My Arrogant Young Lady

Damn, all these food stalls look delicious, and the three of us don't know which one to eat.

"Young Master, have you decided which one you want to eat?" Dong'er kept swallowing, her eyes fixed on the various delicacies in front of her.

"I'll eat whatever you say," I said.

"Oh dear, Xia'er has trouble making choices. I don't know which one to choose," Xia'er said.

“Me too, I want to eat all of this food,” Dong’er said.

"Shall we take a look around first?" I asked.

"Okay!" Xia'er nodded gently, then looked at me happily.

Damn, there are so many delicious things to eat, I really don't know which one to choose. I took my two little girls and we strolled around the street stalls.

In the distance, the centipede, seeing the array of delicious food on the street, became hesitant. He kept swallowing, then stole another glance at us, thinking, "The food in our country is indeed very good. Which dish will the prince and his party choose? There are so many! I don't even know how to poison them..."

On the other side, An Yao and Young Master Bao had already sat down in a KFC. Looking at the table full of fried chicken legs, hamburgers, fries, chicken wings, egg tarts, cola, and Jiuzhen juice, Young Master Bao could only look on with envy but dared not eat.

"Aren't you very hungry? Why aren't you eating?" An Yao's eyes were cold, and she clearly treated Young Master Bao and me differently.

"Why aren't you eating? Are you trying to use me as a test subject for poison?" Young Master Bao stared intently into An Yao's eyes.

"Hehe..." An Yao laughed disdainfully after hearing Young Master Bao's words. She picked up a piece of egg tart and gently opened her delicate mouth to take a bite.

"You dared to eat it without testing it with silver needles?!" Young Master Bao exclaimed in shock.

“Wang Huan is not only skilled at poisoning, he is also skilled at concocting poisons. Many of the poisons he concocts are colorless and odorless, and we cannot detect them even with silver needles. Besides, Wang Huan and his two poisoners are not with us, and these foods are inherently non-poisonous, so why shouldn’t I dare to eat them?” An Yao said coldly.

"Heh, you're so arrogant. What makes you so sure Wang Huan wasn't with us? Did you ask him?" Young Master Bao asked.

"No need to ask, you can guess with your little finger. Right now, Wang Huan is definitely with the weakest group among us, Di Huo and Qiu'er. As for Wang Huan's two poisoners, they will be with Wang Xi's group and Hurricane's group respectively. Because Xi'er's status is extremely noble, Wang Huan does not want to incur the wrath of the Ye family. If Xi'er is poisoned or injured again, within half a day, the Ye family will find Wang Huan in this huge provincial capital, beat him severely, and send him back to the Wang family."

"Moreover, Wang Huan had already tested Xi'er's strength before, and he was no match for her at all. As for me and Hurricane, in a one-on-one fight, Wang Huan is no match for me, and he would also pay a heavy price to deal with Hurricane, who is skilled in hidden weapons. There are also Dong'er and Xia'er by Wang Xi's side. Xia'er is very strong, and Dong'er's strength is even more destructive. Wang Huan has already suffered once at her hands, and he would never dare to cause trouble for Dong'er again."

“Only Di Huo and Qiu’er are involved. Di Huo is a chauvinist, and he won’t have much chemistry with Qiu’er. Qiu’er is gentle and won’t use any killing moves against enemies. To deal with them, Wang Huan doesn’t need to use poison; he can just attack head-on. As for the Hurricane Group and Wang Xi Group, they are just for testing. It would be best if they could be poisoned, but it doesn’t matter if they can’t. Tonight is not the real battle between us. Wang Huan will wear us down over the next few days and will only make his real move before we reunite with Senior Leng Yan,” An Yao said.

"Then...aren't Di Huo and Qiu'er in danger?" Young Master Bao exclaimed in alarm.

"The Poison Hall and the Fire Hall are the two major martial halls of our Wang family. Although Di Huo's strength is not as good as Wang Huan's, he still has his own abilities to become the head of the Fire Hall. If Di Huo goes all out, Wang Huan won't be able to stop him from leaving," An Yao said.

"I see, your analysis makes a lot of sense." Young Master Bao was relieved.

“An Yao can not only foresee what will happen tonight, but also what they will eat. Hurricane is obedient and cautious; he will definitely take Lu Zhicheng away to eat a few pieces of bread quickly, and then bring Lu Zhicheng back. Scorpion will not have a chance to attack them. My brother comes from an ordinary family and grew up with Zhang Xuan and my aunt, so his personality will be as indecisive as a girl's. He will take Xia'er and Dong'er to eat at street stalls, but he will find it difficult to choose when he sees the wide variety of street stalls. Centipede has been following them all the way, and he will definitely be stumped by their constantly changing targets. He will also not have a chance to attack my brother.”

"As for Xi'er, she's a woman of her word, and she's simple and generous. My brother asked her to take good care of Zhang Xuan. She will definitely take good care of Zhang Xuan. She will do her best to take good care of Zhang Xuan. At the same time, her IQ is no less than mine, and she will definitely be able to guess that Wang Huan won't go after her. She will probably take Zhang Xuan to the best restaurant in the province and treat Zhang Xuan to the best dinner. As for Di Huo and Qiu'er, they've already started a war with Wang Huan, haven't they..."

After An Yao finished speaking, the scene quickly switched to Di Huo and Qiu'er. Di Huo had already taken Qiu'er to a restaurant. After glancing at the menu, Di Huo said to the waiter, "Bring a few of your signature dishes, a pot of liquor, and two large bowls of rice."

"Brother Di Huo, Miss only told us to eat something light and go back quickly. It doesn't seem right for us to eat and drink so much like this, does it? Besides, if we eat a proper meal, Wang Huan will definitely have a chance to poison us..." Qiu'er whispered.

Looking at Qiu'er's docile appearance, Di Huo laughed and lit a cigarette. "Qiu'er, do you know? Our young lady is exceptionally intelligent, but Di Huo has his own abilities to become a hall master. If I'm not mistaken, Wang Huan is targeting us in this operation. But he won't poison us; he'll probably attack us head-on."

"What!?" Qiu'er looked out the window after hearing Di Huo's words.

"Eat up, eat your fill. It's better to die well than starve. Besides, Wang Huan doesn't have many helpers now, and his strength has been greatly weakened by us. Let's have a good meal, and when Wang Huan comes, what's wrong with fighting him? If Di Huo goes all out, Wang Huan won't be able to stop me!"

As he spoke, a small pot of liquor was brought over by the waiter. Di Huo sniffed the aroma of the liquor in the pot, smiled, raised the pot, and drank it all in one gulp. "One side of gratitude, one side of resentment, a drunken stupor can wash away a thousand sorrows!"

"Hehe, what a dashing Earth Fire, what a free-spirited Fire Hall Master..."

The door flung open with a whoosh, and a young man, exuding an aura of coldness, strode in. At that moment, a chill ran through the entire restaurant, and every guest who saw the boy couldn't help but shiver…

Chapter 119 Xi'er's Group's Dinner

"We've finally met." Di Huo glanced sideways at the empty wine jug.

"This is the first time we've met outside of our families." The young man's face, initially cold, gradually softened into a smile. Dressed in a sharp suit, he gracefully walked to the opposite side of the fire and sat down.

Before even making a move, she could already feel the chilling aura emanating from the young man. Qiu'er couldn't help but shift her body further into her seat, her face filled with worry as she cautiously observed Wang Huan sitting beside her.

Although the boy had a sinister look on his face, if he no longer harbored hatred, he would be a very handsome young man.

He likely inherited his mother's best features; his skin was fair, and his lips were red and his teeth white. His appearance clearly showed that his mother was a sweet woman. He also inherited many of his father's good looks: sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, radiating a vibrant, heroic spirit. His special status gave him an air of nobility that ordinary people lacked.

Looking at the boy beside her, Qiu'er couldn't help but blush. If this boy could take a walk around the school, if he had a little more of a smile on his face, he would definitely attract the favor of many girls and be pursued passionately by many girls.

And... he smells so good...

When the young man sat down, the other diners in the restaurant were initially drawn to him by his demeanor. Soon, however, they returned their attention to the food and drinks in front of them, raising their glasses and engaging in lively conversation.

Quietly, the young man smiled and gently touched the two gemstone rings on his left index and ring fingers. When the first dish was served and placed on the table, the young man spoke, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Fear is useless. Earth Fire is no match for the Second Young Master. How about letting Earth Fire die a full-fledged ghost?" Earth Fire smiled, without meeting the boy's gaze.

"As expected of the unrestrained earth fire, this young master grants your request." The young man smiled.

"Thank you, Second Young Master." Laughing, Di Huo then looked at the waiter and said, "Waiter, ten more pots of baijiu, please!"

"Holy crap..." Hearing Di Huo's boastful words, many guests were startled. They hadn't expected this red-haired thug to be such a heavy drinker.

Soon, jugs of liquor were placed in front of Di Huo, and platters of his best dishes were also served. He enjoyed a bite of good food and a sip of good liquor. After a moment's thought, Di Huo picked up a jug and asked, "Meeting an old friend in a foreign land. I'm delighted to see you here, Second Young Master. Would you like some, Second Young Master?"

"I won't drink." The boy smiled, his fingers lightly tracing the gemstone on his ring.

"Second Young Master, is it really necessary to kill the Crown Prince?" Di Huo suddenly downed all the liquor in one gulp and stared into the boy's eyes as he asked.

"He must be killed." The boy's expression turned cold.

"Why?" Di Huo asked.

“Because of him, I will not be valued by the family in the future,” the boy said coldly.

"Is status really that important?" Di Huo asked.

"Status is very important," the boy said.

"Is status just as important as family ties?" Di Huo asked.

"..." After hearing what Di Huo said, the boy fell silent.

At that moment, a surge of yin energy gradually emanated from the boy's body. This yin energy grew stronger and stronger, filling the entire restaurant. Many guests felt a chill and shivered involuntarily. The waiter quickly retrieved the air conditioner remote, only to find that the temperature was already set to the highest setting.

"Where did this draft come from?" The waiter, pale-faced, kept searching for any drafty spots in the restaurant.

"Earth Fire, you are the leader of the Fire Hall." The young man suddenly raised his eyes and spoke. At this moment, the yin energy in his eyes intensified, and they were filled with rage.

"Yes, you are the leader of the Poison Hall." Earthfire's eyes became wary, and he nodded slightly.

"You are the adopted son of the Wang family, and I am the biological son. We are both hall masters of the Wang family's martial arts hall, just like you. Over the years, we have grown up and made many contributions to the Wang family. But why is it that Wang Xi, after being raised in an ordinary family for over ten years, accomplished nothing and made no contribution to the Wang family, returns and immediately becomes the head of the Wang family, above all of us in the martial arts hall? Just because he is our eldest brother, the first son born to our father, he can be respected by everyone and marry the noble young master of the Yehenara family. Why? Why?!" His eyes filled with rage, the young man gradually let out a low growl.

"And do you know what? No matter how hard I try, no matter how much I suffer, those old fogies in the family look at me with new respect. But when they hear that Wang Xi is still alive, their eyes all change, their eyes are filled with surprise. They all say that only Wang Xi is the most suitable to become the head of the family. Why, why is that!?"

"Just because he's my father's first son, just because he has a distinguished mother, does all the hard work I've put in mean nothing? Just because my mother is an ordinary person, my maternal grandparents are just ordinary engineers, and my maternal family's influence isn't as great as this top underworld boss in the provincial capital, does that mean I'm not qualified to inherit the family headship?"

"Do you know how many people in my family have looked down on me since I was a child? They looked down on me because I was born to an ordinary woman, and they looked down on my family because they didn't have much money. During the New Year, An Yao and Wang Che would casually give out priceless antiques as gifts. But my family didn't have money, and I worked hard to earn it for the family. I finally managed to buy jade to give to those old folks, but they just glanced at it and put it aside, telling me to be frugal. Do you know how painful it is to be looked down on like that?!" Gradually, the veins on the boy's forehead bulged, and his face became increasingly ferocious.

At that moment, Qiu'er was shocked by the anger unleashed by the young man...

"To be respected, to avoid being looked down upon, I worked desperately hard. My talent wasn't as good as my two younger brothers, so I specialized in poisons and diligently studied divination and feng shui. Now I finally saw a glimmer of hope. Without Wang Xi, I could become the heir of the family, I could inherit our family. But Wang Xi is coming back. He destroyed everything I had. I can't let anyone look down on me anymore, I can't let anyone look down on my mother anymore. I must become the head of the family and trample all those who once looked down on me under my feet!"

"I'm going to kill you all! I'm going to kill Wang Xi!" the boy suddenly roared, his entire body emanating a thick aura of black energy.

In an instant, the boy smashed the wooden table in front of him with a single palm strike. Then, he slammed another palm strike into the earth fire.

"Second Young Master, you're possessed by a demon in your heart. You're too insecure. Our family elders are all good people. They are all brothers who have risked their lives alongside the family head. When you were born, the family celebrated for you grandly. Every one of them had a genuine joy on their face. How could they possibly look down on you?!" Suddenly, Di Huo flipped backward, dodging the boy's fierce palm strike.

Then, Di Huo clenched his fist and looked at the boy in front of him, saying, "They didn't seem happy to accept your gift because they know your family isn't wealthy. They pity you, they feel sorry for the money you worked so hard to earn, they don't want you to spend it, they just want you to be filial to your mother. In June, it was the elder of our family's birthday, and Lightning only drew him a card, and the elder was so happy he couldn't sleep all night. Each of our family's elders possesses enormous wealth; they are not the kind of petty people who are greedy for money."

"Furthermore, the Crown Prince's mother is the number one expert in the world. She has saved our family from danger time and time again. Back then, that heinous demon was resurrected. If it weren't for the Crown Prince's mother taking action for the family, she would have been seriously injured, causing her strength to drop to one-tenth. How could she have been chased to such a small place, injured again, and caused the Crown Prince to have his meridians broken, leaving him ill for thirteen years?"

"The Crown Prince and his mother have suffered too much for our family. You grew up in the family, pampered and carefully nurtured. The Crown Prince has everything, but he has nothing. He has been humiliated, mocked, and bullied; he has endured countless injustices since childhood. But now that we are here, we can avenge him. Even with the deepest hatred in his heart, he hasn't used us to seek revenge. Our family is too large; the slightest misstep could lead to its destruction. The Crown Prince is gentle yet firm; after our careful observation, he is indeed the best candidate to inherit the family. Second Young Master, your personality is too insecure, and your aggression is too strong. How can we entrust the family to someone like you?!"

"Oh, so you're saying I'm still inferior to Wang Xi?" the boy sneered.

"Damn it, I've said so much and you didn't listen to a single word!?" Di Huo exclaimed in shock.

"Heh, you still look down on me. A mere adopted son of the Wang family. How dare you insult my mother. If I don't become the head of the family, even the soldiers of the family will look down on me." The young man sneered and struck the earth fire with a palm.

"Qiu'er, quickly help me! The Second Young Master is filled with obsession; we can only fight him with force!" Di Huo leaped up and kicked the boy hard.

"Alright!" Qiu'er nodded, took out her short sword, and fiercely stabbed at the boy.

But just as her short sword was about to pierce the boy's back, she abruptly swung it away. Because of this sudden retraction, the energy within her body immediately became disordered.

Thump, thump, at this moment Qiu'er felt extremely uncomfortable, and her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her body. Finally, her face turned pale and blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"You plotted against me?" Turning around, the young man smiled as he looked at the blood at the corner of Qiu'er's mouth. Then, he gently unbuttoned his suit jacket and ripped off his tie.

Throwing off her coat, Qiu'er was shocked to see that the boy was wearing a golden silk armor.

"Qiu'er has fallen for the trap!" Biting her lip, Qiu'er's eyes immediately showed regret.

"Ha ha……"

When she looked at the boy again, he had already transformed into a black whirlwind and rushed towards her. She quickly raised her sword and retreated, but the boy's hand grabbed the sharp blade of her sword in an instant.

With a snap, the short sword in her hand was quickly twisted in two by the boy. In his right hand, a completely black iron glove had appeared out of nowhere.

After breaking Qiu'er's short sword, the young man slapped Qiu'er away with a powerful blow.

With a bang, Qiu'er landed heavily, smashing a table to pieces.

"Qiu'er, be careful!" At this moment, Di Huo's eyes changed. Just as he was about to make a move, the boy released a cloud of black mist towards him.

A thick black mist enveloped the area. Another iron palm struck out. Di Huo immediately kicked out, but the iron palm had already knocked him away heavily.

"Holy crap, who is this kid?!" Seeing how fierce the boy was, all the diners in the restaurant were dumbfounded.

"Qiu'er, come here..." Spitting out blood, Di Huo stared intently at the boy.

"Brother Di Huo..." Upon hearing Di Huo's words, Qiu'er laboriously crawled towards him.

He and Qiu'er helped each other to their feet. Suddenly, Di Huo's eyes turned bloodshot. Gritting his teeth, Di Huo clenched his fists and looked at the young man, saying, "Wang Huan, I, Di Huo, will never let the Wang family fall into your hands. Even if I die in battle, I will protect the young master so he can ascend to the position of family head!"

"Heh, then you can die now..." the boy sneered, and struck the two of them hard with another palm.

"I, Dihuo, will not die like this!"

With a loud roar, Earthfire suddenly clenched his fist and pounded his chest. At that moment, a thick stench of alcohol spewed from his mouth. With a whoosh, the alcohol vapor transformed into a massive ball of flame that lunged towards the boy…

……

"Xi'er, we're just out for a meal, there's no need to be so polite."

The best restaurant in the provincial capital was Manhanlou. Its decor was exquisite, and the melodious sound of a pipa could be heard intermittently. Beside Zhang Xuan and Xi'er stood several waiters dressed in Manchu and Han costumes. Before them was a huge dining table, and in just twenty minutes, the waiters had already brought out more than twenty exquisite dishes and placed them before them.
