Chapter 420: Haggle

"So the three years that you were asleep… you went back? But this time, you woke up in a different body?" Shen Qui asked. It was already six in the evening, and they have been talking since Lyca woke up.

"Yes, I woke up in a Princess Ye Bai's body."

"Isn't that— "

"Yes! My grandmother." Lyca nodded. "She had white hair too, and guess what? She looked like me. She looked like Lyca."

"And you didn't kill him?"

"No." Lyca shook her head.

"Why?"

"Because… If he didn't kill me, then… I wouldn't have met you." Lyca's answer surprised her. Her lips thinned. "And having him live a miserable life with his enemies gone… should be enough."

"It's not making any sense." Shen Qui said. He handed Lyca another pastry. "You were gone for three years… but you said you were only there for a few days?"

She nodded.

"Then… you still met him while you were there?"

"Yes."
