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

She had never imagined that among the disciples of the Sword Sect, known for drawing their swords and striking at a word of disagreement, there could be such an anomaly.

It would be one thing if he was merely eccentric, but he was also a scoundrel.

"Heh, feigned affection."

Even as she said this, Tian Liuli was still enduring the discomfort of wanting to punch him away, yet she let him do as he pleased.

This was the first time in her long life that she had experienced the feeling of someone helping her comb her hair.

'If this is what people call a marriage of equals, then it seems quite nice,' she thought to herself.

A silent thought.

"Just this once, and never again. I hope you remember your own words. If I find out that you only come to me when you need something..."

After he had finished helping her insert the hairpin, Tian Liuli spoke coldly.

She pretended not to notice the surprising warmth contained within her reddened earlobes and, after giving him a look that wished him good luck, Tian Liuli turned and walked away without hesitation. However, her departure, as sharp and decisive as usual, carried an air of fleeing in panic.

However, as she brushed past Lin Qingque, Tian Liuli gave her a provocative look, almost identical to the one she had given her that night in Ancient Moon Town over the seafood noodles.

Watching her retreating figure, Xu Yuan smiled lightly in his heart, relieved but also somewhat frightened.

Who says you can't touch a tiger's butt?

...

As soon as Tian Liuli had left, Lin Qingque approached with a stiff smile that she could hardly maintain.

"Give me an explanation, senior brother," she demanded silently.

Xu Yuan sighed and looked down, saying in his heart, "Junior sister, I'm sorry, but I had to do this."

"The reason?"

Although the voice was his own heart's voice, it sounded extremely cold.

"Do you think she really noticed nothing when we came back this morning?"

Hearing this heart's voice, Lin Qingque went silent.

"With Tian Liuli's suspicious nature, she must have noticed something but just didn't say it."

"So this is why you did it?"

"Sorry, but... I don't want to see the two of you in conflict, to see you hurt."

Lin Qingque clenched her fists tightly.

Xu Yuan wasn't sure if Tian Liuli had really noticed, but it didn't prevent him from adding fuel to the fire between them and pushing the primary blame onto Lin Qingque.

When he brought up the reason that it was all to avoid seeing her hurt, Lin Qingque couldn't say anything.

Because she knew he was telling the truth.

After all, Lin Qingque's mind was entirely fixated on him at the moment, and her strength was an entire level below Tian Liuli's.

For Xu Yuan, who wanted to see the two of them check and balance each other, this wasn't a good thing. Therefore, he wanted to stimulate Lin Qingque to come to her senses.

The past is the past, and the present is the present.

The days when she and Tian Liuli were equally matched had long since passed.

Yet she had still not grasped the situation.

If she continued to mistake the past for the present, her day to become his Star Rage Power wasn't far off.

"...I understand."

The girl lowered her head, overwhelmed by a sense of humiliation and a desire to strive.

It seemed she also needed to make an effort.

Xu Yuan extended his other hand to pat her head, offering both comfort and encouragement.

Lin Qingque buried her head into his chest, breathing deeply of his scent.

After all, she might not see her senior brother for several days to come.

"Cough cough."

The Purple Bamboo Sword Spirit, sitting in the seat of honor, finally could not bear it and coughed a few reminders when she saw Lin Qingque's hand sliding towards Xu Yuan's waist.

If she didn't remind them, she feared the two would start seeking the path and begin grinding against each other right there and then.

An allusion to swords.

Reluctantly, Lin Qingque withdrew from his embrace.

"Sister Fang Yuan, I will miss you," she said.

Xu Yuan nodded.

With both of them gone, Xu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Their departure was actually a good thing for him.

After all, if they discovered what he was about to do next, the consequences wouldn't just be unthinkable.

They would be irreversible.

However, right now he needed to deal with the Sword Spirit Girl first.

"Apart from Fang Yuan, everyone else, leave," said the Purple Bamboo Sword Spirit.

Liu Ruoxue frowned slightly, about to speak.

But Xu Yuan shook his head at her and gave her a reassuring look.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Once only the two of them remained, the white-haired, purple-clothed Sword Spirit Girl narrowed her eyes and slowly said in a deep voice, "Fang Yuan? Heh, are you... really Fang Yuan?"

Her deep purple pupils shone brightly, reflecting the sky's light, and from a distance, they resembled an ancient but frigidly cold blade sheathed for ages, flickering with a cold light.

"The disciple is ignorant, and does not understand what the Sword Spirit Master is implying?"

Confronted by that blade-like and frosty gaze, Xu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, fearless.

After the incident the night before, combined with Tian Liuli's, Lin Qingque's, and Liu Ruoxue's attitudes towards him, it would take a fool not to suspect something was amiss with him.

However, Xu Yuan wasn't particularly worried about this.

The reason Liuli left so promptly, aside from the shame brought about by Xu Yuan's actions, was another reason... She wasn't particularly worried about his safety.
