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

Xi Bao was startled when she saw the table shattered into powder. She quickly flapped her little wings and diligently picked up the phoenix harp that had fallen to the ground.

Ci Gui realized what was happening, took the phoenix zither from Xi Bao, and had a faint apology on his face.

"Feel sorry."

Xi Bao quickly shook her head: "The master is also concerned about the master, but fortunately the master has returned."

Ci Gui nodded gently, looking at the phoenix zither in her arms, and murmured, "Fortunately... she was able to come back in time."

After saying that, he walked towards the room where Yun Qingyi was.

"Let's go, it's time to go back and see her."

As soon as I returned to my room, I saw Yun Qingyi slowly waking up.

Ci Gui quickened her pace to the bedside, her face showing no emotion: "Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Yun Qingyi looked at Ci Gui with some confusion: "Master?"

"Master, Master, it's so good that you're alright!" Xi Bao fluttered her little wings and flew into the house, excitedly circling around Yun Qingyi.

"Xi Bao?"

"Hmm..." Yun Qingyi felt a sudden pain in her head and rubbed it with her hand.

"What's wrong?" Ci Gui asked Yun Qingyi, his calm expression revealing a hint of tension.

"It's nothing, Master, I probably just slept for too long," Yun Qingyi muttered softly.

He then looked at Ci Gui with a puzzled expression: "Master, how come I can suddenly enter the small world?"

"Huh? What do you mean, 'suddenly'?" Ci Gui grasped the key word, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Well..." Yun Qingyi organized her thoughts and told Ci Gui about her experiences over the past few months, including being swept into a mysterious tunnel in Black Wind Ridge, and everything that happened in the Demon Capital and the Great Liang Kingdom.

Speaking of Yao Yao, Yun Qingyi's eyes flashed with unspeakable pain. She grabbed Ci Gui's drooping robes with both hands and pleaded, "Master, can you please save Yao Yao?"

Upon hearing this, Ci Gui remained silent for a while before asking, "Are you feeling any better?"

"what?"

"Can you walk now?"

Although Yun Qingyi was puzzled, she nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Master."

Ci Gui nodded, stood up, and walked outside.

Upon reaching the door and seeing that Yun Qingyi hadn't gotten up yet, he said helplessly, "Let's go. Didn't we already have our eyes on the Nuwa Stone?"

Yun Qingyi was overjoyed. She quickly got up, grabbed Xi Bao and the Phoenix Zither, put them into her storage ring, and followed Ci Gui out.

She did think of the Nuwa Stone from the very beginning, which is why she put Yao Yao into the storage bracelet immediately to prevent her primordial spirit from dissipating.

Upon entering the crystal passageway, Ci Gui removed the shimmering Nuwa Stone floating in the air and turned to Yun Qingyi, saying, "Take that child out."

Yun Qingyi obediently took Yao Yao out of the storage ring. When she put her back in, Yun Qingyi didn't have time to clean the bloodstains on Yao Yao's body, so she was still covered in blood when she took her out.

Yun Qingyi tenderly cleaned Yao Yao's wounds one by one. The scars that were previously invisible were now clearly visible to Yun Qingyi.

It's even more terrifying than before it was cleaned.

Yun Qingyi pursed her lips and said to Ci Gui, "Master..."

Upon seeing Yao Yao, a hint of surprise flashed in Ci Gui's eyes.

It turns out to be the fate of the demon race.

"This girl is not simple."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi remembered that Yao Yao was a destined demon and nodded in agreement: "I forgot to tell Master that Yao Yao's clan once prophesied that they would produce a destined demon, and that demon is Yao Yao."

Ci Gui seemed to be deep in thought, his brows furrowing slightly: "In that case, it's a bit troublesome."

Upon hearing Ci Gui's words, Yun Qingyi became anxious: "What's wrong, Master?"

“Using the Nuwa Stone requires consuming the power of destiny. I still have the power that the Heavenly Dao gave me, which is why I agreed to save this child.”

"But if she is already destined for greatness, the power within me is not enough to awaken her."

Seeing Yun Qingyi's increasingly dejected expression, Ci Gui chuckled helplessly, "Don't worry, there's still a way."

Yun Qingyi's eyes immediately lit up: "What method, Master?"

"Find something that is connected to it by blood."

"Bloodline connection?" Yun Qingyi murmured softly, her heart stirred, and she took out the spiritual medicine given to her by Yao Yao's parents.

"Master, look, is this it?"

Ci Gui carefully examined the elixir in Yun Qingyi's hand and nodded: "Hmm, not bad."

"If I'm not mistaken, this herb was originally meant for this child to fuse with."

"And it will take forty-nine days to integrate."

"Forty-nine days?" Yun Qingyi was a little surprised. She had guessed that the elixir needed to be absorbed slowly, but she didn't expect it to take so long. Then she asked with some concern, "Master, won't this affect the resurrection of Yao Yao?"

Ci Gui looked at Yao Yao's body, steadied the primordial spirit that had not yet dissipated, and said softly, "There is still some impact, after all, it is not absorbed by the person herself, but with the help of the Nuwa Stone, the impact will not be too great."

After saying that, Ci Gui took the elixir from Yun Qingyi and together with Yun Qingyi placed Yao Yao on the nearby jade platform.

Ci Gui's slender fingers moved rapidly through the air, and the elixir and Nuwa Stone floated in the air, emitting a dazzling light in an instant.

Yun Qingyi subconsciously squinted her eyes, and when she opened them again, she saw the Nuwa Stone spinning rapidly in the air like a dazzling star, surrounded by layers of brilliant halos.

The spiritual herb gradually entered Yao Yao's body. Under the light of the Nuwa Stone, her primordial spirit gradually solidified and showed no signs of dissipating.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Yao's body gradually disappeared, and the light on the jade platform grew stronger and stronger.

Yun Qingyi looked at Yao Yao, who was surrounded by light, completely unaware of what was happening inside the intense light.

After a long while, strange runes emerged from within the bright light. Ci Gui remained calm, his well-defined fingers gently tracing the runes, his long, beautiful black hair swaying in the wind due to his aura.

Yun Qingyi turned her head to look, and Ci Gui's eyes were focused on the runes emerging from the Nuwa Stone. After each rune had poured out its energy, it disappeared.

With each infusion of energy into the runes, Ci Gui's fair and beautiful face paled a little more. Soon, all the runes were filled, and Ci Gui withdrew her hand, turning to look at Yun Qingyi: "What are you looking at me for?"

"Master, are you feeling unwell right now?" Yun Qingyi asked worriedly as she looked at Ci Gui's already pale face, which had become even paler.

"I'm fine," Ci Gui said calmly.

After saying that, he looked at Yutai and said, "Compared to me, you should learn more about how to raise rabbits in the future."

Yun Qingyi followed Ci Gui's gaze and saw that the light on the jade platform had disappeared, leaving only a small rabbit with snow-white fur, a big, round, and fluffy tail squatting on the jade platform.

The little rabbit opened its pink eyes and looked curiously at the two humans in front of it.

"It's so cute!" Looking at the fluffy little rabbit, Yun Qingyi felt her heart melt and quickly picked it up and hugged it to her chest.

The little rabbit wasn't scared at all. Instead, it rubbed affectionately against Yun Qingyi's clothes, then found a comfortable spot in Yun Qingyi's arms, curled up into a fluffy ball, closed its eyes, and gradually fell asleep.

Gently stroking the little rabbit, Yun Qingyi asked with some confusion, "Master, why did Yao Yao turn back into a little rabbit?"

Ci Gui put away the Nuwa Stone and placed it back in its previous position. Upon hearing this, she smiled faintly and said, "This is what I just told you about—the effect of not slowly absorbing the spiritual medicine."

"With the help of the Nuwa Stone, the elixir quickly fused with the child. The downside of this was that the energy accumulated and had nowhere to be released. If it was not controlled, the child's primordial spirit would soon be impacted and dissipated."

"But the Nuwa Stone's duty is to bring the dead back to life. In order for Yao Yao to live, it rebuilt the child's body and sealed the energy. As she grows up, the seal will gradually be broken."

"I see," Yun Qingyi said with a sudden realization, happily hugging the rabbit in her arms and rubbing against it again and again.

That's great, Yao Yao. I kept my promise to you. When you grow up, we'll go see the peach blossoms together.

No, I'll take you to see it when I get back to my sect.

Speaking of returning to the sect, Yun Qingyi suddenly remembered that she had entered the small world suddenly.

Perhaps Ci Gui was also thinking about this, because he took Yun Qingyi's hand and said gently, "Let's go back first. I need to confirm some things."
