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

"If that's really the case,"

Xu Yuan pondered slightly and said, "then the nature of your relationship might only be known to the two of you."

"Possibly."

Chu Bingyan slightly tilted her head, her face filled with solemnity, "If that's really the case, there's another matter that might be even more terrifying."

"The death of the previous Divine Emperor."

Xu Yuan, who had not paid much attention to this aspect before, was suddenly shocked.

"Heavenly Machine Tower has always refrained from getting involved in struggles for succession, remaining loyal only to the reigning Divine Emperor. If that mysterious person is really Jing Lixue, then I had had contact with her even before the death of the previous Divine Emperor."

"But such a thing is almost impossible."

Chu Bingyan's small hands clenched tightly, her knuckles turning somewhat white.

"So, there are three possibilities. One, the previous Divine Emperor's time of death was not six days ago; second, it was by the Divine Emperor's decree; third, you indeed violated the rules of Heavenly Machine Tower, and even the Divine Emperor's death is related to you."

"True, but the second point is almost impossible."

Chu Bingyan squinted her eyes, tensed her small face, resembling a seriously acting kitten. Although her expression was severe, it was too cute on that face, diminishing any sense of tension.

Xu Yuan, suppressing the urge to pat her head, nodded as well: "The previous Divine Emperor had a strong desire to control power, which is why Dawn City was able to contend with the eight top Sects and even suppress them."

"Right."

Chu Bingyan rested her chin in her hand, her eyes gleaming beneath the black cloth.

"So, it must be either the first or the third scenario."

Xu Yuan looked at her.

In this situation, he was almost certain that the mysterious person was Jing Lixue.

Still, he couldn't understand her reasons for doing so.

Setting aside her knowledge of the plot development, the reason she acted this way was what Xu Yuan wanted to know.

Furthermore, did she know just this segment of plot development, or did she know what was going to happen next?

If she knew all of it, then did that mean... she had already guessed his purpose in seeking the Four Divine Beasts Formation?

No, such a thing isn't confusing.

She had definitely guessed it.

'If I were her, what would I do?'

Xu Yuan closed his eyes, trying to recall all of Jing Lixue's actions in the previous game and imagining himself in her shoes.

"If I were her, I would act as if I knew nothing, do nothing... and then let 'me' act. After 'I' had obtained the Four Divine Beasts Formation, I would reveal this news to the eight major Sects, forcing Xu Yuan into a desperate situation, and finally leave him no choice but to seek her help,"

"Then, the Qiushui Shengong, which could be influenced by Tian Liuli, 'my' originating from Heavenly Dao Sect, Heavenly Machine Tower, and even the Sword Sect, these four major Sects closely related to me, she would have planned well in advance to stand against me."

Xu Yuan grew more alarmed the more he thought about it.

Because if that was really the case, thinking inversely, then this indicates that within the eight major Sects, there were at least four that had a direct or indirect relationship with Jing Lixue.

"Looking at it now, Jing Lixue's actions align almost exactly with what I thought, except for one point."

Xu Yuan still wore a smile on the surface, but his heart was incredibly heavy.

"She took the initiative to reveal to me that she knew about the plot."

"So, what is her purpose for doing so?"

Xu Yuan's mind began to recollect everything he had experienced after arriving in Dawn City.

Jing Lixue was a woman who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

This, Xu Yuan was very certain of.

If we talk about cunning and depth, she was definitely the deepest of the five deranged female leads.

She would never do unnecessary work in anything.

After all, the production team had given her the highest intelligence rating among the deranged types, specifically the isolated inducive type.

If Xu Yuan hadn't played this game hundreds of times already, he might have been deceived by her appearance, thinking even at the brink of doom that it was his fault, not Jing Lixue's.

"So, the reason she revealed it... Is the flaw that bottle of enchantment medicine?"

Xu Yuan recalled the cause that had brought their relationship to such a stage.

"No matter how strange the things Jing Lixue does, the starting point of her actions towards me is always to drive me into despair."

"Then... what is the purpose of making me and Chu Bingyan do such a thing? Thinking the game's difficulty is too low, and simply handing her over to me? Impossible, she isn't the kind of person who likes to do such things, to push Heavenly Machine Tower against me?"

After all, if not for his unique physique, his current relationship with Chu Bingyan would probably not be good.

"That is possible, but Heavenly Machine Tower is already under her control; there's simply no need for redundant actions."

Xu Yuan looked around the room.

When he saw the mirror on the vanity, his heart suddenly jumped.

An association flashed through his mind like lightning, then connected with the suspicions in his mind.

"That's it."

Xu Yuan felt increasingly burdened; if he hadn't noticed anything, he might indeed end up exactly as Jing Lixue had envisioned.

"Even if I obtained the Four Divine Beasts Formation and opposed the eight great Sects, for me, it still wouldn't be the true desperation. Tian Liuli, Lin Qingque, both of them possess great Fate; I might not choose to depend on her."
