After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 26

No matter what her mission was in this world.

At least Yun Dan felt that in terms of difficulty to conquer, Dongfang Wuchen was definitely easier to handle than Xiao Yueqing. At the very least, he was someone with a completely normal mentality.

This Xiao Yueqing, no matter how you looked at him, gave off a feeling of psychological abnormality, constantly threatening her with things like skinning people alive.

If it weren’t for her strong psychological fortitude, being dragged to the torture chamber every few days would probably have scared her into having a heart attack.

Speaking of which, humans really are a miraculous species.

Don’t look at how terrified she was when first entering the torture chamber – she went in and immediately felt her legs go weak.

But after being taken to the torture chamber so many times, Yun Dan could even observe the structure of the chamber and speculate about what happened there. She felt like her perverted attributes had risen somewhat.

But Yun Dan blamed all of this on Xiao Yueqing.

She was convinced that he had corrupted her.

Seeing that Dongfang Wuchen didn’t seem to reject her, Yun Dan became bolder and wanted to get closer to him.

After all, she would need to find a way to get close to him later. If she didn’t gather more information, what would she do if her cover was blown?

“Young Master, you have extraordinary looks. Do you have wives or concubines at home?”

Yun Dan hadn’t interacted with too many ancient people after all, and at Tianqing Manor, aside from Xiao Yueqing and Yue Po, she wasn’t familiar with the rest.

Moreover, Tianqing Manor was so abnormal that you probably couldn’t even find a single female fly there.

Starting with the topic of wives and concubines should make it easier to get closer, right?

Dongfang Wuchen showed no sign of anger, but answered seriously, “I am twenty years old, and I have no wives, concubines, or chamber maids at home. Since childhood, my father has taught me strictly and forbade me from indulging in other matters, so I am not yet betrothed.”

Tsk.

These young masters from prestigious families generally maintain their virtue quite well, it seems?

In ancient times, not being married at twenty was actually still normal.

Yun Dan thought of a certain twenty-eight-year-old bachelor – now that was truly abnormal.

In ancient times, at that age, if you were a few years older, you could probably be someone’s grandfather.

Yun Dan nodded thoughtfully and teased. “I see that Young Master is talented and handsome, so you’re not yet betrothed. But your father is right – good men have ambitions in all directions, naturally they should make their mark in the world first. Everything else can be discussed later.”

Dongfang Wuchen was not skilled at socializing with women.

Although there had always been many women surrounding him, he couldn’t muster any interest in them.

Firstly, he didn’t want to disappoint his father’s teachings and expectations.

Secondly, he felt that women were too troublesome, so he focused all his attention on martial arts practice instead.

But he hadn’t expected that this girl he met at the teahouse seemed different from those women who usually surrounded him.

Her words were straightforward, without beating around the bush.

You could tell she spoke sincerely, not with flattery.

Because of his identity as the young master of Mingyue Manor, since childhood, regardless of whether men or women approached him, they all had ulterior motives.

Most were after his status, which is why they would befriend him.

Their daily conversations were also filled with flattery.

This woman seemed not to recognize him, and even after he gave his name, she still didn’t show much surprise.

But Dongfang Wuchen was naturally cautious and wondered if this might be pretense, so he decided to probe further.

“May I ask where Miss Yun Dan is from? You don’t seem to be from Yong City?”

Yun Dan nodded, put down the pastry in her hand, picked up her tea cup and took a sip, then said, “I’m not from Yong City. I came to seek out distant relatives. All my family members have passed away, leaving only me. But I haven’t found them yet – they seem to have already left Yong City, so I can only stay here.”

Dongfang Wuchen frowned and asked, “Did they leave any clues back then? I could help you inquire – after all, my family has some connections.”

Yun Dan quickly waved her hands in refusal.

“No need. They left two years ago. There’s no point in me returning to my hometown now. My family originally ran a pastry business, so I learned the craft from a young age.

Recently I’m thinking of looking for a shop, wanting to open a pastry shop and settle down here. After all, I have no relatives left – isn’t it the same wherever I am?”

Just kidding – if she told Dongfang Wuchen the truth, wouldn’t her cover be completely blown?

Besides, the pastry thing wasn’t really Yun Dan lying.

She really did love tinkering with food and usually enjoyed making various kinds of desserts and cakes.

Dongfang Wuchen didn’t doubt her, only feeling that Yun Dan was indeed a good person.

At least she hadn’t given up on herself.

But Dongfang Wuchen obviously had no experience comforting girls. Facing Yun Dan, he could only console her, “Those things are in the past. If Miss doesn’t mind, you could be friends with me.”

Yun Dan slapped her thigh, thinking: I’ve been waiting for you to say that, brother!

You’re so understanding!

But she still pretended to be composed and said, “No need, but thank you for Young Master Dongfang’s kindness.”

While the two chatted casually downstairs, Xiao Yueqing upstairs was like a block of ice.

He could clearly sense that Yun Dan seemed to be communicating very happily with Dongfang Wuchen.

That relaxed expression was something he had never seen when Yun Dan was with him.

Was he really that frightening?

“Why does everyone prefer to get along with Dongfang Wuchen? Am I born stained with sin? I don’t understand why Dongfang Wuchen and I are seen as two such extremes in the eyes of the world.”

Sensing that enough time had passed, Yun Dan made an excuse to bid farewell to Dongfang Wuchen, planning to implement her second plan.

According to Yun Dan’s envisioned scene, when she stood up later, she would accidentally trip, then could be caught by Dongfang Wuchen, completing this mandatory task.

Thinking of this, Yun Dan slowly stood up, preparing to execute her plan.

But then she heard screaming.

Several black-clothed men suddenly burst into the teahouse and attacked in the direction of Dongfang Wuchen and Yun Dan.

Even if Yun Dan were stupid, she couldn’t fail to realize they were coming for Dongfang Wuchen.

Actually, she wanted to say: I’m innocent, can you please not attack me?

These black-clothed men were obviously no match for Dongfang Wuchen and were easily injured by him.

When these black-clothed men realized they had no chance, they left as quickly as possible.

Just when Yun Dan finally breathed a sigh of relief, she discovered there was still one black-clothed man behind Dongfang Wuchen.

And that black-clothed man was charging at Dongfang Wuchen with a sword.

“Watch out behind you!”

Yun Dan originally wanted to pull Dongfang Wuchen away to dodge, but didn’t expect to accidentally trip her left foot with her right foot. Her whole body involuntarily lurched forward, and the sword pierced directly into her shoulder.

And she also fell into Dongfang Wuchen’s arms with the momentum.

Damn, I really didn’t mean to block the sword for him!
