CHAPTER 288: CHAPTER 288: MONSTER

Chen Muxue was quite puzzled: "Trouble?"

She glanced at the dissipating thunderclouds, then looked at her right hand where the lightning had gradually disappeared: "Sort of... I guess."

Huo Lian’s gaze suddenly deepened.

"I knew it, you’re a monster!" Lan Xin gasped for breath, leaning on the door for support, before she had enough energy to speak.

Chu Wuyun, who only arrived at this moment, was still confused: "Monster?! Master Huo, save me!"

As she spoke, she took advantage of the situation to hide behind Huo Lian.

Huo Lian’s mouth twitched slightly, discreetly moving aside to avoid Chu Wuyun: "What wind blew the seventh young lady of the Chu family here?"

Looking at Chu Wuyun’s usual "dark style," he slightly lowered his head to hide his amusement: "I didn’t know a lady like the seventh young lady of the Chu family would be afraid of monsters?"

Chu Wuyun suddenly realized her "cool persona," and felt a bit awkward: "Haha, well, it’s the first time I’ve seen a monster, so I was a little flustered... Is she really a monster?"

Chu Wuyun pointed at Chen Muxue, trying to divert everyone’s attention to her to alleviate her embarrassment.

Lan Xin angrily waved her fist: "It’s her! I saw what her hand looked like just now! She’s definitely not a proper cultivator; I told you she’s a monster! I don’t know what seductive soup she gave the young master!"

Upon hearing that it was related to Huo Lian, Chu Wuyun immediately became interested, carefully scrutinizing Chen Muxue from top to bottom, confirming she was the impoverished woman who previously entered the main residence of the Huo family, and yet a monster?

This servant’s talk of seductive soup—what does it mean? She’s read quite a few stories about monsters; could this woman be like those seductive fox demons, beguiling Master Huo? It must be because of this she was allowed into the Huo family last time...

Thinking this, Chu Wuyun secretly clenched her fist: "Master Huo, you’re a cultivator, shouldn’t you slay monsters and eliminate demons?"

Huo Lian was speechless for a moment; this seventh young lady of the Chu family didn’t seem too bright, and that servant... what’s her name again... why is she still fixated on Miss Chen? If Huo Lian had to say, the one who was fed seductive soup should be her.

Chen Muxue crossed her arms with a teasing look: "Yes, that’s right, I am a snake demon. Are you here to save Grandpa? Then you’ll have to come one by one." After finishing, she exaggeratedly twisted her body.

Nearby, Little Tiger and Changfu looked as embarrassed as if their faces were covered in black lines. The two exchanged glances, shook their heads, and turned to carry the iron pot back.

Master Huo has always taken care of them, already regarded as a friend by the children, and since the other two women lack cultivation and pose no threat to the Sect Leader, they’re relieved.

"Alright! She confessed! Young Master!" Lan Xin excitedly pointed at Chen Muxue, shouting.

Huo Lian pinched his brow, glancing at Lan Xin out of the corner of his eye, contemplating whether it was time to replace this foolish servant. Was she a house-born servant? If she was a house-born servant, it might be a bit troublesome...

Even Chu Wuyun could see that Chen Muxue was clearly mocking them and couldn’t resist rolling her eyes at the hysterical Lan Xin: "Stupid as a pig, when the master hasn’t spoken, shut your mouth!"

Lan Xin glared at this person who appeared out of nowhere, but her remaining reason told her this person didn’t seem like someone she could provoke.

"Seventh Miss Chu, it seems the villa is not suitable for hosting guests today, so please return." Huo Lian directly sent her away, while he gestured to Lan Xin, prompting another servant to come forward and drag her away.

"Young Master! Why don’t you believe me? She’s really not a good person! Don’t be fooled by her!" Lan Xin still struggled unwillingly.

Chu Wuyun was somewhat reluctant, hesitating every few steps, then stopped her departing pace.
