I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 109 You're thanking me too soon.

It seems a little different.

But this is good too, because it makes it less likely for you to be bullied. It's always better to bully others than to be bullied yourself.

Ji Zhaozhe thought to himself, then put away the jade token.

After dealing with the merchant, Ruan Qi approached Madam Shang, squinted at her, and smiled, "It's your turn, Madam."

"You, you mustn't come any closer." Madam Shang said fearfully, moving closer to the artificial hill.

"Ruan Jin, you shameless woman, why didn't you reincarnate after you died? What are you doing here looking for me!"

Ruan Qi was slightly taken aback, then realized that Madam Shang was treating her as her mother. She smiled faintly and said, "Madam, have you forgotten? Ruan Jin's soul was scattered by you back then."

How could she possibly be here?

"Then...who are you...?" Madam Shang stammered upon hearing this.

“Me?” Ruan Qi curled her lips and weighed the long sword in her hand. “I am the devil who is taking your life for her sake.”

"Let me think, how did she die back then..." Ruan Qi pretended to think, as if he was seriously recalling.

Madam Shang knew all too well about Ruan Jin's death. Thinking back to how she had caused Ruan Jin's death, Madam Shang felt a chill run down her spine. She then pleaded with the man before her, "Please, sir, please spare me. I don't want to end up like Ruan Jin."

Then, as if remembering something, he hurriedly said to Ruan Qi, "My lord, my family has many treasures. If you spare me, I will offer you all the treasures in my family!"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Qi nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, that is indeed a good offer."

Upon hearing this, Madam Shang was overjoyed. "Thank you, sir, for sparing my life! Thank you, sir, for sparing my life... Ah!"

"You're thanking me too soon," Ruan Qi laughed, casually severing one of Madam Shang's arms. "If I kill you all, won't the Shang family's treasures still belong to us?"

Why bother letting you go, huh?

After saying that, he cut off Madam Shang's other arm.

"Ah!" Madam Shang couldn't help but cry out in pain, almost fainting.

"Can't you even handle this? I haven't even broken your bones yet." Ruan Qi's voice was clear and crisp, but to Madam Shang, it sounded like the whisper of a demon.

"How did you treat her back then..." Ruan Qi murmured.

"You break her bones and tendons, shatter them inch by inch, then control her soul, and use the fire from the Soul-Extinguishing Lamp to annihilate it bit by bit..."

With each word Ruan Qi spoke, Madam Shang couldn't help but shrink back.

Noticing Madam Shang's actions, Ruan Qi lowered her head and smiled at her, "Scared?"

"But when you did those things back then, why didn't you feel afraid?"

“You’ve already lost both arms, so let’s start with your Achilles tendons.”

……

For a moment, the entire courtyard was filled with Madam Shang's wailing, the sound piercing and mournful.

Unable to bear it any longer, Ruan Qi cast a silencing spell on her throat, instantly quieting the courtyard down.

After dealing with Madam Shang, Ruan Qi coldly looked at the dilapidated corpse in his hand, controlled the floating soul with his right hand, and released a ball of Nine Heavens Profound Fire with his left hand.

It burst into flames, and the cries of the souls were even sharper and more piercing than human voices. Fortunately, the Nine Heavens Mystic Fire was powerful, and it burned out quickly, so the souls were not tormented by the sounds for too long.

After everyone watched in silence, Gu Qiqing, Leng Zhan, and the others couldn't help but gasp. That clean and efficient technique seemed so familiar...

As they were thinking, the group subconsciously glanced back and forth in the direction of Yun Qingyi and Yun Qingrou, and suddenly realized that they had found the answer.

After that, I secretly made up my mind that I would never mess with these people again.

Ruan Qi looked at Madam Shang, who had completely disappeared in front of her, turned around, and walked towards Shang Yu.

"Ahhhhh! Don't come any closer!" Shang Yu screamed in terror, having witnessed everything.

Ruan Qi's eyes darkened, and with a swift movement, he brought his sword down, and Shang Yu fell to the ground, lifeless.

“There’s no one left in this patriarch’s mansion.” Yun Qingyi withdrew her divine sense from the Shang mansion and said to Ruan Qi.

Apart from the elder merchant who was in charge, the rest of the people in the family mansion were just small fry. They had already run away in distress when Yun Qingrou gathered water elemental spiritual power, so there was no one left.

Ruan Qi looked at the empty mansion, the place where she and her mother had lived for six years.

She nodded to Yun Qingyi and walked towards the backyard of the mansion, wanting to take one last look at the courtyard where she and her mother had lived.

Seeing this, Yun Qingyi exchanged glances with the others and followed.

The backyard was very large, much larger than she remembered. Presumably, the merchant had taken in many more women over the years, but now it was all empty.

Ruan Qi walked along the courtyard path, where there were some fallen jewelry pieces on the ground, which must have been accidentally dropped by the people in the backyard when they ran away.

Tsk tsk.

Yun Qingyi sighed as she picked up one after another.

Somewhat astonishing, are the people in the backyard of this Shang mansion really this extravagant? They just say they don't want jewelry and ornaments.

Sure enough, Yun Qingyi examined the jewelry in her hand.

Judging by its quality, it could sell for quite a few spirit stones.

If it were before, Yun Qingyi would have skipped over it without even blinking. What a joke! As the eldest daughter of the Yun family of Qingcheng, would she lack such a thing?

But now she has Ao Jin, and Ao Jin's attitude of eating millions of spirit stones in one meal.

She really had to be careful to save money, otherwise, with her meager amount of spirit stones, how could she possibly feed it for several meals!

Everyone watched Yun Qingyi's actions silently, and no one spoke for a moment.

Leng Zhan: "???"

Wait, isn't my martial uncle from the Qingcheng Yun family? How come he seems to be going broke in less than half a month?

Gu Qiqing was moved by what she saw. No wonder the Yun family was the richest family in the entire Cangling Continent. Look at them, even though they are rich, they don't let go of any small amount of money.

Ji Zhaoling and Gu Qiqing thought the same thing, and their gazes toward Yun Qingyi became increasingly adoring.

Ji Zhaoze's eyes were clear and calm. He remembered his master's words and rubbed the storage ring on his finger.

Yun Qingrou fell completely silent, secretly plotting how she could reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Only she knew why her older sister was like this. The little phoenix did eat a lot, but once she reached the Nascent Soul stage, she could freely develop the spiritual vein in that space.

Then my sister won't have to worry about raising mythical beasts anymore.

After walking for a while, Ruan Qi finally stopped in front of a "courtyard".

Yun Qingyi looked around; the place was desolate, perhaps the most remote place in the entire Shang Mansion.

The courtyard in front of us can hardly be called a courtyard; there are only a few broken walls and ruins left, and even the most basic shape of the house is hard to discern.

"Ah……"

Hearing Ruan Qi laugh, Yun Qingyi stepped forward and looked at her with some concern, "Ruan Qi..."

"I'm fine, Martial Aunt." Ruan Qi smiled at Yun Qingyi.

How could she forget that Madam Shang despised her mother the most? How could she allow this courtyard to exist? It was already quite good that it hadn't been razed to the ground.

That's good. There's no more lingering thought. Without lingering thoughts, there are no worries. Once the business is dealt with, all past matters can be severed.

"Uncle-Master, let's go. We'll leave the rest to you all."

……
