Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 373
The Emperor couldn’t shake a feeling of familiarity as he looked at Chen Muxue’s features.
Chen Muxue got goosebumps, especially with Yu Yan’s constantly changing expression, her sense of crisis gradually increased.
Seeing the Emperor sizing her up again, she began to suspect, could this sickly Emperor possibly say to her "a resemblance to an old flame"?
"Well, not really. Mainly, as a cultivator, I don’t do much else; I just know how to make chicken soup. Surely, Your Majesty, you can’t be drinking chicken soup all the time, right? Ahaha..." Chen Muxue laughed dryly, hesitated as she noted the expressions around her, "Is it okay to say this?"
"Ah, absolutely," Lin Qing interjected.
Things were not good, seeing the Emperor’s expression, was he planning to claim Miss Chen for himself? Honestly, in this vast Imperial Palace, it’s hard to find anyone with cooking skills as good as Miss Chen’s. Even worse, what if this muddled Emperor wanted to bring Miss Chen into the harem, then! It’s a bit disgusting, hah...
Lin Qing thought to himself, his expression somewhat stiff, with a hint of disdain.
With so many divine skills, it’s impossible for someone like Miss Chen to be manipulated by a mere Emperor. Even in the worst-case scenario, if the Liuyun Sect can’t have Miss Chen, then at least she should guard her own Qian Ding Sect, any other situation is unacceptable, not to others, and certainly not to Lin Qing!
Who knows how the Sect Leader will react when they sense the help talisman; hopefully, they’ll act quickly!
Silently beside him, Chu Wuyi quietly nudged Lin Qing with his elbow, prompting Lin Qing to suppress his increasingly peculiar expression.
"Judging by the young lady’s appearance, she doesn’t want to stay in the Imperial Palace anymore," Yu Yan said deeply, seeing the Emperor’s displeasure.
Chen Muxue slightly frowned.
Even if she racked her brain, she only remembered that in the original book, when Xiao Feng reached the Capital City, this Emperor was already on his last legs. As for any impressive eunuch, there was not even a mention.
"This Imperial Palace is not a place where you can come and go as you please," Yu Yan’s voice grew more sinister, just listening to it gave one goosebumps.
As the atmosphere hardened, Cen Lizhui suddenly smiled slightly: "I heard you’re very curious about my attribute." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Sure enough, everyone’s attention was drawn to him.
Yu Yan’s eyes showed even more surprise.
It is said that Immortal Sect disciples devote themselves to the great path, their entire lives solely for the pursuit of immortality. Yet now, this man is willing to forsake his pride for the sake of a woman?
However, after waiting for a long time, it seemed there was no next move from Cen Lizhui.
"I think you are making things difficult for the servants," Yu Yan squinted, speaking of servants, yet his demeanor matched that of the Emperor.
Faced with the attention from all sides, Cen Lizhui internally felt helpless. He didn’t know how to demonstrate his attribute either; he mainly wanted to divert attention away from Chen Muxue. Who could have guessed that Yu Yan would have some degree of gentlemanly patience, genuinely waiting for him to demonstrate?
Cen Lizhui even thought Yu Yan would attack immediately earlier; he had considered several sets of hand seals.
The Emperor had already finished all the chicken soup. The soup was made from a small chicken the size of half a young hen. The clay pot wasn’t too large either; boiled down, the amount ladled out wasn’t much more than a bowl, really not much, especially since he only ate a few bites of the chicken.
After letting out a satisfied breath, he began to lose his temper again: "I have decided, this young lady will stay in the palace to make soup for me in the future! Yu Yan, take care of it for me!"
After hearing the Emperor’s words, everyone could clearly feel that the current atmosphere was different from any before...
