"Mom, are we really going to do this?
It could kill someone!"
"Nonsense, if this bastard doesn't die, how can we help Young Master Qin get his property?
How can you become the young mistress of the Qin family?"
At the Yuli Central Hospital, Ji Wufeng lay unconscious on the hospital bed. Beside him stood a fat, big-eared woman with a yellow face and fierce eyes, and a girl around eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed provocatively, her eyes filled with hesitation but more greed.
A nurse held a syringe, her hands trembling, her face full of hesitation and fear.
The girl was right; the syringe contained poison that could cause organ failure and death. She was about to commit murder.
The yellow-faced woman snarled at the nurse, "Stop dawdling, inject it quickly, or I'll tell the police about your child-selling business."
The nurse panicked, no longer hesitating, and with a fierce look, she approached Ji Wufeng with the syringe. Just as the needle was about to pierce his skin, Ji Wufeng suddenly opened his eyes.
"Ah!"
Guilty and frightened, the nurse screamed, nearly collapsing to the ground.
Ji Wufeng, now awake, looked bewildered and said, "I... I'm not dead yet?
Where am I?"
When he saw the mother and daughter in front of him and looked around, the memories that had been blurred for a thousand years gradually became clear, flooding his mind like a tidal wave. His expression turned to shock, and his heart churned with turmoil.
"Is this Earth?"
At this moment, Ji Wufeng was just an eighteen-year-old high school student about to take the college entrance exam. The mother and daughter were his girlfriend, Zhou Zixin, and her future mother-in-law, Hu Xiaoli. However, they were not there to show concern but to murder him.
Years ago, Ji Wufeng's father went missing, leaving a cosmetics company to his mother, Qin Yi, who ran it into a well-known enterprise in Yuli. Ji Wufeng was a well-known rich second generation.
However, his maternal grandfather's family, the Qin family, had ulterior motives and was determined to seize the Ji family's business. They secretly smeared the company's reputation, causing it to be in debt and on the brink of bankruptcy.
They also arranged for Ji Wufeng's cousin, Qin Hongming, to use underhanded tactics during a basketball game, causing Ji Wufeng to fall and lose consciousness on the court, leading to his hospitalization.
Qin Hongming then seduced Ji Wufeng's materialistic girlfriend, Zhou Zixin, and had her threaten the hospital nurse to inject poison into Ji Wufeng, turning a minor injury into a fatal illness. They even engaged in a lewd act in front of him, causing him to die from a heart attack.
Upon hearing the news, Qin Yi, who was already overworked, fell ill and could not recover. During her illness, the Qin family forced her to hand over the Ji family's business. Desperate, Qin Yi jumped to her death, and the Ji family's business ultimately fell into the hands of the Qin family.
Ji Wufeng's good friend, Haozi, and the orphan Yanran, whom Qin Yi had adopted, tried to seek justice. Haozi was beaten to a cripple by Qin Hongming, and the six- or seven-year-old Yanran was sold to human traffickers, disappearing without a trace.
Each word, each drop of blood and tears, turned into a deep-seated hatred that he would never forget, even after thousands of years... Seeing Ji Wufeng awake, Zhou Zixin was panic-stricken but quickly regained her composure and said coldly, "How can you be so stupid?
You fell during a basketball game and made my mom skip work to come see you."
Hu Xiaoli added with disdain, "With such a big issue at home, you still have the heart to play basketball. You're a failure, and it's right that you're going bankrupt."
Initially, it was Zhou Zixin who pursued Ji Wufeng. At first, she and her mother were very accommodating and caring towards him. However, when they learned that the Ji family's cosmetics company was about to go bankrupt, they turned their backs on him, often mocking and belittling him, believing he was unworthy of Zhou Zixin.
After Zhou Zixin hooked up with Qin Hongming, they became even more vicious, plotting to kill Ji Wufeng and help Qin Hongming seize the Ji family's business.
Ji Wufeng's heart burned with murderous intent towards this heartless mother and daughter, but he quickly calmed down. As a mighty Immortal King, his mental fortitude was unshakable, and he would not be easily disturbed.
When Ji Wufeng was murdered, his soul did not perish. He wandered into the cultivation world by chance and obtained the ancient cultivation technique, "Qianlong Ascension Technique," which opened his path to cultivation.
Ji Wufeng, with his extraordinary talent and the power of the "Qianlong Ascension Technique," became a Transcendent Immortal, reigning supreme for a thousand years, unmatched among his peers, and was revered as the Primordial Immortal King.
However, he met a treacherous friend. Betrayed by his confidante, he was ambushed by five Immortal Sovereigns, tortured, and forced to reveal the cultivation techniques of the "Qianlong Ascension Technique."
In a fit of rage, Ji Wufeng chose to self-destruct his soul, but he did not perish. Instead, he returned to Earth, a thousand years in the past.
"Since Auntie is so busy, you should go back. I'm fine anyway."
Ji Wufeng suppressed his rage and smiled.
Zhou Zixin was angry and said, "How dare you speak to my mom like that?
You have no manners!"
"Do you think I wanted to come see you?
It's just that my dear Zixin was worried about you and insisted on coming," Hu Xiaoli glared.
Ji Wufeng sneered inwardly. You're just here to make sure the poison works, aren't you?
"Nurse, hurry up and give the injection. I need to get back to work."
Hu Xiaoli urged, clearly eager to kill Ji Wufeng.
Ji Wufeng said, "Nurse, I just fell and didn't even break the skin. Do I really need an injection?"
"I..." The nurse, feeling guilty, changed her expression.
Hu Xiaoli glared at the nurse and said, "This injection is not ordinary. It's good for your health. It will help your injuries heal faster and strengthen your body, even beautify your skin. Don't dawdle, inject it quickly. It's expensive, don't waste it."
Ji Wufeng wanted to laugh. To come up with something like strengthening the body and beautifying the skin, this woman was truly a master of deception.
"Since the medicine is so good, you should use it, Auntie. Consider it my way of showing respect."
Ji Wufeng snatched the syringe from the nurse and aimed it at Hu Xiaoli.
Zhou Zixin's face changed, and she screamed, "Ji Wufeng, what are you doing?"
Hu Xiaoli's face turned green with fear, and she tried to run, but Ji Wufeng grabbed her. He chuckled inwardly and deliberately stumbled, causing the syringe to pierce Hu Xiaoli's buttock.
"Ah... Help... Help..."
Hu Xiaoli screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
"Sorry, Auntie, I didn't mean to. But you said it has beautifying effects, so it should be fine, right?"
Ji Wufeng's face was apologetic, but his eyes were cold. His murderous intent spread. If it weren't for this venomous mother and daughter, the subsequent tragedies would not have happened. Now, he would make Zhou Zixin and Hu Xiaoli suffer.
Just then, the phone rang. It was his mother, Qin Yi.
"Son, how is your studying going?"
Qin Yi's voice was tired and hoarse.
