Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 96: The Spring of the Wild Lily

The Asura Hall was infamous for its dual cultivation practices, and Ye Wenxin couldn't help but speculate whether Luo Miaoyi intended to take Ling Jue back as a cultivation cauldron. The thought amused her, while Ling Jue's expression turned subtle. The tension of their life-or-death situation was momentarily broken by Luo Miaoyi's revelation of her identity.

"Hahaha, an Asura Hall girl in heat? Since we're both from the Demon Sect, I might spare your life," laughed a member of Wu Wang Tower. Luo Miaoyi flushed with anger, regretting her choice to join Asura Hall.

Joining Asura Hall was one thing, but finding a suitable partner for dual cultivation was another challenge. Everyone viewed Asura Hall as a place where nothing but bones remained, and despite her low profile, Luo Miaoyi's identity was now exposed in an awkward situation.

"Shut up! I'm not like you."

"What's so different? You're just planning to kill Ling Jue in another way. Maybe we'll be nice and let you enjoy him first, then finish him off," the Wu Wang Tower members taunted, either scorning Asura Hall or dismissing Ling Jue entirely.

"You've gone too far! I'm from Asura Hall, but I have principles!" Luo Miaoyi stomped in frustration, ready to fight the Wu Wang Tower members.

However, her cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Any attempt to fight would likely cripple her. She struggled internally, tempted to absorb Ling Jue's power to bolster her own.

But seeing Ling Jue's disdainful expression, Luo Miaoyi repressed her dark thoughts, a smile forming as she recalled something.

"Right, my Senior Sister gave me a pouch, saying I could use it if in danger..." Luo Miaoyi rummaged through her qiankun bag, pulling out a pink pouch in full view.

Everyone watched curiously as she opened the pouch, revealing a small object. Wu Wang Tower's expressions shifted drastically.

"This isn't good!"

As they tried to snatch it away, Ye Wenxin tossed the object to the ground, releasing a crimson butterfly that flew skyward.

This was Asura Hall's distress signal. Once released, nearby Asura Hall disciples would sense the disturbance and come to their aid. Perhaps knowing Luo Miaoyi's lack of wits, her Senior Sister had specifically instructed her.

Had it not been for the present danger, Luo Miaoyi would have completely forgotten her Senior Sister's advice.

"What does the butterfly do?" Luo Miaoyi asked, genuinely puzzled. Ye Wenxin couldn't help but give her a look as if she were an idiot. Even Ye Wenxin, a stay-at-home Demon Lord, knew what the butterfly signified, yet Luo Miaoyi, an Asura Hall disciple, wore such an innocent expression.

"If Asura Hall arrives, we won't complete the mission. Kill! Kill Ling Jue now!" Wu Wang Tower finally acted. It's said villains die from talking too much, but Ye Wenxin thought they died from being too arrogant.

They had ample chances to kill them but remained overconfident.

As the assassins charged, Ling Jue wielded her Shanhe Fan against them. Luo Miaoyi swung her whip to keep others at bay, while Ye Wenxin, more cunning, infused her needles with qi, flinging them at the attackers.
