My Arrogant Young Lady

"Heh, you think you have the right to insult my brother, Wang Xi?" I retorted immediately after hearing Wang Xiaojiu's words.

"..." Hearing my words, Wang Xiaojiu was immediately annoyed. Because she really had no right to insult my brother.

"Are all the men in the Wang family dead? How did you become the strongest in the Wang family?" I sneered.

“Your Highness, you can’t say that. If it weren’t for your Wang Yu’s exceptional talent, the strongest person in your Wang family would probably be Liuli.” Little Good Guy immediately said to me.

“That’s true…” I frowned as I thought of Liuli’s terrifying talent.

"Hypocrite, you have no right to criticize my Wang family!" Wang Xiaojiu cursed.

"Heh, you'll soon find out whether I'm qualified or not," I said coldly.

I released Wang Xiaojiu's pressure points, and then took her to see Li Guanghui. Just as I released Li Guanghui's pressure points and tied her up with rope, she immediately started cursing at me in Korean.

As for Wang Xiaojiu, she came from a prestigious family and studied abroad from a young age. Naturally, she could understand the language Li Guanghui spoke.

After listening to my conversation with Li Guanghui with a frown, Wang Xiaojiu immediately realized that she had wronged an innocent person.

Although Wang Xiaojiu's name was unpleasant, she was undeniably beautiful. She was slender with delicate features. Especially striking was the faint red tinge around her eyes, like carefully applied light makeup. Her body went limp, and Wang Xiaojiu immediately bit her lip, lowering her head with a look of apology. Then, she whispered to me, "Brother Xi, I misunderstood you..."

"Hmm?" I looked at her coldly.

Wang Xiaojiu gave me another apologetic look and immediately began to explain.

It turns out that the mansion I'm currently living in is actually her Wang family's residence. She grew up here and is incredibly familiar with it. She simply walked to a vase and gently twisted the knob, revealing a secret passage. Then, pointing to the depths of the passage, she said, "This room was originally my father's room. Leaving from here leads to the outside of the Wang family compound. As for how I infiltrated your room to assassinate you, it was through this passage that I entered."

"Even though my Wang family had many such secret passages, we were still completely wiped out. On that day, Maeda Tendou, one of the six great demons under Oda Seiji, led the Aurora to attack our Wang family. Because my father was worried about his family, he didn't escape and was captured along with the rest of the Wang family. I was traveling overseas, so I escaped. Later, after making inquiries, I heard that besides me, there were also Long Yuan and Long Yun from the Long family, the heir of the Bai family, and the third young master of the Kong family. All four of our families were captured and sent to Wang Yu to be guarded by him. Because I saw you move into my Wang family's residence, I thought you had really joined the Aurora. So I couldn't help but try to assassinate you. I also saw you alone in a room with this beauty just now, and you..." At this point, Wang Xiaojiu's pretty face blushed.

"Holy crap, he really licked it?" Little Good Guy was shocked when he heard Wang Xiaojiu's words.

"..." I glanced at Bi Fang and my face immediately turned red.

"Little good girl, are you sick?" Bi Fang then realized she had been tricked, as if she had fallen for my father's scheme. Her face flushed. She looked extremely charming.

"Brother Xi, all the members of our four great families have been arrested, and our family fortunes have all been swallowed up by Oda Seiji. Please, you must do justice for our four great families and restore our glory!" Feeling wronged, Wang Xiaojiu immediately burst into tears.

"Don't cry, don't cry, let's talk this out. Oda Seiji, he's not someone we can't handle. My father went home to mobilize troops, they'll be here to help me in a few days. Leave this to me, I'll take care of it for you," I said to Wang Xiaojiu.

"Thank you, Brother Xi." After hearing my words, Wang Xiaojiu calmed down a bit, but she still couldn't help but shed tears.

"It's okay." I smiled and gently patted Wang Xiaojiu's shoulder.

"Disgusting..." Bi Fang immediately gave me a cold look, thinking I was taking advantage of Wang Xiao Jiu.

"And then there's Wang Yuebai and his son, they're equally despicable. They were the ones who confiscated the assets of our four great families. The combined assets of our four great families are close to 100 billion, and I heard they only handed over 30 billion to Oda Seiji. More than half of our four great families' assets are in their hands," Wang Xiaojiu said.

"What? So much? Holy crap. I absolutely have to get my hands on this money." I was shocked by Wang Xiaojiu's words.

"Huh?" Wang Xiaojiu asked, puzzled.

"No, I helped you get it." I quickly corrected myself, then felt annoyed.

Thinking to himself, "That Oda Seiji really deserves to die! He even managed to leave a fish that slipped through the net for the four major families. Otherwise, if I went and dealt with Wang Yuebai, wouldn't the remaining 70 billion be mine?"

However, Long Yuan is my friend. Long Yun is the woman I'm going to marry. With a sigh, I said to Wang Xiaojiu, "Don't worry, I'll get this money for you."

"Brother Xi, thank you. If you can help us get our family property back, I will definitely thank you properly." Wang Xiaojiu looked at me earnestly.

"Okay." I nodded, feeling a little helpless.

"Where are Long Yuan, Long Yun, the heir of the Bai family, and the third young master of the Kong family?"

“They are all in Mingzhu City. Long Yuan said he wanted to meet up with you, but we never had the chance. I didn’t listen to him and couldn’t help but sneak off to assassinate you.”

"Okay, I understand. Go and bring them to me," I said.

On the other side, Wang Yuebai was like an ant on a hot pan, restless and anxious. Pacing back and forth in the hotel suite, Wang Yuebai turned to Wang Huan and said, "Huan'er, now that even Wang Yang has appeared, our dream of unifying the world is no longer possible. This Wang Yang seems approachable on the surface, but he's actually a difficult person to deal with. He's full of cunning ideas. He's not causing us trouble now, but once he destroys Oda Seiji, he'll definitely come after us. This Wang Yang is just like Wang Yu; he seems foolish, but he's actually more shrewd than anyone else!"

"Father, what should we do? Should we leave Pearl City immediately? Or should we go and seek refuge with the Heavenly Demon King, taking a desperate gamble against the Wang family?" Wang Huan asked.

"Huan'er, you're still too young. Even if we follow Lord Heavenly Demon King, we're destined to be cannon fodder. The Wang family's army is about to attack, and we're no match for them. I'm not worried about Wang Yang seeking revenge later; I'm worried about him reclaiming the 90 billion we've plundered." Nine hundred billion—that's the actual amount Wang Yuebai acquired. Besides the four major families in the country, he also swallowed up a considerable amount of wealth from the Jiangnan forces.

“If we lose these 90 billion in wealth, we’ll probably be left with nothing.” Wang Huan said helplessly after hearing Wang Yuebai’s words.

"Never mind, we'll stand our ground and run now. We already have 90 billion. Even if we escape overseas and buy a small island, it'll be enough for my son and me to live a worry-free life!" Thinking this, Wang Yuebai immediately said to Wang Huan.

Chapter 333 Wang Huan Escapes

"Young Master, I'm so glad to see you!" Long Yuan strode towards me and hugged me tightly. Beside him, Long Yun's beautiful eyes darted around, stealing glances at me. A year had passed in the blink of an eye; Long Yuan had grown even stronger, and Long Yun had become even more beautiful.

At the same time, the heir of the Bai family and the third young master of the Kong family greeted me. Seeing me, they seemed to have seen a savior.

"Brothers, I'm sorry you've suffered." I hugged Long Yuan tightly, and then gently embraced Long Yun and the other young powerhouses from the three major families.

Then, we started discussing serious matters together.

"Your Highness," Long Yuan said earnestly, "although our four great families are allies of your royal family, we are still not united enough. After the incident with Oda Seiji, we have reflected and realized that regardless of whether we can defeat Oda Seiji or whether we have a future, our four great families should be more united with your royal family. I, Long Yuan, the future head of the Long family, as the head of the Long family and the representative of the four great families, promise you that as long as your royal family can lead us to defeat Oda Seiji, our four great families will offer you the four most outstanding girls from our families to marry, and we will give your royal family 10 billion as a dowry, thus forging an eternal bond of brotherhood with the royal family."

"Long Yuan, you're going to be the future head of the Long family?" I asked in surprise.

“Yes. Father has realized that the position of head of the Long family should be held by the strong. When the Long family was destroyed, he specifically called me and said that after we defeated Oda Seiji, I would inherit the Long family and become the head of the family.” Long Yuan smiled.

"Your Highness, after a brief discussion, our four great families believe that we must marry one of our daughters to your Wang family to form a marriage alliance. Even if you don't approve of the girls from our four great families, we will still marry one of our daughters to you. Besides you, we will also select suitable girls to marry to Wang Huan, Wang You, and Wang Yu. We are determined to form a marriage alliance with your Wang family, so please grant our request, Your Highness," the Bai family's heir said earnestly.

"Let's talk about the marriage alliance later." Seeing how sincerely they wanted to marry my sister and her younger sister to me, I felt a little flustered.

"Brother Xi, I am the strongest in the Wang family. If you don't mind, please grant my wish." Wang Xiaojiu looked at me earnestly, already harboring feelings for me.

"I'll think about it, I'll think about it." I was still figuring out how to refuse Long Yun, but after hearing Wang Xiaojiu's words, I was immediately at a loss. Wang Xiaojiu, she's practically begging to marry me!

“Your Highness, we know your Xi’er is wonderful, a woman unlike any other in the world. But your Wang family must continue to grow, and your family must have more and more children. It’s impossible for you to marry only Xi’er, and your father and mother would not agree to it. Can you really bear to entrust the important responsibility of continuing the Wang family line to Xi’er alone?” Long Yuan asked me.

Long Yuan's question really hit the nail on the head.

Just that morning, my father had talked to me about my future marriage. He told me I couldn't marry just Xi'er; I had to marry several women. He also seemed to have a good impression of Bi Fang and wanted to match me with her. His goal was clear: to have me bear many children for the Wang family.

But I don't feel anything for Bi Fang, Long Yun, or Wang Xiao Jiu. If I really want to marry many wives just to have children, wouldn't I become a stud?

However, seeing how earnestly Long Yuan and Wang Xiaojiu were trying to refuse, it would be too hurtful to do so cruelly. Just like when I was in Zhang Shixue's room, seeing how devotedly she loved me, even though I had made up my mind, I still couldn't bear to hurt her.

That's it.

Thinking of this, I looked at them helplessly and said, "It's up to you to decide what to do."

"Brother Xi..." Upon hearing my words, Wang Xiaojiu's pretty face immediately turned red. Bi Fang glared at me fiercely, not expecting me to give in so easily.

Only now do I understand my father's feelings. With great power comes great responsibility. And with great responsibility comes many people around you. Sometimes, you can no longer make your own decisions. Seeing them earnestly advising me, what could I say to them?

Let everything take its natural course.

“My lord, Wang Yuebai and his son plan to leave Mingzhu City. They don’t intend to return to Jinling. It seems they plan to take a cruise ship abroad,” an Aurora subordinate suddenly walked in and said to me.

"What?" I couldn't help but frown slightly upon hearing my subordinate's words.

Aside from Li Guanghui, who was responsible for keeping an eye on me, Aurora's subordinates were only qualified to follow orders. They didn't know my identity, nor would they overstep their authority to question it. Aurora wielded considerable power in Jiangnan. They knew this as soon as Wang Yuebai and his son Wang Huan were about to leave.

"Your Highness, they're trying to run away with our money!" Upon hearing that Wang Yuebai and his son Wang Huan were preparing to leave, Long Yuan immediately became anxious.

“Okay, let’s intercept them now,” I said to Long Yuan.

Meanwhile, Wang Yuebai and his son Wang Huan had already escaped onto a cruise ship. With only half an hour until departure, Wang Yuebai immediately became anxious. "Huan'er, go give the captain ten million and tell him to set sail immediately!"

"Yes." Upon hearing Wang Yuebai's words, Wang Huan immediately walked towards the captain's cabin.

“Father, the captain disagrees,” Wang Huan said.

"Ten million? Isn't that less than the remaining ordinary passengers?" Wang Yuebai exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes." Wang Huan nodded gently.

"Damn it! He's utterly ungrateful! I'll go find him myself!" Wang Yuebai was furious and immediately headed towards the captain's cabin.

“Father!” Wang Huan suddenly called out to him.

"What's wrong?" Wang Yuebai turned around in surprise.

A dazzling streak of light appeared before his eyes, and Wang Yuebai's expression immediately widened in surprise. Even though he realized that Wang Huan was about to attack him, he still couldn't help but look at the streak of light.

“Father, you are very sleepy now, you need to rest. You are tired, you don’t need to work anymore…” Smiling, Wang Huan’s eyes sparkled. Then, a great light shone from his hand, and Wang Yuebai slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing that Wang Yuebai was asleep, Wang Huan immediately found dozens of bank cards on him. He then stuffed the cards into his pocket and helped Wang Yuebai off the boat, seating him on a chair by the dock. Next, Wang Huan gently wiped his face. Instantly, Wang Huan's entire demeanor transformed.

Wang Huan's most proficient attack method is mental power, and this mental power attack is the same as that of the Onmyoji. It is the nemesis of martial artists. Although he is only a master at the lower level of the Fusion Realm, Wang Huan can already defeat his father using mental power.

Hearing the cruise ship's first horn, Wang Huan smiled and walked onto the ship. Then, looking at his father sitting on the dock, he said, "Father, you were willing to betray your own son for power and status, so it's only natural that I would betray you for wealth. I'm sorry, but ever since you betrayed me in the Wang family, I haven't trusted anyone. Since you can't bear to give up your position in the Wang family, then stay here. And this 90 billion, I'll have to enjoy it myself." With that, pain flashed in Wang Huan's eyes, then he licked his lips and smiled.

As the cruise ship departed the dock, Wang Huan smiled and went into her cabin to pour herself a glass of red wine. She sipped it gently, gazing absently at the scenery outside the cabin window.

Nine hundred billion—that money should allow me to live the most luxurious life in the world. Buy an island, build a mansion, hire dozens of beautiful women, and even a military force for protection. But this idyllic life always feels like something's missing. The life of the rich is probably just so lonely.

"Do you think it's meaningful for just one person to spend 90 billion?" A calm voice suddenly came to Wang Huan's ear.

"It's you?" Turning his head, Wang Huan's face immediately turned ashen.

"It's me." I smiled, took the red wine from his hand, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Impossible, impossible! I clearly didn't see you board the ship. How could you be on this ship? Besides, I've already disguised myself. How could you possibly recognize me?" Wang Huan exclaimed in horror.

"You didn't see me board the ship because I arrived earlier than you. The reason I could still recognize you despite your disguise is because it was so clumsy; you didn't even change the clothes you wore this morning. Most people on this ship are dressed casually for their overseas vacations. How many people are dressed like you in a business suit?" I smiled.

"..." After hearing my words, Wang Huan couldn't help but glance around. He noticed that, apart from him, very few people were wearing suits.

"Wang Huan, your father is no match for me, and neither are you. Do you think I'm stupid? Come back with me!" My gaze turned icy in an instant as I looked at him coldly.

"Brother Xi, look at my hand!" Feeling extremely anxious, Wang Huan suddenly released a stream of light from his hand.

Just looking at the stream of light emanating from his hand, I was immediately and involuntarily drawn to it.

The flowing light was so beautiful, it seemed like a spectacle that could only appear in the heavens. Even though I didn't want to look, I couldn't help but be drawn to it.

“Brother Xi, you are the heir of the Wang family, and now you are the head of the Wang family. You must defeat Oda Seiji and restore the Wang family. You are too tired, you need to rest. Sleep, sleep…” A wicked smile gradually appeared on Wang Huan’s face, and he couldn’t help but lick his lips lightly.

"Sleep with your ass!" Suddenly, I punched Wang Huan hard in the face...

Chapter 334 Martial Arts Tournament

Startled, Wang Huan's eye socket immediately turned bruised. However, ignoring the pain on his face, he looked at me in astonishment and said, "Wang Xi, my illusion technique is a type of mental attack, the nemesis of martial artists. Even against an opponent a level higher than me, my illusion technique can still defeat them. Why is my illusion technique useless against you?"

"Hehe, because I am also a master of mental attacks. I specialize in formations." I gave Wang Huan only a cold glance, then drew my jade flute and gently waved it.

In an instant, Wang Huan was trapped in my venomous snake illusion array. Countless venomous snakes surged from all directions, and Wang Huan immediately drew his sword and began flailing wildly.

He entered my illusion array and saw only poisonous snakes. However, the people around him were not in my illusion array, and they all looked at him in surprise when they saw a young man in a suit wielding a sword wildly.
