The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

Thinking of the Feng family, certain things surfaced in Bai Yi's mind, and hatred welled up in his eyes.

"The Feng family? I, An Mi... will be your sworn enemy!" An Mi spoke, her tone unusually calm, but beneath that calm lay an exceptionally strong ruthlessness and determination!

Do they dare kill her people? And in such a cruel way? No matter how powerful the Feng family is, An Mi is determined to avenge this!

Just then, the young man seemed to realize something and suddenly spoke up, "Miss, that fire... wasn't started by those people..."

An Mi paused slightly, her eyes remaining icy. "Then do you know who put it there?"

They didn't put it there? Does that mean someone else is plotting against Widow's Village?

The boy pondered for a moment, then said firmly, "I understand, I heard what he said. He called himself... it seemed... it seemed like he was calling Liu Zhan..."

Liu Zhan? An Mi's body stiffened, as if to confirm what she had just heard, and she glared fiercely at the young man, "Are you sure he called himself Liu Zhan?"

The boy was startled by An Mi's reaction. That one glance contained too much for him to understand. Suddenly coming back to his senses, the boy subconsciously swallowed. "I'm...I'm sure, Miss, I can't forget either...He lit a fire and was shouting in front of it. I clearly heard him call himself Liu Zhan, and say that you...you can't beat him!"

As soon as the boy finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on An Mi. At this moment, the anger and hatred that An Mi was exuding could be felt by almost everyone in the darkness.

"Liu Zhan... Liu Zhan!" An Mi repeated these two words almost through gritted teeth. She could understand why Liu Zhan would set fire to the village as soon as she thought about it. With Madam Liu's ruthlessness and Liu Zhan's heartlessness, what they wanted was probably more than just burning down the widow's village!

Want to crush her? But she is serene and not so easily defeated!

Scenes from her past life flashed through her mind, and the warmth the women of the widow's village showed her became clear before her eyes. Her gaze swept over the corpses on the ground; just moments before, they had been so vibrant, but now they were gone... Anmi closed her eyes, looking at the sky, trying not to let the tear that had been welling up in her eyes fall. But in her heart, she was making a vow to herself: whether it was the person who killed them or Liu Zhan who burned down the widow's village, she, Anmi, was determined to get justice for them!

Taking a deep breath, An Mi opened her eyes again, her gaze filled with tranquility. She instructed Cheng Ying, "Give them a proper burial, behind this village. In the future..."

As An Mi spoke, a sharp glint flashed in her cold eyes. She paused, then continued, "One day, I, An Mi, will use the blood of those people to pay tribute to the sisters in the village!"

Anmi's words undoubtedly stirred up Cheng Ying's indignation. "Yes, those people must pay the price!"

The Feng family? That powerful clan of the Great Jin Dynasty! Even with such influence, she believed that the young lady's words today were not just empty talk; she intended to use the blood of those people to commemorate the sisters who died in the village!

“Miss…” The young man suddenly stood up, walked to An Mi’s side, his hands clenched tightly. His once pure and gentle face now appeared somewhat ferocious amidst the blood. He looked at An Mi with determination, “Miss, I will take revenge with my own hands!”

The scene he had just witnessed flashed through his mind. He watched his mother and his aunt, who had always been kind to him, fall under that woman's knife, but he could only endure it, filled with fear and self-blame. He even wished that he had rushed in himself, even if he had died under that woman's knife as well!

Anmi looked at the boy before her. She recognized him; he was Yu Niang's son, only fourteen years old. As perceptive as Anmi was, how could she not see his remorse? But what they needed wasn't remorse…

“Alright, but before that, you must make sure you have enough power to avenge them!” Anmi knew that this young man had witnessed his mother and the place where he lived being destroyed, and that hatred was indelible, just like the pain she felt when she watched Madam Liu kill her newborn daughter on her deathbed in her previous life.

She frowned slightly, stepped forward, and said in a deep voice, "Remember, you must be spared. Remember everything you just saw. Even if you forget your own name, you must not forget those two faces, those two faces of your enemies. Do you understand?"

Anmi practically roared out the last few words, her gaze fixed intently on the boy, the hatred in her eyes burning even more fiercely.

The boy was stunned. He had never seen a girl like this before. Coming to his senses, he nodded hurriedly, his eyes filled with determination. "I won't forget. I remember all those people. I will never forget them!"

Anmi nodded in satisfaction, but only for a moment before returning to her previous calm, as if her hysteria was merely someone else's illusion.

Bai Yi looked at An Mi and felt hatred, the same hatred again. This woman, who was born so innocent, why did he always feel that she had seen all the ways of the world and experienced the coldness of human nature?

Does he hate her? Stroking the jade pendant in his hand, Bai Yi's gloom deepened. He looked up and met An Mi's eyes. Bai Yi was slightly taken aback. In the next instant, An Mi was already beside him and took the jade pendant from his hand.

"The owner of this thing... I, Anmi, will definitely find you! When the time comes..." Anmi murmured. The Feng family? Even if the Feng family turns the Feng family upside down, she will find that person, and... that woman!

Her gaze lowered slightly as she glanced at the young man, pondered for a moment, and then spoke softly, "Are you afraid of hardship?"

The boy shook his head. "I'm not afraid!"

“Very well, if I send you to a dangerous place, will you be afraid?” Anmi’s voice turned colder, and everyone looked at Anmi, seemingly trying to figure out what decision she was going to make.

"I'm not afraid!" the boy shouted. He had watched those people die because he was afraid, and dared not step forward. Now he was filled with self-blame and guilt. From now on, he would never let himself be afraid, no matter what!

“Alright, I’ll have someone send you away as soon as it’s light today.” An Mi lowered her brows, her eyes shining with unwavering determination.

"Miss...where are you taking him?" Cheng Ying asked, voicing the question on everyone's mind.

“Purgatory!” An Mi calmly uttered these two words, which startled everyone. Even Bai Yi’s gaze towards An Mi changed.

Purgatory? People have only heard of the existence of Purgatory, but they do not know what it is like. It is said that Purgatory is located in the west of the Great Jin Dynasty, in the territory of the King of Qin.
