My Arrogant Young Lady

"Is Mount Everest alright?" I started to worry when I heard that Mount Everest had been poisoned.

“Qomolangma is fine, but if this continues, I’m afraid more of us will be poisoned. So, we must lure Wang Huan out, capture him, and send him back to the Wang family,” Xi’er said.

"Okay, let's join forces then. I've been practicing martial arts all day and have improved quite a bit." After thinking for a moment, I suddenly felt something was off. "Wait a minute, Xi'er. I've been hiding with Master all this time, and I heard that Wang Huan has been keeping an eye on me there. Could it be that Wang Huan wasn't watching me and instead came here to poison you?"

"That's why Xi'er came to find you," Xi'er said with a smile.

"What's the reason?" I asked.

“Besides Wang Huan, he has five subordinates. These five subordinates are called the Five Poison Children. They are the five protectors of his Poison Hall. During the time you were practicing martial arts, Wang Huan was watching you, and the Five Poison Children were watching us. Even though we were very careful in dealing with them, we still fell into their trap.” Xi’er sighed.

"The Five Poison Child?"

“Yes, these are five of his men he brought from his family. Like Tianlei and Dihuo, these five are all adopted sons of the Wang family. They grew up with Wang Huan since childhood and have a deep bond with him. Now that you're back, Wang Huan must be back too. The Five Poison Children are already difficult to deal with; if they join forces, it will be even more difficult. If we don't practice, we might not even dare to drink a sip of water in the future,” Xi’er said.

"I see, I understand now."

Looking into Xi'er's bright eyes, I couldn't help but feel a surge of affection. But the thought of Wang Huan and his five men gave me a headache.

It turns out that Xi'er and An Yao, like me, are facing food safety issues.

Wang Huan must have subordinates. When Wang Che came to deal with us, he brought many experts from his family. And the leader, General Cui, defeated Feng Huo Lei Dian miserably. With a single Tai Chi move, he could throw the massive body of Mount Everest away.

As for Wang Huan's subordinates, their strength should be comparable to that of Feng Huo Lei Dian. Because when Chun'er was used as bait to capture me, she encountered the Five Poison Children. She herself is a skilled fighter, but she appeared quite disheveled when she met them, saying she was sprayed with poisonous smoke by several experts and shot with poisonous darts. By the time she escaped, she was already poisoned.

"Your Highness, besides their poison, there's something else you need to be wary of." As if she had thought of something, Xi'er blinked and spoke.

"What is it?!" My mind was a complete mess, and I looked at Xi'er in surprise.

“Wang Huan is not only skilled in poisoning, but he also knows some of the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams. You must be careful of his Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth technique. His master is a Taoist priest, and it is said that his Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth technique is very effective,” Xi’er said.

"Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth? Does that mean turning the money in my pocket into his money?" I asked.

"No, the Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth Technique is a type of Taoist magic. Legend has it that this technique can indeed be used for theft, but it also has other uses, such as cursing, using Taoist magic to set up formations to bring bad luck to people," Xi'er said seriously.

Wang Huan and the Five Poison Boy were already difficult to deal with, but when I heard that he also knew how to transport wealth with five ghosts, I became really uneasy.

After thinking for a moment, I quickly took out the money from my pocket and counted it. I don't know if it was just my imagination, but it seemed like I was a hundred yuan short of the pocket money my master had given me before.

Just then, my phone rang. The ring startled me so much I almost dropped the banknotes in my hand.

"Who sent the text message?" Xi'er asked me.

"Let me see..." I picked up the phone and glanced at it, and I immediately felt nauseous.

Chapter Ninety-Eight Hot Spring Resort

The message I received was an MMS, and the first thing I saw was several photos of a car accident. The photos were graphic and disturbing, making me feel very uncomfortable.

But what's most disgusting is the following text.

When you see these photos, you've already run into bad luck. For the next seven days, you will be haunted by their vengeful spirits. Unless you forward this message to thirty friends, you will…

Staring at this disgusting message, my face grew paler and paler. When Xi'er wanted to see it, I was afraid it would disgust her, so I turned off my phone.

"Is it his message?" Xi'er noticed my expression and looked at me intently.

"Yes, it's another curse message. He's cursed me. Don't look at it, it won't affect your mood," I said.

"What kind of information is it?" Xi'er asked me.

"It's those disgusting messages, like saying you'll have bad luck if you read them, and then you forward them to thirty friends. Damn, Wang Huan is so despicable!" I said.

"..." She looked at me in surprise. Xi'er covered her mouth and laughed.

Seeing Xi'er smile, I felt helpless and said to her, "So you'd better not read this message. It'll ruin your mood. I found a similar note when I was little, with almost the same thing written on it. Damn it. It scared me to tears. I secretly wrote it in class, crying as I wrote. You have no idea how much I hated writing back then. This note had over a hundred words on it, and it made me write it thirty times. I wrapped it up and threw it on the street. Zhang Xuan saw it, called me stupid, and tore it up. For seven days, I was terrified, especially afraid of being cursed and something bad would happen."

"Xi'er isn't afraid," Xi'er smiled.

"Aren't you afraid?" I looked at her in surprise.

“Xi’er is an atheist,” Xi’er said.

After listening to Xi'er's words, I thought for a moment and showed her my phone. She wasn't scared at all; she looked at it with a smile and innocent eyes. After reading it, she sighed softly and pointed to my phone with her little finger, saying, "It's a pity we couldn't find the source of the call. Otherwise, we could have forwarded the message to him. I heard from An Yao that Wang Huan is very superstitious and especially afraid of being cursed. If we forwarded the message to him, he would definitely be furious."

After hearing Xi'er's words, I suddenly realized what she meant. I thought to myself, "Xi'er is so clever! I can forward this message to him to annoy him too." But when I saw the source of the message, I felt uneasy again. The number that sent it to me was 10086 (China Mobile's customer service number).

"Holy crap, what's going on?" I asked in surprise.

"This is a scam; it uses software to hide your phone number. Wang Huan is very clever and good at hiding and protecting himself," Xi'er said.

"Damn it, this bastard, don't let me find out his phone number, or I'll forward him a hundred messages like this!" I said.

"Haha, he'll definitely forward it to others." Xi'er laughed.

“Then I’ll make up a curse message like this, with the message saying it will be forwarded more than 100,000 times,” I said.

"Haha..." Xi'er laughed again after I made her laugh. Her delicate little face looked very cute when she smiled.

The sun was still shining brightly, making Xi'er's skin appear even whiter. Looking at Xi'er's flushed face as she smiled, an indescribable feeling welled up inside me again.

I found that being with Xi'er wasn't so bad, and I gradually developed more feelings for her. We chatted for a while, and she seemed to have forgotten about how I had cruelly left her before.

Xi'er, she's still my fiancée. If I wanted to do something to her, she probably wouldn't refuse...

I stared blankly at Xi'er, and I saw that she was looking at me too. Her big eyes were bright, and they occasionally sparkled with intelligence. As we looked at each other, a complex emotion gradually appeared in her eyes. I felt my throat go dry, and my heart began to race.

“Let’s go back,” she said with a smile.

"Yes." I nodded gently.

On the way back, Xi'er didn't hold my hand again. Walking side-by-side with her, I felt her little hand very close to mine, and my heart fluttered; I wanted to hold her. But I was the one who said I didn't like her, how could I possibly take advantage of her? Besides, I already have a girlfriend; it would be a bit scummy of me to take advantage of her.

Walking back down the corridor of the teaching building, we saw Young Master Bao and Li Dacai still facing off. More students had gathered by then, including An Yao and Feng Huo Lei Dian.

"Young Master Bao, forget it!" I said to Young Master Bao in a great mood.

"Damn it, be careful next time, or I'll kill you!" After hearing my words, Young Master Bao glared fiercely at Li Dacaizi.

"Heh, do you think I'm afraid of you?" Li Dacaizi said coldly.

Standing next to Xi'er, I saw a look of surprise in An Yao's eyes when she saw us. But soon, An Yao's eyes turned cold again, and she deliberately put on a stern face, showing an arrogant look.

The argument ended there, and everyone was preparing to leave. Just then, a cold laugh came from not far away.

Hearing that sneer, I, Young Master Bao, Lu Zhicheng, Li the Great Scholar, Xi'er, and An Yao all turned to look at the source of the sound. A beautiful girl walked into Class Three, giving us a disdainful look. "Some people really have no shame when it comes to finding a rich wife," she said.

"..." Upon hearing the girl's words, Li Dacai's face immediately darkened. I was also somewhat embarrassed, unsure of what to say to the girl.

"Young Master, you're becoming more and more charming." Young Master Bao grinned mischievously as he watched the pretty girl walk back into the classroom.

"Huh?" I was surprised.

"Hehe, that girl's name is Shanshan, and she's also the school beauty. Her family isn't well-off, but I heard she's a live streamer and quite popular online. She could easily afford a BMW in a year. Maybe she saw you and Li the talented scholar vying for the little princess and got jealous, and now she likes you," said Young Master Bao.

"Ah..." I was surprised again.

"You're quite charming. Damn, people really do change when they have money. More and more beautiful women are falling for you." Young Master Bao grinned mischievously.

Hearing Young Master Bao's words, I grinned, a little embarrassed. Even though I'm a prince now, I feel like I'm no different from a loser. That Shan Shan probably doesn't like me either; she's probably angry because Xi'er attracted all the boys at school. Looking at the spot where the girl disappeared, I sighed and said, "When will I be able to earn enough money to buy a BMW..."

"Your Highness...!" Upon hearing my words, the expressions of Hurricane, Lightning, Thunder, and Fire all changed.

Young Master Bao, Lu Zhicheng, An Yao, Xi'er, and Chunxiaqiudong all looked very embarrassed when they saw me.

"I'm going back to class now, we'll talk later." With a sigh, I went straight back to the classroom.

During class, I saw An Yao sitting next to me reading an extracurricular book. I hadn't seen my little sister for eight or nine days, and I missed her quite a bit. After thinking for a moment, I moved closer to her. Then, rather shamelessly, I grabbed her little hand and whispered, "What are you reading, so intently?"

Because of Xi'er, An Yao and I are having a cold war. But she's my own sister, and I know that even if we're still angry, we won't separate. Besides, Xi'er just said that she and An Yao want to form an alliance with me. I think An Yao will make up with me, so I'm taking this opportunity to start coaxing her.

I grabbed her little hand, and I felt An Yao shift slightly. But she remained aloof, calmly looking at the book in her hands, and said, "Would you like to take a look?"

"Let me see?" I said.

After hearing what I said, An Yao handed me her book. I was startled when I saw it. It was a book about auspicious days.

At the same time, An Yao took out several more books from her desk, all of which were fortune-telling books. I looked at her in surprise and said, "Little sister, are you going to switch careers and become a fortune teller?"

“No, I’m looking for a way to deal with Wang Huan. Because Wang Huan is superstitious, he not only uses superstitious methods to deal with others, but he is also afraid that others will use superstitious methods to deal with him. These days I’ve been cramming on the I Ching and related knowledge of Feng Shui. I hope to find a way to deal with him in these books,” An Yao said.

"Little sister, you're amazing..." Hearing An Yao's words, I reached out and put my arm around her waist. Then, I pulled her petite body into my arms.

When I hugged her like that, An Yao's face immediately turned red. She glared at me fiercely, then quickly pulled away and said, "You and Xi'er have made up?"

"Yeah, we've made up. Since we've both made up, why don't we make up too?" I said with a grin.

"Hehe, I can't be bothered to get angry with someone like you. Senior Leng Yan's greatest skills are military strategy and formations. His skills are something my father wanted to learn his whole life but could never master. You should also take a look at these books; they will help you in your future studies of Senior Leng Yan's military strategy and formations," An Yao said.

“Okay…” I picked up a copy of Zhou Gong’s Dream Interpretation and began to read it carefully.

After class, Zhang Xuan and I took a walk outside the teaching building. We hadn't seen each other for eight or nine days, and we both missed each other terribly. We walked quietly hand in hand. Suddenly, Zhang Xuan grabbed my hand and bit it. Then she glared at me and said, "You're such a busy person now, it's hard for me to even see you. You're quite popular, aren't you? I heard that this morning, our school's little internet celebrity, Shan Shan, was jealous of you."

It hurt quite a bit when Zhang Xuan bit me, but I felt a sweet warmth in my heart. I took her hand and gently bit it back, then smiled and said to her, "Don't listen to Young Master Bao's nonsense. Shan Shan has no interest in me at all. She just complained because she was annoyed by Young Master Bao and Li Da Cai Zi arguing."

"Come on, you're the heir of a prestigious family now. Your status is so high that even if you're not handsome, you look better than before," Zhang Xuan said, giving me a reproachful look.

"Really?" I said in surprise.

"Yes, you've lost weight. You're also more muscular than before. I like you," Zhang Xuan said.

"I like you too," I said.

Around noon, Lu Zhicheng, Bao Shao, and I carefully ate a meal together. Then we went to Tianlei and Dihuo's dorm room, and we lay down with them to study those superstitious books. After looking at a "Good Luck Guide" for a while, Bao Shao suddenly sat up and said, "Hey, let's skip class this afternoon and go take a shower together!"

"Take a bath?" I asked Bao Shao in surprise.

"Yeah, a hot spring resort opened in Beicheng. I heard it's pretty good. I even have some free tickets at home. Why don't we go take a bath together and soak in the hot spring? We can find a few girls for a full-service massage. Damn it, I read in this book that bathing can bring good luck. I feel like I've started to have bad luck these past few days. Even that good-for-nothing Li Dacai isn't afraid of me anymore."

“We’ve been training hard these past few days, so a soak in a hot spring will relax all our muscles. Then we can get some essential oils and have a girl give us a gentle massage. Wow, after a good night’s sleep, we feel completely refreshed. Plus, a massage helps us recover our energy.” As he spoke, Young Master Bao’s expression began to show enjoyment.

"Young Master, taking a bath is fine. We can even pretend to go take a bath and lure out Poison King Wang Huan. Damn, when we're all naked, let's see how he tries to poison us!" Lightning's eyes lit up.

“That’s right. If we can lure the second young master out of the bathhouse, it will be a great opportunity for us to deal with him.” Hurricane smiled and took out a white paper fan, gently waving it.

"What are you doing? Did I say I was taking you there? You're An Yao's people, if you want to ask An Yao for money, go ahead. I'm not inviting you!" Young Master Bao suddenly glared at them fiercely.

"..." Upon hearing Young Master Bao's words, the four hall masters were stunned.

"It's alright, I have money on me, I'll treat you." I said helplessly to them, not expecting Young Master Bao to suddenly lose his temper.

“Young Master, you don’t have enough money to invite them. That hot spring resort is very high-end; a trip there would cost at least three thousand yuan. There are too many people, and we can’t afford it. Besides, they were so stingy before; they even took back a single cigarette you smoked. Let’s go; we absolutely will not invite them!” With that, Young Master Bao put on his coat, grabbed me, and we left.

The four hall masters were left looking at each other in bewilderment. I, Young Master Bao, Lu Zhicheng, and I left the dormitory. Once outside, I whispered to Young Master Bao, "Young Master Bao, why did you suddenly get angry with them? Even though we're from two different factions, we're still brothers. Besides, they're not short of money; they don't necessarily need you to pay. Take them with you; we can manage with the money we have."

"Young Master, what do you know? I'll tell you a secret..." With a mysterious air, Young Master Bao whispered something in my ear...
