CHAPTER 1438: CHAPTER 1438: BATTLE (4)

Ye Qilan interrupted Xiao Ji’s words.

Just saying he doesn’t understand love, can he really make up for all the grievances Su Hongxing suffered because of him? What a joke.

"You say I hurt her, but as for you, if you hadn’t failed to protect her properly, how could she have suffered through these turbulent lifetimes? You are the real culprit! I am guilty, but your guilt is even greater!" Xiao Ji retorted coldly.

"So I have been punished. I spent numerous cycles of reincarnation in the Void Space just to return to her side. As for you, who hurt her across two lifetimes, you deserve to die. Given this, why should I save you? What reason do I have to save you? The wrongs I’ve done, I’ve never denied; I admit to them!" Ye Qilan’s aura was fierce.

At this moment, Xiao Ji didn’t know how to counter. It took him a while before he replied, "So I have exchanged my life for hers; I have been punished too."

"You say this is your punishment. Given this, why blame me for not saving you? I couldn’t wait for you to die early, to never be reborn!" After Ye Qilan finished speaking, he grabbed Su Hongxing’s arm and pulled her away.

Su Hongxing passively followed behind him, staring blankly at his profile.

Ye Qilan turned his gaze towards her, "Do you also blame me for not saving him back then?"

Su Hongxing didn’t know how to answer. Ye Qilan is one who avenges every grievance; wouldn’t it be normal for him not to save?

"I just think you’re quite calculating, and you probably can’t wait for him to die early?" Su Hongxing replied softly.

However, Ye Qilan didn’t anticipate that another Ye Qilan would return in Xiao Ji’s body; this was probably the so-called man proposes, but heaven disposes.

"Someone like him alive is worse than dead; of course, I hope he dies early. He just said those things to try and stir trouble between us, but I know in your heart, the only person you love is me, so his efforts are in vain." Ye Qilan had confidence in this.

But keeping Xiao Ji around was like leaving a ticking time bomb, utterly insufferable.

"I’m really confused right now. Ye Qilan, I feel I’ve been unfair to him." Su Hongxing said hesitantly.

After all, he had used his life to protect her, yet she turned and fell into this Ye Qilan’s arms. Such actions were too heartless and unjust.

"It’s difficult to have the best of both worlds in life. You must choose between us, and since you first married me and only love me, it is destiny. Destiny is not to be defied, what’s there to be troubled about?" Ye Qilan replied calmly, "Besides, it was his duty to protect you with his life. Don’t forget, in your past life, you died because of him, and when you were pregnant with Little Pudding, the miscarriage was nearly caused by him. He did so many things to hurt you and thought that being slightly good to you would mend things between you two—what a foolish dream! In the end, using his life to pay for yours was just him repaying what he owed you."

The other Ye Qilan deserved his fate, staying in the Void Space for several lifetimes, needing sufficient punishment to atone for his sins.

Su Hongxing thought Ye Qilan’s words made some sense, but she still couldn’t let go.

Ye Qilan also felt Su Hongxing’s gloomy mood, because afterward, Su Hongxing ignored him, retreating to her room alone. He immediately sent Little Pudding to keep Su Hongxing company, to cheer her up.

Not long after, Xiao Ji returned too. The two men exchanged glances, eyes filled only with hatred and hostility towards each other.

"You wished for my death, but I have returned. So, who will have the last laugh? It’s still undecided; don’t think you’ve won yet!" Xiao Ji coldly stared at Ye Qilan.
