After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 108

Before this, Tang Huairou’s impression of Xiao Yueqing had actually not been very good.

After all, who would have any favorable feelings toward a great demon lord?

But after meeting Xiao Yueqing today, Tang Huairou suddenly dismissed her previous thoughts.

She suddenly felt that Xiao Yueqing was actually quite decent. At least judging from his temperament, he should be quite good-looking.

She smiled again and greeted Xiao Yueqing.

“Cousin, we haven’t had a proper chance to meet before. Now that we have this moonlit evening, why don’t we have a good chat?”

However, Xiao Yueqing let out a cold laugh and asked her in return, “Was it your idea to call me here today, or that person’s idea? You called me here to actually matchmake you with me, didn’t you?”

Tang Huairou naturally wouldn’t admit it was her suggestion.

But in reality, the ones who first proposed it were Tang Zhuo and Qi Pei.

She had merely volunteered herself.

“Cousin, how can you think of me that way? Your cousin just feels that we haven’t seen each other in so many years and wants to catch up with you properly. Yet you think of me as that kind of person.”

How could Xiao Yueqing not understand that Tang Huairou was clearly lying?

He was extremely familiar with Tang Huairou. At least when he was Yan Ke, he had been pestered by Tang Huairou for three years, so of course he knew what her true nature was like.

However, he did find this person quite miraculous. After suffering setbacks with Yan Ke, she had actually set her sights on him.

It seemed that the Tang Sect had truly fallen into complete decline now.

Xiao Yueqing toyed with the teacup in his hand, saying carelessly, “I didn’t know the Tang Sect had become like this. It seems they’ve declined much more than before, to actually come seeking a marriage alliance with a great demon lord like me. This is truly something I never expected.”

“Cousin, you’ve already seen what they’re like now. Grandfather and Grandmother actually just hope that you can help them at this time.

The Tang Sect’s status in the jianghu isn’t what it used to be, and Uncle is also incompetent, so Grandfather and Grandmother are very anxious. Uncle’s son, Tang Aotian, is also not much good. These two father and son together aren’t as capable as you.

I know that Cousin has led Tianqing Manor alone and done really well, so Grandfather and Grandmother want to ask Cousin for this favor.”

Xiao Yueqing had actually already guessed that Tang Zhuo and Qi Pei’s purpose in calling him here was not pure.

However, he hadn’t expected that the Tang Sect had now declined to this extent, to actually think of seeking a marriage alliance with a great demon lord like him.

But the fact that the marriage partner chosen was Tang Huairou, rather than Tang Qi’s other two daughters, did make Xiao Yueqing quite curious.

He didn’t believe there wasn’t Tang Huairou’s own handiwork in this.

Because Xiao Yueqing knew that Tang Huairou’s current status was very awkward, whether at Mingyue Manor or at the Tang Sect.

She urgently needed someone who could elevate her status and prevent others from looking down on her.

And he was the best candidate.

Because he had Tianqing Manor and powerful martial arts skills that ordinary people truly didn’t dare to offend.

Everyone in the jianghu feared him, yet didn’t dare act presumptuously before him. This was probably why these people had set their sights on him.

If it were many years ago, Xiao Yueqing would probably never believe, even unto death, that one day the sect that had once despised him would come seeking his help.

And the relatives who had once abandoned him would one day want to seek his protection and assistance.

“What if I don’t agree?”

Tang Huairou seemed to have already anticipated that she would be rejected.

Therefore, the instant Xiao Yueqing stood up, she scattered a handful of powder at him.

“Cousin, you can’t blame me for any of this. This is what Grandfather and Grandmother instructed me to do. I must capture you. If Cousin doesn’t want to take responsibility, the entire Tang Sect won’t let you off easily.

All I want is the identity of Tianqing Manor’s mistress. Everything else I can compromise on. If you like someone, you can bring her in as a concubine or whatever.”

Who knew that Xiao Yueqing was completely unmoved, seemingly not afraid in the slightest.

Lightly twisting the powder between his fingertips, Xiao Yueqing suddenly laughed heartily.

“Tang Huairou, hasn’t anyone told you that I’m immune to all poisons? Your Passion Intoxication has no effect on me whatsoever. You’d better keep it for yourself.”

With that, Xiao Yueqing raised his hand and swept his wide sleeve. The powder that had originally landed on him was completely swept onto Tang Huairou’s body.

This is bad! Tang Huairou cried out in alarm, but she had already inhaled all the powder.

She could only raise her hand and point at Xiao Yueqing, saying, “Xiao Yueqing, for treating me this way, I definitely won’t let you off easily. I’m going to kill you.”

Xiao Yueqing wasn’t someone who was easily frightened.

He had always been someone who repaid grudges. This Passion Intoxication could only be left for Tang Huairou herself; he had no fortune to partake of it.

Moreover, the matter of her using Passion Intoxication on Yun Dan—he hadn’t yet settled accounts with her for that.

Now that she had set her sights on him again, naturally all old and new scores would be settled together.

Taking advantage of Tang Huairou’s inattention, Xiao Yueqing sealed her acupoints, picked her up, and threw her into Tang Aotian’s room.

After doing all this, he turned and left the courtyard.

“Tang Huairou, Tang Aotian, neither of you are any good. You’re two people who are birds of a feather. I’ve actually helped you both out. Don’t you want to marry a so-called cousin? Then I’ll give you a chance. After all, Tang Aotian is also your cousin.”

She only said she wanted to marry a cousin.

But she never specified which cousin.

Xiao Yueqing had actually already roughly found out where the Tang Sect’s treasure map was specifically located. However, that mechanism required two people working together to open it, and it wasn’t at the Tang Sect.

Because it required yin and yang complementarity, he had to bring Yun Dan along to open the mechanism. It seemed it was time to take Yun Dan and leave the Tang Sect.

However, when Xiao Yueqing arrived at Yun Dan’s room, he discovered it was empty, and there was a teacup that had fallen to the ground.

Xiao Yueqing inwardly exclaimed in alarm. He feared someone had secretly taken Yun Dan away.

“Damn it, who the hell stole my girl right under my nose?”

The tea was still warm, so Xiao Yueqing could judge that the person who took Yun Dan shouldn’t have gone very far.

Fortunately, he also had some forces in this Bashu, so Xiao Yueqing sent those people to search for Yun Dan’s whereabouts together.

About an hour later, a subordinate finally found a clue.

“Master, this subordinate has found a lead on Miss Yun. It’s related to the Helan family of Bashu. During the day, Miss Yun seemed to have had a conflict with the eldest daughter of the Helan family, and this subordinate also discovered the Helan family’s special incense outside Miss Yun’s room.”
