Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 500

Seeing no one around, Chen Muxue followed the faint, elusive smell of fishiness, a scent she likely wouldn’t have noticed if she weren’t a cat.

Fortunately, the clinic is busy during the day and has no female relatives; this backyard is mostly deserted. Where has Small An gone? Perhaps he’s still learning medicine from that gentleman.

As Chen Muxue passed a room, she sharply noticed many chaotic scratch marks in the corner of the door. Such scratches would probably consume the claws of several cats.

Out of curiosity, Chen Muxue peeked through the crack in the door. Inside the dim room, there were many cages of different sizes, some of which had fur caught in the bamboo slats, but one could not tell which animals they belonged to.

Could it be that the gentleman was secretly conducting a rescue operation for cats and dogs?

But it didn’t seem to be the case. With so many cages, Chen Muxue didn’t hear any sounds of animals moving around.

Though the smell here was quite strong, it wasn’t the faint scent Chen Muxue had detected initially; the smell lacked the accumulation of prolonged vengeance, indicating that someone might clean it regularly.

Chen Muxue shook her head and hurriedly continued to trace the scent, until she reached a dry well.

This well wasn’t dug very deep, and under sunlight, the bottom of the dried-up well could be seen clearly. It had been dry for a long time; the mud at the bottom was baked dry and cracked, as hard as clay.

Just as Chen Muxue thought she’d lost her way, she spotted a footprint that hadn’t been cleanly wiped away at the very edge of the visible well bottom.

Has someone walked through the well bottom?

The depth of this dry well isn’t particularly deep for a well, but for a cat, it’s rather high. Chen Muxue felt that if she jumped down, her recently recovered broken leg would not survive.

That person certainly didn’t jump down here; there must be another entrance...

"Black Cat? Mimi!"

Suddenly, Small An’s voice came. Chen Muxue instantly knew it was calling her, and she turned to run toward Small An.

Seeing Small An again, gone was the earlier hint of melancholy; now, she radiated brightness, as if transformed, brimming with the youthful vigor that should accompany her age in the bright sunlight.

"How did you run off alone? Come here quickly!" Seeing Chen Muxue, Small An immediately squatted down to call her.

Chen Muxue was heading straight toward her when she suddenly remembered she’s a cat. She hesitated, then suddenly turned to play with the grass nearby.

"It really is a cat... I thought it was different." The gentleman’s voice, tinged with humor, came over.

Chen Muxue glanced, thinking to herself, she could act even more like a cat!

After finishing with the grass, Chen Muxue ran to the gentleman, laying down and revealing her belly, her emerald-like eyes suggesting something.

But the gentleman’s gaze naturally followed the cat’s belly down to its rear, where two grape-like orbs made him shake his head: "He needs to be neutered; otherwise, when the time comes, he’ll run away."

Following his gaze, Chen Muxue realized, damn, she forgot the Black Cat is male; this one roll had inadvertently led to such trouble. Black Cat, take care after you enter the Eastern Factory!

Small An reached out to touch Chen Muxue’s belly: "He’s not my cat, so it doesn’t matter."

"You don’t want him?" The gentleman’s tone shifted slightly.
