At this time, the cosmetics company was facing the threat of bankruptcy due to the Qin family's machinations. Qin Yi, in order to protect the only thing her husband left for her and her son, was now groveling and seeking help everywhere.
"Mom, I'm fine, I miss you so much..." Ji Wufeng burst into tears on the spot. Even as a generation's Immortal King with a mind as solid as a rock, he could not suppress his emotions at this moment.
"You little rascal, you actually miss your old mother?
I bet you're either short of money or have gotten into a fight again, right?"
Qin Yi scolded.
"No, I still have money, and I haven't been in a fight. I just wanted to say, Mom, you work too hard and are too tired. I feel so sorry for you..." Qin Yi's call woke Ji Wufeng up abruptly. In the cultivation world, his deep hatred had led to excessive malevolence, making it impossible to break through his mental barriers. Otherwise, the ambush by the five Immortal Venerables would not have succeeded.
Now, with a chance to start over, he would never make the same mistake again. He must control himself. He would take revenge, but the most important thing was to protect the people around him from harm, allowing them to live happily and joyfully.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Wufeng coldly glanced at Zhou Zixin and her daughter, then walked out of the ward.
As soon as Ji Wufeng left, Hu Xiaoli immediately clutched her buttocks and wailed, "Antidote, antidote, give me the antidote quickly, I'm about to die!"
At that moment, a handsome young man dressed in designer clothes walked in, his eyes cold. He sneered and threw a blue glass bottle to the nurse, saying in a stern voice, "You can't even handle such a small matter, you're useless!"
This young man was Qin Hongming, Ji Wufeng's cousin and the young master of the Qin family, one of the four major families in Yuli City. The glass bottle in his hand contained the antidote to the poison.
After Hu Xiaoli hurriedly injected the antidote, she said nervously, "Young Master Qin, this time it was just an accident. Next time, it will definitely work."
Zhou Zixin stepped forward, clinging to Qin Hongming's arm and said in a coquettish voice, "Darling, the Ji family is almost finished. Why do we still need to keep after him?
I don't want to be with him anymore. My heart belongs only to you. Seeing him makes me sick."
"What do you know?
The Ji family's cosmetics company is a well-established brand with very high value. Once it's in the hands of the Qin family, it will be a gold mine."
Qin Hongming said.
This was true. The Ji family's cosmetics company had always focused on traditional Chinese medicine, completely avoiding chemical products, and its effects were very significant. If Qin Yi had not been so preoccupied with Ji Wufeng, she might have internationalized the company long ago.
The Qin family had seen the enormous commercial potential and had been plotting to get their hands on it.
Hearing Qin Hongming's words, Hu Xiaoli's eyes lit up, and she said, "Right, right, Young Master Qin is right. We can't let that kid off yet. Xin Xin, bear with it for a few more days and get close to him to find an opportunity."
The most venomous heart belongs to a woman. For money, she was not only determined to harm others but also willing to sacrifice her daughter's happiness.
...
After coming to the hospital's green area and sitting on a stone bench, Ji Wufeng noticed that although he had lost all his cultivation, the Hidden Dragon Ascension Technique in his mind still existed. He couldn't help but burst into a wild laugh.
"Ha ha ha, Yu Miaoyi, you never expected this, did you?
Not only am I not dead, but I have also regained my physical body. One day, we will settle our scores!"
In the cultivation world, although Ji Wufeng was powerful, he was not the strongest because he had a major flaw: he had no physical body and was a scattered immortal.
Now, reborn with his physical body intact, he was confident that after re-cultivating, he would be much stronger than before! Suddenly, Ji Wufeng's body began to tremble violently, his laughter turning manic, his expression like a madman, tears streaming down his face.
"Mom, Haozi, Yanran... I'm back. In the past, I was powerless, but now I will never let you be hurt again."
As Ji Wufeng was venting his emotions, a cold and angry voice suddenly shouted, "Shut up!"
Not far from Ji Wufeng, an elderly man with white hair and a dignified presence sat in a wheelchair. Beside him stood a tall, beautiful girl with a face like the moon. She was the one who had just shouted at Ji Wufeng.
A doctor was giving the old man acupuncture, clearly disturbed by Ji Wufeng's laughter, which had provoked the girl's anger.
Seeing the girl's face, Ji Wufeng was taken aback. He recognized her; her name was Mei Yinxue, and they were both students at Yuli No. 1 High School. However, Mei Yinxue was a legendary figure.
The top beauty, the top scholar, and the daughter of the richest family in Yuli City, the Mei family! A girl who possessed beauty, intelligence, and wealth, she was undoubtedly the goddess of all the men in Yuli City, including Ji Wufeng a thousand years ago. However, Mei Yinxue was too proud, and there had never been any interaction between them.
Ji Wufeng couldn't help but look at the doctor's acupuncture technique and frowned, saying, "Your acupuncture is useless."
His words immediately angered the doctor, who asked, "Do you understand acupuncture?"
"No."
Ji Wufeng shook his head.
He indeed did not understand acupuncture, but he understood meridians. The old man's leg meridians were blocked, and acupuncture was meant to unblock them, but the doctor's technique was clearly ineffective.
The doctor was instantly furious, but before he could speak, he heard Mei Yinxue's cold voice, "If you don't understand, then shut up!"
It was clear that she was very angry. The doctor was a famous acupuncturist, and it was difficult to invite him. If he were to be offended, there would be no hope for her grandfather's leg.
Perhaps in his previous life, Mei Yinxue's words would have made Ji Wufeng shut up, but who was he now?
A Mixed Yuan Immortal King who had dominated the cultivation world, how could he let a young girl scold him repeatedly!
Boom! Ji Wufeng's eyes widened, and a powerful aura enveloped the area, the dignity of an Immortal King, not to be desecrated! The doctor and Mei Yinxue were unaware, but the old man's face changed dramatically, and he shouted, "Xue'er, step back!"
The old man's voice made Mei Yinxue immediately step back, and Ji Wufeng was also taken aback, his face full of bitter laughter. The overwhelming aura dissipated instantly. It seemed that the malevolence he had cultivated in the cultivation world was too deep, and it was not easy to control it completely.
"Brother, you said Doctor Zhang's acupuncture is ineffective. Do you have any advice?"
The old man asked Ji Wufeng gently, his demeanor truly humble, as if seeking advice.
Mei Yinxue was stunned. Since she could remember, she had never seen her grandfather be so humble to anyone, especially a young man of only eighteen or nineteen.
After all, even the mayor, when visiting the old man, would be extremely respectful and never dare to be impolite.
