After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 6

Yun Dan watched as Xiao Yueqing walked step by step toward the passion flowers. She couldn’t guess what he intended to do, but the next second she discovered that Xiao Yueqing had plucked a passion flower and was smelling it.

She instinctively blurted out, “Be careful, the flower is poisonous!”

But Xiao Yueqing just turned his head and smiled at her.

Yun Dan was puzzled—if he knew the passion flower was poisonous, why would he still pick it?

Xiao Yueqing seemed to find it uninteresting and threw the passion flower in his hand to the ground before returning to Yun Dan’s side.

Yun Dan felt somewhat panicked, thinking: surely this person isn’t going to collapse in front of me in a moment?

With this thought, her gaze toward Xiao Yueqing became rather strange.

Naturally, Xiao Yueqing noticed her expression and simply smiled, saying, “I won’t die.”

“Why not? Do you have superpowers?”

But Xiao Yueqing completely ignored the word “superpowers.”

Whether he understood or not was unclear, but he only replied, “I’m immune to all poisons. No poison in this world has any effect on me. So I won’t die. I didn’t expect you would care about me. Aren’t you afraid I want to kill you?”

“Of course I’m afraid, but I can’t just watch you die either. After all, you haven’t done anything bad.” At least not so far.

Xiao Yueqing seemed slightly shocked by Yun Dan’s answer.

In the more than ten years he had dominated the martial arts world, this was the first person to say he hadn’t done anything bad.

He looked at Yun Dan with a somewhat mocking expression and asked, “Little girl, you’re not afraid of me? I’m not a good person, as you should know.”

Yun Dan somewhat embarrassedly touched her nose and said, “Actually, it’s not too bad…” Like hell!

Xiao Yueqing suddenly stepped forward a few paces and gently lifted her chin, saying, “Rumor has it I’m the greatest demon in the martial arts world. All the righteous sects want my life. Are you still not afraid of me?”

Yun Dan’s heart skipped a beat.

“By the way, demon Xiao, why do you say all the righteous martial arts sects want your life?”

“Because I’ve killed some people. Those people wanted my life and tried to assassinate me countless times, only to be killed by me in the end. Then they blamed all the crimes on me.”

“But wouldn’t that count as self-defense? Why should you still be hunted?”

“When someone wants to kill you, do they need to give you a reason? That’s just how this world is. They fear me, so they want to kill me, yet they can’t kill me.”

Yun Dan didn’t quite understand the meaning behind Xiao Yueqing’s words, but she had a feeling this man must have experienced something.

No one is born a villain. For Xiao Yueqing to become a great demon, there must be reasons for his fall to darkness.

Could it be that he suffered some romantic betrayal?

Without thinking, Yun Dan asked, “Did someone dump you, causing you to turn dark?”

Only after speaking did she realize what she had said and immediately shut her mouth.

Xiao Yueqing suddenly turned around to look at Yun Dan upon hearing this. Though he didn’t speak, Yun Dan still felt an Arctic chill in this June weather.

Getting close to him felt like being instantly frozen.

But Xiao Yueqing only asked, “What does ‘dumped’ mean?”

“Uh… I mean, have you ever had a female confidante?”

“Female confidante?”

Xiao Yueqing raised an eyebrow, looking at Yun Dan with some confusion. Why was this woman so annoying, always saying things people couldn’t understand?

Now Yun Dan understood—he couldn’t comprehend anything she said. She had forgotten this was ancient times, not modern times. Really…

“I mean, have you ever liked someone who didn’t like you back?”

“No, I’ve never had anyone I liked. In this lifetime, I’m probably destined to die alone.”

Die alone? Surely not.

This guy’s real face under the mask definitely wasn’t ugly, and this enormous Tianqing Manor was his, meaning he was quite wealthy—a complete package of tall, rich, and handsome. How could no one like him?

Unless those women were blind.

What reason could there be for him to become such a great villain?

Could it really be because he was forced into it by those so-called righteous martial arts sects?

But who could clearly explain the grudges and vendettas of the martial world?

Following such a great villain, food and clothing weren’t a worry, but having one’s head hanging on one’s neck like a pendant every day wasn’t very reassuring.

But being unfamiliar with this place and knowing no one, she definitely couldn’t survive on her own if she left.

Should she go to a brothel to sing for money?

Forget it—she was tone-deaf. If she scared someone with a weak heart to death, wouldn’t the authorities execute her?

Others had voices kissed by angels, but what about herself?

Hers was a cry from hell!

Why was there such a big difference between people?

Yun Dan sighed and looked at Xiao Yueqing in his red robes beside her, unable to help but lament.

They were both human—why could he look like he had cheat codes activated while she was definitely a buy-one-get-one-free supermarket clearance item?

“Xiao Yueqing, did your mother design you in advance from a drawing when she gave birth to you?”

“Don’t mention her. I have no mother. Or rather, she never had me as a son.”

He seemed to have anger in his heart and destroyed a patch of passion flowers with one palm strike, frightening Yun Dan so much she didn’t dare breathe.

Knowing she had angered Xiao Yueqing, she could only obediently shut her mouth. Yun Dan couldn’t guarantee that while he was normal one second, he wouldn’t want to kill her the next.

In this world, it was better to be careful with one’s words.

But the next second, Xiao Yueqing suddenly apologized to her. “I’m sorry, I was too harsh with you.”

Yun Dan really hadn’t expected Xiao Yueqing to apologize to her. Actually, she hadn’t taken it to heart at all—his tone hadn’t really been that fierce.

Looking at the beautiful passion flowers before them, they really were beautiful. Indeed, the more beautiful something was, the more poisonous it was. But what about him?

He was also very beautiful.

Yun Dan became lost in thought as she looked, and just then Xiao Yueqing turned his head, causing their gazes to collide directly.

But Yun Dan wasn’t particularly embarrassed—after all, if she looked away now, wouldn’t that show a guilty conscience?

“What are you thinking about?”

Xiao Yueqing didn’t seem to mind Yun Dan looking at him this way. Even he found it strange—normally, if any woman stared at him like this, he would have already lost his temper.

Yun Dan smiled and said, “I was thinking you must be very good-looking, like these passion flowers—beautiful and never wilting. I just don’t understand why you wear a mask to cover the upper half of your face.”

“Passion flowers are poisonous, as I’ve said. The more beautiful something is, the more poisonous it is. Aren’t you afraid I’m also poisonous?”

“If you’re poisonous, then it would be the poison of passion—it would only make people lose their souls over you, willing to live and die for you.”

“How so? Aren’t you afraid of the poisons in this world?”

Yun Dan sighed and said, “Afraid? How could I not be afraid? I’m someone who fears death above all else. But Xiao Yueqing, you must understand—the most terrifying things in this world aren’t necessarily poisons that destroy lives. The most poisonous thing in this world is the human heart.”

Xiao Yueqing seemed to ponder thoughtfully, murmuring, “The human heart…”
