My Arrogant Young Lady

As I spoke, my gaze suddenly turned cold. With a crack, the wine bottle in my hand shattered.

Li Bihui stared at me in surprise, remaining silent for a long time. As time ticked by, her eyes suddenly dimmed. "Our Li family's emperor died more than a decade ago. My father is now in charge of the Li family. He knows that our Li family has no chance of restoration; he is merely living like a walking corpse, striving for our family's illusory goal."

“Li Bihui, if your Li family truly wishes to restore your royal status, I can give you a chance,” I said.

"You...give me a chance?" Li Bihui asked in surprise.

“That’s right. You should know what kind of family my Wang family is. If your Li family still wants to regain its royal status, I can take you as my concubine. Marry me, and your Li family will still be considered royalty,” I said.

"You want to marry me?" Li Bihui was even more surprised after hearing my words.

"Yes, would you like to?" I asked.

"I refuse!" Suddenly, Li Bihui slapped me hard and glared at me fiercely. Then, she frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Actually, in terms of wealth and power, our Li family is already one of the top families in the world. Restoration is just a pipe dream of my father's. I don't want to be a princess; being a rich family's daughter is enough for me. Besides, Oda Seiji isn't even human; he doesn't have the joys and sorrows that humans possess. If he were to rule the world, he would definitely be a tyrant. You're right, I, Li Bihui, am indeed a good person. I've seen innocent people suffer over the past year, and it hasn't been easy for me. I promise you, I will fight against Oda Seiji with you. But, what can I do for you?"

"Take me back to the ancient town in Jiangnan and rescue the hostages who are being held captive," I said.

“Okay, I’ll take you back to the ancient town in Jiangnan.” Li Bihui nodded gently.

Looking into Li Bihui's sparkling eyes, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed. I knew I had won this gamble. I had used the chips of our Wang family's victory to acquire an even bigger chip to defeat Oda Seiji.

When Li Bihui and I came out of the bar in the Wang family mansion, I saw everyone looking at us with concern.

With a smile, I gently took Li Bihui's small hand.

At that moment, everyone's face broke into a smile.

"Xi'er, this is your father's Emperor's Sword. Although you didn't win the title of the world's number one in this martial arts tournament, you are already the world's number one master. I'm giving you this sword. Use it to cut off Oda Seiji's dog head. Bring his head back so that he can never come back to life." My father handed me a precious sword and said earnestly.

"Heh heh, I'm going to use this to hack Oda Seiji so badly that even his own parents wouldn't recognize him!" With a sneer, I swung my sword and smashed the huge table in front of me.

Chapter 368 The Traitor

"Wang Yu, you are to keep Wang You, Liu Li, and the members of the Divine Group under your care. In three days, the Heavenly Demon King will personally test Wang Xi's abilities. If he can defeat the Heavenly Demon King, the Heavenly Demon King will consider making him his disciple and granting him greater power. If he is no match for the Heavenly Demon King, send Wang You, Liu Li, and the members of the Divine Group back to headquarters. Once the Heavenly Demon King captures the entire Wang family, they will all be executed." Ping Tiandao handed a key to Wang Yu and said earnestly.

"Okay." Wang Yu nodded gently.

Led by Ping Tiandao, Wang Yu and he entered an inn to take a look at Wang You, Liuli, and the members of the Divine Group who had been captured. Because they were all experts among experts, in addition to being chained, their collarbones were also secured with hooks to prevent them from escaping using their true energy.

Seeing Wang You covered in blood, Wang Yu thought for a moment, then knelt down in front of him. He wiped the blood from Wang You's face with a tissue, then glanced at the two gunshot wounds on his shoulder and arm. He said to his men behind him, "Remove the bullets from the wounded and bandage them."

"Hehe..." Seeing that Wang Yu still had deep brotherly feelings for Wang You, Ping Tiandao couldn't help but sneer as he left.

"I have cigarettes in my pocket," Wang You said with a smile, seeing how concerned her younger brother was about her.

"Okay." Wang Yu took out a cigarette from Wang You's pocket and lit it for him.

As Wang Yu's subordinate knelt down to treat Wang You's gunshot wound, Wang You watched as the man removed the bullet from his arm, and frowned slightly as he said, "Lin Fan is Oda Seiji."

“Yes, Wang Xi is now a master cultivator, even my uncle is no match for him. He has won, he is the number one in the world. According to our agreement, I will submit to him. Once your gunshot wound has been treated, you should leave this place. At the same time, I will give you a map of headquarters, where the heads of various families, sect leaders, and leaders of various forces are imprisoned,” Wang Yu said.

"Will you come with us?" Wang You asked.

“If I go with you, you won’t be able to leave here. I will stay here to cover you while you go and rescue the prisoners,” Wang Yu said.

As they spoke, Wang Yu's men quickly treated Wang You's wounds. At the same time, Wang Yu's other men also treated the wounds of the other members of the Divine Group.

He removed the iron hooks binding their collarbones and then used a key to unlock the chains binding them. Seeing that Wang Yu was about to release them, his Yin-Yang master, A-San, immediately said ominously, "Master, you can't release them! If you release them, the Demon King will kill you!"

"Ignore him. Are you people working for him?" Wang Yu immediately rebuked coldly.

"Yes..." Upon hearing Wang Yu's words, they immediately shut their mouths obediently.

"Good brother!" Wang You couldn't help but hug Wang Yu tightly.

"Fifth Brother, tell Father that I, Wang Yu, will always be his son. I will always be the strongest member of the Wang family," Wang Yu said earnestly to Wang You.

“Okay.” Taking the map from Wang Yu, Wang You immediately led Liuli and the members of the Divine Group out of the inn.

"We will bomb this ancient town and take all the ordinary people with us before we leave," Chi You said to Wang You.

"Okay." Nodding, they immediately went to various inns and taverns in the ancient town to look for ordinary people.

This ancient town in Jiangnan has now gathered all of Aurora's forces in China. A total of 30,000 god-level experts—a massive army composed entirely of such masters. They await only Oda Seiji's command, and will swarm and ravage the entire Chinese martial arts world like locusts.

In the largest inn in the ancient town of Jiangnan, the Five Great Demons, Prince Aurora, and the Four Heavenly Kings were kneeling beside Oda Seiji, enjoying the song and dance performance.

Before them stood three heavily made-up kabuki girls. A song, *Narukami*, filled them with rapture. Oda Seiji was completely captivated. Look, that pale face, that smiling face—in Oda Seiji's eyes, the three kabuki girls were like beauties sent down from the heavens. As the three kabuki girls twirled, their small feet, seemingly unsteady on their feet, were particularly striking.

When Ping Tiandao walked in from outside the inn, he glanced at the three geisha and immediately said, "Lord Heavenly Demon King, I do not believe that Wang Xi is a master of immortal cultivation."

"Why would you say that?" Oda Seiji smiled.

"Lord Heavenly Demon King, your hatred for the Wang family has lasted for over a decade. For these past ten years, you've wished nothing more than to annihilate the Wang family every single day, while the Wang family has been relentlessly searching for you, determined to take your head. The hatred between you and the Wang family has reached a point of no return. If Wang Xi had the ability to kill you, why didn't he strike immediately? I believe that Wang Xi is not some kind of powerful cultivator," Ping Tiandao said earnestly.

“That’s right, so what do you think Wang Xi’s strength is?” With a wave of his hand, the kabuki performers in front of Oda Seiji immediately stopped and retreated.

“At the upper level of the Fusion stage, the ethereal aura emanating from his body is likely just an illusion of his true strength,” Ping Tiandao said.

"What do you think of Wang Xi's strength?" Oda Seiji smiled. He looked at the other six Heavenly Demons, the Prince of Aurora, and the Four Heavenly Kings.

“We believe there are many doubts about Wang Xi’s strength. However, his ability to summon a divine dragon is indeed a power possessed only by immortals. We can proceed according to your original plan and duel with Wang Xi. If he is no match for you, kill him immediately and simultaneously launch a full-scale attack to annihilate the Wang family,” said Yuan Rendao, one of the Six Great Heavenly Demons.

“Indeed, the abilities of an immortal are something I’ve always longed for. If I could learn those abilities from Wang Xi, what would it matter if I had to become his disciple? Becoming an immortal is my lifelong dream. And in my pursuit of immortality, I’ve become this immortal monster I am now. I’m only half a step away from becoming an immortal. I’ve waited for decades, what’s a mere three days? I’ll wait three more days. If Wang Xi isn’t a true master of immortal cultivation, I will kill him immediately. At the same time, I will destroy the entire Wang family and find another way to cultivate immortality.” Oda Seiji smiled.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Chinese army has already surrounded us. The strength of China is not to be underestimated. If they use bombs, our situation will become extremely dangerous. Should we take some measures? Or should I immediately lead the Aurora headquarters to wipe out the Chinese army?" said the Aurora Prince.

"Hehe, we have hostages from the Wang family in our hands, so they wouldn't dare use any extreme measures against us. As long as Wang Yu keeps a close watch on those hostages, the Chinese would never dare to use bombs against us," Oda Seiji smiled.

"But, Lord Heavenly Demon King, I suspect that Wang Yu has betrayed us. Since joining us, he has matured considerably and always seems preoccupied. I suspect he will betray us at a crucial moment and return to the royal family that gave him birth and raised him. Lord Heavenly Demon King, family is unreliable, just like Lady Oda back then..." Heitendo recalled the scene he had just witnessed and said to Oda Seiji.

"Lord Demon King, Wang You, Liuli, and the members of the God Group have led all the ordinary people here to escape. Just now, we engaged in a fierce battle with them at the exit of the ancient town." A Naruto ninja suddenly appeared before the group, kneeling on one knee before Oda Seiji.

"Where is Wang Yu?" Oda Seiji smiled upon hearing Naruto's question.

"He's the one who helped Wang You and Liuli escape. He's currently leading the Black Dragon Society's men to guard the exit for them," Naruto said.

"Lord Heavenly Demon King, Wang Yu has indeed betrayed us!" Ping Tiandao immediately drew his samurai sword.

“Relatives are indeed unreliable…” Recalling what Heitendo had just said, Oda Seiji’s face gradually turned ashen.

Then, veins bulged on his forehead, and his entire body gradually emitted a thick black aura. As the black aura continued to gather, Oda Seiji suddenly transformed into a gigantic black shadow. He then smashed through the door frame with a punch and strode out of the inn. When he walked out, all the Aurora members who had rushed to the exit of the ancient town to provide support paled upon seeing the gigantic black shadow.

Oda Seiji was just half a step away from becoming an immortal. But instead of becoming an immortal, he became an immortal monster.

Those who do not enter heaven are demons.

Oda Seiji, he is a demon, a true demon king.

Meanwhile, in order to buy Wang You and Liuli more time to escape, Wang Yu was leading his Black Dragon Society subordinates to hold off the Aurora members who were coming to their aid.

As a hail of bullets rained down from the opposite side, Wang Yu and his men returned fire with submachine guns. While they faced off against the growing number of Aurora members arriving as reinforcements, a massive black shadow suddenly lunged at them.

With a mere blink, Wang Yu was grabbed by the neck by a massive black shadow. The shadow then lifted Wang Yu into the air, its face contorted in a ferocious grimace, and demanded, "Wang Yu, why did you betray me?"

"You are not my uncle. My real uncle is dead. My real uncle was a nobleman with pure Oda family blood. You are just a clone, a monster cloned from my uncle's genes. Die, you demon king who dares to dream of ruling the world!" Drawing his Onimaru sword, Wang Yu plunged it deep into Oda Seiji's abdomen.

"Hahaha!" Oda Seiji couldn't help but burst into a ferocious laugh as he glanced at the famous sword piercing his abdomen. Then, a huge burst of black light erupted from his body.

In an instant, Wang Yu's men's expressions changed drastically. When the black light dissipated, all that could be heard was the dripping sound of blood...

"Wang Yu!" Feeling the immense true energy erupting from the ancient town, Wang You couldn't help but clench his fist tightly.

"Lord Heavenly Demon King, we have another traitor here." With a sneer, Takeda Hell suddenly looked at Suzaku.

At that moment, Zhuque's face turned deathly pale...

Chapter 369 I'm Sorry

On a dark and windy night, upon hearing intense gunfire, violent explosions, and sensing the immense true energy unleashed by a powerful figure from the southern exit of the ancient town, Li Bihui immediately exclaimed anxiously, "Oh no! Someone must be attacking us! Lord Heavenly Demon King and my father are in danger! I must go and support them immediately!"

"Cough, cough..." Upon hearing Li Bihui's words, I immediately frowned and coughed loudly.

Upon hearing my cough, Li Bihui's pretty face immediately turned red. Then, looking at us awkwardly, she said, "It seems some ignorant Chinese forces are causing trouble here. I'll go check who's causing this. You rest at my inn. I'll let you know Wang You and Liuli's whereabouts as soon as I've checked."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." I said, sitting in her room after hearing Li Bihui's words.

By this time, Li Bihui had led me through the north exit of the ancient town to her inn. Assisting us were five powerful individuals: An Yao, Wang Che, Wang Huan, Tong Jialing'er, and Nie Xiaohai. An Yao was responsible for planting bombs within the ancient town. Wang Che and Wang Huan were both masters of group combat; if we were surrounded by the Aurora members, they could use their powerful hidden weapon skills and poison techniques to take down large numbers of enemies. As for Tong Jialing'er and Nie Xiaohai, they were already top-tier experts among the younger generation. Their strength was comparable to my father and Leng Yan. They were capable of fighting against the Four Heavenly Kings or Six Heavenly Demons of the Aurora.

While I cannot use martial arts for the time being, my expertise in formations allows me to defeat even those at the Heartbeat Stage. If my formations are insufficient against the Four Heavenly Kings or the Six Heavenly Demons, my King Serpent can fight in my place. The King Serpent possesses an incredibly strong body, impervious to swords, spears, and bullets. It too can challenge opponents far beyond its level. I am confident that, aside from Oda Seiji, I can defeat any opponent.

After Li Bihui left, An Yao immediately said to us, "I'm going to plant bombs in this ancient town. When we take away the ordinary people here, Wang Yu and Wang You, I'll detonate the bombs. Oda Seiji is not someone we can handle; we can only kill him."

"Sister, I'll stay with you," Wang Che said to An Yao.

"An Yao, Wang Che, be careful." I said, gently hugging my two younger sisters as I walked towards An Yao and Wang Che.

"Don't worry, although there are 30,000 Aurora troops in this ancient town, I'm not afraid of them." Wang Che smiled, gave me a light kiss on the cheek, and left.

"Brother, I need to find my sword. My Green Destiny sword is a treasure that money can't buy. I heard from Li Bihui that Oda Seiji has it in his room. I can't let that demon king get it. I need to go and get my sword back." Wang Huan said to me immediately after seeing An Yao and Wang Che leave.

“Let Xiao Hai accompany you,” I said to Wang Huan.

"Okay." After glancing at Nie Xiaohai, Wang Huan and Nie Xiaohai left together.

After everyone went to take care of their business, only Tong Jialing'er and I were left in the room. Tong Jialing'er's attitude towards me remained the same, with a cold and aloof expression, as if she wanted to keep everyone at arm's length.

When I was very young, Tong Jia Lao Gu and Tong Jia Ling'er secretly protected me. She was Xi'er's cousin, and could be considered an older sister who watched me grow up. Her lifelong duty was to protect my safety.

I know she has feelings for me. As for my interest in Tong Jialing'er, I've already told Xi'er. Xi'er agreed to my feelings for Tong Jialing'er. Even if something happens between Tong Jialing'er and me, Xi'er won't be jealous.

But Tong Jialing'er's personality was truly cold. She was used to watching my every move from the shadows and wasn't used to talking to me. Now that only the two of us were left in the room, Tong Jialing'er just gave me a cold look before sitting down in a chair and closing her eyes to rest.

More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Tong Jia Ling'er has grown even more mature and beautiful. Her skin is snow-white, and her appearance is refined and elegant, like a peerless beauty who has stepped out of a poem or painting. At this moment, she sits gracefully in the chair, and her long legs are even more alluring, making one want to hold them in one's arms.

I glanced at Tong Jialing'er secretly. After thinking for a moment, I deliberately started a conversation with her, saying, "We're going to rescue Wang You and Liuli soon, it might be a bit dangerous. Big Cousin, you must stay close to me, otherwise I'll be heartbroken if you get hurt."

"Hehe..." Knowing that I was trying to make conversation with her, Tong Jialing'er just gave a cold laugh.

"What are you laughing at? Don't you believe in my strength? Do you believe me? I'll go and capture a Heavenly Demon level expert right now and show you!" I said to Tong Jialing'er.

"Wang Xi, I know your feelings for me, and Xi'er has also told me your feelings. Xi'er has married into your Wang family, and as a dowry attendant, I am naturally considered to have married into your Wang family as well. If you want to do something to me, just do it; don't try to provoke me here," Tong Jia Ling'er said coldly.

"Really?" I asked Tong Jialing'er in surprise.

"Really." Tong Jialing'er took a deep breath, looking a little nervous.

Indeed, when the Empress Dowager married Xi'er to me, she also married my four maids, Chunxia, ​​Qiudong, and her personal niece, Tongjia Ling'er. Chunxia, ​​Qiudong, and Tongjia Ling'er were responsible for taking care of Xi'er and me in our daily lives, while Tongjia Ling'er was responsible for protecting us. Although Tongjia Ling'er had no obligation to be taken advantage of by me, she was now considered a member of the Wang family. If she wanted to marry someone else, she needed Xi'er and my consent.

She is already mine; she is like a flower in my Wang family, ready for me to pluck at will.

However, it would be too unethical for me to bully her as the head of the family. It would make it seem like I'm really her boss, deliberately using my status to bully her.

Thinking of this, I immediately squatted down next to Tong Jialing'er. I took her slender, jade-like hand in my arms, looked at her earnestly, and said, "Big cousin, do you like me or not?"
