Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 124: Gu Qingcheng's Burial Flowers [Part 3]

Ye Wenxin couldn't help but feel exasperated as Zhao Teddy's words blocked her retreat. Using the identity of Ye Liangchen again would inevitably lead to suspicion, even if she was somewhat familiar with Qian Bingxue.

Senior Sister Qian Bingxue wasn't unfamiliar with the name Ye Liangchen, but she was also puzzled. Last night, she'd discerned Ye Wenxin's identity. Yet, recalling her master's instructions that "this person can change the fate of Asura Hall, do not hinder her actions," Qian Bingxue had been lenient with Ye Wenxin.

But Zhao Teddy's claims, though confusing, led Qian Bingxue to hope she might find Ye Wenxin, unaware of the world-threatening beast imprisoned in the back mountain's restriction.

If this beast escaped, it would cause chaos across the land.

Senior Sister Qian Bingxue was panicked, as were the younger disciples of Asura Hall.

"You wretch! You led us to our deaths!" someone realized Zhao Teddy's treachery and shouted in anger.

Zhao Teddy felt no guilt. "People die for wealth as birds die for food. Big Brother Snake, I've brought you people. Will you let me go now?" Zhao Teddy ingratiated himself with the nine-headed serpent, which narrowed its eyes and replied with a smile, "Not bad, not bad. From now on, you'll be my minion, Old Nine. But there aren't enough people yet. Go find more."

The serpent was pleased, but had no intention of freeing Zhao Teddy.

Zhao Teddy's face paled, yet he nodded obediently, asking, "Uh, Big Brother Snake, when you eat them, could you go slow? I've never tasted women... could I...?"

Zhao Teddy tried to bargain, especially when captivated by Qian Bingxue's cold beauty.

This enraged not only the other disciples but also Qian Bingxue herself.

"A warrior can be killed, but not humiliated!" she declared, ready to fight the nine-headed serpent.

The nearest disciple was unfortunate, losing her head before even approaching. As the serpent withdrew, her body slumped, blood staining her clothes.

The shock drove the disciples into a frenzy. Qian Bingxue's sword transformed into a whip, ice spreading throughout the hall.

In the sky, ominous signs appeared as Qian Bingxue forcibly broke through her cultivation level. Yet against this millennia-old beast, such a breakthrough was insignificant.

The nine-headed serpent, a playful beast, toyed with the delicate female cultivators, biting off limbs and instilling despair.

Ye Wenxin felt little emotion, desensitized by killing and indifferent towards Qian Bingxue. She hesitated to intervene, knowing it required using her Funeral for Flowers technique.

Asura Hall harbored hostility towards the Demon Lord. Regardless, Ye Wenxin had no reason to save them, reminding herself to stay calm.

Within ten moves, everyone was disarmed, except Qian Bingxue, who barely held on. Others, despite missing limbs, stood stubbornly against the serpent.

The serpent, bored, found this torment beneath its evil status.

Zhao Teddy, ever the sycophant, suggested, "These female cultivators practice dual cultivation. Letting them die is too kind. Perhaps I could..."
