Chapter 1678: Chapter 1677: She Overestimated Herself

“Twice, I’ve had the chance to die, but I survived in the end. And I can remember anything I see, I am unparalleled in medicine and poison, I can create my own martial arts. The heavens won’t let me die, instead they’ve given me so many abilities—the heavens are permitting me to live.”

“Since I’ve been allowed to live, then how I live should be up to me. If I want to experiment on living people, I’ll experiment on living people. If I want to start a war, I’ll start a war. Whatever I’m curious about, I’ll go and do.”

“I didn’t deliberately want to take revenge on anyone. I’m just living according to the desires in my heart.”

“I can neither laugh loudly nor grieve deeply; I can only feel the emotion of pleasure. Whatever brings me joy—then that is what I will do.”

“I’ve been curious about war for a long time. For this battle, I’m looking forward to it.”

“Those three small nations started a war to expand their territories, to seize population and wealth. But I’m not like them—I’m doing it purely for pleasure, to satisfy my curiosity.”

Bei Yun paused here for a moment, letting out a long breath as his gaze unconsciously fixed on the car window opposite him. His expression was cold and resolute. “The heavens didn’t let me die, so they want me to live. Since I’m alive, I’ll live pleasurably.”

“As for death—what does it matter if I sink to the deepest pits of hell after I die? I don’t think about the future; I only focus on the present.”

Qiao Xiaomai: “…”

She opened her mouth, but a thousand words stuck in her chest, unable to force even one out.

Bei… Bei Yun—this beast—his life had been so tragic?

And what he told Bei Lingsu before… he had even hidden the most crucial parts?

Just based on what he described, even imagining it was agonizing. Let alone the fact that he had actually lived through it.

Terrifying…

“Say something.” Bei Yun shifted his stare toward Qiao Xiaomai, his pitch-black eyes carrying a chilling emptiness. “I’ve shared with you the experiences I’ve never told another soul. Are you still going to preach morality to me now?”

Qiao Xiaomai: “…”

She pressed her lips together, instinctively shrinking back into the corner. This version of Bei Yun was utterly frightening.

“I’ve lived to this age; do you think there’s any principle I don’t understand? When I most needed guidance and help, there was no one to save me. Now you come to lecture me? It’s too late—I don’t need it anymore.”

“Don’t try to educate me again. If you haven’t suffered my pains, no one has the right to point fingers at me.”

“I don’t want to hurt you. Don’t push me.”

Qiao Xiaomai: “…”

She tightened the tiger fur blanket around her shoulders and swallowed nervously. “I was merely cursing you earlier—harshly blaming you. I wasn’t trying to lecture.”

“I know that.” Bei Yun suddenly reverted to his smiling demeanor, gazing at Qiao Xiaomai with crescent-shaped eyes. “Which is why I’ve been explaining things to you nicely.”

Qiao Xiaomai: “…”

She couldn’t help but swallow again. The man a moment ago radiated an oppressive, sinister aura as though he had emerged straight from the hellish underworld, leaving her frozen as if she’d plunged into an icy abyss. Yet in the next instant, he was smiling again—creepy, absolutely creepy.

She had clearly overestimated herself. The man sitting in front of her—he was neither human nor beast; he was a vengeful spirit straight from hell. He wasn’t alive to experience the beauty and love of this world; he was alive for vengeance.

And yet the heavens allowed him to live. Moreover, they gifted him such powerful skills. Even if she ambushed him successfully, the odds of her killing him would certainly be less than ten percent.

As an ordinary mortal who didn’t know martial arts, how could she possibly fight against a vengeful ghost?
