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

Chapter 102: Are you sick?

"Weren't you dead!?"

The noblewoman's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief; this woman looked exactly like the woman from back then.

Of course, she wouldn't be foolish enough to think it was that woman from back then who had come back to life, after all, she had died right in front of her, but her daughter...

The noblewoman's eyes narrowed. She must have failed to kill them back then. Those who were chasing her must have given her false information out of fear that she would take her anger out on them.

Upon realizing this, the noblewoman was enraged, and her demeanor changed drastically.

No one has ever dared to mess with her like this before!

She looked at Ruan Qi, and quickly channeled a huge amount of spiritual power into her palm, heading straight for him.

"How dare you!" Yun Qingyi shouted coldly.

With a wave of his hand, he dissipated the noblewoman's spiritual power in an extremely domineering manner, causing her to fall heavily to the ground.

A dull pain throbbed in his lower abdomen, and a sudden metallic taste filled his throat. He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The two people standing in the hall were stunned. Shang Yu was the first to react.

Tears streamed down the girl's face as she cried out, "Waaah, Mother! Mother, how are you?"

Upon hearing Shang Yu's cries, the Shang family head finally realized what was happening and quickly knelt down to help the elegant woman up from the ground.

"Gao Ru, how are you feeling now?"

As the merchant asked, he unconsciously placed his hand on the woman's wrist. Suddenly, his expression hardened, and he took out a bottle of pills in an exquisite jade bottle from his storage ring. He carefully poured out one pill, and looking at the crystal-clear, jade-like pill in his hand, the merchant felt his heart was bleeding.

But seeing the pale-faced Madam Shang in his arms, the head of the Shang family made a tough decision and fed the pill into Madam Shang's mouth.

Seeing that Madam Shang's complexion had visibly improved, Yun Qingyi raised an eyebrow. She remembered that the blow she had just delivered was quite heavy, and it had almost shattered the woman's golden core.

The merchant's pills are quite something.

"Oh, a top-grade seventh-rank recovery pill." Ji Zhaoling said with great interest, "This medicine is very difficult to refine. I still haven't learned how. If I could have one to study, perhaps I would have learned it long ago..." At the end, Ji Zhaoling's tone was three parts regret and seven parts expectation.

The shop owner immediately understood the implication. He stood up, his face filled with barely suppressed rage. "You! You injured my wife like this and you still have the nerve to covet my elixirs?!"

"Waaah, sir, you have to do justice for me! I'm already a Golden Core cultivator... I'm already a Golden Core cultivator..." Madam Shang rubbed her lower abdomen, her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Yun Qingyi sitting at the head of the table.

Although she had just consumed the top-grade restoration pill, it only repaired the broken meridians; the cracks in her golden core could not be repaired. This meant that she would have to focus her energy on repairing the cracks in her golden core for a long time to come.

What's even worse is that cultivating this kind of crack requires an enormous amount of rare and precious materials.

She glanced at the shop owner standing beside her; this stingy man wouldn't be willing to give her these things.

Thinking of this, her gaze toward Yun Qingyi became even more venomous.

It's all because of her. Gao Ru doesn't care about the Xuanmiao Sect people. Today, none of them will leave alive!

Madam Gao cried even harder, "Waaah, sir, you must help me! They're from a major sect, how can they bully people like this? We're one of the four great families of the Northern Spirit Continent!"

Upon hearing this, the shop owner, who had initially been hesitant, immediately turned grim.

Upon seeing this, Madam Shang secretly raised the corners of her mouth and gave Yun Qingyi a provocative look.

She knew business owners like the best; they couldn't tolerate any challenge or disrespect to their power. Back then, Ruan Jin had brought about her own downfall step by step in this way.

Thinking of Ruan Jin, a hint of disdain flashed in Madam Shang's eyes. She was just a self-righteous, pretentious fool. Instead of being a proper Madam Shang, she dared to interfere in the affairs of the Shang family's power center.

Who does she think she is? So what if she's capable? She married into this family and doesn't want to rely on her husband; she wants to be on equal footing with him.

What a wishful thinking.

"My lords, I, Shang, respect that you come from the Xuanmiao Sect, yet you come up here to attack me and injure my wife. What is the meaning of this?!" the Shang family head said coldly.

Although he had already decided to kill them, he managed to restrain himself. After all, the people on the other side were from the Xuanmiao Sect, and he couldn't afford to offend them.

Upon hearing this, Leng Zhan curled his lip and said, "Are you kidding me? It was your wife who started it, okay? My junior sister didn't even say anything, but you're already wailing."

Upon hearing this, the shop owner couldn't help but turn his gaze to Ruan Qi again. He had previously thought that this woman looked somewhat like someone, but his memory was hazy and he couldn't quite place her.

But combining what his wife had said earlier, the figure of the woman before him gradually overlapped with the one in his memory. Although the answer was almost obvious in his heart, he still couldn't help but call out, "Ruan Jin?"

Ruan Qi “…”

She looked at the man in front of her, her voice icy, "I am not Ruan Jin."

Looking at the face that resembled that person, the shop owner smiled bitterly, his anger subsiding considerably. His gaze towards Ruan Qi carried a hint of nostalgia.

Her tone softened. "I know you're not Ruan Jin, you're Xiao Qi, right? You've grown up so much."

At this moment, the shop owner seemed to have forgotten that he had allowed Gao Ru to send people to hunt down Ruan Qi back then, and was completely immersed in the ecstasy of his lost possession being recovered.

"Little Qi, you look so much like your mother... I've already lost your mother. Did you come back because you miss home? Why don't you stay and keep your father company?"

Ruan Qi's eyes showed disgust, and a wave of nausea rose in her heart. "Crazy."

"What's wrong with you?"

"Don't you know how my mother died?" Ruan Qi looked at Madam Shang sitting on the ground with icy eyes. "She was personally killed by your second wife!"

"I know, I know, don't get agitated." The shop owner smiled and reassured her, "You care so much about this, so you must care about your father. If you don't like her, your father will divorce her right now and send her back to the Gao family."

Yun Qingyi and the others sitting in the hall were also dumbfounded. What kind of thought process was this?

The murderous intent in Ruan Qi's eyes almost engulfed the entire reception room. How could he say such a thing?

Upon hearing this, Madam Shang's mind went blank.

What did this man just say? He wanted to send her back to the Gao family? She looked at Ruan Qi, whose murderous intent was palpable in the hall, her face filled with anger.

Just for this bitch who just got back?

Why? !

Back then, he said he would love and protect her. Although she wasn't considered a high-ranking member of the Gao family, she was still a respectable young lady from a prominent family. How could he say such things?!

Standing next to Madam Shang, Shang Yu was already dumbfounded. She looked at Ruan Qi, then at her father, and finally at her mother, and burst into tears.

"Waaaaah, Daddy doesn't want Mommy anymore! Daddy doesn't want Mommy anymore because of that fox spirit!"

Yun Qingyi and the others' faces darkened. What kind of nonsense was this? They couldn't stand it anymore.

"Make your move," Yun Qingyi said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the others felt as if they had found salvation, and the restless spiritual energy within them finally found an outlet.

Instantly, chaotic and disorderly spiritual energy hurled itself at the merchant's owner.

At this moment, everyone had only one thought in their minds.

Let him disgust people, blow him up!
