Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 417

Who is this person I haven’t seen before?

Chen Muxue observed the middle-aged man at the top seat, and could see a few similarities to Huo Lian in his features. However, this was the Huo Family, and they were all somewhat related, so it wasn’t unusual for them to look alike. As such, Chen Muxue couldn’t immediately determine that this was Huo Lian’s father.

"Are you Chen Muxue, Miss Chen?" the man spoke, his voice carrying some authority, yet lacking in strength. Doing business in Elixirs but not maintaining one’s health properly was not good for reputation.

Chen Muxue glanced at the man’s protruding belly but didn’t show much expression, responding, "That’s right, and you are?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Fat grandpa looks like Uncle Huo Lian."

Before Master Huo could speak, Xiaohua whispered to Chen Muxue in what she believed was a low voice.

Due to her height difference with Chen Muxue, Xiaohua worried that speaking too softly might cause Chen Muxue to not hear her, so her whisper entered Master Huo’s ears.

Master Huo’s face turned unpleasant upon hearing "fat" and "grandpa."

This Miss Chen appears quite attractive, but how could the girl beside her speak so inappropriately? Such a girl might struggle to fulfill the role of Huo Family’s head mistress.

Chen Muxue’s expression remained unchanged, as if she hadn’t heard Xiaohua’s words. She harbored no thoughts about Huo Lian, and considering Huo Lian’s choice of business demeanor, in her mind, they were on separate paths, merely taking mutual benefits. Therefore, facing someone seemingly a senior of Huo Lian, she entertained no extra thoughts, seeing him simply as an elder.

Still, an elder who seemed a bit silly... ahem, is that okay to say?

"I am Chen Muxue, Sect Leader of Qian Ding Sect, may I ask who you are?" Chen Muxue chose her most official social identity, yet still maintained a bit of respect for the elder in front of her.

Master Huo felt uncomfortable upon hearing this harsh introduction. What, does she look down on him, a mortal, because she is a Cultivator? Was there no respect even for a Huo Family elder?

"This is our Master Huo, the father of Young Master Huo," the servant beside him introduced Chen Muxue to Master Huo, clearly thinking that given Chen Muxue’s status, it wasn’t right for Master Huo to personally introduce himself.

Master Huo’s gaze naturally fell on Chen Muxue, his expression subtly darkening.

Understanding this, Chen Muxue put on a face of sudden realization: "Oh, so this is Master Huo! I’ve often heard Young Master Huo talk about you, saying how you are the kindest person, unable to bear the sufferings of the mortal world."

Kind-hearted? Master Huo, who was generally thought to have no virtues, pondered this and felt that the reputation was indeed appealing, he nodded in agreement.

"Oh, I also heard that Young Master Huo mentioned how Changgui could enter the Huo Family Academy without tuition because of your contributions, Master Huo." Chen Muxue looked at Master Huo with eyes sparkling.

Chen Muxue’s appearance was indeed fine. Though she usually dressed plainly and carried an iron pot, making it hard for others to notice her beauty, now from Master Huo’s perspective, her expression was like that of a fair and pitiful girl full of admiration for him, which greatly pleased Master Huo.

"Ah, it’s a pity..." Just as Master Huo was indulging himself in pride, Chen Muxue changed her tone.
