Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 02: The Saintess Loses Her Temper ⚡

She moved through the bustling crowd, almost able to hear the desperate cries of her most loyal subordinate.

"Saintess, hold on!"

"Demon Lord, you scoundrel, leaving me to enjoy your pleasures!" The voice was filled with resignation and a tinge of envy. If Ye Wenxin hadn't transmigrated here, she might have been unwilling to part with such luxury.

"Saintess, it's terrible! The Demon Lord has fled with everything from the treasury."

Another subordinate reported, and the originally stunning Saintess turned red with anger, striking the nearby table in frustration.

"Demon Lord, you scoundrel!" She could only repeat this, using it to calm her turbulent emotions.

Ye Wenxin began to feel a bit guilty. After a moment's thought, she removed the restriction from the storage ring and sent it flying towards the distant Saintess with a burst of true energy.

The Saintess, contemplating how to support Feng Yue Palace, was stunned to find herself holding the storage ring. With a flash of gold, treasures began pouring out from the ring.

"Oh no!" she exclaimed, but the next moment, everyone present was engulfed in the gold and silver treasures erupting from the ring.

Not only that, but divine weapons and high-grade magical artifacts also emerged, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded, unaware of how the missing treasures had arrived there.

"Gu Qingcheng, I know you're here! Don't just leave the position of Palace Master and run away! Without you, Fengyue Palace is nothing!" The Saintess cried out for Ye Wenxin like a child abandoned, seeking that familiar presence.

Ye Wenxin sighed. Though it was unfortunate not to take the treasury, it was time to return Feng Yue Palace to its rightful owner. With this thought, she turned and left, weaving through the chaotic crowd. No one knew that this twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl was actually their unparalleled Demon Lord, Gu Qingcheng.

Three days later, shocking news emerged from Feng Yue Palace.

The head of the demonic cultivators, Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng, had entered seclusion for cultivation, leaving Saintess Liu Churan to manage all affairs until her return. This news stirred chaos, with rumors spreading wildly, the most popular being about Gu Qingcheng breaking through to the Transformation stage and entering the Tribulation stage.

Ye Wenxin sat in an inn, listening to a storyteller animatedly recounting these events. When the rumor of the Demon Lord's breakthrough to the Tribulation Stage was mentioned, everyone gasped.

"Is the Tribulation Stage really that impressive?" A commoner, unfamiliar with cultivation, asked, unable to grasp the concept from the storyteller's words.

After asking, the man tossed a silver coin to the storyteller, inquiring about the might of the Tribulation stage.

"Ah, you must be new here, brother. Let me explain. Cultivation is divided into Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Transformation, and Tribulation stages. This ranking applies to both the Immortal Sect and demonic cultivators. Ordinary people can't reach these levels, and advancement depends on time and talent."
