After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 90

This was the first time Xiao Yueqing felt that Yun Dan was actually quite foolish.

But on second thought, what she said didn’t seem wrong at all.

In his own eyes, he indeed didn’t see Yun Dan as a woman.

Sometimes, it was like keeping a pet.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have tolerated her staying by his side.

Of course, the most important reason he didn’t reject Yun Dan was that she wouldn’t be like Tang Huairou—having such strong ulterior motives toward him and clinging so persistently.

Being stuck with Tang Huairou was the thing Xiao Yueqing regretted most in this life.

Three years ago, he really shouldn’t have been coaxed and cajoled into representing the Heavenly Sword Sect.

He should have just refused directly.

Or simply sat and watched the show.

What the hell kind of “tournament for a bride”—it was clearly just a competition for the position of martial arts alliance leader.

At times like this, Xiao Yueqing was glad he had two identities.

The identity of Xiao Yueqing allowed him to avoid Tang Huairou most of the time.

But this time, he probably really had to go to the Tang Sect.

There were still three treasure maps missing.

Time couldn’t be delayed any longer.

After Yun Dan had recovered, they set off for the Tang Sect under Yan Ke’s lead.

For this sect that only existed in martial arts games, Yun Dan felt both fearful and excited.

Yan Ke was quite the enjoyer of leisure, directly renting a boat and leisurely heading toward the Tang Sect.

Looking at Yan Ke lying on a deck chair not far away, basking in the sun, Yun Dan couldn’t help but complain, “Is this a vacation? First time I’ve seen someone so unhurried.”

But now that she had some free time, Yun Dan remembered about the conquest progress.

“By the way, System, what’s Xiao Yueqing’s current favorability toward me? I seem to remember it was 20%, but I’m not sure if I remembered wrong.”

[Dear Player, the current affection level of the target character Xiao Yueqing is 40%. Please continue your efforts.]

40?

Yun Dan scratched her head, thinking that in her memory the favorability was only 20%. How could the system say it was 40%?

“That’s not right? I remember in my memory the favorability was only 20%. Where did that extra 20% come from?”

The system naturally wouldn’t say.

As an auxiliary system, it generally wouldn’t interfere with human choices.

Although it would issue some instant tasks, those were all based on the premise of helping the player with the conquest.

As for the conquest target’s dual identity, the player would have to discover that on their own.

Though the Death-Courting System didn’t have human emotions, its programmed settings told it that everything it did was right, everything was to help Yun Dan complete her tasks better.

Since the system was unwilling to say, Yun Dan didn’t plan to dig deeper.

After all, this free increase in favorability—why not take it!

“I really hope I can keep being this lucky. Maybe next time I think about it, I’ll find the favorability is almost full, and then I can go back.”

[Player, you wish…]

“Hehe, I’m just thinking out loud. Of course I know this kind of thing is basically impossible. I can only say that without me knowing, Xiao Yueqing’s favorability increased. But I’m quite curious how the favorability increased. He’s not actually into NTR, is he? Should I get a bit closer to Yan Ke then?”

Yun Dan thought, anyway it was already at 40%, only 60% away from going back.

And on this journey, it was just her and Yan Ke—this was a golden opportunity.

Why not give it a try?

Of course the system wouldn’t stop her.

After all, Yan Ke was Xiao Yueqing, and if the player was willing to be more proactive, it would actually help the conquest even more.

40% favorability was quite remarkable for this male lead.

Seeing that Yan Ke hadn’t woken up yet, Yun Dan lay down on the deck chair beside him.

“I always thought when you said we were going to the Tang Sect, it would be a rush, but I didn’t expect you to rent such a boat and go so leisurely. By the time we arrive, the others will probably have been there for several days. Will they gossip about us?”

Yan Ke didn’t open his eyes, just casually replied, “Mouths are on other people’s bodies. Whatever they want to say is their business. Besides, if they make me unhappy, I can just leave.”

These words were indeed not wrong.

But Yun Dan knew she couldn’t leave the Tang Sect.

Because she was Xiao Yueqing’s spy. Hearing Yan Ke say this, she immediately panicked and hurried to persuade him.

“No way! We’ve already come this far, it would be bad to just leave. I heard the Tang Sect is also quite a large sect. I often heard people mention it when I was young. Let’s go take a look.”

Yan Ke’s lips curved into a smile.

He thought, this silly girl hadn’t forgotten she was a spy.

Perhaps because he’d been lying down too long, Yan Ke himself felt a bit tired. He stood up, waved the folding fan in his hand, and walked to the side of the boat, wanting to look at the scenery on both banks.

But some people, even without intending to become scenery in others’ eyes, still couldn’t escape others’ pursuit due to their outstanding appearance.

Sure enough, as soon as Yan Ke walked to the side of the boat, many women on both banks noticed him.

“Young master on the boat, what is your name? Are you married?”

“Young master, young master, why don’t you come down and sit for a bit?”

This was the first time Yun Dan had witnessed such a scene.

Although she already knew Yan Ke was quite popular, she hadn’t expected to encounter this kind of thing just sitting on a boat.

Yun Dan was just about to say something when Yan Ke pulled her, causing her to lose her balance and nearly fall into his arms.

The women on both banks, seeing this, finally stopped their words.

Yun Dan belatedly realized that Yan Ke was using her as a shield.

She complained somewhat indignantly, “You’re the one attracting bees and butterflies all along, yet you’re using me as a shield. What if these women hold a grudge against me? Where would I go to cry?”

“How could I use Miss Yun as a shield? I just wanted you to see the scenery. This is the Jiangnan water town—don’t you think standing by the boat lets you see the scenery better?”

Looking at scenery was fine.

But Yun Dan didn’t believe a single word Yan Ke said.

This was clearly deliberately making her act as the shield.

She didn’t know what he was thinking.

Anyway, Yun Dan was quite angry.

She stamped her feet and walked away huffily.

Watching Yun Dan’s retreating figure, Yan Ke also felt a bit awkward.

“Oh no, this little girl seems to be angry. Did I take the joke too far?”

He’d never been so close with a woman before, so naturally he wasn’t clear about what women liked.

“Should I… go coax her? But I don’t know what women like.”

Thinking about it, tonight the boat would dock at the shore. When that time came, he’d go down and see if there was anything he could buy to give her.
