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

Chapter 249 148. Purpose and Layout_2

Xu Yuan found it somewhat amusing yet exasperating, "It's okay. That restriction only applies to our clan. For a Dao Companion like you, it doesn't matter."

"What's a Dao Companion?"

She blinked.

"You can think of it as something like a wife."

"Oh,"

Xue Lin seemed to understand but not quite, nodding her head. She looked at the round Spirit Pill in the palm of her hand and asked uncertainly, "You're not lying to me?"

"No."

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Xu Yuan said helplessly.

"I thought that prestigious clans like yours usually have rules that only allow marriage within the same clan... That's why I thought that..."

Xue Lin said with a blush.

"Do you think I'm that kind of irresponsible demon? That I only played with you and then let you swallow it?"

"Yes."

She actually nodded vigorously.

Xu Yuan rubbed her head and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."

"That's good."

Only then did Xue Lin swallow the pure demonic power inner core.

"Speaking of which, what would you do if that rule actually existed?"

"Ah?"

Xue Lin was startled for a moment, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

"Then, I would..."

Just as she opened her mouth and reached her fingers toward her throat, about to pull out the inner core, Xu Yuan quickly said, "It's just hypothetically speaking, don't get too nervous."

"Then, then I would secretly hide in your house. Since you've done that kind of thing to me, you can't refuse responsibility now."

Xue Lin said feeling a bit aggrieved.

"What would you do if I decided I didn't want to take responsibility?"

Xu Yuan said teasingly.

"Then I would bite you to death."

Xue Lin said fiercely.

"Is that so?"

"So what should we do?"

She smiled foolishly, seemingly not the least bit worried that he might not have a plan.

"If we confront them head-on, let's not talk about whether we'd be their match, even if we win, the cost might be significant," Xu Yuan murmured thoughtfully.

"Mmm-hmm."

Xue Lin nodded, completely ready to follow his lead.

"The reason you've become sworn enemies is because, within this mountain range, only your two great clans exist, and according to what that Leopard Woman just said, their Wind Tiger Clan came over from the grassland upon receiving the news. In other words, after your Snow Wolf Clan is exterminated, this mountain range would be left to them, and there's only one Spirit Fruit," he explained.

"So..."

"So, we could get ahead by stealthily consuming the Spirit Fruit, inciting internal strife among them."

Xu Yuan looked at Xue Lin with a touch of surprise.

He hadn't expected her to come up with such an idea.

"That is indeed a good strategy," Xu Yuan said with a smile, "but it's not cruel enough."

"Oh?"

"What do you think would happen if a member of the Wind Tiger Clan, in front of the Thunder Leopard Clan, swallowed the Spirit Fruit?"

"They would absolutely explode, right?"

Xue Lin's eyes gleamed.

"Right, but we can't be too careless. Before that happens, we need to stir up internal discord and suspicion among them so that, when this fact comes to light, they will believe it."

"Stir up internal discord?"

Xue Lin frowned, "But how can we make them suspect each other now that our clan has been wiped out and they are enjoying their victory? Why would they fight amongst themselves at such a time?"

"That's what you don't know," Xu Yuan said with a light chuckle, shaking his head. "Often, disagreements and chaos within a team arise when the spoils are not divided equally."

"If I'm not mistaken, aside from helping the Wind Tiger Clan exterminate the Snow Wolf Clan, the Thunder Leopard Clan must have promised them other things, like vacating the mountain range after the Spirit Fruit matures; otherwise, wiping out the Snow Wolf Clan would merely be replacing one tiger with another, inviting yet another threat into one's home."

Xue Lin listened, somewhat perplexed.

"And if I were the leader of the Thunder Leopard Clan, I might plan to swallow the Spirit Fruit, break through my current realm, and then potentially bring the Wind Tiger Clan under my control as well."

Xu Yuan began to ponder; he planned to use this opportunity to also test a previous idea of his.

Using the special effects of his constitution, he wondered if his bodily fluids could be used as a unique Magical Treasure in conjunction with the Illusory Realm.

If it worked, then in future confrontations with oppositely gendered Demons, he would have a potent life-saving trick up his sleeve.

Meanwhile, under the gaze of Xue Lin, who sensed something amiss and looked his way, he suddenly revealed a faint smile.

"Speaking of which, Xue Lin, how do you feel about the Unicorn Clan's Secret Technique we just used?"

"Ah?"

Xue Lin's face turned slightly red: "It's, it's good."

"Would you like to try it a few more times?"
