Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 82: The Alluring Feng Ya Xianzi/Fairy Feng Ya

Seeing Hei Tong leave triumphantly with the qiankun pouch, Ye Wenxin could only muster a smile. Hei Tong was so excited that she left without even taking her beloved spirit beast meat.

Not wanting to waste the food, Ye Wenxin continued eating, noticing Fatty and his group approaching with exaggerated winks.

"Are you all having facial spasms? Should I give you some acupuncture?" Ye Wenxin asked, puzzled. At the mention of needles, everyone quickly shook their heads.

"No, Big Sister, we're just hinting that we won't tell Sister-in-law about this," they assured her.

Ye Wenxin couldn't help but laugh, realizing her sexual orientation was completely misunderstood.

In all honesty, despite joking around with Xiao Zhang, she had no romantic interest in her. As for Hei Tong, a spirit beast with the mentality of a ten-year-old, Ye Wenxin would have to be blind to have any inappropriate thoughts.

However, the more she tried to explain, the more complicated things became. So, Ye Wenxin decided to let it be. She chatted with Gu Aotian, hoping to dispel any rumors about her supposed interest in women.

Gu Aotian, blushing furiously, drew even more attention from onlookers, making Ye Wenxin feel satisfied. After lunch, she left the dining hall, content with the chaos she'd stirred.

With no classes in the afternoon and Long Qing'er in seclusion, Ye Wenxin had no desire to see Ling Jue. She decided to check on Huang Hanyan, only to find out that upon hearing about Long Qing'er's seclusion, Huang Hanyan also decided to retreat.

Feeling even more bored, Ye Wenxin decided not to disturb Gu Xiangsi and secretly headed to the back mountain to check on Feng Ya Xianzi.

The back mountain was as vast and expansive as ever. Ye Wenxin took out Hei Tong's feather and infused it with her true energy. The feather floated in the air, guiding her to Feng Ya Xianzi's location.

After about half an hour, Ye Wenxin arrived at a waterfall. The feather paused briefly before ascending along the falls, finally stopping mid-air.

Realizing she had reached her destination, Ye Wenxin was surprised to find Feng Ya Xianzi hiding behind a waterfall.

The location was indeed convenient for concealing one's presence. More than her thoughts on Feng Ya Xianzi, Ye Wenxin admired Hei Tong's diligence in finding such a place.

Ye Wenxin marveled at Hei Tong's efficiency, then took out her mountain-climbing gear to ascend leisurely, like a tourist.

But only she knew how much effort it took to act like someone with weak cultivation.

Step by step, she feigned exhaustion, even pretending to slip at one point. She hoped Feng Ya Xianzi would take pity and reveal herself, but even as she nearly fell, Feng Ya Xianzi remained unmoved.

Ye Wenxin resorted to using her dagger to anchor into the rock, climbing upward methodically. She was wiser now, abandoning her attempts at self-harm for sympathy.

Eventually, as night fell, she reached the cave entrance. The entrance was new, and the surrounding soil seemed freshly dug, making Ye Wenxin wonder if Feng Ya Xianzi had excavated it for her retreat.
