Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 435: Returning to the Chu Family

Chen Muxue and Cen Lizhui walked over, comforting Chu Wuyi by patting his shoulder.

"You’ve been dead to them for so long, and now you suddenly show up, it’s understandable that they’d be frightened away," Chen Muxue consoled.

In Chu Wuyi’s heart: Thank you, it doesn’t really feel comforting.

"Why does it feel like the Chu Family’s defenses aren’t as good as before?" Cen Lizhui suddenly remarked.

At his words, the other two then looked at the Chu Family’s walls, indeed getting a sense that it would be easy to climb over them, with no deterrence of any restrictions or pressure of guards.

"It might be a trap," Chu Wuyi said cautiously.

Chen Muxue looked around, then suddenly ran off.

The two remaining people were dazed for a moment, then saw Chen Muxue holding the tip of the tail of a lively big gray rat that was frantically shaking its body, trying to bite Chen Muxue, but never succeeding.

Chen Muxue flashed a bright smile at the two men who were already stunned, "Randomly caught a lucky rat."

After speaking, they saw her swing the rat in her hand in a big circle and threw it over the Chu Family’s wall.

Aside from the "squeak" the rat made when it landed, nothing happened, and they seemed to hear the sound of the rat beginning to explore the area after recovering its composure.

The three exchanged glances, then also climbed over the wall.

After entering, the three felt something was amiss. Previously, although the garden seemed withered and there weren’t many people moving about the Chu Family, giving it a bleak feeling, other places were still quite ordinary. Now, once inside the Chu Family, they only felt a breath of death.

This was a deathly stillness in every aspect, inside and out.

"How could the Chu Family become like this in such a short time?" Chu Wuyi was the first to question, but unfortunately, no one present could answer him.

Compared to people, crows seemed to be more everywhere, perched on the bare branches watching the trespassing three, as if they were the true masters of this vast Chu Family, overseeing the intruders.

The occasional cawing of crows, sometimes far, sometimes near, added a few eerie layers to the already gray scene of the Chu Family. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Could it be the work of the Black Qi?"

Cen Lizhui shook his head upon hearing this, just as he was about to say the Black Qi shouldn’t have this capability, he turned his head and saw Chen Muxue looking extraordinarily excited, her eyes even sparkling, leaving him somewhat stunned.

No, at this time shouldn’t she be scared to death, then...

Chen Muxue looked around the environment, apart from excitement, she felt a little regret, this place was still lacking atmosphere, without visible flesh and blood everywhere, it just wouldn’t work.

In her past life, she had played large horror games like "Layers of Fear," "Outlast," and "Resident Evil," never thinking she’d experience such a spooky environment in real life today. The iron pan in Chen Muxue’s hand was already impatient.

In many horror games, during chase sequences, she could only be pursued by ghosts, with her control character unable to fight back, which always made Chen Muxue feel aggrieved. She wondered what kind of enemy they’d face this time, whether human or ghost. The iron pan even sensed Chen Muxue’s excitement, trembling slightly in cooperation despite not understanding why.

"In any case, let’s head to the forbidden area and find my sister first," Chu Wuyi didn’t ponder too long. The current state of the Chu Family was no longer significant to him. Even if he revealed his identity, he wouldn’t want to return to this place saturated with decay.
