My Arrogant Young Lady

Once it was confirmed that my aunt and I were the ones to be taken away, the wolf immediately grabbed me and quickly retreated to the side of a car. At the same time, the second leader of the Desert Wolves also carried my unconscious aunt on his back.

Then, they led us into a car, while the remaining Desert Wolf henchmen stole seven or eight more. Just as the cars were about to leave, Wang Kun and An Yao immediately surrounded them with their men. Seeing that Wang Kun and An Yao weren't going to let them go, Wolf immediately fired a shot into the air, yelling, "Nobody come any closer! Back off!"

"Brother Xi!" Young Master Bao roared when he saw that I was about to be taken away.

"Back off, don't come any closer. Don't worry about me, I'm fine." Seeing how anxious everyone was, I looked at them earnestly and comforted them. Then, I thought for a moment and said to Bao Shao, Lu Zhicheng, Heilong, and Runtu, "Brothers, I'm sorry. Because there are too many people around, I haven't had a chance to spend quality time with you guys. But my feelings for you will never change. You will always be my best friends, my brothers like family. Some brothers need frequent contact to maintain their bond. But for some brothers, even if we never contact each other, our bond will never change. Isn't that right?"

“Some brothers, even if they contact each other every day, can still become estranged. But even if we never contact each other again, our relationship will never deteriorate. Brother Xi, you don’t need to worry about neglecting us. You’re very busy, and we all understand. Even if you don’t have time for us, we’ll do everything we can to bother you.” Lu Zhicheng smiled.

“Yes. Don’t forget our wish.” I said to Lu Zhicheng with a smile.

“I’ve always remembered,” Lu Zhicheng said with a smile.

"An Yao, you and Nie Xiaohai..." I couldn't help but look at An Yao, wanting to tell her what I had been keeping to myself. But after just one glance into An Yao's cold eyes, my heart suddenly ached inexplicably.

An Yao is clearly my own sister, and I've always wanted her to find a good husband. But I don't know why, as I was about to say these words, I suddenly felt an indescribable sadness in my heart.

As for An Yao, she seemed to have understood what I meant. Her eyes remained cold, and she appeared somewhat pitiful.

"You and Nie Xiaohai must save me..."

“Okay…” Nie Xiaohai also sensed that something was wrong. But when he heard the second half of my sentence, he suddenly became a little helpless.

By then, Desert Wolves and the others had already taken me away. Watching An Yao and Wang Kun get further and further away, I saw them leading the Wang family disciples to the car.

Seeing them get into the car, the wolf immediately said to the driver, "Speed ​​up, make sure they don't follow us!"

Hearing the wolf's words, the driver sped up. The car quickly reached the main road and then the bridge leading to a city next to Pearl City. After seven or eight cars scrambled onto the bridge, one of their men immediately fired, hitting the tire of an ordinary car. A loud crack was heard, and the car quickly collided with other vehicles. They then shot the tires of several more cars, and soon more than a dozen cars were crashing into each other on the bridge. Then more and more cars crashed, until finally the entire bridge was blocked.

When Wang Kun and An Yao caught up with their men, they glanced at the cars blocking the bridge and clenched their fists in anger. After a moment's thought, Wang Kun turned to his men and said, "Everyone must not tell anyone about what happened today. If word gets out that Wang Xi has been arrested, the martial arts world will likely be thrown into chaos again."

"Father, my brother has been captured by the Desert Wolves." Holding her phone, An Yao said guiltily.

"They've been arrested so quickly..." The father's surprised voice came from the other side, along with children's laughter and the sounds of the mother and the Empress Dowager chatting.

"Damn it, look at the map. See where these people will run to." Young Master Bao hurriedly said to Heilong, Lu Zhicheng, and Runtu beside them.

"What a disgrace! Brother Xi was actually captured by a bunch of mercenaries!" Black Dragon said through gritted teeth.

Meanwhile, the Desert Wolves' men took me through two cities, then abandoned the car and fled along mountain roads after dark. My aunt had already woken up. Terrified by their presence, she didn't dare utter a single word.

After they had led us on a run all night, they were exhausted and could run no more by dawn. Quite a few of them were also injured. After thinking for a while, the Desert Wolves led my aunt and me into an abandoned cement factory.

The reason they hid in the abandoned cement factory was because we have people in every city across China. And China is cracking down hard now. Without ID cards, they can't even find lodging in small hotels. If they attract the attention of the Chinese police, things will get even more complicated.

As they and their men cleared a clean area from the cement factory, I sat quietly watching. I lit a cigarette and noticed the bloodstains on my pants were already somewhat dried. And since it was winter, the wound was practically glued to my trousers. Even the slightest tug sent a piercing pain through my leg.

My aunt was standing right next to me. Seeing that I was still smoking, she immediately said coldly, "You've been arrested, and you're still smoking? I don't know what your Wang family does, that you'd mess with people like this. Hurry up and find a way to escape. If they beat me up, I'll definitely not let you off the hook."

Hearing my aunt's words, I couldn't help but smile bitterly to myself. Even though I'm injured now, I'm still a master above the gods. If I wanted to escape, these people still couldn't stop me. But my aunt is just an ordinary person; the only reason I'm staying is for her sake, to prevent her from getting hurt.

I never expected that my aunt would mock me for using cigarettes to relieve the pain. I shook my head with a wry smile and ignored her.

"Hurry up and think of a way to escape, they're going to deal with us soon. If I get beaten up, I'll never forgive you! Still laughing, still have the nerve to laugh. If it weren't for you, would I have been caught? If they're going to beat us up, they'll definitely hit you first!" My aunt shouted when she saw that I was unmoved.

"Shut up!" At this moment, the wolf suddenly glared fiercely at his aunt.

"What?" Upon seeing the wolf scolding his aunt, the aunt immediately turned pale and looked at him.

“How dare you reprimand an ordinary woman, or the noble status of the Prince of the Wang family?” Wolf glanced coldly at my aunt and immediately walked towards me respectfully, saying, “Prince, a clean place has been prepared for you. Please go and rest.”

Chapter 419 Fairy Tale Town

The wolf's respectful attitude towards me made me feel somewhat flattered. My aunt was also confused by the wolf's respectful behavior. She thought the wolf was a hypocrite, pretending to be respectful but actually planning to slap me when I wasn't looking. But when my aunt saw that the wolf had actually led me to a clean place to sit and rest, and realized that the clean place they had prepared was for me, she was completely dumbfounded.

As a medic from the Desert Wolves came over, cut open my pants, and carefully disinfected me, my aunt couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Wang Xi the person you were supposed to kill? Why are you being so nice to him?"

Hearing his aunt's words, Wolf smiled and lit a cigarette. He watched as a medic pulled down the pants stuck to his wound, carefully poured hydrogen peroxide on it, and layers of white foam appeared. Wolf sneered, "Wang Xi is a king. A hero who defeated Oda Seiji. How could we lowly mercenaries dare to humiliate such a king, such a hero? Even if he is our enemy."

Hearing what the wolf said, my aunt's eyes widened in disbelief. She watched as the medic disinfected my leg, then poured some white medicine on it. Next, he took a roll of clean white gauze from the first-aid kit and carefully wrapped it around my leg.

Almost every mercenary is also a medic, skilled in self-rescue and helping others. Professional teams like the Desert Wolves have dedicated medics.

After the medic tightened the bandage on my wound, my aunt blinked and asked, "Wang Xi, who exactly is he?"

Hearing his aunt's words, many burly men looked on in surprise. Wolf, too, couldn't help but show surprise. Then he smiled and said to me, "Young Master, doesn't your aunt know your identity?"

“She knows I’m rich,” I smiled.

After hearing my words, Wolf nodded and looked at his aunt, saying, "Foolish woman, listen carefully. This young man in front of you is not just an ordinary rich man. He is also the emperor of a country, the marshal of an army, and the leader of a martial arts alliance. He is the most powerful and dangerous person in the world. Any force that offends the Wang family will be razed to the ground. His status also makes his situation extremely dangerous. He stands at the pinnacle of this world, admired by all, and is the target of countless ambitious people who want to defeat him. And we are just one of those people. You will encounter many dangers around him. In the future, you will encounter many more dangers."

"..." Looking at the wolf's serious eyes, Auntie was taken aback. After a minute or two of silence, Auntie thought for a moment and asked, "Um, so who are you people?"

"We're mercenaries, people who'll do anything for money. An ordinary woman like you, we can kill you whenever we want. Besides, you're worthless in our eyes, just a bargaining chip to blackmail the prince. You'd better be sensible, or we'll beat you shut up right now. The prince is noble, someone we dare not touch. But you're not as noble as the prince; we never show mercy to women," Wolf sneered.

After hearing what the wolf said, Auntie fell silent.

Like Oda Seiji, the wolf also respected the strong. In Oda Seiji's eyes, the leaders of those forces and the heads of families were like precious treasures. He enjoyed collecting treasures and capturing those family heads to serve them well. Not only Oda Seiji, but even his subordinate Takeda Jigoku, when he captured the Ye family and imprisoned the Ye family members, treated the Ye family with great courtesy, while looking down on Ye Shuang, who betrayed the Ye family.

Now that the wolf has captured me, it's treating me very politely. Like those martial arts practitioners, it's worshipping me as the leader of the martial arts world.

After my aunt fell silent, Wolf smiled and whispered to me, "Actually, my childhood dream was to be a bulldozer driver. But my parents are gone, and my foster aunt's family wasn't very nice to me, so I ran away from home and became a mercenary. Just like you, I also have a mean and unpleasant aunt."

Wolf was a European, a large, white man. Even in winter, he wore very little clothing: only a short-sleeved shirt and a vest, with a ferocious wolf's head tattooed on his massive right upper arm.

I never expected that the wolf would have the same childhood as me. I couldn't help but take out a cigarette, light it, and laugh.

Then, I lay down and stared up at the dilapidated ceiling of the cement factory. All I could see was a broken chandelier swaying precariously. I couldn't help but hum a little tune: "There's always a colorful river winding through the fairytale town, tinged with the whimsical aura of magic, yet twisting and turning in love. Flowing ceaselessly, splashing water, then swirling in a curtain of time. Let all those long, long ago, reach their happy endings..."

I gently closed my eyes, and an image of a beautiful girl with long, silver-white hair appeared in my mind. Her eyes were cold, but she looked at me very seriously and said, "Brother, what's the name of the song you're humming?"

"What for?" I asked.

"The songs you listen to all seem to be very good..." An Yao seemed a little embarrassed.

Hearing An Yao's words, I couldn't help but laugh. Then, I hugged her tightly and said, "Little sister, aren't I fashionable? Trendy? Even though I'm older than you, I'm not as outdated as a kid like you!"

"What's your name?" An Yao asked me.

"I won't tell you, I just like to let you listen to me sing, only songs sung by me." I smiled smugly.

“But I can’t listen to you sing all the time…” An Yao’s bright eyes dimmed after hearing my words.

This happened at the Wang family's house a week ago. I closed my eyes, thinking about every little thing I shared with An Yao. My heart ached again.

An Yao. She can't listen to me sing for her forever. And I, too, can't sing for her forever.

We were destined to separate, even though I liked her very much, we were destined not to be together.

She is my sister, she is my own sister.

Even if it hurts, I will still marry her off. An Yao and I, we will never be able to find happiness. Many people will be happy, but we will not.

An Yao, don't hate your brother. It's only because you are my most beloved sister that I must marry you off.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but clench my fist and take a deep breath. Then, I felt a tear slide down my cheek; the tear was already icy cold.

"Xi'er has been kidnapped. Who is going to rescue her?" In the Wang family's council hall, Wang Yang sat on the throne of the family head and asked with a smile.

“Father, Xi’er is willing to personally go and rescue Brother Xi.” Sitting below, Xi’er immediately stood up with a solemn expression.

"Patriarch, Tong Jia Ling'er is willing to lead the Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter seasons, together with Xi'er, to rescue Wang Xi." Tong Jia Ling'er stood up expressionlessly.

“Wang Huan is also willing to go and save my elder brother, and also to test my newly concocted poison.”

"Wang Yu is willing to go and save his elder brother."

In an instant, dozens of young men and women from the Wang family stood up. The Wang family was now truly at its zenith. Their strength was several times greater than before. If the Wang family was once a clan that various powers eagerly sought to challenge, now few major powers were willing to contend with them.

Watching as many outstanding young men and women volunteered, Wang Yang smiled and said, "I'm old now, I can't fight as fiercely as I used to. I used to be able to easily handle a Fifth Plenary Session, but now my heart starts racing after drinking ten or eight bottles of Erguotou. Besides, I have to be mindful of my status, I can't always fight like a young person. I'm over forty now. I should be more mature."

“Wang Yu, your destructive power is too great. Wang You, our Wang family still needs you to keep things in check. Liuli is too destructive, and she's easily deceived when she's roaming the martial world. As for Huan'er and Che'er, you shouldn't go either. And Xi'er, if you leave, the Empress Dowager will be left without anyone to restrain her. Little Princess Ye also needs your company. It's no big deal that Xi'er was captured; I get captured all the time. Our Wang family is so powerful, even if those people capture Xi'er, they won't dare to touch her. Tong Jia Ling'er, you can go. Also, take the Four Heavenly Kings—Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise—with you. The five of you are enough to deal with those people. But be careful; your enemy isn't that little Desert Wolf, but the First. That First is extremely cunning; besides Oda Seiji, he's the second most cunning villain.” Wang Yang said.

"Patriarch, I want to go too!" Seeing that all four Heavenly Kings had gone, Li Bihui couldn't sit still any longer.

"What are you going to do? Go and bombard everything with your rocket launcher? Don't go, stay home and play games with me. Also, you're already a member of the Wang family, call me father-in-law from now on," Wang Yang said, glaring at Li Bihui.

“But, Father-in-law, I really want to go and save Wang Xi. Besides, I’m so bored staying at the Wang family home…” Li Bihui said.

“Hui’er, don’t go. Don’t forget your current status. Although those people in the martial arts world let you go, you are still a wanted person by various countries. Let Tong Jia Ling’er take people to handle this small matter. One Fusion stage expert and four Heartbeat stage experts are enough to deal with the number one.” Qinghua gently held Li Bihui’s hand and said to her tenderly.

"Alright..." After hearing what Qinghua's mother said, Li Bihui could only nod gently.

"Ling'er, besides rescuing Wang Xi and securing first place, there's another thing you need him to do this time. He needs to make a list of the girls he wants to marry and send it to us in any way he likes. The Wang family is getting a new house, and we need to determine the order of their wives' ages," Qinghua said.

"Yes!" Tong Jialing'er nodded gently after hearing Qinghua's words. Then, she and Zhuque exchanged an awkward glance, because they would also be on the list.

Chapter 420 The Girl Waiting for Me

"Your Highness, although we respect you as a prince, we are enemies, and we certainly won't let you go so easily. Now, you must fulfill three conditions. If you do, we will agree to release you." It was already evening, and Wolf had someone buy fine wine and food to entertain me. Then he handed me a cigarette and looked at me earnestly as he spoke.

"Okay, name your terms." I lit the cigarette the wolf offered me and nodded in agreement.

"First, many of our brothers died because of you, and they need a settlement allowance. You'll have to pay that. And you're rich; your Wang family can easily come up with hundreds of billions. I want five hundred billion; that's probably not much for you, right?" Wolf asked me.

After hearing Wolf's words, I thought to myself, "He's really asking for an exorbitant price. Knowing our Wang family is wealthy, he's trying to squeeze every last penny out of us. Five hundred billion—that's roughly all the money we gained in the great war against Oda Seiji. Oda Seiji possessed many treasures and vast wealth; now that he's dead, we've swallowed it all. And then, as promised, our Wang family destroyed this tyrannical demon king, Oda Seiji, and the various powers gave us a great deal of tribute."

Giving Desert Wolf 500 billion means we've wasted our time.

"I agree," I said, pursing my lips after hearing what the wolf said.

"Hehe, the young master of the Wang family is indeed straightforward. Second, escort us out of China and take us all the way to Africa. We are all people who keep our promises, so I'm sure the young master can do this too, right?" Wolf asked me.

"It's nothing," I said, taking a deep drag on my cigarette.

"Third, for the next ten years, you are not allowed to cause trouble for the Desert Wolves. We all know how powerful your Wang family is. We are just a small mercenary group; wiping us out would be effortless for you. For the next ten years, you are not allowed to cause us trouble, is that alright?" the wolf asked me.

"Well, I need to think about it..." I said after listening to what the wolf said.

"Okay, I'll give you time to think it over." The wolf smiled.

My status is different now; I must keep my word. I can promise him 500 billion and escort them to Africa. But if I turn around and deal with them, I can recover all 500 billion, wipe them out, and seize a considerable fortune from them. However, if I agree to their third condition, I will be unable to recover the 500 billion or take them down.

I'm not the same hoodlum I used to be anymore. I can't make promises I can't keep and then go back on them. Like my aunt, if I promise to bring her back to the Wang family, I will definitely bring her back.

Seeing that I said I needed to consider it, the wolf knew I was seriously considering it. After all, 500 billion was no small sum, and they were enemies I wanted to take down. He was patient; he could wait for my promise. If I made that promise, he could live a comfortable life for ten years without worry. Why wouldn't he wait?

All the lights in the abandoned cement factory were out, and even the generators were all broken. It was already dark, and Wolf led me to warm up by the campfire. While warming ourselves, Wolf picked up his flask, took a sip of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and said, "If we're going to leave China, where would be a better place for us to leave?"

“The North, I know it better. My uncle is a big shot in the underworld there, he can arrange for us to go out to sea. Then we’ll take a ship directly to Africa. Once we get there, you can disembark, and I’ll tell you my answer. As long as I’ve thought it through and agree to your third condition, I’ll transfer the money to you, and I won’t touch you for ten years, how about that?” I said.

“Very good.” The wolf nodded gently.

"So, did you find out first that you caught me?" I asked.
