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

Chapter 1714: Chapter 1713: I Met You Too Late

“Good deeds will be rewarded, I’m not lying to you, this is true.”

After Qiao Xiaomai said this, Bei Yun fell silent. His gaze turned vacant, staring aimlessly at a corner of the bedding.

Qiao Xiaomai looked at him but said nothing, and the tent fell into silence.

This silence lasted for a quarter of an hour, and only then did Bei Yun’s vacant gaze shift back to Qiao Xiaomai.

“What you mean by saying this is that if I release you now, then when Madam Gu appears, you’ll be able to ask her for a drop of Divine Liquid?”

“With the sins you’ve committed, I cannot promise that. Besides, Divine Liquid does not appear so easily. Madam Gu just gave Tong Sanlang a drop, and she certainly won’t have a second drop now.”

“Then tell me, what exactly did you add when you made the Floral Dew? I watched the entire process and didn’t see you adding anything special,” Bei Yun said again.

“That’s impossible. It’s the foundation of my livelihood, and I won’t tell anyone,” Qiao Xiaomai shook her head, refusing. “The matter of the Divine Liquid is the highest secret in Daqi. If I tell you now, I’d already be violating the ’Daqi Law.’ If the Grand Emperor finds out, he definitely won’t spare me.”

“Are you still afraid of that old man? He’s the one begging Madam Gu, isn’t he?” Suspicion crept onto Bei Yun’s face. “Are you sure the things you just said aren’t made up to deceive me?”

Qiao Xiaomai rolled her eyes at that. “Did I leave any contradictions in what I just said?”

“If there are no contradictions, then it means it’s true. And indeed, it is true. This really happened.”

Bei Yun said nothing. He stared at Qiao Xiaomai, his gaze filled with probing intent, scrutinizing her from head to toe over and over again, as if he wanted to use his eyes to see straight into her heart, to discern whether her words were truth or lies.

Qiao Xiaomai remained composed, letting him scrutinize her.

What she said earlier was far too tempting—being able to completely resolve this strange poison. For Bei Yun, it was nothing short of heavenly music.

Although Bei Yun had found herbal medicine capable of temporarily suppressing the poison in his body, this herbal remedy could not completely neutralize the poison. He had to take it at regular intervals, and he couldn’t let anyone know what medicine he was consuming, lest someone exploit the drug to attack him.

Before heading to the Capital City, he had actually prepared a year’s supply of herbal medicine. But unexpectedly, the Floral Dew made by Qiao Xiaomai could suppress the poison inside him, rendering the herbal medicine he had prepared useless.

Qiao Xiaomai’s words were probably true. What she just said held no logical inconsistencies. Every sentence perfectly resolved his doubts and matched the puzzles he couldn’t unravel despite endless reflection.

Actually, even without addressing other matters and considering only the Floral Dew, he had already believed most of it. Divine Liquid might be too distant, but the Floral Dew was something he had truly consumed for a year. He had to admit the miraculous effects of Floral Dew.

Admitting the efficacy of Floral Dew meant admitting the truth of Qiao Xiaomai’s words.

The world truly held divine beings.

This time and space truly had a cosmic order maintaining balance.

Good deeds truly would be rewarded.

But this realization came far too late for him. He had committed too many evils, taken too many lives. Even if Madam Gu did appear, the first thing she would do would be to strike him dead with a single blow, not bestow him Divine Liquid.

A self-mocking expression appeared on Bei Yun’s face. “Qiao Xiaomai, I met you too late. Why couldn’t I have met you in the year my parents both passed away?”
