My Arrogant Young Lady

Because the competition pits the strongest young generation of Chinese warriors against each other, in addition to the eliminated powerhouses, many other strong individuals from all corners of China have also come to participate.

So far, the ancient city of Jiangnan has attracted over two thousand masters. If Father were willing to profit from the tourist area he's leased, he could probably make a fortune from this tournament. However, with Oda Seiji facing a formidable enemy, Father can no longer afford to worry about making money from this tournament. He's simply focused on selecting the strongest fighter for everyone, and whoever wins, Father will keep his promise.

When Wang Yu's subordinate, Yokozuna Daizan, appeared on the stage, it immediately caused a stir. This man was a master sumo wrestler, considered the number one sumo wrestler in Japan. Thanks to Oda Seiji's powerful genes, he was now a master at the lower level of the Fusion stage. Opposite him was a petite beauty, less than 1.6 meters tall. Compared to Yokozuna Daizan's mountain-like physique, this girl appeared incredibly small.

Just one glance at the petite Ruri opposite him, and Yokozuna Daizan couldn't help but laugh, "I'm a lolicon, you know. It's really hard for me to lay a hand on a girl like this. Little Ruri of the Wang family, why don't you just admit defeat?"

“No.” Liuli looked at him seriously and said.

"Alright then." After hearing Ruri's words, Yokozuna Daizan stomped one foot heavily on the ground. When he stomped, the entire earth seemed to tremble because of his enormous weight.

He became the top sumo wrestler, naturally possessing formidable strength. He wouldn't underestimate his opponent, nor would he hold back simply because Ruri was petite.

"I'm coming!" With a loud roar, Yokozuna Daizan charged toward Ruri as if the earth trembled under his feet.

Ruri showed no expression, and as she vanished into thin air, she rushed towards Yokozuna Daizan.

The two figures vanished into thin air simultaneously. They quickly reappeared on the stage, now positioned in the very center. A massive ripple appeared in the air as their bodies collided violently.

"Liuli, how much does she weigh?" a young man from a prominent family stood up and asked.

“Seventy-two catties,” Wang You said with a smile.

"Seventy-two jin? To collide with Yokozuna Ooyama's weight of four hundred jin. If it's a collision like that, she's at a huge disadvantage..." The young master from the aristocratic family said to Ruri with concern.

However, no sooner had the scion of the noble family finished speaking than Yokozuna Daiyama was sent flying, coughing up blood. Then, with a thud, he crashed heavily off the stage.

"Ruri wins!" Even the host's face turned slightly pale at the sight of the fallen Yokozuna Daiyama.

"Liuli's greatest strength lies in her physical power and physique. Because she has cultivated pure cultivation techniques since childhood, even the strongest men are as fragile as paper dolls." Standing below the stage, Wang Che covered his mouth and laughed.

"So beautiful..." Hearing Wang Che speak, a large group of young men from prominent families nearby couldn't help but be captivated by her beauty.

"You bitch," Little Good Guy muttered under his breath.

"Little good man, you insulted my daughter?" Wang Yang looked at the little good man in surprise after hearing his words.

"No, no, no, Uncle, I'm scolding myself..." Looking at Wang Che again, the kind-hearted man felt an indescribable regret. His father had found him such a wonderful fiancée. It was a pity he hadn't cherished her.

"Wang Yu wins!" "Li Bihui wins!" "Wang You wins!" "Little Arhat wins!" "Yang Yuan wins!" "Nie Xiaohai wins!"

"Tong Jialing'er wins!"

"Wang Xisheng!"

When I pointed my finger at An Yao, her face immediately turned bright red with shame and indignation. I quickly released the pressure point and apologized to her, saying, "Good sister, are you alright?"

"Hmph!" An Yao glanced at the onlookers below the stage, then angrily disappeared from the stage.

And I, silently savored the soft touch on my fingertips. This skill my father taught me seems a little strange...

Only An Yao was angry. The audience below the stage didn't seem to care. Since everyone there was a martial arts master, they often encountered women in combat. If they held back just because their opponent was a woman, none of them would be alive today. From a martial artist's perspective, men and women are the same. Sometimes, to injure an opponent, a strike to the chest is necessary. And An Yao is my own sister, so no matter what I do, no one will think I'm going too far.

As for the subtle feelings between An Yao and me, only we ourselves know them. Our love for each other is almost surpassing the love between family members.

Perhaps this is a deeper expression of family affection. I will always love her and cherish her as if she were my own life.

Because all the competitors were highly skilled, many matches lasted from one to three hours. Therefore, this competition lasted approximately three days in total.

The top 32 contestants were quickly determined, and the next round would be the selection of the top 16. Standing in front of his father, Wang Huan glanced at the contestants including Wang Yu, Wang You, Liu Li, himself, Nie Xiaohai, and Tong Jialing'er, and couldn't help but take a deep breath. Then, he took out a card and looked at it.

"Wang Huan, facing the Yin-Yang Master A-San Yin An."

"Hmm?" Looking at the fortune slip in his hand, Wang Huan couldn't help but glance at the Yin-Yang Master next to Wang Yu.

"Hehehe, it seems our two great masters of the Xuanmen are about to have a showdown." The Yin-Yang Master A-San immediately opened a white paper fan and chuckled.

"You pervert! I'm a master, you're not!" Touching the Azure Nether Sword on his body, Wang Huan couldn't help but want to kill the Yin-Yang Master.

"Wang Xi will face off against Nie Xiaohai, the son of the Sword God."

"It's you again!?" Nie Xiaohai and I stared wide-eyed at the sign in our hands.

"Brother Xi, it seems we really are destined to meet. The advancement of these sixteen experts will select the strongest masters in the world. This time, let's really have a battle. We've been too destined before, and a battle between us is unavoidable." Nie Xiaohai couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Hmm." I was speechless when I drew Nie Xiaohai again.

"Tong Jia Ling'er, facing off against Yang Yuan of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect."

"It's you?" Yang Yuan frowned slightly as he glanced at Tong Jialing'er, who was as beautiful as a poetic painting. She was the one who would face him in the finals.

"Wang Yu will face off against Wang You, the fifth young master of the Wang family."

"Brother, it's actually you?" Wang Yu smiled, his desire to compete with the strong stirring within him. Wang You smiled back at Wang Yu, "Little brother, I've long wanted to have a good match with you."

"Li Bihui versus Runtu."

"Hehe, it's not difficult at all." Li Bihui yawned as she glanced at the unassuming-looking Runtu.

Because the round of 16 was filled with the best of the best. And this time, our names were printed on the leaderboard and posted in prominent locations throughout the ancient city of Jiangnan.

Looking at the lineup of opponents, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath. Even before the quarterfinals, this martial arts tournament was already becoming incredibly exciting.

I will face Nie Xiaohai. Wang Huan will face A-San's gloom. Tong Jia Ling'er will face Yang Yuan. Wang Yu will face Wang You. Li Bihui will face Runtu. Wang Che will face Ritaro. Liuli will face Murong Yanran...

We all took a deep breath, and there was an indescribable tension in us all...

Chapter 341 A Familiar Aura

"Where is that Vermilion Bird's disciple? We've been in this ancient city of Jiangnan for so many days now, and we haven't seen him at all!" With the next qualifying match imminent, Wang Yu and Li Bihui, along with their men, took some time to return to Mingzhu City. After all, their main objective this time wasn't to compete for the title of the world's number one martial arts master, but rather to disrupt the selection of the top martial arts master in China to fight against their Heavenly Demon King.

"Your Majesty, Liu Su will be here shortly." Li Guanghui said respectfully to Wang Yu and Li Bihui, noticing the fear in their eyes.

"Huh?" Upon hearing Li Guanghui's words, Wang Yu and Li Bihui couldn't help but look towards the door.

Sensing the aura of a powerful figure, a handsome young man with an elegant demeanor entered. Upon seeing Wang Yu and Li Bihui, the young man quickly smiled and bowed deeply, saying, "Lord Wang Yu, Lord Li Bihui, I have been lying low in the ancient city of Jiangnan for a long time. It's just that I was unlucky and didn't make it into the final of the top thirty-two."

"You... are my sister's last disciple?" Li Bihui frowned slightly as she looked at me.

"It's me," the young man smiled.

"It's me," I thought to myself at that moment. The young man standing before Wang Yu and Li Bihui is me, the last disciple of the Vermilion Bird Sect, Liu Su, who recently advanced to the Twenty-Eight Constellations. The reason they couldn't resist my appearance is because Wang Huan had disguised me. As for Li Guanghui before them, he had already taken Wang Huan's poison. Without the antidote within half a day, his entire body would become unbearably itchy, making him want to scratch himself raw. Beneath his clothes were countless scratch marks. After being tortured by Wang Huan several times, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and submitted to us, betraying Aurora.

"Useless thing. It seems that my personal return was the right thing to do." Li Bihui had long since seen enough handsome men, no matter how many. She was now immune to them. In fact, she felt no liking for them at all. With a cold glance at me, Li Bihui sat down on the sofa in the mansion.

"I'm sorry, compared to the president and the princess, my strength is still too weak." I smiled and said to them, even though they looked completely different.

"Tomorrow is the day we advance to the top sixteen. These thirty-six masters from China are not to be underestimated. My opponent is Wang You, and Bat's opponent is Runtu. Liu Su, tonight we two need to get a good rest. You are responsible for monitoring my father and the others' movements. If they do anything outside of the martial arts tournament, report to me immediately," Wang Yu said coldly.

"President, I wonder how things are going on the battlefield in Europe?" I asked.

"In Europe, we've already wiped out nine of the twelve members of the Golden Twelve Knights, and severely injured two others. We're still missing the Grand Knight Commander, who possesses strength approaching the Golden Core stage. Once we eliminate him, the entire European battlefield will be ours. At that time, all our members will return to China and wipe out all the top martial arts masters in Pearl City," Wang Yu said.

"The Heavenly Demon King is wise and mighty." I smiled after hearing Wang Yu's words.

"You'll be in charge of monitoring my father and his group's actions." Wang Yu gave me a cold look, then took off his shirt and walked into the bathroom.

"So tired." Li Bihui glanced at me disdainfully and walked towards another bathroom in the mansion.

Tomorrow is the final of the round of 32. After the draw today, we will have a day and a night to rest. In order not to arouse the suspicion of Wang Yu and Li Bihui, I had Wang Huan disguise myself and hide me among them.

Of course, I wouldn't tell them what my father was going to do. I walked outside, smiled, patted Li Guanghui on the shoulder, and said, "Li Guanghui, you did a good job. Keep an eye on Wang Yu and Li Bihui for me. Report to me immediately if they make any moves."

"Yes." Hearing my words, Li Guanghui felt an indescribable anger. But he was helpless because he had been poisoned by us.

That night, feeling troubled, I went alone to the Bund in Mingzhu City to enjoy the night view. I remember when I was being mistreated at Zhang Xuan's house, I liked to go to Beiling Mountain in the provincial capital to clear my head. Then I would take a nap in that small park and go home after my aunt fell asleep. If I saw my aunt when I got home, I would probably be met with her sarcastic and cold words.

I dislike it when people criticize me, I really dislike it. No matter what I do, I always try my best to do my best. But even when I try my best to be perfect, my aunt still finds fault and scolds me. Perhaps it's because of my unhappy childhood that I'm somewhat withdrawn now.

Thankfully, I have An Yao. I also have Wang Che, Wang Huan, Lu Zhicheng, Young Master Bao, Xi'er, and the others. They are the ones who have changed me and made me more and more willing to be with everyone.

Even so, I still sometimes go for a walk alone when I'm upset.

I'm really annoyed right now. Tomorrow I have to face Nie Xiaohai again. Nie Xiaohai's strength is about the same as mine, and it's hard to say who will win. Besides, we've already sworn brotherhood; we're now sworn brothers. Facing my sworn brother, I'm very reluctant to fight. But if I don't go all out, I'm sure I'll be defeated. Swords have no eyes; I don't want to lose, and I don't want to hurt my brother.

And also, I miss Xi'er terribly. I miss my newlywed wife, and I miss my children. If I were to marry many girls, it would only mean that I would have to continue the Wang family line. The girl I love most in my heart is still Xi'er.

We've only just gotten together, and now we have to separate. I haven't even seen what my newborn child looks like.

If it weren't for Oda Seiji causing chaos in the world, I truly wanted to return and live a long and happy life with Xi'er, raising our daughter together, and never appearing in this world again. But, coincidentally, I inherited the royal family's estate, only to witness the imminent destruction of the kingdom and the family. Driven by national and personal vendettas, I had no choice but to fight Oda Seiji.

My Wang family will never be destroyed by him again.

And I, standing on the land of China, can't help but miss another girl. Without her, even if I gained the whole world, who would I share it with? Who would I share my joy with?

Without her, all the money in the world is just a number. Without her, all the power one gains is always lonely.

I miss her. I miss her so much. She's the girl I grew up with, and I really want to share everything I have with her.

"Brother, are you upset?" A cold voice suddenly came from behind.

"An Yao?" Hearing her voice, I lit a cigarette and called out her name.

"Why are you upset?" she asked me.

"No matter what I do, I can never make the world perfect. I don't want people to talk about it, but I know I will," I said.

"This world is inherently imperfect. Even gods couldn't make it perfect. And no matter what we do, there will always be a trace of regret. Just like me, I'll never find my own love. I am, Wang Che is, Wang You is—we pursue perfection, yet we can't find the person we love. On the contrary, Wang Yu's thoughts are singular; he lives only to become strong. Although he doesn't love his fiancée, he can still marry her. His life is simple, but he can live the happiest life. Perhaps, a simple life is the best."

"A simple life?" I turned around in surprise to look at An Yao.

“Yes, it’s very simple.” An Yao smiled.

“Little sister, I know who you like, but you can never be with him. Thank you for your advice. I hope you can be a simple girl like me. Let him go and find someone you truly love,” I said.

"Brother, do you know what I most want to do, but haven't done yet?" An Yao looked at me with a smile.

"What is it?" I asked.

“I want to dye my hair…” An Yao frowned and stroked her long, silvery-white hair as she spoke.

"Dye your hair?" I couldn't help but laugh when I heard An Yao's words. Then, I couldn't help but burst into laughter and hug her tightly. "Little sister, do you know what my biggest wish has been since I was little?"

"You said."

“Ever since I was little, I’ve always envied other people playing with remote-controlled robots. So, I’ve always thought that when I grow up and can leave my aunt’s house, I’ll earn money to buy one to play with. But now I’m grown up, I have money, but I don’t dare to buy one. I’m afraid people will laugh at me, laugh at my childishness. Now that I have a child, I thought I could buy him a toy to play with, and secretly play with it myself. But it turned out to be a girl, and she definitely won’t like remote-controlled robots. We all live in other people’s worlds. You don’t want to dye your hair because you’re afraid people will laugh at you, just like me, afraid of being laughed at for dyeing black hair white, right? Come on, little sister, I’ll go with you to dye your hair now. At worst, I’ll dye my hair white.” I said.

"Really? You dyed your hair black with me, and you dyed it white?" An Yao looked at me in surprise.

"Damn it, I'm still a young person, I want to be fashionable too," I said to An Yao.

"Haha, I also want to be prettier." An Yao laughed after hearing my words.

It seems that An Yao's personality has become much more cheerful since she met me. She's no longer aloof, and the coldness in her eyes has lessened. We're both changing each other, gradually altering one another with our familial bond. Perhaps this is the meaning of our existence.

We were both a little nervous sitting in the hair salon, getting our hair dyed. She was about to dye it black, and I was thinking of dyeing mine white for fun. Suddenly, a girl across from us arrogantly picked up her phone and said, "What? You want me to take a taxi to your company myself? What happened to the Mercedes you promised? What kind of lousy company is this? Let me tell you, if you don't send a Mercedes to pick me up today, we're not discussing the contract between our two companies!"
