Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 428

"Why... why did you leave the Imperial Palace without saying a word?" Cen Lizhui asked gently.

Chen Muxue was taken aback: "Wasn’t it you who sent me out?"

With the conflicting information on both sides, everyone fell silent.

Cen Lizhui’s gaze shifted slightly; he glanced at a few children and Chu Wuyi, deeply feeling that now was not the right time to talk about the Summoning God Technique. Chen Muxue probably wouldn’t want others to know she could use such a Forbidden Technique, so he just tugged Chen Muxue’s sleeve, pulling her to his side, and whispered, "We’ll talk about this privately later."

Chen Muxue was a bit dazed, only sensing his warm breath brushing over her head, but hearing his serious tone, she subconsciously nodded without understanding.

"By the way." Chen Muxue came to her senses and looked at Chu Wuyi, "The Elixir has taken shape initially, but... Huo Lian and I may not get along, and besides, Changgui is no longer a concern for me."

Cen Lizhui and Chu Wuyi’s eyes both flashed with confusion, but Cen Lizhui did not ask further. Chen Muxue’s actions often seemed unreliable, but they actually had reasons. Moreover, she wouldn’t joke about matters concerning the children, and since she mentioned not getting along with Huo Lian, this indicated that Changgui must have done something excessive together with Huo Lian in this matter.

Chu Wuyi internally didn’t consider himself one of Chen Muxue’s people, especially regarding private matters, he wouldn’t inquire further. He simply nodded slightly and asked, "Then how’s this Elixir? Will they continue to provide it in the future?"

Chen Muxue snorted, "This medicine, its effect is pretty average. I’ll improve it. As for them, it’s no longer needed."

After buying some medicinal materials and returning to the Huo Family’s Villa, a frown appeared on Xiaohua’s face, as it seemed anything related to the "Huo" word was no good for her. This place felt a bit unsettling to her.

She didn’t call Changgui ’brother’ because she considered Changgui as a playmate, someone at the same level with whom she’s actually more intimate than a brother. Now, in just a brief moment, Changgui suddenly became a strange existence, which was hard for Xiaohua’s young heart to accept.

Xiaohu and Changfu didn’t show much. As soon as Changfu returned to the villa, he threw himself into the garden, seemingly harvesting things he had previously planted. Meanwhile, Xiaohu quietly started cleaning the kitchen, as if waiting to light a fire for Chen Muxue.

Cen Lizhui also became concerned about Chen Muxue. The children, whom she painstakingly rescued and raised, went off with someone during a trip. Chen Muxue must feel upset.

Chen Muxue didn’t feel anything much. Instead, Cen Lizhui’s unblinking gaze made her a little uneasy: "What are you doing?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Today’s wind is very noisy," Cen Lizhui instantly turned his head to look out the window.

Unfortunately, not a single strand of hair moved, and today’s oppressive weather was unwilling to offer even a hint of breeze.

A bit awkward.

Chen Muxue almost scraped a new villa out of the Huo Family with her toes. She coughed lightly, "Help me with Alchemy."

"You know Alchemy?" Cen Lizhui’s eyes revealed undisguised surprise. He knew very well that if it were cooking Chen Muxue was referring to, she would definitely not term it as Alchemy. Her current mention of Alchemy was absolutely what he perceived as Alchemy.

Seeing Chen Muxue’s face darken, Cen Lizhui promptly added, "With your exquisite and peculiar culinary skills, the meals you prepare are indistinguishable from Elixir, yet you actually know Alchemy, it’s really... really..."

Cen Lizhui’s mind raced, yet he couldn’t come up with a suitable adjective in that moment; he screamed for help internally!
