Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 116:

Changgui originally felt uncomfortable from the sunburn on his face, even a bit painful, but suddenly, a few drops of water fell on him and he felt noticeably refreshed.

Is it raining?

Changgui looked up and saw the Sect Leader smiling and waving at them.

"Come quickly for some sour plum soup!"

The three kids, having worked for quite a while, all put down their sickles and ran over.

The icy, cool sour plum soup soothed their spirits with each sip, seemingly dispelling the oppressive heat of the summer, leaving only a mouthful of sweet and sour taste.

As Changgui drank, he glanced at Changfu and Xiaohu. Although they were also drenched in sweat, their skin was only slightly red from the heat, unlike his own which was bright red, leaving him feeling a bit unfairly treated.

He knew what was different between himself and the other two: he didn’t have a Spirit Root, which was probably why he got sunburned like this.

Chen Muxue also noticed the difference among the three. She thought for a moment, then extended her little finger to gently wash Changgui’s exposed skin with a stream of water. The red sunburn gradually faded away.

"Does Spiritual Power have such benefits?" Chen Muxue couldn’t help but marvel.

"No wonder the Sect Leader always seemed unaffected while working before," Xiaohu scratched his head.

In the past, the Sect Leader would do the work silently by himself, turning down their offers to help. Now that the Sect Leader finally invited them, they were naturally very happy.

Finally being able to help the Sect Leader, did this mean that in his eyes, they were considered grown-ups now?

After each drinking a bowl of sour plum soup to cool down, Chen Muxue joined the rice harvesting team. Even though it was her first time doing such work, her body seemed accustomed to it, so she quickly adapted.

"The growth this time is excellent, not only enough for us to eat, but with plenty left over!"

Changfu wiped his sweat, a smile on his tanned face.

As dusk fell, because the paddy wasn’t much and they had Spiritual Power, they finished harvesting quickly.

The group returned to the courtyard, and Changfu grew a bit worried again: "Sect Leader, since the rice has matured so early, when should we plant the seedlings again?"

Chen Muxue pondered for a moment: "How about trying to plant them in a couple of days?"

After all, with her Spiritual Power, along with her little finger, it’s enough to irrigate these few acres of field.

If this water can make the rice mature rapidly, keeping the seedlings lively shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Having worked the whole day and with the weather hot, everyone’s appetite wasn’t very big. They simply mixed some sour and spicy refreshing cold dishes to eat along with thin porridge as dinner. The sour plum soup was all finished, so Chen Muxue boiled the ingredients for a second brew. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

So when the messenger knocked on the door again, he saw Chen Muxue holding a bowl of sour plum soup. The bowl, ice-cold, was dripping with water droplets, and just the sight of it gave off a coolness. A slight sweet and sour fragrance reached his nose unconsciously, causing his mouth to water.

It was the same messenger who delivered the invitation before. Watching Chen Muxue holding the sour plum soup, he swallowed hard, feeling inexplicably irritated and a bit yearning.

If it’s a drink, it shouldn’t count as breaking one’s resolve, right?

The messenger’s eyes darted countless times, but Chen Muxue remained indifferent: "What’s the message?"

This woman really lacked understanding or empathy; didn’t she know to offer a hard-working messenger a drink?

The messenger, slightly displeased, took out a letter and handed it to Chen Muxue.

Chen Muxue naturally noticed his craving for the sour plum soup, but last time his attitude was very dismissive.

She suddenly took a big gulp, breathed out a cool breath: "Refreshing!" before taking the letter.
