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

Back in the bamboo garden, Ci Gui, as always, took out his tea set and brewed some Tibetan Snow White tea.

After pushing the teacup in front of Yun Qingyi, he took out a few tea snacks and placed them on the table before saying softly, "Let me see the jade pendant I gave you."

Yun Qingyi obediently took off the jade pendant and handed it to Ci Gui. Then she happily ate her tea and snacks. She noticed that the little rabbit had woken up at some point, so she gave one to Yao Yao in her arms.

Ci Gui carefully examined the jade pendant in his hand, sensing the lingering aura on it, lost in thought.

"I see."

"Hmm?" Yun Qingyi took a sip of tea and asked suspiciously, "Has Master discovered something?"

Ci Gui handed the jade pendant back to Yun Qingyi, her usually cool and indifferent face showing a slight frown between her brows, and her mood was somewhat depressed.

He slowly said to Yun Qingyi, "He has noticed you."

"Him?"

"Who is it again?" Yun Qingyi's heart skipped a beat, and she had an answer in her mind.

"The current Heavenly Way."

“I just sensed the aura on the jade pendant, and it has an aura similar to the power within my body. I guess the passageway you entered was a spatial tunnel.”

"He originally intended to throw you through that tunnel to a fatal place, so that you would die there."

"It's just a pity that you have the power left to you by the previous Heavenly Dao, which prevented Him from succeeding and allowed you to go to the relatively safe Demon Capital territory."

"But He also sealed the spatial entrance to the small world from the jade pendant. However, during the Great Liang Kingdom, the Heavenly Dao that created you sensed your danger and reopened this entrance with its remaining energy."

"That's why you couldn't enter before, but can now."

As Ci Gui spoke more and more, Yun Qingyi felt a chill in her heart; each and every one of them wanted her dead.

but……

A cold glint flashed in Yun Qingyi's eyes.

She will not die if they are disappointed; she will live a long and healthy life. She will repay them a hundredfold for the pain they have been inflicted upon her!

Then, as if remembering something, he quickly took out the jade pendant.

Oh, right, Arou!

Master just said that the space tunnel will send people to an extremely dangerous place. Isn't Arou in great danger now?

He immediately sent a message to Yun Qingrou: "Arou, how are you? Have you encountered any danger?"

Southern Spirit Continent, Cloud Marsh Great Forest.

Yun Qingrou stood sideways, longsword in hand, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth. She looked at the headless beast before her and sneered, "A Nascent Soul stage Berserker Beast?"

"Nothing."

Sensing a message coming from the jade pendant, Yun Qingrou took it out and discovered it belonged to Yun Qingyi.

She immediately replied, "Sister, I'm fine. I'm going back to the sect now."

Yun Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the reply, told Yun Qingrou to be careful on the road, and then put the jade pendant away.

Looking up, I found my master deep in thought. I waited for a while, but he still hadn't come back to his senses.

Yun Qingyi coughed lightly. Ci Gui heard the sound and looked up: "What's wrong? Is there anything else bothering you?"

Yun Qingyi had heard this sentence many times since she woke up, and she immediately began to doubt whether she was really that badly injured before she fell into a coma.

I feel like even Master is stressed.

"I'm fine, Master. What were you thinking about just now?" Yun Qingyi asked curiously, trying to cover up her embarrassment.

Ci Gui, still uneasy, took Yun Qingyi's hand, her slender fingers stroking her wrist to check it. Only after finding that there was nothing seriously wrong did she relax and slowly say, "I was thinking that your sister Yun Yu'er, who was collecting life energy in that village you mentioned, must be trying to revive something."

"Resurrection?" Yun Qingyi forgot to eat the tea and snacks in her hands, and her mind went blank when she heard these two words.

"Yes, that's right." Ci Gui nodded in affirmation.

"If it's not resurrection, then it must be the creation of a physical body for some powerful soul."

"With this method of collection, it's highly likely that the people of the Great Liang Kingdom will be their last stop."

Hearing the name of the Great Liang Kingdom, Yun Qingyi felt another pang of pain in her heart. She thought of the citizens on the street, their faces beaming with happiness, the loving couple in the restaurant, and the child for whom she had given a name.

The pancake stall owner with a sharp tongue but a kind heart, and...

Yun Qiheng.

She said she would go back to him, but now it seems she has broken her promise.

Seeing Yun Qingyi's dimmed eyes, Ci Gui couldn't help but ask with concern, "Are you thinking about those who have died?"

Yun Qingyi nodded, her voice filled with pain and self-reproach: "Master, I am so useless."

“You once said I was His destined goddess, but I failed to save anyone in the Great Liang Kingdom, and I almost died at Yun Yu’er’s hands.”

"I am not worthy to be this goddess."

Ci Gui gently patted Yun Qingyi's head and said with a faint smile, "Actually, I'm very gratified. Because you love them, that's why you feel pain in your heart. You have fulfilled the original intention He had in creating you. You should believe in Him, and you should believe in yourself even more."

“Master…” Yun Qingyi raised her eyes to look at Ci Gui, the confusion in her eyes gradually fading away.

“You’re right, Master.”

“I cannot just wallow in pain. I am His child, and I will not give up until the very last moment.”

"This is how you should be." Seeing Yun Qingyi's increasingly determined eyes, Ci Gui felt gratified and said softly, "Take care of your health for the next few days before leaving the small world. Although your body is not seriously injured, you are still too weak."

"Perfect timing. I still have time to teach you how to raise rabbits. The rabbit in your arms has rather demanding feeding conditions; it won't grow big if you don't raise it properly."
