Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 49: The Sixth Kiss Lost

Ye Wenxin quickly regained her composure, not forgetting to indulge in some self-praise as she muttered to herself. "Oh well, I'm just too kind-hearted."

Once a ruthless killer, the Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng seemed to have forgotten her bloodstained past. As she spoke, she swiftly approached the beautiful mute, taking her delicate hand to check her pulse, and sighed in relief.

"Thankfully, this time it's not a qi deviation, just exhaustion. Honestly, do you have to live like you're risking your life just to cultivate?" Ye Wenxin couldn't help but scold the beautiful mute.

She looked just over twenty but had already reached the Nascent Soul stage. Ye Wenxin herself only achieved that around forty, highlighting this woman's extraordinary cultivation speed.

"Ah, mute sister, it's lucky you ran into me," Ye Wenxin continued talking to herself, her smile slightly conspiratorial, as if plotting something.

The beautiful mute lay there with no resistance, unable to see Ye Wenxin's peculiar expression. She looked as serene as a celestial maiden, too sacred to disturb.

Knowing this, Ye Wenxin fetched the Spring Rejuvenation Pill from her storage bag, eager to test it along with the Clarity Pill.

The Spring Rejuvenation Pill could ignite a fiery passion, urging one to pursue the first person they see. The Clarity Pill, on the other hand, would calm the mind, extinguishing all distractions.

Ye Wenxin carefully placed the Spring Rejuvenation Pill near the mute's lips, hoping she'd swallow it. But the sleeping beauty seemed incapable of eating.

Without hesitation, Ye Wenxin crushed the pill, held it in her mouth, and bent down to transfer it to the mute.

Their proximity allowed Ye Wenxin to catch a whiff of the mute's fragrance. She felt momentarily dazed, unsure if it was the pill or the mute's allure overpowering her restraint.

Regardless, Ye Wenxin was determined to make the mute her first test subject.

Although dealing with a Nascent Soul cultivator in madness was tricky, this mute likely wasn't from Cangyu Sect, so her death wouldn't attract attention. Feeling reassured, just as she was about to transfer the pill, the mute's eyes suddenly opened.

Though prepared, Ye Wenxin was startled by the mute's awakening. Regaining her calm, she pressed on, sealing her lips to the mute's, trying to transfer the pill.

She held the mute tightly, fearing resistance.

Yet the mute remained passive, ignoring Ye Wenxin's actions, her detachment suggesting nothing in this world could stir her emotions.

What environment had shaped such a personality? Ye Wenxin wondered, momentarily distracted. Suddenly, the mute's lips moved, returning the pill to Ye Wenxin.

Panic surged through Ye Wenxin. The Spring Rejuvenation Pill was potent; she refused to be the first test casualty. She struggled, but the mute, unexpectedly skillful, engaged her in a clumsy yet emotionally charged exchange.

This was no longer mere medicine transfer; they were kissing.

As the pill dissolved between them, it was unclear who absorbed more.
