After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 121

Ye Bei thought again about how he had never interacted with women before, and wondered whether Yun Dan would be able to adapt to living in Changge Hall.

He looked around the courtyard—it did seem rather empty. He’d heard that ordinary women preferred more lively surroundings.

“Usually I’m the only one living in Changge Hall. I don’t know if you’ll be able to adapt after you arrive. I never had any thoughts of planting flowers or grass in this courtyard, but if you like, you can choose some flower seeds to plant here.”

Yun Dan surveyed her surroundings—it really was quite empty.

The last time she came here, she had complained that this place was too desolate. There was quite a lot of open space here. If she planted some flowers, that would be quite nice.

“Master, how about this—let me plant the flowers. I’d like some sunflower seeds. May I have some? I’m not very familiar with this place and don’t know who I should ask to get seeds.”

Sunflowers…

Ye Bei thought about it—there really didn’t seem to be anyone who could buy them.

He did need to go out in the next couple of days, so he might as well bring some back himself.

He then handed a sword to Yun Dan. “This is the Yuenu Sword. I don’t know what kind would suit you. I’ve had these swords for a long time but never had the chance to use them. Now that I’ve taken you as my disciple, it’s most appropriate to give it to you.”

Yun Dan quickly took the sword.

But inwardly she was thinking—she didn’t know martial arts, so holding a sword would only be good for showing off.

“Thank you, Master.”

Originally, Yun Dan had thought that her days at Changge Hall would be extremely boring and tedious, but after staying for a while, she discovered it wasn’t like that at all.

Ye Bei was probably someone who truly loved tranquility—most of the time he was in seclusion and didn’t come out.

After a few days, Ye Bei really did bring her a packet of sunflower seeds.

Looking at the seeds in her hand, Yun Dan felt happy for the first time.

Sunflowers were her favorite flowers. Unfortunately, she seemed to lack a green thumb—no matter what flowers she planted, they would die.

Yet she still loved planting flowers.

“Thank you, Master. I’ll go plant these seeds right away.”

Ye Bei took a sip of tea. He hadn’t known that some small seeds could make his disciple this happy.

Since Yun Dan became his disciple, Ye Bei had truly tasted many things he had never eaten before.

Moreover, Yun Dan was very tactful and never deliberately came to disturb him, which made Ye Bei feel deep down that he hadn’t taken the wrong disciple.

“As long as you like it.”

Originally, he had no interest whatsoever in things like planting flowers. Everything at Changge Hall had been planted by other disciples helping out, even that small bamboo grove.

But watching Yun Dan earnestly digging in the soil, he found himself becoming interested too.

He slowly walked to Yun Dan’s side and said, “I didn’t know that some flower seeds could make you this happy. If you like them, we can plant more flowers and plants at Changge Hall in the future.”

Yun Dan wiped her sweat and said, “That works. After all, Changge Hall is so large—it would really be a waste not to plant something. And when flowers bloom everywhere here, it will seem much livelier too.”

He had never interacted with a woman like this before.

But watching Yun Dan’s smile, the corners of Ye Bei’s mouth also unconsciously turned up.

Taking on a disciple didn’t seem so bad after all.

After Yun Dan finished planting the flowers, she brought over a bowl of something from the kitchen.

“Master, I made peanut custard. Try it and see how it tastes. I know Master doesn’t like things too sweet, so I didn’t put in too much sugar.”

During this time, Ye Bei felt that his palate had been spoiled by Yun Dan.

He hadn’t been someone who paid much attention to food before.

But now, he found he had gotten used to this way of getting along with Yun Dan.

“It’s quite good. Thank you for your trouble.”

After all, she was going to steal things from him, so this could make up for some of her guilty feelings.

Actually, after really getting to know Ye Bei, he truly was quite a nice person.

But…

Who told her to be an undercover agent?

Xiao Yueqing had indeed done as he said—he truly hadn’t appeared at Heavenly Sword Sect, and Yun Dan had almost forgotten about her poisoning.

However, late that night, a piercing pain came over her, jolting her fully awake.

Her body felt as if tens of thousands of ants were gnawing at it.

“Oh no, the poison is acting up… Xiao Yueqing, where are you…”

Just when Yun Dan thought she couldn’t hold on any longer and her vision was becoming blurred, she finally caught that familiar fragrance.

Yun Dan’s feelings toward Xiao Yueqing were complicated, but no matter what, at this moment she needed Xiao Yueqing.

She struggled to sit up but had no strength at all, and fell directly into Xiao Yueqing’s embrace.

“Master, why did you only just arrive? I thought you didn’t want this chess piece anymore.”

Xiao Yueqing was also quite annoyed with himself.

He seemed to be forgetting many things easily lately.

And his health hadn’t been good these past few days either, so he had nearly forgotten about Yun Dan.

“I’m sorry. Master forgot.”

After Xiao Yueqing fed his blood to Yun Dan, she finally felt herself recovering.

“I’m sorry, I came late.”

Yun Dan was full of grievances at this moment.

“You clearly forgot about me on purpose. Do you know how scared I was? I’m someone who’s quite afraid of death, and I feel I have no value to use, so I was afraid you’d just abandon me.”

Xiao Yueqing thought to himself—how could that be?

He was indeed using Yun Dan, both before and now.

If at the beginning he still wasn’t sure whether to spare Yun Dan’s life or not…

But now, Xiao Yueqing would not choose to let Yun Dan die.

Especially after they had another layer of relationship, Xiao Yueqing cared about Yun Dan even more.

He reached out and patted her head. “How could that be? Master just forgot, that’s all. But what about you—how are you doing at Changge Hall? That old stubborn one didn’t make things difficult for you, did he?”

Yun Dan thought to herself that Ye Bei wasn’t an old stubborn one at all.

However, some of his hobbies and daily habits were exactly like those of a sixty-two-year-old, not a twenty-six-year-old.

“He didn’t make things difficult for me. He even brought me sunflower seeds—though you people here seem to call them kui flowers. I’ve already planted them.”

Speaking of this made Yun Dan happy.

Moreover, she was amazed to discover that the seeds she planted this time had all sprouted.

This showed that Changge Hall had good feng shui!

Xiao Yueqing frowned.

He didn’t like flowers at all, because they reminded him of the passion flower.

They reminded him of those unpleasant experiences.

Seeing that Xiao Yueqing remained silent, Yun Dan roughly guessed she had said the wrong thing just now and tried to change the subject.

“Master, don’t overthink it. But what about you—how is your health now?”

Xiao Yueqing shook his head. “Pretty good.”

But in reality, how could it be good?

Although what he practiced wasn’t the so-called virgin cultivation technique, after all, he had too much poison in his body, and his body had already been badly eroded by the poison.

So he had indeed started coughing up blood again.
