Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok! Chapter 241

Despite Chen Muxue’s best efforts to hide it, Huo Lian still sensed sothing amiss.

However, he didn’t show it but rather smiled as he encouraged Changgui to voice his thoughts.

Changgui hesitated for a mont before saying, "I need to go back and check so books first."

"No rush," Huo Lian gently comforted, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over Chen Muxue.

Back at the villa, Changgui imdiately plunged into his room to consult the Qian Ding Sect’s secrets.

Without the Black Cat for company, Xiaohua seed a bit bored, tugging on Xiaohu’s hair with one hand and patting Changfu on the shoulder with the other.

Chen Muxue returned to her room, closed the door securely, and quietly took out a few sowhat old books from her luggage, all related to cultivation. She always thought about trying harder, but events kept happening one after another. Now, with no one bothering her and without worries of food or shelter, she felt it was ti to push herself.

However, the situation seed to have beco much more complicated now...

Chen Muxue looked worriedly at her right hand, wondering if it was just an illusion. She felt the Black Qi on her ring finger seed to have intensified.

Clearly, when she was surrounded by the Black Qi, she felt no discomfort, but this body seed to be significantly affected by it.

Could it be because her soul from another world hadn’t fully rged with the original owner’s body, thus unable to perceive the corrosion of the Black Qi?

She flipped through the books, trying to find an answer there.

At dinner, Changgui hurriedly shoved a few mouthfuls and imdiately returned to his room.

His diligence made Chen Muxue feel sowhat inadequate.

It was the sa in school before: she resolved to be a top student in the first few days of the sester, but within three days would lose steam. To say the least, her grades hovered in the middle, not excellent nor entirely neglectful. She would earnestly complete howork given by teachers.

But at every exam, she could only look up to the nas on the honor roll. Unexpectedly, here she was, still unable to escape the fate of gazing up at top students.

Chen Muxue finished her al, looked at the moon outside. With Mid-Autumn approaching, the moon was becoming rounder and brighter. She closed her eyes and sensed a trace of the nature’s spiritual energy, deciding to find a place to absorb so essence of the sun and moon—reportedly powerful, according to TV dramas.

Xiaohu and Changfu didn’t expect the two to finish eating even quicker than they did, and they exchanged glances.

Unable to sit still, Xiaohua hurriedly stuffed so food before running out to play in the courtyard.

Left alone with Xiaohu, Changfu tentatively said, "Why do I feel lately the Sect Leader’s cooking doesn’t seem as...?"

"The taste is the sa, just feels like sothing is missing..." Xiaohu glanced at Changfu, also expressing it subtly.

"Does it seem a bit less infused with Spiritual Energy?" Changfu asked cautiously.

Xiaohu furrowed his brow in thought.

"I don’t want to keep eating plain boiled vegetables..." Changfu said, his gaze sowhat evasive.

The Sect Leader wouldn’t revert to the way she was before, right? Although there was nothing wrong with the previous Sect Leader, the way she was now made him feel like they were truly like children of the Qian Ding Sect, not so strays picked up off the street temporarily staying at the Qian Ding Sect.

Xiaohu looked at Changfu and clearly saw his thoughts, having similar private sentints himself.

"No matter how the Sect Leader changes, she will always be our Sect Leader, our lifesaver," Xiaohu paused, "Besides, maybe the Sect Leader has encountered so troubles herself? We should figure out how to help her!"
