This person who was standing at Qin niangzi’s bedside in the middle of the night naturally could only be Jian Yi.
For Jian Yi to find his way here and point the spearhead of his attack on Qin niangzi, it was much easier than Wen Xuan’s painstaking investigation everywhere while running into roadblocks all over the place. This story started right after he finished debriefing Zhao Feiyu over the matters at Cerulean Feathers.
At that time, he had Zhao Feiyu invite those demons to gather in a mountain west of Cerulean Feathers. Then, he also made Zhao Feiyu conceal him with demonic energy so he could successfully assimilate into those demons with the identity of a new comrade.
Of course, he couldn’t promise that none of the demons felt suspicion towards his identity, but this really didn’t matter anyways. Demons were often selfish. As long as they could protect their own hide, they didn’t bother meddling in other people’s business. Meanwhile, as soon as the two people encountered those demons, Zhao Feiyu managed to figure out the demon who once placed a curse on Jian Yi’s body.
That demon was also rather hilarious. Clearly, it casted a curse on Jian Yi before, yet when it met Jian Yi in person, it didn’t recognize him at all. It wasn’t until later after Jian Yi deliberately tricked the demon to spill practically everything until there was nothing else to expose, that he found out this demon actually utilized the same cultivation method as deities. It increased its cultivation and released the curse completely through that wooden sculpture. As for who the curse killed, it didn’t even meet them at all so how could it recognize said person?
This demon used a rather flaunting tone to describe how it collaborated up with Qin niangzi.
“Why team up with a mortal?” Jian Yi naturally asked this question.
“Although little niangzi is only a mortal, her head’s not bad. The schemes she came up with were very useful,” Saying this, the demon also licked its lips and continued with a laugh: “Not to mention, her taste really wasn’t bad.”
This collaboration specifically involved Qin niangzi helping the demon evangelize and think of plans to convert more people into believers in order to increase its cultivation. In exchange, it helped Qin niangzi get rid of people irksome to her eyes. It’d cast a curse on whoever Qin niangzi wanted to kill. If she said it was enough, then it’d recall the curse. As long as there’s that wooden sculpture next to the target, it can cast and withdraw its curse freely, without an issue.
Learning this was enough. To Jian yi, making a move on this demon was a bit troublesome at this time. In the end, this demon was only a knife. That so-called aunt was the person using the knife. Therefore, after the group of demons dispersed, Jian Yi made a beeline for Jiufeng city in order to get his revenge.
However, before he went to cause trouble for Qin niangzi, he went to the grave outside of the city first. He found the tombstone of the original’s father and sincerely offered his prayers.
This was something he was duty bound. However, he was completely unaware of the person he nearly crossed paths with.
What followed after that was Jian Yi standing here, smiling as he watched Qin niangzi panic in fear.
“Long time no see, aunty.”
Qin niangzi screamed uncontrollably, backing up unceasingly, finally waking up her husband who was sleeping in the same bed with her.
“What’s with all the ruckus?” Landlord Li grumbled and opened his eyes in annoyance. Unexpectedly, he saw Jian Yi standing at the bedside and instantly also turned white as paper.
At this time, with a loud sound, another lightning landed, making the smile on Jian Yi’s face look even more horrifying.
“Gho…ghost…” Landlord Li seemed even more distressed than Qin niangzi. He was so terrified that he pressed his back flat against the wall, retreating until there was no way to retreat further. Then, he actually abruptly jumped up and made one last effort, trying to climb out the window.
Yet he didn’t even have time to stick his head outside when suddenly, he felt his right ankle tighten, like it was snatched by something. Then, something pulled him hard from behind and he was tugged directly off the windowsill, off the bed, and dragged backwards across the floor. He looked behind himself in terror and saw Jian Yi holding a rope with a smile on his face, pulling Landlord Li all the way next to his foot. This person struggled relentlessly in fear. Yet no matter what, he couldn’t get free.
The rope was only a regular piece of rope. Jian Yi only used spiritual energy to reinforce it.
When Landlord Li was pulled to the side of Jian Yi’s foot, this person already lost half of his soul in fear. What’s left was also on the verge of collapse. He practically looked like he was about to faint. However, Jian Yi didn’t even give him the chance to faint.
A flying sword spun over and, softly and efficiently, cut off a piece of meat off of Landlord Li’s shoulder. The intense pain made Landlord Li suddenly sober up. He cried and yelled nonstop, as if he was going to scream himself hoarse.
With a deathly pale face, Qin niangzi saw this scene, not even daring to escape.

“Aunty,” Jian Yi said smiling: “Did you call me Xiao Yi like this before as well?”
Qin niangzi was rendered speechless by this question, not knowing what the other meant by this.
“What an affectionate nickname.” Jian Yi continued to say: “Who would have thought, you can say these words so affectionately while hatching such evil schemes. And who would have thought, a beautiful woman like yourself could have such a venomous snake’s heart.”
Qin niangzi’s face paled: “I don’t know what you’re saying.”
“Is that right?” Jian Yi asked back with a smile.
The flying sword spun around again and cut off another piece of meat next to Landlord Li’s injury.
“How about now?” Jian Yi asked as he looked at Qin niangzi: “Do you know what I’m saying now?”
Listening to her husband’s wretched screams, Qin niangz felt sweat dripping off her forehead. She finally discovered that something wasn’t right. She should have discovered that something wasn’t right a while ago. This scene felt wrong all over. Actually, she never called Jian Yi so affectionately like that before. After all, after her failed attempt to choke Jian Yi to death, she and the Jian family pretty much split apart. She didn’t have any need to pretend she liked this nephew of hers. But what did this mean? That everything happening before her eyes was wrong.
“You…you……” Qin niangzi couldn’t help but take deep breaths, chest rising as she spoke: “Although you were an idiot before… you were a kindhearted child…”
“Is that right?” Jian Yi returned with a question again with the same smile: “So I was a kindhearted child before? So you actually knew I was kind.”
As he said this, the flying sword cut off a third piece of flesh at Landlord Li’s injury. Meanwhile, landlord Li’s screams already reached a climax, it couldn’t sound any more miserable.
Maybe he wanted to cut Landlord Li to death piece by piece in front of Qin niangzi’s eyes. This thought made the husband and wife pair incomparably horrified, feeling chills coming in waves.
“Aunty, so?” Jian Yi asked: “Do you know what I meant just now?”
Sweat poured off of Qin niangzi’s forehead: “Yes…… I know…… you, you let him go. I’m begging you to let him go……”
The response she received, however, was the flying sword moving again. As Landlord Li screamed uncontrollably, Jian Yi said: “Aunty, do you think you can actually request anything from me right now?”
Qin niangzi didn’t dare to speak. She can only feel the sweat drip unceasingly off her forehead.
There was another lightning outside the window. Then, it actually started pouring rain.
Jian Yi finally threw away the rope in his hand and allowed Landlord Li, who was in such pain he couldn’t stand upright, to roll around nonstop on the floor.
“Now I have a question,” Then he said: “Which of you can answer me. My father…… was murdered by whom?”
Qin niangzi opened her mouth. Lips trembling, she didn’t make a sound for a while. However, in this moment, Landlord Li recovered his strength. Grabbing his blood-soaked arm, he answered while shaking uncontrollably: “It was…… it was me……”
Jian Yi gave him an unexpected look.
“It was me…… I caused your father’s death……” Landlord Li continued to say: “I coveted your family’s Yunling Shop. That’s why I killed him. Niangzi, my niangzi didn’t know anything. She’s innocent. Don’t touch her……”
Jian Yi had a strange expression as he withdrew his gaze and turned it on to Qin niangzi: “Aunty, what do you say?”
Qin niangzi closed her eyes, shoulders trembling unceasingly.
Actually when she first married this Landlord Li, she was unwilling. Because at that time, she was still young and beautiful while Landlord Li was older than her by one generation. However, the family required her to get married, required her to marry this Landlord Li so that they could use the betrothal gift for her younger brother to find a wife. That was when she started to hate, no, maybe even before that she already started to hate her little brother intensely.
But ever since she married over, Landlord Li really treated her very well, listening and obeying her every word, not allowing her to receive any grievances. If this wasn’t the case, she wouldn’t have wanted to give her husband a child so badly.
However, at the moment, under Jian Yi’s questioning, she said instead: “That’s right. I…… I only knew today……”
She didn’t finish speaking when the flying sword in Jian Yi’s hand made a big arc. Landlord Li’s scream stopped as it began. His head decapitated, flew up with the light of the sword and fell directly onto the bed, rolling next to Qin niangzi’s feet.
Qin niangzi touched this head with a hand and let out a surprised shout. In a flash, tears gushed out of her eyes.
“Your husband died.” Jian Yi pointed the tip of his word at that headless body: “Because he didn’t tell the truth.”
Qin niangzi’s crying abruptly stopped as she lifted her head to look at him incredulously
“Did you really think I killed him because I believed him?” Jian Yi laughed mockingly at her: “I only wanted to let you also experience the taste of your most important person dying before your eyes.”
Qin niangzi’s face was already bloodless, now it actually paled even more.
“But his death wasn’t unjustified.” Jian Yi continued to say: “After all, his lies were half truth. My father was killed by the two of you together. The two of you. None of you will escape.”
Qin niangzi’s teeth clattered: “You know……”
“Of course I know.” Jian Yi looked at her: “Now let me ask you, Who– killed me?”
“You, you……” Qin niangzi suddenly screamed, like a lunatic. She pointed at him with her finger: “You’re not Jian Yi! Surely, you’re not Jian Yi! You definitely can’t be Jian Yi! You… Just who are you!”
“Of course I’m not Jian Yi.” Jian Yi smiled carelessly: “I’m the vengeful ghost he summoned from hell, here to get his revenge.”
He just finished speaking when his sword flashed again. The finger that Qin niangzi was using to point at him was instantly sliced in half.
Qin niangzi let out a miserable shriek as she covered her broken finger, tears falling down her face.
Cry. This woman caused the death of so many people and still had the nerve to cry.
“I can very easily kill you.” Jian Yi walked two steps closer, bent down and said, looking at her in the eyes: “But I don’t want it to be that easy. I want to torture you a bit more. I want to hear from your own mouth…… just what you were thinking, when you killed your own little brother. When you killed a ‘kindhearted child.’ Just what were you thinking? Just what were you feeling? Why did you do it?”
Qin niangzi only knew how to cry. Her mental state was on the verge of collapse. She looked as if she already couldn’t speak at all.
But no matter. Jian Yi has plans to let her open her mouth.
Jian Yi flicked his finger. A spiritual energy that originally enveloped a certain corner of the house instantly dissipated. That was a very small soundproof spell. As soon as it disappeared, a voice resonated in the entire room. That was a voice that Qin niangzi should have heard a while ago, but because of her extreme terror, she failed to recognize its absence until hearing it in this instance. Abruptly, she recognized this sound.
The crying sound of a baby.
Jian Yi used a levitation spell and raised the baby little by little into the air. As the baby wailed loudly, it flailed its arms and legs, struggling helplessly . Right below the baby was Landlord Li’s headless body, still gushing out a pool of blood.
“No!” Qin niangzi finally broke down: “Let him go! I’ll talk. I’ll tell you everything. I’m begging you, please let him go!”
“Speak then.” Jian Yi said coldly.
“Because I hated him. Because I really hated him very much!” Qin niangzi said crying: “Why, why is it that we’re both our parents’ children, but mom and dad must leave everything to my little brother! Why do I have to yield to him always just because I’m a woman. Even me marrying someone was just so he could get a wife! I really hated him!” At the end, she cried so hard she almost choked and had to catch her breath as she continued to speak: “Even that Yunling Shop. Ha ha. That Yunling Shop. If it weren’t for the accumulated assets passed down through generations, how could he have opened it with his skills? But dad just had to pass all of the family property into his hands. Even after he had a retarded son, dad said that Yunling Shop was to be transferred to that retard! He said one day, the kid will be cured. Ha ha. What if he couldn’t be cured? Doesn’t matter. It’ll still be passed down to that retard!”
Crying, she curled up: “Why, why. I always strived so hard when I was younger, just so mom and dad can take a second glance at me. Everyone in the city all liked me but mom and dad’s eyes only had my younger brother…… just because I’m a woman. I can’t even compare to a retard……”
Hearing her say this, Jian Yi couldn’t help but press his mouth into a line and fall silent.
He could understand her hate. Of course, he understood it very well. But he still didn’t forget what he came for tonight. He also can’t forget how much blood was on this woman’s hands or how many malicious acts she’s performed.
“After you did all of these things……” Jian Yi couldn’t help but ask: “Did your parents… see you?”
Qin niangzi abruptly lifted her head, a lost look in her eyes. Then she laughed, a completely hysterical wild laugh: “See me? How can they? They were already dead, all because of that retard……”
Then she began to narrate about how she once stole Jian Yi and how she secretly tricked Jian Yi into the forest. At that time, she only wanted to kill Jian Yi. Yet in the end, Jian Yi lived, but her father died in order to save him. From then on, she completely became twisted and started deliberately killing other people, just to push the blame onto Jian Yi. Until later, she encountered the Deity of Fortune, set up that scheme, and finally fulfilled her wish and killed off Jian Yi and his father.
Jian Yi inevitably scoffed: “What a woman, so unworthy of sympathy.”
All of this narration made him recall his dislike towards this woman. The understanding he felt before retreated like the tide. Right now, he only wanted to give this woman the most painful torture.
“Since everything is clear now, let’s just do what I said originally.” Jian Yi said. He raised his palm. To the side, that baby also tugged upwards in the air. Just as he was about to throw the infant to the floor, Jian Yi said with a smile: “Time to let you experience the taste of your most important person dying before your eyes.”
“No!” Qin niangzi rushed over like a lunatic. However, she was knocked over half way by spiritual energy and fell miserably, unable to catch the baby at all.
In the end though, that baby still didn’t land on the ground.
A spiritual energy appeared out of nowhere and caught the infant. Then, a person walked out from behind the shadows of the door.
“Jian shidi.” Wen Xuan pressed his mouth together tightly, his expression grave: “That’s enough.”
Jian Yi looked in shock at Wen Xuan who suddenly appeared, his complexion turning paler and paler.
Why? Why would Wen Xuan be here? This wasn’t right, something wasn’t right here, just what happened?
But what really made Jian Yi despair was the fact that Wen Xuan wasn’t wet from the rain at all. This indicated that since it started raining outside, he’s been here. Perhaps even before Jian Yi killed that Landlord Li.
Wen Xuan was hidden here this entire time, clearly observing Jian Yi’s every move.
Thank You for the chapter (◍•ڡ•◍)❤
I really pity ml’s sister but she’s still evil for all the deaths that she caused
Jian Yi, killing an innocent baby just to get vengeance is a little… unnecessary?
+1
+2
But again the baby may grow up and find him to avenge his parents, it’s a cycle the never ends. Someone has to give in first…or annihilate the bloodline┐( ˘_˘)┌
To be honest her parents were at fault to treat her like that. But what she did was pure evil. They were still her parents who brought her up. Fed her. Only a psycho will kill their whole family for something like this.
Quase morri aqui não machuca o bebê não, bebê não é culpado
Killing a baby is too much I’m going to throw up

I love this story so much ❤️
“Killing a baby is too much” ok but the woman literally wanted to kill a disabled little child who is his own nephew by choking him, and when that failed she also set up multiple murder attempts, just to kill the little innocent child. Killing the child’s entire family and then cursing the child to death with the help of a demonic cultivator. And when the child came for revenge why is it too much? An eye for an eye. “The baby innocent🥺” and so was Jian Yi, his father, and grandparents. What he did was not that cruel, and the baby didn’t even die. End of discussion.
