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

```

Dawn broke.

It was only after Yun, swaying her waist, leaning on the wall to walk out, that Liu Ruoxue, who had been standing between the cliffs and listening all night at the corner of the wall, finally opened her eyes. Yet, that face as pure as snow and as exquisite as jade still had a hint of crimson left on her cheeks.

She never thought that a woman could make such lascivious sounds or utter such vulgar, unbearable words.

As she listened, she felt her own legs beginning to rub together unconsciously, and a sense of unspeakable pleasure and restlessness started to flood her heart.

So she had no choice but to close her eyes and listen with her ears to them.

It made her blush and her ears turn red, so she simply closed her eyes and blocked her ears in the middle of the night, only occasionally daring to sneak a peek.

Otherwise, she feared she might lose control as well.

Liu Ruoxue's white robe trembled slightly, and after shaking the dew off her sleeves, she dashed away like a bird soaring through the sky.

In the following days, the outcomes of the contests remained nearly unchanged.

In front of Xu Yuan, there was hardly an opponent who could last a single round.

Until...

"At last, I've met you."

Liu Ruoxue's beautiful eyes quietly stared at the young girl in front of her, yet in her mind, it was still that handsome young man she whispered about.

To the common eye, this fight might have seemed just another ordinary competition. After all, to decide the ten representatives from Yin Peak, points were what mattered, and with both of their scores, securing a spot in the top ten was a piece of cake.

This contest wouldn't change the final allocation of spots, but for the two of them, it was an extraordinary battle.

"I too have been waiting for this day, for a long time," Xu Yuan said with a faint smile.

"This sword... its name is Ruoshui, inspired by the notion of 'Supreme Goodness is like water, sustaining all things without striving'."

Liu Ruoxue lowered her eyelids, but then she fell silent, not speaking further, and instead drew her sword and gently caressed it with her fingers. As she stroked the sword, a sound like a dragon's long cry began to echo faintly.

As she fell silent, Xu Yuan felt a gaze from the top of Sword Peak falling upon them in the arena.

As if unaware of anything, he drew his own sword and softly intoned, "The sword's name is Thunderfire, specialized for slaying Minotaurs."

"?"

Liu Ruoxue frowned slightly, not quite understanding, but she didn't think further and simply pointed her horizontal sword at him indifferently.

Her gaze and the blade itself rippled out like waves on water, bestowing a sense of serenity upon onlookers.

The name of the sword is Ruoshui, and the wielder is also like water.

The next moment, she had appeared silently in front of him.

Xu Yuan's pupils constricted, and without the slightest hesitation, he gripped his sword with both hands and forcefully brought it down in a heavy chop.

Clang!

At the moment the swords met, sparks scattered in every direction.

At the same time, Xu Yuan struggled to resist the immense force transmitting through the blade, violently trembling the sword for a moment before spinning in the air and taking several steps to dissipate the force.

Liu Ruoxue, on the other hand, raised the tip of her toe and took a step back. As her toes touched down, they lightly tapped and immediately the stone surface rippled like a body of water, cracking into countless fissures.

Then, she had already resolved the massive force. Her heel hit the ground, a pause, a turn, and then leveraging that force, she launched another attack, her sword's brightness erupting forth.

Xu Yuan's face was expressionless as he opened his mouth and once again unleashed the Jade Foot Sword Qi.

Seeing the sparkling tear-shaped White Jade Sword Qi raining down towards her, Liu Ruoxue's usually placid face betrayed a flicker of agitation, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly in inexplicable irritation.

"Swordsmanship, Heart As Still Water."

```

She positioned the sword in front of her, her jade fingers fluttering as she formed one seal gesture after another.

As the seal took shape, a water mirror resembling a lake's surface also extended into appearance before her.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Thud, thud, thud!

Just like pebbles dropping into a lake, the overwhelming Jade Foot Sword Qi that struck the water surface Sword Shield was immediately eroded by the vast Sword Qi within it and gently dispersed.

The audience below, watching the battle, let out an exclamation of surprise; they hadn't expected the fight to become so fierce from the outset.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan did not seem too surprised.

After all, the Jade Foot Sword Qi was, in the end, a Sword Form hastily conceived under Tian Liuli's favor. If he expected it to finish her off, it would be an understatement of her abilities.

His true aim was to use it to force Liu Ruoxue into a situation where she could not use Sword Control.

Everyone knew that disciples of the Sword Sect generally practiced both long-range and close-quarter combat but mainly focused on the art of slaying enemies from a distance with Sword Control. Their prowess in close-quarter combat within three feet was largely a weakness.

Xu Yuan had no strengths to speak of, so his only chance to increase the odds of victory was to drag her into close-quarter swordsmanship—a weakness for her. Of course, there was another reason... the trap he had set for Liu Ruoxue would only be effective in close combat.

Therefore, as Liu Ruoxue was about to change her finger gestures, he seized the opportunity and transformed into a streak of sword light that shot towards her.

"..."

Realizing his intentions, Liu Ruoxue immediately sensed something wasn't quite right, though her eyes showed a trace of confusion, she still swung her sword in a horizontal slash.

In her view, this so-called close-quarter fight was simply a clash of Spiritual Power. The one with the higher cultivation would have the advantage.

If he used the same move, Throw You Rem, that he had against Wind Butterfly to determine the outcome of their battle, he might have stood a faint chance. However, he chose to abandon Spellcasting and engage in close combat with her. Was he not conveniently handing victory over to her?

Xu Yuan had already forsaken his most significant advantage, the Illusory Realm, and now he had even given up on Spellcasting.

What exactly was he thinking?

Soon, Liu Ruoxue understood the reason.

As she collided swords with Xu Yuan, harboring such doubts, and landed once more to stabilize herself, a slight tremor originating from beneath made her realize his strategy.

While the bell wasn't particularly large, it was still a bit too crowded compared to the cave. Therefore, he hadn't put it in too far, maintaining a tantalizingly ambiguous position.

During their first sword clash, she hadn't noticed much, but now, when she sensed that he was purposely transmitting that trembling force into her body, she understood his tactics.

Now, after another moment of transferring momentum, it even vibrated slightly, almost making a sound.

"Fang Yuan...?!"

Liu Ruoxue trembled, her fair cheeks flushing slightly. Her Master was observing the situation with Divine Sense, so it wasn't appropriate for her to say anything.

"You..."

Liu Ruoxue took a deep breath. Under the curious gaze of the audience below who did not understand her sudden outburst, she said somewhat through gritted teeth, "Very good... Very strong."

Only now did she finally understand the meaning of Xu Yuan's wager.

How laughable that she had actually thought it was for training purposes.

After finishing her sentence, she tightened her legs in fear of losing her balance.

"Overpraised, Senior Sister, you are quite impressive too," Xu Yuan said with profound meaning.

Did she think it was over?

Little did she know, he had not even started yet.
