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

Chapter 33 Fairy, contain the smell.

Moonlight unfolded like silken ribbons, gently draping over the two of them.

Liu Ruoxue's fists tightened slightly, then loosened, tightened, then loosened again...

Xu Yuan could even see the network of veins emerging on her pale jade arms.

After repeating this several times, she eventually released her grip weakly.

"So, what is this?"

Liu Ruoxue asked in a strained voice.

"This object, can't the fairy sense what it is?"

Hearing his words, Liu Ruoxue's brows furrowed slightly, and she glanced askance at it as if it were some filthy object.

Suddenly, she sensed the strong masculine smell emanating from it.

"This is..."

Liu Ruoxue appeared somewhat surprised.

"This is a Self-Detonation Bead that was popular in the Cultivation World long ago. The concept involves compressing one's Spiritual Power into it, and it can be detonated with a mere thought, due to its simple and quick production, it was extremely popular back in the days; however, it gradually got replaced by the more efficient Self-Detonation Talisman."

So that was it.

He wasn't trying to humiliate her; he was genuinely thinking about her safety.

Liu Ruoxue breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, she felt a vague sense of loss.

Xu Yuan twirled the bead in his hand.

This item was one of the spells he had obtained from Tian Liuli.

Originally, he had planned to find an opportunity to trick either Lin Qingque or Tian Liuli into carrying it.

Unfortunately, it had too strong of a scent.

Moreover, one was enhanced by Heart Voice, and he feared she might detect his true intentions, while the other's suspicious nature clearly wouldn't agree so easily.

So, he hadn't found a good opportunity yet.

"If you are afraid that I will attack you after I escape, I can swallow it,"

Liu Ruoxue said.

"That won't do,"

Xu Yuan shook his head, his face wearing a hint of a smile, and said softly, "Once swallowed, it can indeed have the same effect, but if the fairy can also expel it when she wishes."

What he wanted wasn't just a mere way to restrain her.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to just use that stick?

What he wanted was to use this excuse to slowly wear down her temperament.

Liu Ruoxue's face flushed with embarrassment, clearly thinking his words were crude, "I have already severed my need for food!"

"Severing your need for food doesn't matter."

Xu Yuan laughed casually, "Furthermore, after I put this bead in, to prevent the fairy from tampering with it, I have added a layer of Formation to it; it will be fixed inside. If it's rashly removed, this bead..."

"I already have an arranged marriage,"

Liu Ruoxue took a deep breath, steadying her trembling body.

"But you don't want to go through with this marriage, do you?"

Xu Yuan spoke as if he had known all along.

"Although it was your Master's arrangement, you... aren't interested in that person, are you?"

Otherwise, she wouldn't have defected and fled on her wedding day.

She had thought that for her Master, she could do anything, but in the end, she realized she just couldn't resign herself to her fate.

A moment of silence.

Liu Ruoxue hung her head, her lips pale.

"How about I help you annul this marriage without conflicting with your Master?"

Xu Yuan said with a smile.

He saw, under all these stakes, she was already wavering; otherwise, she wouldn't have brought up that frivolous marriage arrangement.

"..."

Liu Ruoxue remained silent for a long time, not speaking, turning her head to look at the reflection of the moon on the ground. But her slightly fluttering skirt blossomed like profuse flowers.

He looked up at the sky, which was completely dark by then.

But on the distant horizon, a slash of bright red rose like the most splendid mountain blossom in a canyon.

Dawn was breaking.

He couldn't help but recall a poem.

...

"Is it done...or not?"

From Liu Ruoxue's voice, one could easily hear how hard she was enduring.

"Almost there."

Xu Yuan casually responded.

Although what he wanted to say was more along the lines of:

Fairy, please hold back the scent.

He picked up the bead,

and like Nuwa mending the sky,

not until that moment,

did Xu Yuan's heart finally settle, and he heaved a sigh of relief.

Liu Ruoxue also finally managed to turn her head as she had wished.

But the difficulties and the price she had paid for this were only clear to her.

The two stood facing each other, in silence.

Xu Yuan could feel the complex look in her eyes as she gazed at him—a look filled with murderous and hateful intent, undisguised, and yet, more predominantly, it was disdain, as if she were looking at trash.

Clearly, she must have felt it.

Her eyes were slightly red, her eyelashes still tinged with glistening sparks.

As for these, Xu Yuan accepted them openly and, in front of her, brushed off his clothes as if it was nothing.

Liu Ruoxue's face, which had just tightened, suddenly changed again, a flush of embarrassment crossing her beautiful and cold face; she glared fiercely at him and then guiltily averted that meaningful gaze of his.

If this were some website, Xu Yuan definitely would not have let her off so easily, at least not without showing off in front of her and then saying something like "You criticize with words, but your body tells another story" or "What a fairy, but you're just trash".

That would be a killer move!

Unfortunately, it couldn't be said,

and besides, knowing Liu Ruoxue's character, it would likely end in mutual destruction.

She was already at the peak of her embarrassment,

saying more would only backfire.

"Alright, can you now tell me the truth of the matter?"

Liu Ruoxue said coldly.

"Regarding the survivor of that village massacre years ago, I actually don't know where he is…"

Before he could finish, the ancient sword in Liu Ruoxue's grip emitted a clear, resounding ring.

"Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

Liu Ruoxue, in her fluttering white robe, seemed almost frosty.

"Perhaps the fairy is too hasty? I haven't even finished my sentence."

Xu Yuan said, looking innocent yet helpless, as if wronged.

Seeing her expression soften, Xu Yuan clutched the long sword and moved it aside: "Nevertheless, I know how to find him."

"How?"

"This matter, as soon as the fairy helps me find out where my Master's information comes from, I will naturally tell you."

Liu Ruoxue was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"I'm not sure I can get that information from Master."

"No matter, when the time comes, I'll accompany you inside."

"Together?"

Liu Ruoxue shook her head slightly: "Impossible, even if you successfully infiltrate the Sword Sect, it's unlikely you'll get any clues from her, not to mention, the scrutiny of the Sword Sect is so strict, it remains to be seen whether you can get in at all."

"Who said I was trying to sneak in? Can't I just enter openly?"

Xu Yuan smiled, said no more, and turned toward the town center.

Liu Ruoxue frowned deeply, unable to fathom where his confidence came from.

She watched his receding figure, but did not hurry to follow, instead placing her sword against the ground.

Suddenly, her complexion turned pale and she nearly knelt down as her knees weakened.

"Damn it... Silver Demon."

Liu Ruoxue supported herself with her sword, enduring the strange foreign sensation, and followed him step by step.

And behind her, a mist evaporated by mana slowly rose.
