Xue Ling gritted his teeth and grabbed Yin Jia’s, or rather, Su Xuanyan’s collar. He was dissatisfied as he leaned forward and demanded, “You can come out now? What were you doing before? Was it fun to watch me tossing about like this?”
Su Xuanyan helplessly soothed his ruffled feathers. “Not so.”

Xue Ling sneered coldly. He did not speak further, but his appearance clearly said that if Su Xuanyan did not explain things clearly today, he would never let it go.
Su Xuanyan suppressed a smile and gave him a kiss. “You’re really angry?”
Xue Ling turned his head away and refused to look at him.
Su Xuanyan somewhat helplessly pulled Xue Ling into his arms, bowed his head and gave him another kiss. “I’m sorry, that was not my intention. We are already at the last step, and I can liberate my memory for a limited time in this world’s settings. Seeing that you were truly feeling aggrieved, I couldn’t help but come out.”
Xue Ling was stunned. “You’re always aware of what’s happening?”
Su Xuanyan held him and slowly petted his head, one stroke after another as though stroking along his fur. It made Xue Ling feel comfortable, and he casually rubbed his head against him, his eyes blinking slowly. “That’s not quite it. I can still feel what is happening after my memories are sealed. The rules of each world will exaggerate whatever personality traits I already have that fits with the world’s role’s setting in order not push the role off-track.”
It was Xue Ling’s first time hearing Su Xuanyan talk about his state when he enters these worlds.

“Every time you leave the worlds, I will follow soon after and leave with you. The love that I feel for you in each world will fade away and then accumulate in my original body, so when you ask me what I think…” Su Xuanyan spoke helplessly, “What else can I think? I can only be a madman who loves you.”
Xue Ling complained, “Hearing you say it like that makes me unhappy. It’s as though I forced you to like me.”
“Yes, yes, yes. It’s naturally not your fault. Liking you or loving you is my pleasure.” Su Xuanyan looked at the person in his arms, and his thoughts soared. He finally understood why someone would tell him that something was more precious when it was lost and then recovered. Su Xuanyan couldn’t help but laugh as he once again touched his head and spoke softly, “Meeting you, and falling in love with you, should be the luckiest event of my life.”
Xue Ling was silent for a moment before asking, “Then, can you now tell me about exactly what kind of relationship there is between us?”
Su Xuanyan said, “Are you so anxious to know? Right at this moment?”
Xue Ling pursed his lips and did not speak.

Su Xuanyan looked down at him and saw the determination in his eyes. He could not help laughing again, and said, “Will you throw a tantrum if I don’t tell you now?”
Xue Ling harrumphed, then wrapped his arms around his neck and leaned up to exchange a kiss. This kiss did not carry any traces of lust, and held more nostalgia and love. These ambiguous feelings stretched between them for a while before Xue Ling pecked lightly at Su Xuanyan’s lips, closed his eyes, and whispered, “I want to know exactly who you are… want to know exactly what our relationship is… I want to know how we came to this point… want to know if we have a past… I want to know so, so much…”
Su Xuanyan could feel that his heart was uneasy. He bowed his head to smile gently and comfort him. It was clearly the same face, but on Yin Jia it was serious, almost cruel, discouraging others from getting close. When it was Su Xuanyan, it seemed gentle to the bone. Xue Ling nested in his arms and was reluctant to leave; the amount of time they could spend together like this was pitifully limited, and he really cherished it. “You don’t already know who I am?” Asking Xue Ling this question in this particular way confirmed his previous speculation right then and there.
“It turns out that you’re really a Boundary Master…” Xue Ling found this a little unbelievable as he spoke, “That world… so it really held a Boundary Master… I thought that the fragments of my memory were deceiving me…”
Su Xuanyan nodded and said, “The Su Family is a Boundary Master family. A new Boundary Master will emerge every five hundred years, and the bloodline of the Su Family will become scarce. Since ancient times, the Su Family’s line of inheritance has almost broken down several times because of the appearance of the Boundary Masters. In my generation, I am the Su Family’s Boundary Master.”
“Then I…”
Su Xuanyan stretched out his hand to block his lips, lowering his head to rest it against Xue Ling’s neck. He continued quietly, “Every Boundary Master will have a spiritual artifact bound to them. It is an existence that is bound to them from birth, which enables them to have better control when they use their abilities as Boundary Masters… But my spiritual artifact was not an object…”
Xue Ling was shocked silly for a good while. He could understand what the man meant, and pointed a finger at himself.

Su Xuanyan kissed him on the forehead and said, “Yes, you are my spiritual artifact. You can understand the relationship between us as master and spiritual artifact, but the best interpretation is that we are bound together for life. Perhaps we won’t be separated even in the next life.”
Xue Ling shocked for a very long time, unable to gather his wits. He had never thought that he had been twisted up about this for so long, but ultimately their relationship was so… weird?
Su Xuanyan petted his back as he helped him recover. “Truly cute. Your expression was also like this when you learned about it the first time. Silly and shocked, and after you recovered, you were unwilling to be bound to me, and wanted to dissolve our relationship…”
Xue Ling: “…” What was he laughing at? That was a very normal reaction, okay? Who would be willing to be tied to a stranger! “That’s not right…” He suddenly reacted. “Since we’re bound together, why… did I grow up without you?”
“You don’t remember?” Su Xuanyan’s mood turned somewhat depressed when they reached this point. “You were too fragile when you were born. Because your existence violated the natural law, you almost couldn’t survive. The elders in the family had no experience regarding a spiritual artifact being a spiritual animal, and after a long discussion, they came to the conclusion that our mutual existence in the same world was threatening the will of the world’s heavenly order, which is why it wanted to kill you… There was no other way. They could only send you to another world.”
Xue Ling’s memory and the man’s story merged together flawlessly, and his childhood memories became more distinct.
“I was also a child at the time, and my health was not good because the will of the world was against us…”

Xue Ling nodded and said, “What happened then?”
“You will remember what happened after that when you return to the system space.” Su Xuanyan also nodded, then said, “In fact, I also appeared now because of something related to the next world.”
