"I will return his memory if he chooses me. But if he chooses to be the Emperor instead with his harem full of beautiful Ger men and women, then so be it. I will let him be happy."
Bai Yunyu crushed the egg-shaped jade stone for the last time.
"Tsk, what a drama queen," Pupa complained. But it had nothing against it, though. Pupa just thought it would be wiser for Yunyu to be more logical, to kill that emotion when taking an important decision.
But Pupa was still a machine without heart configuration. Yunyu was still a human driven by his emotion, unlike some protagonists in Quick Transmigration novels. They were all logical, professional, and sometimes cold with the decision.
Yunyu had no memories about his past and was also a man that used his emotion most of the time. They got into many troubles because of this, but there was nothing Pupa could do about it anyway.
In fact, if Pupa could be a bit honest…
[Pupa: Well, I think his human side is pretty cute. At least, he still retains it after so many painful experiences in many worlds.]
[Awww, Cutiepie Pupa, I know that you actually love me~]
[Pupa: What the—]
Pupa just realized that Yunyu could hear its inside thought as well. It was so used to being Larva for a while that it just forgot.
[Pupa: Nevermind. I take what I said before.]
[Aish, don't be shy. I love you too, you know~]
[Pupa: Peh! Pei! Nasty! Disgusting!]
Yunyu chuckled while watching the Rewind Stone reacted after it got crushed. The purple energy inside the stone was released and shot up to the sky, creating a thick dark cloud that filled the sky.
And then, a hole was created in the middle, and it started sucking everything like a black hole. The same thing that happened before. But this time, it was Huang Shu that got sucked inside instead of Yunyu. Everything around them disappeared and was contained in the dark cloud above them.
"Master Bai Yunyu, do you want to plant a new memory or erase any memory before we rewind this world?" The Rewind Stone asked.
"Ah, Pupa, this thing actually recognizes me!"
"Then, it's positive that you and Master Han Ye are the ones who created this Rewind Stone together," Pupa stated.
Bai Yunyu remembered what Huang Shu did to remove some of his memory. He then picked Huang Shu from the dark cloud. Yunyu stared at him for a moment and said, "Huang Shu, because you said you don't want to restraint me, you want me to be free. Then I will set you free as well."
Yunyu took all of Huang Shu's memory about Rewind Stone, the memory about previous timelines, and memory about Bai Yunyu.
He was now an eighteen years old handsome Seventh Prince, the most gallant and the smartest. Albeit also the coldest out of them all. Huang Shu knew about Yunyu when he reached nineteen, and Yunyu was seventeen back then.
Both of them were in the right age of marriage in their tradition.
He knew about Xi Yue, though he still didn't like her romantically, only recognizing her as a study partner when they were younger. And he was filial to his mother, Imperial Concubine Ai.
"Perfect," Yunyu said.
"You won't leave any memory of you?" Pupa asked. "It's a bit risky since that means he will see you as a stranger."
"That's alright. If we're meant for each other, he will find me again in the end," Yunyu said. "But if we are not, then I will let him be happy and maybe skip this world to the next world first. We can do that, right?"
…
"Yeah," Pupa affirmed.
"Good."
Pupa still couldn't understand Yunyu's train of thoughts. He was so illogical in his action. He basically stripped all his advantages for this thing called 'true love' in Huang Shu's heart.
"You're betting everything in a small chance."
"I know," Yunyu replied with a smile.
"It's a heart thing, Pupa."
"Still illogical," Pupa tried to reason more.
"You wouldn't understand. But for me, I just feel like… this is the right thing to do."
…
Pupa sighed. There was nothing it could do since Yunyu didn't want to hear its advice, "You haven't even recovered your memory. Why do you think that you have everything figured out?"
"Eh… I just have the feeling that my relationship with Master Han is a toxic one. But I don't know to what extent. I didn't even know what I did."
"Since Huang Shu is part of him, I can vaguely grasp that his love is a possessive and selfish one, though I know that his love is true. Huang Shu endured a lot of hardship alone while staying loyal to me…"
"That's why I want him to be free first and choose. If love is fated, then let the red string of fate guided us together."
…
Pupa thought Yunyu would restart now, but it turned out he still searched for one more person that he wanted to change the memories. It was Xu Jiansheng.
The moment they got close, the red chain between their hearts appeared again, "I think, Jiansheng did something when I was unconscious during that ritual."
"Perhaps, I was gone as well to recover myself after absorbing your pain."
Yunyu stared at Jiansheng and caressed his cheek inside the dark cloud, "You're both Aaron Xu and Xu Jiansheng, right?" Yunyu searched for Xu Jiansheng's past memory, but somehow, he only retained the memory as Xu Jiansheng, not Aaron Xu.
"That's weird… so this means he doesn't remember being Aaron Xu?"
"I'm not sure either. But he does follow you to this world, from Aaron Xu to Xu Jiansheng," Pupa said.
Yunyu nodded, "Well, based on this timeline, he got his memory as previous timeline's Xu Jiansheng when he touched the red chain. I'm not sure if he will follow me again in the next world, so best to hide the memory forever."
"You don't want Xu Jiansheng to remember too?"
"I still remember how Aaron Xu and Xu Jiansheng loved me so much to no avail. He deserves better, just in case if he follows me again," Yunyu said. "He is not our target, so let him live as a normal person instead."
Yunyu asked the Rewind Stone, "Can you… block his memory about me?"
The Rewind Stone shone a bit, "Master Bai Yunyu, this means he will not remember you even after he touched the red chain of fate—"
"—Red chain of fate…" Yunyu pondered.
"He can see the red chain, but he will not be able to recover the memory about you." The voice inside the Rewind Stone said.
"Yes, that's okay."
The Rewind Stone shone brightly before putting the essence of a dark cloud inside Xu Jiansheng's brain.
After he made sure that everything was done, Bai Yunyu nodded and then pushed Xu Jiansheng slowly inside the dark cloud.
"Okay, all is done. Let's return to when I was just sixteen in this world."
"Understood, Master."
Yunyu watched as the dark cloud spouted everything inside its belly of emptiness back to this world. Including Yunyu's appearance as sixteen years old ger man, a promising youth back then.
Yunyu hugged Pupa and jumped into the world again, "Cheer up, Pupa. This will be our third timeline. We can do this!"
"… somehow, I doubt the last sentence, but oh well," Pupa rolled its eyes, and they jumped back to this world.
