Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 223:

This he could not endure, the leader immediately stepped forward and grabbed Chu Wuyun by the collar, lifting her up and walking to the other side.

Chu Wuyun, oppressed by his height, kicked fruitlessly in the air, screaming: "Let me go! How dare you! When I tell my dad, you’ll regret it!"

The leader glanced back to see Huo Lian and Lin Qing wisely following behind him, showing no signs of running away. He thought to himself, these two guests were at least sensible.

As he walked over, Chen Muxue cautiously turned the corner from the other side, forming a situation akin to King Qin circling the pillar. Huo Lian, behind the leader, caught a glimpse of Chen Muxue’s skirt corner as she turned and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Miss Seven, please refrain from running around. This is not a place for games." The leader casually tossed Chu Wuyun outside, and she fell to the ground with no dignity.

How embarrassing, in front of Young Master Huo!

Chu Wuyun, both angry and annoyed, blushed fiercely and glared at the leader with hatred: "How dare you! Fine, I’ll go find my father right now. Let’s see how smug you can be then! I’m telling you, you’ve crossed the wrong master!"

After speaking, she seemed afraid of seeing Huo Lian’s expression, covered her face, and hurried away.

"I’m truly sorry you had to witness this scene." Huo Lian watched as the leader turned and extended a respectful gesture. "It’s just that the Chu residence is vast. Big Brother, could you kindly lead my servant and me out, or we might accidentally wander somewhere inappropriate and that would be impolite."

Huo Lian’s frequent address of "Big Brother" greatly pleased the leader.

The leader thought, it was true, although apart from the forbidden area there wasn’t much to be concerned about. Still, this young master was, after all, a man, and if he accidentally strayed into the back courtyard, it would be quite hard to explain.

Why didn’t Miss Seven bring a servant along?

Indeed, if there had been a servant present, she wouldn’t have approached this area, much less brought outsiders along. How unreliable could a servant be?

Luckily, the unconscious Bing You couldn’t hear his internal monologue.

The leader laughed heartily: "My apologies for the scene, follow me."

In truth, with Huo Lian and Lin Qing’s memory, they wouldn’t forget the way out so easily. However, the leader, being part of the patrol team, created an opportunity to have him temporarily fall behind, hoping it might help Miss Chen a bit.

"Is it too dangerous to leave Miss Chen alone in the Chu residence?" Lin Qing whispered.

Huo Lian shook his head with a smile: "Do you really think the Immortal Sect would let her just run in here unsupervised?"

Chen Muxue sneakily crept around. Perhaps due to Chu Wuyun’s delay, or maybe some logistical error without the leader, she hadn’t encountered the patrol team.

However, the remarkably high walls and the guards at the entrance were indeed bothersome.

She hadn’t thought for long when the footsteps of the patrol team neared once more.

"I put a bead in your hand, throw it in front of the guard."

The sudden voice nearly caused Chen Muxue to jump out of her skin.

She finally understood the Black Cat’s fur-bristling fright.

Chen Muxue looked and saw a tiny Thousand Paper Crane stick its head out of her sleeve, attempting to push something out with its paper wings.

Chen Muxue touched it, finding a purple bead with familiar-looking Black Qi swirling inside, though the Black Qi appeared ethereal, as if it would disperse with a breath of wind.

If Chen Muxue had seen the bead that Flower had originally picked up in the kitchen, she would have found this bead very familiar.
