My Arrogant Young Lady

“Alright, let’s rest a bit tonight and pay our respects to the Empress Dowager tomorrow. Brother, are you going to learn formations from Leng Yan and Han Xin?” An Yao asked me.

"Yes, they are waiting for me." I nodded gently.

"Go quickly. Don't be late for getting home tomorrow," An Yao said to me.

"it is good."

After hearing An Yao's words, I glanced longingly at Xi'er, who was sitting upright. Xi'er had changed out of her finery and was now wearing a simple home dress, looking no different from an ordinary girl. However, her figure still exuded an air of nobility, and her delicate body remained alluring. Since we couldn't share a room on our very first night together, I quietly gazed into Xi'er's bright eyes, which seemed to be expecting something.

"Go on, we'll be together forever." Xi'er understood what I meant, and came over to give me a gentle kiss on the cheek.

When Xi'er gently kissed me on the cheek, Wang Huan's eyes immediately lit up with joy, and he cried out. Wang You's eyes held a hint of helplessness, while the faces of his three younger sisters, An Yao, Wang Che, and Liu Li, flushed slightly. Everyone knew what my marriage to Xi'er meant; from now on, if the two of us shared a room, there would definitely be some subtle sounds coming from inside.

The brothers present couldn't wait to eavesdrop on the sounds coming from my room with Xi'er on our first night.

Xi'er is a dragon, and so am I. The sound of two dragons uniting must surely make them blush and their hearts race.

"Go ahead." Xi'er saw that I was still a little reluctant, so she took my hand and shook it gently a few times, then looked at me with a blushing face.

"Okay!" I nodded, put on my coat, and left.

Having a wife also means greater responsibilities for me. From now on, I no longer represent myself, but me, Xi'er, and our Wang and Ye families.

I must become strong. I can no longer be protected by others. I must become strong to protect Xi'er and our two families.

As night deepened, Leng Yan and Han Xin had been waiting for me for quite some time. Knowing that today was my wedding day, Han Xin smiled and asked when he saw me, "Have I disturbed your plans?"

“No…” I said.

Upon hearing my words, a subtle expression appeared on Han Xin's face. He already knew I was captivated by Xi'er's beauty and had already made the effort to do *that* with her. However, Han Xin appeared beside me, gently stroking my head and saying, "Time flies. In the blink of an eye, you've grown up. And today you can finally marry and have children, which can be considered a great relief to some of us old folks."

Han Xin doesn't look old at all. Although he's in his forties, he looks no different from a young man. My master, Leng Yan, is the same; he looks only in his early thirties. He exudes a cold and mysterious aura, a quality that many young women adore.

An Yao, there was something special in her eyes when she saw her master.

Leng Yan couldn't help but frown slightly at this moment. He noticed the somewhat ambiguous look in my eyes as I gazed at him, and frowned slightly as he said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Master, I think you're so handsome, more handsome than many celebrities." I stared at him blankly for a long time, my eyes involuntarily turning into admiration.

"How dare you! Do you think we men rely on our looks to make a living? Get rid of that lewd look and calm down to learn formations from us properly," Leng Yan said, frowning slightly.

"Yes!" Knowing that Leng Yan was stubborn but soft-hearted, and extremely fond of me, I couldn't help but smile and held Leng Yan's arm tightly.

"You silly child..." Leng Yan smiled helplessly when she saw how close I was to him.

"Xi'er, have you learned any martial arts related to formations?" Han Xin suddenly asked, taking out the jade flute from my body.

"Yes, I got my hands on a snake manual, and I found it very interesting, so I secretly learned some of the methods from it," I said.

"Oh? Let me see your snake manual." Han Xin became somewhat interested.

“Uncle Han Xin, because that Snake Manual is old and easily damaged, I didn’t carry it with me. But I remember every page of the score clearly, and I can show you the skills in the Snake Manual,” I said.

"Alright, then show us the martial arts techniques from the Snake Manual." Han Xin handed me the jade flute and smiled.

Taking the jade flute, I nodded slightly to Han Xin and said, "Uncle Han Xin, then I apologize for offending you."

As soon as I finished speaking, I picked up the jade flute and began to play softly. This was my territory; I was going home tomorrow, and I had gathered all the venomous snakes I had collected over the past few months in this area, including my king cobra.

As the flute began to play, the atmosphere around us instantly turned sinister. A chilling aura emanated from us, gradually filling the entire building with a cold wind. And as my flute playing changed from gentle to urgent, a black venomous snake suddenly shot straight at Han Xin and Leng Yan.

"Alright!" Han Xin nodded slightly as he dodged the venomous snake.

Gradually, a dense hissing sound filled the air around us. Large and small venomous snakes crawled all over the building and surrounded Han Xin and Leng Yan.

At this moment, Han Xin and Leng Yan's expressions turned somewhat solemn. They looked at the thousands of venomous snakes that had gathered around them, some of which, fed with high-grade venom, had even grown combs. Han Xin, his eyes fixed on the snakes that seemed ready to attack them at any moment, said, "This is a type of formation, different from the illusionary formations we create with true energy. It's a relatively inferior physical formation. Although this formation can trap even a god-level expert, the cost is too high. Raising so many venomous snakes must have taken a great deal of effort from Xi'er."

“That’s right, this formation requires money to maintain. But if a dragon king were to be in charge of this formation, then it could be considered perfect.” Leng Yan nodded gently.

However, no sooner had Leng Yan finished speaking than the building we were in began to shake slightly. To our surprise, a foul stench wafted in, and a giant black snake suddenly smashed through the window and lunged at the two of them.

"It's a dragon! And it even ate a thousand-year-old corpse heart!" When Han Xin saw the giant black serpent with its mouth full of black mist and its body covered in fine golden scales, his expression changed drastically, and he leaped high into the air.

The King Serpent, with the intelligence of a five-year-old child, only showed slight favor to Wang Che, besides me. When I played my flute, it sensed the powerful aura emanating from Han Xin and Leng Yan. It prejudicially assumed they were my enemies and immediately exhaled a thick cloud of black mist, driving them away.

While airborne, Han Xin was even more alarmed when he saw the King Serpent spewing out a mouthful of black mist and opening its blood-stained maw. As the King Serpent sped up and was about to swallow him whole, Han Xin quickly used his left foot to step on his right foot and gently flipped over, narrowly dodging the King Serpent's attack and mounting its back.

As the king serpent roared and its massive body writhed, trying to writhe Han Xin off, Han Xin immediately said to me, "Xi'er, quickly subdue your Dragon King! This Dragon King is too ferocious; I can't subdue it without injuring it!"

"Alright!" I nodded lightly and quickly played the flute. In an instant, the snakes scattered, and the king snake shook Han Xin off, swam to my side, and spewed a huge cloud of black mist at them.

The black mist was immediately dispelled. Leng Yan frowned and nodded slightly. "Not bad. This black dragon is well-bred. It actually ate the heart of a thousand-year-old zombie that I captured, and also consumed a lot of precious medicinal herbs. If we can find some more treasures to properly nurture it, this black dragon will definitely be able to compete with experts above the gods."

“Even now, we would have to pay a price to kill it. This Dragon King is highly poisonous, and I'm afraid many top-tier experts at the divine level would not be its match.” Han Xin nodded slightly.

After Han Xin and Leng Yan examined the King Serpent again, Han Xin's eyes suddenly lit up with admiration as he looked at me. "Xi'er, you're quite good. You've already mastered such a skill. Your master and I are close friends, and we've been studying formations for many years. If we can develop a formation suitable for you tonight, then when you face enemies in the future, with the Dragon King's immense power combined with the illusions created by the formation, I think you could even contend with a master above the gods."

"Leng Yan, why don't we develop a formation for your good disciple right now?" Han Xin said, then looked at Leng Yan.

“Alright, that’s why I invited you here.” Leng Yan smiled and immediately spread out a sheet of white paper to calculate something.

After a night, Leng Yan and Han Xin had hastily handwritten a set of formations for me. Then, they handed me two ancient books, and Leng Yan gently embraced me, saying earnestly, “These three manuals are: one is an enhanced version of your Snake Formation, one is the basics of formations, and the other is our sect’s Qi cultivation method. You are already a mid-level martial arts master, and true Qi has begun to grow within your body. To help you quickly become a martial arts master, I have always taught you external techniques. This sect’s Qi cultivation method and the basics of formations are our wedding gifts to you and Xi’er. Teach this Qi cultivation method to your wife, and you will cultivate it diligently to strengthen your foundations. When your true Qi gathers to a certain level, you two will naturally break through and become god-level masters.”

"I will not attend your Wang family's wedding. Cherish your wife and bring glory to your Wang family!" With a smile, Leng Yan suddenly disappeared before my eyes.

"Wang Xi, don't waste the fortune your parents gave you. If you betray your parents and your beloved wife, I, Han Xin, will never let you off!" With a smile, Han Xin turned into a wisp of mist and disappeared before my eyes.

They've left, but the aura of power they left behind remains. They certainly left on foot, but they were too fast and my strength was too weak to see how they departed.

A god-level master? I actually have a chance to become a god-level master? Just one glance at the three precious gifts they left for me made me quite excited.

After Leng Yan and Han Xin left, I should also bid farewell to the Empress Dowager and prepare to go home. I took my beloved wife Xi'er and my younger siblings to revisit the Ye Family Manor. I saw that the Ye Family Manor had removed the red lanterns and the "double happiness" character, and it had become as deserted as before.

I knelt before the Empress Dowager, offered her tea, and said, "Mother, we are returning to the Wang family."

Taking the teacup that Xi'er and I offered, the Empress Dowager's beautiful eyes fixed on something flickering in Xi'er's eyes. Her husband had passed away, and her only beloved daughter was about to be taken away by me.

The Empress Dowager gazed at Xi'er for a long time, then gently touched her temples with her slender fingers and closed her eyes, appearing slightly saddened. She then called to Old Gu of Tongjia beside her, saying, "Let them go. It's a girl; she'll be given away sooner or later anyway. Have the four maids, Chunxia, ​​Qiudong, and others, accompany her in her dowry; they'll become members of the Wang family too. Also, send someone to fetch Tongjia Ling'er; she can marry into the Wang family as well."

"Mother, are you going to marry Tong Jia Ling'er into our Wang family as well?" I was slightly shocked when I heard the Empress Dowager's words.

"She has protected you for over a decade; let her continue to protect you. Have breakfast and leave quickly; my heart is in turmoil..." The Empress Dowager gently wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye, stood up, and walked listlessly upstairs...

Chapter 264 Going Home

The term "dowry" carries a special meaning. So, what exactly does "dowry" mean?

This means that Tong Jia Ling'er and Chun Xia Qiu Dong, like the gifts the Ye family gave us in return, will be forever given to our Wang family by the Empress Dowager. And since Xi'er married me, the gifts her Ye family gave us in return will naturally also be mine. And Tong Jia Ling'er and Chun Xia Qiu Dong, they will also be mine from now on.

The Ye family was a feudal family, and they had long since become indifferent to the idea of ​​men having multiple wives and concubines. Xi'er married me, and they, like Xi'er, married me. Their task from then on was to protect my safety and attend to my daily needs. Even, when Xi'er was unwell, they would care for me like a wife would care for her husband.

Thinking about this, a strange feeling crept into my heart. Could it be that the Empress Dowager knows my feelings for Tong Jia Ling'er?

My mother-in-law. She's so good to me.

Looking back now, I realize how foolish I was to argue with the Empress Dowager. Damn, Xi'er's mother treated me even better than my own mother!

The Empress Dowager moved me so much that I almost cried.

However, it's definitely not good for me to show interest in Xi'er's cousin so soon after we got married. I need to control myself and remain indifferent to all beautiful women except Xi'er.

Tong Jia Ling'er and Chun Xia Qiu Dong's status is already quite clear. Chun Xia Qiu Dong are adopted daughters of the Ye family. They are Xi'er's maids, serving us with our daily needs. Tong Jia Ling'er, on the other hand, is the Empress Dowager's niece, Xi'er's cousin, and our bodyguard.

Tong Jialing'er married me along with Xi'er, but she's only responsible for my safety; she's not necessarily responsible for my other needs. Other members of our Wang family have taken a liking to Tong Jialing'er, and as long as I haven't married her, they all have the right to propose to her.

Simply put, Tong Jia Ling'er married me physically, but not physically. If something happened between me and Tong Jia Ling'er, everyone would look down on me. I can like other people, but I can't like Xi'er's cousin. That's a moral issue; if I really got together with Xi'er's cousin, everyone would condemn me.

Just like An Yao and me, I can like An Yao and be with her. But if we actually got together, my parents would definitely kill me.

Throughout breakfast, my eyes were constantly darting towards Tong Jialing'er. She had already returned to the Ye family and was feeling much better after a night's rest. She was just as dark-skinned as me and looked a bit haggard. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that I had been with Tong Jialing'er during my days of disappearance at sea.

We survived for six days in extreme water shortage; there must have been some story behind it.

I gave her my first kiss, and I even took advantage of Tong Jia Ling'er a lot. When she noticed me staring at her, she kicked me hard. It meant she wanted everyone to know what happened between us.

Seeing that Tong Jialing'er was angry, I quickly stopped looking at her. Then I continued eating with my head down, noticing that my senior brother was glaring at me with a jealous look.

After breakfast, Tong Jialing'er immediately took the opportunity to say to me, "I hope you won't talk about what happened at sea. If possible, let's just pretend nothing happened."

“Big Cousin, you’re really delusional. My wife is so beautiful. Much prettier than you, a black man. Do you think I would like you?” I immediately asked in a flippant tone.

"Get lost!" Tong Jialing'er was so angry that her chest tightened, and she pinched me hard. Then, she stared at me with her bright eyes for a moment and then smiled irritably.

"Your smile is so beautiful. I'll talk to Xi'er about taking you as a concubine." I was attracted by Tong Jia Ling'er's beautiful appearance.

"Get lost!" Tong Jialing'er shoved me hard again, then ignored me.

She knew I was joking; I needed to think carefully before telling Xi'er this. At least, before I had absolute power, I absolutely couldn't reveal my feelings for Tong Jia Ling'er. Otherwise, I might be seized upon by despicable people and severely implicated.

My position as heir apparent might be in jeopardy.

I deliberately concealed my feelings for Tong Jialing'er, and our relationship returned to normal. She ignored me, and I would deliberately tease her and provoke her. Meanwhile, the four young maids, Chunxia, ​​Qiudong, and others, packed their things, preparing to continue taking care of Xi'er and me after arriving at the Wang family.

The private jet is ready, and we're about to leave. Before leaving, I specifically told the kind person who was seeing me off, "There's a girl named Chen Sisi, and I owe her a month's worth of Manchu Han Imperial Feasts. After I'm gone, please treat her to a month's worth of Manchu Han Imperial Feasts for me."

"Is it pretty?" the kind-hearted man grinned lewdly.

"See for yourself," I laughed, then prepared to board the plane.

But just as we were about to board the plane, Wang Huan's henchman, Viper, immediately ran over to me and started snarling. My foreign language skills aren't great, so after listening to Viper, I asked her, "Did you find another very large venomous snake around here?"

"Idiot, she means your King Snake refuses to board the plane," Tong Jialing said coldly behind me.

"What?" I looked at Tong Jialing'er in surprise. I quickly took Xi'er to see my king cobra.

Sure enough, the king cobra was causing trouble in the cargo hold. No matter how Wang Che tried to persuade it, or how Si Du tried to lure it with food, the king cobra refused to get on the plane. It seemed afraid. Or perhaps it distrusted the airplane. Even when I ordered it, the king cobra wouldn't come with us onto the plane.

Instead, it straightened its body high and spat out a huge cloud of black mist at me, letting out a strange howl. It looked extremely fierce, and it didn't even recognize me, its older brother.

“Brother, this King Snake has developed human-like intelligence. It has an instinctive fear of airplanes, and even if we injure it, it refuses to board the plane. If we can't bring it on the plane, we'll have to have Five Poisons take it to the Golden Triangle on land. But this King Snake is proud. It won't follow anyone but you. I didn't expect this King Snake to act up at such a crucial moment…” Everything was ready, and An Yao seemed a little anxious when she saw that the King Snake refused to board the plane.

Seeing that Kingcopter was afraid of the plane, I felt both angry and heartbroken. Even Fire Monkey got on the plane. This powerful Kingcopter was even inferior to Fire Monkey.

After thinking for a moment, I lit a cigarette and said helplessly, "Why don't you guys take a plane back first? I'll take the Kingsnake and head overland to the Golden Triangle. The Kingsnake moves very fast. It'll take about a month to get there."

“Brother, Wang She is your asset in fighting against experts above the god level. We definitely can't leave Wang She here. Why don't we leave first, leaving Xi'er with you? You and Xi'er just got married. It'll be good for you to be alone together. Hopefully, by the time you reach the Golden Triangle, Young Master Xi'er will already be carrying a dragon child for our Wang family.” Wang You was sensible; he knew that if Wang She refused to board the plane, he definitely couldn't travel with everyone. So he made a little joke, smiling at his sister-in-law who was blushing.

"That's the only way. You guys go first, Xi'er and I will accompany Wang She slowly." I said, holding Xi'er's little hand.

"This damned beast, I might as well stay and keep Brother Xi company!" Young Master Bao got angry and kicked Wang She hard.

However, the king cobra was enraged that Young Master Bao had kicked it. It opened its blood-spitting maw and swallowed Young Master Bao whole.

"Holy crap!" Seeing that the King Snake had actually swallowed Young Master Bao, Black Dragon, Runtu, and Lu Zhicheng were all terrified and turned pale.

"King Snake, why do you eat everything? Spit Young Master Bao out right now!" I quickly shouted at King Snake.
