Chapter 1708 - 1707: What is the Little Gift?
Bei Yun’s gift to the Bei family and Tong Sanlang was the white powder scattered on the gold and silver.
Bei Lingsu was wary of Bei Yun. She ordered the soldiers to step back and opened the box herself, but she still fell for the trap. As soon as the box was opened, the white powder scattered over the gold and silver jewelry dissolved into water upon contact with sunlight, and a foul stench filled the air. She immediately stepped back.
"Cover your noses and retreat! Retreat!" she shouted loudly.
As soon as she spoke, the soldiers scrambled to retreat with all their might. However, some were unable to evade in time and inhaled the foul stench. Blood began to flow from their eyes, noses, ears, and mouths, and one by one, they collapsed and died on the spot.
Witnessing this scene, Bei Lingsu’s eyes turned red with rage. She glared toward the opposing side and bellowed, "Bei Yun, get the hell out here!"
The two sides were separated by a large expanse of open ground. Bei Lingsu’s shout, carried by her internal energy, rang out clearly and reached the Camp of the Three Kingdoms. Hearing her furious cry, Bei Yun, who was standing at the entrance of the camp, broke into a smile and responded with internal energy, "Aunt Lingsu, this is just a little gift for you all. Please take good care of it."
"Take care of your grandpa! Get out here!"
"No, no, no, Aunt Lingsu. You and I are family. If you’re cursing my grandpa, you’re also disrespecting your elder," Bei Yun replied with a smirk.
"Also, Aunt Lingsu, instead of yelling at me here, you should focus on finding a way to detoxify. This poison is contagious. If the corpses of those who have died aren’t handled promptly, soon your entire camp will be infected by this virus."
"When that happens, it’ll be a plague. So hurry up and find a way to detoxify, Aunt Lingsu."
