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

Chapter 72 70, are you ready to make an enemy of the world?

Heavenly Machine Tower, like Heavenly Dao Sect, Sword Sect, and Qiushui Shengong, was also one of the eight human Sects.

But unlike the other seven Sects' somewhat detached relationship with the royal family, Heavenly Machine Tower was subordinate to the royal family, pledging loyalty to the current Divine Emperor.

Indeed, they pledged loyalty only to the current Divine Emperor.

In other words, Xu Yuan was highly likely to have been targeted by the most influential person in the current human realm.

"No, if it were indeed the Divine Emperor of the current Great Scenic Dynasty, given his attitude towards the Outer Domain Demons, I should be dead by now; he would not have merely sent a few people from the Sword Sect to kill me."

Xu Yuan furrowed his brows, pondering deeply.

"Or could it be the last female lead to appear in the game, Princess Luoyang Jing Lixue, playing tricks?"

Princess Luoyang Jing Lixue, the ninth daughter of the current Divine Emperor, had been cast out into the commoners from a young age and had several encounters with him as a child.

In the original game plot, she appeared in the later stages, specifically during the 'Nine Children's Battle for Succession' episode. At that time, the Divine Emperor suddenly died, and the ten major Sects seized the opportunity to enter the city, intending to take control of Dawn City. She was the princess bet on by the protagonist representing the Heavenly Dao Sect.

At that time, all the Sects scoffed at the Heavenly Dao Sect for claiming to act in heaven's will but in reality, they were going against it. This could be inferred from the title given to Jing Lixue, indicating the attitude of the Divine Emperor and the then Great Scenic Dynasty towards her.

However, after receiving help from the Heavenly Dao Sect, Jing Lixue managed to drastically shake up the entire situation through countless overt and covert schemes in a very short period of time. Meanwhile, she seized control of the most crucial Four Divine Beasts Formation in Dawn City, eventually becoming the first female emperor.

Later, she cleverly utilized various coincidences to trap the protagonist in a morally ambiguous situation, turning him into an enemy of humanity—not to kill him but to push him into a life-and-death predicament. In the end, she appeared before him like a beam of light, using her own life to save him, touching him deeply.

Initially, Xu Yuan also thought this female lead was not a 'yandere' and did not notice anything amiss, until after playing several times, he began to sense the incongruities.

At that time, he had several close chances to achieve a harem ending, but each time, she quietly thwarted these outcomes without a trace.

This was also why he chose Jing Lixue the least number of times.

After learning that the source of information was leaked from Heavenly Machine Tower, Xu Yuan's first suspect was also her.

"Her cheat code... aside from that unfathomable stratagem, is the ability to rewrite life patterns."

Innate Supreme Bone, Fair Wind Ears to distinguish loyalty and evil, Saintly Eyes to perceive yin and yang, Shennong's Nose to smell thousands of herbs, Linglong Mouth to hold the spiritual treasure... these are now her life patterns.

With this ability, she transformed her mortal body into an abomination even more exaggerated than the innate chaos yin-yang body painstakingly created by Tian Liuli.

"But, looking at the timeline, Jing Lixue shouldn't have been back to Dawn City for long. Can she now persuade Heavenly Machine Tower, known to only act on the Divine Emperor's orders?"

Regrettably, the Master of Yin Peak did not know much.

Xu Yuan struggled to pin down precisely who was behind it all based on this information.

And there was another problem...

Even if he now knew that Heavenly Machine Tower was behind the tricks, he didn't have a good way to deal with it.

The main building of Heavenly Machine Tower... no one knew where it was.

Liu Ruoxue, standing beside him, watched his contemplative mood, her clear and beautiful eyes twinkling slightly.

Since leaving the Purple Bamboo Sword Hut, Xu Yuan had worn such an expression.

He must be thinking about how to deceive me now, right?

But she knew well what the three words 'Heavenly Machine Tower' meant.

"He really is an Outer Domain Demon."

She sighed softly in her heart.

The wind from the Cloud Sea swept up her hair.

That always cool and indifferent face, at this moment, unexpectedly showed unmistakable loneliness and disappointment.

"Fairy Liu, let's go," he said. "I will take you to solve the riddle."

Xu Yuan did not notice her expression.

...

What Xu Yuan did not know was that after he had left,

within the Purple Bamboo Sword Hut,

that graceful and charming shadow sighed leisurely.

The next moment, her jade fingers lightly plucked, pinching a letter between them. The plain white paper ignited silently, burning until it turned to ash.

As the paper burned out, at the same moment, in Dawn City, the girl in the green pleated long dress opened her eyes thoughtfully.

"Hehe, as I had guessed, the Sword Sect poses no difficulty for you at all," she stretched lazily, murmuring softly. "Xu Yuan, I wonder... when you find out that I can take down the entire Dawn City at any moment, what will your reaction be?"

Sitting in a wheelchair, the girl veiled with black cloth asked softly behind her, "Your Highness, since you wish him to walk into the trap, why didn't you just tell him the news spread by Heavenly Machine Tower at the beginning?"

"People usually do not believe too easily in information that is too readily available. Only secrets obtained through arduous experience do they treasure and fully believe in."

Jing Lixue propped up her chin, her eyes twinkling with a lively glow.

In her eyes, an ethereal book visible only to herself seemed to breathe, radiating light, and on its page were written four pale golden characters—Born Knowing This.

"Even so, once he receives the information, the game begins for Your Highness. Isn't he likely... to suspect it's a trap?"

"He will, to be precise, no matter what I do, as long as the story changes, he will always have suspicions, but... it doesn't matter; he will surely come."

"Why?"

"Because, I am here," Jing Lixue said with a smile. "The Four Divine Beasts Formation of Dawn City, he will definitely try everything to obtain it... so he will surely come, and surely come looking for me."

"By the way, speaking of which, Yan'er, have you practiced playing the flute as I asked?"

She suddenly seemed to remember something and casually asked.

"Prepared, and I have practiced playing the flute, but... Your Highness, is it really playing the flute?"

Yan'er responded with a soft, wry smile.

The capricious princess had asked her to practice a flute-playing technique, which involved taking one end of the Jade Flute into her mouth and repeatedly pulling it in and out.

It was less about playing the flute, and more about desecrating a Spiritual Treasure.

"You don't understand, anyhow... it will be good for you in the future, and with your frail body, the less you strain that other mouth, the better."

Jing Lixue remembered a scene she had glimpsed using her Future Sight Life Pattern, and shook her head faintly, rising tall.

On that flawless jade face, a seductive smile slowly emerged.

"Well, since everyone is in place, let us begin this grand play of princes' contest for the inheritance."

"Xu Yuan, are you... ready to make enemies of the world?"

She spread her arms, as if to embrace someone, and said.
