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

Although she had lived atop Sword Mountain since childhood and had already seen many majestic landscapes, when the scene before her unfolded, Liu Ruoxue was still visibly shocked.

As the two descended the long stairway, overgrown with green moss, the light of eternal, dim candles revealed an underground space so vast it was hard to believe.

Even with the divine sense and eyesight of someone at the Core Formation stage, she couldn't see the ceiling above.

"Space Skills."

Liu Ruoxue didn't need to recall to know that the depth of the stairs couldn't possibly correspond with the height of this underground space before her.

After all, if one were to convert this deep underground space into reality, it would have probably hollowed out the entire mountain range beneath Dawn City.

So she immediately thought of Space Skills—the kind about which legends said could condense Mount Sumeru into a mustard seed.

However, she hadn't experienced the dislocation and dizziness associated with Spatial Teleportation.

This could only be possible with a transportation portal created by high-level Space Skills.

But this wasn't what astonished her most; what really surprised her was the enormous stone statue in front of the deep underground space. Experience tales with empire

While it was said to be a statue, Liu Ruoxue felt it wasn't carved by man, but rather looked like a giant turned to stone.

"Legends say that demons come in hundreds of shapes and forms, some are born formless and known as Heart Demons; others are towering and strong, able to grasp the sun and moon and pluck stars from the sky with ease, and they are known as Giant Demons.

During that historical war, the majority of the Demon Clan were Giant Demons, which is why Dawn City has a No-Fly Formation and why they had to build such high city walls."

Xu Yuan explained softly.

Liu Ruoxue looked at the giant as if it were sleeping, and quietly clenched her fist. Although she wasn't familiar with the lost history Xu Yuan mentioned, she still recognized the description of the Demon Clan from fragments of ancient epics; this was why she hadn't objected when Xu Yuan was first mistaken for an Outer Domain Demon.

Xu Yuan, looking at the space before him, didn't breathe a sigh of relief but became even more vigilant.

Although he had advanced knowledge of the plot, he was still unsure about the trials ahead.

After all, the success in the previous game plot relied on Tao Yaoyao's simulator, and now, he hadn't encountered the demons and naturally wouldn't meet Tao Yaoyao.

Just then, he felt a cool, delicate touch on his hand—Liu Ruoxue had suddenly grabbed it.

"What's wrong, Ruoxue?"

The dim light made it hard to see Liu Ruoxue's face clearly, but the blush on her ears revealed her embarrassment.

Although they had already been intimate, the relationship between them had always been one in which Xu Yuan took the initiative and Liu Ruoxue followed.

When Lin Qingque, previously, asked him to help her pin up her hair ornament, it was an extreme rarity for her to make such a proactive request.

"There are Space Skills here; we need to be careful. I'm afraid we'll be separated."

As he turned to look at her, Liu Ruoxue focused, the flush that had spread across her face now gone, leaving no trace of panic on her exquisite, serene features.

One must admit, a woman is indeed a born actor.

Xu Yuan did not expose her act, but simply held her hand tighter and led her deeper into the space.

Chill and silence enveloped the area, setting the mood of their surroundings.

As they walked, dust and cobwebs came flying at them.

But they were unaffected, shielded by a barrier of Spiritual Power.

Liu Ruoxue was interlocking fingers with Xu Yuan on one hand, and tightly gripping the ancient sword Ruoshui with the other.

The cool, moon-like gleam of the sword lit the path ahead.

Seeing Xu Yuan hurry ahead with apparent disregard for potential dangers, Liu Ruoxue reminded him with a grave expression, "Xu Yuan, we should still be cautious. If this place truly houses the Four Divine Beasts Formation as you say, then the protective measures here are surely fraught with peril. I've probed countless times with my divine sense but have not sensed even a ripple of Spiritual Power. The formations here could be just as well-hidden as the Space Formation we encountered earlier.

Moreover, I even suspect that this demon in front of us isn't dead."

"Indeed, it isn't dead."

Hearing her words, Xu Yuan stopped in his tracks, and looking up at the towering Giant Demon, he calmly revealed an astonishing truth.

"What?!"

Liu Ruoxue was taken aback, her eyes wide as she turned to him.

"This Giant Demon is one that the human and demon races trapped here with the Four Divine Beasts Formation during the counter-attack battle.

After the war, instead of executing it, they signed a contract with it, binding it to guard this place for a billion years.

It is tasked with slaying anyone who's not of the royal bloodline who attempts the trial. And with its guardianship, it was not necessary to establish any other formations here.

After all, any formation, regardless of its strength, will inevitably lose its power as the years pass."

Liu Ruoxue's lips parted slightly, and the usually cool and distant expression on her face made her look a bit naive and cute.

"Then, should we still...?"

"Don't worry,"

Xu Yuan chuckled softly, "Although it is supposed to slay anyone not of the royal lineage, if we pass the trial, it will still let us proceed."
