Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 517:

Cen Lizhui met Chen Muxue’s gaze, his amber eyes as saturated with water as his rain-soaked face, the broad white robe clinging to his body, revealing the texture of his chest and abdominal muscles...

Seeing Chen Muxue’s gaze sliding ever downward, Cen Lizhui’s lips, which had just parted slightly, pressed together again.

Oops! Upon noticing the outline of underwear, Chen Muxue abruptly snapped back to reality, coughing awkwardly... Wow, no wonder you’re a prodigy in cultivation, what a physique.

Noticing Chen Muxue’s gaze suddenly shift away, Cen Lizhui felt a slight sense of disappointment. He lightly covered his lips and coughed twice, somewhat weakly: "It’s thundering... I’m... I’m a bit scared..."

As he spoke, he gave a slight shiver, unsure whether it was from the chill of being soaked or fear of the thunder.

Uh, although it actually hadn’t thundered when he shivered...

Seeing his rosy lips and the powerful aura inadvertently exuded from him, it seemed unlikely he was cold...

But what’s going on here? Also, dude, how did you get so drenched? You couldn’t have managed this without jumping into a lake!

Oh right, Lin Qing mentioned earlier that this rain was summoned by someone...

"What are you thinking?"

"Lin Qing said..."

"Chen Muxue!"

Startled by the shout, Chen Muxue wondered what she’d done wrong. Why was everyone yelling at her? No, it must not be her fault; surely it’s because they’re not human—they’re dogs... probably young men who’d know the Pythagorean theorem.

"Can you think about me?" Cen Lizhui stepped forward, splashing water with each step. This person really went all out, soaking in a bath with his clothes on!

All this time without using the Immortal Sect Secret Technique to dry and clean himself, it was hard on him...

Looking quite wobbly, Cen Lizhui was still held by Chen Muxue’s hand. She didn’t expect it would be so icy to the touch.

"How did it end up like this?" Though lacking the Immortal Sect Secret Technique, Chen Muxue was of Water Spirit Root and already in the Golden Core Realm. A bit of water was no challenge for her, and with some power, she managed to dry Cen Lizhui thoroughly.

Just then, another bolt of thunder struck, and Cen Lizhui’s gaze instantly transformed into that of a startled bunny, then he smoothly jumped into Chen Muxue’s room.

Chen Muxue: "You’re scared of thunder; how did you manage cultivation without facing Tribulations?"

"...Cough...cough...It’s so cold!" Cen Lizhui dashed to the bed, dragged the blanket over himself and wrapped up.

"...You’re sweating."

"I must have a fever then!"

"Well, then hurry up and lie down, sleep tight."

Chen Muxue coaxed Cen Lizhui to lie down, tucked the blanket around him snugly, and patted his head: "Sleep tight~ Sleep tight~ my dear... appointed good buddy~"

This time the singing was pretty good; it almost sent him off directly, quite reminiscent of a lullaby.

After a couple of soothing words, Chen Muxue got up to leave.

"Where are you going?" Cen Lizhui opened his eyes suddenly after just closing them, with a galaxy-like look in his eyes.

"You’re sleeping in the side room, so I’m reluctantly taking the master bedroom. Oh, I know you’re thoughtful; next time just tell me directly, I’ll accept!" Chen Muxue walked out with determined steps.

"I’m not... You... wait!"

The blanket was pressed down somewhat awkwardly; Cen Lizhui wriggled like a caterpillar, finally becoming impatient and tearing out, only to find his shoes gone.

"Chen! Muxue!"

"Goodnight!"
