Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 169

Cen Lizhui glanced at Chen Muxue, who was pouring oil, washed his hands, and said, "I’ll go take a look."

"If I’m not mistaken, your attire indicates you’re a disciple of the Immortal Sect, isn’t it?" Unexpectedly, Chu Wuyi didn’t ignore Cen Lizhui this time but instead took the initiative to speak.

"So what if I am from the Immortal Sect?"

Chu Wuyi closed his eyes; he didn’t want to engage with people from the Immortal Sect. He had no intention of getting involved with them, but since the other party seemed intent on getting involved in matters concerning his sister, and he was alone, the only help he could think of was the Qian Ding Sect. Besides, Chen Muxue seemed completely indifferent to his involvement...

Moreover, he realized that Chen Muxue allowed him to enter, partly because of this person’s influence.

Thus, whether for himself or for the Qian Ding Sect, he had to speak up now.

People involved in a situation are often the ones who overlook related issues the most. It was after escaping from the Chu Family that Chu Wuyi understood this point.

"I saw what was happening outside. It’s the Fei Xing Sect causing trouble again, isn’t it? Although I’m not entirely clear on what’s going on, I’ve seen wounds from the golden whip and the sword from the Fei Xing Sect leader before," Chu Wuyi explained,

"Matters between two sects are always simpler than three. Moreover, the Immortal Sect is not just any ordinary sect. If the Immortal Sect gets involved, even simple matters become complex."

Cen Lizhui fell silent. He hadn’t considered these points immediately. He subconsciously thought that changing his clothes to avoid being recognized would be enough, but the people from the Immortal Supervision Bureau were not that easily deceived.

"Let me do it," Chu Wuyi said, "After all, right now I am just a loose cultivator, and the most unfortunate kind at that. I don’t represent anyone, which makes it fitting."

"Whether you believe it or not, what’s happening here is entirely the other party’s provocation. Strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with the Qian Ding Sect," Cen Lizhui reminded.

"I’m not stupid," Chu Wuyi said, once again cupping his hands to Chen Muxue, "Even if Miss Chen doesn’t help me this time, her kindness towards me remains profound as always. I trust Miss Chen’s character."

Chen Muxue, in the middle of taking out the slightly discolored potatoes, was stunned. No matter how she recalled it, she could only remember providing him with two bowls of porridge. How did that translate to profound kindness?

Hmm... It’s no harm in accepting advantages when offered. He’s the one who said it, not me.

As Chu Wuyi stepped out, Chen Muxue was stir-frying sugar with the chicken pieces. After evenly frying and coloring over high heat, she added ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and bay leaves. After stir-frying until fragrant, she added cooking wine to eliminate the smell, followed by soy sauce, oyster sauce, a bit of dark soy sauce for coloring, a bit of sugar to enhance flavor, and stir-fried them evenly.

She added mushrooms and the water used to soak the mushrooms, ensuring it covered the chicken. If not enough, she added boiling water until sufficient. The dish would taste better with broth.

After boiling on high heat and skimming the foam, she reduced to low heat to simmer for forty minutes. Chen Muxue told Cen Lizhui to watch the heat, and if after forty minutes it still wasn’t resolved, to add potatoes and let it cook for another twenty-five minutes.

She herself stepped out to check the situation with the Immortal Supervision Bureau.

Cen Lizhui, after daydreaming for a while, noticed a resentful gaze directed towards him.

"Little Tiger? What’s wrong?"

Little Tiger pouted, "Do I still need to watch the fire?"

Cen Lizhui was speechless for a moment, then noticed another somewhat evasive look.

"Changgui?"

Changgui, pinching his fingers nervously, said, "I-I can now light fires too."

Only then did Cen Lizhui realize that Changgui had not only awakened his spirit root but had awakened a top-grade fire spirit root, a mutated Samadhi True Fire.

And what this kid was thinking was that he can now light fires...
