Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok! Chapter 496

And Xiao An grew up in such a family, after her reputation was ruined, the future she faced was likely to drift further and further away from her inner expectations and dreams...

Chen Muxue pondered, while Xiao An, holding her, arrived absent-mindedly in front of a certain door.

Suddenly, the bright lights dazzled Chen Muxue’s eyes. She couldn’t help but look up, and the three large characters "Huichun Hall" ca into view. Clearly, they were just ordinary lanterns, but for so reason, the two lanterns hanging in front of Huichun Hall were particularly dazzling.

Perhaps, the light of the lanterns represented sothing to so extent?

Xiao An hesitated for a long ti before finally stepping forward to knock on the door.

Although her older brother had told her, if she ever encountered any difficulties, to go to him, Xiao An was never the type to seek help easily, and she found it hard to comfortably accept assistance from others, always feeling like she would owe sothing to them.

But now, it seed she had nowhere else to go.

"Coming!"

Perhaps because this was a clinic, to prevent anyone from getting sick urgently at night, there was soone on duty at Huichun Hall, and upon hearing the knock, they hurried to answer.

Xiao An clearly thought of this as well, which made her even more embarrassed because she wasn’t a critically ill patient in need, yet she was troubling others in the middle of the night...

The door was opened by a young clerk, obviously not a doctor, at best soone who dispensed dicine. Seeing Xiao An seemingly unhard and holding the Black Cat, he showed no impatience or any other negative emotions, and patiently asked, "Little girl, what’s wrong?"

"I... I don’t know where to go..." Xiao An hugged the cat more tightly, which made Chen Muxue a bit uncomfortable, but she wasn’t really a cat, so she didn’t cry out at this ti.

"Ah... this..." The clerk hesitated for a while.

Seeing his expression, Chen Muxue guessed he feared that since it was already late, it wouldn’t be good for him and Xiao An, a lone male and female, to be together.

But Xiao An clearly overthought it, perhaps sensitive due to the cloth shop clerk’s remarks earlier, she quickly said, "It’s nothing! I, I just..."

"No worries, no worries, little girl, where is your ho? How about I take you back ho?" The clerk smiled and comforted her.

"No need! I’ll leave now! Right, right!"

Xiao An had run away from ho, and the clerk, seeing her refusal was so straightforward, also guessed she might be a runaway kid.

This was a bit tricky, after all, he was just a worker. If her family pursued this matter, he would find it hard to explain. He was still an apprentice; if he troubled the main household and got dismissed, what would he do?

The clerk’s face showed more contemplation, but he decided to let Xiao An finish her words.

"This cat is injured, very seriously, my family won’t let keep it, can you take care of him?" Xiao An handed Chen Muxue out, but the clerk dared not accept.

They were a clinic, not a charity. Even charities didn’t adopt cats and dogs, right? Moreover, this was a pure black cat... And he was just a clerk, how could he make such a decision?

Seeing the clerk’s troubled expression, Xiao An felt even more uneasy inside. She cautiously took the cat back: "No... no problem, I understand."

Chen Muxue was still worried; what if they accepted, and she truly got separated from Xiao An? Then, how could she return to Xiao An’s side? She realized Xiao An was the protagonist of this Illusion Realm!

"Wait!" Suddenly, another voice ca out from within the clinic.
