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

The Sword Pool was cold and misty, with fog swirling around.

Xu Yuan opened his eyes, and his pupils revealed fine streaks of blood and Sword Intent.

He opened his mouth.

In an instant, an invisible Sword Qi shot past Liu Ruoxue's temples, raising goosebumps on her skin.

"What is this?"

Not only were she and the Nascent Soul cultivator surprised, but even the girl in the Purple Bamboo Sword Hut atop Sword Peak was equally astonished.

They all could see that his expulsion of Sword Qi was not just the simple act of expelling the Sword Intent he had ingested, but more importantly, it was a Spell.

After drinking a mouthful of creek water imbued with Sword Intent, he had an epiphany about Sword Moves.

What kind of unprecedented genius was this?!

Even the purple-clad, white-haired girl couldn't help but bend down, skeptically scooping up a ladle of water and licking it.

But, there was no effect at all.

"Tsk."

Compared to the others' astonishment, Xu Yuan seemed calm and composed; moreover, if one looked carefully, they would realize that his expression wasn't actually that great.

In a sense, he had also experienced the Sword Dao through tasting the jade foot of the fairy Immortal Venerable,

After all, what truly led him to comprehend this move was not the Sword Intent in the Sword Cleansing Pool, but the process of Tian Liuli's jade foot being played over and over in his mind after being stirred by that Sword Intent.

But what really concerned him wasn't the fact that he comprehended the Dao by tasting the jade foot—what he truly cared about was that Tian Liuli had silently transferred her Sword Intent into his body through his mouth that night.

Although, if he hadn't guessed wrong,

The Sword Intent she left behind should have been a means to protect him, spontaneously guarding him when he faced a strong enemy and was in real mortal danger.

But it could also be for monitoring him.

Thus, Tian Liuli's nonchalant attitude towards his departure was exceptionally composed.

Does that mean she already knew he would resist them, so she implanted the Sword Intent that night?

No, not necessarily. It's also possible that she was simply worried about some unforeseen event causing them to separate, so she decided to plant the Sword Intent in him in advance.

However, regardless of the scenario,

He needed to be prepared for the possibility that Tian Liuli might have already sensed everything he had done these past days.

Of course, it seemed she was still unaware for the time being, otherwise, she would have probably already made her way to the Sword Sect by now.

The few people at the scene were lost in their thoughts, so none of them noticed that beneath the Sword Cleansing Pool, several girls who had been devoutly undergoing the ritual in the Sword Intent suddenly looked bewildered for a moment, as if they were drunk.

And these people, beneath their feet, all had murky blood traces flowing without exception.

It was just that, after all, it hadn't truly flowed into their bodies.

If they wanted it to bloom into flowers, they needed to wait a while longer.

The snowflakes bloomed and then withered,

The ritual of the Sword Cleansing Pool for the Foundation Establishment Disciples didn't last too long.

Meanwhile, as the ritual came to an end, another truly major event arrived at this moment.

The Sword Sect's grand competition.

The competition was open only to disciples under fifty years of cultivation from the younger generation.

In this competition, Yin Peak and Yang Peak would first decide their respective ten victors, who would then draw lots to face off against each other, determining the final winner.

"The Yin Peak of the Sword Sect has lost twice in succession; this third time, we absolutely cannot afford another defeat."

Morning light fell upon her brows and black hair; as the girl uttered these words, her countenance was as pure as snow, her voice cold yet melodiously calm.

"Do you trust me?"

Xu Yuan gazed at the girl from White Mountain Black Water and suddenly asked.

"I don't believe you, and moreover, I'm fighting for this first place not just for Yin Peak but for myself. If you want to seize this first place, let your sword do the talking."

"My sword is broken."

Xu Yuan sighed,

Handing her the sheathed sword that was already full of cracks and had broken directly under the strain of his recent cultivation.

"I will find one for you."

Liu Ruoxue said quietly after a brief silence.

"No need, I have one here, it's just that..."

Xu Yuan leisurely pulled out the Thunderfire Sword he had prepared earlier.

"A dual-attribute Foundation Establishment Spiritual Tool?"

Liu Ruoxue glanced at it and nodded slightly; "Not bad, if you're worried about others questioning its origin, just say it was given by me, then no one will suspect anything."

"Oh?"

Xu Yuan was momentarily taken aback.

"I have the key to the Sword Sect's storeroom,"

Liu Ruoxue said indifferently.

"..."

Xu Yuan fell into a slight silence. If he had known this earlier, why would he have gone to such lengths to dig for cultivation resources from Zhen Dan?

"However, if you're thinking of getting your hands on it, forget it,"

Liu Ruoxue said, as if she saw right through his mind, her voice light.

"How could I, fairy? How could I be that kind of person?"

Xu Yuan sighed softly to himself.

"Fairy, you wouldn't visit in the middle of the night just to inform me about the Sword Sect's competition, would you?"

"Of course not,"

Liu Ruoxue narrowed her eyes slightly.

"I promised you I would help you infiltrate the Sword Sect, and that goal has been achieved. Now, it's time for you to come clean about the truth behind Master saving me that year, isn't it?"

Between her stern brows and eyes, a faint murderous intent mixed in.

"..."

Xu Yuan was shocked.

He didn't expect Liu Ruoxue to change her face so suddenly.

It seemed like after drinking that cup of Blood Tea, Liu Ruoxue could still harbor intentions to harm him,

Was it because of the Sword Cleansing Pool?

He lowered his eyelids, and beneath them, his gaze flickered slightly.

"But, fairy..."

Clang!

With a flash of bright sword light, Liu Ruoxue had already placed the ancient sword across his neck.

She stared at him and spoke deliberately, "My patience is limited! My Divine Sense has locked onto you, and if you show even the slightest change, I won't hesitate to strike."

Xu Yuan looked into her eyes, which were mere inches away. In those eyes, there was struggle, confusion, and worry.

But not... the murderous intent that had just been revealed.

"It's not right! I misunderstood; she's deceiving me,"

He suddenly realized.

The reason Liu Ruoxue acted this way was actually proof that what he did was successful.

Perhaps, it was because she felt his status in her heart had risen, fearing that if this continued, his position would affect her Master's. That's why she had this sudden change in demeanor.

After confirming this fact, Xu Yuan then knew exactly what he had to do.

"I can tell you, but..."

"But what?"

"If I tell you the secret, I'm afraid that afterward, we can only meet as enemies,"

Xu Yuan looked at her, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

"Outer Domain Demons are already mortal enemies to us,"

Liu Ruoxue's gaze fell slightly.

"If I could prove that I am not one, would you believe that I like you?"

"Are these two things related?"

"How could they not be."

"But you can't prove it."

"I will prove it, starting with this Sword Sect competition, how about that?"

"Oh?"

"In this competition, I will defeat you fair and square without using the Illusory Realm and take the first place. Do you believe it?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruoxue's gaze finally showed a shift.

Feeling the bright sword edge at his neck finally begin to move away, Xu Yuan let out a sigh of relief.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Of course, in return, you will have your own restrictions. But rest assured, my so-called restriction, if you can fulfill it, will also lead to a qualitative leap and enhancement in your strength. Just to clarify in advance, this is a method of practice that I realized while cleansing in the Sword Pool. So, fairy, please don't think too badly of it."

"Hmm?"

Hearing the first part, Liu Ruoxue remained unchanged, reasoning that even if he forsook the Illusory Realm, he wouldn't be able to defeat her with just that sword. It was predictable that he would come up with demands.

But at the mention of the latter part, a bad premonition arose in her heart.

Especially when he took a bell out of his storage bag, her unease rose to its peak, and her legs, as if they had a premonition, began to tremble ahead of time.
