I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 97 Breaking the Shell

"Ruan Qi, you take control of the flying boat's direction," Yun Qingyi said.

"Huh? Uncle-Master, I've never operated this thing before, I don't know how." Upon hearing this, Ruan Qi waved his hand, somewhat flustered.

"It's alright, it's very simple," Yun Qingyi said, leading Ruan Qi to the helm.

"Inject spiritual energy into it, and then you can control the course of the flying boat according to your own will."

"Try it."

Ruan Qi nodded and poured his spiritual energy into the rudder. He was a little apprehensive at first, but then he found that it was indeed as his uncle had said, and it was very easy to control. His eyes lit up immediately.

When she was little, she had seen her father taking her younger sister on a flying boat to travel to other places from afar. She never imagined that one day she could not only ride a flying boat, but also control it herself. She was overjoyed.

"Drive towards your father's house." Yun Qingyi smiled and said, "I promised to avenge your mother. It's been several years, and we've both grown up. With your Uncle Gu's help, we'll definitely be able to get justice for you this time."

Ruan Qi was slightly taken aback, then simply smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Qingyi."

Some kindnesses don't need to be expressed; she will remember them in her heart.

This airship is not very large. In addition to the facilities rooms, there are about twenty rooms for people to rest, making it a medium-sized airship.

After chatting with Ruan Qi for a few more minutes and then saying goodbye to everyone, Yun Qingyi returned to her room on the flying boat.

As soon as she returned to her room, Yun Qingyi took out the phoenix egg that she had almost forgotten about.

As soon as the phoenix egg was released from the storage ring, it jumped around rapidly, clearly extremely hungry.

Yun Qingyi: "..."

She glanced at her storage ring. She had put half of the celestial beast skeleton that her master had given her into the storage ring, and now, there wasn't a single bone left.

For a moment, Yun Qingyi felt a little guilty. When she was in seclusion, she thought this would be enough for the little thing to eat. She didn't expect the egg to be so greedy and to have used it all up in just five years.

You should know that the spiritual power contained in the bones that her master gave her was far greater than the one she picked up in the sect's treasure pavilion back then.

In order to prevent the egg that was running around everywhere from ruining her room, Yun Qingyi immediately took out the remaining bones of the immortal beasts and placed them on the table.

As if sensing the aura of the immortal beast skeleton on the table, the phoenix egg remained suspended in mid-air before finally falling straight down onto the table, grabbing a piece of the immortal beast skeleton and vigorously absorbing the spiritual energy within.

Piece by piece, after absorbing the last piece, the phoenix egg lay on the table, shook slightly, as if it had let out a burp.

……

Yun Qingyi walked to the table, picked up the phoenix egg, and intended to throw it into her ring. However, the phoenix egg dodged left and right, refusing to let Yun Qingyi catch it.

Helpless, Yun Qingyi tried to communicate with it, "Don't you want to go into the storage ring?"

The phoenix egg bounced up and down twice, as if nodding.

"Oh? It's quite intelligent." Yun Qingyi looked at the phoenix egg with some surprise.

"Then you can stay here, but you must go into your storage ring after you get off the flying boat."

The phoenix egg bounced again, indicating its agreement.

Seeing this, Yun Qingyi ignored it and sat cross-legged on the bed to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate.

That night, moonlight shone into the room through the window.

The phoenix egg on the table trembled slightly, the flame patterns on its body became exceptionally bright, and the surrounding air gradually became scorching hot.

Yun Qingyi sensed something amiss, opened her eyes, and heard the sound of an eggshell cracking.

Then he looked at the phoenix egg on the table, its vibrant flame patterns gleaming in the moonlight.

Yun Qingyi was slightly taken aback. She quickly got out of bed and went to the table. At this time, there were already cracks on the eggshell. Presumably, the cracking sound she had just heard was caused by these cracks.

Is it about to hatch?

Looking at the phoenix egg, which was clearly not right, Yun Qingyi quickly came to a conclusion.

As if to confirm Yun Qingyi's words, many more cracks appeared on the phoenix egg.

The air inside the room was getting hotter and hotter.

Yun Qingyi quickly used her spiritual power to protect her body. She was very glad that she was a cultivator, otherwise she would have suffered heatstroke if she had stayed for another quarter of an hour.

The phoenix egg made cracking sounds from time to time, the flame patterns on its body grew brighter and brighter, and the surrounding temperature rose higher and higher, even scalding a dent into the table made of spirit wood.

Yun Qingyi: "..."

She swallowed hard and took back what she had just said. She estimated that she would not only suffer from heatstroke, but she might also melt into this place like the spirit tree.

Yun Qingyi put on several more layers of spiritual energy shields until she could no longer feel any heat and even felt a slight coolness before continuing to look at the phoenix egg on the table.

The phoenix egg had melted a hole in the table and fallen underneath.

Yun Qingyi took out a round shield-type spiritual artifact and placed it on the part of the table that hadn't been melted.

Pick up the phoenix egg from under the table and place it on the spirit shield.

Seeing the spirit shield emit a faint glow the moment it touched the phoenix egg, Yun Qingyi smiled and thought to herself that she was truly a genius.

As time went by, several cracks finally appeared on the eggshell, and the radiance of the spirit shield under the phoenix egg also became stronger than before, rivaling the flame patterns on the phoenix egg.

The scorching air caused the doors and windows, made of a special material, to become slightly distorted.

After an unknown amount of time, Yun Qingyi looked out the window and saw that the moon was gradually setting in the west.

Suddenly, I heard a crisp sound of an eggshell cracking.

Yun Qingyi immediately turned her head and found that the top of the eggshell on the table was broken off, and the little head inside the eggshell was trembling slightly, as if hesitating.

Then it slowly poked its head out, its tiny golden crest drooping, and its small black eyes looking curiously at Yun Qingyi.
