Help, What Should I Do If The Person Who Likes Me Is a Yandere! - Chapter 52:

Chapter 52: Truly, You Can’t Judge a Book by Its Cover:

Emotions could be quite subtle under certain circumstances. Take Chu Junhan, for instance. Since childhood, she has been the center of attention, and everyone around her has treated her with the utmost respect. The men who surrounded her were all rising stars, young and talented. This made Chu Junhan’s standards exceptionally high, almost as if she saw all men as insignificant.

Unfortunately, this lofty mindset was completely shattered during the day at the Dragon Yang Inn. With a casual pinch of two fingers, her sword—empowered by nearly 90% of her profound energy—was effortlessly neutralized. The man who slowly emerged from the dust seemed as radiant as the rising sun, instantly washing away the pride in Chu Junhan’s heart.

To put it simply, it was the first time Chu Junhan had ever seen such a handsome man, and her heart had fallen in love. At 16 or 17, she was at the age of youthful infatuation. Though the men around her were excellent, they seemed too ordinary, failing to pique her interest.

But Xu Ze was different. His talent and strength far surpassed her own, and his status as the personal disciple of Leng Youran, the peak Supreme Realm and the Holy Son of the Heavenly Dark Sect, was no less impressive than hers.

Even so…

“No! This isn’t right! I’m not some shallow woman who falls for a pretty face!” Chu Junhan tried to convince herself. “The only reason I’m here is to get back the Jade Ring Sword that the Alliance Master gave me!”

Hiding in the bushes, Chu Junhan kept repeating this to herself. Yet, these words lacked any real conviction. Since entering the royal palace, she had deliberately concealed her connection to Xu Ze. She even went out of her way to gather information on where the Heavenly Dark Sect disciples were staying, clearly with ulterior motives.

Even in the dark, her flushed cheeks were impossibly bright.

“Anyway, don’t overthink it. That guy’s room had its lights on earlier, so he must have returned. Now’s my chance…” Chu Junhan was just about to emerge from the bushes when she suddenly heard faint footsteps in the night.

Suddenly startled, she quickly ducked back into hiding. Peering through the gaps in the bushes, she saw a small figure, just as sneaky as she was, coming into view from the other side.

Huh? Chu Junhan was momentarily confused. Who was that?

Although she couldn’t see the person’s face clearly, she could faintly sense that it was a girl. And judging by the outfit, the girl was likely a disciple of the Heavenly Dark Sect!

She watched as the small figure crouched outside the room’s door, peeking through the crack. The sight filled Chu Junhan with disdain.

“Hmph! A girl sneaking around at night outside a man’s room, engaging in such shameless behavior!” She muttered self-righteously, completely unaware that she was doing the exact same thing.

She wanted to stand up and loudly reprimand this vulgar girl. But in the next moment, the door suddenly opened, and Xu Ze appeared with no expression on his face. He grabbed the girl peeking through the door and dragged her inside.

“Master Holy Son, I was wrong! I’ll go back to bed right away! Please, don’t spank me… Ahhh!”

The pitiful screams coming from inside made Chu Junhan gasp. She had been about to step out of the bushes, but now she was trembling, frozen in place.

Hitting people? That… that’s terrifying! Is this what the Heavenly Dark Sect’s Holy Son is really like?

It was said that Leng Youran, the Heavenly Dark Sect’s sect master, was known as the “Ruthless Supreme” for her cold and heartless ways. But who would have thought that her disciple would be just as ruthless?

That girl was spying on him out of admiration! Why hit her for that?

And those screams were so pitiful… He wouldn’t actually beat her to death, would he?

Wait. Wasn’t her situation right now pretty similar to that girl’s? If she got caught, would she be beaten too?

Chu Junhan hugged her legs, her face pale, her eyelids twitching nervously.

…

Inside the room.

Looking down at Gu Ling’er, who was lying on his lap, covering her face and screaming, Xu Ze shook his hand, his face full of suspicion.

[Mission Progress: 50% Complete]

Even after putting so much effort into spanking her, the mission was only halfway done? Did that mean the so-called ‘intruder’ wasn’t just Gu Ling’er? Was there someone else outside?

Gu Ling’er, her face flushed with embarrassment, lay on Xu Ze’s lap. Being spanked by the Holy Son like this was so humiliating, so shameful. Yet, for some reason… she also felt a tiny bit happy.

After all, this meant she had physically interacted with the Holy Son, right? In a way, the Holy Son spanking her could be interpreted as a sign of affection!

And besides, the Holy Son’s legs were so comfortable to lie on!

Hehehe…

With her eyes twinkling, Gu Ling’er cradled her blushing face and turned to look at Xu Ze.

“Hehehe, Master Holy Son… why did you stop?” she asked.

“…”

“Are you not going to spank me anymore? If you want to, Ling’er can endure it. You can hit me harder; I can definitely handle it!” she added.

“…”

Xu Ze was stunned. He never imagined that this soft, cute girl had such a peculiar taste.

Truly, one couldn’t judge a book by its cover!
