Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 139: Fairy Rainbow

"Wenxin, do you know what kind of medicine I used?" Ling Jue asked, satisfied with the effects of her new concoction, as she began explaining to Ye Wenxin.

Ye Wenxin observed the state of the Shenwang Sect disciple, quickly recalling her knowledge of herbs, and named a few ingredients.

Ling Jue nodded approvingly, continuing her explanation, "Yes, but you forgot to mention seaweed. Without it, no matter how refined the formula, it would have no effect on cultivators."

Ye Wenxin realized her oversight, feigning surprise, "I almost forgot. Ordinary toxins can be expelled, but Ling Da Ge, I've heard that seaweed is extremely toxic. Forcing it out might leave someone mentally impaired."

This statement made the group helping the man expel the toxins pause, all eyes turning to Ling Jue and Ye Wenxin.

Clearly, these individuals had intended to intimidate Ling Jue, but even after sealing themselves tightly, they were still caught.

"What are you looking at? You can't beat Ling Da Ge," Ye Wenxin joined in the mockery, relieved not to be Ling Jue's opponent.

"Wenxin, don't say that. At least they have courage. Now, tell me who sent you," Ling Jue maintained a smile, though her gaze was ice-cold beneath it.

She was still the same Ling Jue, now appearing as the familiar Ling Jue Gongzi.

The men exchanged glances, clearly troubled.

"Let me guess, you're not really from Shenwang Sect, just wearing their clothes to cause trouble," Ling Jue opened her fan, speculating on their identity when they didn't answer.

"Look at those shoes, covered in dirt, as if they've been that way for some time."

Ling Jue's gaze made them shrink back, and she continued, "Your skin is pale, suggesting you don't see much sunlight. But your hands are calloused, and the dirt on your shoes indicates you walk a lot, possibly entering caves. If I'm not mistaken, you must be from Duanlong Cave."

The men looked uneasy, some even panicked. One protested loudly, "Nonsense, I'm a disciple of Shenwang Sect!"

Ling Jue calmly fanned herself, "Oh, I'm on good terms with Shenwang Sect. If you truly are from there, why not show me a few moves?"

The group hesitated, unwilling to admit their true affiliation. "Who's to say you aren't trying to steal our techniques?"

Their denial was unconvincing, and it became apparent to all that they were lying.

Duanlong Cave, known for tomb raiding, ranked lowest among the ten immortal sects, with a poor reputation. It seemed some lovestruck girl had caused this farcical revenge scheme.

"Oh, if he can't, maybe I can," a lazy female voice chimed in.

A woman appeared, flying on a sword, clothed in a dazzling rainbow outfit that glimmered in the sunlight. Ye Wenxin squinted at the brightness but recognized her: Fairy Rainbow from Shenwang Sect.

Though begrudgingly respected, her conduct clashed with Shenwang Palace's strictness. Known for her indulgence in vices and affection for handsome men, Fairy Rainbow's escapades were infamous.
