Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm
Chapter 1699 - 1698: Willing to Give Up the Whole World for HerChapter 1699: Chapter 1698: Willing to Give Up the Whole World for Her
As soon as Bei Yun spoke, Tong Sanlang and Bei Lingsu said nothing, but Qiao Xiaomai hesitated a little.
It makes sense, it really makes a lot of sense.
The power of the Divine Crossbow is no joke. On that day, the Divine Crossbow Team ambushed and wiped out seven or eight hundred elite members of the Tianlong Gang. Although Tong Sanlang and Bei Lingsu’s lightness skills are exceedingly high, they are but human. No matter how skilled their movements are, they are not immune to mortal flesh. If they can dodge the rain of arrows themselves, what about bringing her along as a burden?
It wouldn’t matter if she got hurt, but under no circumstances could Tong Sanlang afford to be injured. With the conflict between the armies now raging, he absolutely cannot be wounded.
Besides, arrows do not choose their targets—what if they strike a vital spot?
Without the Divine Crossbow, it would be certain death.
None of the three of them—her, Tong Sanlang, and Bei Lingsu—can afford any harm. Not a single one.
Pressing her lips together, she spoke up, “Sanlang, Lingsu, you both should leave. I’ll stay behind.”
As soon as those words came out, Tong Sanlang immediately tightened his embrace around her, “If we leave, we leave together. If we stay, we stay together.”
Bei Lingsu, worried, asked as well, “Did this beast drug you with some hallucinogen?”
“No, I’m perfectly fine. He hasn’t really troubled me during this journey. At most, he threatened me verbally, but that’s nothing serious. In fact, I’ve been returning to my old trade, managing some business along the way, and made enough profit to fill several dozen carts with silver.”
“Besides, Bei Yun promised to take me to the frontlines tomorrow. You can figure out a way to rescue me then. Tonight, I’m not leaving.”
Truth be told, she was happy—extremely happy.
Even if Tong Sanlang hadn’t come, she had already consoled herself by working tirelessly, lowering her stance to its lowest possible point. But now that Tong Sanlang was here, she felt fulfilled. Truly fulfilled.
After she was captured, he traveled countless miles, defying danger, just to rescue her.
She no longer needed to compete against the Zhang Family or fight to assert precedence. The mere fact that Tong Sanlang came was enough to satisfy her.
Her current situation posed no immediate threat to her life, and she could still earn money. There was truly no need to risk the rain of arrows alongside Tong Sanlang and Bei Lingsu.
“Indeed, I haven’t mistreated Miss Qiao along the way. Furthermore, after arriving at the Duan Family territory, she expressed her desire to start doing business, so I immediately had the Duan family head inform the nobility in Feng City. The silver she has made here isn’t any less than what she earned in the Capital City. Her personal safety is secure; there’s truly no need to insist on taking her away.”
Bei Yun chimed in, his tone sincere.
He genuinely did not wish to clash with Bei Lingsu.
“You shut your filthy mouth!” Bei Lingsu cursed him, then immediately turned to Qiao Xiaomai, urgently saying, “Since I woke up, I’ve been chasing after you alongside Young Master Tong. We’ve broken through countless toxic traps along the way, and it’s been a struggle just to get here. Young Master Tong has been driven crazy by how much he misses you. Now that we’ve seen you, you’re telling us you’re not leaving?”
“You’ve both worked so hard, truly, especially you, Lingsu. This journey must have taken so much out of you. But I’m fine now, really—it’s not worth the risk for me to leave. You and Sanlang are key commanders of Daqi. With that beast Bei Yun around, neither of you can afford to be hurt or killed. If either of you falls, then Bei Yun will have free rein.”
“Let him have free rein if he wants—I only care about you.” Tong Sanlang’s strong arms held her tightly enough to nearly squeeze the air out of her lungs. “Xiaomai, I only care about you. I can forsake Daqi and all its people—I want to be with you.”
The past two months had driven him close to madness, truly to madness. For the past year and a half, he had been consumed with regret and plagued by fears of losing Qiao Xiaomai. Bei Yun turned those fears into reality.
When he realized he couldn’t see her even though he desperately wanted to, only then did he grasp the depth of his love for her.
For her, he could forsake the entire world.
