Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 396
When Lin Qing and the woman returned to the room again, they found it empty and were stunned.
"Where... where did she go?" the woman asked, dumbfounded.
Lin Qing shook his head in a daze as well, "I don’t know... Just now, wasn’t she still meditating and cultivating here? She’s in such pain, could she have run off?"
While the two were staring blankly at the empty room, over there, Chen Muxue was moving swiftly... oh no, she was actually flying.
Chen Muxue seemed able to ignore the restrictions of the Imperial Palace directly, not to mention the Capital City. She rode the clouds and mist, yet arrived at the Huo Family’s Villa.
"To think I can stay long at the Huo Family’s Villa at this time, it seems in this lifetime, I’m doing quite well. But I don’t know how I reached the Nascent Soul Realm in such a short time under such poor conditions. I even managed to avoid that catastrophe back then," Chen Muxue murmured to herself, flying directly into her own residence within the villa.
Without hesitation, she walked to the bedside, looked at the little flower’s face burning red, and shook her head, "How nostalgic, such a small little flower... But also really too weak, as expected, unable to even absorb the small Wu Xin."
Chen Muxue took out the Jade Pendant from her bosom, the Holy Object of the Shui Family: "Being able to keep this item also saved me some effort. ’I’ was quite smart after all, but only had the strength after escaping Xiao Feng’s catastrophe. Back then, my limbs were all disabled, with only little flower by my side. What could a child do? She could only pawn the treasure... Unfortunately, people bullied her ignorance and only gave her five ounces of silver."
Recalling various past events of her previous life, a hint of emotion finally flickered in Chen Muxue’s eyes.
She doesn’t share the memories of this life with her current self, but she could see that her current self kept little flower by her side, even sleeping in the same room, clearly showing that even living anew, she had an inexplicable fondness for little flower.
Perhaps this self was subconsciously moved by little flower’s steadfast loyalty in the past life.
Chen Muxue stopped thinking further, activated the Jade Pendant, channeling the malevolent spiritual power into the pendant, which was then outputted in an even more eerie force into little flower’s body.
This kind of power seemed to be a form of torture for little flower, who, whether asleep or unconscious, still began to struggle unconsciously, murmuring, "Sect Leader..."
Chen Muxue was somewhat absent-minded, recalling how little flower had cried "Sect Leader" when she was taken by Xiao Feng back then. They had formed their own Qian Ding Sect, which was indeed quite laughable.
"Who—the Sect Leader?"
The sudden intrusion of a youth pulled Chen Muxue’s thoughts back. Her hand didn’t stop moving as she turned her head following the voice, only to find a rather unfamiliar youth.
Decades had passed, and the once-childish face had blurred into a mush in her mind. At that time, recalling would only bring back a scene of bloody carnage, like a purgatory, so she simply stopped remembering.
But when that blurry child’s face matured a bit and reappeared clearly and vividly in front of her, even this Chen Muxue couldn’t help but be stunned.
"The Sect Leader is..." Xiao Hu looked at the black qi emanating from Chen Muxue’s hand in astonishment, several guesses flashed through his mind in an instant. Seeing little flower’s apparent discomfort under the influence of that power, his confusion only grew.
But Chen Muxue had no interest in explaining further. Having lived alone with little flower for years, naturally, she wasn’t good with words, and after the calamity, she became even more reclusive. So, she wasn’t used to communicating with others, especially when the other party wasn’t an enemy, which happened very rarely.
