentence upheld for now and will be sent back to Jincheng Prison."

After the judge came down, he glared at Xiao Zhang and said, "Let me tell you, if this case is wrong, you will be held responsible. You should investigate it thoroughly. If you have truly wronged the person in question, you'd better be prepared to pay compensation."

"I understand... Should I let them settle this privately?" Xiao Zhang asked after thinking for a moment.

"Settle it out of court? The case has already been submitted, how can it be settled out of court? And haven't you heard? The plaintiff is asking for a million? Haha, I really don't know what she's thinking. If it were me, I wouldn't touch her even if she paid me a million."

It's obvious that the young woman and the old man were both extras hired by Wang Huan. If Wang Huan were any more cunning, I would have accepted being framed. But he hired such clumsy extras to frame me; how could I not be furious? Moreover, I now seriously suspect that the young woman took advantage of me. The thought that I might have actually been taken advantage of by her fills me with a pang of bitterness.

Along the way, the guards' expressions towards me all softened. They had initially disliked me, thinking I had actually committed rape. But now, they looked at me with only pity, patting me on the shoulder and saying, "Brother, I'm sorry you had to go through that."

"Give me a cigarette," I said.

“Here…” they said, looking at me with pity.

Back at the prison, Young Master Bao immediately came over to me and said, "Brother Xi, how's the case going? That Wang Huan is ruthless; he actually got you charged with rape. Do you know what I am? Arms trafficking. Damn, he's pretty tough. When I first came to this hellhole, those inmates wanted to teach me a lesson. But after I taught them a lesson, they were all terrified when they heard my crime."

The night before last, the prisoner that the guards brought to my room was none other than Young Master Bao. When Young Master Bao saw me, he was so excited he almost cried.

As for me, I learned from Young Master Bao that not only was I imprisoned, but a whole group of my brothers were too. This included An Yao, Wang Che, Liu Li, and Poisonous Snake; those four girls were currently in the women's prison next door. Wang Huan didn't dare kill us. He used some tricks to get us into prison. If I'm not mistaken, he's already back in the Wang family, using schemes to try and overthrow our family.

The guards who accompanied me back told their colleagues about the case, and after hearing about it, they all looked at me with pity.

That evening, the instructor also spoke with me. He handed me a lit cigarette and looked at me with a pained expression. "What's wrong with you, Comrade Wang? Even if you're desperate for women, you can't commit crimes."

Taking a deep drag on my cigarette, I said helplessly, "Instructor, I've said it countless times, I'm innocent, I haven't committed any crime. I'm the heir of the Wang family, and my father is the emperor of the Golden Triangle. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to Oil City to ask Emperor Zhao. Emperor Zhao is my uncle, he can vouch for me."

"Heh, what right do people like us have to see Emperor Zhao? If you're truly innocent, please calm down. The law is just and will surely prove your innocence," the instructor said helplessly.

“My brothers were all framed. It was some despicable people who framed us; we really didn’t break the law,” I said.

“I believe in you, don’t worry. You and your brothers don’t have household registration. I’m starting to believe you’re foreigners,” the instructor said.

"Yes." I nodded gently.

Seeing that I was indeed wronged, the instructor sighed and said, "Go back and rest first. Our prison is better than before. The three meals a day are nutritious. Breakfast includes bread and milk, and lunch includes beef. You can also watch the news for half an hour in the evening. Take this opportunity to learn more. We have a library where you can read books. Once your case is cleared up, you will be released naturally."

"Yes." I nodded vigorously again after hearing the instructor's words.

At dinner, I saw Wang Huan and his Four Poisons in the main dining hall. Also there was Mount Everest, the four hall masters, Runtu, and Black Dragon. Seeing me and Young Master Bao, they glanced around and slowly walked towards me. Then they sat down near me. Wang Huan sat down in front of me and said, "Heh, Wang Huan thinks he can trap us like this? If I, Wang Huan, wanted to leave, this little Jincheng Prison probably couldn't hold me."

"How do we leave?" I asked.

Upon hearing my words, Wang Huan smiled disdainfully. Then, he gave a wink to Centipede, one of the Four Poison Boys beside him.

With a slight nod, the centipede released a small centipede from its sleeve. Watching the small centipede wriggle gently on the table, it whispered, "We, the Five Poison Children, and Prince Wang Huan, all possess the ability to control poisonous insects. If we wish to leave, we can send out poisonous insects to incapacitate the guards here. Then, we can walk out through the main gate openly. The reason we've remained here is to wait for the prince to appear. His Chinese police are formidable, but we are among the world's elite. These ordinary people can't hold us back."

"Gibberish. Waaah waaah." The fat toad under Wang Huan's command started talking.

"What did he say?" We all looked at Wang Huan with blank expressions after hearing the fat toad speak.

“He said the toad he sent out had already seen it; the day after they entered this place, An Yao, Wang Che, and Viper from the neighboring women’s prison had already escaped with Liuli.” Wang Huan translated for the toad.

"What? They moved so fast!?" I exclaimed in surprise.

"Heh, Wang Huan underestimates our abilities, and he overestimates his own. We are all Wang Yang's children, how could we be so easily defeated by him? It's that old bastard Wang Yuebai who's smart enough to leave himself a way out. Even if his conspiracy fails, he won't commit a capital crime for betraying the Wang family," Wang Huan sneered.

“Then, shall we leave now?” I asked.

"No rush..." Wang Huan smiled.

As if waiting for something, we suddenly saw a small centipede quickly crawl back. Then the centipede picked up its venomous insect, smelled it, nodded to us, and said, "Wang You isn't dead. He's locked up in this solitary confinement cell. After he woke up, he seemed to have injured many guards, so he was locked up by the guards here."

"Wang You isn't dead?" My eyes widened in surprise upon hearing what Wang Huan and his group said.

“That’s right, I knew that guy wouldn’t die so easily. After all, he’s a god-level expert, his physique is far stronger than that of ordinary people. The reason we stayed here, besides waiting for you, was to find Wang You’s whereabouts and where they put our weapons and equipment. Now that we’ve found everything, we’re just waiting to rescue Wang You and then find our weapons and equipment to leave this place.” Wang Huan smiled.

"Good job, little brother!" I couldn't help but praise him.

"Heh, after all, I am a prince!" Wang Huan smirked arrogantly.

Just then, a guard walked towards us with a smile. When he reached us, he revealed his handsome face and stared at us with a beaming smile, saying, "What's so impressive about escaping from here? Che'er not only escaped easily, but he also walked in openly and legitimately…!"

"..."

Chapter 228 The Terrifying King You

"Wang You, is he really still alive?" Looking at the handsome young man before me, I was deeply frightened by 'him'. You see, everyone here is a man, and all of them have been lonely for years, even decades. And Wang Che, she was breathtakingly beautiful. If this were discovered, it would be a huge disaster.

However, Wang Che appeared very calm. Not only was she not afraid of the men here, but she also sat down next to me in front of everyone. "Of course Wang You is alive. The reason I sneaked in here was to find his whereabouts. He is our fifth brother. How could he die so easily?"

"So he really is alive, that's wonderful." I was secretly thrilled after hearing Wang Che's words.

"Wang You is alive, but don't be too happy yet. That kid is cold-blooded; he won't listen to anyone except his sister, Liuli. Only Liuli can change Wang You somewhat. However, Liuli now believes Wang You is dead. Although Liuli was seriously injured in this battle, and her strength was greatly reduced—from a high-level god-tier to a low-level martial arts expert overnight—she still wants revenge for Wang You. Even if we tell Liuli that Wang You is still alive, she won't believe us and won't come to see him. Not being able to get them to trust us is a headache." Wang Che sighed, pursing his lips.

“If Wang You is still alive, then I have a way to make Wang You trust me.” After thinking for a moment, I said to Wang Che.

"What method?" Wang Huan asked from the side.

"Find a way to get me to Wang You's place. I haven't had enough contact with him; I need to have more contact with him," I said to Wang Che and Wang Huan.
