Chapter 766 (1/2)

“No way! I think you should just lock me up somewhere, I definitely don’t want to be with you,” said Ye Lang.

“It’s not safe locking you up anywhere, keeping you close to me is the best.” Zhao Yarou shook her head. If Ye Lang wanted to, there were not many places in this world that could hold him.

“If you keep me with you, aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you and escape?” asked Ye Lang.

“You can try!” Zhao Yarou glared at him.

“Scrap that, you’re too unpredictable,” said Ye Lang.

“Hey! YOU’RE unpredictable!” roared Zhao Yarou. She seemed to recall an incident about something Ye Lang said.

“What? That was a compliment!” said Ye Lang.

“I don’t need your compliments! Also, if you promise me honestly that you will not leave Soaring Sky nor will you leave my side, I’ll grant you freedom to go wherever,” said Zhao Yarou.

“Why don’t you just kill me? Isn’t that more efficient?” Ye Lang wondered why she didn’t just kill him. She could definitely do it.

Why go through all the trouble? Why grant him freedom?

“If I kill you, who will be there to watch when I conquer the world? Ye Lang, everything I do is for you to watch,” whined Zhao Yarou resentfully.

“What are you talking about?” Ye Lang was confused.

“Whatever! Forget about it if you don’t understand. Wait till I conquer the world, then you will.” Zhao Yarou smiled, not wanting to dwell on the topic.

“Are you really going to invade the entire mainland?” Ye Lang asked, confused. The price of becoming empress of the mainland was just too huge, no sane person would do it.

Soaring Sky Empire already spanned a huge area. She should learn to be content with what she had instead of paying such a huge price. How many people would die from war? And most of these deaths would come from Soaring Sky.

“Yes! I want to unite the world and become the one and only empress,” said Zhao Yarou.

“You absolute madwoman! Do you know how many people will die, how many families will be broken, how many people will lose their homes if you do this?” said Ye Lang. He did not want to see any wars. If wars did not cost so much blood, he wouldn’t care but this was not the case.

“One general’s task results in ten thousand skeletons. This was what you taught me. You said sacrifice cannot be avoided in the pursuit of a goal,” said Zhao Yarou.

“I taught you that? When?” asked Ye Lang. He couldn’t recall any time he had taught her this, though it sounded like him.

“You take your time to figure it out!” said Zhao Yarou.

“If you’re doing this, I will definitely stop you,” said Ye Lang.

“I know! That’s why I made you come here,” she said with a grin.

“Do you really think you can keep me in here?” Ye Lang furrowed his brows.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll escape? You should just be efficient and kill me,” said Ye Lang directly. At this point, he did not consider that if she really killed him, he would never see this world nor his loved ones ever again.
