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

"Where did you two go last night?"

At that moment, her piercing gaze fell upon Xu Yuan and Liu Ruoxue.

"Master Uncle, we..."

Liu Ruoxue had just opened her mouth.

"Silence."

The purple-robed girl with white hair immediately stopped her, tapping on the armrest and scoffing, "You young people really dare to act recklessly, attacking a Heavenly Machine Tower outpost with just three people."

Tian Liuli and Lin Qingque simultaneously stepped forward half a step in secret, silently shielding Xu Yuan.

"Hmm, do you really think your disguises would work against Heavenly Machine Tower? It's fortunate that the Tower Master did not take it too seriously. Otherwise, if a Primordial Spirit realm cultivator were to act ruthlessly, did you really think you could have escaped?"

The purple-robed girl looked at Tian Liuli and Lin Qingque and said, "Although Sword Sect has no intention of becoming enemies with the sects behind you two, neither do we want to be dragged into your troubles. You two are not welcome here—Wind Butterfly, show them out!"

Clearly, she intended to shirk Liu Ruoxue and Xu Yuan's responsibility and place the onus on the two of them.

Tian Liuli and Lin Qingque's expressions changed, and they were about to act. They could take the blame, but not the dismissal.

Xu Yuan stopped them.

He shook his head slightly at them, then whispered, "You go first. I still have something to do here. Once I'm done, I'll come and meet up with you."

Tian Liuli narrowed her eyes slightly, "Are you sure you don't need me to stay?"

"Don't worry, I'm confident."

Xu Yuan chuckled softly and reached out to touch her head.

"Trust me."

The moment his hand reached out, Tian Liuli's eyebrows instinctively furrowed, wanting to dodge but restraining herself.

Yet, even so, she appeared quite resistant.

After all, she was a supreme being from the Immortal Realm, not some creature to be trifled with.

Being publicly pat on the head—how disgraceful was that?

"What are you doing? Do you see me as a pet?"

Tian Liuli furrowed her brows tightly, having made up her mind.

She didn't understand why he suddenly opted for such an action.

If he couldn't provide a satisfactory explanation for his unexpected behavior, she would definitely make him suffer next time.

Although her title of "this seat" slipped out, her expression was terrifyingly fierce, just like an angered lioness.

Yet Xu Yuan appeared quite composed.

Of course, this composure was also a façade, as he was somewhat anxious inside.

After all, such an affectionate gesture as a head pat was best suited for someone like Lin Qingque with a soft and cute demeanor; imposing it on someone with a strong personality like Tian Liuli might provoke her dislike, possibly leading to resentment towards him.

Xu Yuan wasn't entirely sure of it.

The reason he acted so impulsively wasn't out of any strategic calculation, but rather a spontaneous idea.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He wanted to test if these small gestures could, over time, subtly shift the power dynamics between him and Tian Liuli.

Although Tian Liuli would help him and listen to his words, it was only because she deemed it acceptable after contemplation.

Given her personality, their relationship was definitely still more dominant on her side.

Thus, he started with submissive and assertive actions to probe, hoping to subtly adjust their hierarchical relationship.

Even if he failed and incited her anger and discontent,

he could use the excuse of reluctance to part during their separation to mask it.

"I merely wanted to personally put the hairpin on you."

Xu Yuan neatly combed her hair with his fingers, then took the hairpin from her.

Then, he stepped forward, his hands circling the sides of her head, tying her lush, ebony hair into a Ruyi Hair Bun and gently inserting the plum blossom white jade hairpin. Though the style was simple, it exuded a fresh and elegant charm.

Due to his sudden movements, the other two hadn't reacted until now, Lin Qingque at Tian Liuli's side clenched her delicate hands, her nails almost digging into her flesh, her smile gradually turning cold.

If it weren't for what she and he had just done, she would have already burst out.

But she still didn't understand why her senior brother had acted this way, especially since he had told her on the way back this morning while holding her that their interactions with the other two were merely a show.

Why then, would he now make such a gesture toward her?

Lin Qingque felt as if something precious had been stolen from her.

An action like a head pat, her senior brother had never done to anyone else, only to her.

But now, he actually did it in front of her, to another woman?

For her, wasn't that a kind of...

Xu Yuan and Lin Qingque exchanged a glance only momentarily, seeming to understand each other's thoughts instantly.

He didn't panic, but while Tian Liuli wasn't looking, he quietly stroked Lin Qingque's face, giving her a look that said, "I'm just putting on a show, don't overthink it."

Liu Ruoxue, watching this scene, felt an inexplicable wave of sadness, her hand involuntarily tightening at her chest.

How could he do this? Had he forgotten about her?

The Purple-Robed girl with white hair, observing his practiced movements, appeared somewhat dumbfounded.
