After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 56

Yun Dan thought that Yan Ke should restrain himself a bit, but discovered that when facing Tang Huairou’s pestering, Yan Ke didn’t show any mercy at all.

He never considered that she was a girl, and the words he spoke were simply too hurtful.

He casually placed her whip on the stone table, then coldly replied, “Where I go, what does my whereabouts have to do with you? Who exactly are you to me? Must I report everything to you? Miss Tang, don’t be so annoying.”

In the martial world, there were countless women who liked him. He had encountered all kinds of persistent pursuers before, but none had made him as disgusted as Tang Huairou did.

If not for certain matters, he wouldn’t want to come to Mingyue Manor at all.

Who knew this woman would learn of the news and rush back directly from the Tang Sect.

Yan Ke just couldn’t understand it.

Tang Huairou had been pestering him for three years, using every possible method.

The worst incident was when she drugged him.

But Tang Huairou had overlooked one thing – he was immune to all poisons, so those substances had no effect on him whatsoever.

Moreover, his profound internal energy was sufficient to expel the drugs.

However, Yan Ke wasn’t someone who truly wouldn’t retaliate.

What he hated most in his life was being schemed against.

Especially by women.

So he tied up Tang Huairou and threw her into the river, letting her soak in the cold water all night.

That incident caused Tang Huairou to catch a cold and lie bedridden for a long time.

But Yan Ke didn’t feel he had done anything wrong.

Tang Huairou had drugged him first; he had merely given her a small punishment.

The crime didn’t warrant death, which was why Yan Ke had spared her life.

These words fell upon Tang Huairou’s ears and completely broke her heart.

For three years, Tang Huairou had been pursuing Yan Ke. The entire martial world knew that Tang Huairou liked the Young Master Luoyue and had been pursuing him for a long time.

Every confession was rejected.

But Tang Huairou still wouldn’t give up.

Almost every time she got news of where the Young Master Luoyue was going, she would follow.

She also extremely disliked those who wanted to compete with her for Young Master Luoyue.

After all, Tang Huairou had always believed that she would be Young Master Luoyue’s future wife, never considering that her feelings were unrequited and that she had been openly rejected for three years.

“Three years – is your heart made of stone?”

Originally, Yan Ke didn’t want to say any more hurtful words.

Especially in front of Yun Dan.

He thought that Tang Huairou was, after all, the young miss of Mingyue Manor, and he was a guest, so he should at least give this half-host some face.

But he hadn’t expected Tang Huairou to be like a piece of dog excrement, clinging to him relentlessly.

Therefore, Yan Ke couldn’t care about others being present anymore.

He threw the whip to Tang Huairou and said, “Haven’t I already told you these words three years ago? Haven’t I said them enough times in these three years? You’ve been deceiving yourself all along.

Miss Tang, I’m a crude person who doesn’t deserve you. You, this celestial fairy, deserve better. I’m afraid I cannot bear such good fortune. I came to Mingyue Manor because the old manor lord invited me.

Last night I treated your father’s injuries for most of the night, and now I’m tired. I don’t really want to argue with you. If you have so much energy, why don’t you go check on your father first?”

Women were truly troublesome.

Especially ones like Tang Huairou.

Of course, someone like Yun Dan was quite interesting.

Just like keeping a… little pet, wasn’t it?

Tang Huairou’s heart skipped a beat, thinking that she had indeed made a mistake by not even knowing her father was injured.

Originally, her father didn’t pay much attention to her.

Plus, with mother having passed away so many years ago, his heart and eyes only held his current wife Mulan and her son Dongfang Wuchen.

After much consideration, Tang Huairou decided to go check on Dongfang Jue first.

But before leaving, Tang Huairou still glared at Yun Dan.

“Hmph, I’m just concerned about my father. This doesn’t mean I’ll give up. You should know my patience.”

Watching Tang Huairou’s retreating figure, Yun Dan couldn’t help but sigh. “They say beauties bring disaster, but Young Master Yan Ke, you’re a handsome man bringing disaster. I really didn’t expect such a great beauty to pursue you for three years without you being moved at all. Do you really have the Long Yang preference?”

Upon hearing this, Yan Ke slightly turned his head to look at Yun Dan.

He used his fan to gently lift her chin, leaning close and saying, “Long Yang preference? Who told you that? Was it those gossiping servants in this manor? Or is it just your personal speculation? Since Miss Yun is so curious, why don’t you try it personally? See whether I have the Long Yang preference or not?”

Yun Dan pushed Yan Ke away with one motion.

She retreated several steps backward, creating some distance between them.

“Young Master Luoyue, this isn’t proper, is it? Men and women shouldn’t have physical contact, and I feel you probably don’t like women anyway, so don’t force yourself.”

Actually, what she wanted to say was:

Looking like this, probably neither men nor women could be worthy of him.

Yan Ke straightened his sleeves.

Upon hearing this, he glanced at her and said, “I indeed don’t particularly like dealing with women, because women are rather troublesome in my eyes. But who made them like me and enjoy following me around pestering me?”

Hah.

If any ordinary man had said such words, Yun Dan would only think this was some delusional man speaking such narcissistic words.

But when these words came from Yan Ke’s mouth, there was no sense of discomfort at all.

Because he was indeed too beautiful.

Having just experienced a farce, but at least it let Yun Dan watch a good show, so her mood was quite good at the moment.

Having stood for so long, she was somewhat tired. Yun Dan sat down at the table again and quickly took a cup of tea and drained it in one gulp.

After watching the excitement for so long, she was quite thirsty.

Of course, Yun Dan also enthusiastically poured a cup for Yan Ke.

“Young Master Luoyue, I’m very curious about what exactly happened between you and Miss Tang these three years? I hadn’t heard about these things before, but learned about them from the servants in the manor. I heard she’s been pursuing you all along.”

Yun Dan hadn’t originally intended to come and gossip, but having encountered such juicy gossip, she had to have a good taste of it.

Yan Ke also sat down across from Yun Dan, though his words contained no anger.

“My acquaintance with Tang Huairou originated from a martial arts gathering three years ago. Heavenly Sword Sect was also within the invitation range, but the sect master was too busy to go, so he sent me instead.

At that time, Miss Tang was young and spirited. She came up and wanted to challenge our Heavenly Sword Sect, so I could only spar with her. Of course, she lost in the end – how could she possibly defeat me? But I didn’t expect this Miss Tang to actually cry. Guess what? She actually said I bullied her.”

TL/N:

龍陽君 (Lord Longyang) was a favored male companion of King Anxi of Wei during the Warring States period.

Because of this, “龍陽” later became shorthand for male homosexuality or a male lover in Chinese literature.
