Chapter 1693: Chapter 1692: I Only Trust You

As for the God Catfish that Duan Tianzhen valued so highly, he really ended up drinking the soup made from its innards, head, and tail.

Bei Yun didn’t think much of it, but for someone like him, an ordinary person, it was indeed a precious thing.

After the meal, Duan Tian went to look for the King of Longshi Country. Bei Yun lifted his foot, intending to return to his courtyard to study herbal medicine, but Qiao Xiaomai stopped him. “Bei Yun, be honest with me. When is the war going to start?”

“Why are you asking about this?” Bei Yun countered without answering.

“Of course I need to ask. If Daqi really goes to war, who’s going to buy my goods?”

“Uh, as long as what you make tastes good, are you worried no one will buy it? When there’s a war, it’s the soldiers on the frontlines, not the wealthy, who are out there fighting.”

“Are you going?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.

“Of course I’m going. I’m someone who’s worth a thousand armies. If I don’t go, with Daqi having Aunt Lingsu and Tong Sanlang, who else could stand against them?”

“Then I’m going too,” Qiao Xiaomai declared immediately.

“You’re a hostage. What would you be doing on the frontlines? Waiting for Aunt Lingsu and Tong Sanlang to come rescue you?”

“No, I’m afraid of the people here, especially that Prince Fengbao. I don’t want to end up dragging him to hell with me.”

Bei Yun: “…”

Qiao Xiaomai was actually afraid of something?

“I’m still a woman, okay?” Deciphering the meaning behind his expression, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Other than my physical strength being a little above average, I don’t have anything special. You’re the only one I know well here. I don’t care; wherever you go, I’m going. If you go to the frontlines, I’m going too.”

Bei Yun: “… That’s not going to work. Going to the frontlines would be like delivering you straight into Daqi’s hands.”

“Then don’t start the war!”

“How else am I supposed to satisfy my curiosity?”

“Let me go home. I’ll ask the Grand Emperor to light some fireworks for you with bombs. How about that?”

“Not interested.” Bei Yun lowered his gaze, a trace of hesitation flickering across his face. After a brief moment, he looked up at Qiao Xiaomai. “For now, Daqi’s army is already gathered at the border of Longshi Country. Aunt Lingsu, Tong Sanlang, and Yang Ye are personally overseeing the campaign.”

“The armies of Longshi Country, Taian Country, and Yuchi Country have also assembled and are currently heading for the frontlines. I’ll be setting off for the frontlines in about five or six days. As for your safety… I’ll prepare some medications for you to take with you for self-defense.”

“Medications? I don’t know any Martial Arts, so what’s the use of medications for me?”

When facing true masters, poison is utterly useless. Just looking at how Tong Sanlang can fight evenly with Bei Yun is proof enough—her reflexes are slow, and any master using light-footed movements could easily eliminate her.

“You’re the only one I feel close to here. I don’t trust or rely on anyone else,” Qiao Xiaomai reiterated firmly.

She was genuinely scared.

Although Bei Yun wasn’t human, compared to the others here, he was at least reliable.

“We’ll see.” Bei Yun pressed his lips together.

Honestly, before he met Bei Lingsu and Qiao Xiaomai, he didn’t trust anyone. He was thoroughly just a beast.

It wasn’t until he encountered Bei Lingsu and Qiao Xiaomai that he realized there truly are people in this world who are kind and good. Despite the countless atrocities he had committed, when he was with these two, he didn’t have to constantly be on guard around them.

It was such a rare and precious situation—for someone like him, a wicked creature beyond redemption, to not need to defend himself constantly or worry about them suddenly turning against him.

This goodness tugged at his heartstrings, almost to the point of softening him.

To be honest, he hesitated. Despite Qiao Xiaomai’s stubbornness, foul temper, and indifferent attitude toward him, she was undoubtedly a kind person. Facing someone like her, his long-suppressed conscience stirred slightly, leaving him with a bit of unease.
