Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 139

"What happened, even if I come, it’s useless?" Liu Quan appeared just in time.

"Sect Leader!" Changgui took advantage of Shen Yao’s momentary daze to break free from her grasp, and charged towards Chen Muxue like a runaway wild dog—no, wild horse. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Shen Yao looked displeased but still awkwardly greeted Liu Quan.

Then, the old man slowly caught up.

"Master Shen’s coming to see his daughter again?" Liu Quan cheerfully smiled at the old man.

"Kids will be kids, Sect Leader, no need to intervene. Let them play," Master Shen said to smooth things over.

Liu Quan looked at Chen Muxue.

Having just learned the whole story from Changgui, Chen Muxue was speechless. She never expected Changgui to still be a mischievous brat. Shen Yao’s father was quite broad-minded; if it were her, she’d surely have spanked Changgui!

Seeing the situation turn favorable, Chen Muxue easily played along: "Haha, yes indeed, kids just love to play, right!"

Shen Yao received Chen Muxue’s glance and suddenly felt a surge of anger but couldn’t vent it in front of her elders, so she stomped her foot and snorted angrily, turning her face away.

It’s often said that no matter how old children are, they’re still kids in front of their parents. Chen Muxue secretly chuckled.

"Sect Leader, are we heading back?" Changgui asked, looking up.

"Let’s cook first and eat, go and summon the others."

With that, Changgui dashed away.

"Miss Chen!" Fei Ying hurried over. Liuyun Sect’s kitchen was practically Sixth Elder’s exclusive kitchen, and hearing that Chen Muxue was coming to cook brought tears to his eyes.

Changgui found Xiaohua, who was squatting on the ground holding a toothpick.

"What are you doing?" Changgui asked, leaning closer.

"Shh!" Xiaohua put a finger to his lips to signal him to keep quiet.

A chubby hedgehog waddled along.

"Wait! I want to ride the ox-cart too!" Xiaohua fiddled with the toothpick, shouting at the hedgehog.

It seemed to Changgui that the hedgehog glanced at Xiaohua in disbelief.

"Hehe... Changgui, where did Sect Leader go?" After playing, Xiaohua immediately forgot the hedgehog.

Changgui pouted: "How come Xiaohu is called Brother Xiaohu, and I’m just Changgui?"

"You’re neither as tall nor as strong as Brother Xiaohu," Xiaohua spoke honestly like a true child, and Changgui felt like his little heart was pierced by the hedgehog.

Wait a minute, something felt off.

Changgui wiggled his toes and looked down curiously.

Oh my! His heart wasn’t pierced by the hedgehog, but his foot was!

Changgui quickly kicked his foot, sending the hedgehog flying, tracing a perfect arc through the air.

"Ouch!" A Liuyun Sect disciple guarding in the shadows was hit by the hedgehog, crying out in pain.

"Hehe, let’s run!" Changgui quickly pulled Xiaohua away, "Sect Leader said he’s going to make us something delicious!"

No need for Changgui to call them, Changfu and Xiaohu had already returned to Chen Muxue’s side, especially Xiaohu, who was always punctual at mealtime.

Liu Quan was a bit surprised at how Xiaohu controlled his spiritual power so precisely: "Amazing, at such a young age, and with a Fire Spirit Root, he can be so steady! I wonder if you’d be interested in joining Liuyun Sect and learning with our alchemist?"

Chen Muxue lightly coughed: "Sect Leader?"

"Haha! I’m being presumptuous; with someone as skilled as Miss Chen, why look elsewhere?" Liu Quan quickly waved his hands.

In truth, if Xiaohu could join Liuyun Sect, with Liuyun Sect’s resources for Bone Marrow Cleansing, he’d have limitless potential. Staying in Qian Ding Sect would indeed be a waste.

Liu Quan thought to himself but didn’t show it.
