Chapter 25 - A Yandere's Brain Circuit

"Ye Chen, we have to escape from here," the ancient beings conversed urgently. The soul inside the ring snapped Ye Chen back to attention with a grave tone.

"What do you mean, Master?" Ye Chen's anger still flared, clouding his thoughts, preventing him from understanding why he was standing there instead of confronting their enemy.

"That man is a monster! If we don't escape, a terrible fate awaits us," the soul inside the ring expressed sheer terror, a feeling it had never known before. It felt as if death itself had locked its gaze upon them.

"He's just Tian Shen, why worry?" Ye Chen couldn't sense the fear gripping his master, but he hesitated, glancing at Tian Xin, who stood nearby.

Tian Xin had a calmer expression than him, but if one looked deep into his eyes, he could see waves of murderous intent.

But Tian Xin didn't make a hasty move either, in fact, other than all the cells in his body and his intuition telling him to either kneel or run away with all his might, there was another reason for not making a move.

The reason was Tian Hua. Tian Xin was well-acquainted with her deceitful nature. Despite her provocative facade, he knew she was a virgin, having never allowed other men to touch her. She yearned to serve the era's greatest genius, and her recent acknowledgment of Tian Shen as her master raised eyebrows.

"Considering her character, it's improbable unless something significant changed in Tian Shen," Tian Xin frowned, though he sensed an overwhelming danger from Tian Shen.

"Old man Ming," Tian Xin spoke, and suddenly the void fractured, revealing an elderly figure.

"Young Master," Old Man Ming, tasked with protecting Tian Xin and a formidable True Immortal Realm being, acknowledged.

"Do you know what's happened to Tian Shen?" Tian Xin inquired sternly, sensing the situation was even more dire than he'd initially thought.

"Um Young Master," Old Man Ming hesitated. He'd received an unusual order from the family, not to interfere if Tian Shen sought to harm Tian Xin. Perplexed by the family's decision, he followed their directive.

But now, witnessing Tian Shen and the chaotic aura around him, he grasped the gravity of the situation.

"Speak," Tian Xin's tone grew colder. It was evident that the situation was more severe than he had anticipated.

"Chen Er, I don't know if he's the same Tian Shen or not, but that person is an extremely powerful monster. You can't match him right now! Do you remember the Primal Absolute Chaos Physique I explained to you? He's the Holder," the remaining soul urgently explained to Ye Chen how terrifying that young man was.

"He is the holder of the Primal Absolute Chaos Physique?" Ye Chen's face darkened. Despite his intentions to use the holder of that physique as a stepping stone, witnessing Tian Shen made him question if he could even measure up.

Instinctive fear coursed through him, the fear of a lower being in the presence of a higher being.

"Young Master, I have to inform you of something," a voice suddenly echoed in Ye Chen's mind.

"What's wrong?" Ye Chen was very familiar with this voice; it belonged to the person chosen by the sect to protect him.

Inside a lavish suite in the city's most exclusive inn, Tian Shen sat behind a wooden chair, gazing at Tian Yanyu with indifference. He hadn't allowed the other girls to enter.

"It's been a while since I've heard from you," Tian Shen remarked in a disinterested tone, sipping his tea.

"I've spent my time training and getting stronger so that I can reach my goal," Tian Yanyu replied, lowering her head but occasionally stealing glances at her extraordinary brother. She sensed the chaotic aura surrounding him.

"Oh? What goal?" Tian Shen inquired with a faint smile.

"To protect you, Brother Tian Shen," Tian Yanyu blushed, her face turning red as she confessed her goal.

"You have an interesting goal, but achieving it would require eternal practice, and in the end, you might still fall short," Tian Shen observed, unfazed by Tian Yanyu's aspirations.

Tian Shen was aware of Tian Yanyu's goal. "Do you know Ye Chen?" he asked casually.

"That perverted bastard? If not for his tricks, I would have killed or crippled him by now," Tian Yanyu expressed her disgust upon hearing Ye Chen's name.

Tian Yanyu could attack Ye Chen, even now, using secret and forbidden techniques from her past life. However, she chose to wait for the Immortal Emperor's inheritance before erasing Ye Chen from existence.

"Oh, really?" Tian Shen asked in a curious tone.

"What do you mean, Brother?" Suddenly, a bad prediction appeared in Tian Yanyu's mind, and she felt heartache. She could see that her brother didn't believe her words.

She even thought, what if her brother believed she was interested in his enemy? She knew that if her brother reached such a conclusion, the possibility of rebuilding her relationship with her brother would become almost zero.

"Well, I heard that you have a good relationship with Ye Chen, and he even calls you 'Yanyu.' Do you like him?" Tian Shen's tone turned a little cold, a nuance not lost on a Yandere.

Panic overcame Tian Yanyu as she sensed her brother's change in tone. She feared that her brother might think she had an interest in his enemy, jeopardizing their relationship.

"No, no, it's impossible. There's only Brother Tian Shen in my heart," she declared, forgetting their strained relationship in this life.

Tears of sadness and fear dripped from her eyes, she had lost her brother once and now it was possible to lose him again.

"Brother, please don't be upset with me, okay? I'll do whatever you want, forget it, I'll go and kill Ye Chen right now, and even if it's not enough, brother you can punish me however you want," Tian Yanyu even didn't think rationally anymore and she didn't even care anymore if her fight with Ye Chen could cause her to almost die.

She would never let her brother get angry with herWithout wiping away her tears, a sword directly appeared in her hand and rose from the ground, her eyes containing a massive killing intent that could shake the world.

"Come here" Tian Shen was a little surprised and took her hand and pulled her into his arms

"Don't be so hasty, you are weaker than him, if you leave now, you will get hurt," Tian Shen said while wiping away her tears with his hands.

"Brother" Tian Yanyu happily nestled on his lap and rested her head on his chest, she felt a sweetness in her heart as she saw that her brother was worried about her.

"…"

Tian Shen, however, seemed puzzled by her actions. Yanderes only care about affection; as long as they felt loved, everything is normal but when that love Decreases, their dark side will appear

"Anyway, Brother, do you still love me? Aren't you angry with me anymore?" Tian Yanyu's eyes sparkled with hope as she gazed at her brother with a manic expression.

"Hmm, I naturally love my little Yanyu," Tian Shen replied in his usual tone.

"I will always be Brother's little Yanyu," Tian Yanyu declared with unwavering excitement and determination.

She was determined to elevate her brother's love for her beyond sibling affection, creating a legend of their love that would be remembered throughout history.

"Brother, why were those girls following you?" Tian Yanyu abruptly asked, emerging from her daydream.

"They are maids," Tian Shen replied simply.

"If they are maids, then you shouldn't be distressed by their deaths, right? The Immortal Emperor's Tomb is dangerous, filled with traps and terrifying monsters. It's not impossible for people like those three women to die suddenly and turn to dust," Tian Yanyu said in a strange tone, a mix of possession, concern, murderous intent, and a warped sense of justice.
