After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 99

Yun Dan clutched at Yan Ke’s collar, feeling as if she could barely breathe.

“Am I going to die? I feel like I can’t breathe… I knew the Tang Sect wanted to poison me to death. What did I ever do to deserve this!”

All this time at the Tang Sect, she had been so careful, rarely even leaving her courtyard.

Who would have thought she still couldn’t escape their schemes?

“What is Passion Intoxication? Am I going to turn into a pile of bones tomorrow? If I die, can you cremate me? Otherwise my master will really turn me into flower fertilizer. I’m so useless, I couldn’t even avoid such a petty scheme…”

The Passion Intoxication made Yun Dan’s mind unclear, causing her to forget who was in front of her.

Yan Ke pressed his lips together.

He grasped one of Yun Dan’s hands and said, “I won’t let you die. Rest here for a moment.”

Then he ran out.

Yun Dan didn’t know what was happening, only sensing that someone seemed to have left.

Before long, the door was pushed open again, and the person who entered was none other than Xiao Yueqing.

Xiao Yueqing had hesitated for a long time, but ultimately decided to come in his true identity.

He slowly walked to Yun Dan and sat down, touching her head.

“Don’t be afraid. Master is here.”

Hearing that familiar title, Yun Dan struggled and threw herself into his arms like a child.

“Master, the Tang Sect is so dangerous. Why does everyone want to harm me? I’ve been so obedient—you told me not to go out, so I didn’t. I just went for a walk during the day, thinking I’d stay near the courtyard, but then I was schemed against at night.”

Seeing Yun Dan like this, Xiao Yueqing felt somewhat reluctant.

After all, she was just a young girl.

Moreover, he was the one who had forcibly brought her into this jianghu world, exposing her to so many unknown dangers.

She shouldn’t have had to experience such a life, but he had forced it all upon her.

At the end of the day, he bore responsibility for this Passion Intoxication situation too.

Tonight those old bastards at the Tang Sect had plied him with much wine and arranged Yun Dan’s seat so far away that he couldn’t watch over her.

Most critically, when Yun Dan left, he hadn’t followed—that’s what allowed this to happen to her.

But Passion Intoxication…

Passion Intoxication was a secret drug of the Tang Sect. There was no antidote for it.

Unless…

Forget it. If she resented him, at worst he’d let her stab him tomorrow to vent her anger.

“Master, did you not light the lamp? I can’t seem to see…”

At these words, Xiao Yueqing became extremely alert.

This was the second stage of Passion Intoxication—it would cause temporary blindness.

But if the Passion Intoxication wasn’t resolved, in less than two hours, Yun Dan would truly die.

He removed his mask and set it aside, knowing that since Yun Dan couldn’t see right now, she wouldn’t recognize him.

He bent down and said softly, “Little Yun Duo, don’t be afraid. I won’t let you die unless I die first. I told you—your life is mine. No one can take it except me.”

Yun Dan’s eyes widened instantly because she realized someone had kissed her.

She couldn’t see the person in front of her, but she knew it was Xiao Yueqing.

But why did this fragrance seem so familiar?

Who was it?

Xiao Yueqing took a deep breath, pressing his forehead against hers.

“If you feel… pain, then bite… me.”

Yun Dan didn’t yet understand what Xiao Yueqing meant by this.

But the next second, she knew.

Yun Dan desperately pushed him away with her arms.

Xiao Yueqing steadied his emotions slightly before saying softly, “If that’s the case, then for this lifetime, I’ll be yours.”

“Master, why…”

Though Yun Dan’s mind was unclear right now, that didn’t mean she understood nothing.

But she didn’t understand why Xiao Yueqing would…

“Call me by my name. Don’t call me Master.”

“Xiao Yueqing… Yueqing… why are you…”

But Xiao Yueqing lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “There’s no why. Except for me, no one can take your life. And I won’t allow you to die unless I die first. Even if we must die, I’ll die before you.”

Yun Dan didn’t understand—what should have been painful somehow seemed less so because of these words.

She didn’t understand why Xiao Yueqing was saying these things to her.

But soon, she had no mental energy left to think about anything else.

The man, once he began moving with passion, was like a ten-thousand-year glacier covered in ice and snow finally warmed by a corner of sunlight.

Accompanied by the faint fragrance of plum blossoms, it was as if one were immersed in winter’s flourishing flowers.

Plum blossom fragrance…

It truly smelled wonderful…

Yun Dan felt as if she were caught in a rushing river—like a drowning person desperately grasping at a life-saving piece of driftwood.

After everything ended, Xiao Yueqing fetched some water to clean both of them.

Seeing that Yun Dan had returned to normal, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At least she wouldn’t die.

He touched Yun Dan’s hair. From now on, she would be his girl.

[Ding—Target Xiao Yueqing’s favorability increased by 20%. Current favorability: 60%]

When Yun Dan woke the next day, everything that had happened last night flooded back into her mind.

But more than anything, she felt furious.

She pulled out the hairpin from her hair and stabbed it into Xiao Yueqing’s shoulder.

The masked man finally woke up, only to see Yun Dan piercing his shoulder with her hairpin.

But he didn’t resist.

“If you feel this will make you feel better, I don’t mind if you stab me a few more times.”

In the end, Yun Dan couldn’t bear to strike again and casually tossed the hairpin aside.

She struggled to get up.

However, after just two steps, the pain made her collapse to the floor.

Xiao Yueqing immediately moved to help her, but she flung his hand away.

“Don’t touch me! I can walk by myself.”

Yun Dan finally struggled to her feet, then turned to question Xiao Yueqing.

“Master, why did you…”

Xiao Yueqing knew what he’d done was wrong.

After all, in this era, ruining someone’s chastity was no different from forcing them to die.

But he didn’t regret it.

“Someone drugged you with Passion Intoxication. If I hadn’t saved you, you would have died. It’s my fault. If you don’t feel satisfied, you can stab me a few more times.”

In the end, Yun Dan didn’t strike.

What grounds did she have to blame Xiao Yueqing?

Blame him for saving her?

It was just that waking up to discover she’d lost her virginity—anyone would have trouble accepting that immediately.

She hadn’t deliberately stabbed him with the hairpin; it was just instinctive.

“Alright, I’ll send you back to the Tang Sect. It’s not yet dawn, so they won’t discover where you went. As for the rest, if you don’t wish to see me again, I can avoid appearing. But rest assured—I won’t let the person who schemed against you get away with it.”

After Yun Dan returned to the Tang Sect, she immediately burrowed into her blankets.

Don’t be fooled by her usually carefree manner, as if she didn’t care about anything.

But fundamentally, she was still an innocent young girl.

Moreover, this was her own body, not a pile of virtual data, so it was truly difficult to accept all at once.
