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

The fog surged, obscuring everything, including the once-blooming flowers and the tall, erect loquat trees in the courtyard, as if they had been devoured by the cold mist, leaving not even the sound of leaves rustling in the wind.

Xu Yuan always felt that something was not quite right.

Whether it was the fog right before his eyes or Jing Lixue.

He had been walking along this corridor with Jing Lixue for three hours, yet the corridor remained unchanged, stretching seemingly without an end.

And Jing Lixue, who had asked him to accompany her on this walk, seemed to be just walking for the sake of walking, paying no attention to the surrounding scenery.

Furthermore, he noticed that she carried a lantern when she came, and the fog, upon nearing the lantern, would curl and surge like pigskin on a hot plate. If there was a problem with the fog, then undoubtedly, there was also something suspicious about the lantern she held.

"Xu Yuan, it seems you've noticed?"

Jing Lixue seemed to have anticipated Xu Yuan's reaction.

"Indeed, this place is not reality, nor is it the real reality."

"Not the real reality?"

"Have you heard the legend of Sage Zhuang dreaming of the butterfly?"

Jing Lixue tilted her head to look at him, her side profile white as pear blossoms on a branch, emitting a faint halo under the illumination of the lantern, resembling exquisite, delicate porcelain.

"I've heard of it."

Xu Yuan nodded indifferently.

In the game "Yandere Fairy, Don't Kill Me", the sect design involved is inspired by real legends, naturally involving these famous figures.

"The precursor to the Heavenly Dao Sect was the oldest human sect - the Dao Sect. Later, due to ideological differences, the Dao Sect split into three branches: heaven, earth, and human. After a lengthy period, the Earth Dao and Human Dao branches gradually ceased to exist, leaving only the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Sage Zhuang was the last sage of the Dao Sect. In ancient times, there was a Divine Butterfly whose wings, when flapped, could stir up massive tornadoes inclusive of heaven and earth, wreaking havoc everywhere. Later, Sage Zhuang used the Dream Path to replace his own consciousness and eradicated it."

"The Dream Demon race was born from the corpse of that demon."

"Dream Demon?"

Xu Yuan was startled, then frowned in contemplation.

He was aware of such beings, though he recalled encountering such creatures in the ancient tombs of the demon race.

"Does it have something to do with the fog here?"

"Of course, the Dream Demon, also known as Mirage Demon, feeds on dreams and embodies fog. The fog before us, if my guess is correct, should be the body of a Dream Demon. Although they have long died, under the manipulation of their lingering spirits, their bodies can still induce dreams."

"..."

Xu Yuan nodded, "So, you mean, we are in a dream right now?"

"Yes and no."

Jing Lixue spoke gently, "We are currently in the vivid, dream-like fog emitted by the corpse of a Dream Demon, situated between reality and dreams. If the controller of this world wishes, then we are indeed in a dream; but if it does not, then we are not in a dream. In other words, the injuries they suffer can be a dream, but the injuries we suffer are definitely real."

"Is that not absurd?"

Xu Yuan was astonished.

"What else can it be?"

Jing Lixue shook her head, then softly added, "Dream Demons are just that kind of existence. Fortunately, not many remained after those times; otherwise, how could the human race have suppressed the demon race for so long? However, the dreams of Dream Demons are not impossible to break."

"Oh?"

"You just need to find the rift in its dream, or rather, the rift in your own dream. Following the rift, you can naturally escape."

As she spoke, her eyes shimmered and fell upon him.

"And the Dream Demons are dead, so..."

"So if we want to leave, we need to find the rift in my dream?"

Xu Yuan maintained a calm exterior, yet internally he had an inexplicable feeling.

He felt that these so-called Dream Demons were results of her deliberate release, and naturally, the purpose was for the rift in his dream.

"What exactly is a dream rift?"

As they walked through the fog, supporting columns on either side of the corridor emerged one by one. Unlike in reality, the originally red-painted columns were decayed and pale, as if the fog had stolen their color.

"It's the deepest secret in one's heart."

Jing Lixue narrowed her eyes, meaningfully glancing at him.

"It might be what he least wants to face, or perhaps... what he most desires. In any case, it is a secret from the deepest part."

"Only mine works, not yours?"

Xu Yuan asked again.

"There's nothing interesting in my heart, and besides, I would like to delve deep into your heart. Is that not okay?"

She smiled coyly.

Compared to her usual strategic demeanor, she now seemed to embody more of the innocence and liveliness proper to her age.

But Xu Yuan did not believe this was genuine.

If he truly believed her, he would surely regret it.

Unbeknownst to them, the distance between the two had closed significantly.

And whether intentionally or not, every time Jing Lixue spoke, she would tilt her head and lean in as if whispering secretly.

Hence, the warm, soft breath from her cherry lips brushed against his earlobe, inevitably causing his mind to wander.

"What about the others?"

To distract himself, he looked into the cold fog while nonchalantly asking.
