Chapter 225: Chu Wuxin
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been eating and sleeping well lately, but Chu Wuxin had completely changed from her previous sickly appearance. Her figure was no longer gaunt like before, and her radiant look left Chen Muxue stunned for quite some time before she could barely recognize her brother’s features.
"Chen Muxue." Chu Wuxin spoke with a smile, but her tone was oddly familiar.
This appearance, apart from her looks, made her completely unrecognizable as Chu Wuxin.
Recalling those who had been possessed by Black Qi in the past, Chen Muxue could almost verify that the Chu Wuxin before her was no longer the Chu Wuxin she knew; she had been completely replaced by the Black Qi.
But if someone possessed by Black Qi has the Qi removed, could they return to being their original selves?
This has never been proven, for as far as Chen Muxue knew, those previously possessed by Black Qi ultimately died.
"She’s not that girl!" The person on the reclining chair suddenly became agitated, struggling to sit up, but repeatedly failing, as if they lacked the strength.
Chu Wuxin gave her a slight smile: "Don’t be afraid, I’ll help you."
She stepped forward, reaching out to the person’s forehead, and a strand of Black Qi trembled as it rose, burrowing into Chu Wuxin’s palm.
The person on the recliner, who had been somewhat agitated, suddenly quieted down like a chicken, gradually fell asleep, and began to snore peacefully.
The exaggerated dark circles under the person’s eyes indicated to Chen Muxue that this was perhaps the first time in a long while that she slept so peacefully.
"You’re from the Demon Clan, aren’t you?" Chen Muxue finally spoke.
Chu Wuxin turned back with a smile: "Miss Chen, what are you talking about? I’m the daughter of the Chu Family, Chu Wuyi’s sister."
"What kind of dealings does the Chu Family have with the Demon Clan that allows you to thrive without restraint?" Chen Muxue reached for the handle of the iron pot.
It wasn’t clear what cultivation level Chu Wuxin, or rather the Black Qi, possessed, nor how much power she could exert with the powerless Chu Wuxin, but Chen Muxue wasn’t about to sit and wait for death.
"You can’t defeat me." Something in Chu Wuxin’s smile had changed, making it somewhat eerie.
"How do you know without trying?" Chen Muxue drew out the iron pot.
Unexpectedly, this time the iron pot did not tremble and boast as it usually did, instead it turned into an ordinary, regular iron pot.
Brother, not helping huh!
Already feeling uncertain, Chen Muxue couldn’t help but swallow.
If she had known, she would’ve eaten like crazy; perhaps her cultivation would be a bit higher now.
Is it still time to cook and eat now?
Chu Wuxin’s gaze at her was like looking at an ant.
"You know, if your Qian Ding Sect hadn’t repeatedly ruined my plans, I might have gone to the Immortal Sect to settle the score with that old man long ago, and never had the chance to discover this secluded paradise."
Chen Muxue, hearing this, looked around at the surroundings; this secluded paradise was indeed unique, a desolate version of it that even Tao Yuanming would rise from his grave to fight.
"If it weren’t for Little Flower’s sake, I’d have killed you all long ago, but pity, you’re so clueless." Chu Wuxin casually said while spinning her palm.
Little Flower? When did Little Flower gain some face with Black Qi? Truly not to be judged by appearances, Little Flower cannot be measured.
If Little Flower were present, Chen Muxue certainly would say, "Having you is my blessing."
Chu Wuxin seemingly found a favorable position for her palm and aimed it at Chen Muxue.
Chen Muxue was taken aback, scrutinizing for a long time, before saying: "Your lifeline is quite short, you should take care of your health, your marriage line is split and rejoined, a love fraught with misfortune!"
"Shut up." Chu Wuxin didn’t expect her to have the mind to read palms at this time, "Enjoy it."
