Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 488: Xiao An

"Shh! Don’t be afraid, you’re bleeding. I’m here to help!" The little girl placed a finger in front of her murmuring lips and cautiously approached Chen Muxue.

"Auntie, I’m here to find my cat. It’s naughty and accidentally ran into your yard."

Meanwhile, the boy leader at the door was looking up at the aunt who came to open the door with his round, fair face blushing with two red cheeks. His speech was soft and obedient, clearly a well-behaved boy.

The aunt, seeing this golden boy-like child, was instantly delighted. She recognized the boy, the son of the young woman next door who sold tofu. That young woman had a prosperous look, having married into the neighborhood and giving birth to this fair, chubby boy in her first year. Neighbors all thought they were fortunate and especially liked this boy.

"Sure, sure, would you like to come in and sit for a while? Auntie will go and catch your cat for you." The aunt smiled so broadly that the wrinkles at her eyes gathered together.

She had a daughter and hadn’t gotten pregnant again despite seeking medical treatment for many years. Recently, she was finally pregnant again, right at the time to draw in good fortune.

The boy glanced sideways at the courtyard’s environment, a hint of disdain in his eyes, but maintained a polite and docile expression: "I won’t go in, as it might interrupt Auntie’s work. Just catch the cat for me."

The aunt missed the boy’s disdain entirely, responding repeatedly with "okay" before walking toward the backyard.

Chen Muxue, possessing the cat’s keen hearing, took in all of this, glanced at the nearly unobstructed woodpile, and then carefully observed the little girl before her. She bit her lip and finally decided to let the girl hold her.

The woodpile was neatly stacked in just two rows. If the aunt came in and searched even a bit, Chen Muxue would surely be caught. She could only gamble on the chance that the black cat had encountered good people before.

In Chu Wuxin’s Illusion Realm, there was also a kind old lady in the kitchen. In such a dire situation for the black cat, without help from a kind person, it probably wouldn’t survive, right? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The little girl, mindful of Chen Muxue’s injured leg, carefully lifted her up without the typical child-like curiosity to pet her. She genuinely seemed worried about Chen Muxue’s injury, glancing at the aunt heading to the backyard, and quietly retreated to her own room.

The girl’s room was small, without any excess furniture, just a wooden bed. Though the sheets and blankets were old, they were washed clean, with several patches sewn on. Some of the older patches had crooked sewing, while the newer ones were stitched more neatly.

A kind little girl, without even a wardrobe, just hung a rope in the room where she neatly arranged her clothes. These clothes were not only old but also patched and were all dark-colored, deeply worn at sleeves and joints, not at all looking like a little girl’s clothes except in size.

She had no table or chairs, only a wooden box. She pulled out a brand-new handkerchief from the box, placed it on the box, and then set Chen Muxue on top.

The box originally stored some intimate clothes, like bodices.

The handkerchief’s texture seemed like something the girl’s situation shouldn’t have. Chen Muxue glanced at it and noticed a timid little quail embroidered in the corner of the handkerchief.

Little Ann saw Chen Muxue staring at the little quail with her emerald-like eyes and chuckled, "Mimi, that’s not a real bird, you can’t pounce on it. The daughter of Shopkeeper Wang who sells cloth mocked me with this thing, but she doesn’t know this handkerchief is still a good item to me. Since she gave it, I’m definitely willing to accept it."
