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

Chapter 368: 204, the Relationship Progressing_2

After speaking, she added, “This is something I’ve known since before I went with you to the Demon Realm.”

“Qiushui Shengong?”

Xu Yuan’s pupils contracted at first, then he nodded with understanding, “I see.”

He was from the Outer Domain Demons, true, but aside from Sword Sect, Fei Immortal Valley, and Confucian-Mo Pavilion, the attitudes of the other major sects toward him were actually quite ambiguous.

As for Tian Liuli, despite having fled to the Demon Realm with him in full view of everyone, she was still one of the most powerful heirs for the position of the next Palace Master of Qiushui Shengong.

The resources and efforts poured into her over the years were by no means few, so how could they easily give up on her?

Therefore, the restoration of the relationship between Tian Liuli and Qiushui Shengong was also something foreseeable.

“…”

Tian Liuli didn’t speak, she just quietly watched him with her expressive, autumnal eyes, making him feel somewhat uneasy.

“I’m done talking.”

Her voice, like a chime echoing through the palace complex in the evening, blended with the gentle evening breeze and spread throughout the entire courtyard.

“Hmm.”

Xu Yuan nodded.

Tian Liuli still didn’t move, the wind on her face carved out a smile, desolate and lonely.

Although the hands of the two were clasped, their shadows cast on the floor by the sky light were disjointed and scattered, never meeting.

“I’ve finished talking, haven’t you anything to say to me?”

It might have been an illusion, but as the sun completely sank behind the mountains and the night tide washed over her face, for that instant of changing light and shadow, he seemed to see a pitiful plea on Tian Liuli’s face, as if peeling back the tiger’s skin only to unexpectedly find a rabbit inside.

Her intent was actually very clear.

“No.”

He lowered his eyes, continually telling himself that it was just an illusion.

A tiger was always a tiger, and that was just its way of toying with its prey.

“Is that so?”

Tian Liuli responded unemotionally, the smile on her face fading with the setting sun.

“Actually, that sword and the Nine Heavens Fiend Immortal Skills… aren’t really important matters.”

Xu Yuan thought for a while, and the hand that had gotten used to being held by hers lately gently grasped hers in return.

As daylight faded and moonlight barely revealed itself, he clasped Tian Liuli’s hand, saying, “Let me tell you something even more extraordinary.”

The tiger might still be a tiger.

But in this place of withered vines, dusk crows, and humble homesteads, the tiger could also affectionately crouch in the shadows under the tree, looking at him with soft and tender eyes.

When the wind rose from the forest, its rustling sound carried her loving gaze, tender as if it wanted to kill the former self.

At least, he felt that at this moment, Tian Liuli was true to her name, presenting herself to him as clearly as a piece of Liuli.

Tian Liuli perked up slightly, watching him with a tranquil gaze as clear as a polished mirror.

Xu Yuan didn’t rush to speak, instead he took her by the hand and walked out of the small courtyard they had yet to grow accustomed to, as ordinary folk would.

He was not in a hurry. There was plenty of time ahead for him to get to know this place.

The fragrance of wine and meat mixed with cheer rises in the bustling streets lit by the initial evening lamps, hurried passersby and cultivators seemed to blend harmoniously into one scene.

Tian Liuli had again put on her veil, and with her Divine Sense actively concealing her presence, their appearance didn’t attract the unnecessary troubles of the last time.

Looking at the closely clustered stalls, one sold common herbs, another offered fine magical treasures, and a little further on, another was selling demon beast meat.

Xu Yuan couldn’t help but laugh.

“What’s so funny?”

Tian Liuli cast a puzzled look at him.

Ever since Xu Yuan said he would tell her something more extraordinary, she appeared calm, but inside she was very anxious.

“Nothing much.”

Xu Yuan repressed his smile and said, “It’s just, don’t you think the scene before us is too harmonious?”

Tian Liuli looked around, her face revealing a thoughtful expression, and then nodded.

Even when she was in Dawn City, she had never seen such a harmonious coexistence between mortals and cultivators.

“It seems that the Demon Sect really has a knack for controlling the hearts of people.”

Tian Liuli commented.

“However, that’s probably not why you laughed.”

“The reason I laughed is simply that I was reminded of what I imagined cultivators to be like before I ever started cultivating myself; so when I saw this scene now, I couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental.”

“Oh?”

Tian Liuli’s curiosity piqued, “Your life before cultivation? As far as I know, before you started to cultivate, you were a rich young master of a wealthy family, right? When we went up the mountain, we were both only six years old.”

Xu Yuan smiled helplessly: “Yes and no.”

If everything went as expected, his next words might firmly establish his identity as an Outer Domain Demon.

“Yes and no?”

Tian Liuli stared intently at him.

The curiosity in her eyes almost completely replaced the pride and aloofness that were usually there.

“When I say yes, it’s because I have indeed experienced those things; and when I say no, it’s because I’m not referring to those things,” Xu Yuan said, looking earnestly into her eyes, trying to record every slight change in them.

“Just like they say, I am an Outer Domain Demon.”

Tian Liuli nodded, her eyes still calm and undisturbed.

In fact, she had known this answer for a long time.

“So, I know many things that you don’t know about.”

Xu Yuan lifted his other empty hand and suddenly pointed at the lanterns with the character for happiness pasted on them above the mansion’s stone lions, saying, “For instance, in my world, there’s something that lights up just like these lanterns, but unlike lanterns, it requires electricity. It’s small, like a bubble blown by a mischievous child — which is why it’s called a light bulb.”

“Oh? Good.”@@novelbin@@

Tian Liuli nodded, first stunned, then her eyes began to shine.

Meanwhile, inside her Sleeve Universe.

In a small world surrounded by artificial mountains and waters.

The enchanting Tao Yaoyao was inside, shouting hoarsely at the sky: “Ah Yuan, don’t be deceived by that bad woman! Everything she does is just to trick you.”

That guy is not some innocent bunny dressed in tiger’s clothing, but a sly fox!

Tao Tiantian sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the scene that Tian Liuli had deliberately let them see through the sky with an utterly indifferent expression, as if completely unmoved.

Liu Ruoxue’s expression was cold, and the Supreme Goodness Weak Water Ancient Sword she held in her arms, though still sheathed, caused numerous Sword Qi to stir without a sound, with electrical arc-like Sword Qi dancing atop the blue sheath.

Tian Liuli’s deadly psychological tactics were undoubtedly a show-off, deliberately wanting them to see, to make them jealous and thus to make a wrong judgment.

Xu Yuan had no idea about what Tian Liuli was currently doing; if he had known, he would have certainly stopped his own actions.

But now the arrow was on the string and he had no choice but to shoot.

Since he had decided to use another method to tell her the answer, Xu Yuan was naturally not going to lie anymore.

“Back in my homeland, there was actually no practice of cultivation; that is why everyone was very afraid of each other…”

Xu Yuan continued to speak.

He mentioned cars and airplanes.

Upon hearing that two pieces of metal, without the need for Formations or Spiritual Power, could soar straight into the clouds, Tian Liuli, who prided herself on being knowledgeable and worldly, was rarely taken aback, saying, “Impossible.”

In response to her disbelief, Xu Yuan smiled slightly and then continued.
