Arrogant Woman

Qin Yuan chose to walk to Heaven Dou Royal Academy this time, foregoing the carriage.

Li Fu, acting as his bodyguard, followed silently behind.

Walking through the bustling streets, he weaved through the dense crowds, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

He hadn't stopped for a single moment in the past three years, dedicating every day to honing his skills.

Now, he planned to take a break, and after obtaining the immortal herb and returning from the Star Dou Great Forest, he would then learn new techniques.

Every time he passed a vendor's stall, he would buy a snack. He loved these down-to-earth delicacies, both in his past life and this one.

Unknowingly, he had walked out of Heaven Dou City. After strolling leisurely for about twenty li, he arrived before the gates of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy was located twenty li outside Heaven Dou City, atop an isolated mountain. Qin Yuan spotted the indistinct buildings on the mountain from afar.

He stood before the magnificent gates of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, not entering immediately, but admiring the top academy in the Soul Master World.

Song Qingshuang was walking out of the academy with her best friend Zhao Shuang'er, heading into Heaven Dou City for some shopping. The two were chatting and laughing.

Zhao Shuang'er said with a giggle, "Qingshuang, you've really met Ling Tian? Hurry and tell me, what does this Ling Tian, hailed as the number one genius in the Soul Master World, actually look like?"

"I really want to meet him too, but Ling Tian's whereabouts are a mystery, and no one knows where he is. I can only meet him in my dreams. In my dreams, he's so gentle with me, hehe..."

Seeing her best friend daring to have secret rendezvous with her beloved in her dreams, a hint of displeasure flashed in Song Qingshuang's beautiful eyes, but on the other hand, she felt incredibly proud and honored.

Without even meeting him, he could make a Marquis's daughter so infatuated. He truly was the man Song Qingshuang had set her sights on.

However, this pride and honor were truly baseless. Moreover, she had personally pushed away the man of her heart, even going to his home to break off the engagement.

"Him? He's heroic, powerful, aloof, and cold. He's simply a Divine Son descended from the heavens, so majestic he doesn't seem real..."

Song Qingshuang also spoke with infatuation and shyness, showering him with the highest praise, even though she had only seen him from afar back then.

But soon, her effusive praise came to an abrupt halt. The infatuated and shy beauty of her face instantly turned cold, a look of unspeakable disgust and disdain flashing in her eyes.

Her beautiful eyes fell upon the handsome young man standing before the academy gates, and Song Qingshuang's heart filled with anger:

"We've already broken off the engagement, yet he still comes to the academy to find me. Doesn't he have any shame? Must I make it clear in person!"

"Wow! Qingshuang, look! That person is so handsome! Even more handsome than the Ling Tian in my dreams!" Zhao Shuang'er exclaimed with bright, surprised eyes.

Tch! What a fickle woman! Unlike me, who only likes Brother Ling Tian... Song Qingshuang felt utter contempt for her best friend.

But then, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and she thought with considerable smugness:

The one Zhao Shuang'er is amazed by is merely the person I, Song Qingshuang, discarded.

Thinking this, she spoke to the infatuated Zhao Shuang'er in a casual, languid tone:

"I have something to take care of. Wait for me here."

"Qingshuang, what is it?" Zhao Shuang'er asked curiously.

Song Qingshuang didn't answer. Instead, she walked expressionlessly towards the handsome young man Zhao Shuang'er was admiring.

This made Zhao Shuang'er's eyes widen.

Song Qingshuang walked up to Qin Yuan with a blank expression and said unhappily:

"Qin Yuan, why are you here? It's over between us. The engagement has been broken off. Your uncle personally agreed to it!"

As she spoke, she subtly glanced at her best friend behind her, suppressing the urge to curl her lips, forcing down the sense of superiority in her heart, and deliberately raised her voice, speaking impatiently:

"Qin Yuan, I hope you won't pester me anymore. Doing this will only make me detest you even more! You are not worthy of me at all, and it will never be possible between us!"

Hearing Song Qingshuang's words, Zhao Shuang'er's eyes widened to the fullest, her face filled with shock.

This handsome young man was looking for Song Qingshuang! And it looked like he was pestering her!

Zhao Shuang'er couldn't help but feel envious, jealous, and resentful: Damn Song Qingshuang, she's got such good taste!

Song Qingshuang, already imagining her best friend's envious, jealous, and shocked expression, had a glint of triumph in her eyes. She spoke to Qin Yuan even more mercilessly, scolding him without restraint:

"Did you hear what I said? Remember, don't pester me again. That will only make me look down on you even more! You're on your own! Hmph! Someone who doesn't know their own worth!"

Song Qingshuang glanced at Qin Yuan with disgust and turned to leave.

Qin Yuan was completely bewildered, unable to comprehend what was happening.

He was standing here admiring the scenery of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and this woman, who might have lost her mind, suddenly appeared and proceeded to lecture and scorn him from a superior position.

He couldn't figure it out: Where does this woman get her confidence?

Unable to understand, he said:

"Wait."

"Are you annoying or what!!" Song Qingshuang turned back and yelled impatiently.

A palm rapidly enlarged in her vision and landed heavily on her delicate and beautiful cheek.

Slap!!!

Song Qingshuang was sent flying by Qin Yuan's slap.

Behind them, Zhao Shuang'er's mouth slowly fell open, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Song Qingshuang, sprawled on the ground covered in dirt, was stunned.

She lay on the ground, touching her burning hot cheek with disbelief.

It hurt, and it was swollen.

A surge of almost uncontrollable rage instantly flooded her heart. Song Qingshuang, who had never suffered any grievance in her life, lost her reason and shrieked resentfully:

"Uncle Zhang, kill him for me!!!"

A figure suddenly appeared, blocking in front of Song Qingshuang. His aged face was filled with displeasure as he suppressed his anger and stared at Qin Yuan, saying:

"Young Master Qin Yuan, don't you think you've gone a bit too far?"

"Too far?" Qin Yuan lazily picked at his ear, glancing indifferently at the other person, and casually ordered:

"Uncle Fu, go teach him what 'too far' really means."

"Yes, Young Master." Li Fu, standing behind Qin Yuan, respectfully accepted the order.

His figure vanished instantly, appearing before Uncle Zhang like a phantom. His hand, like a heavy hammer, smashed fiercely onto Uncle Zhang's terrified old face.

WHAM!!!!!

Like a thunderclap, Uncle Zhang spat blood, his teeth stained red as they flew out. He spun like a top and crashed into the dense forest, unlikely to get up.

Dealing with a Soul Emperor was as simple as suppressing him with one hand for Li Fu.

"Young Master, it's done," Li Fu respectfully returned to Qin Yuan's side.

"Mm, well done. Otherwise, people might think this young master is easy to bully."

Nodding in satisfaction, Qin Yuan walked up to Song Qingshuang, whose face was filled with resentment. He carefully examined her swollen half-face, finding it uncomfortable to look at, so he...

Slap!!

He backhanded the other half of Song Qingshuang's face, which visibly began to swell.

"Mm, that's better."

Looking at Song Qingshuang with both sides of her face equally swollen, Qin Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
