My Arrogant Young Lady

Thinking of this, anger gradually rose in the man's eyes.

Chapter 270 The Good Guy VS Wang Yuebai

"Yehenara Xier." Late at night, as Xier and I returned laden with our spoils, a strange voice came from behind us.

That night, a triad boss sent his henchmen to win twenty-seven consecutive games. That same night, Xi'er and I also won over twenty million from one million thanks to that triad boss's henchmen.

Upon hearing someone call out Xi'er's name, Xi'er instinctively turned around. We were surprised; who could possibly recognize us in such an unfamiliar town?

However, when we turned around, all we saw was a strange man. He was pale and wore black sunglasses. He wore a white suit jacket over a floral shirt, equally crisp white trousers, and gleaming black leather shoes.

The man was young, probably around thirty years old. He had a very refined air about him, and unconsciously exuded a regal presence.

On the middle finger of his right hand, a dazzling gold dragon head ring shone brightly. The ring was clearly made of pure gold, and two valuable rubies were set in the dragon's eyes.

It was clear that this man was an important figure. However, after Xi'er and I frowned and stared at him for a while, we realized that neither of us recognized him.

"Haha, you really are Xi'er. You really are Tongjia Yudie's daughter. I never expected to see you here. Xi'er, how is your mother doing lately?" Seeing Xi'er instinctively turn around, the man was certain that this girl was Xi'er. Even if she didn't admit it, he wouldn't believe she wasn't Tongjia Yudie's daughter. Because... she looked so much like Tongjia Yudie.

Upon seeing his old friend's daughter, he couldn't help but feel increasingly excited.

"Elder, may I ask who you are?" The man recognized her, but she didn't recognize him. Seeing that the man and her mother seemed to know each other well, Xi'er politely gave the man a slight bow.

"This is royal etiquette." The man nodded slightly as he saw Xi'er bow to him.

"Uncle, are you from the Long family?" Xi'er asked.

"Heh, you think I look like someone from the Long family?" Thinking of the Long family, whom he had utterly defeated over a decade ago and who had since submitted to him, the man's lips curled into a proud smile.

"Then you are from the Bai family?" Xi'er asked.

"Of course I'm not a member of the Bai family either. Among the four major families in the country—Long, Bai, Kong, and Wang—the Long family is the most powerful. The Bai family is far less powerful than the Long family." The man smiled.

"So, who are you?" Seeing that the man looked down on the Long and Bai families, Xi'er became suspicious.

"I'm like an uncle to you, a good friend of your mother. Your mother and I have a very good relationship; we're best friends."

The man hesitated for a moment, then decided it was best not to reveal his identity. After all, he had been tracking Aurora for almost three years. Just now, he had spotted Aurora's princess, Xuanwu (one of Aurora's four leaders), and Baihu (White Tiger). Besides them, there must be many other Aurora members in the town. As a sophisticated criminal organization, Aurora must have numerous informants in this area. If he revealed his name, Aurora would scatter like birds, and his three years of effort would be in vain.

Moreover, even though he considered Tong Jia Yudie his best friend, she still saw him as her enemy. Even though he had done much for her, she wouldn't appreciate his efforts. The man she loved was the noble Yehenara. If she misunderstood him, thinking he was deliberately trying to get close to her daughter, it might only make her dislike him even more.

But why is Xi'er in this small town in the Northwest? And who is the dark-skinned boy beside her?

This town is the largest underground boxing town in the entire Northwest. Every year, a large number of top fighters come here to compete and win prize money. Every year, a large number of wealthy people also come here to watch the matches, spending lavishly for the thrill. They also take the opportunity to scout out some top fighters and recruit them as bodyguards.

Could it be that Xi'er simply came here for a visit? And is the dark-skinned boy beside her just a bodyguard for the Ye family?

But if he's a bodyguard, isn't this boy a bit weak? Given the Ye family's power, how could they possibly send such a pathetic figure as a mid-level martial arts expert as a bodyguard? Besides, this boy was just hugging and kissing Xi'er so intimately. Damn it, Xi'er is his future…

Thinking of this, the man's expression turned cold as he looked at me. I felt uncomfortable under his cold gaze.

It was obvious that this man had a strong liking for Xi'er, but he was full of hostility towards me. It was as if I had stolen his wife. He disliked me and wanted to beat me up.

But this Xi'er is my lawfully wedded wife. He has the right to look at me like that, what right does he have to dislike me? If he dislikes me, I'd rather beat him up.

Think back to how intimately the man spoke to Xi'er earlier, and the expression on his face when he deliberately kept his name hidden. Could it be that this man has taken a liking to Xi'er? After all, Xi'er is beautiful, and her looks are top-notch. We've already gotten into trouble because of Xi'er on this journey, and those furtive glances directed at her have attracted quite a few attention.

Looking at the man's clothes again, he's already quite old, yet he's still wearing a white suit and a floral shirt. This man seems a bit sleazy.

This guy's a seasoned veteran; he's definitely not a good person.

Thinking of this, I immediately glared at the man, then quickly took Xi'er's hand and said, "Xi'er, it's almost two o'clock, I'm too sleepy, let's go back to sleep."

The moment the man saw me take Xi'er's small, white hand, his eyes flashed with anger again. I had only taken a few steps with Xi'er when the man appeared before us.

"Damn. He's actually a god-level expert!" Seeing that this man knew exquisite movement techniques and had trained to be extremely fast, I immediately drew my jade flute and swung it at him fiercely.

"This belongs to my Wang family. Where did you get this jade flute from?" With a slight movement, the man grabbed my jade flute, his expression becoming even colder.

"I stole this!" Having already determined that this man meant no harm and was no good, I didn't listen to him much. With a roar, I kicked him hard.

"Heh, this jade flute was a birthday gift I gave to Viper, the leader of Wang Huan's Five Poison Boys. It's made of a special material; it can't be cut by a knife or burned by fire. How dare you, you little punk, steal my birthday gift to Viper?" the man sneered. He caught my kick and gently pushed it towards me. Then, he delivered a powerful back kick to me from mid-air.

Although it's just an ordinary move, it's a different story when it comes from a master of god-level skill.

As the man delivered a powerful back kick to me, I felt a thick black aura emanating from his leg. This black aura then transformed into a giant black dragon, its jaws gaping wide as it spat blood at me.

People all possess an aura, and the higher one's martial arts level, the stronger that aura becomes. For example, when the Empress Dowager is angry, one feels as if a fiery phoenix emanates from her, surveying the world with dominance. When Leng Yan is angry, his aura creates an illusion, making one see a solitary, cold black swallow shrieking at people.

This middle-aged man's aura could conjure up a black dragon, making it seem as if his entire body was being possessed by one. This man's status must be extraordinary. He even claimed to be a member of the Wang family, and said that my jade flute was a birthday gift he gave to Poisonous Snake, one of Wang Huan's subordinates.

By now, I knew many members of the Wang family. This middle-aged man claimed to be from the Wang family, yet he still attacked me. Could he be Wang Yuebai, a powerful minister in my family? Did he know I was traveling by land to the Wang family and was he waiting here to ambush me?

Wang Yuebai, he's Wang Huan's father. He's over forty years old, yet he still has such a fancy name. And since his name contains the character "bai" (白), and this middle-aged man is wearing a white suit, it must be him!

Thinking of this, I quickly used the movement technique Leng Yan taught me to dodge. Then, I glared hatefully at the middle-aged man and said, "Old fool, I see you're too old to bother with you. If we were to truly fight, you might not be my match. There are many people in this town. Do you want to force me?"

Heh, as expected of some young masters from wealthy families. No wonder he had the audacity to try and seduce the Ye family's princess.

Thinking this, the man wasn't in a hurry to attack. He curled his lip in disdain, casually pulled out a cigarette, and lit it. "Kid, dare you tell me which family you're from?"

Hearing the man's words, I was startled. I thought to myself, "Doesn't he know who I am?"

If that's the case, then my situation will be much safer.

Thinking of this, I also took out a cigarette and lit it. "The Hao family, the little good guys, ever heard of them?"

"So you're Hao Yifang's son. No wonder you're so bold. You actually dared to pursue a girl from my Ye family." The man's expression instantly turned cold.

"Yeah, I'm a nice guy, what can you do to me? If you're not happy, come with me out of town?" I glanced at the few tourists sitting some distance away drinking, and thought it best not to summon the King Serpent to scare them. Once I've led you to a secluded spot, I'll see how I deal with you.

"Alright, this place is too crowded and noisy. Let's find a quieter spot and see how I deal with you." The man sneered, and we looked at each other as we slowly walked out of town.

When we reached the edge of town, Xi'er whispered to me, "Brother Xi, this middle-aged man is so annoying. He actually dared to cause you trouble. I'll teach him a lesson for you."

"Yeah, I've given him too much face. I'll see how I deal with King Snake when I get him." My eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man, and I felt an indescribable hatred in my heart.

I thought to myself, "He's so old, yet he's only a god-level expert. And it's one thing for him to be a god-level expert, but he's actually bullying a young guy like me."

Today, I don't care if you're Wang Yuebai or whoever you are, I'm going to teach you a lesson!

Once I made up my mind, I immediately and gently waved the jade flute. Then I placed it under my lips and softly began to play the tune to summon the King Serpent.

The man, seeing me playing the flute, sneered, "You actually stole the snake formation manual I brought from Miao territory? I know that when you play the flute, many snakes will appear. Come on, let's see how big a snake you can find to deal with me."

"Fine, then I'll show you!" I sneered.

Instantly, the ground beneath our feet began to shake. As the earth trembled, the middle-aged man's expression changed slightly as he looked at me.

At that moment, a huge rift opened in the ground beneath our feet, and a massive black serpent spewed out a thick black mist carrying a large amount of soil, shooting into the sky before opening its blood-spitting maw and viciously swallowing the man...

Chapter 271 Cheng Kun, the Primordial Thunderbolt Hand

"Holy crap, what a huge snake!" Upon seeing the giant snake I summoned from the ground, the man's expression changed drastically, and his voice trembled. He let out a loud roar, quickly retreated, and then turned and ran in terror.

Seeing the man's cowardly behavior, I immediately laughed. I thought he was some kind of big shot; his skills were mediocre, but his pretentious attitude was quite unique.

Just then, Leng Yan and Han Xin taught me a formation related to snakes. Let me show you the formation I just learned, so you'll know that showing off comes at a price.

Thinking of this, the melody on the jade flute in my hand began to change.

At that moment, wisps of black mist gradually spread from all directions around us. The mist grew thicker and thicker, enveloping the middle-aged man being chased by the king cobra.

Then, I saw the middle-aged man take off his sunglasses, and his eyes widened in surprise as he looked at me. He then threw the sunglasses away violently and started grabbing and tossing them around in the air.

Just as Leng Yan was teaching me this formation, she asked me a question, "Xi'er, do you know what cultivation is?"

Shaking my head, I said to Leng Yan, "Master, I don't understand."

"When I became a master above all gods, I didn't understand what the term 'cultivation of immortality' really meant. But as I comprehended some realms above the gods, I gradually came to understand the meaning of the term 'cultivation of immortality'."

"Of course, there are no immortals in this world, only martial arts that resemble those of immortals. We can call this martial arts cultivation, or we can call it cultivation of truth. And no matter what skill we practice—martial arts, Taoist arts, formations, alchemy, or magic—in the end, we find that we are all walking the same path. It's just that some of us walk on a smooth, wide road, while others walk on a narrow, winding path. We arrive at the same destination through different paths. It turns out that we are all walking the path of cultivation of immortality."

If there truly are immortals in this world, then that immortal would be Zhang Zhenren, the founder of the Wudang School hundreds of years ago. He did not know how to summon wind and rain, nor how to ride the clouds, but his martial arts had reached the pinnacle of human skill. According to historical research, he was 218 years old when he passed away.

Tong Jia Lao Gu is 79 years old this year. Because of his martial arts practice, he has not aged at all. On the contrary, after becoming a master above all gods, he feels that his spirit is getting better year by year. There is a true energy forming a core within his body. If he forms an inner core, his martial arts will break through to a new level.

As for the formations I learned from Leng Yan, they are just another path to the same destination in the cultivation world. Formations are not martial arts, but they can be called martial arts. However, if I can master formations as skillfully as Leng Yan and Han Xin, even if my opponent is a master above the gods, I can trap them with formations, or even kill them.

Now, the middle-aged man who was hostile to me is trapped by my formation. Within the thick black mist around him, endless illusions have sprung up. They are all kinds of venomous snakes with colorful patterns, now flicking their red tongues to pounce and bite him.

Even though he knew those venomous snakes were fake, illusions created by the array I had set up, they seemed so real to him. When they flew onto his body, he still felt a chill. He dared not let the snakes attack him; he could only trap himself within my grand array and fight them desperately.

The mystery of this formation that Leng Yan gave me lies in the fact that there is a real snake within it. If he is attacked by the illusion within the formation, he will only suffer mental torment. But if he is poisoned by the thousand-year-old zombie venom of my king snake, his physical body will likely also suffer greatly.

As the king cobra spat out venomous mist at him, his figure instantly vanished into thin air, dodging the mist. Where he had just disappeared, a scorched mark, resembling that of a raging fire, was immediately left behind.

He appeared behind the King Serpent, glanced at the charred marks on the ground and frowned. "Such potent venom, comparable to the poison of a thousand-year-old zombie."

"Surrender now, and I'll spare your life!" I said smugly, lighting a cigarette.

"Heh, do you think I'd be afraid of your little snake formation?" The middle-aged man sneered, his figure disappearing into thin air once again.

Seeing the middle-aged man being beaten so badly by me, while I stood aside looking completely at ease, my sense of superiority over him immediately became apparent.

Since I learned my skills, I haven't had a chance to show off. My younger siblings have always protected me, and I've been responsible for keeping quiet. Now, seeing that I'm about to personally defeat a god-level expert, I smiled at Xi'er beside me and said, "Wife, this middle-aged man is a bit indecent. He's clearly old, yet he still talks like us young people. And he's wearing a floral shirt; he looks incredibly flamboyant. This formation of mine was something Master Leng Yan and Uncle Han Xin spent all night figuring out and researching for me. Don't think that this old scoundrel is a god-level expert; even if he were a master above the gods, he might not be my match. This old bastard needs to be taught a lesson; he's no good. Watch how I teach this old scoundrel a lesson."

“Yes, this senior is indeed a bit strange. He clearly knows my mother, but he won’t tell me his name. This person might be an enemy of the Ye family. We should teach him a lesson.” Xi’er nodded gently.

"Hehe, this old bastard never dreamed that we, with only the strength of a mid-level martial arts master, would have the power to defeat a master above the gods. I'll have Wang She teach him a lesson, and he'll be begging for mercy from us in a bit."

At this point, I immediately said to King Snake, "King Snake, don't hold back, teach him a lesson!"

The King Serpent could understand my words. Upon hearing them, it immediately let out a deafening roar, and the black mist it exhaled grew even thicker. Its body was already enormous, and it possessed the ability to contend with a top-tier god-level expert. With my array combined with the King Serpent's formidable physique, it could practically be called the overlord of this place.

As the middle-aged man's body vanished rapidly, the king cobra's body also suddenly disappeared just as quickly. Then, a ripple appeared in the air, and the king cobra violently blasted the middle-aged man out of thin air.

All that could be seen was the middle-aged man landing on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Then the king cobra opened its blood-spitting maw and slammed into him with tremendous force.

I felt a sudden tremor, and then I saw the middle-aged man running towards us from the dust and dirt.

Seeing the middle-aged man running towards us, I immediately picked up my jade flute and began to play rapidly. In that instant, a thick wall of snakes appeared before him, countless venomous snakes spitting out poisonous gas as they flew towards him. The middle-aged man, his eyes filled with panic, retreated quickly, when suddenly a thick black aura emanated from his body, transforming into a ferocious black dragon.

"Break!" the middle-aged man roared, and the entire dragon crashed violently into my snake wall.

At that moment, I felt a tightness in my chest and couldn't help but cough up blood. Then, I glanced at the middle-aged man in fear, grabbed Xi'er's hand, and turned to run. "This man is actually a master above the gods, and not just any master! He actually shattered my Illusionary Serpent Formation with a single punch!"

"Heh, you do have good eyesight!" The middle-aged man's figure vanished quickly into thin air, transforming into a cloud of black mist that hurtled towards us.

"Drink!" I could feel the middle-aged man about to grab me when the king snake suddenly appeared behind us and bit a wisp of black mist behind us.

The black mist was instantly lifted high by the king cobra, and the middle-aged man appeared in its mouth. He hadn't expected the king cobra to bite his leg; his face instantly turned ashamed and furious. He clenched his fist and punched the king cobra's head hard, yelling, "Beast! Get out of here!"

With this punch, the man slammed the king cobra from mid-air to the ground. But after being injured by the man, the king cobra quickly exhaled a breath of black gas.
