After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 20

Fortunately, Xiao Yueqing finally had a moment of conscience at the end and let her go back to eat.

Otherwise, if this continued, Yun Dan felt she would die right here.

What a joke—why did she have to transmigrate to this godforsaken place with her own body, and fall right in front of such a person? Why couldn’t she have fallen where she was supposed to go undercover?

Although Yun Dan didn’t particularly understand Dongfang Wuchen either, she didn’t even know what kind of person he really was.

Her understanding of him was nothing more than a few descriptive phrases.

But he was from a righteous sect and was a young manor lord. Yun Dan thought that no matter what, he had to be much better than Xiao Yueqing.

“Damn, my luck is terrible. Why did I have to fall in front of this big pervert? What sins did I commit? This is really going to be the death of me!”

The more Yun Dan thought about it, the more wronged she felt.

For the first time, she felt incredibly homesick.

Even though there was basically only her alone at home, at least there she could be carefree and relaxed.

[Ding——Target Xiao Yueqing’s favorability is at 2%. Please continue your efforts, player.]

The sudden system notification instantly interrupted Yun Dan’s complaints.

Although it had only increased by a pitiful one percent, for Yun Dan, this at least proved that her efforts were still effective.

Although she had indeed been tormented quite badly by Xiao Yueqing this early morning, and had wanted to just kill him several times, at least there was some gain.

Only a 1% increase was indeed rather pathetic, but at least it was increasing.

Yun Dan put down her chopsticks and instantly felt confident.

She took a deep breath and encouraged herself.

“Damn it, I’ve played so many otome games, there’s no man I can’t conquer. Even if those were all conquering 2D characters through a phone screen, even if you have no walkthrough to reference, I don’t believe it. I’m going to fight you to the end and see which of us drops dead first!”

At this time, Yun Dan didn’t know about Xiao Yueqing’s physical condition, so naturally she wouldn’t speculate so much.

If she had known, she probably would have regretted saying such words.

Xiao Yueqing’s torment couldn’t end in just one day.

For nearly a month afterward, Yun Dan was tortured and tormented by Xiao Yueqing in various ways almost every day.

And that favorability finally rose to a pitiful 5%, which was the result Yun Dan got after nearly dying.

After nightfall, Yun Dan lay alone in bed, but couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.

Because in a few days, she would really have to go undercover at Mingyue Manor.

The experiences of this past month seemed like a dream.

It was somewhat unreal.

She covered her heart, feeling her heartbeat, and uttered, “Only at times like this do I believe I’m still alive. This past month has been like living in constant fear every day, afraid that Xiao Yueqing would come up with some bad idea to kill me.

As long as I can quickly leave this manor, that would be good. Mingyue Manor is safer—at least they’re righteous martial artists who absolutely couldn’t do anything to me.”

However, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, frightening Yun Dan into immediately turning over and hugging the blanket, pretending to sleep.

The door creaked open.

The person who entered was precisely Xiao Yueqing.

Seeing that one of Yun Dan’s hands was still hanging over the side of the bed, he thought to help her put her hand back under the blanket.

However, as soon as he grasped Yun Dan’s wrist, Xiao Yueqing felt something was wrong.

He subconsciously blurted out, “You’re pretending to sleep? Are you that afraid of me?”

Since she’d been exposed, Yun Dan stopped pretending and turned around to look at Xiao Yueqing.

She put on a very surprised expression and said, “How did you come over?”

Xiao Yueqing lifted his robe and sat down by her bedside, saying, “Did you forget what day it is today? Why didn’t you come find me?”

Yun Dan shook her head.

For a moment, she really couldn’t figure out what magical day today was.

It wasn’t until Xiao Yueqing reminded her that she suddenly understood.

“I almost forgot that today marks one month—it’s the day you’re supposed to give me the antidote, right?”

“Yes, you’re not too stupid after all. You finally remembered what day it is. If I hadn’t come over, by tomorrow morning when your poison flares up, you’d probably be in unbearable pain. I’ve always been good to my disciples. After all, I’ve lived twenty-eight years and you’re my only disciple, so I should treat you well no matter what.”

Yun Dan thought to herself, I don’t want to be your disciple either.

The key is you didn’t give me any choice at all.

It’s typical forced buying and selling!

“Hehe, Master treats me quite well, remembering so clearly and being so considerate, coming over here to bring me the antidote. I, your disciple, am truly extremely grateful, so I will definitely complete the mission properly.”

Xiao Yueqing nodded thoughtfully.

He pulled out a dagger from somewhere and made a cut on his own arm, then extended his arm in front of Yun Dan, saying, “I can’t give you the antidote yet, so you need to drink my blood every month to detoxify for now. My blood is immune to all poisons, so using it to suppress toxicity is most suitable.”

Yun Dan looked at Xiao Yueqing’s arm in disbelief. The cut wasn’t big, but it wasn’t small either.

Although what Xiao Yueqing said made perfect sense—without an antidote during this period, she could indeed only rely on his blood to suppress the toxicity in her body.

Otherwise, when this strange poison flared up, Yun Dan didn’t know what kind of fate would befall her.

But asking her to actively drink Xiao Yueqing’s blood—she felt she really couldn’t do such a thing.

Seeing that Yun Dan kept refusing to take it, Xiao Yueqing didn’t have much patience.

He suddenly grabbed Yun Dan’s chin, forcing her to open her mouth, and fed her the blood.

After a moment, Xiao Yueqing finally let go of her, leaving behind only Yun Dan, who kept dry heaving.

She really couldn’t accept this bloody taste.

Especially after thinking that this was Xiao Yueqing’s blood, the nauseous feeling became even stronger.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yueqing didn’t feel a bit of sympathy. He only thought she was too weak.

“When I was your age, I had already crawled out of piles of corpses. Blood and flesh had long become numb to me. Sometimes surviving is the most important thing—don’t worry about the process.

I know you’re repulsed by my blood, but this is currently the only method to suppress the poisons in your body. But if you’re not afraid of death, then just pretend I never said the previous words.”

He had seen too many cruel things.

Therefore, Xiao Yueqing had become numb to everything.

Even killing couldn’t arouse any interest in him anymore.

Killing was nothing more than just to stay alive.

However, Yun Dan’s weakness still stirred the little remaining compassion in Xiao Yueqing’s heart.

He rarely showed such consideration as he took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood stains from the corner of her mouth.

“You’ll get used to it. The taste of blood isn’t that hard to accept.”
