Discord Bot commands stop working after implementing reply function

I'm very new to programming, but managed to get a very trivial fun bot working for a discord server. It listens to commands such as help and 8ball, but I also wanted it to respond to certain messages.

When I try to make the bot send a message after a specific message has been detected, it works, but all other functions stop working. When I remove the code for the reply function, everything works again. I assume it has something to do with the if statement and that it might need something like a return of pass, but I can't figure it out.

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if 'bad' in message.content.lower():
        if 'bot' in message.content.lower():
            await message.channel.send('testmessage1')

    if 'good' in message.content.lower():
        if 'bot' in message.content.lower():
            await message.channel.send('testmessage2')

Thanks in advance!

Your bot doesn't have a prefix? I mean the code you are using doesn't show that it runs with a prefix. – Bhavyadeep Yadav Apr 08 '21 at 11:49
@BhavyadeepYadav `on_message` events do not need a prefix. – Dominik Apr 08 '21 at 11:51

But how are you even executing this? I know it doesn't but how do you tell your bot to do this? – Bhavyadeep Yadav Apr 08 '21 at 11:52
@BhavyadeepYadav The commands aside from the reply function do have a prefix, %. – Jimmy Apr 08 '21 at 11:53
@BhavyadeepYadav if I input the codesnippet above in the file, whenever someone in discord sends a message containing the words ''bad bot'' next to eachother, it automatically sends a reply – Jimmy Apr 08 '21 at 11:55
Oh! So you are doing that... – Bhavyadeep Yadav Apr 08 '21 at 11:57
@ŁukaszKwieciński You absolute legend! That's what did the trick. Time to learn about coroutines I guess. Thanks! – Jimmy Apr 08 '21 at 11:58
