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

Chapter 423: Unexpected Gains_2

Therefore, there was the incident of Xue Lin stomping out of the treasury.

…

By the time the three of them emerged from the Underground Palace, they were astonished to find themselves in the central square of White Jade Capital’s inner city.

In other words, they had taken a shortcut through the Underground Palace and directly reached the finish line from the outer city.

Time was nearing its end, and the once-boisterous crowd of nearly a hundred people had now shrunk by a third.

Clearly, those who remained were unable to reach the destination.

“Senior brother, are you alright?”

“Xu Yuan!”

“Young Master!”

As soon as the three people came out, the other four who had been waiting clustered around them.

Mo Xianxian glanced at him, confirmed that there were not too many injuries on his body, and then withdrew her gaze.

As for Lin Qingque and Liu Ruoxue, they were first stunned and then began to scrutinize the Xue Lin who was closely following him.

“Why is it you?”

Liu Ruoxue’s eyes were slightly cold.

She recognized the other party, the werewolf girl who had stolen from their home when they were away.

Upon hearing her words, Lin Qingque and Tian Liuli inside the Water Mirror couldn’t help but cast their eyes on her.

“Why can’t it be me?”

When Xue Lin realized that her cultivation level was now higher than the other party’s, she couldn’t help but get excited.

The humiliation of her defeat when she had fled was still vivid in her mind.

Now, she was determined to reclaim everything she had lost and rebuild the glory of the Snow Wolf Clan, letting them know that the Snow Wolf Clan was not to be trifled with.

It was not until she perceived the icy glance from Mo Xianxian, who had been standing silently by the side, that a sense of dread, like being targeted by a ferocious beast, instantly swept over her like a tide.

That look was one of condescending scrutiny, mocking her as if she were a naive fool.

Xue Lin instinctively wanted to bare her fangs, but upon contact with her aura, the tail that should have bristled fell limp, without a trace of the desire to stand up against her.

‘This person is terrifying…’

The Xue Lin who had just been ready to show her strength instantly lost her resolve.

Aside from Liu Ruoxue and Mo Xianxian, Lin Qingque also looked at her with ill intent.

When faced with a newcomer, despite their disagreements, they would still firmly align on the same front.

“Husband, shouldn’t you introduce me to this sister?”

When Tian Liuli, his nominal Dao Companion, spoke up, Xue Lin instantly felt a completely different kind of pressure.

If the tension brought by Mo Xianxian and the others amounted to a threat to her life, the nervousness Tian Liuli brought her was akin to encountering a natural predator, a sense of inferiority.

It was the presence of the legitimate wife.

As Tian Liuli spoke, the others unanimously chose to remain silent, but their gazes followed hers, looking towards Xu Yuan together.

It was the first time he felt the combined pressure from them; previously, due to various reasons, their unity would dissolve due to personal issues before any pressure could be exerted.

But now, faced with the addition of another “newcomer,” they had reached a consensus and chosen a united front.

For they no longer wanted to see new people joining their ranks.

Feeling the suffocating atmosphere in the square, An Yulan involuntarily shrank her neck and pulled her Protector aside to move further away.

As for that Beastman Clan girl, all she could do was wish her the best of luck.

Xu Yuan remained calm, appearing quite composed.

“My wife, don’t misunderstand, this is my sister.”

My wife?!

My sister?!

These two simple terms caused the once-unified front given by their consensus to waver.

The senior brother actually referred to that woman as his wife?

Apart from Tian Liuli, the expressions on the others’ faces became rather unpleasant.

Xu Yuan’s words were undoubtedly an acknowledgment of Tian Liuli’s position in his heart.

After all, in the past, he used to address them by their names.

Between them, there was no distinction of rank.

Yet now, he actually called her his wife.

Even knowing that this was likely a strategy to divide them and buy time, most of them still couldn’t suppress the irritation in their hearts.

“Sister?”

Tian Liuli’s expression softened slightly, the frost-covered arch of her brows also becoming a bit more tender.

Of course, whether it was because of his clarification of their sibling relationship, “sister,” or “wife,” remained unknown.

“Since when did my husband have the bloodline of the werewolf clan? I wasn’t aware of it.”

She spoke in a light tone.

Of course, Tian Liuli’s mood had improved considerably due to his formal recognition of the title.

But that did not mean she had cooled off.

She could ignore others to a certain extent.

But this person, intruding during the most intimate period of their relationship—wasn’t that a direct slap to her face?

How could Tian Liuli possibly allow this?

“The ‘sister’ I mentioned is naturally not a biological sister.”

“Oh, a sworn sister?”

Tian Liuli said with a smile that did not reach his eyes, his gaze filled with profound significance.

“Correct.”

Xu Yuan stood unflinchingly in front of Xue Lin.

“I just happened to encounter her by chance. Miss An can testify to that.”

He looked towards An Yulan, who was trying to pretend she saw nothing, her face showing distress.

“Yes, I can testify.”

Seeing that the fire had ultimately spread to her, An Yulan had no choice but to stand out, “Indeed, nobody knew she would be there beforehand.”

“…”

Tian Liuli watched the two quietly, about to speak.

Suddenly, a furious rebuke sounded from afar like thunder, “Scoundrel, what do you want to do to Sister Xue Lin?”

Xu Yuan turned his head and saw a towering, disheveled figure lunging towards him with a surge of bloody aura, like lightning.

He recognized the person—it was the young man who had been following Xue Lin and had previously harbored a murderous intent towards him.

“Courting death.”

Mo Xianxian’s delicate fingers twitched, her crimson lips slightly parting.

With a bang!

To the shock of everyone watching, before they could even get a clear look at the person, they saw his body inflate like a balloon and burst into a mist of blood.

“Damn humans! How dare you! Who gave you permission to do this?”

The incident occurred almost instantly; the people present hadn’t even had the chance to react to what had happened before they were surrounded by a fearsome group of demons.

Xu Yuan glanced at the girl with a trace of an unnoticeable smile at the corner of her mouth. As the young demon burst into a cloud of blood, he also heard a girlish chuckle near his ear.

“Remember to thank me.”

He turned back, facing the approaching fierce demons with a cold expression, “What do you want to do?”

“What do we want to do?”

At the forefront was a middle-aged man with the head of a beast and a human body, wearing only trousers. He was covered in golden fur, and his bare chest bore blood-colored patterns, his eyes as sharp as knives.

“You killed our people, and then you ask, what do we want to do?”

“Wasn’t it he who charged at us first?”

Xu Yuan replied with a composed expression.

“That’s because you wanted to capture our people, and you even tried to lay hands on her!”

His hair and whiskers bristled, his eyes bulging with rage like a furious lion king emanating a fierce aura.

“Xue Lin, do you know them?”

Xu Yuan chuckled.

“They are from the Jade Lion Clan, and together we joined as guest elders in the team of the Thunderfire Demon Tiger clan among the Ten Great Demons. The one who intentionally spoke loudly, trying to make others misunderstand you, was their Young Master. He had been pestering me to help their clan seek treasures in the White Jade Capital.”

Regaining her senses from the previous conversation, Xue Lin’s eyes flickered with a hint of desolation. She looked down and recounted the situation with them. Then, looking up at the middle-aged lion king who had spoken, she shook her head, “I don’t know them.”

Creak—

Feeling the mocking gazes of the others around him, the Jade Lion King’s face darkened as he slowly clenched his fists.

“Are you seeking death?!”

He suddenly raised his hand to strike, a palm coming down like a mountain, with divine jade light condensing in its center. It dyed his arm a jade color, and from a distance, it appeared as if a hand carved from jade had emerged.
