Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 489

Chen Muxue stared at Xiao An with her emerald-like eyes, the thin yet remarkably upright posture of the little girl reflected in her pupils.

Xiao An hesitated for a moment, then directly took a piece of clothing from the clothesline, deftly tore it into strips, and began to bandage Chen Muxue.

"This fabric, although expensive and soft, is not strong. You need to bind this wound tightly, or else it won’t heal well." Xiao An explained like a doctor to a patient, her hands moving cleanly and efficiently.

"Hmm? Strange, it’s not in the woodpile either? Xiao An! Have you seen a cat around here?!" Aunty’s voice came from the yard.

"It might hurt a bit later, don’t make a sound."

Staring into Chen Muxue’s eyes, Xiao An warned before responding to Aunty, "No, I haven’t! I think I saw a cat squeezing through that hole just now!"

Earlier, in a rush, Xiao An hadn’t had time to clean the blood stains off the ground. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Aunty, half-believing, peered through a crack in the bricks and almost got her eye poked by the mischievous kids waiting outside.

"Oh no, I poked wrong, run!"

"Hey! Whose kids are these? Can’t anyone control them?!" Aunty flew into a rage, putting her hands on her hips and starting to curse in the courtyard.

On the other side, the boy at the main gate heard the commotion and grew even more annoyed. Those two were like fools, incapable of doing anything right!

Seeing that Aunty wouldn’t stop yelling anytime soon, the novelty for the mischievous kids wore off. Now, the boy at the gate felt that toying with that half-dead cat was far less amusing than going after the other two kids.

So, the boy at the gate wandered off as well.

Inside, Xiao An heard her mother cursing outside the courtyard and was no longer surprised. Her mother never cared whether her swearing had any bad influence on her.

At this moment, Xiao An was intently focusing on Chen Muxue’s fractured forepaw. Due to Chen Muxue’s prior "narrow escape," the bone was clearly dislocated, and Xiao An was trying to analyze its original shape.

Although she felt unsure, this was the best solution available. Xiao An took out a cherished wooden hairpin, broke it with determination, and attempted to realign Chen Muxue’s bone, securing her leg with the hairpin and cloth strips.

This process must have been extremely painful, yet Chen Muxue didn’t make a sound, at most whimpering a few times, surprising Xiao An immensely.

Although she had heard others say that Black Cats are ominous symbols, Xiao An always felt that a cat is just a cat, and a Black Cat is simply born with black fur, just like how some children are dark and skinny like little mice while others are fair and chubby and adorable. Cats can’t decide their fur color, so why are they labeled as "ominous"?

Now, Xiao An felt that this Black Cat was not only not ominous but perhaps even understanding! She had just symbolically told him not to make noise, and he really didn’t make a sound. She had already planned where to hide him if he cried out and how to explain it to her mother!

Looking into the Black Cat’s crystalline green eyes, Xiao An truly thought this cat was remarkable.

"What’s your name?" Xiao An, for some reason, subconsciously held some expectations.

"Meow." Chen Muxue felt quite speechless. Even if she could understand, she couldn’t speak human language!

Xiao An knew she expected too much and felt a bit embarrassed, "Alright, stay here to heal, don’t run around. If my mother finds you, you’ll be in trouble."

"You lazy girl, why haven’t you come out to start the fire? Look at what time it is!" Aunty finally seemed to have finished cursing and began shouting towards Xiao An’s room.
