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

Xu Yuan subconsciously held his breath.

But he couldn't let this fire ignite, or else she would burn herself, not to mention that it wouldn't end well for him either.

However, Lin Qingque seemed to have no intention of making things easy for him.

Those pale, jade-like feet, even amidst the darkness, still emitted a soft and lustrous glow, as if they were the world's most precious work of art, exuding a cold and noble light. Each detail had been meticulously cared for, the toenails trimmed neat and round like flower petal over young spring onions.

It's said that a few folds of a thin silk skirt can be delicate as smoke, and a hook in the laced stockings as curvy as the crescent moon.

A glint of clarity flashed through Xu Yuan's eyes, as he forcefully regained his reason.

But Lin Qingque, already lost in confusion, seemed not to have noticed this, and she licked her lips.

"No,"

Xu Yuan suddenly spoke, "I can't betray my junior sister."

This sentence immediately brought Lin Qingque, who had been in a frenzied state, back to her senses.

Her mind went blank for a moment.

"Your junior sister? The girl who came here with you?"

Lin Qingque asked.

"Yes, her."

Xu Yuan knew that mere words wouldn't be enough to fool her; he had to be prepared for her mind-reading.

"…"

After a brief silence, Lin Qingque's gaze flickered, and she said, "In that case, I'll give you a choice."

"What choice?"

Xu Yuan asked flatly, his face showing no sign of joy.

He was certain that Lin Qingque wouldn't let him go so easily; he had known this from the start.

So, he wasn't going to rejoice too soon.

"First, continue with the trials, and if you can make it through, I will let her leave with you."

"Second, give her up, and I will consider you to have passed the trial."

Lin Qingque narrowed her eyes, a mysterious smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"And the third option?"

Xu Yuan asked.

"There is no third,"

Lin Qingque shook her head: "Just two choices, either please me and pass the trial fair and square, or give her up, and you will naturally pass."

Watching Xu Yuan's face shift unpredictably,

Lin Qingque's smile grew even bolder.

It was a deliberate conundrum she had posed.

Even if Xu Yuan hadn't brought it up, she would have done so later anyway.

She wanted to know which was more important to him: the way or her.

But now that he had brought it up himself, she might as well take advantage of it.

"May I ask a question?"

Xu Yuan suddenly said.

"What?"

Lin Qingque looked at him curiously.

"Is there really no third choice?"

"A third choice?"

Lin Qingque was momentarily stunned before slowly shaking her head: "I'm sorry, there isn't."

"Really not?"

Xu Yuan seemed somewhat unwilling to give up as he continued to ask.

"No,"

Lin Qingque said decisively: "Beyond these two choices, you have no other options."

"But in my view, there is!"

"Oh?"

To cultivators, under the control of Divine Sense, the power they can wield is almost indistinguishable.

Lin Qingque's pupils dilated slightly, then she quickly regained her composure, the smile on her lips becoming more nebulous, as if she had anticipated this all along.

Pfft!

The blade passed through her delicate body without hindrance.

Feeling as if he had not pierced anything, Xu Yuan's expression involuntarily darkened.

It was the same again.

How was it done?

His mind racing, he didn't stop; instead, he loosened his grip and used his Divine Sense to make the Thunderfire Sword spin.

But it was still to no effect.

She was like air, untouched by the Thunderfire Sword no matter how it was wielded, yet the sensation in his hand was intensely real.

"Hehe, is this what you call your third option?"

Lin Qingque's voice held a triumphant smugness.

Xu Yuan recited the spell expressionlessly once more, his sword light like silk, forming myriad threads that crisscrossed in an attempt to bind and cut.

But it was futile.

"Haven't I already said it's useless? Why waste your Spiritual Power like this?"

Lin Qingque extended her slender, luminous fingers, gently tracing them across his handsome and lean face.

"Maybe not."

Xu Yuan spoke coldly, not giving up, like one who refuses to believe in curses, and struck again with his sword.

But as it turned out, Lin Qingque was right.

His sword fell behind him and seemed to be a waste of his Spiritual Power without any other effect.

"You really like wasting time, don't you?"

Lin Qingque sighed.

However, the very next moment, she suddenly widened her beautiful eyes, saying in disbelief, "How is this possible?"

The numerous sword marks left by Xu Yuan's strikes, which were initially fading slowly, suddenly exploded at a certain moment with countless bolts of thunderous Spiritual Power, forming a vast net that tightly ensnared her.

A smile crept onto Xu Yuan's lips.

Each of his strikes, which seemed to be wasting Spiritual Power, had actually left something behind unconsciously.

Lin Qingque's abilities seemed unsolvable, but in reality, there was still a solution.

Logically, if Xu Yuan truly couldn't harm her, then his charged Blue Silver Overlord Spear should have been ineffective.

However, both the Throw You Rem on his back and the charged Blue Silver Overlord Spear had been effective.

Therefore, Xu Yuan speculated that it was either necessary for him to initiate contact with his body for it to be effective or that he needed a specific attribute of Spiritual Power.

For instance, Thunder.

And now it seemed, his guess was not wrong.

Indeed, it required the Thunder Attribute Spiritual Power to be effective.

"Giggle, worthy of the man... I've taken an interest in."

Lin Qingque didn't seem surprised; instead, she became even more excited.

"Since you're determined to use defeating me as your third option, then come at me."

Upon hearing her words, Xu Yuan felt a surge of excitement in his chest.

He had long wanted to have a fight with Lin Qingque, but the gap between them had been too great before, so he never had the chance to make a move.

But now, in his eyes, the time was right.

"Come on!"

As he used the Thunder Net to bind her, he spun around and spewed out a Jade Foot Sword Qi wrapped in bolts of lightning from his mouth.

Whoosh!

Although Xu Yuan was shocked by her behavior, he didn't hold back.

But then he brought his two fingers together and made a swipe through the void.

The Thunderfire Sword hummed, and inside its blade, a Thunder Dragon transformed and leaped out.

"Sword Control Technique·Throw You Rem!"

Atop the blade, the Thunder Dragon reared its head and let out a roar, its tail whipping as it surged forward.

A rare look of solemnity crossed Lin Qingque's youthful face.

"Magnificent Mountains and Rivers."

Her lips parted as she drew with her heart as ink, her divine sense as paper, her finger as pen, painting in the void.

A single horizontal stroke created an intricate connection, and with just one stroke, a magnificent landscape leaped onto the canvas.

Even though the painting was only visible to her, Xu Yuan could still feel an almost terrifying pressure in the void before her.

Just then, the Thunder Dragon charged with a roar, slamming hard into the Magnificent Mountains and Rivers Scroll.

Boom!

The scene Xu Yuan perceived through his divine sense on the Thunder Dragon showed a thousand miles of landscape under clear blue skies suddenly covered with rolling clouds, a Thunder Dragon slithering among them, as at home as a fish in water.

After a long dragon's roar, it carried the dark clouds and crashed down fiercely.

The earth trembled, ripples spread across the water's surface, beads of water bounced up, and boulders tumbled down.

But it was just for a moment. Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire

No matter how strong the might of the thunder and lightning, in the end, it couldn't shake the vast lands.

Xu Yuan's face turned pale.

Only Lin Qingque stood with her hands behind her back, emanating a natural authority, an easy smile gracing her face as she looked at him.

"How about that?"

Xu Yuan began to smile, "You... are you my junior sister?"

With just that one sentence, the smile on Lin Qingque's face couldn't hold.

"What are you babbling about?"

Her face blushed a little.

"That move just now, it was my junior sister's, wasn't it?"

Xu Yuan seemed to be smiling, but there was no trace of humor in his eyes.

"How could you, a Heritage Spirit, know my junior sister's moves?"

"This, this..."

Caught off guard by his soul-piercing query, Lin Qingque didn't know how to respond and was at a loss for words.

"I am not her, I only borrowed her memories to test you."

But she quickly found an excuse and hastily said it.

"Oh?"

Xu Yuan looked at her with a teasing smile, "Is that so?"

"Of course, in the end, it's all because she influenced me."

Lin Qingque's words were evasive, her gaze shifting away.

"Then why did you use my junior sister's memories to test me? And what does that have to do with using her moves? Could it be that you, as a grand Heritage Spirit, don't have your own techniques and need to resort to others' to respond?"

Xu Yuan did not deny what she thought he would, but instead asked another more fatal question.

"Ah? What?"

Feeling the pressure, Lin Qingque started to break out in a sweat.

"Why should you care so much about the affairs of a Heritage Spirit?"

Lin Qingque was ready to play dumb.

"You just need to pass the test."

"But I feel like I have already passed,"

Xu Yuan shook his head, "I've never seen a test like this."

"Fine, fine, I admit it's scary how afraid of you I am."

Lin Qingque, blushing, waved her hands, "I confess, using the memories of other inheritors to test you is indeed against the rules, consider yourself to have passed then."

"And my junior sister?"

Xu Yuan deliberately asked.

"Her? She will be coming back to you soon."

Lin Qingque spoke with fierce certainty, and then, with a flick of her slender finger, the house that had vanished reappeared.

Following that, it transformed into a Vermilion Bird Mark with spread wings and slowly landed on the back of his other hand.

"Get out now!"

Not until Xu Yuan had left did Lin Qingque breathe a sigh of relief, her hand gently caressing her heaving chest.

She had nearly been recognized.

No, to be precise, she had already been recognized.

She covered her hot, flushed face with her hands, feeling an inexplicable sense of shame.

It was uncharacteristic, indeed, to behave in such a manner in front of her senior brother.

But then, it was his fault, too.

It should have been enough to just advance her cultivation realm; why did her combat strength have to increase so much as well?

Fortunately, she came up with an excuse on the fly, managing to muddle through and save face for both of them.

...

Meanwhile, Xu Yuan, who had emerged from the Stone Tablet, also let out a sigh of relief.

Caught up in the heat of the moment, he had nearly forgotten the vast difference in the cultivation realms between him and Lin Qingque.

Luckily, he had come to his senses mid-way and switched tactics, pointing out Lin Qingque's slip, which could have led to real trouble otherwise.

He wondered just how they cultivated to get so abnormal.

He had struggled so hard to barely reach the early stages of Core Formation, and yet, by merely suppressing their realms and breaking through again, they both had reached the level of Great Perfection.

Yet now, his combat prowess was considerable.

Even though his strongest move under normal power was easily resolved by Lin Qingque with a mere Foundation Establishment Stage technique, any progress was a good thing.

No doubt her lack of seriousness and her unsteady new realm played a part in that.

Even so, it was enough.

A short standstill was still a standstill.

After all, he still hadn't used techniques like the Binding Curse, which is 100% effective against female cultivators.

Just as he was thinking about waiting for Lin Qingque to come out so they could go to the next Land of Inheritance together, an extremely cold voice emerged from beside him.

"Mr. Xu, you've finally come out."
