Chapter 1674: Chapter 1673: Why Are You Arresting ?
Qiao Xiaomai rolled her eyes upon hearing that. “Nonsense, I don’t know martial arts, so I don’t have any inner strength to protect .”
Bei Yun chuckled in response and tightened the curtain.
Qiao Xiaomai glared at him and asked, “Where are you taking ?”
“Longshi Country.”
“Deceiving Lingsu—do you feel no sha in your heart?” Qiao Xiaomai asked coldly.
“I’m an animal, and animals don’t have hearts.” Bei Yun laughed softly as he said this.
Qiao Xiaomai let out an icy snort. “Then why didn’t you just knock out?”
“The journey is boring. Having you around to talk to makes it better.”
“You’re riding a carriage. Aren’t you afraid the Divine Crossbow Team will catch up from behind?”
“Not at all. One cos, one dies. Two co, two die. I easily captured a Guard Team of two thousand n; what’s a few hundred from the Divine Crossbow Team?” Bei Yun said, casually picking up the Divine Crossbow beside him and toying with it.
This past year, he’d already morized the crossbow’s exterior details, though he hadn’t yet seen the internal workings—which sparked his curiosity.
Qiao Xiaomai watched his movents and gritted her teeth. “How did you regain your inner strength?”
This was her biggest hope for turning the tables.
Bei Lingsu had been feeding him dication every month to suppress his inner strength, but it seed the dicine had no effect on him.
Bei Lingsu had been careless.
No, to be precise, her kindness had limited her imagination. She hadn’t expected Bei Yun to pull off such a move—lying low in the Capital City for a year before suddenly striking.
Bei Yun’s attention was half-focused on the Divine Crossbow. Without lifting his head, he replied, “I had contacts in the Capital City. I sent them ssages and exchanged dicines while pretending to see doctors or sell Floral Dew. I concocted the antidote myself.”
“Who are your contacts?” Qiao Xiaomai demanded.
This ti, Bei Yun finally looked up. He smiled slyly at Qiao Xiaomai and said, “That’s a secret.”
“You’ve already captured . Even if I knew who they were, I couldn’t get the word out. So why not tell ?”
“Not necessarily. You’ve got the聚宝盆 (rare artifact). Who knows? You might have so hidden ans to pass on the ssage.”
Qiao Xiaomai: “…You actually believe I have the 聚宝盆?”
“Why else would I capture you?” Bei Yun retorted.
Qiao Xiaomai rolled her eyes furiously. “Who knows what twisted things an animal like you is thinking?”
“I just think you have the 聚宝盆. You can make loads of money, so I kidnapped you.”
“Does Longshi Country even need money?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.
“Not really. They’ve got plenty of gemstones, gold mines, and silver mines.”
“Then why capture ?” Qiao Xiaomai glared at him.
“The 聚宝盆 doesn’t just generate wealth. It also has all sorts of novel recipes and techniques. Whether it’s your Floral Dew or cooking skills, I like them both.” Bei Yun’s smile stretched wide, his eyes narrowing in amusent.
“For an entire year in the Capital, the poison in my body hasn’t acted up once. When Aunt Lingsu asked, I told her I was secretly taking dicine. I lied. The poison in my body hasn’t acted up even once; I don’t need dicine anymore.”
“Do you know why the poison in hasn’t flared up?”
“The heavens must be blind,” Qiao Xiaomai replied, although her heart skipped a beat. She made sure her face betrayed nothing.
Could it be that the Spiritual Spring water had sothing to do with it…?
Sure enough, in the next mont, Bei Yun smiled and said, “Because I drank the Floral Dew you made! Not only does it taste great, but it’s also helped suppress and mitigate the poison in my body. I really do appreciate you.”
Qiao Xiaomai: “…”
Dammit, dammit!
“Are you ssing with ? My Floral Dew can suppress your poison? You’re giving way too much credit!” She struggled to hide the storm in her heart, trying hard to look shocked instead.
