Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok! Chapter 391

After all, if one were to actually see a creature whose head had originally been severed, dead for such a long ti, co back to life, it would be truly horrifying.

Even for a Phoenix, Nirvana Rebirth starts from an egg, not direct resurrection.

Obviously, that woman was also waiting for the fox to co back to life. Even though so much ti had passed and the fox’s body had stopped changing, she still hadn’t given up that glimr of hope in her eyes.

Cen Lizhui unconsciously scrutinized her features; the woman was clearly no longer young. Being confined in this room had left her very haggard, accelerating her aging process, yet only the corners of her eyes had many fine lines. Even in such a depressing environnt, her full head of black hair hadn’t shown any gray.

Perhaps it’s because she has been holding the Fire Fox’s body in her arms. The vibrant fire certainly could slow down the aging process to so extent. This is also why Fire Foxes are in demand and are hunted in large numbers.

However, this Fire Fox must have been very close to the woman. Its body, now restored to a fresh appearance, lying in the woman’s arms, fit perfectly, clearly died in her embrace.

Cen Lizhui thought about this and then imagined the scene—being beheaded in soone else’s arms was indeed a rather eerie image.

He then looked at the woman, who was wearing a chaotic mix of clothes, even the ones showing from underneath appeared to be outer garnts.

The different degrees of wear and tear were also evident. It seed that the woman’s clothes were stripped from people of different tis?

Thus, Cen Lizhui began to scrutinize the environnt of the room again. Compared to other rooms, the décor and furniture were indeed luxurious. If not for the filth, it might have been no different from other chambers outside the Cold Palace.

After thinking about this location, Cen Lizhui understood.

This room could be considered the main hall of the Cold Palace. Those concubines just sent to the Cold Palace wouldn’t be willing to simply fall into ruin. Even in the Cold Palace, they would want to fight, at least to live a bit more comfortably, so they searched for the main hall. Amid the deserted Cold Palace, there was a woman who appeared mad.

So those concubines wanted to move in, letting the madwoman out. Who knows what happened among them, but the concubines eventually realized the fool was themselves—the clothes were gone, and they couldn’t even get in...

As Cen Lizhui thought about it, he subconsciously glanced at the woman’s clothes. Hmm, no traces of bloodshed or anything, so they likely lost only their clothes.

"I never harm others casually." The woman noticed Cen Lizhui’s gaze and suddenly spoke.

At this mont, the brightness in her eyes had faded significantly, almost returning to the murkiness of old. Perhaps she had accepted the fact that the fox in her arms could never co back to life.

Cen Lizhui had too many questions in his heart and didn’t even know where to start. If it were about the fox, it would be too impolite to just open his mouth. He wasn’t one to rub salt into others’ wounds unless dealing with enemies.

"Actually, I don’t have a reason to live anymore. I should have gone with Xuan Qiu back then—we could have accompanied each other on Yellow Springs Road..." The woman’s voice carried a trace of desolation, "But Xuan Qiu said he’s a demon; perhaps we won’t walk the sa Yellow Springs Road. I need to live on, if not for revenge, at least to take care of my child..."

"Child?" Cen Lizhui caught the slip.
