Great Love Immortal Venerate: Why are all my fairies yandere?-Chapter 282 - : 164. Win Over_2

Chapter 282: 164. Win Over_2

Xu Yuan knew she hoped he would give her a way out, but he deliberately chose not to.

It wasn’t because he still harbored resentment for past issues, what was more important was that he wanted to test whether the Ancient Goddess had taken part in the conspiracy against him.

Even though, during the last simulation, when they encountered each other in the Immortal Court, the Ancient Goddess took the initiative to greet him, which did not seem like the behavior of someone involved.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to approach him.

But what if she intentionally wanted him to think that way?

“The order of the Immortal Emperor?”

The Ancient Goddess said with a laugh born of fury, “Since you claim it’s the Immortal Emperor’s order, where is his edict?”

“I forgot to bring it, but doesn’t the Goddess trust me?”

Xu Yuan said with a smile that was not quite a smile, looking at her.

“Since it is not present, then… I am afraid I cannot comply.”

The Ancient Goddess said coldly.

“Is that so?”

From her reaction, Xu Yuan could roughly confirm that she probably was not involved.

If she were, she would have handed it over by now to avoid angering him.

Observing Xu Yuan’s reaction, the Ancient Goddess also felt that something was off.

Previously, when Xu Yuan came to demand the ownership of the Formation, she hadn’t taken it too seriously.

After all, he was the second most important person in the entire Immortal Realm, unless he had gone mad and planned to betray the Immortal Realm, it was impossible for him to do anything detrimental to the Immortal Court, or one might say, for him, he could already go anywhere within the Immortal Court.

So, even if the Formation ownership was given to him, it wouldn’t matter.

But now, it seemed that things were not as simple as she had imagined.

Could it be that he really had gone mad and wanted to betray the Immortal Realm?

The Ancient Goddess wanted to test further, but in the next moment, the voice that came from beyond the hall’s doors made her complexion involuntarily change.

“Is the Ancient Goddess present? I have a matter to discuss.”

Upon hearing this voice, Xu Yuan was first taken aback, then a strange expression appeared on his face.

Beyond the hall doors enveloped by the Formation, a vast darkness surged like a tide, and a smiling young man stood in the void.

“The Dark Night Immortal Lord? Why has he come?”

A smile curled at the corner of Xu Yuan’s mouth.

He had a rather deep impression of this Dark Night Immortal Lord, one of the first of the Three Immortal Lords to block him during the last simulation.

Only, he hadn’t expected there seemed to be quite a history between the two.

The Ancient Goddess’s eyes flickered slightly, her lashes fluttering, and then, she looked at Xu Yuan and said,

“Divine Child, aren’t you leaving yet?”

“Leaving?”

Xu Yuan looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile and said lightly, “Why should I leave? After all, we should observe the proprieties of first come, first served, shouldn’t we? Shouldn’t the Goddess satisfy me first?”

“If the Dark Night Immortal Lord sees you in my bedchamber, aren’t you afraid of idle gossip?”

The Ancient Goddess took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the rage in her heart, and said.

“Then let him see, wouldn’t that solve the problem?”

Xu Yuan appeared composed.

In reality, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to leave, but rather that, though he had the realm and cultivation, he could not use any of it.

Slipping away under the eyes of the Dark Night Immortal Lord, he could not guarantee he wouldn’t be discovered.

“You?”

The Ancient Goddess was grinding her teeth.

The other party dared to gamble, but she did not, she had only just managed to dispel the suspicions of the Dark Night Immortal Lord and gain his trust.

If he were to see her and the Divine Child together in such circumstances, she wouldn’t dare to bet on how he would view her.

“Goddess?”

The Dark Night Immortal Lord outside had been waiting for a long time without a response from the Ancient Goddess, and displeasure had begun to show on his handsome face.

Logically, his realm was far superior to that of the Ancient Goddess, and even though she controlled the Immortal Court’s Formation and could perhaps be considered a match for him in combat power, the difference in their status was quite significant.

He had originally not wanted to inform her of the matter so soon, but a sudden thought gave him the impression that something was amiss.

So, despite himself, he deigned to come in person, only to be made to wait outside of the hall.

“I apologize, Lord Immortal Monarch, but today I suddenly made a breakthrough and am currently in seclusion.”

The Ancient Goddess had no choice but to say so.

For cultivators, especially those long-lived powerhouses like them, sudden insights and seclusion were common.

She wasn’t afraid of the Dark Night Immortal Lord’s suspicion.

“Retreat?”

The Dark Night Immortal Lord slightly furrowed his brows, “Why have a sudden enlightenment now? Not earlier, not later, but at this particular time.”

With a sweep of his sleeve, he said coldly, “Well, it doesn’t matter. My purpose here was merely to notify you. Take care of the Immortal Formation Authority Token. When the Divine Child’s birthday arrives, the Immortal Court’s great formation will be activated.”

This matter was indeed targeting him.

Hearing the words of the Dark Night Immortal Lord, Xu Yuan’s face revealed no significant ripples.

“…Yes.”

The Ancient Goddess’s heart jumped with shock, she stealthily glanced at Xu Yuan beside her and inwardly lamented.

As expected, the Immortal Court was stirring again.

In fact, since Xu Yuan’s attitude became apparent, she already had some suspicions in her heart.

But she didn’t expect the matter to be this serious.

One of the Three Immortal Lords, the Dark Night Immortal Lord, coming face to face with Xu Yuan, the next Immortal Emperor—wouldn’t the entire Immortal Court be shaken by this?

Only when the presence of the Dark Night Immortal Lord gradually faded away, and finally disappeared, did the Ancient Goddess slowly release a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Dark Night Immortal Lord hadn’t discovered them; otherwise, the two of them might be fighting right here and now.

“You understand what’s going on now, right?”

Xu Yuan looked towards the Ancient Goddess and said indifferently, “What about it? Have you made your choice on which side to stand?”

The Ancient Goddess felt a dryness in her throat.

If time could flow backwards, she really wished she could return to before.

When Xu Yuan had come to demand the Immortal Formation Authority Token, she should have handed it over to avoid getting herself involved.

But now…

The Ancient Goddess let out a wry smile.

“Your Highness, do I still have a choice?”

If she hadn’t been clear about the matter, then it might have been fine, but now that she knew, Xu Yuan would certainly not let her go easily.

“So long as I hand over the Formation Authority Token to you, that will suffice, right?”

As the Ancient Goddess spoke, her jade-like finger traced across the void, retrieving an ancient-looking token from it.

“You’re a smart person.”

Xu Yuan gave a faint smile, “Since you’re already seen as a traitor by the Dark Night Immortal Lord, why not just come and help me directly? What do you say?”

“…”

The expression on the Ancient Goddess’s face stiffened where she stood.

“Your Highness, isn’t this inappropriate?”

“What’s inappropriate about it?”

Xu Yuan’s eyes were brimming with mirth, “Surely, you wouldn’t want the entire Immortal Court to witness the scene of that beauty emerging from her bath just now, would you?”

The Ancient Goddess clenched her Jade Fist, anger flickering in her beautiful eyes, “To use such a thing to threaten, don’t you think you’re being too despicable for a Divine Child?”

“So, your answer is?”

Xu Yuan looked at her.

“There needs to be extra payment.”

The Ancient Goddess relaxed her hand, her tone indifferent, “When I worked for the Dark Night Immortal Lord, he gave me quite a few benefits.”

“That’s fine, what do you want? Just say it, and as long as I have it, I will give it to you,” Xu Yuan promised without hesitation.

After all, the simulation was ongoing, no matter how outrageous her demands, he wouldn’t mind.

“Just one thing…”

If Your Highness is worried I might betray you again, I can make a Heavenly Dao oath,” said the Ancient Goddess. “As long as Your Highness provides enough sincerity, unless it involves the risk of my demise, I will unconditionally stand on Your Highness’s side.”

“Good.”

Xu Yuan nodded.

Her willingness to go this far was already enough.

…

Upon leaving the Ancient Goddess’s sleeping chamber and waiting for a little longer, Rem emerged from the void.

“Your Highness, my apologies, I wasn’t sure that I could keep the Dark Night Immortal Lord deceived from such a close distance, so I had to temporarily step aside.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Xu Yuan waved his hand, taking her toward the secret treasury of the Immortal Court.

After the last reward from the simulator was given out, a sudden idea sprouted in his mind.
