After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 14

Upon hearing that she would have to practice horse stance and get up early in the morning to train, Yun Dan’s entire face turned green with dismay.

She waved her hands repeatedly in refusal.

“No way! If my constitution is poor, then it’s poor – it’s not like I’ll die from it. Besides, what I’ve hated most since childhood is exercise and sports. Aren’t you just trying to kill me? Please spare me, Great Demon Lord! You’re such a cute, gentle, and handsome person – surely you can understand my situation, right?”

Yun Dan looked at Xiao Yueqing with hopeful eyes, expecting him to withdraw this proposal.

However, Xiao Yueqing’s response was like pouring a bucket of cold water directly over Yun Dan.

He raised an eyebrow and said, “What if I say no?”

Now Yun Dan’s entire face turned even greener.

She instantly wanted to pour out all her grievances.

In her heart, she had already cursed Xiao Yueqing thoroughly.

“I regret it, Great Demon Lord, big beauty Xiao! I never want to learn martial arts again. Can you just pretend I never said those words?”

Who would have thought that Xiao Yueqing would reach out with one finger and lightly tap her forehead, shaking his head as if disappointed that iron couldn’t become steel. “Words that have already been spoken – where’s the logic in regretting them? Moreover, you were the one who said those words originally. I’m merely trying to help you realize them now. How has it somehow become my fault?”

With this speech, Xiao Yueqing directly threw the blame back onto Yun Dan, while he himself became like a non-stick pan.

Yun Dan muttered somewhat indignantly under her breath, “You already said I’m not some martial arts prodigy, yet now you want me to train with you. Don’t try to deceive me – what if you’re setting me up? What would you say then?”

Xiao Yueqing was stunned for a moment.

This was the first person who dared to speak to him this way to his face.

However, at this moment he didn’t feel angry at all. Instead, he found this little girl’s genuine nature quite interesting.

People naturally pay more attention to such interesting things, and would think such people and matters are quite nice.

He chuckled softly and said, “Learning martial arts isn’t something that can be accomplished overnight. I’m having you train with me for your own good. Do you think I’m trying to harm you?

Do you know what kind of place Mingyue Manor is? If you truly enter Mingyue Manor, you’ll be stepping into this martial world. Do you expect that when the time comes, you’ll be able to rely on Dongfang Wuchen to save you in Mingyue Manor? That would be thinking too simply.”

This was something Yun Dan had never considered.

It seemed she was too unfamiliar with this era, forgetting that this should be considered a world involving fighting and killing, where one careless moment could cost her life.

And wasn’t the Great Demon Lord before her someone with high martial arts skills who could kill her at any time?

Yun Dan scratched her head in distress and muttered, “I never thought about that – you’re the one overthinking things. Big beauty, I’ve discovered your biggest problem: you tend to overthink things. People shouldn’t always create so many troubles for themselves. Getting by day by day isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”

“Overthinking?”

This was the first time Xiao Yueqing had heard someone evaluate him this way.

He examined his conscience – was he really someone who tended to overthink?

“In your eyes, am I someone who overthinks? I’m truly doing this for your good. But if you feel I’m not being good to you, then you can choose not to listen to me. Anyway, when you encounter danger, if you die, then you die.

I can always find another spy. It wouldn’t be any loss to me, since I haven’t invested any cost anyway. Don’t you think so?”

Now Yun Dan could no longer maintain the expression on her face.

She never would have expected Xiao Yueqing to give such an answer.

He actually told her that he could sacrifice her at any time, that even if she unfortunately died while carrying out this mission, it would be no loss to him whatsoever.

He wouldn’t even feel sad for a moment – he might forget who she was in the blink of an eye and immediately find the next target.

Speaking of which, she really would be at a complete loss.

In that case, she absolutely could not die.

Otherwise, if she died, she would be the one at a complete loss, and wouldn’t even have a chance to collect the money later.

“I must live well. If I died, then the promise you made to fulfill my wish would never have a chance to be realized, right? That would be a complete loss for me.

Helping you complete missions, having to brave winds and waves and cut through thorns for you – no matter how I look at it, I’m the one who’s at a complete loss. Since I’m in such danger, you should treat me better. Otherwise, if I expose you later, wouldn’t you be doomed?”

These words couldn’t threaten Xiao Yueqing at all.

In his view, the things Yun Dan mentioned were never within his consideration.

He wasn’t afraid of being exposed – after all, there were far too many people in this world who wanted to kill him.

No matter what reason they used, they would always have opportunities to find and try to kill him, but none had ever succeeded.

He turned his back to her and suddenly poured another bucket of cold water over Yun Dan.

“So in your eyes, am I such a person who fears death? Over the years, countless people have wanted to kill me. Even if you bring me some more, I’m not afraid. But if your spy identity is exposed, you should consider how they’ll treat you, shouldn’t you?

You should know that people subject so-called captives to severe torture. What kind of punishment do you think they’ll use on you? Will they cut off your tongue? Or gouge out your eyes? Or perhaps… death by a thousand cuts?”

Hearing Xiao Yueqing’s words, Yun Dan couldn’t help but get goosebumps all over.

For the first time, she felt that Xiao Yueqing truly deserved to be the number one villain.

His perversion index was something ordinary people really couldn’t match.

Her little bit of intelligence was truly useless in front of such a cunning veteran.

It was simply asking for humiliation!

Yun Dan felt extremely frustrated but couldn’t think of any way to retaliate, so she could only sulk alone.

When Xiao Yueqing turned around, he saw Yun Dan pouting, seemingly angry.

He wondered if he had gone too far and scared her.

Xiao Yueqing moved a few steps closer, bent down to get in front of her face, and teased, “I originally thought you were someone with great skill and courage. After all, when you saw me, you didn’t show any signs of fear. But now you’re making me feel that you’re actually just someone who’s very afraid of death.”

“But it doesn’t matter – being afraid of death won’t help you. Because if you betray me or try to play tricks in front of me, I’ll definitely make sure you die beautifully.”
