Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 501

"I can’t provide him a stable life, and besides, after wandering for so long, he’s probably used to life in the wild. Now he’s injured, and has no choice but to find shelter. Who’s to say he would want to stay by my side?" Xiaoan said, inexplicably feeling a bit lost.

Chen Muxue initially planned to act like a real cat, turning over to show her belly, seemingly inviting a pet, but actually ready to scratch if someone reached out. However, with Xiaoan’s words, she couldn’t bring herself to lay a claw on him.

Allowing Xiaoan to rub her belly, after a while, Chen Muxue finally couldn’t resist pulling away from Xiaoan’s hand that wouldn’t stop, and rolled back over.

This little girl just keeps petting without end. Right now, she is the cat lord, how could she let a mere servant have their way? Allowing a bit of petting was already a benevolence!

Chen Muxue, like a true Black Cat, haughtily raised her head. No wonder Black Cats liked this posture, it really made her feel mighty... cough.

"So you’re planning to release him then..."

The change in the gentleman’s tone wasn’t too obvious, but as a cat now, Chen Muxue had a different way of detecting human emotions and hormonal changes, and she suddenly heightened her vigilance.

She moved closer to Xiaoan, this gentleman was definitely hiding something.

However, Xiaoan was completely oblivious, she merely picked up Chen Muxue, her eyes showing some reluctance: "Did you hear that, Little Black? Though I hope you recover soon, once you do, we must part ways... It’s a pity, if only I met you when I was stable, I would surely keep you by my side..."

Chen Muxue shouted in her heart: I can, I’m not afraid! Take me in!

But all she could do was meow a few times.

Since Xiaoan met the gentleman from the clinic, this Illusion Realm had inexplicably stabilized, everything seemed normal for days, making Chen Muxue feel uneasy, as if it were the calm before a storm.

The wounds on Chen Muxue’s body healed day by day, she didn’t know whether it was because of the Black Cat’s inherent talent, or the fact that she was in the Illusion Realm, but the healing speed exceeded her imagination.

Soon, the wounds on Chen Muxue were almost fully healed, only a faint layer of fur had started to regrow at the scars, looking somewhat amusing.

That day, Chen Muxue, as usual, had just fallen asleep when the noise from the cage woke her up.

She hid in the darkness, vigilantly keeping her eyes on the cage.

She wouldn’t take that cage as her own den. Although these days were tranquil, this was inside the Illusion Realm, and based on her experiences in Chu Wuxin’s illusions, combined with Xiaoan’s previous encounter with ’back-leaning ghosts’, Chen Muxue wouldn’t believe this realm was safe enough for her to sleep securely in a cage.

"Quite clever indeed..."

For some reason, the light from the oil lamp the gentleman lit was a ghastly white, somewhat like the lanterns they saw along the street the night Xiaoan wandered outside.

The room was sparsely furnished, leaving almost no blind spots. As Chen Muxue tried to hide in the shadows, she quickly realized the spots where she had been injured emitted a faint glow.

"I wonder if a clever Black Cat like you has a mind different from other cats?" The gentleman’s voice maintained its gentle tone, and his approach toward Chen Muxue was unhurried, as if victory was assured.

Chen Muxue crouched down, and just when the gentleman thought she had no way to escape, she used an immense burst of strength to dash right between his legs, even ripping a part of his long robe.

"You still have strength?" The gentleman’s voice carried a hint of surprise.
