Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 116: Liu Yansheng vs. Qian Bingxue

The issue wasn't with Ye Wenxin herself.

"What's wrong with having these two tokens? No one would dare bother me," Ye Wenxin remarked, accepting the scumbag label with a smile.

"Do you know how precious these tokens are in Asura Hall?" Liu Yansheng's expression darkened as she pulled Ye Wenxin aside to explain the significance of the tokens.

These tokens weren't just symbols of identity; they were a disciple's commitment to their Dao companion.

The more Ye Wenxin listened, the more amused her expression became, glancing at Liu Yansheng without a hint of remorse.

"So you're casually entrusting your life to me?"

"Don't misunderstand. While I might have given it easily, my feelings are sincere," Liu Yansheng retorted, displeased by Ye Wenxin's dismissive tone.

"Oh, then I'll return them now," Ye Wenxin replied, feigning reluctance as she extended the tokens back, "I can't bear the weight of your affection."

Liu Yansheng initially felt relieved but quickly realized Ye Wenxin's ploy to refuse the tokens was a feint. Had Liu Yansheng not caught on, she would have fallen for Ye Wenxin's scheme.

"No, my feelings for you are genuine," Liu Yansheng declared, pushing the tokens back with feigned sincerity.

Ye Wenxin met Liu Yansheng's gaze, maintaining the charade of earnestness.

A second passed, then another...

After about three minutes, Liu Yansheng scratched her itchy face, breaking the silence, "Keep pretending if you can."

With Liu Yansheng breaking eye contact, Ye Wenxin took her hand, "My sincerity is as true as yours."

The familiar words startled Liu Yansheng, realizing she had just said them, yet instead of unsettling Ye Wenxin, she was the one flustered.

"Fine, I concede. I'll take the tokens back for now. Ask for them when you're ready," Liu Yansheng sighed, conceding defeat. Despite being a demon, she found herself unable to outmaneuver Ye Wenxin.

Ye Wenxin finally dropped the act, cheerfully returning the tokens, "Conquering me requires more than mere tricks."

Liu Yansheng rolled her eyes, frustrated that her efforts were dismissed as mere tricks. Unbeknownst to her, even her half-master Liu Churan couldn't sway Ye Wenxin, who appeared so composed before the disciple's disciple.

"What do you consider a clever tactic?" Liu Yansheng inquired, curious despite her irritation.

"Well..." Ye Wenxin drew out her words, releasing a charm spell. Liu Yansheng felt momentarily dazed.

Regaining her senses, she found herself in Ye Wenxin's arms, her hidden tail and ears exposed. Worse, her body felt aflame, her soul ablaze.

Ye Wenxin, though not conventionally beautiful, appeared as the most stunning woman in Liu Yansheng's eyes, captivating her to the point of willingly offering everything, even her demon core, for Ye Wenxin's attention.

"How do you feel, Senior Sister?" Ye Wenxin asked, noticing Liu Yansheng's entranced gaze.

"What did you do to me?" Liu Yansheng asked in return.
