After my sister took care of them all, I thought she would leave, but she unexpectedly stayed.

She began looking around as if searching for something.

I hid in the toilet, covering my mouth, afraid to make a sound because I heard her muttering to herself: "How come one is missing? Where did the other one go?"

Our toilet was in the corner of the yard, a dry toilet with lots of brick gaps. Through the cracks, I could clearly see everything happening in the yard.

My sister looked around the yard, then went inside to search, but finding nothing, she headed towards the front gate.

I thought she was leaving, just relaxed, then suddenly lifted my head to find her head appearing on the toilet wall.

"Hey, found you, so you're hiding here..."

My heart seemed to stop beating for a moment, and I nearly choked up.

What's going on? Didn't Li Jianjun give me a drug that hides a person's breath? How could she have found me?

Just when I thought it was over for me, Li Jianjun suddenly appeared. He stood directly in front of me and slapped a talisman on my sister's forehead.

"Sorry for being late. You better leave first, I'll handle this." Li Jianjun pushed me out of the toilet, and I didn't bother with him, just turning to run without looking back.

But before I could leave the house, my sister blocked me.

I was forced to step back repeatedly: "Li Jianjun, are you capable or not? Why didn't you subdue my sister!"

Li Jianjun stood behind me and suddenly burst into laughter. "Subdue your sister? Why should I subdue her? Everything I did was to revive her!"

"Honestly, the drug I gave you was not a drug to conceal living breath. It's called the Soul-Resurrecting Pill! The time the drug stayed in your body was enough to take effect. I told you no one who harmed your sister could escape. Don't think I don't know that you deliberately let your parents find that love letter!"

As Li Jianjun spoke more and got worked up, he seemed as if he wanted to flay me alive.

I looked at him calmly, "Kill or torture as you wish, since the ones destined to die are already dead..."

Li Jianjun sneered, "Hehe, then go ahead and die." Li Jianjun didn't kill me directly, but knocked me unconscious.

When I regained consciousness, I saw myself, or rather, my body.

My body stood side by side with Li Jianjun.

Li Jianjun looked at my body affectionately, "As long as you're still alive, it's fine. I love you, not your gender."

My body smiled and responded to Li Jianjun, "What about them?"

Li Jianjun looked at my parents, the dead Taoist priest, then back at me.

"No need to worry, when the time comes, you just have to say it was your sister coming back to take revenge on them, and no one in the village will question it."

"And 'her'?" My body pointed in my direction.

"Don't worry, his soul is temporarily sealed in your body. It won't be long before it dissipates on its own."

As soon as Li Jianjun's words fell, my vision began to blur until I couldn't see or hear anything... (Bonus Chapter 1)

From as far as I can remember, I always disliked my sister. I didn't understand why my parents liked my sister so much.

My sister was spoiled and arrogant, she was very disdainful of me, never calling me her brother, saying I was ugly and dark. She didn't have such an ugly brother like me.

Everything I ate and used was leftovers from my sister. I even had to wear clothes she didn't want.

As a boy, wearing girl's clothes, I dared not go out, as I would be laughed at by the other children in the village.

Other boys in the village, each one was showered with love and affection by their parents. I was the exception.

So, the other boys in the village all cursed me as a bastard and a coward, and no one in the village wanted to play with me.

Ever since I knew how strict my parents were in terms of affection for my sister, I secretly harbored a plan in my heart.

I wanted to give them a surprise on my sister's coming-of-age ceremony, the one they valued most.

But I never expected this surprise to come knocking on my door instead.

Li Jianjun in the village liked my sister, I always knew, but I never expected him to ask me to deliver a love letter to my sister.

I agreed readily, took the love letter, and directly opened it and placed it on my sister's desk, then made an excuse to send my mother to my sister's room.

I just wanted to teach my sister a lesson and see my parents scold her.

I never expected their reaction to be so severe, and the consequences to be so serious.

When my sister cried out for help, I was nervous and terrified, afraid to look at her, let alone save her.

Later, when she died, I was actually a bit happy in my heart.

I thought that with her gone, my parents would love me more.

Unfortunately, from my parents' behavior towards me, I realized that without my sister, they still wouldn't love me, because some parents only love themselves.

When that Taoist first explained to me why my parents favored my sister, I didn't want to know. The reason I agreed to bring my sister back was solely because I was afraid that she would actually come back and seek revenge on me.

The Taoist's method to control my sister seemed too simple, I had doubts, but a sense of false hope made me choose to temporarily trust him.

Until later, when Li Jianjun came to find me, the truth proved that Li Jianjun's words were more trustworthy, so I chose to believe Li Jianjun again.

Just, I never expected the Taoist to take my sister to perform a soul marriage, things were becoming more complicated, but Li Jianjun seemed able to solve them one by one.

I followed his instructions step by step. To save my life, I chose to trust him.

I knew my parents valued money greatly, so if I told them that the Taoist secretly took my sister to perform a soul marriage, they would definitely haggle with the Taoist for money.

I did all this, not to buy time so the Taoist could save my parents, but to make them both suffer, to leave the Taoist completely defenseless, and to let my sister kill them all with certainty.

If it weren't for that Taoist, my sister would have died eighteen years ago, and without her from the start, my days would not have been so bitter.

So that Taoist deserved to die.

My parents didn't deserve to be parents, they deserved to die too.

Now that things had come to this point, only after they all died could I truly lead the life I wanted.

But what I didn't expect was that I was actually outsmarted by Li Jianjun. (Extra Chapter 2)

I actually didn't like Xuyaozu's sister at all.

My grandmother was the village fairy. She had long seen that Xudani was a sinister woman.

And the only reason I pretended to like her was to gain her virginity.

So on her coming-of-age day, I wrote a love letter to her and asked her out.

I never expected that Xuyaozu, that fool, would ruin my plan.

After Xudani died, the Taoist preempted me.

I had been secretly tracking the Taoist, planning to find an opportunity to steal Xudani's body.

I never thought the Taoist would secretly marry Xudani.

After a second thought, stealing her body, then letting Xudani rise up and directly retaliate, seemed a bit meaningless.

Furthermore, Xuyaozu ruined my plan so easily, making him die was too easy.

So I deliberately called him out, made him witness his sister being married off, scared him a little, then gave him some hope.

After that hope took root in his heart, I uprooted it. Just seeing the shocked expression on his face felt immensely satisfying to me.

But Xudani, that stupid woman, thought I truly liked her.

I made a great effort to swap her soul, only because an evil woman's soul could be refined into a Pill of Fortune, but her soul was damaged and temporarily unable to be directly refined.

Her original body was also unable to continue carrying her soul, so I needed to find a new body to nurture her soul, and her younger brother was the best candidate.

Because Xudani's parents had a bad reputation in the village, causing such a big incident, no one in the village was willing to help them.

Even behind their backs, people cursed them, saying they deserved it. But with so many people dead in the family at once, and now only Xuyaozu was left, he had nothing and no way to bury those bodies.

It was midsummer now, and the bodies would start to rot and smell if they weren't buried soon. To prevent the matter from escalating, the village chief had to ask a few men from the village to help bury the bodies.

After dealing with Xudani's family affairs, three days had passed by. Calculating the time, Xudani's soul had been nurtured enough.

I called Xudani to my house, told her that she had just changed bodies and that her soul and body were not yet fully matched. One final stabilization, and she could truly possess her younger brother's body.

She trusted me, without any hesitation. After all, a child like her, who had been pampered since childhood, would not understand the treacherous nature of people.

She lay on the sacrificial altar I specially prepared for her, very cooperative.

I tied red threads all over her body, then sealed her mouth and nose.

Until she couldn't breathe and her face turned red, did she realize I still had no plans to release her.

As she gasped for air and struggled, she asked me what I was doing.

I smiled and asked her, "How does it feel to experience suffocation again?"

She looked at me with confusion.

Seeing her bewildered expression, I laughed, tears streaming down my face.

"Do you remember my grandmother? The little old lady who pampered me for over ten years. She died, killed by you and your father, huh?"

She shook her head in fear, "I didn't... I didn't kill your grandmother..."

"Hehe, you've forgotten pretty quickly, but I remember. I'll remember for a lifetime! My grandmother already had a weak heart and high blood pressure, and your father was playing cards next door and shouting randomly. One time, your father lost in cards and was in a bad mood, passing by my house. Our family had an old dog for over ten years, and it barked at your father a few times. Your father then kicked it to death."

"My grandmother went to reason with your father. And what did your father do? Do you remember? He said that the dog was already old, so he just sent it to the afterlife early. He even said my grandmother was old, should he help my grandmother too, so she could go early to join the dog."

The more I spoke, the more I hated, and the more terrified Xudani became. A person who had died once and was now facing the threat of death again could only feel more fear.

"How about it? Seeing your expression, are you remembering now?" I pinched her chin, looking her in the eyes, trying to find a trace of remorse on her face, but there was none, only despair.

"My grandmother had a heart attack from your father scaring her, and collapsed. Your father was shocked and initially planned to take my grandmother to the hospital. But you told him my grandmother was pretending, just trying to extort money. You both just left my grandmother behind and walked away. But karma comes around, you didn't expect these deeds to be seen by passing villagers. Unfortunately, when I arrived and took my grandmother to the hospital, it was too late to save her."

"I hate you both, but I still chose to keep my grandmother's true cause of death hidden. I knew it wouldn’t work to confront you, so... I pretended to like you, purposely got close to you. Do you know how disgusting it is to pretend to like someone? Luckily, my efforts are about to pay off now."

Ignoring her pleas, I sealed her mouth and nose again. I wanted to watch her suffocate to death again, and once her flesh died, I would extract her soul, and the process of refining that soul into a Pill of Fortune would be as agonizing as being torn limb from limb, and she would truly feel that pain.

It was all the punishment she deserved.

They were a terrible family, and now only "he" was left. If "he" suddenly disappeared from the village, no one would care. At most, after some unknown amount of time had passed, villagers chatting after meals might mention, "That family, they all died tragically, leaving only one child." "Yep, it's all karma. But it's been a while since we've seen that child." "Who knows? Maybe that child thought with the family gone, they went off on their own to make a living..."
