After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 53

“Alright, alright, it’s all my fault. I was just trying to joke with you. But if you keep hammering me like this, Master is going to be beaten to death by you. Master’s body isn’t well, so take it easy.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Dan immediately panicked.

She quickly grabbed Xiao Yueqing’s shoulders, looking him up and down several times, and asked urgently, “Master, are you okay? I wasn’t really angry just now, I just got too worked up for a moment, which is why I hammered you several times. If I really hurt you, I would be heartbroken.”

Xiao Yueqing didn’t believe these words.

What did she mean by “if something happened to him, she would be heartbroken”?

Moreover, Xiao Yueqing never believed that anyone would feel sad for him.

“Are you really worried about me?”

Yun Dan didn’t understand what he meant and just answered honestly. “Of course, if you died I would definitely be sad. After all, you’re my first friend in this place. Although you’re a bit fierce and like to scare me, if you died I would be very sad. Who would want their friend to leave?”

Although Xiao Yueqing often liked to frighten her, Yun Dan had truly never thought of wanting him to come to harm.

In Yun Dan’s view, this great demon lord, aside from liking to scare her, had never done anything to actually hurt her.

Xiao Yueqing lazily stretched, pillowing one hand behind his head, and said, “It seems you still have some conscience. Having a disciple like you is actually quite a good thing. Master is deeply gratified.”

“However, this Dongfang Wuchen seems to care about you too much. You and he are ultimately on different paths, and remember your own identity—you’re a spy. Mingyue Manor cannot accommodate you. Moreover, Mulan has always liked to eliminate all threats. If Dongfang Wuchen really likes you and she finds out, you’ll be in trouble.”

He understood Mulan all too well.

That’s why he could conclude that Dongfang Wuchen was the most unsuitable person for Yun Dan.

He had never thought about who Yun Dan might end up with in the future.

But if she were with Dongfang Wuchen, she wouldn’t be able to get past Mulan.

Not to mention anything else.

“Moreover, behind Mulan is the Tang Sect. Dongfang Wuchen is also a descendant of the Tang Sect. To become the manor’s lady here is not an easy thing. Those old fellows from the Tang Sect are no good either, so you should be more careful.”

In Xiao Yueqing’s view, although the Tang Sect wasn’t here for now, there was no guarantee that Mulan wouldn’t call them over.

Based on Xiao Yueqing’s understanding of the Tang Sect, if this group knew of Yun Dan’s existence, or if Dongfang Wuchen took a liking to Yun Dan, neither would be a good thing.

If it were just Mulan alone, with Dongfang Wuchen here and Mulan favoring her son, she naturally wouldn’t do anything to Yun Dan openly.

But if she called those old fellows over, even Dongfang Wuchen wouldn’t be able to protect her.

Yun Dan didn’t realize it would be this serious.

But thinking about Dongfang Wuchen’s obviously higher favorability rating than Xiao Yueqing’s, Yun Dan felt like she had one head but two big problems!

“Then I’ll just have to work harder. To be honest, I don’t have any feelings for Wuchen, but he’s a good person, so I’ll just consider it giving him a nice guy card. But that Mulan is really something, so narcissistic, thinking I like her son. She really made me laugh, even saying she’d make me a concubine.

Bah! I’ll only become a wife, never a concubine. If I marry someone, that man can only marry me alone, otherwise I’ll chop him up!”

Regardless of whether she would fall in love or not, she was a modern person born and raised in contemporary times.

She couldn’t accept the so-called “three wives and four concubines” system.

So no matter whether she would have someone she liked, that person could only love her alone.

This was the first time Xiao Yueqing had heard such a statement.

Chop him up?

What a novel idea.

Xiao Yueqing sat up, crossed his arms and leaned against the window, just looking at her like this.

“Chop him up? You’re really quite capable.”

Yun Dan glared back somewhat defiantly.

“Hmph, that’s how you deal with scumbags. Master, you must never look for a master’s wife. I’m afraid you’ll become a scumbag. If you become a scumbag, I’ll be the first one to chop you up, Master.”

Xiao Yueqing: “……”

He suddenly felt that after living for twenty-eight years, he really couldn’t out-argue a child.

This was simply too much of a failure.

Now that it was getting late, Xiao Yueqing didn’t want to delay any longer.

If he stayed here too long, it probably wouldn’t be good.

So he got up, reached out to pinch her face and said, “I’m leaving. Take care of yourself. Apply the ointment I gave you more often—apply it a few times and you’ll be fine. Remember all the things Master told you tonight. Master won’t harm you. Your life belongs to me alone, and no one can take it away.”

Yun Dan nodded vigorously.

“Master, don’t worry. This disciple is most afraid of death, so there’s absolutely no way I would court death.”

Just kidding—she really valued her life.

However, before Xiao Yueqing left, Yun Dan thought about it and added, “There are especially many surveillance people in this Mingyue Manor, and recently that manor lady has kept many people in the manor. I think she must be plotting something big, wanting to make a grand move.

Master should be more careful when you come to the manor in the future. The security will definitely be tighter, and it wouldn’t be good if you got hurt. Although I don’t know what conflicts you and Mulan have, Master should still be more careful.”

For other matters, Yun Dan thought she would go pump Dongfang Wuchen for information.

After all, he was Mulan’s biological son—surely he wouldn’t be completely ignorant about his own mother?

Xiao Yueqing was stunned for a moment.

He hadn’t expected that Yun Dan would actually care about him.

But he still nodded and said:,”Good, I’ll be careful. You be careful too.”

After leaving Yun Dan’s room, Xiao Yueqing’s heart couldn’t calm down.

Only after returning to his own room did Xiao Yueqing remove his mask.

Lying on the bed, he couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.

Logically speaking, he wasn’t someone who was easily soft-hearted.

Because he had learned too many lessons that taught him not to trust others too much.

Especially women.

But Yun Dan seemed to have crashed into his world out of nowhere, smashing open a gap in his heart.

Usually, he had long grown accustomed to being alone.

Aside from Yue Po, no one cared about how he was doing, whether he would get hurt, or whether he would be sad.

“Clearly short and stupid and unable to protect herself, yet she still wants to care about me. Little girl, you really are a…”

He wouldn’t fear any harm.

But now he was shaken by this trace of innocence.

He picked up his mask, holding it in his hand to examine it.

He had worn this mask for nearly twenty years.

“From childhood, mother never liked me. She said I looked like my father, and seeing me made her angry. From then on, I wore a mask, and I’ve worn it for over twenty years. No wonder you can’t recognize me—have you forgotten that I exist?”
