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

Chapter 367: 204, Beginning Progressing Relationship

An indigo loft stood out prominently among the small, square houses with connecting eaves, forming low depressions. A woman in a light lotus-white dress with a gentle face paced toward the window, her eyes, sculpted as if by an artisan’s exhausting effort and smooth as jade, intently staring at the buildings below without speaking.

After a long moment, a woman dressed in black emerged from behind a curtain, she bowed deeply with her fists clasped, and respectfully said, “Saintess Yulan, I have already sent someone to ask in our sect. Unless there are any surprises, the person Mr. Mo regards as a great enemy should indeed be Elder Mu’s disciple and the Outer Domain Demon wanted jointly by all major sects.”

Yulan nodded, her expressive eyes decidedly moving away from the leisurely drifting white clouds above and softly asked with some hesitation, “Master Mu, does she know that you are inquiring about these things?”

“Elder Mu knows.”

The woman in black nodded.

“Then did she say anything?”

“Not a word.”

“What do other elders in the sect think of this younger fellow disciple?”

“The sect has issued a gag order.”

Yulan, with a calm expression, pondered for a moment before nodding and said, “I understand.”

“Given this, how should we deal with him?”

The woman in black asked, her eyes full of curiosity.

Truth to be told, she was also curious about the so-called Outer Domain Demon.

“If there’s a chance, I would like to meet him.”

Yulan sighed, “Though he is known as the Outer Domain Demon, he is after all a fellow disciple I have never met.”

“Meet him?”

The woman in black hesitated, “Saintess, you have been undercover in the Demon Sect for so many years…”

“Don’t worry.”

Yulan slightly shook her head, “I won’t let those three old monsters notice anything unusual. Most importantly, if I want to compete for a higher position, this unseen fellow disciple might still be an opportunity.”

Her smile was somewhat enigmatic.

The woman in black quickly figured out her intention.

“You mean, to join forces with Mr. Mo?”

“Mo Xianxian is a favorite of the old women, and I aim to rely on the Sumi Elder; these two do not conflict,” Yulan nodded.

“Thirteen possible young masters, yet only three will be picked, with the remaining ten dying by each other’s hands or others’; the Demon Sect truly lives up to its name with brutal internal competition.”

“If not for this, the sect’s old monsters wouldn’t have sent me.”

Yulan laughed, “Not to mention the imminent great battle between demons and humans, even the upcoming battle on the Road to Ascension, the movements of the Demon Sect should indeed be under our control.”

The woman in black’s expression turned serious, “That’s why I hope you don’t collaborate with Mo Xianxian.”

“You think she isn’t a suitable partner?”

Yulan glanced at her, gently shaking her head, “I know what you are thinking, in all of your eyes, she is an unreasonable madwoman without loyal subordinates, but in my view, she is precisely the most astute thinker.”

“It’s not like that, I just worry, pretending to join forces is one thing; actually seeking to eliminate foes for your younger disciple-brother is another.”

The woman in black looked down with an expressionless face and said, “Old bonds between disciples and teachers, I fear you might take them too seriously.”

Upon hearing her words, Yulan was momentarily taken aback before she chuckled and shook her head.

It was unclear if she was laughing because she misunderstood herself, or because she misunderstood Mo Xianxian, or maybe, it was both.

…

“What do you think of this place?”

Bright sunlight shone brashly in the double-courtyard, with green vines twining around a bamboo shelter, several crows perched atop, their turquoise eyes turning restlessly, their beaks clamped with worms, and they began to squawk raucously upon sighting the two.

Xu Yuan observed the surroundings.

It was quiet and peaceful; though it was in a bustling market, it still carried a bit of comfort and leisure, clearly having been carefully selected.

“It’s quite good.”

He said.

“Just that, I wonder when did you become so divinely capable, Liuli? You even knew about this place in Xunyang City before arriving, and moreover, it just happens to be uninhabited.”

Xu Yuan looked at her, like a traveler in the mountains unexpectedly encountering a deep pool that had not been seen for thousands of years, curiously peeking out.

Instantly, a reflection appeared on the surface of those seldom-traveled, deep pool-like eyes.

Deep and serene like an ancient pool, tranquil as an abyss, ethereal and profound, with a clear cerulean color, unfathomably deep.

Tian Liuli smiled calmly and said, “Everyone has secrets, just like now, to this day, I still don’t know where that sword of yours, which carries Thunderfire Divine Skills, and your Immortal Skills come from, right?”

“Indeed.”

Xu Yuan was slightly startled and nodded.

She was right, it was perhaps better for people to keep some secrets between them.

But the next moment, he knew he was wrong; Tian Liuli did not think so.

“However,”@@novelbin@@

Tian Liuli smiled briefly, her tone abruptly became urgent, “I don’t like that there are secrets between us.”

It was as if the accumulated sediment and dead leaves at the bottom of the pool suddenly stirred up with a wind, sweeping everything clean, revealing all under the sun.

Countless years of tarnished traces in the ancient pool were suddenly fully visible.

The empathy just rising in Xu Yuan’s heart vanished instantly, replaced by a feeling of impending doom.

“It was someone from Qiushui Shengong who told me.”

And his premonition proved correct; without waiting for him to object, Tian Liuli had already continued, “The reason I deliberately appeared in my own true form that day, besides fishing, was also to make it easier for them to contact me.”
