Chapter 1683: Chapter 1682: Missed It
The dispute over the water quality lasted for two days. Qiao Xiaomai insisted that the fresh water on the ship was bad, while Bei Yun insisted that Qiao Xiaomai was being lazy and shirking her duties. The two argued for two consecutive days, and finally, Qiao Xiaomai proposed a solution.
She suggested using the Ironball fruit from the Divine Tree Tribe to make Floral Dew.
The Ironball fruit was something she had been curious about for a long time, but since the Divine Tree Tribe was wiped out and Yuchi Country had taken over the Divine Tree Tribe and the Ironball fruit, she had never been able to see the Ironball fruit with her own eyes.
She initially guessed it was a coconut, and after seeing the picture drawn by Ailiusa, she confirmed that the Ironball fruit was indeed a coconut.
Using coconut juice to make Floral Dew, could it really fool Bei Yun…
Bei Yun shook his head after hearing this suggestion, “The water inside the Ironball fruit is not even as sweet as well water.”
“What about the fruit from the largest Ironball tree?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.
The largest Ironball tree was thicker than a dozen others combined, and the fruit it bore was very sweet. In the past, the Divine Tree Tribe used to offer it as a tribute to Yang Wenxiao.
“There are not many of those, and the taste is not as good as your Floral Dew either.”
“Then let’s wait until we reach Longshi Country and check the water quality there. Anyway, the water quality on the ship is indeed poor, and even if you kill me, I’ll still say this.” She thought, just buying time for another day was good enough.
Spiritual Spring water could suppress the poison in Bei Yun’s body, so she should use it less in the future.
“Alright, I believe you for now. I’ll have someone send water from the Capital City to compare. If I discover you’re being lazy, I really will get angry.”
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
This pervert!
“Do as you please, as long as you’re not worried that sending water will expose your whereabouts, then send it as you like.” She was cursing inwardly, but on the surface, she appeared unconcerned.
“There’s no need to worry about that. According to the latest information I received, they’re headed south along the official road, so we won’t run into them at all.” Bei Yun said with a smile, “It seems Tong Sanlang’s martial arts have indeed recovered. You really don’t know how that happened?”
“I don’t know!” Qiao Xiaomai’s reply was firm and assertive. She furrowed her brows in frustration, “Who exactly are you colluding with?!”
“I’ll tell you when we reach Longshi Country.”
“Are you afraid I’ll escape?” Qiao Xiaomai asked coldly.
“Yes.”
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
She glared hatefully at Bei Yun for a few moments, then turned and returned to her little room.
What made her happiest on the ship was having her own small room. Though it was tiny, it at least offered her some privacy, allowing her to avoid being constantly in Bei Yun’s company like a ghost.
Thinking about Tong Sanlang and Bei Lingsu traveling along the official road, she couldn’t help but sigh softly. She feared she truly was going to be taken to Longshi Country by Bei Yun.
What to do…
After staying on the ship for a month, during which everything had been peaceful, Tong Sanlang and Bei Lingsu indeed went to the border between Daqi and Longshi Country. Over here, Bei Yun, standing on the ship, received the news and smiled so broadly that his eyes narrowed into slits.
The ship would follow the coastline, bypassing Daqi and directly reaching Taian Country. Although Longshi Country wasn’t adjacent to the sea, now that Taian Country and Longshi Country had allied, landing in Taian Country would be the same.
He wouldn’t be passing through the border between Daqi and Longshi Country, so Tong Sanlang and Bei Lingsu would miss him completely.
He informed Qiao Xiaomai of this news, and Qiao Xiaomai listened without any internal reaction. She had already accepted the fact that she was going to Longshi Country. A war was about to begin, so instead of coming to rescue her, it would be better for Tong Sanlang and Bei Lingsu to go resist the armies of the Three Kingdoms.
If Tong Sanlang could earn more merits on the battlefield, there might be fewer casualties in the war, accelerating the appearance of the Divine Liquid.
In the worst case, she would just make Floral Dew for Bei Yun. As long as she remained safe, she would wait for Tong Sanlang and Bei Lingsu to crush the armies of the Three Kingdoms and come to rescue her.
