After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 16

Xiao Yueqing also walked in at this moment. He glanced over the items placed before him and said, “You’re quite clever, seeing at a glance that this is a torture chamber. Otherwise, how could you smell the bloody scent in this room?

By all rights, I should have had people clean it thoroughly already. I didn’t expect you’d still notice it. Tell me, shouldn’t I punish someone as disobedient as you?”

Damn, it really is a torture chamber.

Yun Dan immediately tensed up, feeling like she was about to meet her doom.

“Hehe, no need for that. I’m such an obedient person – you can’t misunderstand me like this. It’s really too oppressive to talk in here. How about we go outside to talk instead? The air outside is much fresher than in here.

Look, since you said there’s a bloody smell in this room, it means it hasn’t been cleaned properly. If we stand here talking for a long time, breathing it in – don’t you think that’s unsanitary? What if we get infected with something and fall ill? That would be terrible.”

Yun Dan felt she couldn’t stay here for even a moment longer. Every minute she spent here made her feel extremely oppressed – this was definitely not a good place.

However, if Xiao Yueqing would truly listen to Yun Dan’s words so easily, then he really wouldn’t be Xiao Yueqing.

Not only did Xiao Yueqing not take Yun Dan’s suggestion, but he walked toward her instead.

“Oh, you want to leave so badly – are you feeling scared?”

“No… no, I’m not.”

Actually, Yun Dan was already somewhat incoherent at this moment.

But she knew that if she showed any sign of fear, it would only make Xiao Yueqing mock her.

Either way, she didn’t believe Xiao Yueqing would really dare to kill her here.

He was going through all this trouble just to frighten her a bit.

It was all just for show anyway – she just had to endure it.

However, in a moment of distraction, Yun Dan found herself lying flat on a cold stone slab.

And her hands were bound with chains as well.

Now Yun Dan really couldn’t laugh anymore.

Holy crap, what the hell?

Looking at the chains on her hands, Yun Dan still tried to reason with Xiao Yueqing.

“Come on, big beauty Xiao, can’t we just sit down and have a nice chat? You’ve tied me up right from the start – what are you planning to do? Can’t we go outside and sit down to talk?”

Xiao Yueqing paid no attention to Yun Dan. Instead, he turned around and took a dagger down from the wall, then turned back and walked to Yun Dan’s side, using the dagger to gesture at her face as he said, “No, if we sit down, we won’t be able to talk properly. It’s more suitable for you to lie down like this while we chat.”

Yun Dan’s entire face turned green.

She thought to herself: Big brother, you’re trying to kill me here.

Even if I’m usually quite bold, I can’t handle you scaring me like this!

Seeing that the dagger was already pressed against her face, even though Yun Dan wanted to appear especially brave on the surface, she was still frightened inside.

She looked at Xiao Yueqing and finally gave in, pleading with him, “Can you please stop scaring me? Let’s talk nicely – I’ll agree to whatever you say.”

However, if Xiao Yueqing could really be fooled by these words of hers, then he really wouldn’t be Xiao Yueqing.

“Oh, what makes you think I’d believe what you’re saying? And how do I know you’re not lying to me?”

Yun Dan quickly explained, “No, no, how could I possibly deceive you? From the time I met you until now, everything I’ve said has been the truth. Although I may not look particularly proper, I would never dare to show off in front of you. Everything I say is absolutely the truth – I dare stake my character on it.”

No matter how much character she had, she might as well put it all on the line first.

“Character? Do you have any?”

If Xiao Yueqing couldn’t see through this little girl’s tricks, he really wouldn’t deserve to have lived this many years.

He was ten years older than her – he wasn’t so easily fooled.

The dagger pressed against Yun Dan’s face showed no signs of moving away. Xiao Yueqing could control the pressure perfectly, ensuring he wouldn’t actually hurt her while still frightening her.

Maintaining this position, he continued chatting casually with Yun Dan.

“You little girl really are disobedient. Little Yun Duo, tell me – how should I punish you? Should I tie you up in this place and use a knife to cut your face? Or should I peel off your skin and make a lantern out of it to hang on the wall for decoration?”

Upon hearing this, Yun Dan immediately shook her head like a rattle drum.

“Don’t! Skin isn’t that easy to peel off, and besides, that would be way too bloody. Let’s not do such things. Moreover, your hands are so beautiful – if they got stained with blood, wouldn’t that be defiling you?”

Hearing this, Xiao Yueqing examined his own hands and suddenly asked her, “Then guess how many people these hands of mine have killed?”

Yun Dan: “……”

Big brother, can you please follow the script? We can’t do this!

“Let’s talk about something else instead, like what to eat for lunch, what to eat for dinner. How about I cook something for you? I’m very skilled – I guarantee you’ll want more after tasting it.”

“No thanks, I’m afraid you’d poison me. Besides, if I untie you, would you still obediently listen to what I say?”

Yun Dan still tried to explain while expressing her attitude.

“I won’t. I said I wouldn’t leave and I really won’t leave. You should trust me just this once. Look, I don’t know how to do anything – how could I possibly poison you? Everyone knows how skilled you are at making poisons. I don’t know any of those sophisticated techniques.”

Xiao Yueqing nodded thoughtfully and said, “Oh, so it seems you have indeed considered wanting to kill me in your heart. Now I’m curious – if I gave you a chance and it was me lying here tied up, would you attack me and try to kill me?”

What Yun Dan wanted to say was: That would be exactly what I’m hoping for.

But she could still distinguish the situation clearly, so she could only shake her head and say, “I wouldn’t. I don’t even dare kill a chicken – how could I possibly hurt you? Please unlock the chains. This makes me very uncomfortable.”

“If I let you go, I’m really afraid you’d run away immediately.”

“I won’t. I swear I won’t run.”

Seeing Yun Dan’s firm attitude and that she seemed genuinely frightened, Xiao Yueqing actually unlocked the chain on one of her hands.

Now that one hand could move, Yun Dan finally felt like she’d saved half her life.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she glanced at the key placed nearby, took a deep breath, slightly raised her body, and hugged Xiao Yueqing.

She kissed him while she was at it.

While Xiao Yueqing was stunned, Yun Dan’s free hand quietly reached for the key nearby and unlocked the chain on her other hand as quickly as possible. Only then did she push Xiao Yueqing away forcefully and roll off the slab to run.
