Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 168: Braised Chicken Rice

Upon hearing Chen Muxue say this, Chu Wuyi finally began to elaborate.

That day, he managed to scrape together enough money to buy a bowl of tomato noodles for his sister. After she ate, he was just about to rest when Wang Yue suddenly appeared at the door.

At that time, Wang Yue could only be described as "tattered and torn." He didn’t know what she’d been through; she looked like a broken doll, with some of her bones sticking out from her flesh, yet Chu Wuyi couldn’t understand how Wang Yue could still move.

She didn’t say a word. Chu Wuyi remembered seeing Wang Yue move her lips, but it seemed her throat was also damaged, unable to make a sound.

Just like that, she stepped slowly into the small dilapidated shelter he was renting. Chu Wuyi, possessing some cultivation, was knocked to the ground with a single move, then pinned down by a dense black mist, completely unable to move.

When the black mist dispersed, Chu Wuxin was gone. Only the tattered Wang Yue lay on the ground, motionless. When Chu Wuyi approached to check, she was dead, completely cold in just a moment’s time.

"I’ll have to dig a hole to bury her!" Chu Wuyi said, clenching his fist in anger.

Cen Lizhui stroked his chin. "It doesn’t sound like she was abducted. Rather, it seems that the black Qi exchanged her for a parasitic body?"

As a breeze blew by, the sound of crickets filled the air, bringing a sense of tranquility.

"It seems Wang Yue’s body couldn’t take it, so the black Qi possessed your sister and left," Chen Muxue repeated in a different wording.

"Exactly!" Chu Wuyi’s anger made him unusually agitated.

"Where’s this shelter located? Take us to have a look," Cen Lizhui pressed further.

A few fallen leaves floated down, reminding everyone that August had arrived and autumn was not far off.

Cen Lizhui suddenly slapped his own face.

Chu Wuyi’s gaze quickly shifted to him.

"Mosquito."

And so, Cen Lizhui lost Chu Wuyi’s attention once again.

"With his sister’s fate unknown, Master Chu is so anxious that he’s a bit out of his mind," Chen Muxue suppressed a smile. "Judging by his appearance, it seems he hasn’t had a full meal for quite some time. How about eating first and then heading to the shelter to see if there are any traces left?"

Thinking of the food Chen Muxue made, Chu Wuyi’s stomach grumbled audibly, prompting him to cover his belly in embarrassment and salute Chen Muxue. "Thank you, Miss Chen. In the future, should anything arise, I won’t hesitate to face any challenge for you!"

Despite the chaos outside, the need for food is fundamental, and Chen Muxue believed the simplest way to temporarily relax was with a good meal.

This time, Chen Muxue planned to make the takeout favorite that never loses popularity—Yellow Braised Chicken Rice.

She tossed the chicken to Cen Lizhui. "Chop it into small pieces," she said while gesturing the size of the pieces.

After cleaning the dried mushrooms, they were soaked. The reason for cleaning first is because the soaking water will be used later. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

In modern times, using chicken thigh meat would be preferable, but in this era, buying a whole chicken is much easier than just purchasing chicken thighs.

Ideally, you’d soak the chicken pieces in cold water to extract the blood, but Chen Muxue didn’t have much time, so she directly washed the chicken pieces as much as she could to remove the blood, then marinated them with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, white pepper powder, ginger powder, oyster sauce, and five-spice powder.

Cubed potatoes were rinsed to remove starch. Green peppers were cut into pieces, and the soaked mushrooms were halved.

"Sect Leader, there are people from the Immortal Supervision Bureau outside!" At that moment, Changgui suddenly rushed in and said.
