After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Chapter 783: The Terrifying Qingqing, His Majesty Makes a Move (2)

“They… they were driven by greed and angered you, my lord. It has nothing to do with the rest of the Ning family.”

Though a shaman, focused on the arts as well as Gu, fundamentally still practiced medicine. Their constitution was no stronger than that of ordinary people.

Moreover, the practice of cultivating Gu within their bodies and testing medicines on themselves left them even more frail.

The middle-aged man’s face turned a mottled purple as his breathing grew labored.

His mind buzzed in confusion, unable to comprehend what was happening.

Wasn’t Nian Yi’an just a high school student?

Who was the person standing before him, and what was their connection to Nian Yi’an?

“Unfortunately, you learned my brother’s identity,” Si Fuqing said coolly. “For his safety, you must stay silent.”

The middle-aged man’s eyes widened. He wanted to beg for mercy but could make no sound.

“By the way, we were using false identities back then. When you refused to treat my boss, you never thought you’d find yourselves in this predicament, did you?” Si Fuqing’s eyelashes lowered as she chuckled. “This is our second meeting. There won’t be a third.”

“!.”

The middle-aged man’s eyes widened further as a distant memory surfaced. He tried to speak, “You… you…”

In the next moment, his body went limp, and he passed out.

The elder trembled violently.

He knew that Ning Tingyi’s lineage was finished.

But it was of little consequence, as Ning Tingyi lacked talent in the ways of Gu magic.

Damn it! If they had to capture an evolved being, couldn’t they at least target those without any affiliations?

“By the way,” Si Fuqing turned and smiled, “I believe this matter has nothing to do with you. Grudges should be settled with those responsible. I won’t harm you, but if you seek revenge, I’ll be ready.”

The elder’s legs shook. “I wouldn’t dare! My lord, even if you gave me a hundred lives, I wouldn’t dare. Please, my lord, tell me your name, so I may honor you in the future!”

They could, at best, recruit Class B evolved beings.

But the girl before him had easily killed two Class B evolved beings.

The elder, already terrified, had lost control of his bodily functions. He stammered, “My Ning family has nothing to offer you, my lord, except a new batch of medicinal herbs. If you don’t mind, I will present them all to you!”

“Oh?” Si Fuqing paused, her tone indifferent. “Then bring them here.”

The elder immediately ordered all the herbs to be brought to her.

Si Fuqing had used her life-saving medicine to heal Nian Yi’an, so her supply of herbs was indeed depleted.

Without hesitation, she accepted all the herbs.

Her figure once again melted into the darkness, and the plane took off.

The elder collapsed to the ground, still trembling.

He dared not resist.

When the opponent’s power was so overwhelming, resistance was futile.

What could they do?

Si Fuqing’s actions had alarmed the entire council of elders.

The second elder rushed over, astonished by Si Fuqing’s methods. “Brother, are we just going to let this go?”

“What else can we do?” the elder snapped. “It was their own family’s fault. They brought this upon themselves. If you’re unhappy, go deal with it yourself.”

The second elder shrank back, saying nothing.

In the morning, Si Fuqing returned to An City.

Without resting, she went straight home.

Nian Yi’an had just woken up from a nap.

“Feeling better?” Si Fuqing asked, taking out a medicine bottle. “Here, take another pill.”

Nian Yi’an swallowed it in one gulp. “Qingqing, this medicine isn’t expensive, is it?”

Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow. “Not too expensive. You only consumed the equivalent of a house in the second ring of Sijiu.”

Nian Yi’an was speechless.

You might as well kill me.

Just as he was about to say something, there was a sudden sound.

“Bang!”

His backbones cracked audibly.

Yuejian’s expression became serious as she quickly retreated.

The energy burst forth, and a pair of enormous wings slowly unfurled.

Luckily, the room was large enough to accommodate them.

Si Fuqing, prepared, worked with Yuejian to contain the burst of energy.

Nian Yi’an, initially bewildered, carefully touched the wings on his back.

They were hard, like blades.

He tried to retract them, and upon successfully doing so, he exhaled in relief. “Good thing they didn’t appear in class.”

Otherwise, with the hardness of his wings, he would have skewered Lin Jihuan.

Si Fuqing was speechless.

After a few seconds, she said slowly, “Try your speed.”
