13.1 – This kind of sweet and easy plot was the hardest to change…

After the dust settled, Xue Ling kept his promise and had Xi dispel the poison in Ivan’s body.
But he had merely removed the poison in his body. The traces of darkness left behind by the corrosion of darkness weren’t erased. Ivan’s future changed from that of a healer with infinite possibilities to a broken body who was no longer loved by the power of light. However, this was unimportant for him, because Ivan’s IQ and mental state had regressed to that of a five-year-old child after he killed his lover. He did not want to grow up, did not want to face what he did, and did not want to recall the scene of kneeling by his lover’s side in a pool of blood of his own making…

So he chose to avoid it.
He couldn’t understand what he had done that night, and did not want to spend the rest of his life suffering from guilt and repentance, so he completely sealed himself up after waking up from his coma.
News of what happened in the palace that night was completely blocked by Murphy. She wanted to protect the royal family, so she could only watch as the Crown Prince died. She even came to an agreement with Xue Ling and pulled the Queen from the throne.
A month later, the Queen was banished to the Demonic Beast Forest. She lost everything she had and wandered naked through the forest, but that wasn’t enough for Xue Ling. He had Xi turn the Queen into a demonic beast with gorgeous fur, and because her beautiful fur, the Queen’s remaining days were spent avoiding the hunters who wanted to hunt her. She was finally killed brutally by the hunters, skinned, and made into the beautiful clothing she once wore.
After all this was over, Xue Ling stayed with Xi in accordance with the agreement they had made, but the relationship between them had always been somewhat strange. Xi brought Xue Ling back to the center of the Demonic Beast Forest, which was the only place on this continent suitable for the existence of gods. The system had always been very curious about where the other gods had gone, and wanted to know what exactly Xi had done back then to make himself the only god, but Xue Ling never asked, and Xi never touched on the matter, so the system’s curiosity was never satisfied.
Many unexpected incidents had occurred in this world. Most of them were related to Xue Ling’s tail that had somehow appeared in Xi’s body. The system sent an inquiry to the Ten Directions World and received instructions to tell Xue Ling that it could help him remove the energy contained within that tail, but there would be after effects in doing so.
“He will forget about me completely in the next world?” Xue Ling’s face was a bit strange as he responded to the system’s words.

“Yes. Normally, he will fall in love with host as soon as he sees you because the accumulated love from these words has made his feelings for you so strong. But helping host force out the energy will affect this particular setting, and the situation where he falls in love with you at first sight won’t happen in the next world.” The system helped Xue Ling make this analysis, and added, “In other words, host can choose to enjoy the next world without being harassed by him, or set up a fun play where you take the initiative and seduce him to fall in love with you~”
Xue Ling rubbed his chin and said, “Not only will he forget me, he’ll also forget his love for me…” He made a sound of acknowledgement, and felt that doing it this way wasn’t bad at all. The man had always come to him on their own initiative over countless worlds, and there was nothing so impossible about him trying to approach the man for once… He felt that it would be more fun that way, like starting an entirely new love affair.
Xue Ling seldom took the active position in the relationship between them. Most of the time, it was because he was lazy and the man always diligently stuck close to him… This was probably because the man’s ‘accumulated love from every world’ was flaring up. Now that this setting had been affected and no longer had its original effect, it could also be considered as an opportunity for Xue Ling.
“Host, have you decided yet?”

“I have no other choice.” This was not a choice at all, more like a single-choice question. He definitely needed to recover his strength. But there was another key point. “Will the breaking of these so-called settings of yours also affect his original memories?”
“No, these settings seem to be set by the Ten Directions World… I don’t know why the boss wants to do these strange things, though.”
Xue Ling nodded and said, “We’ll do that, then.”
Xi had no objection to Xue Ling’s proposal to take away the energy that did not belong to him in the first place. He seemed to know that Xue Ling did not belong to this world and even appeared to understand that Xue Ling was not Oliver, so he never called him by that name.
Regarding Xue Ling’s departure, Xi only asked a single question. “Will we meet again?”
Xue Ling asked him back, “If I approached you on my own initiative, would you still fall in love with me?”
The two of them fell silent, and nobody answered at the end because they both knew what the answer was.
They had split apart and come back together again in so many worlds; a short separation was always followed by a long time of companionship. It was just like the reincarnation process of a world, no matter what, they would always be able to return to each other’s side, and then accompany each other for a lifetime.
The figure of the man finally appeared in Xue Ling’s mind when he returned to the sea of his memories once again.
There would always be transmigrators around the Boundary Masters because Boundary Masters controlled space. They would naturally make adjustments to their world for the sake of stability, and Xue Ling, who was now a spirit that had escaped the shackles of the body, used the child named Ji Zichen whose body he had hitched a ride on as a focal point as he explored outwards. He discovered that all the transmigrators in this world were all connected by the same bond.

That link was called Su Liunian. Ji Zichen had been to his home before, but Xue Ling had not felt that there was anything strange about it at the time.
Xue Ling thought hard, and finally asked Ji Zichen. He overlaid the people he met in Su Liunian’s home with the people he saw when he sensed the aura of the Boundary Master, and finally discovered one person.
That man’s name was Su Xuanyan, and he was the head of the Su family in that world.
