My Arrogant Young Lady

“Just now,” he said coldly.
"They came in through the door?" The man in the dragon robe looked terrified.
“No, it’s the stairs.” He said, glancing back at the stairs behind him.
"..." After hearing his words, everyone looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say. I also felt a little awkward, thinking that this guy was quite humorous.
If he really did come in through the front door, then this person is terrifying. Because our eyes were just focused on the front door, if he just walked in and we didn't see him at all, then this person is even more powerful than Superman.
I was so scared! Turns out he came down from upstairs.
Leng Yan possessed an imposing aura, far surpassing that of Feng Huo Lei Dian and Mount Everest. His speech always carried a chilling air. Every gesture exuded a sharp killing intent and a faint scent of blood. His expression was arrogant, and his gaze was cold. But when his eyes met mine, a different kind of intensity appeared.
He walked straight towards me, his eyes fixed straight ahead. As he approached, Feng Huo Lei Dian and Zhu Mu Lang Ma became serious and knelt on one knee before him, saying, "Junior Feng Huo Lei Dian and Zhu Mu Lang Ma pay their respects to Senior Leng Yan."
"An Yao greets Senior Leng Yan." Even the usually aloof An Yao bowed slightly to him.
But it was as if no one else existed in his eyes; his pupils only showed my image.
He drew closer and closer, stopping just a step away from me. His gaze began to flicker, and his eyes reddened as he looked at me. He seemed incredibly excited, yet unsure how to express his emotions. He kept looking me over, his eyes filled with joy. Finally, his throat tightened, and he said with difficulty, "Xi'er, do you know? From when you were one to three years old, I was the one who took care of you. I've searched for you for over a decade, and now I've finally found you..."
"..." Hearing his words, I was suddenly struck by a jolt. I didn't speak, just like him, unsure how to express my feelings.
I never imagined I had a master. And my master possessed such a powerful aura. As he approached me, the sharp killing intent emanating from him almost made me gasp for breath. This person's strength far surpassed that of Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning.
"Have you forgotten me?" Seeing that I didn't speak, his eyes became complicated. As if he had thought of something, a bitter smile gradually appeared on his face. "Yes, you may have forgotten me. After all, you were young back then, and you didn't have any memories."
"You are my master?" Even though he was terrifying, and his aura was frightening, looking into the sincerity in his eyes, I thought about it and decided to believe him.
"Yes, I am your master. From now on, no one will be able to bully you anymore. I will protect you well, cure your illness, and watch you inherit the family business, watch you marry and have children." He smiled.
"Master, thank you." After hearing his words, I thought for a moment and nodded vigorously.
"Leng Yan, is there a way to cure Xi'er's illness?" Standing to the side, Emperor Zhao thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Yes!" Leng Yan said firmly.
"What method can cure it?" Emperor Zhao asked.
“There is only one way to cure it, but this method is quite dangerous. At the same time, it will also cause Xi’er a lot of pain,” Leng Yan said.
"Oh? What kind of method is that? And how long will it take to cure?" Emperor Zhao asked.
“Three days,” Leng Yan said coldly.
Upon hearing Leng Yan's words, the crowd erupted in uproar. Many of the guests invited by Emperor Zhao were skilled in medicine; some were martial arts masters, others were professors from the provincial medical college. They had studied the matter for a long time, finding the shortest possible treatment time to be only three months. Yet Leng Yan... he only needed three days.
"Brother, you're not just all talk, are you? Only three days? That's defying all scientific common sense!" someone said, striding out.
"As the saying goes, a doctor's skills are often lacking when treating an illness. This child's injury has been going on for over ten years. If he had just been injured, we might have been able to believe you if you said three days. But it's been so long, his damaged meridians have already taken shape. You're just saying three days? Don't gamble with this child's life." Someone else spoke up.
"Emperor Zhao, do you still have that drug you used so often back then?" Leng Yan didn't argue with them, but instead looked coldly at Emperor Zhao and asked.
“Of course I have. I’ve always had plenty,” Emperor Zhao said.
“Time is running out. Xi’er’s identity has been exposed. I’m here, and I believe the Wang family’s enemies will be here soon too. Quickly find your medicine and inject him. I need to cure him now and then take him back to the provincial capital to hide our identities,” Leng Yan said.
"The dragon robe!" Upon hearing Leng Yan's words, Emperor Zhao immediately glanced at the dragon robe.
"Okay, I'll get the medicine for him right away." Nodding, Long Pao immediately walked towards the basement. He stayed inside for about a minute, then came out with a box of syringes and a small bottle of liquid.
"Xi'er, can you endure hardship?" Leng Yan asked, looking into my eyes.
After hearing Leng Yan's words, I couldn't help but look at Zhang Xuan standing to the side. At that moment, I felt an indescribable excitement.
For over a decade, I've been tormented by illness. Almost every few months, I have to stay in the hospital for a period. And because of my poor health, I'm naturally unable to practice martial arts. I'm always bullied; even the most ruthless thug can beat me to a pulp. I've truly had enough of this. What I find most unbearable is that I can't even do *that* kind of thing.
Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth and nodded to Leng Yan, saying, "Master, I am willing to endure hardship. As long as I can be cured, I am willing to suffer any kind of hardship."
"Alright, I'll endure it. As long as you get through these three days, you'll be just like a normal person again." As she spoke, Leng Yan looked at the dragon robe to the side.
I nodded slightly to Leng Yan, and Long Pao brought a cotton ball to disinfect my arm. Then, he injected an unknown medicine into my arm.
As the liquid gradually entered my body, I suddenly felt my heart beating very fast. At the same time, I felt as if every cell in my body was full of vitality.
My dizziness subsided, and my body regained its strength. Not only was my body no longer weak, but my limbs were also brimming with power. Furthermore, a surge of energy was building within me, as if it were about to explode at any moment. The clothes I was wearing even began to bulge slightly.
This drug is a miracle cure, what kind of drug is it?
However, at that moment, I saw Leng Yan's gaze change. He just stared at me quietly, his eyes gradually turning cold.
Suddenly, he struck me hard in the chest with his palm.
Struck by his palm, I felt as if a thousand pounds had hit my chest. The person striking me didn't seem like a human, but rather a speeding car. I felt my chest cave in, and something bulge in my back. Then, I couldn't help but cough up blood, and was sent flying heavily through the air.
"Leng Yan, you're a fucking fake!?" Enraged, Long Pao immediately pulled something out of his body and pointed it at Leng Yan's head.
"To establish something, you must first destroy it. Only by destroying all the damaged meridians that have healed can you restore him in the shortest time..." Leng Yan ignored the dragon robe and strode over to pick me up.
"I understand! This way, the young master will be just as injured as before. Everyone, hurry and help! Use all your best skills!" With a loud slap, an old man slapped his forehead, his eyes filled with indescribable excitement as he looked at Leng Yan…
Chapter Fifty-Seven: Three Days and Three Nights
After Leng Yan struck me with her palm, I immediately lost consciousness. I felt utterly lost in darkness, and I was in excruciating pain. My body remained as weak as before, but a surge of powerful energy had suddenly appeared within me. This energy was extremely domineering, constantly surging through my body, causing me to let out painful roars time and again.
At that moment, my whole body felt as if it were being torn apart. My body was alternating between hot and cold, and the torment I was experiencing was unbearable.
It hurts so much! I feel like my internal organs are about to be shattered by Leng Yan's attack. I keep spitting out blood and roaring. I want to move to ease the pain, but I'm too weak to move at all. It feels like someone has tied me to a board of nails, constantly pounding my chest with a sledgehammer and slashing my body with a knife. And the knife has barbs, causing me excruciating pain while I can't move at all.
"Ah!" Gradually, another sharp pain shot through my body. This time, it felt like I was carsick. I suddenly opened my eyes and vomited. But what I vomited wasn't filth, but large mouthfuls of fresh blood. And when I opened my eyes, I found that everything was completely dark.
I couldn't see anything at all.
I couldn't see anything. This terrified me. I hadn't expected my injuries to be worse than before, and I screamed in fright.
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?!"
"Brother, you must be strong!" Suddenly, something grabbed my hand. The voice was cold, yet filled with endless concern.
"Sister?" I asked the voice in surprise.
"Brother, you have to be strong. You must hold on. As long as you get through these three days, you can become like a normal person again." The voice gripped my hand even tighter.
At that moment, my hand was grasped by another slender hand. It was Zhang Xuan's voice; she was crying. Crying, she kept telling me, "Wang Xi, you must be strong. You must hold on, you mustn't give up..."
"Xuanxuan?" Hearing that voice, my frightened heart calmed down a little.
"Yes, you absolutely can't get hurt. As long as you're okay, I'll agree to anything you want. I promise I'll never be mean to you again, never tease you again, and I'll treat you well, cherish you, and love you from now on. As long as you hold on, I'll agree to anything you ask..."
Hearing Zhang Xuan's voice, I felt much more at ease. But at that moment, it felt as if a knife was cutting through my body.
It hurt, I screamed again in pain. Then, it felt like another knife was slicing through my body.
"Ah!" I couldn't help but yell again.
Gradually, it felt as if a thousand knives had been plunged into my body. I became increasingly pained, as if my whole body was about to explode.
Suddenly, a domineering heat emanated from behind me, "Hold on! The sons of the Wang family should not be as cowardly as you!"
"Master?" I couldn't help but ask.
“It’s you. Don’t be afraid. As long as your master is here, you will never die,” Leng Yan said coldly.
“But I’m in so much pain…” I said.
"Suffering is to be expected. How can you be reborn from the ashes without experiencing pain? If you can't even bear this little bit of pain, how can you carry our expectations and achieve great things? Heaven will entrust great responsibilities to those who are destined for them, and will first test their minds, strengthen their bodies, and starve them. Did you feed everything you learned in school to the dogs?" Leng Yan coldly retorted.
"..." Hearing Leng Yan's cold rebuke, I felt a chill run through me once more. After thinking for a moment, I decided to grit my teeth and endure the pain. However, the feeling was simply too agonizing. I was tormented to the point that I almost ground my teeth to dust, and a lot of salty, fishy liquid flowed from the corners of my mouth.
"Go for it!" Leng Yan suddenly shouted.
After Leng Yan let out that roar, another surge of immense heat erupted from my body. This heat, domineering and powerful, transformed into a ball of flame that clashed violently with the razor-sharp cold air that had previously filled my body. The flame gradually melted the cold air and continued to penetrate my limbs. Simultaneously, an unknown power suddenly emerged within me. This power was continuously nourishing my cells and repairing my damaged meridians.
It felt so good, making me so sleepy. And this comfortable feeling grew stronger and stronger. Although I still occasionally felt sharp pain, it was completely different from what I had felt before.
I endured immense suffering. This left me utterly exhausted. Gradually, I finally drifted off to sleep again.
This time when I fell asleep, I dreamed of many things. I dreamed of my mother, and my father. I also dreamed of Emperor Zhao, Leng Yan, An Yao, and Zhang Xuan. In the dream, I was cured. I could run and exercise like a normal person. I no longer felt my heart pounding and my trachea feeling like it was being cut by a knife, as I used to.
I don't know how long I slept, but I slowly opened my eyes. When I opened my eyes, I was startled by what I saw.
I found myself sitting in a wooden tub filled with red water, topped with various medicinal herbs. Beneath me, a stove was heating something. Behind me, Leng Yan, her face pale, was continuously channeling streams of energy into my body.
Emperor Zhao, Longpao, An Yao, Zhang Xuan, Tianlei Dihuo, Mount Everest, and many other guests invited by my uncle were all present. Seeing that I was awake, the guests were overjoyed. Everyone looked haggard, as if they hadn't slept for days and nights. Seeing me awake, they immediately exclaimed with delight, "Young Master is awake! Leng Yan's method worked!"
"He vomited too much blood, quickly get a blood test done. Prepare to bring him out for a transfusion." The man in the dragon robe grabbed one of the men and said to him.
"Great! It's just regular type B blood! This blood is very common. May I ask whose blood type is B?" The man ran back immediately after walking for half an hour and shouted with delight.
“Type B blood is easy to find. All of ours are type B.” Several people stepped forward.
“I also have type B blood, use mine.” Zhang Xuan thought for a moment and showed off her snow-white arm.
"This seems to be Xi'er's boyfriend, so let's use hers and give her a chance to prove herself." Emperor Zhao's eyes lit up. He ordered someone to take Zhang Xuan away.
After staying in the wooden tub for almost an hour, I saw the red water around me start to bubble. At the same time, Leng Yan suddenly withdrew her hand from my back, placed her hands under my shoulders, and pulled me out with a splash. As soon as they lifted me out, someone wrapped a bath towel around me.
Then someone carried me to a bed on the side, and I saw someone quickly disinfect the back of my hand with a cotton ball and hang a bag of blood above the bed to inject me into my body.
The red blood instantly flowed into my body, and at the same time, a warm current flowed through me. Someone helped me up and fed me medicine. After taking the medicine, I felt much better again.
“It’s been three days already. After today, Xi’er will be just like a normal person. Not only will I make him like a normal person, but I will also train him to become a top expert. From now on, he will never be bullied again. Anyone who looks down on him will fall!” Although Leng Yan’s face was pale, his eyes remained sharp.
"Senior." An Yao stood to the side and handed Leng Yan a towel.
"Keep an eye on Wang Xi, I'm going to rest." Suddenly, Leng Yan coughed up a mouthful of blood. Then, her expression became weak, and she clenched her fists tightly before walking out.
"Your Highness, please rest a little longer. After tonight, you'll be just like a normal person." Seeing Leng Yan leave, Shan Dian quickly walked up to me and said.
"Hmm." My body was still weak, but I felt much better than before. At this moment, I felt a strength in my limbs that I had never felt before, and my mind was much clearer.
I blinked and looked at them for a while, then gradually closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, I saw bright sunlight shining on me. The room was warm, and I felt better than ever before. Before me, Leng Yan's complexion had improved considerably. There were also An Yao, Zhang Xuan, Emperor Zhao, and Long Pao; my room was crowded with many people.
"Wang Xi, how are you?" Seeing that I was awake, Zhang Xuan immediately sat down beside me. She carefully fed me water, her eyes filled with concern.
"I..." After hearing Zhang Xuan's words, I hesitated for a moment, looking at everyone.
"How are you? Are you feeling better?" Zhang Xuan asked me.
"I... I'm still a little dizzy, and I don't feel strong." After thinking for a moment, I stole a glance at Leng Yan and softly collapsed into Zhang Xuan's arms.
"..." At that moment, a hint of annoyance flashed in Leng Yan's eyes. However, a helpless smile appeared on his face...
