After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 7

Yun Dan’s words made Xiao Yueqing recall many things, including thoughts of that woman—the harm she had brought him was something he could never forget.

The most terrifying thing was indeed the human heart.

That woman’s heart was a thousand times, ten thousand times more poisonous than the passion flowers.

“Xiao Yueqing, I’m hungry…” Yun Dan said somewhat embarrassedly. She had been here for so long without eating anything and really couldn’t hold out any longer.

Only then did Xiao Yueqing remember that she probably hadn’t eaten yet, so he smiled and said, “I forgot you haven’t eaten anything yet. Come on.”

He smiled as he extended his hand to her. Under the sunlight, he was warmer than the winter sun.

Many years later, Yun Dan would still recall this scene.

Perhaps it was this very moment back then that made her fall for him at first sight, sealing her fate for life.

Xiao Yueqing led Yun Dan through several corridors to a small courtyard, had her sit down, then turned and went into the small kitchen.

This surprised Yun Dan somewhat. Was this great demon planning to cook himself?

She carefully crept to the outside of the small kitchen and secretly peered in, only to see Xiao Yueqing in his red robes bustling about in the kitchen, his movements flowing like clouds and water.

Indeed, handsome men looked extremely good no matter what they were doing.

Half an hour later, several exquisite dishes were placed before Yun Dan. She held her chopsticks, momentarily at a loss.

She looked at Xiao Yueqing beside her, whose expression remained calm, and hesitated to pick up her chopsticks. After all, the host hadn’t spoken yet—wouldn’t it be improper for her as a guest to start eating?

Seeing her wanting to eat but not daring to, Xiao Yueqing suddenly felt the urge to tease her.

He picked up some food and placed it in her bowl, saying, “You’re not afraid I’ve poisoned this food, are you?”

Yun Dan shook her head and immediately began eating. To her surprise, it was unexpectedly delicious. This great demon could actually cook, and his skills were so good! Her impression of him improved a few more points.

“Demon Lord, I never expected your cooking skills to be so good. If you opened a restaurant, you’d definitely make lots and lots of money.”

“Hmph, how do you know I don’t have restaurants? I have many properties under my name. Whatever you want, I have it.”

My goodness, was he a tycoon?

Yun Dan felt she absolutely had to latch onto this golden thigh. Not only was his martial arts powerful, but most importantly, he was an absolute tycoon. Following him, she should be able to eat well and live luxuriously, right?

“Then could you take me in? I have nowhere to go. How about letting me stay to cook for you?”

“No need. The manor has regular cooks.”

“Then how about taking me as your disciple and teaching me supreme martial arts? Look, do I have any special talents, any natural martial arts genius qualities?”

Yun Dan thought of those time-travel novels she’d read in the modern era—weren’t they all about natural martial arts prodigies? Could she be so lucky too?

But the next second, Xiao Yueqing poured cold water on Yun Dan’s hopes. He looked her up and down, frowned with some disdain, and said, “You’re not a martial arts prodigy.”

Yun Dan refused to give up and extended her hand, placing it in front of him, saying, “How can you tell just by looking? Why don’t you check my pulse?”

“No need to look. I know without checking that you’re not suited for martial arts. I think if you want to practice martial arts, you should try again in your next life.”

Sure enough, Yun Dan’s expression dimmed. How could she be so unlucky? She’d finally transmigrated, and others all had various skills and golden fingers, trampling on scum all the way to the peak of life.

Heavens, could she transmigrate again?

I want to be the female lead!

She poked at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks somewhat irritably while sizing up this bloodthirsty, devilishly charming man before her.

His strange temperament was one thing, but most importantly, he also detested women.

As the only living female creature in the manor, she felt her life was still precarious. Who knew if he might suddenly want to kill her again?

Thinking of this, Yun Dan felt somewhat discouraged and listlessly laid her head on the table, neither speaking nor looking up, which puzzled Xiao Yueqing. Was this little girl angry?

“Alright, alright, I misspoke. I just think it’s better for you as a girl not to practice martial arts. All that fighting and killing really isn’t meaningful, unless you’re like me—doing it to survive.”

For some reason, Yun Dan felt that Xiao Yueqing’s eyes seemed somewhat dim at this moment, making her even more certain that something must have happened to this man, but he was unwilling to talk about it.

Yun Dan was someone who couldn’t keep things to herself. When she didn’t ask about certain things, it was like cat claws scratching at her heart, so she gathered her courage and asked, “Demon Lord, I’m very curious. You’re not that scary in private, but you say you’re the number one great demon of the martial world. Why is this?”

Yun Dan had always believed that no one was born evil.

For a person to become evil, there must be some indispensable reason that would make an originally good person become an absolute villain.

Xiao Yueqing remained silent for a long time, seeming to be thinking about something. After a while, he slowly spoke and asked, “Little Yun Duo, do you know what the most poisonous thing in the world is?”

Poison? Speaking of poison, Yun Dan had only seen such things on TV and in novels. Could there be poison here too?

What was the most poisonous poison? How could she possibly know? If she knew that, wouldn’t she be a poison saint?

She could only shake her head and say, “I don’t know what the most poisonous poison is.”

Yun Dan’s answer didn’t seem to surprise Xiao Yueqing much. Yes, she was a little girl who knew nothing about anything and had fallen from the sky—what would she know?

Although he couldn’t find any trace of her background, this girl was so foolish that if anyone used her as a spy to send to his side, they would truly be the most stupid person.

This girl was clumsy and so naive, so she definitely couldn’t be a spy sent by those righteous martial arts sects.

Xiao Yueqing smiled and said, “This martial world has many, many sects. The most famous for using poison is the Tang Sect. The passion flower seeds come from the Tang Sect.”

Upon hearing “Tang Sect,” Yun Dan immediately became excited.

The Sichuan Tang Sect was a sect famous for using poison in novels and many online games, such as in “Jian Xia Qing Yuan 2” which already had this Tang Sect setting.

Including the game “Jian Wang 3” she played later, which also had the Tang Sect as a faction, nicknamed “Broken Leg Fort.” She remembered when she first played, she could never master the lightness skill and would always fall to her death.

The nickname “Broken Leg Fort” probably came from that, right?

She never expected this world to have it too.

Xiao Yueqing said those passion flower seeds came from the Tang Sect, and he also said it was his mother who planted those passion flowers, so in summary, this meant his mother was from the Tang Sect, or had connections with the Tang Sect?

“Are you from the Tang Sect?” Yun Dan asked tentatively.

Xiao Yueqing neither denied nor confirmed, only said very calmly, “Only the Tang Sect has passion flowers. They’re essential for concocting various poisons. This field of passion flowers was also planted by my mother’s own hands.”
