My Arrogant Young Lady

"What? How could Li Dacai do this? He provoked us himself, and he even told Mom and Dad after having two front teeth knocked out? Wang Xi, why don't I call my aunt and let her talk to them?" Xi'er said to me.
"No need, let's not bother your family with such a small matter. Let's go and see what they have to say." I know that Xi'er's aunts all married very well; their daughters either married powerful officials or high-ranking regional governors. But I don't want to trouble Xi'er's family with this kind of thing.
“Alright, I’ll go with you.” Xi’er nodded gently.
As soon as Xi'er and I changed our clothes and stepped out of the villa, I saw Di Huo and Chun Xia Qiu Dong emerging from all around. They had been secretly protecting us, and upon seeing us, they asked in surprise, "Young Master, Young Miss, where are you going?"
“Yesterday, Wang Xi knocked out two of Li Dacai’s front teeth. Li Dacai’s parents want to talk to us. You should go home; we’ll go check on them and come right back,” Xi’er said.
"I'll protect you!" Upon hearing Xi'er's words, Di Huo immediately stepped forward and said.
"Okay." With worried expressions, the three of us hailed a taxi and headed towards the Marriott Hotel.
On the way, my phone rang again. It was Zhang Xuan. She asked me softly, "Wang Xi, where are you?"
"We're on our way to the Marriott Hotel, what's wrong?" I asked.
"Marriott Hotel? That's the best hotel in our province! You're already preparing to show off your wealth? Wait here, my mom and I are coming over to find you right now." Zhang Xuan said with delight, and quickly hung up the phone.
"..." Hearing the dial tone on the other end of the phone, I was completely dumbfounded.
As if things weren't going to get worse, I wasn't going to show off my aunt's wealth; I was clearly watching someone else flaunt their wealth... Thinking this, I panicked. I immediately tried calling Zhang Xuan back, but no one answered...
Chapter 110 Defeating the Good Guy
My anxiety grew, and I called several more times, but no one answered. If I wasn't mistaken, Zhang Xuan must be very happy right now. She thought I was going to flaunt my wealth to her aunt and was preparing to slap her hard with money. She was so happy that she didn't even want the phone anymore and was urging her aunt to change her clothes and call me.
Damn, if Zhang Xuan and her aunt really come, Zhang Xuan will be really disappointed. I've made a mistake and am about to get scolded by her parents. If they come, they'll definitely see me being mocked mercilessly.
Thinking of this, I tried calling Zhang Xuan a few more times. But no one answered the phone.
I gritted my teeth. I thought to myself, "If this doesn't work, I'll ask Xi'er for help. I wonder if it's too late to get her to send me ten million to show off."
We're almost at the hotel, and Zhang Xuan and her mother should be getting ready to leave. It's probably too late to have Xi'er send someone to deliver ten million to me to show off now…
But in order not to embarrass Zhang Xuan, I decided to swallow my pride and try asking Xi'er. It should still be in time for Xi'er to send someone to give me money.
But before I could even speak to Xi'er, Di Huo suddenly whispered to us, "Your Highness, we're being followed."
"Who!?" I exclaimed in surprise, quickly looking in the rearview mirror.
Upon seeing this, a cold sweat immediately broke out on my forehead. We were indeed being followed. At that moment, a dozen or so black sedans were following our taxi. All of them were Audis, and their license plates were all similar. They were clearly a group, not just some ordinary cars following us.
Thinking about who else we might have enemies, I immediately asked, "Is it Little Good Guy?"
"It's most likely him, because our biggest enemy right now is the Drug King, and Little Good Guy is the Drug King's lackey in this provincial capital. Although Hao Ren Group has fallen on hard times, it still wields considerable influence in this provincial capital. Only Little Good Guy could pull off such a setup," said Di Huo.
"Damn, wouldn't that make things even worse for us?" I asked.
"Adding insult to injury?" Di Huo asked me in surprise.
I had no mood to explain to Di Huo. I inwardly cursed, "Oh no, oh no!" If Xiao Haoren and his gang had their eyes on us, we might be in for a fierce battle. And if Xi'er sent someone to deliver the money, it would be too late. We might even get captured.
“Your Highness, I reckon that kind-hearted fellow has been watching us outside Xi’er’s villa the whole time. He followed us as soon as he saw us leave. We definitely won’t have time to get backup. Di Huo will do everything he can to help you break through the encirclement,” Di Huo said.
“If we have to leave, we’ll leave together,” I said.
As we were talking, I saw the convoy of taxis catching up. This section of road was sparsely populated; a car sped towards us, then suddenly slowed down and backed up against our front. The taxi driver, not understanding what was happening, immediately slammed on the brakes and brought the car to a stop.
Then, the driver immediately leaned out and started cursing. "Fuck you, so what if you drive an Audi? What do you mean, trying to extort money from me?"
With a whoosh, more than a dozen identical Audis quickly surrounded us. Then, a series of banging sounds came from around us, and tattooed men got out of the cars. In the blink of an eye, more than fifty people surrounded our vehicle.
The kind-hearted guy stepped out of the car in front of us, looking down at our taxi and licking his teeth. He arrogantly waved his hand at us, "Damn it, kill them!"
With a whoosh, a group of burly men immediately brandished machetes and charged towards us. The driver turned pale with fright and quietly slipped into the car.
At that moment, Di Huo opened the car door, rushed out, and kicked several burly men to the ground. "Young Master, run!"
Seeing that Di Huo had gone out, Xi'er and I immediately went out as well. As soon as I stepped out of the taxi, a big man immediately swung a machete at me.
His machete was fierce, making a whistling sound as it slashed at me. I quickly dodged, and the machete struck the car next to me, sending sparks flying.
Seeing that I had dodged, the burly man paused for a moment, then swung his sword at me again. My movements were now much more agile, and I dodged his attack once more. Then, I saw five or six burly men running towards me, and I quickly used my movement technique to pass through them and reach Di Huo and Xi Er's side.
"Damn, this kid's incredibly agile! So many of us couldn't even touch him. Brothers, let's all charge! We'll take this kid down today!" a burly man roared, leading the other burly men as they charged towards us.
Seeing so many burly men charging towards us, Di Huo, Xi'er, and I turned and ran. They quickly caught up, shouting battle cries.
As they relentlessly chased us, the scenery rushed past us. Suddenly, I was kicked hard in the butt, and I stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.
Just then, several Audis drove up in front of us and surrounded us. Seeing that there was no way to run, I thought for a moment and said to Di Huo, "Let's fight. I'm still quite agile. If we fight, we can still put up a fight. They don't have as many people as last time."
"Yes, fight them!" Earthfire nodded immediately.
To finish the fight quickly and avoid being injured, Di Huo immediately took three iron rods from his body and strung them together. With a fierce shake of the three-section rod, Di Huo instantly transformed into a ball of red flame and charged into the crowd.
Among us, Xi'er was the strongest. Spotting the charging thugs, Xi'er struck one of them with a single palm strike, sending him flying and spitting blood.
Gradually, more and more thugs surrounded us. Di Huo and Xi'er took them down one by one. In the crowd, I saw Xiao Haoren still taunting me. He conjured a knife shape with his hand and lightly sliced his own neck. Then, he beckoned to me and said, "Little trash, how about a one-on-one fight like last time?"
Hearing what Little Good Guy said, I smiled inwardly. Ever since that fight with Little Good Guy, I've noticed a significant increase in my strength. And now, after two more short training cycles with Leng Yan, my strength is far greater than it was then.
The thought quickly popped into my head: to catch the thief, first catch the king...
Thinking of this, I flashed and broke through the encirclement. Then, I coldly looked at the kind-hearted guy and said, "A one-on-one fight it is. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"Such an arrogant tone, I like it!" the good-natured guy said with a carefree laugh.
I glanced at Di Huo and Xi'er. I saw that these two experts were more than capable of handling that group of thugs. Knowing they didn't need my worry, I immediately rushed towards Xiao Haoren, yelling, "Take this!"
"Haha, take this!" The little good-natured boy was overjoyed. He threw a punch at me hard.
But his expression changed when his fist came flying towards me. He realized I was incredibly fast, at least three times faster than before. He threw a punch with all his might, which I easily dodged.
"What the hell!" Little Good Guy exclaimed in surprise, and threw another punch at me.
"..." I smiled and dodged his fist again with a slight movement.
"What the hell?!" Even more surprised, he threw another punch at me.
This time, he secretly added a feint. He pretended to punch me in the face with all his might, but just as I was about to dodge, his fist immediately changed direction and followed.
Watching his slow, deliberate punch, I smiled and easily dodged it.
"Holy crap, what the hell?!" Panting, the good guy was shocked.
"Keep going." Seeing that the little good guy was no match for me anymore, I felt an indescribable sense of pride.
"Fine, don't try to dodge if you dare!" Taking a sudden step back, the good-natured boy arched his body. Then, he struck with all his might.
With a loud thud, the little good guy landed a solid punch on my chest. Seeing that the punch had hit, the little good guy raised his face and grinned mischievously.
But his smile vanished after staring at me for less than two seconds. He realized his punch hadn't hurt me at all; he hadn't seen the pained expression he'd imagined, or even the sight of me coughing up blood…
"Now it's my turn to make a move, isn't it?" I sneered and threw a punch at him.
Upon seeing my punch, the little good boy's eyes immediately filled with panic. He tried to dodge like me, but he realized he simply didn't have my agility.
He could only stare blankly as my fist landed on his face, then he fell backward to the ground.
He, too, didn't understand. Why, in less than a month, had I become so amazing...?
Only I know in my heart that all of this is thanks to Leng Yan.
When I became Leng Yan's apprentice, he told me he would train me into a master of earth-fire-like strength within three months. Now, almost a month has passed. In these two short training cycles, I have undergone excessive physical training every day. This excessive physical training has gradually strengthened my physique and greatly increased my strength compared to before.
Leng Yan kicked me with a soccer ball, and Bao Shao and Lu Zhicheng hit me with a softball. I dodged them, which improved my agility; I didn't dodge them, which improved my physical strength!
Time and again, I was hit by Leng Yan's powerful kicks, enough to shatter a soccer ball; time and again, I was struck by the softballs that Young Master Bao and Lu Zhicheng threw with all their might. As the wounds on my body continued to accumulate, I have now become incredibly resilient.
Xiao Haoren is just an ordinary person. His full-force punch is not as effective as Leng Yan kicking a soccer ball at me.
Seeing the bewildered look in the good-natured boy's eyes, I smiled and picked up a machete from the ground. I gently placed the machete against his neck and asked him with a smile, "Good-natured boy, do you submit?"
"..." After hearing my words, the little good-natured person turned his head away with a humiliated expression.
Chapter 111 Mr. Li Needs Investment
Just then, my phone rang again. Taking it out, I glanced at the caller ID and frowned. Answering, I whispered to the person on the other end, "Auntie, what's wrong?"
"What do you mean? Are you not coming? If you don't want to come, fine, we'll talk at your school tomorrow. But once we get there, don't blame me for being impolite. I'll not only talk to you, but also to your teachers and your principal!" The voice on the other end of the phone was impatient and tinged with a scolding tone.
"Auntie, I ran into some trouble on the way and was delayed..." I explained to the other person.
"Heh, don't cause me trouble. What could possibly happen to a kid from an ordinary family like you? Did you come by bus? Can't afford a taxi? If you still can't come, just say so, we'll come pick you up in a Mercedes. What kind of trash are you, pretending to be something you're not? If you can't handle trouble, don't hit people. Look what you've done to my child. My Pingping has always been an honest kid. He never fights or swears. You're really something, actually hitting my child. If I hadn't heard you were an orphan, I would have slapped you twice. You piece of trash..." The other person coldly mocked me.
"Auntie, don't say anymore, I'm coming right now. It'll be there in ten minutes at most," I said, frowning.
"Fine, I'll give you ten minutes. If you don't come, you're in trouble!" The call ended.
It was Li Dacai's mother who called me. We were late because we were ambushed by Xiao Haoren. I guess Li Dacai's mother thought I was trying to shirk responsibility and was making excuses to avoid talking to them.
Thinking about it, I felt a bit annoyed. I thought to myself, "That Li Da Cai Zi's mother is such a show-off. If I had ten million, I would definitely throw it in her face."
"Who is it?" Even with a knife to his neck, the little guy asked curiously.
"Nobody," I said, frowning.
At this moment, when Little Good Man's men saw that I had captured him, they all stopped fighting. A large group of burly men surrounded us, and Di Huo and Xi'er also walked towards me.
Looking at the little good boy lying on the ground, Di Huo smiled and gave me a thumbs up, "Senior Leng Yan is indeed brilliant, having trained the young master to be so outstanding in such a short time."
"You learned martial arts from Leng Yan?" Little Good Man was shocked upon hearing Di Huo's words.
"Yes." I nodded gently.
“Leng Yan, he’s a being beyond godhood. No wonder, no wonder I couldn’t beat you…” His gaze flickered, and Xiao Hao’s eyes gradually dimmed. He knew then that he was no longer my match.
"Your Highness, what should we do with him?" Di Huo asked me.
“Little Good Guy is the Poison King’s henchman. Why don’t we take him back and lock him up with Three Poisons? If we capture Little Good Guy, we’ll have eliminated another of the Poison King’s right-hand men,” I said.
“That’s right. Although Xiao Haoren’s family has fallen on hard times, their Hao Ren Group still wields considerable influence in this provincial capital. By capturing Xiao Haoren, we’ve essentially captured hundreds of henchmen that the Drug King might be able to utilize. We haven’t lost out this time; dealing with the Drug King will be much easier in the future,” said Di Huo.
“We can also use Little Good Man’s hundreds of men to turn the tables on the Poison King,” Xi’er suddenly said.
Upon hearing Xi'er's words, both Di Huo and I showed expressions of surprise and delight. However, Xiao Haoren's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly said to us, "Damn it, I'm not helping you deal with the Poison King. That Poison King is extremely cunning and terrifying, and he's also skilled in the Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth Technique, able to command ghost soldiers. I'm not helping you deal with him."
"What ghost soldiers are you talking about? Don't spout nonsense!" Earthfire stomped hard on Little Good Man's chest, then looked at him coldly and said, "What, you're afraid of the Poison King but not of us? Do you want to suffer some pain before helping us deal with the Poison King?"
“This…” His face was pale, and the little boy’s eyes kept darting around.
"Will you help us or not?" Di Huo pressed down hard with his feet again.
