Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 509
Cen Lizhui held a bowl in his hand...
Chen Muxue squinted and looked for quite some time. She decided to just be honest and stop pretending. Despite her many years as a chef, she couldn’t figure out what the mysterious steaming substance in Cen Lizhui’s bowl was.
She must have gotten it wrong; this couldn’t be porridge. It must be some kind of chemical experiment reagent, definitely.
"You’re awake." Cen Lizhui’s eyes glowed with a bit of joy as he stepped forward with the bowl, "You must be hungry, right? I just cooked some porridge."
He handed the bowl to Chen Muxue, who instinctively took a step back, "Uh, I’ll have to politely decline!"
"Why?" Cen Lizhui’s once smiling face suddenly looked so downcast, holding the bowl of mysterious substance in apparent heartbreak that it was hard not to feel a little sorry for him.
But only a little sorry, as Chen Muxue knew her stomach wasn’t nearly strong enough.
Besides, this thing was definitely some chemical reagent; otherwise, how could it possibly be that even Chen Muxue’s smell couldn’t detect what "ingredients" had been put inside?
"Was it you who put me in the Spiritual Spring?" Chen Muxue saw Cen Lizhui’s persistence and quickly changed the topic.
"Yes, another you appeared and confronted the Black Qi. After it fled, you fainted again. I was afraid your body couldn’t take it, and my Spiritual Energy couldn’t help heal you, thinking that bringing you to the Spiritual Spring might help..."
"Thank you." Chen Muxue said, clearing her throat lightly, "Where are my shoes?"
Cen Lizhui subconsciously glanced at her feet, where the hem of her skirt revealed only the white tops of her feet, with dainty pink toes that somewhat adorable.
Realizing what he was looking at, Cen Lizhui felt flush, thinking of some folk things; folklore is that women shouldn’t casually show their feet to others...
"Here... I don’t think anyone would want to soak with shoes in the water." Cen Lizhui flipped his hand, and a pair of clean, almost glowing embroidered shoes appeared in his hand. He smoothly kneeled and brought the shoes to Chen Muxue’s feet, then looked up at her.
What does that mean, he’s going to put her shoes on?
Chen Muxue was taken aback, wondering if this was some exclusive Immortal Sect guest treatment. Without thinking too much, she raised her foot and slipped into the shoes with his help.
Such clean shoes, clearly the ones she wore earlier, now looked brand new!
Cen Lizhui stood up, habitually pinching his fingers, and the hem of his robe that had touched the ground was immediately spotless, as if new.
He must have forgotten Immortal Sect people have a cleanliness fetish and their exclusive Cleaning Technique.
Chen Muxue’s previously drifting thoughts suddenly settled; she just considered these Immortal Sect guest treatments, except she couldn’t enjoy that chemical potion.
"This Spiritual Spring is quite nice; I feel much better now, thank you." Chen Muxue expressed her gratitude again, very sincerely, mindful that friendship shouldn’t ignore daily courtesies.
Cen Lizhui absentmindedly pinched the corner of his clothes and forced a smile: "You’ve pushed your body so far too many times, I doubt you’ll recover quickly. Why not stay here for a few days, it’s my mountain, no one will disturb you."
"Senior Brother! Who exactly is she!" Xiao Chi couldn’t hold it in any longer, turning back.
It seemed to Chen Muxue that Cen Lizhui’s earlier words echoed in the air, "No one will disturb...will disturb...disturb..."
How awkward.
"Hello, I’m Chen Muxue, the Sect Leader of Qian Ding Sect." Chen Muxue snapped back to reality, not thinking much about it, introducing herself kindly to Xiao Chi.
But Xiao Chi was full of resentment, "What wild small sect like Qian Ding Sect appeared trying to climb up to my Senior Brother!"
