Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 497

Upon hearing this voice, Xiao An calmed down slightly, without even realizing it herself, looking towards the medical center with a touch of anticipation in her gaze.

This piqued Chen Muxue’s curiosity about the newcomer.

A handsome young man dressed in a moon-white long robe stepped out, and upon seeing Xiao An, concern was instantly apparent in his eyes as he said, "Xiao An, what happened?"

"I..." Xiao An held the cat, feeling somewhat embarrassed and uneasy.

The young man glanced down at the injured Black Cat and revealed a gentle smile, "Is it that the cat is severely injured, so you’ve come to find me?"

Xiao An was momentarily at a loss for words about her running away from home, remaining silent.

The young man did not probe further, sensing Xiao An had her reasons for silence, he smiled lightly, "Come in quickly, this cat seems to be in bad shape; quickly treating its injuries is what counts."

Only then did Xiao An notice the cloth on the cat’s hind leg had been soaked red with blood, which had even stained her clothes, immediately forgetting any other concerns, and rushed inside with the cat.

"You’ve handled it quite well, just that the bone wasn’t set right. Fortunately, it hasn’t been long, so it can still be corrected, but it may... hurt a bit."

Now, Chen Muxue was feeling somewhat dazed, seemingly due to excessive blood loss, nearing the state of fainting, yet a force within kept her resisting — the concern for Xiao An’s safety. Even inside the medical center, Chen Muxue dared not relax, she kept her eyes slightly open, feeling the pain of the wound, trying to stay conscious.

But even so, the voices of people talking around her becoming blurred.

In this medical center, she couldn’t relax like she did in Chu Wuxin’s Illusion Realm, in the old lady’s kitchen. For some reason, the warmth that enveloped you upon entering wasn’t there; rather the bitter smell of medicine inexplicably brought a trace of chill.

Is it because the medical center is a place where many experience sickness, and even many die in it, has that made this place less warm?

Chen Muxue only vaguely heard someone say "it may hurt a bit," and the Black Cat’s keen sense of smell noticed a faint scent of blood.

Unlike the scent from her own bleeding wound, this was a cold, foul odor like rotting flesh accumulated over years, but it was only faint, casually diffused in the air, almost indiscernible unless one was a cat like Chen Muxue.

Perhaps due to years of treating patients, the scent of blood from external wounds permeated every brick and tile of the medical center over the years, creating such a strange smell.

Suddenly, a searing pain jolted the drowsy Chen Muxue awake, even she couldn’t help but let out a piercing "Meow!"

A crisp sound emanated from the bone, but it did not break; Chen Muxue felt her fractured foreleg could move better.

However, the intense pain was almost making Chen Muxue feel as if her foreleg was being forcibly torn apart, it was supposed to be healing, but why was it so agonizing?

Seeing the cat twitch in pain, Xiao An felt very distressed and comforted, "Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid; it’s my fault for not setting your bone right before, that’s why correcting it hurts now."

The young man maintained a gentle smile, his eyes tender as he looked at Xiao An, "Don’t blame yourself, if it weren’t for you, it would have died long ago."

Xiao An bowed her head slightly, seeming a bit disheartened.

"Did you run away from home?" the young man suddenly asked.
