Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 152: Unable to Wait Any Longer

"Don't say it aloud. It seems I've overestimated myself... But I believe you'll grow to like me." With those words, Xiao Zhang disappeared into the moonlit night without a backward glance.

Ye Wenxin felt a slight collapse within her, whispering to herself, "I really won't fall for you! Not in this life or the next!" She could only shout softly, feeling that people in this world were too domineering.

Yet, upon reflection, love was never about fairness. Falling for someone was something beyond control. But why her? She had merely been kind to Xiao Zhang, who was also a woman, so why had Xiao Zhang developed feelings for her?

"Baili Mu, do you think I..." Seeing Baili Mu stirring awake, Ye Wenxin turned her gaze to him, ready to express her helplessness. But as she raised her head, a white figure swiftly pressed Baili Mu back down.

Before Baili Mu could utter a sound, he fell unconscious again.

Ye Wenxin was stunned, and upon a closer look, realized that the intruder was none other than Fairy Feng Ya.

Previously, Ye Wenxin might have been surprised by Fairy Feng Ya's presence, but having just gone through more unexpected events, she felt too weary to be astonished. She sat there, a wry smile playing on her lips.

"Master, what brings you here?"

"I've waited three nights for you, but I couldn't wait any longer." Fairy Feng Ya remained as straightforward as ever, though her words carried a hint of grievance that Ye Wenxin couldn't ignore.

Those three nights were likely the ones Ye Wenxin spent as Long Qingyue's pillow.

Tonight, Fairy Feng Ya had come to find Ye Wenxin as usual, only to stumble upon her conversation with Xiao Zhang. Reflecting on it, Ye Wenxin felt embarrassed to have been seen in such a vulnerable state by her greatest adversary.

"You heard everything."

"From the first word," Fairy Feng Ya nodded honestly, standing before Ye Wenxin in her striking white robes. Recalling how she had concealed her presence earlier, Ye Wenxin had no choice but to be wary of Fairy Feng Ya.

Checking on Baili Mu, Ye Wenxin confirmed he was merely put to sleep with a pressure point, and his body showed no adverse effects from the second fainting. Only then did she turn to Fairy Feng Ya, saying, "Alright, Master, what brings you here?"

Fairy Feng Ya, seeing Ye Wenxin dispense with formalities, proceeded to explain her reason for coming.

"To ensure you claim the championship, I've made some arrangements." Her words left Ye Wenxin speechless.

Was this the legendary Fairy Feng Ya? How could her actions so starkly contrast the ethereal image of the world's most beautiful woman?

Sensing Ye Wenxin's surprise and confusion, Fairy Feng Ya continued, "The secret realm behind this championship is crucial for you."

She didn't elaborate on what she had done, nor did she seek praise from Ye Wenxin. Fairy Feng Ya seemed to be stating a simple fact.

"Oh, thank you for your help, Master." Ye Wenxin replied, though she had long forgotten about the championship. If she wanted to lose, she could simply lie down and do nothing. Even Fairy Feng Ya's interference couldn't deter her desire to lose.
