Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 222

At last, she took off the somewhat stifling cloak, tossing the iron pot into the air. It spun and transformed into its most common shape once more, and Chen Muxue let out a sigh of relief as she slung it back over her shoulder.

"That’s more like it." Chen Muxue disdainfully kicked the cloak on the ground, then blinked and had a sudden idea. She put the cloak on the unconscious Bing You, using her foot to measure it out.

After stamping a conspicuous large footprint on the hood of the cloak, she firmly secured it onto Bing You.

Now, those who found her afterward would wonder, who has such long legs to kick someone’s head from above? They must have knocked her out cold with one kick!

Chen Muxue cautiously circled around following the route remembered from the Black Cat, reaching the spot from where she could glimpse the forbidden area’s wall. Not far away, the sound of synchronized footsteps approached, and she looked around, shrinking back somewhat panicked.

A squad of Chu Family guards patrolled past, at one point only separated from Chen Muxue by a single wall.

The iron pot trembled slightly.

It seemed to block some kind of signal in that instant.

The squad had only taken a few steps when they suddenly halted.

Chen Muxue’s heart tightened. Had she been discovered after all?

"Seventh Miss, please don’t go any further."

Chu Wuyun’s voice came forward: "Why not? I’m in my own home; is there anywhere I can’t go?"

"Seventh Miss, you’re putting us in a difficult position."

"You needn’t concern yourself with me. I’m just wandering nearby, not going inside. Rest assured!"

The lead guard thought to himself, if he could rest assured, he wouldn’t have stopped to speak to her.

This Seventh Miss had attempted to sneak into the forbidden area many times, each time caught and dragged back, yet she remained unrepentant. This time, she even brought an outsider. What are her intentions?

The last person who sneaked into the forbidden area resulted in the most important vessel being stolen. Most of the guards were replaced afterward, and the fate of those people... best not to think about it.

He didn’t want to become one of them.

The leader signaled the others to continue patrolling while he stayed behind: "Seventh Miss, please return. If the old master inquires later, it won’t end well for you."

"If you don’t tell, wouldn’t nobody know? I’m just going in to take a look; I won’t disturb those women. Those women are disgusting to look at anyway. Don’t you know me?" Chu Wuyun said, a rebellious tone in her voice when mentioning those women. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Chen Muxue listened to her words with disgust. If she understood correctly, the "disgusting women" Chu Wuyun referred to were the same daughters of the Chu Family as she was.

Chu Wuxin was once one of them. These children, who should have been pampered like Chu Wuyun, born with silver spoons, were caged birds simply because of their fate.

"If Seventh Miss insists on not leaving, we will have to take action."

Huo Lian laughed, "No need to fret, brother. Seventh Miss is a bit headstrong, but not to the point of force. Seventh Miss, we should go. Although... sigh, for your own good, let’s drop it."

Chu Wuyun apparently fell for this trick immediately, glaring at the leader: "What do you mean?! Who do you think you are? Just a dog raised by the Chu Family! And now, as the lead dog, you dare bark at the master?"

The leader was enraged at her words. Although he was indeed a Chu Family guard and had signed a contract, a guard’s status was different from a servant’s. With his rather impressive cultivation, it wasn’t one of servitude but another type of contract. Now, being scolded by an ignorant girl pointing at his face?
