Chapter 286: You Will Never Become Me

Editor: Millman97

She didn鈥檛 expect things to go sour so soon, not giving her any time to mentally prepare herself.

She wasn鈥檛 even given the chance to enjoy a few stolen days of happiness...

Then again, maybe this wasn鈥檛 too bad, at least she wouldn鈥檛 have to live in constant fear of being found out anymore.

Xia Meng calmed down quickly, took a look at the both of them and decided not to speak a word.

Xinghe鈥檚 incisive gaze scanned Xia Meng and her lips eventually parted to say, "Aren鈥檛 you going to explain yourself? Why did we exchange bodies?"

"I have no idea what you鈥檙e talking about..."

To deny was Xia Meng鈥檚 go-to response.

Xinghe smirked. "You鈥檙e still playing dumb at a time like this? Come clean or I鈥檓 going to kill you!"

Xia Meng was shocked. Kill me?

Xinghe took a powerful step forward and her eyes were burning with revenge. "I don鈥檛 mind abandoning my old body, after all it is only a shell, I can live on in this body of yours just fine. But I will make sure you鈥檒l forever be asleep, never to wake up!"

"There are indeed many ways to achieve that," Mubai added coldly.

Xia Meng didn鈥檛 expect them to be so cruel... But she was the one in the wrong.

They could shut down her consciousness, and she knew, with their talents and resources, eventually they would find a way to switch the bodies back. By then, perhaps her consciousness would have been swallowed by darkness.

To be fair, Xia Meng didn鈥檛 intend to make things difficult for them. She was so browbeaten by Ye Shen鈥檚 tyranny that denial was her first response.

She actually felt relieved because it was no longer necessary for her to conceal the truth.

"How did the two of you discover the truth so fast?" She asked as she stared at Xinghe, "I thought some time would have to pass before someone would believe something as preposterous as this."

In the end, the whole charade was up in just one night.

This event that bordered on sci-fi was not only readily accepted by Xinghe but also by Mubai as well. This shocked Xia Meng the most.

Xinghe answered coldly, "Your biggest give-away is you鈥檒l never be me."

Xia Meng was bewildered. "I don鈥檛 understand, I haven鈥檛 even done anything yet..."

"That鈥檚 the point, I wouldn鈥檛 have done nothing and allowed myself to be locked up in this room like a prisoner," Xinghe answered slowly. Her eyes were shining with confidence. Her indomitable spirit lit up Xia Meng鈥檚 common-looking face.

Xia Meng stared at her as if hypnotized, she hadn鈥檛 seen herself so... beautiful before.

However, she understood it was not because her original face had changed but, as they say, confidence truly is beauty.

In her old life, whenever she looked at herself in the mirror, she would see an ugly, tortured woman.

After her body was crippled, she hated the sight of herself even more.

She hated every inch of her body, and her greatest wish was to swap bodies with a more powerful, stronger woman.

But now, she realized her old self wasn鈥檛 really as awful as she鈥檇 thought...

From the moment Xinghe walked in, she realized even with a limping gait, she carried herself with grace and confidence, unlike her old self which crawled around the house in embarrassment. People looked down on her and she internalized it, which was why she preferred the wheelchair.

She didn鈥檛 see any redeeming qualities in her old body, but now, she couldn鈥檛 help but realize it could be quite beautiful...

A change of mind could cause such a drastic change in appearance? Even Xia Meng herself was impressed by the newfound beauty of her old self.

But if that was the case, perhaps she shouldn鈥檛 have committed suicide...magic
