Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 456

Lin Qing held the frantically struggling Black Cat in his hand, and when he saw Chen Muxue, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Lin Qing? You came too?" Chen Muxue patted her chest, seemingly relieved.

She actually wasn’t someone who adapted well to changes, so a small team with familiar faces always made her feel at ease.

Cen Lizhui saw Chen Muxue relax, and the suppressed feeling in his heart became increasingly hard to control. He took a few deep breaths to steady himself, staring at Lin Qing in front of him: "Why are you here too?"

Lin Qing raised the Black Cat a little to show everyone: "My master and I were thoroughly investigating matters between the Emperor and the Crown Prince in the Imperial Palace, but suddenly, there was a mutation in the underground altar within the palace. Even the Immortal Supervision Bureau’s people couldn’t trace it, yet I saw this Black Cat appearing around there and found it familiar, so I followed, and it really was him."

"I always thought all black cats looked the same, but once you’re familiar with them, you can really tell them apart." Saying this, Lin Qing scratched his head sheepishly. "It was presumptuous of me, but apart from being related to the underground altar, I thought if the Immortal Supervision Bureau could turn the Black Cat back and return him to Little Flower, it would make Little Flower happy too..."

Saying this, Lin Qing inadvertently glanced at Chen Muxue.

Cen Lizhui’s eyes darkened again, his gaze moved to the Black Cat as if sensing some danger. The Black Cat gradually stopped struggling, cautiously eyeing Cen Lizhui with its emerald eyes.

"By the way, are you here because you’ve created something to expel the Black Qi?" Seeing the Black Cat no longer struggle, Lin Qing relaxed a bit, attempting to hold him.

Before he could steady the Black Cat in his arms, as if struck by lightning, he let go. A scratch, not too shallow, appeared on his hand.

The Black Cat seized the opportunity to bolt, and the group instinctively chased after it.

"Wait, could he be running towards Chu Wuxin?" Chen Muxue suddenly asked.

"What’s wrong? Didn’t you come this time to rescue Chu Wuxin?" Lin Qing, who was leading the way, turned his head in confusion at her words.

Before an answer could come, he felt he’d kicked something, tripped, and with speed and inertia, was sent flying forward.

"Smack!"

Halfway through the air, Lin Qing crashed to the ground mercilessly. He felt this sensation of being flung first was oddly familiar.

"Meow!" The Black Cat leapt onto the shoulder of the person in front of Lin Qing.

Lin Qing propped himself up, looked up, and said: "You scared me, I thought it was Chu Wuxin..."

"I advise you not to speak." Chen Muxue quickly rushed forward, grabbing Lin Qing’s leg and pulling him back. The already dry yellow grass on the ground was dragged into a pitiful little path.

Cen Lizhui silently stepped forward, shielding the two, mainly protecting Chen Muxue. As he walked forward, he "accidentally" stepped on Lin Qing’s hand.

Chu Wuyi took the Black Cat off, held it in his arms, and stroked it a couple of times: "You should not linger here any longer, leave as soon as possible."

"What about you?" Chen Muxue asked instinctively.

"Since I’ve already revealed my identity, I will no longer hide. From now on, I will live on as the heir of the Chu Family."

Cen Lizhui looked at him coldly: "Is this the path you choose? You should have met Chu Wuxin, and she is now Black Qi, not your beloved sister."

"And what about you?" Chu Wuyi retorted without backing down.
