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

Watching the departing figures, Zhong Sheng's face grew increasingly sullen, his jealousy almost driving him mad.

He realized that others never really took him seriously.

Even these servants looked down on him, relegating him to a decrepit woodshed and daring to boss him around?

Had it not been for the Formation here, and the mysterious Cultivator who had intervened during the previous incident,

Zhong Sheng would have already torn this place down.

It was all Xu Yuan's fault! He had stolen the spotlight!

Otherwise, his junior sister would not have spoken harshly to him, and that stunning Princess Luoyang would not have treated him with cold indifference.

He was the one who should have been enjoying all that!

Recalling how Xu Yuan had arrived with those twin sisters, an idea suddenly flickered through Zhong Sheng's eyes.

He would expose Xu Yuan's true nature and let everyone know that he was nothing but a lecher!

...

Jing Lixue's eyelids lowered, concealing the hint of amusement within her beautiful eyes as she languidly leaned back on the luxurious rosewood chair.

"Your Highness, the mission was accomplished without disgrace."

Not until Lan Mei strode into the room, pushing the door open and said, "We've thoroughly uncovered all the traitors."

"Hmm, Xu Yuan, always Xu Yuan."

She propped up her chin, as usual ignoring the two of them, and turned her attention to Xu Yuan, "What reward would you like? Feel free to tell me, for I can satisfy you, whatever the conditions may be, okay?"

After speaking, she deliberately winked at him.

"Thank you for your generous affection, Your Highness."

In the gaze of Lan Mei and Lin Qingque, Xu Yuan replied without a change in expression, "Then please take our discussion of important matters seriously, Your Highness."

"Okay then."

Jing Lixue waved her hand with a look of disinterest, "Since that's the case, would the Immortal of Heavenly Dao Sect mind discussing your plans with us?"

"This time, the death of the previous Divine Emperor was overly mysterious, yet investigating the cause of death is not the most crucial matter. With the eight Sects entering the city and the struggle for succession among the nine dragons,"

Lan Mei took a deep breath and said softly, "Without the support of a Sect, it is nearly impossible to seize the throne. In other words, what Your Highness needs to be wary of are the other princes and princesses who have the backing of the top eight Sects, while Heavenly Machine Tower maintains its neutral stance. This means, we only need to be cautious of six princes."

"Their subordinates are said to include Loose Cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage."

Jing Lixue smiled and said, "If we talk about combat power, it doesn't seem likely, does it?"

"Your Highness may not be aware."

Lan Mei, with a focused expression, spoke, "As early as yesterday, three other princes and princesses had suddenly died, only it has been kept quiet during the period of national mourning."

"Oh, is that so."

Jing Lixue nodded in understanding, "Then it seems I ought to thank the Immortals of Heavenly Dao Sect."

"It's just a matter of mutual benefit, Your Highness need not worry, when you ascend the throne, we will not overly interfere with your decision-making."

"Heh."

Jing Lixue asked, "What about the other six princes? What do you plan to do with them?"

"You kill me, I kill you, and the last person standing is the victor?"

Her elegant and calm face was filled with laughter, as if this was a very amusing matter.

"Of course not, each family has their secret technique for killing. If we were to keep killing each other, when would it end? By the end, I fear that even the True Persons of Primordial Spirit would take action, and then it would truly be a calamity of war."

Lan Mei shook her head and said, "At such a time, it's all about the skills and tactics of each highness. Whoever ascends the throne will do so based on their strength and prowess."

As she spoke these words, her gaze also fell on Jing Lixue, with a deep sense of puzzlement in her heart.

It was precisely because the eight major Sects had set the rules that she was all the more baffled as to why the Heavenly Dao Sect had chosen her as the one to back.

Whether it was government influence or popular reputation, Jing Lixue had no advantages to speak of.

"Oh, I see," Jing Lixue sighed. "But this palace has no power at all, what should I do?"

Lan Mei frowned, barely suppressing the impatience in her heart, and said, "Among the eight generals of Dawn City, General Xu, the Minister of Rites among the six ministers, as well as the Prime Minister, are all from the Heavenly Dao Sect. Your Highness may dispatch them at will."

Jing Lixue silently noted these names in her heart, with a hint of a smile on her face.

"It seems, still not enough," she mused.

"Concubine Liu, Concubine Qing, Left Commandant of the City Guards..."

Lan Mei then listed a dozen more names: "This is all the help our Heavenly Dao Sect can offer to Your Highness." Experience new tales on empire

The more she spoke, the more regretful she felt. With these individuals, picking any of the other princes or princesses would have been much better than Jing Lixue.

"Very well," Jing Lixue narrowed her eyes, her smile growing thicker. "However, I've heard that the next Palace Master of Qiushui Shengong is very close to Brother Xu Yuan. Why not bring Qiushui Shengong into this as well?"

"Private relationships are, after all, private relationships. We can't change the choices of Qiushui Shengong," Lan Mei said with a slight frown.

She didn't expect Jing Lixue to be so greedy.

"That's too bad," Jing Lixue sighed. "But I think I have a clearer picture now, thanks to the fairy."

"There's no need for thanks. Just remember the friendship of the Heavenly Dao Sect after Your Highness ascends the throne," Lan Mei said, feeling that Jing Lixue's words carried other implications but chose not to ponder further.

"This palace has always been grateful for favors received, and I certainly won't forget," Jing Lixue laughed again.

In time, she would have them all willingly retire one by one, which could be considered a proper conclusion.

She then stood up and said, "Well, now that the traitor has been eliminated and the major issues have been agreed upon, Brother Xu Yuan, we haven't seen each other for many years. How about taking a walk with me alone in the mansion?"

Xu Yuan, who was observing her expression to see if she knew about the matter of the twin sisters, Fenger and Linger, joining his side, was suddenly stiff with surprise.

He had never expected Jing Lixue to make such a request on her own initiative.

Could it be that she was dissatisfied with his recent response regarding the reward and was deliberately making this suggestion?

If he did not agree, recalling the earlier retaliation from Jing Lixue after he pretended not to recognize her in the morning, Xu Yuan felt a headache coming on.

But if he did agree... Feeling the sharp gaze of Lin Qingque silently fixed on him, Xu Yuan felt an equal headache.

Being alone with Jing Lixue, there was the problem of explaining himself to Lin Qingque as well.

Jing Lixue really knew how to pose challenging problems for him. Among the female protagonists, she was indeed the most cunning.

Lan Mei beside him also had her eyebrows knitted slightly deeper.

She had not expected this so-called Princess Luoyang to be so oblivious to the larger picture, thinking about these amorous matters all day at such a time. How could one achieve great things by collaborating with someone so preoccupied with lust?
