Chapter 766 (2/2)

“I’ve said this before, I won’t kill you! As for you escaping, I have made my preparations. You won’t be able to escape,” she said confidently. She had the perfect plan.

“Hmmph! There’s nowhere I can’t escape from! Where are you bringing me?”

“To the ancient ruins, of course. There are many questions for you to answer in there,” she said.

“I will never help solve your problems, you madwoman. I don’t know if you’ll use my stuff for murder,” he refused.

“If I had a weapon that was powerful enough to scare the world into submission, don’t you think the number of sacrifices would be much smaller?” Zhao Yarou looked at him.

“...”

Ye Lang was silent for a moment. Admittedly, she was right. If one side had the absolute advantage, the other side would not struggle much. They would either surrender immediately or be exterminated in the blink of an eye.

If wars could be settled in a second, then the sufferings experienced by the commoners would be almost zero. The longer war dragged on, the more they suffered.

If they couldn’t prevent a war, shortening it was actually a good thing.

“Close the doors, do not let anyone out, including the ones with my order token!”

When they entered the ancient ruins, Zhao Yarou ordered the entrance guards to seal the place. Other than her, no one was allowed out.

“Zhao Yarou, I shouldn’t have saved you. I should’ve let you drown,” said Ye Lang.

“There’s no use for regret now! You must’ve felt good, did my lips taste sweet?”

“You stunk, it was sticky and absolutely disgusting,” said Ye Lang immediately.

“YOU’RE disgusting!” She glared at him and asked weakly, “Is that true? Or was there something in the water?”

“No, I lied. Your lips didn’t feel like anything,” he shrugged.

“...”

When they entered the ancient ruins, Ye Lang felt the familiar atmosphere of alchemy. He liked this place. He had wanted to stay longer but couldn’t.

If Zhao Yarou put him on house arrest in here, he wouldn’t mind.

Ye Lang knew he wouldn’t be able to escape this time, at least not right now. When he entered, he had seen the place. It was more difficult to escape than the palace.

At the same time, Ye Lang wanted to stay too. Zhao Yarou would be more at peace while he stayed and did his research here, perhaps more quiet.

If Ye Lang escaped now, Zhao Yarou would definitely formulate more plans to catch his loved ones as hostage. With her madness, it would be too difficult to stay on guard all the time.

That was why Ye Lang stayed.

When he entered, he realised that it was quite different from when he was last here. Previously, it was empty but now there were many people inside.
