Chapter 1735: Chapter 1734: He Still Has Humanity
A palm-sized fragment shot straight into Bei Yun’s body.
The shell of this enormous insect was so hard that even bullets needed three shots to shatter it. Its toughness was unimaginable. The sharp edge of the fragment tore through Bei Yun’s clothes, which were woven with special grass designed to resist poison and provide some defensive capability.
But before the insect’s rigid shell, the fabric only managed a brief resistance before being sliced apart.
The pointed shard pierced into Bei Yun’s body.
In an instant, excruciating pain radiated from the wound throughout his body, accompanied by venom that caused his face to pale immediately and then turn an alarming shade of bluish-black.
“Bei Yun!” Seeing this, Tong Sanlang’s heart trembled as he rushed to Bei Yun’s side in an instant. He quickly sealed the acupoints on Bei Yun’s body with his fastest technique, attempting to halt the flow of Poisoned Blood.
Bei Lingsu reacted no slower. Seeing Tong Sanlang sealing Bei Yun’s acupoints, she hastily pulled out a small bottle from her chest, emptied its contents of milky-white pills, and grabbed Bei Yun’s jaw, shoving all the pills into his mouth.
The pills melted upon entering and flowed swiftly down his throat through his bloodstream, like a surge of warm current battling fiercely against the Poisoned Blood within.
Bei Yun’s face stopped darkening at bluish-black and did not progress to purplish-black. Miraculously, he still had faint breaths.
And he could still muster a smile.
“Knowing poisons and poison techniques does have its benefits. I lasted longer than Qingye.”
Qingye had died almost instantly, you know. It took just one sneak attack from that massive insect to kill him in a heartbeat.
Bei Yun thought he was truly impressive!
See, poison techniques actually bought him a little time!
Bei Lingsu couldn’t believe that even in a moment like this, he still had the mind to dwell on such things. Her nose tingled, and tears instantly blurred her vision. The drops cascaded like a broken string of pearls. “Shut up!”
As she spoke, she dug out numerous medicine pouches and bottles from her person. She opened some of them and worked desperately to pour their contents into Bei Yun’s mouth.
Bei Yun swallowed with difficulty, his face still holding onto that strained smile. “Aunt Lingsu, Aunt Lingsu… Let me tell you the reason I can suppress the poison in my body, the reason I can keep my youthful appearance is because…”
“Shut up! I don’t want to hear! I don’t want to listen, not one bit!” Bei Lingsu shouted as she tearfully interrupted him, rubbing her eyes furiously. She had no interest in his so-called medical breakthrough now. She just wanted to save him.
She didn’t want him to die. Not even the slightest bit. Never for a moment had she thought about letting him die!
Seeing Bei Lingsu break into uncontrollable sobs, Bei Yun finally stopped smiling.
How wonderful. How truly wonderful.
At the moment of his death, there was someone who cried for him like this. For someone as monstrous as him to be treated this way—it wasn’t a waste, not at all.
He had imagined his death countless times, but “dying to save someone” had never been part of the picture. What a joke! He had always killed as he pleased, dying to save someone? Unthinkable.
But reality proved differently—this was precisely what he did.
When he saw the remains of the massive insect explode, his first thought wasn’t to flee but to rush forward and shield Bei Lingsu from the fragments.
That was his only reaction at the time.
For once, his mind produced such a noble thought. It was enough to make him cry; even he was moved to tears by himself.
Maybe, deep down, he still had a shred of humanity.
“Worth it… Aunt Lingsu, to die like this… It wasn’t a wasted life…”
