Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 486: The Fierce Shangguan You (2)_1

"At the tender age of seventeen, I’m in the prime of my youth and beauty, blossoming like a flower. Unlike Miss Ye. She might look young and pretty, but in reality, she’s so old her hair is falling out, forcing her to wear a wig and a fake skin," Shangguan You finished, chuckling softly.

"Shangguan You, clarify yourself! Who’s losing their hair?" Ye An’s anger rose, but she couldn’t lay a hand on Shangguan You’s elusive figure.

"She’s ancient! If her hair isn’t falling out, what else would be? I truly pity Ye’s Third Young Master, such a handsome man married to an old witch. An old witch pretending to be young, no less."

Shangguan You continued with a faint smile, the gun in her hand aimed steadily at Ye An. "This piece of junk?" she said, indicating her gun. "You think this would work on me?"

"Miss Ye, why don’t you try it and see? This is the genuine article, unlike you, who’s shedding hair from head to toe."

"Shangguan You!" Ye An roared furiously, her eyes ablaze with rising anger.

"Hahaha, she’s actually using a pistol! Does she not realize where she is? The Shangguan Family, it seems, really isn’t up to much," Li Zhaohong laughed loudly. "Out there, a gun might be a vital weapon, but in Hidden World Village, could such a thing be of any use?"

Li Zhaohong hadn’t even finished laughing, her mouth hanging wide open, unable to make another sound.

"You think that broken gun is useful? A piece of scrap metal! I’ll show you the might of the Ye Family today!" Ye An scoffed. Though extremely irritated, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter as Shangguan You aimed the gun at her.

"You can try," Shangguan You said coolly, "but there’s no medicine for regret in this world." She then waved her hands, dissipating the incoming Spiritual Energy, and fired the gun toward Ye An.

BANG! Ye An’s transparent longsword split in two, clattering to the ground and shattering into pieces.

In an instant, the crowd was not just amazed but utterly shocked. They suddenly realized that the gun was no ordinary firearm.

"Shangguan You, this isn’t over between us! Give me back my sword!" Ye An’s eyes turned red in an instant. Her weapon, her Spiritual Artifact, smashed to pieces by a mere gun! How could this be happening?

Raising an eyebrow, Shangguan You was far from afraid. She aimed the gun at Ye An again, sweeping it across her. With several THUDS, Ye An’s originally gorgeous dress showed scorched patches where it was hit. Her beautiful hair also began to emit black smoke, and she staggered as a surge of blood rose to her chest.

Inside the barrier, Ye An was as disheveled and ferocious as one could imagine. In contrast to Ye An’s savage appearance, Shangguan You remained calm and composed. Not a single fold of her clothing was out of place. With a stylish flourish, she blew on the gun’s muzzle before putting it away.

"Miss Ye, do you concede now? Thank you for the twenty percent share you gave me. No, it should be the twenty percent share of Ye International. Thank you."

"Shangguan You, it’s either you or me today! The Young Master is mine; no one can snatch him away! The humiliation you’ve dealt me today, I will repay you double!" Ye An’s eyes slowly turned red, and her body floated into mid-air as she rapidly condensed Spiritual Energy in her hands.

"Is that so? It seems you’re not thinking clearly. Perhaps you need some water to cool your head," Shangguan You said coldly. With a flick of her finger, she conjured pale blue water droplets and hurled them at Ye An.

SPLASH! The droplets soaked Ye An from head to toe, leaving her looking like a drowned rat. The black marks on her dress quickly began to spread. The once lovely and charming Ye An instantly turned into a sooty mess, and her condensed Spiritual Energy rapidly dissipated. "Ice Seal!" Shangguan You called out softly. Instantly, Ye An’s body was encased in ice. Through the clear ice, Shangguan You could clearly see Ye An’s fiery eyes, filled with a hatred that made her entire being seem to burn.

It couldn’t be helped. The more Ye An’s Spiritual Energy flared in her struggle, the stronger the Ice Seal became. Correspondingly, the power of Shangguan You’s Four Spiritual Pearls also grew more potent.

CRACK! Ye An burst through the ice. Screaming like a shrew, she charged at Shangguan You. It was the first time Ye An had lost her composure like this, especially in front of Ye’s Third Young Master. How could she not be consumed by hatred? How could she possibly calm down? Today, she alone had disgraced herself and tarnished the Ye Family’s reputation. Even if she returned, the Eldest Young Master wouldn’t spare her.

"Shangguan You, I’ll kill you!"

"Miss Ye, we agreed to stop when a point was made. You can’t just act like a shrew because you lost." Shangguan You kicked Ye An squarely in the abdomen, sending her flying. THUD! Ye An landed heavily, with no chance to retaliate. Coughing up a mouthful of blood, she collapsed to the ground with internal injuries, unable to rise again.

All this happened in the blink of an eye. Shangguan You’s clean, decisive actions and the power of that small gun astonished everyone. Ye’s Third Young Master’s eyes twinkled with amusement as he watched Shangguan You’s innocent facade, a wave of sweetness washing over his heart.

With a graceful wave of his hand, the barrier vanished. The shocked murmurs of the crowd once again filled her ears.

"Ye An, you lost fair and square. How can you be so ungracious? You show no deportment at all, nothing like a member of the Ye Family! Apologize to Miss Shangguan!" Ye’s Third Young Master’s icy voice rang in Ye An’s ears. Sputtering another mouthful of blood, she fainted on the spot. This time, it was Ye’s Third Young Master’s contempt that caused her to faint. Ye An had seen the disdain and scorn in his eyes. For him, there was only Shangguan You. The realization was too much for Ye An to bear, and she fainted.

"Miss Ye seems too unwell to apologize. In that case, thank you for the twenty percent share, Ye’s Third Young Master," Shangguan You said, her voice detached. Her white skirt fluttered gently, giving her an incomparably ethereal aura. If Ye An was mud on the ground, then Shangguan You was a cloud in the sky—pure, untainted, serene, and breezy. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Miss Shangguan, I truly admire you. You managed to make An Ya lose control to such an extent that she couldn’t even display one-tenth of her usual skill. I must say, the Shangguan Family is truly brimming with talent," Ye’s Eldest Young Master said with a sweep of his hand as the unconscious An Ya was carried away. He then nodded at Shangguan You in acknowledgment.
