To be honest, my heart was filled with anger. Only at the last moment did I understand. It turned out that Prince Yue had planned this step by step from the beginning.
/p
What did he want?
/p
He wanted a God's grievance to be redressed, and three non-human tribes to be wiped out. But did he only want the three non-human tribes to be wiped out? I'm afraid it was more than that.
/p
I sighed and said to Prince Yue, "When you first saw me, I thought it was strange. It was the first time we met, but we seemed to be familiar with each other, as if we were reunited after a long separation. But I had just entered this body, opened my eyes, and felt hungry. How could we be familiar with each other? "
/p
I couldn't bear to look at him. "After thinking about it, I'm afraid it has something to do with my memories that have been erased. I don't know what those memories are. Now, I'm giving you a chance. I want you to make this decision. Do I want to know about those memories that have been sealed for a long time?"
/p
Whether those memories were good or bad, I could tell by his decision.
/p
Prince Yue said, "Do you remember when we first met?"
/p
His eyes were like a child's, pure and flawless. His cunning had been buried by the snow, and he was as clean as the beginning of the world.
/p
I unconsciously nodded at this kind of look.
/p
Prince Yue seemed to be reminiscing, he slowly said: "At that time, I was really happy, I thought you still had your memories, I thought we would meet again, I didn't expect you to only stare coldly at me with your sharp teeth, your entire body on guard as you questioned who I was. At that time, I understood that your memories had long been erased. "
/p
I was stunned and blurted out, "You didn't erase them?"
/p
Prince Yue shook his head firmly. "No."
/p
Seeing his firm attitude, I believed him. Thinking back to when we first met, I felt that he was trustworthy.
/p
I said, "Let me ask you another question."
/p
Prince Yue: "Go ahead."
/p
Me: "Are you Prince Yue?"
/p
Prince Yue said, "The mortal body is nothing more than a bag of skin. Reincarnation is a cycle of life and fortune. The bag of skin can only be left in the yellow earth to be eaten by insects and ants. In less than a hundred years, it will become a pile of black ash and scatter with the wind."
/p
My boss didn't like to hear these words. "Yes means yes, no means no. What's the point of using so many rhetorical metaphors?"
/p
Prince Yue: "…"
/p
Me: "Is that so?"
/p
Only then did Prince Yue answer honestly: "Yes."
/p
I nodded in satisfaction and continued to ask, "Did you reincarnate with a quest?"
/p
Prince Yue opened his mouth and was about to speak, but I stopped him and said, "Just say yes or no."
/p
Prince Yue was helpless, but he still listened to me and said, "Yes."
/p
I asked, "Did I come with you?"
/p
Prince Yue looked at me seriously and answered softly, "Yes."
/p
"My two quests are the same?"
/p
Prince Yue nodded and said, "Yes."
/p
I was worried that he would become stupid. "This is an important question. Think carefully before you answer. Yes or no?"
/p
Prince Yue said, "Yes."
/p
My heart calmed down, and I waved my hand, pardoning Prince Yue's ban, and said, "Alright, you can answer honestly."
/p
Prince Yue smiled and said, "What else do you want to know? I'll tell you everything."
/p
I said, "It's nothing. It's just that every time I think about it, my heart feels empty and unhappy. It was an accident that I fell into this body. I accidentally lost all my memories. I'm always afraid that I'll forget something important. You're so stubborn that you won't tell me anything. I'm always afraid. "
/p
Prince Yue said, "In the past, you liked to hide behind me and I was happy to stand up for you. Although you've lost your memories, I haven't. As long as I'm by your side, I'll protect you. You can also slack off and hide behind me for a day. "
/p
I excitedly threw myself on his body and rubbed against him like a big dog for a long time. Prince Yue was amused by me and giggled. He held me in his arms and rubbed me with all his might. The two of us were like children, laughing and joking in this bright cave that was full of life again.
/p
For some reason, the inside of the cave became colder and colder, making one's hair stand on end.
/p
I sighed. "It would be great if I could pick up those lost memories." That way, I would be able to feel at ease and not worry about personal gains and losses.
/p
Prince Yue seemed to feel something and tightened his arms around me. "Actually, there's a way."
/p
I looked up happily and asked him, "What way?"
/p
Prince Yue pointed at the dark hole on the other side of the road. Inside was a benevolent god who had been kneeling for a thousand years, bitterly supporting himself for the new year. Prince Yue said, "That is the residence of the god. If you beg him, you might be able to recover your memories and recover all of your abilities."
/p
I resisted instinctively and waved my hands. "No, no."
/p
Prince Yue raised his voice in confusion: "Don't want it?"
/p
I said firmly, "No!"
/p
"You don't regret it?"
/p
I shook my head even more firmly. "No, I don't regret it at all." Seeing Prince Yue's gaze, I couldn't help but want to explain to him more clearly. "You saw it too. I am a lazy person. Now that I know that you are blocking in front of me, I know the rough situation. Then, why would I take back those memories? It's unnecessary! "
/p
Prince Yue laughed at me. "It's not unnecessary. You're just lazy."
/p
I didn't feel ashamed. Instead, I felt proud. "A diligent wife is a lazy husband. The opposite is also true! We're all living together. It's enough to have someone to do it for us. Why do we have to obsess over who does it? "
/p
Prince Yue was stunned for a moment before he shook his head in defeat and said, "You have a glib tongue. I admit defeat."
/p
The two of us played around for a while. Then, we stood in a row and bowed three times to the lamentable God behind the Great Path. I said, "If I'm not mistaken, we should be his subordinates. Did he give the order to exterminate the non-humans?"
/p
Prince Yue answered without hesitation, "Yes." Then he asked, "Are you merciful now?"
/p
I shouted, "Do you think I have the time to do that? The God has been merciful enough to tolerate this ungrateful race for a thousand years. The non-humans will be exterminated sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. "
/p
Prince Yue said, "I'm relieved to hear that."
/p
The punishment ceremony of the non-humans became a ceremony for me and Prince Yue. The injustice of a thousand years was finally resolved. Before I left, I looked at the end of the Great Path for a long time. I didn't feel any regret. Instead, I felt an itch in my heart. What did the thousand-year-old God look like? Why did he willingly suffer for so long? These were questions I wanted to ask, but I didn't know if I should ask them.
/p
Prince Yue didn't rush me when he saw my hesitation. He just counted the days in silence. Then, he exclaimed, "Ah!"
/p
It was rare for Prince Yue to panic. I threw all the questions out of my mind. Curiously, I turned to look at him. "What's wrong?"
/p
"We've been delayed for more than ten days," Prince Yue said. "I don't know what the remaining five non-human tribes are doing, or what Guan Zhongsheng Village is doing."
/p
More than ten days ago, Prince Yue and Princess Consort Yue were supposed to arrive at Guan Zhongsheng Village to take over as border officials. According to the intelligence from the non-humans, His Highness's escort team must have taken the initiative to hide the fact that he and I had gone missing. Everyone probably thought that Prince Yue was already in Guan Zhongsheng Village.
/p
After thinking it through, I started to worry. "Will Guan Zhongsheng Village collude with the non-humans and take advantage of the chaos?"
/p
"That won't happen. Let's not talk about the fact that three of the eight non-human tribes are already there. Let's talk about the things they care about the most: the Tianxuan Pearl and the Rehmannia Glutinosa. These two things are in our hands. They won't dare to make a move for the time being."
/p
Now that I thought about the past, I said thoughtfully, "Back then, in order to obtain this bead, you must have used some tricks."
/p
Prince Yue was thick-skinned. "I just added fuel to the fire. I had already completely offended the non-humans by wiping them out to the southwest. There were quite a few of them who chased me to the capital to kill me. It just so happened that the Southern Sea had given the Tianxuan Pearl to the Imperial Palace with great fanfare, so I purposely spread the news to attract these greedy people and catch them all in one fell swoop. "
/p
I pointed out righteously. "You also put the Tianxuan Pearl in your pocket."
/p
Prince Yue coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.
/p
I said, "Then we should leave quickly. Even if the non-humans and Guan Zhongsheng Village didn't collude, they would still make things difficult for your subordinates. My two beautiful maids still haven't found husbands for them. They can't fall in the hands of these tyrannical people."
/p
Prince Yue nodded and looked back at the road. His lips curled into a smile. I also pretended not to see.
/p
When I first came down, I took advantage of the fishmen tribe. Now that the fishmen tribe had been completely wiped out, I looked at the clear lake outside the tunnel and felt a little worried. Prince Yue followed me out and followed my gaze to the lake blocking the way. He also felt worried.
/p
Prince Yue didn't know where he saw this method in a book. He said to me, "How about this, I'll cut some vines and weave a tight rattan basket for you. I'll have to trouble you to hide in it for a while, and then I'll transport you out of the water."
/p
I looked at him sadly. "How long will that take?"
/p
Prince Yue looked at the small buds that had just sprouted and roughly calculated. "About ten years."
/p
/p
/p
I expressionlessly turned my face away. If you don't know how to tell a joke, then don't tell it. Now I'm shivering from the cold.
/p
Prince Yue was still thinking hard about what to cut to complete his magnificent task of making a basket when I saw a sudden movement in the water. A path suddenly appeared in the middle of the lake, cleanly and neatly extending to my feet. I seemed to have only heard of this kind of magic in legends. I couldn't help but stare blankly for a long time.
