Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 208

Let’s set aside the affairs of the two Princes for now. Chen Muxue thought she was about to witness a grand household drama, but who knew that the woman would disappear somewhere and then return holding an enormous machete, ready to walk out.

How on earth could her seemingly dry and frail body manage to lift such a huge machete?

Wait, the point is, you think that Liu Hong is a temptress, so you’re just going to grab a knife and chop?!

Chen Muxue was stunned, but the servant reacted quickly: "Madam, calm down, madam!"

"How am I supposed to stay calm?!"

"But Madam, you’re not as agile as she is; you can’t chop her!"

When the woman heard this and thought about it, she realized it was true. So she stopped, lost her strength, and couldn’t hold onto the knife, which fell to the ground with a "clang".

At this moment, another servant arrived from outside.

"Come in." The woman said weakly. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Madam." The servant first bowed to the woman and then turned to Chen Muxue: "Master, someone is questioning why their meals are not being provided."

Chen Muxue was taken aback: "Is this what hostages should be concerned about right now?"

Having said that, she pretended to be very angry and quickly walked out: "I want to see what this hostage is trying to do!"

I have to say, the phrasing by this servant is genius. If she had been a bit slower-minded, she wouldn’t have realized it’s a hostage, not questioning.

A trace of confusion flashed in the woman’s eyes. Watching Chen Muxue’s departing back, she instructed: "Go see who the Master caught. The Fifth Prince has been restless lately; don’t act rashly and ruin things."

"Yes." The servant respectfully withdrew.

Meanwhile, at the teahouse closest to the Chu Family, the remaining people were waiting idly.

"I have a bad feeling." Changgui couldn’t help but speak up.

"Spit, spit, spit!" Xiaohua quickly patted his arm, making a tone like an old soul, "Innocent words, innocent words!"

Yan Luan entered and immediately heard this cute child’s voice, which made her cover her mouth and chuckle: "Oh, whose adorable little treasure could this be?"

She swayed gracefully as she walked, and everyone was somewhat puzzled.

After not coming back for several years, has the capital’s customs really become so open-hearted now? Chu Wuyi picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Huo Lian and the Second Prince followed suit. Upon seeing everyone, Huo Lian hurried forward: "Why are you all here?"

"Uh..." Everyone exchanged glances; they couldn’t possibly say they were going to the Chu Family to save a cat, could they?

When Xiaohua saw Huo Lian, she quickly ran forward and hugged his leg: "Boo hoo, Brother Qixi was taken away, Uncle Huo Lian, the Sect Leader went to the Chu Family to rescue him!"

"The Chu Family?" Huo Lian frowned. They had indeed followed Qixi to this tea house, but didn’t expect Qixi to be at the Chu Family.

This makes it a bit complicated...

Cen Lizhui watched Xiaohua’s performance, silently put down his teacup, and seeing no one was paying attention to him, he quietly moved back and kicked Qixi’s hand, which was sticking out, behind the screen.

The Second Prince, however, cheerfully patted Xiaohua’s head: "So cute, I should get myself one too."

Yan Luan playfully punched him with her little fist: "Oh, you’re so annoying~ I don’t want to become a mother this early~"

The Second Prince felt a sweet taste at the back of his throat; it’s indeed inappropriate right now, just with this strength, a small baby couldn’t withstand it.

"Who took Qixi? How did he end up at the Chu Family?" Chu Wuyi couldn’t help but ask.

"Your friends are all so easygoing; they show no reaction upon seeing me, the Prince." The Second Prince patted Huo Lian’s shoulder.
