Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 194

In a hot pan with oil, one by one, the marinated shrimps are fried until they turn golden and crispy, their aroma instantly wafting out.

For someone like Lan Xin, who has been dieting perpetually, the rich aroma of heavy oil is extremely tempting. Her stomach growled, and her face flushed red.

Impossible, she distinctly had a meal today, so why is she hungry again?

Scoop out the fried shrimps, leaving some oil in the pan. Add garlic to the shrimp-flavored oil and stir-fry until fragrant.

Pour in the fried shrimp, salt and pepper, and scallions. Stir-fry until even, and it’s ready to serve. Besides the time-consuming shrimp preparation, this dish can be considered a quick one.

The salty aroma of salt and pepper, ignited by the heat, is instantly released. The shrimp is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Forget the shrimp shells—even the shrimp heads can be chewed and swallowed. The shells are even crispier and more fragrant than the meat.

Such deliciousness doesn’t even need to be served—Chen Muxue could devour the entire plate as a snack.

Chen Muxue slapped away the dirty hand creeping up along the edge: "Wash your hands before you eat. I’ll stir-fry some greens and make a soup. Do you have rice?"

Lan Xin, her mind dizzy with the enticing aroma, replied with a befuddled "Huh?", shook her head, and then refocused, realizing Chen Muxue was talking to her: "Yes, the main kitchen does."

Dammit, why does this woman’s cooking smell so good and look so tantalizingly golden and crispy?

She thought cultivators didn’t enjoy food!

As a family servant of the Huo Family, naturally, she had eaten the masters’ food countless times; most were leftovers from madams and concubines without spirit roots, or the young masters who hadn’t given up on mouth cravings yet. There was never a dish like this!

Fried shrimp with so much oil could taste this good? The masters eat shrimp steamed or boiled, and at most, the young ones can dip it in soy sauce, and even that is frowned upon. But she not only fries it but also adds so much salt and pepper!

Though it was just salt and pepper, the amount of salt used here is enough for a whole table of one concubine’s dishes!

Lan Xin had never smelled anything so fragrant. Her stomach started protesting madly, grumbling nonstop.

Today, she had boiled cabbage with half a bun. She even reprimanded herself for that half bun, feeling she had eaten too much.

If she ate a little less, maybe she could feel more spiritual energy and be closer to the eldest young master?

But this cultivator in front of her!

After finishing the dish, seeing the small bowl of rice the servant brought, Chen Muxue paused, then went to the main kitchen and brought back a bucket of white rice. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Filling a big bowl full, Chen Muxue called to the kids: "Take bigger bites of food with more rice. That main kitchen doesn’t even have pickled vegetables, no wonder the salt-and-pepper jar was full when I used it."

Though there were plenty of seasonings, there were no signs of usage. She even doubted the expiration dates, but since they all looked fine, she didn’t bother much.

Lan Xin watched, eyes wide, as the girl, who was supposedly the sect leader of some sect, ate rice with the kids in big mouthfuls, feeling her long-held worldview crumble.

She felt a bit dizzy, leaning against the wall: "Miss, I’m sorry, I feel a bit unwell. Can I go outside for some fresh air?"

Chen Muxue looked up: "Ah, why are you still here?"

Lan Xin felt even dizzier, turned, and ran outside, gasping for air. She can’t watch anymore—the more she watches, the hungrier she gets!

This woman, vulgar, so vulgar! Does the eldest young master know about her behavior? No, the eldest young master must be deceived. She has to tell him!
