After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 13

Just kidding—even if Xiao Yueqing was the most handsome man in the world, what did that have to do with her?

When the money was in place, that would be real!

As long as she got the money and completed her mission, she could take the money and become a rich woman.

Who knew how long she’d be stuck in this place?

What if she had to stay in this world forever and couldn’t return to her own world?

With money, she could live more happily and freely here. Otherwise, it would be difficult just to survive.

Yun Dan’s calculations were quite ingenious.

Beautiful men and such were probably not meant for her in this lifetime.

After all, this wasn’t really an otome game where she could pick five wild men to romance.

It seemed more practical to focus on making money.

Besides, once the mission was complete, Yun Dan only wanted to quickly get away from this great demon lord.

Otherwise, she always had the feeling of being controlled by him, as if her little life was tied to his belt.

Regarding Yun Dan’s little schemes, Xiao Yueqing actually understood them all perfectly.

How could he not guess what this little girl was thinking?

Wanting money was probably just an excuse.

However, her complete lack of interest in him was quite unexpected to Xiao Yueqing.

He couldn’t help but want to tease her a bit.

Xiao Yueqing suddenly reached out and brushed away the stray hair by her ear.

This gesture made Yun Dan freeze for a moment, wondering what this great beauty Xiao was trying to do.

However, looking at her expression, Xiao Yueqing suddenly came out with a mocking remark.

“What, did you think I was going to do something to you? Looking at you like this, don’t tell me you were waiting for me to kiss you?”

Yun Dan immediately widened her eyes, unable to believe that Xiao Yueqing would say such a thing.

She retreated several steps in succession, directly breaking free from Xiao Yueqing’s constraining range.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Where did I think so much?”

The unnatural blush on Yun Dan’s face couldn’t fool anyone, and Xiao Yueqing naturally caught all of this.

It had been a long time since he’d encountered such an amusing person.

At least in Xiao Yueqing’s view, every woman he had encountered harbored ulterior motives toward him.

Some wanted to rise in status, others wanted to assassinate him. Without exception, none of them approached him with such pure intentions.

This girl had quite a bit of the feel of a living treasure.

However, to him, she was nothing more than a spy.

He had indeed lost his composure somewhat today.

At least he shouldn’t be paying this much attention to a spy.

Though he wouldn’t fall in love with anyone.

But softness of heart was indeed something that shouldn’t appear in him.

“Yun Dan, extend your hand.”

Yun Dan didn’t understand what Xiao Yueqing wanted to do, but still obediently extended her hand.

“What do you want to do? You’re not going to put a few more poison pills in my hand for me to eat, are you?”

That one poison pill had already given Yun Dan enough psychological trauma.

After all, it was poison!

And Xiao Yueqing had also said that he temporarily wouldn’t give her the antidote—she had to drink his blood every month to prevent the poison from taking effect.

So temporarily, her little life was like being tied to Xiao Yueqing’s belt.

If she ate a few more poison pills and these poisons mixed together, she might not even live to see tomorrow!

Seeing Yun Dan so frightened, Xiao Yueqing rarely laughed.

“Do you really think I’m going to give you more poison? Though I’m not exactly a good person, I wouldn’t do such a thing now.

That one poison pill was merely a bond to maintain the relationship between us—employer and spy. One poison pill is enough. If I really wanted your life, do you think you’d still be standing here talking to me properly?”

Yun Dan thought about it and realized it made some sense.

After all, from their very first meeting, Xiao Yueqing had countless reasons and countless opportunities to kill her.

Though admittedly, when they first met, he had grabbed her throat and nearly strangled her to death.

But in the end, didn’t Xiao Yueqing refrain from making a move against her?

He had let her go countless times when he had the chance, so he probably didn’t want her measly life.

At least she still had some usefulness.

Since what Xiao Yueqing was giving her wasn’t poison, Yun Dan breathed a sigh of relief, and her face showed a smile again.

“What thing are you being so mysterious about? I thought you were going to poison me again. I was thinking that eating one poison pill wasn’t enough—you wanted to give me several more. So you didn’t want my little life after all.”

For the first time, Xiao Yueqing felt that he didn’t quite know how to deal with this girl who was a full ten years younger than him.

At this age, she was completely just a child.

Although Xiao Yueqing knew that it was quite common for women to marry at fifteen or sixteen.

But after all, he was ten years older than her, so in his eyes, she was indeed a little kid.

“Extend your hand. I want to check your pulse. Didn’t you say you wanted to see if you could learn martial arts? I thought about it—although you’re not a martial arts prodigy, having some basic skills would be beneficial. After all, if you keep dragging me down, I’d find it quite troublesome too.”

The subtext was that he was afraid Yun Dan would always need him to rescue and help her, which would make Xiao Yueqing quite displeased.

“Oh, alright then.”

Yun Dan couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

She thought to herself: Just how useless are you that you can’t even guarantee your spy’s safety? What kind of employer are you?

Naturally, Yun Dan didn’t dare say these words in front of Xiao Yueqing.

Because she was afraid that if she accidentally angered this great demon lord, she’d be the one to suffer in the end.

So in front of this great pervert and villain, she should try to go along with whatever he said.

Whatever he said was right—she needed to fully embody the spirit of asking no questions and absolutely not courting death.

Thinking of this, she remembered that system code name—something like the “If You Don’t Court Death, You Won’t Die” system.

Fortunately, it was just decoration, otherwise who knew how it would mess with her.

Xiao Yueqing’s slightly cool fingers touched her wrist, making Yun Dan shiver involuntarily.

“Hiss, why are your hands so cold? Even on such a hot day, you’re like a big ice block. Aren’t you cold?”

Xiao Yueqing shook his head and asked her in return, “So what if I’m cold? So what if I’m hot? What, do you care?”

Yun Dan knew he was just joking, so she casually replied, “It’s not about whether I care or not. I just purely think your body is so cold. On such a hot day, your fingertips are still ice-cold. Speaking of which, I was wondering—are you afraid of cold?”

“Heh, interesting. I’m not cold. My body has always been cold—I’ve long gotten used to it. Your constitution is rather poor. Starting tomorrow, you’ll practice martial arts with me in the morning. We’ll begin with horse stance. Too weak a constitution won’t get you into Mingyue Manor.”
