Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 221

"Meow?"

As Chu Wuyun exploded in rage, a very familiar black cat passing by was startled by her shout.

"Black Cat!" Lin Qing couldn’t help but point at the cat and shout.

The black cat cried out more fearfully and vanished in an instant.

Huo Lian frowned slightly. If he remembered correctly, the reason Miss Chen and her group came to the Chu Family was to rescue that black cat, wasn’t it?

But why did the black cat seem to flee in terror rather than approach after seeing them?

Lin Qing also found it quite mysterious because the black cat wasn’t an ordinary cat. From the amount of spiritual power it showed earlier, it could already be considered a cat demon. Though not yet in human form, it had almost human-like comprehension ability.

The spiritual energy aura of the black cat just now was unmistakable. It definitely was the black cat belonging to Little Flower. But why did it flee upon meeting them?

Although Chen Muxue was not easily recognizable under the cloak, both Lin Qing and Huo Lian were here, making the situation incomprehensible.

Chu Wuyun sneered, a look of distaste on her face: "What kind of beast is this? So ominous..." Right as she was about to finish, she seemed to recall the persona she had crafted for herself and changed her tone.

"Perhaps this ominous pure black stray cat is drawn to my unique aura?" Chu Wuyun tried hard to appear mysterious, little knowing that others found her claim amusing.

Lin Qing was utterly speechless internally. How did he end up dealing with such a bothersome young lady? If she loved darkness and mystery so much, why not go cultivate some sinister paths? He couldn’t believe the Chu Family couldn’t produce even a single sinister path follower.

"Sir, let’s go quickly," the servant whispered urgently to Chen Muxue as Chu Wuyun’s attention was diverted.

The servant planned to sneak away with Chen Muxue, but Huo Lian noticed in time and cleared his throat: "I have old ties with you, sir; would you honor me by letting us catch up?"

Chen Muxue feigned difficulty in choosing sides: "Uh, well..."

"What’s the point of reminiscing with a sick eunuch? Bing You, hurry and... escort him to somewhere else, lest others catch his red-eye." Chu Wuyun dismissively waved her hand, clearly not considering the servant of the Fourth Madam important and uninterested in having an extra eunuch around during her time with Huo Lian.

Having Huo’s servant was handi enough. If not for the fact that particular servant had some good looks, she would have kicked him out too.

Hmph, if it weren’t a eunuch from the Prince’s side, she would have had Bing You throw him out with a broom already, sending him to some secluded place to stay out of the way. Alas, she was too merciful.

Bing You, the servant next to Chu Wuyun, advanced in response and forcefully pushed the Fourth Madam’s servant aside, carrying a slight look of disdain: "Please, sir."

Chen Muxue noticed the direction Bing You pointed out, feeling a stir in her heart as she complied and walked, leaving the Fourth Madam’s servant gritting his teeth behind.

This Miss Seventh is utterly arrogant! When the Fifth Prince ascends, and our Fourth Master becomes the family pillar... ha!

Only the Fourth Master is esteemed, while the Sixth Prince is merely the son of an Imperial Concubine. How could he ever ascend? The Fifth Prince and the ailing Crown Prince both come from the Empress, and the Empress still sits firmly in that position. How could she let the throne fall to the son of an Imperial Concubine?

Finally, having dispensed with the nuisances, Chu Wuyun contentedly walked beside Huo Lian: "Young Master Huo, our Chu Family mansion ranks among the finest in the Capital City, with gardens and lakes that showcase absolutely stunning scenery. Where would you like to see?"

Huo Lian felt a slight unease in his mind as he suddenly stopped, slight frown furrowing his brows.

"What’s wrong, Young Master Huo?" Chu Wuyun leaned very close to Huo Lian, almost holding onto his arm.

"Alas, I originally thought that a family capable of nurturing a wondrous figure like Miss Seventh would naturally possess unique wonders that others lack. Alas, what a journey just to see more of the same," Huo Lian sighed and shook his head.

Hearing him praise her as a wondrous figure, Chu Wuyun was filled with pride. She had attended many banquets with countless similar misses from prestigious families, all similar in demeanor, dressing in pinks, pale yellows, and light blues—Huo Lian must be tired of it.

Suddenly encountering someone as dark and mysterious as her, Young Master Huo might not show it, but his heart must be pounding with excitement?

She couldn’t let him be disappointed. Indeed, the scenery of her home was similar to other prominent families in the Capital City. Crafted landscapes were all similar...

However, there was a place in her Chu Family home that, like her, was full of mystery and taboo, a place that no other house had!

Chu Wuyun immediately knew where she wanted to take Huo Lian. Conveniently, she only brought Bing You out today, and now that Bing You has left, she was alone with Young Master Huo...

Aside from that annoying servant, tut.

But it didn’t matter. Huo’s servant couldn’t run to her father and tattle like family servants could.

Thus, Chu Wuyun gave a cunning smile: "Young Master Huo, you’re mistaken. My Chu Family has a place as mysterious as I am!"

With that, she led the two of them to turn and head in a direction.

Unexpectedly, it was the same direction where Bing You had just escorted Chen Muxue.

Within Bing You’s guidance, Chen Muxue observed the surroundings, striving to match everything with what she had seen in the copper mirror.

It seemed Bing You indeed intended to lead her to the most secluded spot. Nevertheless, its end seemed to conveniently be that forbidden area...

"Your name is Bing You? Young Miss Seventh named you, didn’t she?" Chen Muxue started small talk, unobtrusively taking a sharp turn with Bing You.

Yes, this path was correct.

Bing You was briefly stunned, thinking it wouldn’t do to be too harsh with a eunuch, and so she replied: "Miss changed my name two years ago."

Chen Muxue tutted twice. Renamed after "turning dark two years ago," wasn’t it? Nice, the name could be changed back and forth too. Who doesn’t have some embarrassing history?

Back when she was going through her own "teen phase," she could only post cringe-worthy things on her Q-zone like "If you break my wings, I’ll blow up your heaven." Years later, she would retrospectively delete those posts. This kid has a servant to play along with, lucky her.

Unintentionally, Bing You found herself almost escorting someone to an unexpected location, quickly turning to change direction when, with a "thud," she blacked out.

Chen Muxue weighed the oven-box-shaped iron pot in her hand, remarked in surprise, "Oh, you make different sounds when knocked in various forms!"
