Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 97: The Joy and Charm of Dual Cultivation

Luo Miaoyi's face turned pale with fear; she never imagined that Qian Bingxue's interest lay not in Ling Jue but in Ye Wenxin.

"Senior Sister, she's my young master's sister! You can't just take her away!" Luo Miaoyi protested.

Qian Bingxue was unmoved, one foot already on her flying artifact. Seeing Luo Miaoyi's agitation, she squeezed out a few words, "I'm merely delivering her to our master."

Ling Jue clenched her fists, yearning to charge at Qian Bingxue. But after the battle with Wu Wang Tower, she was already spent, let alone able to confront the numerous Asura Hall members.

Yet, knowing Ye Wenxin's importance, Ling Jue was prepared to protect her at all costs.

"Brother, don't worry," Ye Wenxin reassured, noticing Ling Jue's distress. She wasn't being physically restrained by Qian Bingxue, and the latter observed basic courtesy. As for going to Asura Hall, Ye Wenxin had countless ways to ensure her own safety.

If Ling Jue acted impulsively, Ye Wenxin knew she'd feel guilty forever.

"Asura Hall saved us, so we owe them. If they intended harm, they wouldn't have rescued us," Ye Wenxin's words drew another glance from Qian Bingxue, who appreciated Ye Wenxin's cunning.

This statement calmed Ling Jue's anger while preserving Asura Hall's dignity. Although a demon sect, Asura Hall differed from others in not killing indiscriminately. Most importantly, Ye Wenxin's unique icy physique was too valuable.

Qian Bingxue hadn't intended to take her by force, but the icy physique was too rare to ignore.

If this so-called young master of Yaowang Valley tried to interfere, Qian Bingxue wouldn't hesitate to annihilate the entire valley.

With this in mind, Qian Bingxue unleashed her icy aura, sending shivers through everyone present. It was a warning to both Ling Jue and Ye Wenxin.

"Brother, don't worry. They probably just want me to visit. Here, take this top-grade healing pill and recover well," Ye Wenxin offered a bottle from her qiankun bag.

The pill was eighth-grade, the highest level Ye Wenxin had successfully crafted. She intentionally refrained from throwing the entire bottle, opting to remove a single pill instead.

As soon as it was opened, a rich medicinal aroma filled the air, leaving Ling Jue and others, not from Yaowang Valley, wide-eyed.

An eighth-grade pill was exceedingly rare, not to mention the difficulty of its creation.

"This..." Ling Jue was at a loss for words, unsure how to describe Ye Wenxin. A genius among geniuses, the term "prodigy" seemed inadequate to convey her extraordinary talent.

"Take it," Ye Wenxin urged, though she felt a pang of regret. She'd only succeeded in making this pill a few times, yet to impress Qian Bingxue, she spared no expense.

If this Asura Hall's senior sister had any intelligence, she'd realize Ye Wenxin's value extended beyond her physique.

"Senior Sister, Wenxin is an alchemist! You can't take her as a cultivation cauldron!" Luo Miaoyi suddenly remembered their purpose: to attend the alchemy assessment.
