Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 457

The two of them stared at each other, neither willing to admit defeat, as if engaged in an unknown contest.

At least Chen Muxue and Lin Qing couldn’t understand this kind of competition.

"Zhui Li was acting strange today. He just told me he’s not actually called Zhui Li, but he didn’t tell me his real name. Is it because people from the Immortal Sect have to maintain mystery?"

Lin Qing lay on the ground: "...Can we discuss this after you let me get up?"

"Then get up." Chen Muxue looked bewildered.

"...Let go of my leg first."

Only then did Chen Muxue realize she was still holding his leg, and she quickly let go, embarrassed.

Lin Qing finally stood up again, brushing off the leaves and dust on his body. Before he could speak, a black lump of flesh slammed onto his face with a "thud," knocking him onto his back.

"Meow!" The black cat seemed unsatisfied, swiped at Lin Qing’s face a couple more times before running back to Chu Wuyi’s side.

"I’ve heard about the saying ’the dog relies on its master’s power,’ but this is the first time I’ve seen it for real," remarked Chen Muxue in wonder.

"Stop talking and give me a hand!" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Thus, with two claw marks on his face, Lin Qing’s originally handsome face suddenly gained a bit of roguishness.

"You cat, repaying kindness with ingratitude! I’m trying to save you, or I could just report to the Immortal Supervision Bureau, and how long do you think a little Cat Demon like you would survive?"

Fortunately, Lin Qing’s Spirit Root was Wood Attribute, so a few cat scratches were easily healed. The main thing was that, despite stepping into the realm of demons, the black cat’s cultivation was still shallow, and its demon energy was negligible for Lin Qing.

"Meow." The black cat held its head high, fully expressing its disdain for Lin Qing.

"Chu Wuyi, why are you so close to this cat? Have you also turned to the Demon Path?" When Lin Qing couldn’t handle the black cat, he turned to question Chu Wuyi, whom the black cat was close to.

Chu Wuyi sneered, casually forming a seal with his hands, and the displayed spiritual power was so pure that as soon as it emerged, the surrounding black qi seemed to be repelled by it.

Lin Qing rubbed his chin: "Hmm... not really, can this count? Look at our Miss Chen, the black qi she emitted could shake the heavens and scare the ghosts, she could take on ten eunuchs in the Void Refinement Realm. Isn’t the spiritual power she’s producing now just as pure?"

Chen Muxue was full of questions. If she could really take on ten eunuchs in the Void Refinement Realm, why would she still be here? She’d just run up to Chu Wuxin, slap him twice while shouting "Snap out of it!", and the black qi would probably flee out of fright, wouldn’t it?

However... she recently discovered that there seemed to be another entity within her body...

"Black qi doesn’t represent the Demon Clan; it’s just an existence that wanders the world. You could even say it’s a kind of redemption." Chu Wuyi sounded much like those women in the Forbidden Grounds, and no one knew what he’d experienced during this time.

"Redemption?" Cen Lizhui found it somewhat amusing, noticing some red veins had crept into his eyes at some point. "What kind of redemption kills several disciples from the Fei Xing Sect and silently occupies others’ consciousness?"

"For the people of the Fei Xing Sect, do you think their deaths are unfortunate?" Chu Wuyi, for some reason, looked as if he had seen through the world, "Cultivators have never been as ’immortal’ as they appear. The wrongs they’ve committed make them deserve their deaths. The black qi is merely an indirect reason; you could even say that without it, they wouldn’t receive fitting punishment!"
