Great Love Immortal Venerate: Why are all my fairies yandere?

The sound of rain against the oiled paper windows was sparse and stretched, as if it were the scenery that Jing Lixue had longed for in her dreams.

Often, when she woke up in the middle of the night, she would find herself missing that particular evening.

She still remembered how thin and small she had been on the evening she met Xu Yuan—her hair dry, wearing tattered clothes, her little hands dirty. Yet, his eyes were calm, and even at a young age, he was serene as an old monk.

She lay in his broad chest, wrapped in a warmth she had never known before, but as sleepiness overwhelmed her, she struggled not to succumb to sleep.

By the time she opened her eyes again, the young cultivator had vanished like a wisp of smoke in her life, disappearing in a blink of an eye.

But on the ground, he had left a dagger for protection, an amulet that hid her presence, and some dry rations.

After that night, Jing Lixue, who clung to the idea of monopolizing that kind of warmth, encountered the Book of Fate that could alter life patterns.

Through hundreds of reincarnations and ten thousand years of repetition, her memories churned, yet that initial warmth was always retained in her heart.

Jing Lixue's eyes slightly drooped as she tried hard to prevent the sudden wave of sentimental emotion from showing within them.

If that were the case, he would surely think she was scheming something again.

During their first meeting, she had prepared herself mentally, so she had not revealed anything, but this time, with memories unexpectedly stirred, she wasn't confident she wouldn't expose herself.

"Junior Sister, Liuli, Princess, you're all here."

Entering the hall under the schadenfreude gaze of Lan Mei, Xu Yuan, who clearly had not expected such a scene, gave a dry laugh, his expression filled with regret.

"..."

The three originally engrossed in their own power plays composed themselves, bowing their heads to sip tea, maintaining a facade of calm.

Lin Qingque was secretly pleased that he had called out her name first.

Tian Liuli was delighted by the change in how he addressed her and the flash of surprise that had crossed his face when he saw her.

Previously, when calling her name, he would always add "Miss" to maintain a distance.

Only Jing Lixue silently sighed in her heart.

But she had long been mentally prepared for such a matter, so the significance of her sigh was just that—a sigh, containing neither disappointment nor regret.

Xu Yuan had just breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Tian Liuli's confrontation came first.

She had always been clear about her emotions.

Pleasure was pleasure, but the necessary questioning was still indispensable.

"Mr. Xu, where did you go this afternoon?"

When Tian Liuli uttered these words, her tone was flat, and her expression devoid of much anger.

But this exceedingly simple question made Xu Yuan's body tense up slightly.

At that moment, he felt like a man who sneaks out late at night to wash his feet, only to return and quietly open the door to find his wife sitting on the living room sofa waiting for him—except it wasn't just one wife waiting, it was three.

The other two women, apparently bowing their heads, paused as well.

They were not bowing to be polite, but to concentrate better and listen for flaws in Xu Yuan's words.

The rims of the fine porcelain cups touched their tender lips, forming an attractive curve.

At this moment, the three were on the same front.

Jing Lixue, though clear he had gone to the imperial city, had learned from the Book of Fate and seen a change in Xu Yuan's life pattern.

It was a change she couldn't comprehend and couldn't grasp.

So, she was curious as well.

Xu Yuan's heart raced. Although he had pondered this question before returning and had prepared an answer in advance, he hadn't anticipated that Tian Liuli would also be there.

Why had she come?

Xu Yuan had planned to seek Tian Liuli out tomorrow, as she had already hinted at her intentions previously, and he naturally understood what she meant.

However, he didn't expect her to take the initiative and come to him.

As numerous thoughts fluttered past, a natural smile spread across Xu Yuan's face.

"This afternoon, I was chased all the way by two cultivators at the Great Perfection of Core Formation."

"Oh?"

Tian Liuli suddenly raised her hand, a flick of her sleeve.

The next moment, the scent of blood assaulted the senses.

Clatter clatter—

A head tortured beyond recognition rolled on the ground.

Xu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Even though the head before him was disfigured beyond recognition, he could still identify it as the Dry Leaf Elder from the afternoon.

Xu Yuan silently mourned for him for a few seconds, sure that he must have suffered greatly at Tian Liuli's hands.

"When I saw you this afternoon..."

Tian Liuli lowered her eyelids, her gaze falling into the tea cup in her hand, her voice tranquil, "You were being hunted by these two, weren't you?"

"And now, one is here, and the other, if my sense is not mistaken, has also fallen. So, who exactly is hunting you?"

Her exceedingly calm eyes quietly watched him, and a cold smile emerged on her breathtakingly beautiful face.

"I..."

Xu Yuan nonchalantly said, "I wondered why the Dry Leaf Elder gave up the chase halfway through this afternoon. It turns out it was Liuli who intervened."

"Continue."

Tian Liuli rhythmically tapped the lid of her teacup, her demeanor graceful.

"It just proves once again that Liuli is indeed formidable."

"Humph."

Lin Qingque, listening to him butter up Tian Liuli, wrinkled her dainty and exquisite nose, almost visibly showing her discontent.

She had handled seven people by herself that afternoon while Tian Liuli had only dealt with one.

"Of course, Junior Sister is also very impressive."

Xu Yuan continued with some vague talk while reviewing his own lines to ensure there were no major flaws, before continuing, "Actually, the reason I disappeared for so long was that during the chase this afternoon, I sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough."
