My Arrogant Young Lady

Tong Jialing'er's show of weakness made Long Yuan re-evaluate my position in his heart. At this moment, I was no longer a friend of his generation, nor a useless person whose strength was far inferior to his. Originally, when the pirates of Ula Sea attacked us at the first moment, he only had eyes for himself, Long Yun, and Wang You. As for me, I was just a spoiled brat who only deserved their protection, a useless piece of trash with no ability.

I have no right to speak, and even if I wanted to, I couldn't command him. In his eyes, I wasn't qualified.

But at this moment, he was completely convinced. When he saw Tong Jialing'er yield to us, he immediately handed over command to me, the highest-ranking person here.

Although my strength is only at the lower level of a martial arts master, I can afford to send two god-level masters to help him. These two god-level masters are Wang You and Tong Jia Ling'er. They are both carefully trained by the Wang family and the Yehenara family, and their strength and level are comparable to Long Yuan and Long Yun.

Their strengths are equal, but they specialize in different martial arts. This difference in martial arts means a gap in their actual combat abilities.

Wang You was a veteran of the battlefield, and many enemies had died at his hands. Everyone called him a demon king; his martial arts were true killing techniques, far superior to those of aristocratic scions like Long Yuan and Long Yun, who had grown up sparring with masters since childhood.

I didn't simply threaten Tong Jialing'er with my wedding date with Xi'er to force her to submit to me. Xi'er is the woman I love, the girl I'm about to cherish for the rest of my life. Now, seeing us under attack by pirates, we might very well delay my wedding to Xi'er. The Ye family's rules don't allow me to change them casually; if I miss the date, I might miss Xi'er for life. I'm also very anxious; the rules between Xi'er and me are not something I can joke about.

I'm truly furious with Tong Jia Ling'er; she actually followed me onto this ship like a spy. If I really had a misunderstanding with some beautiful woman, and Tong Jia Ling'er truthfully reported it to the Empress Dowager, wouldn't she be setting me up?

The reason I said I didn't need her was because I truly didn't. I have Wang You to help me; with Wang You, I have the capital to be arrogant.

Although Wang You's strength is only at the lower level of a god-level expert, he can still fight on par with a mid-level god-level expert. Moreover, he is a born commander, possessing the ability to wipe out thousands of enemies with only ten subordinates.

In the Golden Triangle, there are many child soldiers, children who are orphans. They are used by drug traffickers to fight on the battlefield. When their fathers defeat these child soldiers, take them prisoner, and raise them as their own, the children of the Wang family, despite being princes, do not enjoy privileges or a life of luxury. An Yao, Wang Che, Wang Huan, Wang You, Liu Li, and Wang Yu were all sent to serve on the battlefield.

Wang You joined the army at the age of seven and has served for nine years. He has earned numerous merits. He even nearly died on the battlefield once, when Liu Li, weeping, pulled him from a pile of corpses and brought him home to save his life. Their father's strict demands on them are what have enabled him to raise such outstanding individuals. Now, after nine years of service, Wang You has risen to the rank of lieutenant colonel and is now a regimental commander in his father's army.

When Long Yuancai handed over command to me, I immediately discussed with Wang You, "Wang You, what methods are there to defeat the Ula Sea pirates on the other side?"

Wang You has the bearing of a soldier; he walks upright, sits straight, has a cold gaze, and always keeps his back straight.

Hearing my words, he smiled, his gaze cold and profound. Quietly lighting a cigarette, he coldly stared at the three colossal ships in the darkness and said, "In this world, there is no fortress that cannot be breached. In this world, there is no true impregnable fortress."

"The Ulahai group has a total of over a thousand men. They possess one warship and two warships converted from merchant ships. As far as I know, besides Ulahai himself, who is a mid-level God-level expert, they also have three lower-level God-level experts. I'm certain of that. The warship in the very center is Ulahai's, while the other two on either side are his subordinates' warships. Ulahai commands the overall situation from the central warship, with a God-level expert as his deputy. On the other two warships, there are two lower-level God-level experts each in command." Wang You said coldly with a smile on his face.

“Wang You, your analysis is good, and your thinking is very clear. But how can we defeat this group of pirates? Our cruise ship, including the staff, has a total of 432 people, which is a lot. But at most, only 15 of them are capable of fighting. They are all ordinary people, and most of them are women. The Ula Sea gang, on the other hand, has been roaming the seas for years, and even Interpol can't do anything about them. This group is extremely vicious. The five of us plus my ten men are no match for them!” As he spoke, Long Yuan lit a cigarette, feeling a headache coming on.

“There’s treasure on the ships in the Ula Sea,” Wang You said.

“Ula Hai is a pirate, his ship must have a lot of gold and silver treasures. But... we will soon be hijacked by them, and the treasures we are carrying and the money on our ship will become part of theirs,” Long Yuan said.

“Brother, there are still eleven days until your wedding with Xi’er,” Wang You said to me earnestly.

"Yes." I nodded gently.

"Eleven days from now, you will bring the head of Ulahai and his treasure to the Yehenara family as a betrothal gift. Using the infamous head of Ulahai and his treasure as a betrothal gift will certainly be more meaningful than any gold or silver treasures," Wang You said coldly.

“Of course,” Long Yuanhu said, trembling. “Our four great families, along with your Wang family and the Yehenara family, are all benevolent and charitable. Our six great families have always taken it upon ourselves to uphold justice. On the day the Crown Prince marries Xi’er, many heroes of the martial world and leaders of major sects will surely come to offer their congratulations. If we can really take the head of such a heinous pirate as Wulahai as a dowry, it will surely cause a huge sensation in the martial world. The Crown Prince will also become famous throughout the land because of it.”

“If we can really take over Ula Sea, our Long family will also benefit from it,” Long Yun said.

"Very well, then Wang You will personally go and take Wu Lahai's head. Consider it a congratulatory gift for my brother." With a cold laugh, Wang You's eyes suddenly flashed with a chilling light. "Long Yuan, I order you to prepare two speedboats and skilled speedboat operators to be waiting below them within three minutes!"

"You, go and do it now!" Upon hearing Wang You's words, Long Yuan immediately said to his subordinates.

"Hehe, our Long family has stood strong in the south for many years. A skilled speedboat operator can produce one in a minute." With a smile, the burly man beside Long Yuan immediately called over two young men to prepare the speedboat.

As the speedboat was ready beneath the ship, Wang You raised his thumb and gestured towards the three massive ships in the darkness for a few seconds, then glanced coldly at his wristwatch. "It's 11:38 PM now. We're about 30 nautical miles from the three warships. A speedboat's speed is about 40-60 knots per hour. We'll split into two groups from now on. Tong Jialing'er and I will go one way, and Long Yuan and Long Yun will go the other. We'll get to the two auxiliary ships on either side of the main ship of the Ula Sea as quickly as possible. We'll arrive at 12:08, board at 12:10, and take out their two ship commanders by 12:20. Then we'll open fire on the main ship of the Ula Sea with the cannons from their warships!"

"Good!" Upon hearing Wang You's plan, Long Yuan was deeply shocked. This Wang You was indeed a born commander, just as the legends said.

He was meticulous and remained calm in the face of danger. Moreover, he was able to come up with such a bold and feasible method to deal with thousands of pirates on the other side.

"Brother, protect the guests on the ship. Wang You will personally kill Wu La Hai and take his head as a wedding gift for you and Xi'er. I apologize for the misunderstanding before." Smiling at me, Wang You hugged me tightly.

"Good brother, be careful." I hugged my younger brother tightly, my heart filled with mixed emotions.

"Let's go!" After glancing at the deep, dark sea, Wang You leaped and landed lightly on the speedboat below.

"Wang Xi, you'd better watch yourself!" Tong Jialing'er gave me a deep look before jumping off the cruise ship, which was seven or eight meters high.

"Wang Xi, I'm leaving this place to you. Lead my Long family's men to protect everyone!" Long Yun clasped his hands in a fist salute to me, then jumped directly off the boat. Long Yun, her beautiful eyes sparkling, nodded slightly to me and also jumped off.

With a whistle, the two speedboats quickly left long white trails on the sea. When enemy fire came again, huge waves erupted on the surface. Despite being splashed by the seawater, Wang You remained unmoved. His gaze remained cold, his eyes fixed only on the head of the man on Ulahai's neck.

Chapter 242 Internal Sinister Actions

Holding binoculars, I watched as Wang You and Long Yuan's two speedboats left long white trails on the sea, getting closer and closer to the two warships beside the main ship of the Ula Sea. Suddenly, huge flashes of light erupted from the darkness from the two warships; the enemy had spotted them and was using submachine guns to fire a barrage.

Wang You remained ramrod straight, his expression calm and unhurried. With a swift sweep of his submachine gun, men from the enemy ship instantly fell into the inky sea.

After Wang You's speedboat reached the large ship, he threw a grappling hook onto the ship and quickly scrambled up. Before anyone could cut his rope, Wang You had already boarded the ship and was fighting the enemy.

On the other side, Long Yuan and Long Yun did the same as Wang You and Tong Jia Ling'er. One of them climbed upwards, while the other provided cover fire from below the boat with a submachine gun.

All that could be seen was Long Yuan climbing onto the boat. His younger sister was being carried around by a speedboat. Whenever someone popped their head out to try and cut the rope, Long Yun would raise his submachine gun and sweep them into the sea. Once Long Yuan had climbed onto the boat, Long Yun immediately leaped up and grabbed the rope to climb upwards.

They are all top-tier experts: Wang You, Tong Jialing'er, Long Yuan, and Long Yun. Their skills are definitely far superior to the ragtag group under Wula Hai's command.

Moreover, they attacked two auxiliary ships, not the main ship of the Ula Sea. The main ship of the Ula Sea had a mid-level God-level expert, a low-level God-level expert as his deputy, and several other elite martial arts experts on board, preparing to attack us. On the two warships adjacent to him, only two low-level God-level experts were on board, and those two were no match for Wang You, Tong Jialing'er, Long Yuan, and Long Yun.

After the four of them split into two groups and rushed onto the ship, Long Yuan knocked down several pirates and immediately checked the watch on his wrist.

The timing was perfect, 12:10. As agreed, they were to capture the enemy leader within ten minutes, and then simultaneously launch an attack on the main ship of the Ula Sea using the ship's firepower.

Seeing a large group of pirates shooting at him with weapons, Long Yuan immediately rolled over to cover and raised his submachine gun to fire at the enemy.

On the other side, Wang You and Tong Jialing'er had all boarded the ship. Although Tong Jialing'er was somewhat resentful of Wang You, she was also furious at his cold attitude.

But just one glance at Wang You's methods of killing enemies was enough to make Tong Jia Ling'er, an ice queen, tremble.

This young man possesses remarkable skill. In terms of battlefield prowess, probably no other member of any family in the entire country can rival him.

Yes, Wang You's men were honed on overseas battlefields; how could the pampered scions of wealthy families back home compare to him? Although Wang You maintained a smile on his face, his eyes held a chilling killing intent.

When a large group of enemies charged at Wang You, he simply raised his submachine gun and swept half of them down. Then, he quickly reloaded, stood up again, and took down the other half of the enemy.

Sixty bullets meant sixty enemy bodies fell. To be able to accurately take down each enemy with a submachine gun—even the country's top marksmen probably didn't possess such skill.

However, what surprised Tong Jia Ling'er even more was yet to come. As Tong Jia Ling'er charged into the enemy ranks and used her sword to take down a small group of enemies, Wang You had already captured one of the enemy's cannons.

As a large number of enemies, shouting in foreign languages ​​and brandishing weapons, charged towards Wang You, a smile appeared on Wang You's face. He kicked the cannon so that it was aimed at the enemies, and then quickly pulled the cannon's trigger.

With a deafening roar, smoke billowed from the ship, and a large group of enemies fell to the ground screaming in agony.

“You are no match for me.” With a smile, Wang You spoke in perfect English.

"Wah wah wah. Wah wah wah!" Upon hearing Wang You's words, a burly man landed with a thud. After jumping from the highest point of the warship onto the deck, the man immediately swung the iron hook in his left hand several times.

Under the moonlight, the iron hook on his left hand gleamed coldly, and then he transformed into a black shadow and charged fiercely towards Wang You.

"We're both low-level God-tier experts, but the gap between us is still vast. I'm capable of killing mid-level God-tier experts; you're no match for me." With a casual toss of his submachine gun, Wang You began to emanate bursts of black energy. As the black energy thickened, Wang You transformed into a black shadow and charged towards the burly man.

In the darkness, a ferocious black dragon soared into the sky. The dragon was menacing, looking down upon everything. As it roared at its enemy, the burly man turned pale and collapsed into a pool of blood.

Wang You moved too fast; apart from Tong Jialing'er, no one could see how she made her move. And she, seeing the burly man fall to the ground, had a complicated expression on her face again.

If Wang You could grow for another year, this demon king would probably not be much worse than the little demon king who almost razed Ye Family Manor to the ground.

The Wang family is full of prodigies. Whether in terms of strength or appearance, they are all top-tier geniuses among mortals.

Although she was a mid-level expert at the divine level, she knew she didn't stand much of a chance against Wang You. This was because her specialty was alchemy, not killing.

"12:13, Long Yuan, Long Yun, I'll be waiting for you." Glancing at his watch, Wang You grabbed the burly man and hurled him into the sea. In an instant, the pirates on the enemy ship completely lost their will to fight, staring blankly at their leader falling into the ocean and kneeling on the ground.

Wang You had already aimed both cannons at the enemy ship in the Ula Sea. He was just waiting for Long Yuan and Long Yun to finish off their opponents at the agreed time, and then they would attack the Ula Sea together.

On the other ship, Long Yuan and Long Yun, though both were top-tier fighters, fought a very dangerous battle. While their marksmanship was equally impressive, they lacked the clean and decisive movements of Wang You.

Perhaps out of reluctance, and also because it was their first time fighting, they carried some burdens in their hearts. Seeing a large number of enemies surging towards them, Long Yun hesitated for a moment and nearly got hit. It was Long Yuan who, in a moment of crisis, pulled Long Yun's body, allowing her to dodge a bullet. Seeing the increasing number of enemies on the other side, Long Yuan gritted her teeth and threw a grenade.

Instantly, the enemy screamed in agony, and Long Yuan immediately charged out from behind cover, aiming straight for the enemy general's head. In the enemy ranks, the one in charge was a short, thin man. One of his eyes was covered by a black eyepatch. A fiery red monkey sat on his shoulder. Seeing Long Yuan charging towards him, the thin man casually gave a few instructions and then picked up a glass of red wine for a light sip.

With a whoosh, a huge iron ball suddenly hurtled towards Long Yuan as he charged toward the skinny man. Just as he narrowly dodged the ball, Long Yuan saw a burly man, shirtless, holding the iron ball and disdainfully blocking his way.

Enraged, Long Yuan drew his gleaming sword and slashed at him, shouting, "A mere mid-level martial arts expert dares to look down on me?!"

"Wah wah wah!" The big man said coldly for a few words and then swung the iron ball in his hand at him fiercely again.

"You're asking for death!" Hearing the big man's words, Long Yuan became even angrier.

With a single slash, Long Yuan cleaved the iron ball that was hurtling towards him again. Then, a bloody gash appeared on the burly man's face as he collapsed to the ground.

Enraged by the sight of the burly man's corpse, Long Yuan then glanced at the skinny man in the middle of the enemy ranks. Seeing the treasured sword in Long Yuan's hand, the skinny man showed no fear but instead burst into joy. "Wah-la-la, wah-la-la!"

He meant that this young man was very rich, and the precious sword in his hand was a weapon that could cut through iron like mud. You must capture him quickly; I want to present this precious sword to the chief of Ulahai.

Seeing that the other warship had stopped moving, and that the enemies on that ship were not only unafraid of him but also trying to seize his precious sword, Long Yuan felt both ashamed and furious. He vowed to wipe out all the pirates on that enemy ship.

At that moment, Long Yun had already taken out his submachine gun and quickly knocked down a group of enemies. Then he ran to Long Yuan's side and showed him his watch. "Brother, it's time. We're late."

"We are inferior to the princes of the royal family; there is still a great gap between us." A sigh escaped his lips. Suddenly, Long Yuan ran to the side of the ship and aimed a cannon at the Ula Sea warship. "That's it, fire!"

With a deafening roar, the two warships beside Ula Hai's main ship simultaneously opened fire. A massive explosion erupted, and the entire warship was instantly reduced to ashes. A large group of his men screamed as they were sent flying high into the air before crashing to the ground. Ula Hai dispersed the ashes, angrily looking to his left and right. "Those brats from the Wang and Long families actually killed my men?"

"Chief Anu, quickly order men to build a siege ladder, we're going to their aid!"

"Yes!" Ula Hai's deputy nodded immediately, then ordered men to erect ladders on both sides of the warships. Instantly, a large number of martial arts experts rushed towards Long Yuan and Wang You's ship.

Through my binoculars, I saw that Wang You and Long Yuan had successfully disrupted the enemy's battle formation. They had stopped firing their cannons at us and ceased attacking the civilians on our ships. Wang You had already used a makeshift ladder to rush onto Wu La Hai's warship and was engaged in fierce combat with him. At that moment, I was overjoyed, knowing that I would have a grand gift to show off on the day I married Xi'er.

Just then, a small group of frogmen from the opposing enemy climbed onto our cruise ship. Leading Yellow Dog and Long Yuan's men, I quickly defeated them and then glanced across the water through my binoculars. "Yellow Dog," I said, "we're almost there. Go tell the women and noblemen on board not to come up on deck. Hide and wait for us to return for our celebratory ball."

"Brother Xi, can I order them around? Our ship is full of big stars, internet celebrities, and aristocratic kids. Do you think they'll listen to me and not run up to the deck?" Huang Gou was a little unsure.

"Your gun is your bargaining chip!" My gaze turned cold as I patted the gun in the yellow dog's hand.

"Yes, if they don't listen to me, scare them! Hehe, on this high seas, whoever has a gun is the boss!" Yellow Dog was overjoyed and immediately ran into the boat to show off.

As I watched Wang You being surrounded by a large group of people, yet breaking through the enemy's formation to fight his way out, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine for him. At that moment, Tong Jia Ling'er also rushed over to help. Transforming into a white blur, Tong Jia Ling'er slashed a bloody gash into Wula Hai's body with her sword. Seeing Wula Hai injured, I was overjoyed.

Just then, a loud bang came from the giant cruise ship we were on. Then, the entire ship began to shake violently.

I nearly fell into the sea, and quickly grabbed the railing, shouting to Long Yuan's men, "What happened? Have we been infiltrated by enemies?"

"Your Highness, this is impossible! We are guarding the entrance to the deck. How could an enemy have infiltrated the giant ship?!" Long Yuan's eldest subordinate hurriedly said to me.

"What's going on?" I looked at Long Yuan's eldest brother in surprise, my eyes flickering uncertainly.

"It's an inside man! He blew up our cruise ship's central control system with a bomb!" The captain suddenly ran towards us, his face covered in sweat.

"What!?" I was completely shocked by the captain's words.

"Your Highness, our ship is sinking!" The captain looked at me with a face full of grief.

As soon as the captain finished speaking, the entire giant cruise ship rocked violently once more. Then it began to capsize to one side, and a large group of beautiful women and noblemen rushed aboard...
