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

Did you hear screams last night?

"What screams? You have to work tomorrow, how can you be in the mood to listen to this?"

"I heard it, I heard it, but all I heard was wailing. It was really loud!"

"What I heard was wailing. Really, who's crying like that in the middle of the night? Don't they have to work the next day?!"

The first person to speak then said mysteriously, "Those voices all came from the Shang family. Last night, the entire Shang family was wiped out!"

"What!!?"

……

In another private room of the restaurant, Yun Qingyi ate the spirit beast meat that had just been served, feeling somewhat guilty.

"I should have silenced them all before killing them. Now they're disturbing other people's rest."

Ji Zhaoze paused, his chopsticks still. "Hmm, senior brother, be careful next time. Make sure your voice is hoarse first."

Leng Zhan, Ruan Qi, and the others looked at Ji Zhaoze with admiration, "Uncle-Master, you were so handsome last night!"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's exactly like those legendary array masters who can turn their hands to create clouds and rain!"

"My God! It's unbelievable that such a massive killing formation could be created by hand! It's incredible!"

……

Yun Qingyi: "..." Looking at the group of people who had been praising her ever since the battle ended last night, she felt somewhat helpless.

Fortunately, Yuan Feng and the others left early this morning; otherwise, with them around, my ears would have been completely worn out.

She admitted that her senior brother was indeed very impressive last night, but there was no need for him to still have such a starry-eyed look on his face all night long.

Thinking about this, Yun Qingyi felt increasingly resentful.

She's usually very capable, so why haven't they ever admired her like this before? Yun Qingyi pouted.

With a mischievous grin, she mimicked Leng Zhan and the others, looking at Ji Zhaoze and saying, "Wow! Senior brother was so handsome last night! Junior sister admires you so much!"

Ji Zhaoze's hand, which was picking up food, suddenly froze, and then he casually put away his chopsticks.

She turned her head to look at Yun Qingyi, her eyes clear and calm, "Yes, I will set a good example."

Yun Qingyi: "..."

So serious, no wonder he's a disciple taught by his master.

Yun Qingyi originally wanted to embarrass Ji Zhaoze, but it seems the effect wasn't very good.

Shaking her head indifferently, Yun Qingyi picked up a large piece of spirit beast meat and put it into her bowl. After smelling the enticing aroma, she took a big, satisfying bite. Eating meat was definitely more practical.

"By the way, Senior Brother," Yun Qingyi said to Ji Zhaoze while eating spirit beast meat.

"Hmm?" Ji Zhaoze responded, picking up a piece and savoring it.

"How did you end up at the Shang residence?" Yun Qingyi asked.

She couldn't quite understand why Ji Zhaoze had appeared out of nowhere yesterday, and had even managed to catch Shang Yu, who was trying to escape by climbing over the wall.

Something just doesn't look right.

Upon hearing this, Ji Zhaoze replied simply, "I went with you."

"what?"

Ji Zhaoze: "Yesterday, I happened to see my junior sister dressed in the sect's attire, looking high-profile and flamboyant, so I followed her."

"Uh...oh." Yun Qingyi was a little embarrassed.

The original intention was to stand up for Ruan Qi, but plans changed, and in the end, without much talk, they started fighting directly.

After all, shouldn't the normal plot be that the father sees his daughter doing well in the major sect, wants to curry favor with her, and ends up getting slapped in the face?

However, after thinking about it carefully, Yun Qingyi realized that such a thing was unlikely to happen to Ruan Qi.

Putting aside the fact that Shang Yan is the last disciple of the Zixiao Sect Master, objectively speaking, in their eyes, Shang Yan's status in the sect is higher than Ruan Qi's, so there's no need for them to curry favor with her just because Ruan Qi entered a major sect.

To be honest, Ruan Qi wouldn't really like having any contact with businesses. Rather than dealing with this messy stuff, she'd rather cut the Gordian knot and get straight to the revenge phase.

In addition, the merchant and his wife do have a knack for causing trouble, so things have progressed to the way they are now.

Yun Qingyi continued eating the spirit beast meat while thinking about it.

"So, what are your plans next, Senior Brother?"

"I have no plans. I'll just go back to the sect with you all," Ji Zhaoze said calmly.

"Huh?" Yun Qingyi asked in confusion, "Senior Brother, aren't you going to continue your travels?"

"Yes, it's just finished."

……

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they were lying listlessly on their chairs. Yun Qingyi thought that since she had come all the way to Laizhou, she might as well go and have a look around.

Without further ado, the group packed their things and headed towards the nearest market.

Along the way, Yun Qingyi would also hear the cultivators in Laizhou discussing the merchants.

Because they had been too high-profile when they arrived yesterday, they changed their clothes and disguised themselves after the battle last night.

Unless one's cultivation level is significantly higher than theirs, most cultivators wouldn't be able to tell that this isn't their original appearance.

At the market, Yun Qingyi was overwhelmed by the dazzling array of goods. Laizhou truly lived up to its reputation as the most prosperous region in the Arctic Area; even a small market was bustling with activity.

There's not much discussion about merchants here, since most people in Laizhou are independent cultivators, and they're not interested in the rise and fall of various families.

They were only interested in where to get free talismans, where the secret realms had opened, and which store sold the cheapest and most effective magical artifacts.

Moreover, the reputation of merchants in Laizhou is not good, and many independent cultivators had received help from the Ruan family back then.

Therefore, while many people are curious about the massacre of the business family, they also feel a sense of gratification.

Yun Qingyi strolled around, buying many local specialties that interested her along the way.

Because Laizhou is close to the West Sea, there are many marine specialties here, so most of the products Yun Qingyi has are from the West Sea.

Yun Qingyi curiously squeezed the colorful bubble in her hand. The seller said that if she squeezed it in the sea, a school of fish blowing colorful bubbles would lead her to a safe coral spot to rest.

How do humans rest in the sea? Yun Qingyi chuckled after hearing this.

However, because it was quite novel, Yun Qingyi still bought it.

Besides these, there are glass gems that can keep glassfish company, crystal agates that can be traded for treasures with timid octopuses, and even pearls that can help red-tailed fish find food.

Yun Qingyi waved her hand and bought them all. She also went to the trading shop to sell all the jewelry she had picked up from the merchants.

Yun Qingyi smiled broadly as she weighed the storage bag, which still contained a considerable amount of spirit stones after purchasing local specialties.

Planning her return to Lancheng, she decided to visit the Golden Radiance Auction House. Almost half of the merchants' goods had ended up in her pocket, including some rare treasures that were of little use to her. She could take them to auction off and exchange them for spirit stones.

Yun Qingyi was actually quite puzzled about the final division of the merchant's property. Everyone seemed to be giving way to her, and she only took a few items as a token gesture.

Even Ruan Qi only took the treasures left behind by Ruan Jin back then. At that time, Yun Qingyi was a little confused as she held the storage ring containing almost all of the merchants' property.

In the end, they only accepted the items by being forced to share them equally, but they only accepted some magical artifacts and treasures. As for the spirit stones and shops, they all went to Yun Qingyi.

It could be said that Yun Qingyi now holds half of a large family's assets, which almost made her overjoyed. She wouldn't have to worry about Ao Jin's meals for a long time.

As for those shops, Yun Qingyi temporarily handed them over to the Gu family, where Gu Qiqing resides. Gu Qiqing is the young master of the Gu family and is located in the same Arctic region as the merchants. Indeed, only locals can better manage these things.

During this time, she went to the Yun family's territory in Laizhou and had the Yun family members there gradually take over the business affairs with the Gu family.

The Yun family members are quite talented in business, and she believes that with the Gu family's help, they will soon be able to completely control all of the merchant's operations.

Thinking of this, Yun Qingyi felt a sense of pride.

She had so casually brought such a large sum of unexpected wealth to the family, and to this day, she still remembers the shocked expression on the Yun family's face at the time.

Yun Qingyi couldn't help but sigh. No wonder Yun Yu'er liked burning, killing, and looting. It was indeed a great feeling. As long as she wiped out the entire family, all the wealth accumulated by the family over hundreds of years would belong to her.

This is much better than going through all the trouble of exploring secret realms to sell items.

Moreover, venturing into secret realms is a risky business; one wrong move and you're dead.

Yun Qingyi thought for a moment and then put her thoughts aside.

Although it felt great, no matter what, she would never be Yun Yu'er.

This world was created by Him, and She loves this world.

She did not want the creatures of this world to suffer one undeserved calamity after another because of such selfish desires that had no cause or effect.

Every living being in this world has the right to live a good life.
