Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 493

Chen Muxue reasonably suspected that the "ghost" in this Illusion Realm might also be based on Xiao An’s memory. It’s even possible that this time, the protagonist in the Illusion Realm isn’t the Black Cat itself, but rather the girl in front of her named Xiao An...

What does Xiao An represent in the Black Cat’s life? Chen Muxue doesn’t understand the Black Cat’s life, and she has no way to guess.

However, judging from Xiao An’s attitude, Chen Muxue should protect her. She’s the only kind person Chen Muxue has encountered in this Illusion Realm.

According to Chen Muxue’s guess, the Illusion Realm should be a manifestation of regrets and obsessions. Since Xiao An is the protagonist in Black Cat’s Illusion Realm, perhaps Black Cat’s regret lies with Xiao An.

In a sexist environment, Xiao An, as the sister of a soon-to-be-born baby, bears many pressures. She wants to become a doctor, but her parents won’t even buy her an old book on herbs. Meanwhile, they enjoy the money she earns from picking and selling herbs, along with her father’s attitude towards her...

Chen Muxue feels that there are indeed quite a few regrets in Xiao An’s life.

And what does the appearance of the Backrest Ghost represent?

Perhaps in reality, something bad happened on this night when Xiao An was fleeing with the Black Cat, which ultimately changed her life trajectory.

Xiao An stared at the Backrest Ghost retreating, while Chen Muxue meticulously watched the direction Xiao An was backing away from. Her feline sharp vision finally caught an anomaly!

A shadow at a certain corner ahead was cast by a nearby lantern, seemingly waiting for prey, unaware that the shadow on the ground had already revealed his presence.

However, Xiao An couldn’t see that shadow at all because she was intently focused on the Backrest Ghost retreating. She was trying to get to a place she remembered as safe.

"Meow!" Chen Muxue evidently sensed the danger and repeatedly tried to warn Xiao An, but the latter dared not be slack in dealing with the Backrest Ghost.

Chen Muxue struggled to leap out of Xiao An’s arms, and the piercing "meow!" upon landing finally caught Xiao An’s attention. Xiao An immediately forgot about the threat of the Backrest Ghost, quickly turned to pick up Chen Muxue again. Then she froze, feeling something seemingly touch her back.

Xiao An shut her eyes tightly, as if waiting to be drained by the Backrest Ghost. However, she maintained her bent posture for a long time, and nothing happened. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

She even looked back somewhat confusedly. Where was the Backrest Ghost? It all seemed like her imagination, somewhat humorous.

"Scared by a few words from mom..." Xiao An let out a long breath, but the cat in her hands started to struggle again, even pretended to bite her hand.

"Why won’t you behave suddenly? Your injuries are so severe. Jumping out of my arms again would only cause more damage,"

Xiao An continued to admonish Chen Muxue, yet felt the dim light of the lantern being obscured by a dark shadow.

"I’ve been waiting there for so long. Why don’t you take a few steps forward, little sister!" A sleazy male voice reached Xiao An’s ears, accompanied by the foul smell of alcohol mixed with sweat.

Chen Muxue was all too familiar with this scent, but this time, the stench of alcohol emanating from the sleazy man resembled that of a drunkard, nothing like the potent stench of meat.

"Will you come with me, or shall I drag you along?" The sleazy man grinned as he approached Xiao An, coming out from the corner that led into a deserted dead end alley.
