After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 31

After nightfall, Yun Dan slept fitfully, always feeling somewhat restless.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a figure standing by her bedside, which startled her so much that she struggled to sit up and was about to cry out.

A hand covered her mouth at that moment.

“Don’t shout, it’s me.”

Hearing the familiar voice, Yun Dan’s heart finally relaxed. She hadn’t expected Xiao Yueqing to come to Mingyue Manor at this time.

But Yun Dan quickly reacted, pushing him away.

“Master, why did you come here? In the middle of the night, how did you get into Mingyue Manor? Aren’t they supposed to be your mortal enemies? Aren’t you afraid they’ll come catch you if you appear at Mingyue Manor at this time?”

A soft chuckle came from above her head.

“Ha, catch me? How presumptuous. It’s just Mingyue Manor – how could it possibly contain me? I come when I want to come, leave when I want to leave.”

Yun Dan thought about it and agreed.

He was a famous great demon lord, and his martial arts skills were certainly extraordinary. One Mingyue Manor indeed couldn’t contain him, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to sneak into Mingyue Manor so quietly in the middle of the night without being discovered.

The room had no lights lit, so Yun Dan couldn’t see Xiao Yueqing clearly.

And she was afraid of the dark…

Yun Dan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and tugged at Xiao Yueqing’s sleeve, saying, “Master, I’m a bit afraid of the dark. Could you light the lamp in the room? It’s fine when I’m sleeping, but now that I’m awake and the room is pitch black, I feel a bit creeped out, and I can’t see you clearly. I keep feeling like you’re some ghost or spirit.”

Afraid of the dark…

Actually, Xiao Yueqing was also somewhat afraid of the dark.

But compared to Yun Dan, Xiao Yueqing seemed much more normal.

He raised his hand, and the candle on the table instantly lit up, brightening the room considerably.

Only then did Xiao Yueqing turn back, wanting to say something to Yun Dan.

But he noticed that Yun Dan’s collar was somewhat open.

He instinctively turned his head to the other side, “Improper! How can you not even wear undergarments? Pull your collar closed.”

When Xiao Yueqing said this, Yun Dan looked down and only then realized that her collar had somehow come open, and she indeed wasn’t wearing undergarments.

This wasn’t her fault – wearing them was really quite uncomfortable.

But Yun Dan also hadn’t known that Xiao Yueqing would appear in her room in the middle of the night!

According to Yun Dan’s thinking, late at night in Mingyue Manor, it would be impossible for anyone to come to her room, so she had relaxed her guard somewhat.

She thought that sleeping alone, if others couldn’t see, it didn’t matter.

She hadn’t expected that human plans are not as good as heaven’s plans – Xiao Yueqing would actually appear here.

She had to quickly pull her collar closed and hold the quilt in her arms before asking, “Master, why did you come to this place in the middle of the night? Although it’s impossible for anyone to catch you, you came here in the middle of the night – could it be to see me?”

Actually, what Yun Dan wanted to ask more was: since Mingyue Manor can’t stop you at all, why don’t you come steal the treasure map yourself?

Why do you need me to come here and help you as a spy?

After thinking about it, Yun Dan decided not to ask.

Because she was afraid of being beaten!

Xiao Yueqing raised an eyebrow and asked her back, “I heard my disciple was injured. As her master, I naturally had to come and show concern, to see how my disciple’s injury is. How is the wound on your shoulder?”

It was fine when he didn’t mention it, but once he brought it up, Yun Dan thought about how this was definitely an undeserved disaster for her.

And when the incident happened, Xiao Yueqing was upstairs – he should have noticed all this, right?

She was somewhat unhappy and muttered quietly, “It was fine when you didn’t mention it, but now that you bring it up, my shoulder still hurts. I never thought that going downstairs to order a pot of tea would lead to such a thing.

If I had known, I wouldn’t have gone to drink tea with Dongfang Wuchen. I didn’t expect that drinking tea with him would lead to this incident. Do you think he has the potential to be possessed by a bad luck spirit? Every time I get close to him, I have bad luck.”

Xiao Yueqing crossed his arms and looked Yun Dan up and down, casually replying, “You don’t look like there’s anything wrong with you. I thought you were lying in bed unable to get up. But you’re quite right – this time it really was an undeserved disaster, quite unlucky indeed. So I brought you some medicinal ointment.”

He took out a jar of ointment from his sleeve and tossed it into Yun Dan’s hands.

Yun Dan caught the ointment and put it under her nose to smell it. A faint, pleasant fragrance hit her.

Joy immediately surged up.

She thought to herself that this person had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Obviously coming to see her out of concern, but pretending like it didn’t matter.

What a complete acting master.

However, she quickly remembered that Xiao Yueqing dealt with poisons.

So this ointment… he wouldn’t have poisoned it, would he?

Yun Dan felt a bit torn.

“This… this is ointment that Master made?”

How could Xiao Yueqing not understand what she meant?

He leaned closer to Yun Dan’s face and scared her by saying, “Yes, it’s ointment your master made after going back. I added crane’s crest red and passion flower, plus all kinds of poisons. Apply it and you’ll immediately go to the underworld for tea. Are you satisfied with this answer?”

Hearing Xiao Yueqing say this, Yun Dan was no longer panicked.

Because she could tell that Xiao Yueqing was just deliberately trying to scare her. There was clearly nothing in this ointment.

It seemed he really cared about her.

[Ding—— System issues mandatory task —— Hug Xiao Yueqing and act coquettish toward him]

Act coquettish?

What?

Are you fucking kidding me?

Looking at this untimely mandatory task that popped up, Yun Dan was completely broken.

“Are you kidding? If I dare throw myself into his arms, I think Xiao Yueqing would kick me away in seconds! What kind of fucking task is this! You’re trying to harm me!”

[Dear player, completing this task can earn 300 points, which can be exchanged for any items in the shop]

However, this was a mandatory task – the kind where you’d die immediately if you didn’t complete it.

Yun Dan quietly lifted her head to look at Xiao Yueqing leaning against the bedside, thinking that his mood should be pretty good right now, right?

After thinking about it, Yun Dan forced herself to squeeze out a tear.

She pretended to wipe her tears with both hands, then suddenly threw herself into Xiao Yueqing’s arms.

Xiao Yueqing hadn’t expected Yun Dan to actually do such a thing and was caught completely off guard when she threw herself into his arms.

He originally wanted to push her away, placing his hands on Yun Dan’s shoulders, but didn’t know how to push her away.

Seeing that Xiao Yueqing didn’t push her away, Yun Dan quickly deployed her rather abnormal acting skills.

“Master, do you know how scared I was at that time? I thought I might never see you again. Master, it’s a small matter that your disciple was injured, but if I can’t complete Master’s task, I feel like I’ve failed you!”

Xiao Yueqing’s heart quietly softened a bit.

After all, who doesn’t like to hear nice words?
