Chapter 1709: Chapter 1708: Qiao Xiaomai Got Scared
“Hey, I don’t like what you said. What do you an ‘die together with ’? I’m not the one dying.” Bei Yun said, waving his finger in the air.
His face still carried a smile, making Qiao Xiaomai wish she could pull out a gun from thin air and shoot him dead.
This beast, this demon—how many more people does he plan to harm? Why doesn’t heaven intervene and take him away? Why doesn’t a bolt of lightning strike him dead?
Bei Yun saw Qiao Xiaomai glaring at him with reddened eyes but remaining silent. He chuckled and continued, “Are you cursing in your heart? Don’t bottle it up. If you’ve got sothing nasty to say, go ahead and curse to my face. Don’t hold it in and hurt yourself. If sothing happens to you, then where will my Floral Dew co from? Curse if you want, but don’t keep it bottled up.”
“Even if I die, I won’t make another jar of Floral Dew for you.” Qiao Xiaomai gritted her teeth and said.
“No need for that, is there?” Bei Yun looked slightly surprised.
“Why not? A monster like you living even one more day ans one more day of slaughter.”
“But I have herbal dicine that can suppress the poison in my body. I don’t necessarily need to drink your Floral Dew. If you don’t make it, you won’t be able to earn any silver.”
“I don’t need that silver. If I earn it only for you to deliver it to the other side and then send along a gift that causes a plague?!” Qiao Xiaomai spat furiously.
“Such naïveté. War never spares lives.”
“But not like this!”
“No, no, no, I think you’ve misunderstood. This war’s victory hinges on and the Bei family. Both I and the Bei family specialize in poisons. Our battle isn’t one of martial arts; it’s a competition in poison. I’m inevitably going to poison the other side’s forces, and the Bei family will poison the Three Kingdoms’ troops too.”
“This is a battle unlike any other. How can poisoning people not lead to death?”
“Actually, you should be grateful. This is a contest of poison against poison, sparing soldiers from face-to-face combat. That way, they won’t lose arms or legs. Even if death cos, it won’t be too painful.”
“You’re insane. You’re absolutely, utterly insane.” Qiao Xiaomai stared at him as he grinned, shaking her head while retreating step by step.
She hadn’t realized until now that this war was being fought entirely with poison. Back during their journey, she had been gloomy and hadn’t interacted with Bei Yun, nor had he bothered to initiate conversation. It was only at this mont that she understood the extent of his intentions—they had brought over tens of thousands of people simply for a contest in poison.
If they wanted to compete in poison techniques, they could have easily chosen a remote place to do so. But now this lunatic was dragging tens of thousands of people into the chaos. Terrifying, absolutely terrifying.
The fear in Qiao Xiaomai’s eyes didn’t escape Bei Yun’s notice. He looked at her with so surprise. “You didn’t just et today, nor are you unaware of my true nature. Are you really scared to this extent?”
“I know you’re utterly heartless and devoid of humanity, but I didn’t realize you were mad enough to drag tens of thousands of people into death with you.”
“No, no, no. I won’t die; it’s these tens of thousands who might die.” Bei Yun corrected her.
Qiao Xiaomai listened to his words, and the fear in her eyes deepened. This maniac. She retreated step by step. Even though she was standing under the sunlight, she felt so cold that she wanted to curl up into herself.
How could such a terrifying person exist in this world?
Bei Yun noticed that she was still retreating, and her face showed even more fear. That dull, tasteless feeling surged within him again.
In the past, others would react in terror upon seeing him, and he found it amusing. But now, seeing Qiao Xiaomai similarly overco by fear, with eyes full of terror and rejection, he suddenly felt bored.
