Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 455

Chen Muxue looked at the slightly bizarre item he had, even she couldn’t help but frown: "You... what’s wrong?"

Cen Lizhui had his back to her and didn’t respond.

This made her even more anxious: "Are you hurt? Doesn’t seem like it... Maybe we should rest for a bit? You say you’re not called Zhui Li? Oh, I get it, we weren’t that familiar before, so using a fake name is understandable..."

Seeing Cen Lizhui remain silent, even someone as carefree as Chen Muxue couldn’t keep talking, she awkwardly shrank her neck, carefully recalling if she had done something to offend him.

Could it be because at the underground altar she touched... no, she patted his chest? No way, a grown man wouldn’t be that sensitive, right?

"Why aren’t you talking?" Cen Lizhui suddenly spoke, his voice seemingly weak.

"I thought you didn’t like listening... Don’t mind me, sometimes I feel like I talk too much, being annoying, so annoying!" Chen Muxue said, giving a couple of dry laughs, trying to ease the awkwardness.

Whenever the atmosphere isn’t right, she starts to use self-deprecation to relieve awkwardness, trying to lighten the mood—this was a habit Chen Muxue had in modern times.

Some people always seem out of place, if you don’t do this, it seems you can’t fit in, and whenever feeling like you’ve angered someone, you’d try lowering your stance.

"How could you be annoying?!" Cen Lizhui’s voice suddenly increased, but he seemed to be restraining something, trying again to calm his tone, "No way, I really like listening to you talk, it seems just hearing your voice makes me feel at ease."

This left Chen Muxue at a loss, she’d never heard anyone say such words, maybe when promoting a video for a popular restaurant she’d seen some kind comments, but those words appeared pale and powerless, especially when drowned amongst harsh critiques.

She suddenly recalled a time during a promotional plan, where she taught a home-cooked recipe of a signature dish from the restaurant, she spent two of her own vacation days modifying it, attempting to recreate the flavor of that signature dish using people’s home kitchen conditions to the highest degree...

Once the video was released, most viewers were young people, students and busy office workers, not many would actually spend two hours following the video to cook a dish, yet she hadn’t expected more people were commenting on her appearance.

Didn’t know when it started, people with flawed appearances in videos would receive more positive comments, while with her relatively good looks, more people would critique, eventually even saying her voice wasn’t pleasant, her Mandarin not standard enough, even her speaking pauses were discomforting...

Although there weren’t many of such comments, they were the most glaring.

"What?" Cen Lizhui saw Chen Muxue hadn’t responded for a long time, he turned around, looking at the dazed Chen Muxue, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

He sneered, could it be the words just now made her uncomfortable? People really don’t have much extra thought!

But really none at all...

"Meow!"

Suddenly, a sound like a cat startled out of its fur pulled their thoughts back temporarily.

Through the mist, a silhouette appeared faintly, it seemed there was even fur frantically struggling in that person’s hand.

Momentarily setting aside other concerns, the two became alert.

"Eh?" Seeing their silhouettes, the person seemed just as surprised, and after a brief pause, still walked towards them.

"Are you here too?"

A familiar voice reached them, a dark light appeared in Cen Lizhui’s eyes.
