My Arrogant Young Lady

Having seen many bad people, I understood what was going on as soon as I saw the look in Li Dacai's eyes.

This talented Li isn't necessarily a bad person, but he's far more hateful than a villain. He's not evil, but he's incredibly hypocritical. He's deliberately showing off his status, intentionally trying to stir up trouble to attract Xi'er's attention.

Perhaps unaware of my relationship with Xi'er, he always assumed I was a thug, which is why Xi'er favored me so much. To win Xi'er's favor, he deliberately created a group of thugs posing as righteous figures to attract her attention. Now, seeing us arrest five teenagers, he thinks we're bullying them. So he's gathered a large group of henchmen, intending to cause trouble and fight us, hoping to gain fame and the title of "Leader of Justice."

However, Li Dacaizi's Righteous Alliance is really weak. Looking around, there isn't a single thug among his men who's good at fighting. Some of them might have some strength, but they're definitely no match for us. I feel like I could take down three or five of them myself, without even needing to use Earth Fire.

"Release them!" Li Dacai said coldly.

"Release them? You're not kidding, are you?" Young Master Bao exclaimed in surprise, looking at the five teenagers we had captured. These fools didn't know the truth, but he knew it all too well. We had gone through so much trouble to capture these five teenagers. Our two top experts, Thunderclap and Lightning, had been poisoned while trying to capture them; if we hadn't obtained the antidote from them, they might have lost their lives.

Moreover, we almost lost our entire force just now in our attempt to capture those five men.

“Yes, release them, Young Master Bao. A whole bunch of you bullying these five classmates, don’t you feel ashamed?” Li Dacaizi coldly looked at the thugs beside Young Master Bao.

"Get the hell out of here! What do you know? Stop causing trouble!" Enraged by Li Dacai's words, Young Master Bao was too lazy to explain. He gave his subordinates a look and turned to leave.

"Young Master Bao, how dare you insult me!?" Being insulted in front of Xi'er made Li Dacai feel very embarrassed.

"Heh, you dare touch me?" Young Master Bao asked disdainfully, glancing at the hand gripping his clothes.

"If you utter another curse, I will definitely teach you a lesson!" Li Dacaizi's body trembled.

"Go to hell, I'll beat you to death!" Young Master Bao didn't waste any more time. He had always been an arrogant and domineering person, but he had toned down a lot since hanging out with us. At this moment, he immediately raised his fist, ready to strike.

"Stop!" Suddenly, Xi'er gently called out to him.

Xi'er's face was still pale from the music she had just played, her delicate features slightly furrowed. She had exhausted much of her energy playing the zither to suppress the snake's flute music.

This was the first time Xi'er had spoken to the talented Li. Despite being exhausted, Xi'er maintained her composed demeanor and smiled, "Talented Li, you may have misunderstood. These five young men and women are not students of this school, nor are they bullied students. They are very capable, and each of them is dangerous. I just managed to capture them with great effort from Wang Xi. I hope you won't be prejudiced and misunderstand us."

"What!?" Li Dacai was surprised, but he was also extremely excited because Xi'er had spoken to him.

"Yeah, what the hell do you know? These guys are fucking terrifying. They're covered in poisonous snakes and centipedes. Damn it, we just got sprayed with poison mist by them, several of our brothers got poisoned. If you don't know, don't cause trouble, what are you pretending to be a good guy for?!" one of the thugs yelled with a crooked mouth.

"Exactly. You idiot. Look at your sanctimonious face, do you even deserve to compete with our Brother Xi for a woman?" another thug yelled.

"Idiot, Justice League? Did you read too many martial arts novels and go crazy? Even your name is this stupid? It's not as good as 'All About Stockings' sounding nice. Get lost!" someone yelled again.

If Li the Great Scholar is a scholar, then Young Master Bao and his gang are definitely a bunch of soldiers. A scholar encountering soldiers is like trying to reason with a madman. These scoundrels are used to being arrogant and don't take ordinary people seriously. They're especially good at cursing; they can curse even the dead to tears.

I'd witnessed their ruthlessness before. I'd been insulted so badly by them. Li, the talented scholar, was very proud and usually kept to himself, avoiding any contact with the school's troublemakers. He'd never been insulted like this before. Now, being humiliated like this in front of Xi'er, Li's face paled. Especially after Xi'er's explanation to us. This only intensified the turmoil within Li.

“Li, you are a very talented student, and we all admire you. However, please don’t be prejudiced against us or mistakenly think we are bad people. Also, please stop sending flowers and gifts to Xi’er. Instead of wasting your time on Xi’er, you should focus on studying hard and getting into a good university. That way, you won’t let your parents down.” Xi’er said.

"..." Hearing Xi'er openly reject him, Li Dacai felt a jolt in his heart.

"Let's go," Xi'er said with a smile.

"Wait!" However, Li the Great Scholar was still not satisfied. His face flushed, he pointed at the centipede and said, "A classmate of mine saw this person. He saw a large group of you beating him up on the first floor, and you were really rough, kicking him all the way from the east end of the corridor to the west end. How do you explain that?"

“Because he’s very powerful, we can’t beat him unless we join forces,” Xi’er said with a smile.

"Heh, he's that good? He's short and skinny, clearly no match for Young Master Bao and his gang. You think he's good? Xi'er, are you kidding me? You're not protecting your thug friends just because they're hooligans, are you? I'm the leader of the Justice Alliance, I'm no worse than them!" Li Dacai said excitedly.

"Fuck you..." Seeing Li Dacai's spittle flying everywhere, Young Master Bao felt a lump in his throat and wanted to make a move.

"Wait a minute." Xi'er gently stopped Young Master Bao.

"Xi'er, please give me a reasonable explanation!" Li Dacaizi asked coldly.

"You want me to explain to you?" Xi'er smiled.

“Yes!” Li Dacaizi said coldly.

"Alright, then Xi'er will give you a reasonable explanation." Smiling, Xi'er suddenly grabbed my arm and hugged it tightly. She looked at me with a smile and said, "Xi'er just likes scoundrels, just likes Wang Xi. And Xi'er is protecting him. What can you do about it?"

"Xi'er..." My body jolted, and I realized that Xi'er's good temper had been completely worn away. I'd forgotten that she actually had a terrible temper...

Chapter 106 Xi'er is Poisoned

In the sunlight, Xi'er's skin was dazzlingly white. Her eyes were bright, and her delicate eyebrows were slightly raised. An imposing air of nobility emanated from her.

She got angry; she finally got angry.

As a descendant of royalty, the youngest princess of the Yehenara family, she maintained the composure befitting royalty when facing a mere mortal like the talented Li. She ignored his ardent pursuit and deafened his frenzied praise. She had already considered herself a daughter-in-law of the royal family, wholeheartedly desiring to be a virtuous wife. She wouldn't utter a single wasted word to any man other than herself.

However, after being constantly pestered by this talented scholar Li, Xi'er finally couldn't help but speak up.

The first time, she politely declined Li the talented scholar, advising him to focus on his studies. She gave him some face. But this time, Xi'er showed him no mercy. Right in front of him, she grabbed my arm tightly and told him, "This young lady just likes rascals!"

Seeing that Xi'er and I were pressed close together, her words were a clear rejection.

Li, the great scholar. His eyes changed.

At that moment, anger blazed in his eyes. Looking at the body nestled against me, his eyes seemed to want to kill me.

But he was still unwilling to give up, because he was a poet.

Gritting his teeth, Li Dacai looked at Xi'er affectionately and said, "Why, why are you only telling me now? Why, why are you only telling me now that you like Wang Xi? Even if Wang Xi is a scoundrel, aren't I a scoundrel too? Besides, my family's financial situation is many times better than his. My Justice Alliance is also full of positive energy. Why are you only telling me now that you like Wang Xi? Why didn't you say so sooner? Did you deliberately want to see me suffer? Did I do something disgusting that made you treat me like this?"

"No," Xi'er smiled.

"Then why are you only telling me now that you like Wang Xi? Did he just win you over?" Li Dacai's voice was full of emotion.

"No, the reason Xi'er never speaks to you is because you are not worthy to speak to me." Xi'er smiled, but her voice turned cold.

"What!?" Upon hearing Xi'er's words, Li Dacai's heart sank into an abyss.

Even now, the talented Li still doesn't know my true identity. Even now, the talented Li still doesn't know my relationship with Xi'er.

He only thought of me as a hoodlum, a nouveau riche who rose up from oppression. And Xi'er liked me only because of my hoodlum background. When I defeated Tang Wendi, Tang Wendi handpicked me to be the leader of No. 1 Middle School.

He was unconvinced; in his eyes, I had always been a nouveau riche. He felt I had no real ability and had only become famous by chance after defeating Tang Wendi.

In terms of family background, his family is the provincial general distributor for a major leather shoe brand. In terms of academics, he was second only to Lu Zhicheng in school rankings.

As for fighting, he's no match for me, this sickly man. Although he's not good at fighting, he's always been healthy, and he could send this frequently hospitalized good-for-nothing to the hospital in no time.

Now, Xi'er has no patience left for him.

In front of everyone, Xi'er's words were filled with cold disdain and sarcasm. This felt like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, a testament to his pampered upbringing.

"Ah!" With a furious roar, Li the Great Scholar ripped the glasses off his nose. His face contorted with rage, Li the Great Scholar violently tore his hair into a mess.

"Li, the great scholar, what do you want to do?" Xi'er looked at Li, the great scholar, with a ferocious expression and said coldly.

"Yehenara Xier, don't push your luck! There's never been anything that I, Li the Great Talent, have wanted to accomplish. You think you're worthy to refuse me, Li the Great Talent? So what if you have a BMW 760? So what if you have four lackeys accompanying you to school? If my Li family wanted to buy a nice car, it would be a piece of cake. If I, Li the Great Talent, wanted to find a few lackeys to accompany me to school, I could do it for just a few tens of thousands of yuan."

"You dare refuse me again? If you dare refuse me even once more, I will make sure you don't leave this school peacefully. Don't think you're so great just because you found a thug. Take a good look at the number of my Righteous Alliance brothers. Right now, my Righteous Alliance brothers outnumber yours by more than double!"

"..." After hearing what the talented Li said, Xi'er glanced at me awkwardly.

"..." After hearing what the talented Li said, I also gave a bitter smile.

At that moment, I not only wore a wry smile, but also found it amusing. It seemed that this talented Li had never experienced any setbacks in his life, and he started cursing as soon as he encountered such a small obstacle.

As for me, I don't know how many times Zhang Xuan made me cry since I was a child, and I don't know how many grievances I suffered in Zhang Xuan's home. No matter how much I hate Zhang Xuan, when Zhang Xuan is in danger, I am still the first to rush forward without hesitation. Even if I am very bad, even if I know I will be beaten badly, I still do it without hesitation.

Originally, I thought this Li Dacai was a good student, so I respected him quite a bit. He had never insulted me at school, and we had always kept to ourselves, so I had a slight liking for him.

Now, looking at his mindset, I suddenly feel much more dignified.

It seems there's a reason why I'm popular with girls. I'm actually quite capable, much better than that talented Li.

At this moment, the four seasons around us were extremely angry. If Xi'er hadn't secretly stopped them, they probably would have beaten him half to death long ago.

Xia'er had barely moved forward when Xi'er pushed her back. Xia'er panicked and angrily said to Xi'er, "Miss, this beast dared to insult you after failing to win your heart. Let me teach him a lesson."

"Wang Xi and An Yao are here. Be mindful of our royal family's image. We can teach this brat a lesson later after we've dealt with the current trouble," Xi'er whispered to Xia'er.

"..." Hearing Xi'er's words, I felt helpless. So, Xi'er was trying hard to control her emotions and leave a good impression on me because I was around. But I already knew what kind of person she was. Isn't it a bit too late to change her ways now...?

“Young Miss, Wang Xi already knows what kind of people we are!” Dong’er, being the honest one, immediately exclaimed.

"So what if you know? Are you saying people can't change? Compared to before, my temper has improved a lot." As she spoke, Xi'er gave me a pitiful look.

Seeing Xi'er's pitiful eyes, I understood. It turned out that because I had cruelly left her last time, she felt she wasn't good enough, so she was trying hard to correct her temper.

He watched us whispering, and Xi'er and I looked at each other with tender eyes. This only made the talented Li even angrier.

Suddenly, Li Dacai had an idea and shouted to his underlings behind him, "Quick, rescue these poor souls they've captured! We can't let them bully honest students!"

Upon hearing this, I immediately felt a sense of foreboding. We had captured these Five Poison Children together, and it had taken us a great deal of effort. Even if they were no match for us, with the slightest mischief, they could easily escape from our grasp again.

It was too late to stop them. The students, manipulated by Li Dacai, charged at us. They were probably bullied by Young Master Bao before and had just been severely scolded by him. Now they thought they could outnumber us and were planning to take this opportunity to show off and get revenge.

"What are you doing? Stop causing trouble!" He couldn't bring himself to hurt these students. So, he grabbed the centipede, dodging their attacks and unleashing his aura to suppress them fiercely.

But these students thought they had us cornered. One student, frustrated that he couldn't hit Di Huo, suddenly grabbed him and said to another student, "Xiao Qiang, I'll hold him, you hit him a couple of times!"

"Okay." The student didn't know how to fight either, so he grabbed Di Huo's arm and bit him.

With a roar, Di Huo finally erupted in anger. His muscles tensed, and he leaped forward, kicking away a group of students around him. At the same time, Young Master Bao and his friends also became enraged, grabbing a student and slapping him twice across the face, knocking him to the ground, then kicking another disruptive student to the ground.

In the chaos, I watched as the centipede beside me released a cloud of black mist. As soon as the centipede released the mist, several students who tried to save him screamed and collapsed to the ground, clutching their eyes.

In addition, the snake, scorpion, toad, and spider also tried to escape, breaking free from the hands of the four girls, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.

Even more shockingly, the scorpion raised his palm, gathering black energy, and struck me fiercely. Seeing that he intended to assassinate me, Xi'er pushed me aside and struck his hand back.

With a snap, Xi'er and Scorpion's palms collided. A cloud of black mist filled the air. Scorpion spat out a mouthful of blood and flew away violently.

As soon as the scorpion fell to the ground with a thud, several black lines immediately appeared on Xi'er's snow-white palm and crawled up her slender wrist.

"There are scorpions! Holy crap, this guy has so many scorpions on him!" Many small yellow scorpions crawled out from the scorpion's body, and many students immediately turned pale with fright and ran around in panic.

As the scorpion and centipede crawled up from the ground and fled, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Earth Fire worked together to recapture the poisonous snake, toad and spider.

I caught Xi'er's soft body in my arms. Seeing more dark lines appearing on her snow-white wrists, I couldn't help but roar, "Xi'er!"

"It's alright, they have the antidote." Xi'er's face was pale, but her eyes were filled with endless tenderness.

"..." After hearing Xi'er's words, I couldn't help but glare at the talented Li. At that moment, my heart felt like a volcano erupting, and several nameless flames surged within me.

Seeing that the Five Poison Boys were very powerful, and that strange black mist and poisonous creatures were emanating from their bodies, Li Dacai realized that he had made a grave mistake. He watched me retreat continuously, his face turning pale.

But Li, the talented scholar, kept backing away, still stubbornly insisting, "What are you doing? You want to hit me? How was I supposed to know they knew martial arts and were carrying a bunch of scorpions? If you had explained things clearly earlier, this wouldn't have happened. Besides, these people are your enemies from society, what does Xi'er's injury have to do with me?"

"Li, the great talent, say it again?" My eyes were filled with golden light, and my body seemed to be coiled like a golden dragon.

"You good-for-nothing, don't try to intimidate me with your bravado. If you're really not convinced, let's have a one-on-one fight!" Li Dacaizi said indignantly.

"Fuck you!" With a bang, I punched him hard, sending him flying...
