Chapter 1717 - 1716: He Wants to Live Happily and Wholeheartedly
"You’re already planning to let all the soldiers on both sides die. Why would you even worry about what they’ll do to you after they find out you’ve tricked them?"
Qiao Xiaomai found Bei Yun’s logic somewhat laughable. Bei Yun was ready to kill everyone, yet now he seemed concerned about the reactions from the Three Kingdoms.
"Who said I was going to let the soldiers from the Three Kingdoms die?" Bei Yun tilted his head, looking at Qiao Xiaomai quizzically.
"Big brother, you’re planning to unleash the plague. If the soldiers on Daqi’s side catch it, do you really think the soldiers on the Three Kingdoms’ side can escape unscathed? Besides, you just said you have no antidote!"
"The two armies are separated by such a distance. The plague on Daqi’s side won’t spread to the Three Kingdoms’ side."
Qiao Xiaomai squinted at these words, her gaze sweeping over Bei Yun several times. "Do you just not want the antidote?"
Bei Yun nodded honestly. "I do want it, but I also want to see war and explosions. To be honest, if getting the antidote means I’ll have to live the life you described—setting up a stall and making a living—I don’t really want that."
The ordinary life Qiao Xiaomai mentioned did indeed appeal to him, but the thought of returning to that kind of life made resistance rise within him.
He had grown used to living freely and wildly. His personality was untamed, unrestrained. If those words—freedom and living as he pleased—disappeared from his life, then what would be the point of living?
