After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 32

This was also the first time Xiao Yueqing had patiently comforted Yun Dan like this.

He reached out and patted her head, saying, “What are you afraid of? Your master won’t eat you. If you can’t complete the mission, then you can’t complete it. What’s the big deal?”

Don’t listen to what Xiao Yueqing was saying now, as if there was nothing else behind his words.

But Yun Dan knew that if she really made a mistake, his arrangements for her would be unpredictable.

He might drag her to keep the passion flower company, or drag her to the torture chamber. In any case, he would never easily let her off.

But obviously Yun Dan was someone who would act coy after getting a bargain. Now that Xiao Yueqing was finally coaxing her, she naturally couldn’t argue with him, but continued following his words.

Saying things that would hopefully appease him.

She was now nestled in Xiao Yueqing’s embrace, feeling his strong and powerful heartbeat, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance of bamboo.

She felt as if she was taking advantage of him.

“Master, I’m truly worried about not being able to complete your mission, and I’m afraid you’ll be sad. After all, I’m the only spy Master carefully selected. So I absolutely cannot let Master down and must complete the mission properly.”

Xiao Yueqing naturally knew that Yun Dan was just coaxing him with these words.

He wasn’t stupid.

Xiao Yueqing’s eyes turned, thinking that this little girl was quite clever, actually knowing how to say what people wanted to hear and what ghosts wanted to hear.

However, after just a month of interaction, Xiao Yueqing had already figured her out completely.

At least he knew what kind of person she was.

Right now, these words from Yun Dan were just deliberately coaxing him, not heartfelt.

But he hadn’t forgotten what he came here for.

“Yun Dan, how long are you going to keep hugging me?”

Yun Dan thought he was angry and quickly struggled out of his embrace, retreating to the side.

“Master, I was wrong.”

Xiao Yueqing chuckled softly and raised an eyebrow, “Wrong about what?”

“Uh… wrong to hug Master. After all, men and women should maintain proper distance, and calling someone master is above all else. Once a master, always like a father, so I should respect you and be filial to you.”

These words completely confused Xiao Yueqing.

He couldn’t help but feel that this girl was somewhat…

Abnormal?

Xiao Yueqing suddenly leaned close to Yun Dan’s face and teased, “So in your eyes, I’m your father? But if I really had a daughter like you, I’d probably be driven to death by anger first.”

He suddenly reached out and pinched Yun Dan’s face, looking her up and down, then said, “You’re not even as good-looking as me. If I had a daughter, she wouldn’t look like a bean sprout.”

Yun Dan: “……”

Could they still communicate properly?

Yun Dan felt somewhat indignant and muttered quietly, “I can’t control my appearance. Master, how can you mock me like this? Besides, give me another ten years, and I might become stunningly beautiful!”

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yueqing poured cold water on her dreams.

“You? Forget it. Reincarnating would be faster. But Master won’t dislike you. After all, accepting disciples isn’t about looks. I haven’t seen many people better looking than me, so it’s the same no matter what kind of disciple I take.”

But then he remembered why he came here.

He took the medicinal ointment and said, “Expose your wound, let me apply some ointment for you.”

Yun Dan was somewhat puzzled.

“But the people from Mingyue Manor already applied medicine for me. It was from some Divine Physician Sect’s Wuyou, and it sounds quite impressive.”

But Xiao Yueqing seemed as if he hadn’t heard at all, saying to himself, “Divine Physician Sect? His ointment isn’t as good as mine. You should use my ointment to heal faster. Would I harm you? Do you think there’s really poison in it? Ridiculous. If I wanted to kill you, would I let you bounce around until now?”

What he said wasn’t wrong.

But could he save her some face next time?

However, Xiao Yueqing’s ointment did seem different. It felt very cool when applied, and even the pain from the wound decreased considerably.

It seemed this person wasn’t lying.

“Master, why do you know medical arts? I thought you only played with poisons. I never imagined you knew medicine.”

But Xiao Yueqing’s answer was somewhat off-topic.

“A physician cannot heal himself. Playing with poisons isn’t my wish either. I had no choice, so I can only try to make myself as comfortable as possible. Children shouldn’t always ask adults so many questions. Just rest well.”

But before leaving, Xiao Yueqing seemed to remember something and added, “By the way, you can get close to Dongfang Wuchen, but don’t fall in love with him. He’s not your destined one. Most importantly, your identity would be very difficult for Dongfang Jue and Mulan to accept.

He, Dongfang Wuchen, is a young master from a prestigious family. His future wife must also be born into a noble family. Don’t give your heart to someone with whom you have no future, or you’ll be the only one suffering in the end.”

“Also, I’ll come check on you when I have time. Remember to apply this ointment.”

After saying this, he turned and left the room.

Yun Dan picked up the ointment from the bed and thought about what Xiao Yueqing had told her, muttering to herself.

“So you’re also someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I should have guessed it long ago, shouldn’t I? Saying the ointment was full of poison and that applying it would cause instant death – weren’t you just trying to scare me?”

“Actually, this great demon lord doesn’t seem as bad as I imagined. Instead, he’s somewhat tsundere and cute. Of course, he’s also narcissistic, actually thinking I’m ugly. So what if I’m ugly? I’m not eating your family’s rice, really!”

That night, in the secret chamber of Tianqing Manor’s East Garden, agonizing screams seemed to echo.

When they finally saw who had come, their first reaction was to beg for mercy.

“Master Xiao, we don’t know what we did wrong to be captured here by you, but no matter what we did, we apologize here and beg you to spare us.”

Xiao Yueqing snorted coldly and said, “Shu Sect… This lord didn’t know you had such audacity to go assassinate Dongfang Wuchen. Should I say you’re brainless, or that you’re seeking death?”

The people captured below were naturally all from the Shu Sect.

If Yun Dan were present, she would definitely recognize that these black-clothed men were the ones who assassinated her and Dongfang Wuchen during the day.

One of them was even the person who injured her.

The group below obviously hadn’t realized the severity of the situation and were just pleading for mercy.

“Master Xiao, we were only following orders. It was our sect leader who told us to assassinate Dongfang Wuchen. None of this was our own decision. Please spare us.”

However, Xiao Yueqing didn’t pay attention to them but slowly walked in front of them.

‘Crack’ – the sound of bones breaking, and screams instantly filled the secret chamber.
