My Arrogant Young Lady

Thinking about all this, I couldn't help but take a deep breath and look up at the building. Three more floors and I'd be on the roof; my heart was pounding with anxiety.

One step, two steps, I climbed the dilapidated stairs, sweat pouring down my forehead. Finally, when I reached the rooftop, a chilling gust of wind blew towards me.

Before me lay a vast open space, windowless, with paper money fluttering in the air. A young boy stood amidst this sea of ​​paper money, his back to me, gazing at the distant scenery.

Suddenly, he whirled around. His eyes were bloodshot, and he smiled as he scattered another handful of paper money, saying, "Brother, you are the heir of my Wang family. In this life, I took your wealth and status; in the next, I will make sure you are equally wealthy!"

Chapter 127 Wang Huan's Disappointment

The wind blew, and the building emitted a piercing whistle. But the paper money was silent, soft, flying past me, either landing softly on the ground or being blown far away by the wind.

I know that this paper money was prepared for me; it is the wealth he gave me for my next life.

Because he has taken my wealth, he will kill me and take everything that belongs to me.

Seeing his reddened eyes, my heart ached. I couldn't help but light a cigarette, a profound desolation washing over me. "Where's the antidote?"

“Right here.” He tossed a small box in front of me.

I glanced at the box on the ground, picked it up, and carefully put it away. Although he was skilled at using underhanded tactics, I trusted him and believed he wouldn't lie to me. Because I had already given him my life. This antidote was the antidote I obtained by sacrificing my life for An Yao.

After thinking for a moment, I found a sheltered spot and sat down against the wall. I took a deep drag on my cigarette. I carefully examined my younger brother's appearance.

He was handsome, dressed in a sharp suit. He resembled me in some ways, yet we were also different. Perhaps it was because our mothers were different; his lips were red, delicate like a girl's. His mouth always turned down, as if he had suffered many injustices. But his eyes revealed a resolute determination, showing his strong character. No matter how great the difficulties he encountered, he would not fall.

At that moment, he was looking at me too. His eyes were red, and he was still biting his lip, scattering large amounts of paper money. With each scatter, he seemed to exert extra force. Looking at me, tears gradually streamed down his face.

“Brother, we were born into wealth, so we are destined not to live like ordinary people. And you should know how big our family is. And you should also know about my mother’s family background. Although my mother’s family was well-off, compared with many of the children in our Wang family, my mother’s family was much poorer.”

“My family isn’t like your uncle’s, who’s incredibly wealthy and a notorious gangster. We’re just ordinary, law-abiding citizens. We can’t afford to give me a lot of pocket money during holidays. If I want to earn money, I have to work hard and earn it with my own hands! But even so, many people still look down on me. When it’s New Year’s and I see An Yao and Che’er dressed in their finest clothes, do you know how sad I am?”

"I hid in a corner, secretly watching my other siblings being pampered and praised by the family elders. Do you know how lonely I was?"

“I heard them say that I have an older brother. Because my aunt wanted him to be an ordinary person, she sent him to be raised by an ordinary family. At that time, I was very curious about what my brother looked like. He grew up in an ordinary family, so his life must have been very ordinary. I am so miserable, maybe he is ten times more miserable than me. So I sympathize with him. I have always wanted to see him. I know that we are in the same boat, and if I see him, we will definitely have a lot to talk about.”

"I really wish I had an older brother to love me. I'm so lonely, and I crave the warmth of family."

"..." Seeing the tears streaming down Wang Huan's face, I couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

Smiling, Wang Huan took out a large handful of paper money and threw it into the air. Then, with tears glistening in his eyes, he said, "I've also thought that if I could become the head of the family, I would come to this country to find him and tell him that he still has a family, that he has a younger brother who misses him. He has suffered so much; he is a child of our Wang family, and he shouldn't have to suffer. I want to become his best brother and take good care of him for the rest of my life."

"But when I learned of his whereabouts, I saw the entire Wang family in shock. They were all shouting, they were all celebrating, they were all saying, 'Wang Xi has been found! Wang Xi has been found! An Yao has found Wang Xi! Our Wang family can finally be entrusted to someone we can trust. Only he is the most suitable person to become the head of the family, and only he is qualified to be the head of the family!'"

"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Wang Huan's tears dried, and his expression gradually turned ferocious.

The cigarette was finished. It burned my fingers. I threw away the cigarette butt and looked at Wang Huan's increasingly ferocious expression, saying, "You're probably thinking, what is he? Why is it that all my efforts haven't earned me any respect, while he's never even shown his face in the family, and hasn't contributed anything to the Wang family? What right does he have to be the head of the family? What right does he have to be respected? Why isn't it me, Wang Huan, who has made great contributions to the Wang family, who is being respected?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I thought, or rather, that's not what I thought at first." Wang Huan quickly waved his hand, then looked at me seriously and said, "When I learned that An Yao had found you and that you were about to inherit the family's status as heir, I didn't think about anything at all."

"And then?" I asked.

"Then... I couldn't understand it anymore. What right did you have to inherit the family business? What right did you have to be valued by everyone? I've given so much, and those old fogies don't even give me a second glance," Wang Huan said.

"I guess it's because you don't want to talk to them, so they don't want to talk to you either. You're insecure and introverted, and you don't know how to say nice things to make people like you. So they don't like you either, right?" I asked.

"No, it's because they look down on my family for not being rich, and they look down on me for not being able to give them nice gifts. Brother, look. These two rings are gifts I bought for two elders in the family, but they both look down on me and think my rings aren't valuable enough. They returned them to me." After saying this, the boy showed off two gemstone rings on the index and ring fingers of his left hand.

"Heh, I really wanted to throw these two rings away back then, but I earned them through hard work. I couldn't bear to throw them away, so I wore them myself. Look how good An Yao and Che'er are, their families are rich, they don't have to do anything, and they can still wear lots of expensive jewelry." The boy pouted, a self-deprecating expression of disappointment.

“I’ve heard that the elders in the family are all very kind. Why would they look down on you? Maybe they think it’s too hard for you to earn the things you buy, and they don’t want your gifts,” I said.

"No, they just look down on me, they just look down on me! Those old bastards, I'm going to kill them all!" the boy suddenly roared at me, his eyes red.

When the boy roared at me, I was startled by his loud howl. Fear gripped me, and I pressed my entire back against the wall.

"Brother, you are my family, you share the same blood as me. I love you, but you shouldn't have appeared, you shouldn't have shattered my dreams! You are the heir, you have become the head of the family, how can I become the head of the family? How can I take revenge on them? How can I earn everyone's respect? Just die already, I don't want to talk to you anymore. Watching you being killed by me, my heart aches so much!" He roared loudly, thick black energy constantly emanating from Wang Huan's body.

Seeing that Wang Huan's personality had become extremely twisted, and a sharp killing intent flashed in his eyes, I knew I didn't want to die, even though I was willing to give my life for An Yao's. Now that I had the antidote, I didn't want to die. I had also promised An Yao that when she woke up, she would see me. We would work together to shoulder the responsibilities of the family and make it better.

After thinking for a moment, I immediately said to him, "You beast, you even killed your own brother, you're shameless!" After saying that, I quickly rolled on the ground and scrambled downstairs.

As I ran downstairs, I was terrified. I knew he really wanted to kill me; if I was too slow, he would kill me. And I didn't want to die, nor did I want to be injured. Damn it, he's a martial arts master! If he hit me, I'd be bedridden for ten days or two weeks.

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and the more panicked I felt. Just as I reached the top of the stairs, a sudden, gust of cold wind swept in from behind me.

I felt like I'd been hit by a car; everything went black, and I tumbled downstairs. Blood started flowing from the corner of my mouth, and my whole body felt like it was falling apart.

"Heh, Wang Huan thought you were so noble, willing to give your life for your sister. Turns out you're afraid of death too. What a disappointment..." With a smile, Wang Huan walked lightly down the stairs...

Chapter 128 The Thirteen Bodyguards of Horizontal Training

By the moonlight and the lamplight streaming in from the window, I saw that Wang Huan's face had calmed down. He not only appeared calm, but even smiled, looking quite smug. He walked downstairs step by step, whistling as he went. He seemed completely unconcerned and utterly relaxed.

As he walked towards me step by step, my scalp tingled with fear. Now, he didn't look like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy at all, but rather like a ruthless, deranged killer.

If he had some reluctance before when he killed me for power, now he must have shed his psychological burden and become indifferent to killing his own brother.

Damn it. He'll definitely kill me!

Thinking of this, I disregarded my injuries. Gritting my teeth, I quickly flipped over and rolled down to the fifth floor below. This haunted building was like many old buildings. Each floor had a long corridor with apartments on both sides. In other words, it was like our school dormitory. But this building had been abandoned for many years, and the interior was extremely filthy. Everywhere you looked, there was trash discarded by explorers, as well as old furniture and tattered clothes left behind by former residents. Occasionally, a putrid stench wafted from somewhere, utterly disgusting.

In the early 1990s, the new apartment buildings in the provincial capital didn't have security doors. The residents here all had wooden doors. Over time, those doors had long since fallen apart.

After I climbed to the fifth floor, I got up and ran as fast as I could. A chilling wind swept around me as I ran. Occasionally, I glanced at the neighboring houses; they were all dark, and I could vaguely see rotten sofas and broken furniture. In one house, a dirty doll was sitting on the rotten sofa. Damn, that scared me to death.

But I didn't care how scary it was anymore; my life was the most important thing. Seeing Wang Huan calmly walking towards me from behind made me even more afraid.

At that moment, a thought inexplicably popped into my mind: humans are scarier than ghosts.

Unable to contain my fear, I let out a loud scream and ran to the end of the corridor, disappearing into a house. As soon as I entered, I was hit by a strong, stench of decay. I didn't know what was coming from, so I found a cabinet and crawled inside. Then I held my breath, my heart pounding wildly.

Crack, crack, Wang Huan, he walked towards me step by step on the broken glass on the ground. As he walked, he was leisurely whistling.

"Brother, are you really that useless? You can't beat me, so you just hide like a coward. Compared to Xi'er's family, our Wang family is practically royalty. Our father had seven children, and every single one of them was so outstanding. No. It's you, though. You grew up in poverty, you have no skills whatsoever, and you don't even have the guts."

“Brother, don’t be afraid. If you die, you die. I’ll burn lots of money for you in the underworld. You can be the heir down there, and I’ll be the heir up there. Our Wang family will have two heirs at the same time. What a perfect thing that is…hehe…” With a bang, Wang Huan kicked open the wooden door and walked in.

As soon as he walked in, I immediately felt a chill run down my spine. My body went cold, and my teeth chattered uncontrollably. To prevent the chattering from making a sound, I put my fingers in my mouth to prevent him from hearing the noise, finding me, and killing me.

"..."

A moment of silence followed; suddenly, there was no sound outside. Not a sound at all, not even the wind. I was surprised, but a sense of calm gradually settled in. I couldn't help but frown, wondering, "Where did Wang Huan go?"

It was eerily quiet outside. I didn't know where Wang Huan had gone, but he hadn't come out of the closet either. He was hiding inside, and I dared not make a sound.

As time ticked by, half an hour passed. Outside, however, it remained eerily quiet.

Gradually, my doubts grew. The silence outside had lasted far too long. If it had only been quiet for a short while, I would have thought Wang Huan was deliberately keeping watch over me. But the silence had lasted so long that I suspected he had left.

Perhaps he really is gone?

Thinking of this, I carefully pushed open the cabinet. The instant I opened it, my face turned ashen.

Wang Huan stood right in front of me. In the moonlight, his face was pale. Looking at me, his eyes gleamed, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Ah ...

I was furious too. I clenched my fists and glared at him, saying, "Wang Huan, no matter what, we're brothers. Since you won't let me have an easy time, I won't let you have an easy time either!"

"Oh?" Wang Huan smiled.

Remembering the martial arts Leng Yan taught me, I flashed forward and rushed in front of Wang Huan. I clenched my fist and threw a powerful punch at him.

Wang Huan was surprised and gently deflected my fist. When I threw another punch at him, Wang Huan smiled and said, "Brother, your kung fu has actually improved, and quite rapidly at that?"

"You're the one who forced me into this!" I roared, and threw another punch at him.

When I first met Wang Huan, Leng Yan guided me through a short cycle of martial arts training. Afterwards, Leng Yan again guided me through another short cycle of martial arts training.

The intense physical training and the daily hellish training methods have made me a completely different person from before.

While thinking to myself that I couldn't die, I kept attacking him rapidly. He, however, either blocked or dodged, a smile on his face, appearing extremely relaxed.

Knowing I was no match for him, I threw another punch and turned to run. Just as I was about to escape the room, a chilling wind swept up behind me once more.

Right now, kung fu isn't my forte; my strengths lie in my agile movements and incredibly resilient physique. Feeling the fierce, eerie wind behind me, I easily dodged Wang Huan's attack.

With a snap, dust flew from the dilapidated wall beside me. Wang Huan looked at me coldly and said, "Although your kung fu is only rudimentary, your movement skills are surprisingly good. If you were to train harder for a while longer, I'm afraid Wang Huan wouldn't be able to beat you."

"Fuck you!" I cursed at Wang Huan and then turned and ran away.

"You ill-mannered brat, you really are a child raised by the poor." Wang Huan's voice was icy, and he transformed into a gust of black wind that swept towards me.

A cold wind swept across my face, and in the black wind, I saw Wang Huan's shadow. Gradually, I could see his cold face clearly, and I could see his fist coming at me.

Just as he was about to strike me, I quickly dodged his attack. Then he came at me with a fierce kick, and I rolled backward in fright.

I had barely gotten up when he kicked me away. Seeing him throw another punch at me, I suddenly tensed all my muscles, shouting, "Thirteen Bodyguards of the Horizontal Legion!"

With a loud thud, his fist struck my body heavily. I felt an immense force almost piercing through my body, and I tensed all my muscles, letting out a roar.

The air rippled instantly. I felt that his fierce punch could not penetrate my body. Then, the force spread outwards along the muscles on the surface of my body, and gradually disappeared when it spread to my limbs.

I actually managed to take his punch head-on. And, I wasn't injured at all.

What surprised me even more was that after he punched me, I could clearly feel my muscles becoming more energetic than before. At that moment, every cell in my body seemed to awaken. They kept opening and closing, as if yearning for something.

Staring wide-eyed at the changes in my body, I looked at Wang Huan in surprise and said, "Wang Huan, throw another punch?"

"What!" Wang Huan's sword-like eyebrows shot up.

"Fuck you, if you dare, punch me again!" I suddenly yelled at Wang Huan.

"Wang Xi, how dare you insult my mother!" Wang Huan was furious and threw a vicious punch at me.

This time, his punches were far more ferocious than before. In fact, the power was several times greater. Before the fist even landed, the wind from it arrived first. His fist wind was filled with sinister energy, as sharp as a razor-sharp knife.

Feeling the fierce energy hurtling towards me, I immediately took a deep breath and tensed all the muscles in my body.

With a snap, time seemed to slow down.

A massive black hammer slammed heavily onto a golden round mirror.

As soon as the two objects came into contact, the golden round mirror immediately began to buzz loudly, constantly vibrating and deflecting the immense force of the black giant hammer. It even bounced the black giant hammer off course, sending it flying slightly.

In an instant, time sped up again.

Wang Huan stared at me in astonishment, feeling the force rebounding from my body and taking a half-step back. I, on the other hand, let out a long roar and was forcefully knocked back seven or eight meters by Wang Huan.

As the dust settled, blood trickled from the corner of my mouth. Looking up at Wang Huan, an indescribable joy welled up within me…
