Transmigrated Villain: All the Female Leads are Reincarnated

Chapter 46 Snow Cloud City, a city with a tense atmosphere.

"Young master, I stir-fried some vegetables. Do you like them?"

Luo Yin came in carrying a plate, her face flushed with excitement.

Chu Yu glanced at her, somewhat taken aback.

"You...fell into a coal mine?"

At this moment, Luo Yin no longer possessed any of her former stunning beauty.

His face was filthy, blackened, and he reeked of cooking oil.

Then look at the greens on her plate—no, they're black charcoal strips.

"Are you sure this is a vegetable?"

"Ahem~ Although it doesn't look very appealing, the taste is definitely going to be great, young master? Would you like to give it a try?"

Luo Yin scratched her face awkwardly, knowing that the presentation was indeed not good, but the taste was definitely fine. It was all made according to the head chef's instructions, and the seasonings were all correct!

Chu Yu paused for a moment before taking the plate, and Luo Yin was overjoyed.

Daily tasks need to be completed!

However, Chu Yu picked up a piece of black charcoal and stuffed it into Qiu Ya's mouth.

"Waaah~ Young master, what are you doing? Fine, fine—pfft, pfft, pfft, what's with this bittersweet feeling?"

Qiu Ya quickly spat out what was in her mouth, her face turning bright red.

She never expected Chu Yu to pull this stunt; she wasn't on guard at all.

"As a maid, isn't it her duty to test for poison?"

Chu Yu said calmly, putting down the plate and chopsticks with a composed expression.

"Testing the poison—that's something we should do, but, but you should have let me know first."

Qiu Ya was embarrassed. It seemed that the maid really did have this responsibility to ensure the safety of her "master".

"The poison test is now complete. How do you feel?"

"It's so strange, both bitter and sweet, so eerie!"

Qiu Ya said blankly, "It's really hard to describe that taste."

Luo Yin, standing nearby, was embarrassed and weakly said, "Actually, it doesn't really need to be described as 'testing for poison,' does it?"

How could the vegetables she cooked herself be poisonous?

Chu Yu calmly said, "It's bitter because it was overcooked and turned completely black. It's sweet because sugar was used instead of salt, and a lot of it was added, which is why it still tastes sweet even after turning into charcoal. Luo Yin, why don't you try it yourself?"

"Huh? This...this...I think I'll pass."

Luo Yin looked miserable before realizing that it might actually be true.

I saw two white cans while I was cooking, but I didn't notice which one was salt and which one was sugar.

They all look pretty much the same, so I'll just put them anywhere. I can't possibly cause any problems by eating them, right?

"Um—Young Master, I need to go out for a bit; my stomach hurts."

Qiu Ya's expression suddenly changed, and she felt her stomach churning.

Before Chu Yu could nod, she hurriedly ran out.

Chu Yu and Luo Yin: "————"

Wow, it works so fast?

"You should seriously consider practicing cooking."

After Chu Yu finished speaking, he opened the book. Luckily, someone had tested it for poison, otherwise he would have been the one with diarrhea!

Luo Yin smiled sullenly and was about to leave when Chu Yu said, "Take this plate of charcoal out."

"Okay, sure."

He quickly took the horribly mangled thing off the table, too ashamed to stay any longer.

The next morning, Chu Yu's convoy set off again, this time heading directly into the Snow Cloud Mountains, with a clear destination: Snow Cloud City!

The largest town within the Snow Cloud Clan's territory, and also the most prosperous and bustling place.

As one of the three oldest clans, the Xueyun clan has been living in seclusion here for hundreds of thousands of years.

Although it is said to be a secluded place, it has never actually left the Xueyun Mountain Range.

For many forces, this is already a state of seclusion.

Not engaging with the outside world, not expanding territory, and only developing within their own small area can be considered a form of seclusion.

Snow Cloud City is located in the heart of the Snow Cloud Mountains, stretching for hundreds of miles in length and width. Its dark blue city walls are built against the mountain and reach a height of hundreds of feet.

The walls are engraved with spiritual patterns and are perpetually shrouded in a faint, cold mist.

The black iron city gate was inlaid with ice crystal beast heads, and its opening and closing reverberated through the mountains.

The city was filled with countless pavilions, their roofs covered in snow. The streets and alleys were crisscrossed, lined with shops, and cultivators came and went in an endless stream.

Snow eagles often perch on the city walls, their cries echoing through the air. The entire city exudes both the ruggedness of a frontier and a unique vitality.

The roads outside the city are wide, and the official road is a hundred feet wide.

Guards in golden armor and wielding silver spears stood watch at the city gate, checking anyone entering the city.

Chu Yu glanced out from inside the carriage; the three small seal characters for Xueyun City seemed to contain some kind of Daoist charm.

"That's interesting. Integrating one's own Dao into these three words is quite a remarkable approach."

One glance is enough to understand the meaning behind those three words, which exude an extremely chilling aura.

At first glance, it seems like nothing special, but upon closer inspection, it's as if you can see another white world, with snowflakes flying everywhere and a biting wind that seems to penetrate to the bone.

"Holy Son, that is the Daoist aura of a Quasi-Emperor."

Xiao Shengyun explained that the Holy Son was currently only at the Divine Fire Realm and probably didn't know much about these things.

However, although Chu Yu's cultivation level was low, he had a system with him, which allowed him to see through many things at a glance.

As the conversation continued, the convoy moved forward, and golden-armored guards stepped forward as if to inspect the convoy.

But Xiao Shengyun only released a trace of his aura, and the golden-armored guards immediately stopped in their tracks, not daring to go any further.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the extraordinary nature of this convoy, and with such a powerful individual involved, there seems to be no need for further inspection.

It just needs to be reported!

If such a person arrives in the city and is not reported to the master, something might happen, and they would be punished.

Chu Yu did not stop Xiao Shengyun, because he had no intention of keeping a low profile.

There's no need to hide the purpose of investigating the Xueyun clan; it's perfectly acceptable to conduct the investigation openly and honestly.

Alternatively, after finding a place to stay, they could have the Tianluodiwang (a type of intelligence network) investigate, or have Xiao Shengyun personally take action. It wouldn't take long to find out their purpose.

Moreover, the Xueyun clan would absolutely never be able to detect it!

This is the capability of the manor's guards, and also the absolute suppression of the lower realm by the upper realm.

If the guards of the manor were to display their true power, Snow Cloud City would likely be unable to withstand it.

Of course, using power beyond the lower realms will inevitably be punished by the Heavenly Dao, and may even result in being struck down and having one's soul scattered.

This is a limitation on the world's power, and also one of the means by which Heaven protects the lower realms.

Even a powerful figure like Xiao Shengyun would perish under divine retribution!

Therefore, until now, they have never used power exceeding the limits of the lower realm, fearing only the descent of divine punishment.

"Young master, shall we stay at an inn?"

"No, buying a house will suffice."

Chu Yu said calmly, "Still staying at an inn?"

Those places were a mixed bag, which was not conducive to his plans.

"My lord, I will take care of it right away."

Xiao Shengyun left immediately, while the convoy slowly moved along the wide streets of the city.

Xiao Shengyun returned after about fifteen minutes.

"My lord, the house has been prepared. It is located in the east of the city, not far from here."

"Okay, go ahead."

Chu Yu nodded, and the convoy turned around and headed east of the city.

In that short time, Chu Yu had already noticed that the atmosphere in Snow Cloud City seemed somewhat tense.

Although there were many people on the street, including many monks from other places.

However, some people in the city seemed to be in a hurry, especially the occasional guards riding spirit beasts as they sped by, seemingly on patrol or perhaps chasing after something.

This caused widespread panic among the city's inhabitants, and even outside cultivators could clearly sense the abnormality.

So what exactly happened in Snow Cloud City? Is it directly related to the Snow Cloud Clan?
