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

Chapter 233 140, Ten Miles of White Makeup, Alone Matched with Red Clothes_3

Jing Lixue slowly shook her head, a rare hint of tenderness fluttering across her unfathomable, abyss-like gaze.

"...Yes."

Watching the new Divine Empress act, it seemed less like a trial by fire and more like a scare tactic, a reminder to the Outer Domain Demon that it was being watched. After a slight hesitation, Chu Bingyan still chose to follow through.

"Wait, and remember to send the Sword Sect leader to the frontline, saying... there may be movements from the demon clan."

Gazing at the departing silhouette of the young girl in the darkness, Jing Lixue didn't stop but turned and looked towards the three swaying shadows in the dark.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect... to witness such a splendid drama, Princess Luoyang. Truly, you live up to the name of Princess Luoyang. Would you go so far as to kill your father, could it be, for that Outer Domain Demon?"

The voluptuous Fox Demon's seductive face slowly emerged.

Facing the other's sarcasm, Jing Lixue's expression did not change in the slightest; she simply said indifferently, "What does this have to do with you? In any case, for you, it's all the same who you cooperate with, as long as there is cooperation, right? As for the task I gave you, have you done it?"

"You can rest easy about that."

Speaking of the matter at hand, even the Fox Demon couldn't help but look serious.

"I wonder where the Young Master of our demon clan, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, heard about this. She, who usually never concerns herself with worldly matters, has stepped out for the first time from beneath the Divine Wood to ask the Young Master to intervene, delaying the Sword Sect leader at the boundary between humans and demons for a few months. That shouldn't be a problem."

Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, Young Master...

At the mention of that name, Jing Lixue's expression stiffened ever so slightly.

But she then shook her head, casting the discomfort out of her mind.

Only after the Fox Demon had retreated back into the darkness did she step forward to the doors of the hall, gazing at the bright moon hanging high in the sky.

In the night wind, one could faintly hear a voice as refreshing as melting snow.

"If this world is fated to be your enemy, what does it matter if I betray it?"

With the infusion of that light, he could feel the Cultivation bottleneck he had been straining against showing signs of loosening at that moment.

...

The darkness was finally broken.

The pallid girl, with her last trace of breath passing through her soft lips, slowly collapsed into Xu Yuan's arms.

Xu Yuan reached out, instinctively embracing the girl, who looked as if she were wearing a wedding dress.

The wedding dress was a vibrant red, yet the girl was pale and cold.

"How about it, Brother Xu Yuan, did I not deceive you this time?"

Seeing him awake, Jing Lixue's bloodless face slowly broke into a faint smile. She extended her trembling white hand, gently covering his face.

But her breaths grew weaker and weaker.

"You..."

Xu Yuan regarded the young girl he had never seriously observed before, his gaze quivering. Her eyes, which seemed to hide landscapes full of intricate schemes, now appeared utterly transparent to him. In them, his own face was clearly reflected.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

After seeing those memories that were not his, he understood it all.

What turned him against the world, what changed the way the game was played, what made him face betrayal by everyone—these were all but her lies.

Even if she had not revealed it, as the world's grudge against him deepened, even if Deceiving the Heavens to Cross the Sea could hide his identity from Heaven's Secret, the moment he encountered these Return to Void cultivators, they would see through him at a glance.

It wasn't that Jing Lixue deliberately wanted him to be the world's enemy; it was that he was destined to be, and had already become, the world's enemy!

From the start, there was no Snow Emperor who desired to monopolize the world, confining him to Dawn City, just to be her companion; there was only a little beggar girl who held a dried pear, but could never bring herself to eat it to the end.

Games and reality are ultimately different after all.
