When Shangguan Qi suddenly looked up and met Mo Shisheng's gaze, her heart tightened slightly. But when she thought that Mo Shisheng had lost her memory of that night, Shangguan Qi felt a surge of emotion.
"Yan'er, your memory is probably confused because the pills they gave you are incompatible." Shangguan Qi lied with a straight face, yet he was extremely serious about it.
If Mo Shisheng still had the same mindset as Shangguan Yan, she would probably believe it again. She nodded with a slight smile, "Yes, as you know, you are the only person I can be close to in this Shangguan mansion."
What do you call Mo Shisheng now? To describe it with a line from a song lyric, it would be: "I'm doing my best to act in your place!"
Shangguan Qi had previously used Shangguan Yan's hatred for Shangguan Leiting to win her over. In the end, he became exceptionally close to Shangguan Yan and always put her first. That's why Shangguan Yan was willing to risk her own life to save him.
Shangguan Qi slowly withdrew her hand, her gaze falling on Mo Shisheng as she scrutinized him closely. For some reason, she felt that this good-for-nothing seemed to have changed in some way, even though he was clearly still the same person; it was as if his soul had been replaced.
Mo Shisheng naturally noticed that Shangguan Qi's gaze was on her, and she also knew everything about what Shangguan Qi was thinking at that moment. This was a benefit brought to her by her own special ability.
"Cousin, if you change and become different from before, is there a way to switch souls?" Mo Shisheng narrowed her peach blossom eyes slightly. "I always feel that if you ever treat me badly, it must be because your soul has been switched."
Her soft words stirred up a huge storm in Shangguan Qi's heart, yet Shangguan Qi had to appear exceptionally calm.
"How could that be!" Shangguan Qi slowly stood up, thinking it was just a coincidence. Otherwise, how could this good-for-nothing know what he was thinking?
Shangguan Qi felt a tightness in her chest when she looked at Mo Shisheng's ambiguous smile. Realizing her reaction was a bit too strong, she took a few steps and looked up at the corpse still lying on the ground. She frowned slightly, "Yan'er, how did this man end up dead in your room?"
"I killed him."
Mo Shisheng said calmly, "He tried to attack me as soon as I entered the room, so I killed him on the spot."
"..."
A hint of disdain flashed in Shangguan Qi's eyes. With Mo Shisheng's current Qi Refining Stage 2 level, there was no way she could have killed this man. But Mo Shisheng's tone didn't sound like she was lying, and the man was indeed dead. Where had things gone wrong?
"Cousin, I'm sleepy. Why don't you go back first?" Mo Shisheng felt that she had done her part and made Shangguan Qi believe that she didn't remember what she had done to her before, so she should get some rest.
"..."
Shangguan Qi slowly turned around and looked at Mo Shisheng, who was gently rubbing her temples with one hand. Her tone was somewhat unwilling. "Then Yan'er, you should rest first. I'll find a way to get rid of the scabs on your face."
"Okay, thank you very much."
Mo Shisheng replied indifferently, seemingly exhausted, and didn't even spare Shangguan Qi a glance.
Seeing Mo Shisheng like this, Shangguan Qi felt extremely uncomfortable. In the past, it was always Mo Shisheng who wanted to leave, and Shangguan Yan would hold her back and keep talking to her.
Being suddenly told to leave left Shangguan Qi feeling quite uncomfortable.
After Shangguan Qi left, Mo Shisheng stretched and walked to the bedside, where she nestled lazily into the soft quilt.
The sudden time travel caught Mo Shisheng completely off guard. Everything was a mess, and even now, Mo Shisheng still felt like she was dreaming...
