After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 51

Although she couldn’t beat Xiao Yueqing in a fight.

Nor could she out-argue him.

But at least she could occasionally get a few good jabs in with her words.

Who would have thought that Xiao Yueqing didn’t seem angry at all after hearing this? Instead, he teased, “If you really do go out with me and someone comes to attack us, they’ll definitely target you first. They know they can’t beat me, so naturally they won’t bother with me. You look like someone who’s easy to bully – if they don’t attack you, who else would they go for?”

Yun Dan thought about it carefully and realized this was indeed the case.

After all, if the two of them went out together, she would practically be a walking target.

“No way, then I’ll definitely keep my distance from you when the time comes. If I walk together with you, I’d basically be announcing to everyone that I’m a spy.”

A finger lightly tapped her forehead as he said, “Don’t worry, as long as I don’t want you exposed, no one will know your identity. But what about you – when you saw Young Master Luoyue, were you unable to walk straight?”

This was something Yun Dan definitely disagreed with.

“Not at all. Good-looking is good-looking, but it’s not like I’ve never seen handsome men before. I’m not the type to lose my ability to walk just from seeing a man. Besides, his good looks have nothing to do with me – at most I’d just appreciate the view.”

Beauty is a universal trait.

Attractive people naturally draw many people’s attention.

Regardless of gender.

After listening to Yun Dan’s words, Xiao Yueqing nodded thoughtfully.

“This Young Master Luoyue is decent enough. If you’re worried about Mulan giving you trouble, you could try getting close to Young Master Luoyue. But you need to be careful of Tang Huairou – she seems to be coming back.”

“Her obsession with Young Master Luoyue has reached a fanatical level. Previously, anyone who showed interest in Young Master Luoyue would get whipped by her. She’s extremely willful and spoiled, so you’d better be careful.”

Yun Dan had heard of this Tang Huairou before.

She had almost forgotten that this person was a willful and capricious wealthy young lady.

“Alright, I’ll try my best to avoid her.”

However, Xiao Yueqing’s medicinal ointment seemed to be really effective.

It felt like not much time had passed before she could feel her wound becoming much more comfortable, without the sharp pain from before.

Looking at the bump on Yun Dan’s forehead, Xiao Yueqing repeatedly cautioned, “If you encounter this kind of situation again in the future, never go banging your head against pillars again. If you die, it would be a huge loss, but others wouldn’t suffer any loss at all.”

Yun Dan nodded.

This time she had indeed been too impulsive, but next time she would know better – no matter what, she must never joke around with her own life.

However, this Mulan was also quite problematic.

And this person seemed to know how to use poison too.

Should she get a silver needle?

So Yun Dan turned her gaze to Xiao Yueqing again.

“Master, do you have any treasures on you that you could spare for me?”

Xiao Yueqing didn’t immediately understand what Yun Dan meant and curiously asked, “What do you mean?”

“Well… what if this madam tries to poison me? Dongfang Wuchen told me she comes from the Tang Sect, that she’s the former second young lady of the Tang family. What if she secretly poisons me? Could you give me some silver needles or something that can detect poison for self-defense?”

So that’s what this was about.

But Xiao Yueqing didn’t answer directly.

Instead, he crossed his arms and leaned against the bedside before saying, “Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, you won’t die. Your master isn’t dead yet, so how could I let you die first? Rest assured, if she poisons you, I will definitely save you.”

She was his disciple.

And also one of his chess pieces.

Regardless of which reason it was, Xiao Yueqing couldn’t possibly allow anything to happen to Yun Dan.

Don’t look at how Xiao Yueqing was usually quite harsh with her, always saying things to frighten her.

But these few simple sentences brought a touch of warmth to Yun Dan’s heart.

She began to feel that Xiao Yueqing might not actually be as detestable as he appeared on the surface.

At least since they’d known each other, he hadn’t really truly hurt her.

Of course, except for his fondness for scaring her.

Yun Dan felt that her courage had been forcibly trained by Xiao Yueqing.

To the point where she could now remain completely unfazed when facing his teasing or attempts to startle her.

She smiled and reached out to pat Xiao Yueqing’s shoulder, saying, “If you’re going to say that, then I’m taking your words seriously. If I really do get poisoned and you don’t come save me, I’ll resent you for the rest of my life. Even as a ghost, I won’t let you off.”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yueqing grabbed her chin, leaned close to her face, and teased, “Won’t let me off even as a ghost? Dream on – you don’t have that chance. A little bean sprout like you wanting to die before me? That’s impossible.”

Yun Dan’s favorability rating for Xiao Yueqing wasn’t high.

She didn’t even really understand him at all.

The only thing that moved her and that she agreed with was his statement that he wouldn’t let her die before him.

So she might as well believe that statement.

But this 15% favorability rating was still quite difficult to manage.

Yun Dan crossed her arms and seriously pondered how she could successfully complete her conquest.

This type of person clearly lacked love from childhood, leading to personality defects later in life.

But this type of person was also the least trusting of human hearts.

So no matter what you did, it was very difficult to enter this type of person’s inner world.

If he easily trusted someone, then he wouldn’t have poison in his body.

What should she do?

Yun Dan could only mutter quietly, “Yeah, I also think legumes have pretty strong vitality. Someone like me is a typical cockroach that can’t be killed – I definitely won’t die that easily.”

Before the two finished talking, there was suddenly a knock at the door.

“Miss Yun, are you asleep?”

Holy crap, why was Dongfang Wuchen coming to find her in the middle of the night?

Yun Dan initially wanted to say she was already asleep.

However, looking at the candle on the table, Yun Dan felt this excuse was too fake.

With the candle lit in the room, it was obvious she wasn’t asleep yet.

“Just a moment.”

Yun Dan looked around the room, thinking about where Xiao Yueqing should hide.

She nudged Xiao Yueqing with her arm, urging him to hide quickly.

“Master, you need to quickly find a place to hide in my room. The person standing outside is Dongfang Wuchen. If he pushes open the door and sees you in my room, my identity will be completely exposed.”

But Xiao Yueqing acted as if this had nothing to do with him, completely indifferent.

As if he wasn’t the one about to be discovered.

“There’s nowhere to hide in your room. You’re not expecting me to hide under the bed, are you?”

That was exactly what Yun Dan had in mind.

Unfortunately, a certain someone was completely uncooperative and absolutely refused to hide under the bed.

“I’m the master of Tianqing Manor – how could I possibly hide under a bed?”

While the two were arguing, the door creaked open…
