Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1716: Chapter 1715: Some Loosening

Qiao Xiaomai looked at Bei Yun, with a “what kind of fantasy are you having” expression. Bei Yun had killed so many people; even if he survived, he could no longer live comfortably. His remaining days must be spent doing good for others.

After quite a while, Bei Yun finally spoke, a hint of self-mockery appearing on his face. “If that’s the case, what’s the point of me living?”

“It’s precisely because I don’t want to go back to the Sea Island with the Bei family that I caught you and escaped. If I had wanted to live that kind of cage-like life, why would I cause such a huge stir?”

“I survived against all odds. From the day I found a Herbal Medicine capable of suppressing the strange poison in my body, I had already decided: since I’m alive, I’ll live boldly, without restraint.”

“The kind of life you’re talking about—I don’t want it.”

“I’d rather die freely than live repressed and stifled.”

Qiao Xiaomai: “…”

She pressed her lips together. Bei Yun’s words had some merit, but living in this world always comes with restrictions. How can anyone truly do whatever they want?

Even Yang Wenxiao, as the Supreme Emperor of Daqi, couldn’t do whatever he pleased. He endured the Aristocratic Families for decades and still couldn’t truly deal with them.

Absolute freedom doesn’t exist in this world. To gain something, you must relinquish something.

“But you can live like a normal person, laughing heartily when you want to laugh, crying freely when you want to cry,” Qiao Xiaomai said.

“You were born carrying this strange poison, but now you have the chance to rid yourself of it completely. From now on, you can live as a normal person. You don’t have to always maintain a smile; you can laugh loudly, cry loudly, your emotions can rise and fall as they wish.”

“Don’t you want to experience that feeling?”

Qiao Xiaomai’s words made Bei Yun’s face shift slightly.

The scenario she described was deeply tempting to Bei Yun.

Indeed, ever since the day he was born, Bei Yun had been forced to suppress his emotions. Now, he had the chance to stop repressing them.

His twisted personality was, to a certain extent, caused by this constant repression—unable to laugh heartily, unable to cry freely, always having to maintain a faint sense of joy. The happiness and pain within him could only be released through other channels.

He had endured for forty years, and now he finally had the chance to break free from that repression. It was irresistibly alluring.

Bei Yun remained silent for quite some time, carefully pondering Qiao Xiaomai’s words.

Qiao Xiaomai didn’t speak either, waiting for his answer.

Bei Yun stayed silent for a full thirty minutes before finally lifting his eyelids to look at Qiao Xiaomai. “What you said—it’s too late.”

“It’s not too late. If you’re willing to change, there’s still time,” she countered.

Bei Yun shook his head lightly. “I added Soul Chasing Root to the small gift I sent Aunt Lingsu.”

Soul Chasing Root?

Qiao Xiaomai furrowed her brow. “And then?”

“Then the Soul Chasing Root will cling to the gold and silver, embedding itself in the corpses of the soldiers. All of these corpses and valuables must be burned entirely; otherwise, the poison will have the chance to spread.”

“I don’t have the antidote. Whether Aunt Lingsu can resolve this—it’s up to her.”

Qiao Xiaomai: “…Then why are you still standing here? Go tell her to burn all those things!”

“But the leaders of the Three Kingdoms are here. If I suddenly change my mind, what will happen to them?” Bei Yun said again.

“Aren’t you unafraid of them?”

“I’m not afraid of them, but after spending so much time with them, their armies are also here. Wouldn’t I be playing them for fools then?”
