Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 98: Behind the Back

The focus should have been on the spiritual medicines on stage, but since Chen Muxue came downstairs, the atmosphere seemed to shift a bit.

Coming down from upstairs, who is this person? Or what is her relationship with Huo Gongzi?

Numerous eyes scrutinized her. Today, many cultivators weren’t staying at the same inn as Chen Muxue. Some had just arrived today, so not everyone knew who Chen Muxue was.

Seeing her newly achieved Core Formation cultivation and her beauty, some directly guessed that she was the concubine that Huo Gongzi fancies.

Although Huo Gongzi hasn’t been rumored to be promiscuous, coming from a respected mortal family, who knows if he might actually be?

But some quickly dismissed this possibility, as the Huo family’s wealth is well-known. News like Chen Muxue’s old clothes, not to mention the ordinary fabric, and carrying a large wok behind her, made it impossible for her to be a possible concubine of the Huo family, let alone a famous courtesan.

Did Huo Gongzi forcibly seize a peasant girl? Surely not!

Some female cultivators considered their looks not inferior to hers. Seeing Chen Muxue’s cheap clothing and rustic demeanor, they pondered over the possibility that perhaps Huo Gongzi’s tastes had changed due to his illustrious background, becoming peculiarly inclined towards beautiful village women?

No, possessing a top-grade Spirit Root, she shouldn’t be just an ordinary village woman.

Speculation ran wild without conclusion, and while the crowd debated, someone from the same inn as Chen Muxue spoke up, and everyone finally understood.

Oh~ the Sect Leader of the Qian Ding Sect!

But what kind of sect is the Qian Ding Sect?

Nobody dared to ask this question outright. Being able to descend after Huo Gongzi, she mustn’t belong to any obscure sect, right? Asking would reveal one’s ignorance.

"Hmph, she managed to charm Huo Gongzi with mere beauty and previously used her culinary skills to charm the Sixth Elder of the Liuyun Sect and his Inner Chamber Disciple, Lin Qing. Unexpectedly, a small sect produced a seductress!"

"Senior Sister, aren’t you being a bit too showy?" Jiang He tugged at Wang Yue’s sleeve, blinking.

Wang Yue snorted coldly: "There are so many people here, can they tell it’s me?"

"But Senior Sister, she just walked up next to you."

Wang Yue turned her head abruptly, meeting Chen Muxue’s teasing eyes, and she jumped back in fright.

Then she recalled why she should be afraid of her? Her uncle is nearby, with so many people here, could she even do anything to her?

Originally nothing but a sleazy seductress, is it not allowed for people to talk?

She just couldn’t understand why Huo Gongzi would favor Chen Muxue. After thinking about it, she could only conclude that Huo Gongzi was bewitched by Chen Muxue’s looks.

Not that Chen Muxue is exceptionally pretty, just slightly better-looking than average, still, she was lower compared to Wang Yue.

With this thought, Wang Yue threw Chen Muxue a disdainful look.

"Alright, you can talk bad now." Chen Muxue walked up to Wang Yue, turned her back towards her, and said.

Wang Yue frowned: "Are you sick!"

"Don’t you like talking bad about people behind their backs? Why, now that you’re directly behind me, you’re silent?" Chen Muxue raised her voice a bit, causing those already secretly watching to unconsciously focus their gaze.

"Lunatic!" Unable to endure the bizarre stares from the crowd, Wang Yue flushed, stamped her foot, and fled.

"Sect Leader is amazing!" Xiaohua hugged Chen Muxue’s leg, looked up admiringly.

Chen Muxue shrugged and continued her search for a place.
