The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1588 - 1587: Poison Array

Furthermore, Bei Lin cares about him so much that she's willing to sacrifice her own life. Her only request is for Tang Rao to marry her, which doesn't seem too much, does it?"Ke Xin, you don't need to say those things to me. I understand everything you said, but no matter what I've done, the last person I want to hurt is still you."

The more Zhang Kexin showed her generosity towards Bei Lin, the more guilty Bei Lin felt in her heart towards Zhang Kexin. She could offend others, but with this younger sister, she must never create conflict or estrangement.

The thorn in Zhang Kexin's heart softened due to Bei Lin's explanation. She knew that Sister Bei Lin, who always treated her like her own sister, would never be the one to hurt her.

"Don't worry. When I see Tang Rao tomorrow, I'll just tell him that everything said today was a joke and should not be taken seriously."

Just as Bei Lin started to speak, Zhang Kexin immediately stood up and joined forces with her: "My family's Sister Bei Lin has finally taken a liking to a man and even has the idea of marrying him. I'm not even happy enough for that. Since both parties have no objections, I wholeheartedly support you being with Brother Tang Rao, which would also fulfill Ke Xin's wish."

That night, Bei Lin held Zhang Kexin's hand. Both of them had things on their minds, chatting intermittently until dawn, only catching a short nap.

As soon as the agreed time with Tang Rao arrived, Bei Lin was dressed and ready outside the laboratory.

After soaking for 24 hours, Tang Rao's skin seemed to have a tinge of red, but he did not mind it.

"Tang Rao, are you ready?"

"Ready, come in."

Tang Rao tied the last string of his shirt, then opened the door, allowing a sliver of light to enter the room.

Accompanying Bei Lin were Zhang Kexin, the Beiyuan father and son, Wu Suowei, and Wang Han.

As for those little soldiers, their names were not even worth mentioning.

"Lin Lin, didn't you say the day before yesterday that the situation was tricky and it was uncertain whether it would work out? How did you come up with a solution today? Your father tells you, you can do anything, but don't play with your own life, remember that?"

Beiyuan instructed Bei Lin earnestly.

Bei Lin knew that the person who understood her most in this world was still her father.

What she was about to do was known only by her, Tang Rao, and Zhang Kexin. Since both Zhang Kexin and Tang Rao would never betray Bei Lin, for Beiyuan to guess that Bei Lin planned to harm herself to save Tang Rao, proved that this blood relationship was indeed remarkable.

"Dad, what are you talking about? Don't you know your daughter's methods yet? I just suddenly found a way to save Tang Rao's life. Haven't you always taught my brother and me that saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-tiered pagoda? I'm just following your words. Yet, you still object, making me afraid to heed your advice from now on."

Spit, spit, spit.

Beiyuan never said that Bei Lin shouldn't listen to him. It's just that when a daughter grows up, she becomes rebellious, and one should give her time to turn around, right?

"Lin Lin, as long as you're well, your old man can rest assured. Go on then, Tang Rao needs you. Dad hopes you and Tang Rao can come out safe and sound together."

He actually wanted to say, if possible, could he also enter the laboratory and watch how Bei Lin performs the detoxification? But seeing Bei Lin's distant look, the words he kept in his heart were sensibly swallowed down.

Wu Suowei's words were right, perhaps this is the so-called "daughters are hard to keep when grown." No matter how much effort you put into raising them, they ultimately become daughters-in-law to someone else. Which daughter would think of walking alongside her old father for a lifetime?

Tang Rao nodded to the seniors outside, but as per Bei Lin's request, he never stepped foot out of the lab.

When Bei Lin entered, the lab door quickly closed behind her again.

"This girl Lin Lin, sometimes I as a father don't even know what to say. I just hope she doesn't do anything foolish, or her mother would never let me off."

Wu Suowei gave Beiyuan a sidelong glance.

He thought that Beiyuan's concern for Bei Lin was quite pathological. It turns out he wasn't just worried about his daughter's safety but also about his wife's fury.

Upon discovering that the Northern Island Master, Beiyuan's hall, was actually a man under his wife's thumb, Wu Suowei secretly rejoiced. It seems following the Heavenly Destiny by truly matching Bei Lin with Tang Rao would mean Beiyuan would have to step back, and the person negotiating changes from Beiyuan to Beiyuan's wife.

"Old Bei, you should trust your daughter. She never fights a battle without preparation. Since she's already inside, let's find something else to do instead of constantly worrying about what's happening inside, don't you think?"

Wu Suowei had full confidence in Tang Rao. A chosen successor, if he could be taken down by even one Poisonous Insect, he wouldn't deserve the position. Having almost endured eighty-one tribulations, he hasn't felt that any were truly dead-ends since there's always been a solution.

Tang Rao swore, among those he's met, he's encountered only one with a good mindset, even he once thought he'd die facing the poisonous insects.

In Northern Island, only Bei Lin can detoxify the poison, and if Bei Lin fails, he would set the plan to find trouble on the East Island into motion.

Behind Tang Rao's back, Bei Lin placed many small bottles and jars on the table. Upon closer inspection, weren't those well the little insects Tang Rao had been curious about?

The little insects were extremely alert. As long as Bei Lin was manipulating them, they obediently stayed where Bei Lin directed. But if any unfamiliar breath approached, they'd instantly transform as if ready to enter a battle mode at any moment.

"I need some time to set up the array. If you're bored, you can soak in the pool again. These little poisonous insects will sense your aura and become agitated."

Just while setting up the array, sweat was already beginning to bead on Bei Lin's forehead.

"These little things are really sensitive. I just wanted a closer look."

Tang Rao was genuinely curious. It wasn't like he didn't know how to communicate with a Divine Beast, but these weren't Divine Beasts. They were small insects that could understand nothing Bei Lin was manipulating. Each has lethal poison, and careless handling could lead to disaster. If any of the insects bit Bei Lin, likely she wouldn't even have time to detoxify before she'd die.

However, his worries seemed excessive. Watching Bei Lin set up the array from afar and seeing the little insects in her hands as obedient as if they were lifeless, he relaxed and slid back into the pool, submerging himself fully in the red liquid.

Who knows how long it had passed until Bei Lin exclaimed 'It's done', waking Tang Rao from his slumber.
