Chapter 642: Chapter 227: Ye Qichi Lays His Cards on the Table (Three Updates)

Let’s just talk then.

Ye Qichi also felt that she could have a chat with Bai Mowan.

Bai Mowan harbored deep animosity towards her.

But she also felt that whatever she might say, Bai Mowan might not necessarily believe her.

So whether talking would actually be effective was uncertain.

In the end, she just let nature take its course.

The two of them walked to the side.

Xie Ruotong waited for them in the distance.

Bai Mowan asked bluntly, "Ye Qichi, you’ve also been reborn, haven’t you?"

So.

She planned to confront her outright.

It was no wonder Bai Mowan was suspicious of her.

Her changes were even greater than Bai Mowan’s own.

It was impossible for Bai Mowan to believe she was just an ordinary person.

"No," Ye Qichi replied.

"Ye Qichi, you really are hypocritical," Bai Mowan said sarcastically.

She scoffed at Ye Qichi’s denial.

As expected, Ye Qichi wasn’t such a good person after all.

She didn’t need to feel any guilt towards Ye Qichi.

"To be precise, I am not Ye Qichi," Ye Qichi stated outright.

Feeling that since Bai Mowan really wanted to clear things up.

She would clear them up.

Bai Mowan was clearly surprised by Ye Qichi’s words.

What does she mean by not being Ye Qichi?!

"Let me put it this way, my body belongs to Ye Qichi, but my soul is not Ye Qichi’s."

"Then who are you?" Bai Mowan asked, somewhat agitated.

"Even if I told you, you wouldn’t recognize me; I’m not from this world," Ye Qichi confessed.

"Ye Qichi, I’m trying to have a serious conversation with you," Bai Mowan emphasized, word by word.

It was clear that she felt Ye Qichi was brushing her off, deceiving her.

"Look, do you think I resemble the original Ye Qichi at all? Aside from the physical appearance," Ye Qichi asked.

Bai Mowan was at a loss for words.

Indeed.

Apart from physical appearance, the Ye Qichi of the past and the current Ye Qichi were entirely different people.

If it were a rebirth, such a big change would not be possible.

Even with more experience, one couldn’t just suddenly become someone else.

Therefore.

"So, I’m really not Ye Qichi," she clarified.

"Then you..."

"I’m naturally different from you. You’ve been reborn, while my soul transmigrated into Ye Qichi’s body. There’s no need for you to keep probing about who I really am. After all, you wouldn’t recognize the name, and you couldn’t possibly understand things from another world," Ye Qichi said calmly.

Bai Mowan just kept sizing her up.

"I don’t know why my soul transmigrated into Ye Qichi’s body, it might just be an accident like your rebirth." Of course, Bai Mowan’s rebirth was the author’s design, but the fact that she ended up in a book was truly beyond scientific explanation.

"Do you want to go back?" Bai Mowan asked, forcing herself to believe Ye Qichi’s words.

Without believing, there was no way to explain Ye Qichi’s sudden change, such a vast transformation.

"I want to go back, but I probably can’t," Ye Qichi murmured.

She was already dead in the apocalypse.

Maybe she had turned into a zombie, or maybe, she was cremated.

She had never thought about returning.

Since she was still alive, she thought she might as well respect life and continue living.

To live in the way she liked the most.

Bai Mowan’s face noticeably turned uglier on hearing that Ye Qichi didn’t plan to leave.

Ye Qichi caught Bai Mowan’s thoughts at a glance, "Don’t worry, I don’t like Xiao Jinxing."

Bai Mowan’s expression shifted slightly.

Upon hearing Ye Qichi say these words, her heart still couldn’t help but tremble.

"I really don’t," Ye Qichi stated forthrightly, "Xiao Jinxing is very handsome, but his personality is terrible. Plus, I’ve seen someone even more handsome than him."

In her eyes.

Fu Xingyi is the most handsome.

Even if the features are the same, he’s still more handsome.

"I really don’t have any good feelings for him."

"Then why do you follow him?"

"You know, the emperor issued an irreversible decree, we can’t get divorced." Ye Qichi was also helpless. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"What about before?" Bai Mowan, who was originally intelligent, asked a pointed question.

"Although I am not Ye Qichi, since I’m using her body, I have to fulfill the obligations of this body. If I just leave, the Ye Family’s end would not be good. You should know very well, being reborn, what the Ye Family’s ultimate fate is." Ye Qichi stated clearly.

Of course, Bai Mowan knew.

In the previous life, the Ye Family was likewise beheaded and displayed by Xiao Jinsen!

"So I made a deal with Xiao Jinxing—I help him seize the throne of Daxuan, and he protects the Ye Family completely," said Ye Qichi.

"You mean, your relationship with Prince Chen is just a transaction."

"Anyway, I am. As for whether he will go back on his word..."

"Brother Chen always keeps his promises," Bai Mowan defended Xiao Jinxing fiercely.

"I think so too," Ye Qichi nodded.

"Do you really have no feelings for Brother Chen?" Bai Mowan still didn’t believe it.

"None." Ye Qichi’s answer was firm.

Bai Mowan scrutinized her.

"If I had feelings, would I need to confess so much to you? Wouldn’t I just secretly kill you?" Ye Qichi joked with a smile.

Bai Mowan bit her lip.

It seemed she was persuaded by Ye Qichi.

"Don’t worry, you and Xiao Jinxing will be together in the future," Ye Qichi said, "but don’t be anxious, wait until the world is at peace, your Brother Chen will naturally give you a grand wedding and marry you."

Bai Mowan’s face blushed slightly.

She had also fantasized about that day.

But...

She stared intently at Ye Qichi.

Could it be that this woman was deliberately deceiving her.

So as to let her guard down?!

Ye Qichi was also aware that Bai Mowan would not trust her completely.

But she had said so much that whether Bai Mowan believed her or not, there was nothing more she could do.

"I’m going to leave now, it’s time for dinner, I’m hungry." Ye Qichi smiled amiably.

Although Bai Mowan really didn’t treat her well.

But Ye Qichi didn’t really bear any significant malice towards Bai Mowan.

After all, being the female protagonist, she does have some halo effect.

Besides, for her own sake, she was just following the plotline.

Once the plotline is over, she can also retire successfully.

But who knew that so many unforeseen events would happen later.

Of course, that’s all in the future.

The Ye Qichi right now is completely calm.

She walked over to Xie Ruotong and left together.

"What did you say to Bai Mowan?" Xie Ruotong was somewhat surprised, "Just now she seemed almost eager to kill you, but now it seems like she has no anger left."

Ye Qichi just smiled, "Guess."

"I guess you said, you won’t fight with her for Prince Chen."

"Something like that."

"You and Prince Chen..."

"Really, don’t overthink it," Ye Qichi cut off Xie Ruotong’s words.

"But I think Prince Chen treats you quite well."

"Ha, you didn’t see when he wanted to kill me."

"At least he hasn’t thought about killing you now," Xie Ruotong said with certainty.

"That doesn’t mean he won’t think about it in the future."

"During those days of your confinement, I saw Prince Chen wandering outside your tent several times," Xie Ruotong said.

She didn’t want to mention it at first.

She also was angry with the Prince for confining the Princess and even depriving the food-loving Princess, so she didn’t want to let the Princess be moved.

But now seeing the Princess caring so little for the Prince.

She actually wanted to say a few good words for the Prince.
