217 Two Paths

"There's no need to go."

The scene of the surrounding Louying mountain began to shatter and then twisted and disappeared. A celestial woman came from the sky with petals scattering around. The smell of sandalwood filled the air and a magnificent light radiated all around, it seemed as if all the light in the world was shining here.

I held onto Bi Qing Shen Jun tightly and looked around the blank space that was on the verge of nothingness. The beautiful woman dropped from the sky, her head was full of greenish-blue pearls, her appearance was benevolent, and also her body had a majestic aura and she was standing on a five-colored cloud, surrounded by many beautiful fairies.

"My respects to Queen mother of the West." I was just about to pull Bi Qing Shen Jun to ask about this person but didn't expect him to kneel down and he also kept tugging at my skirt, so I also quickly followed and bowed down. I guessed that this must be a big person, and wondered what they came to find us for.

"Do you like viewing things through rose-tinted spectacles?" The Queen mother asked with a smile.

I glanced at Bi Qing Shen Jun's face and didn't know how to respond.

"The existence of this cat demon was originally a mistake, if you wish to return past and start afresh, I can let bygones be bygones." The Queen mother continued.

I opened my mouth and quickly asked, "Does starting afresh mean that when we return to the past, we won't know each other and everything can be turned around?"

"If you go back to the past, Heaven will erase both of your memories and from then on, never to meet again." The Queen mother's tone was very kind and gentle. "This way you can forget the unhappy past and start afresh. You don't need to suffer hardship anymore and also don't have to watch each other's suffering."

I hurriedly asked, "If we start afresh, there wouldn't be Xiao Mao and Yin Zi also wouldn't have a wife, all these experiences and emotions would all become nothing? Then I will go back to being an insensible cat and Bi Qing Shen Jun will go back to being a snake who doesn't understand emotions?"

After a moment's hesitation, The Queen mother said, "Yes, nothing will happen. But wouldn't such a life be better for you both? You both have high spiritual bones, especially Bi Qing Shen Jun. You should be able to progress forward. Although the Jade emperor was furious about your behavior, Heaven will not want to waste such talent like this."

"What about Bi Qing? Hua Miao Miao in the future had Bi Qing!" I hurriedly said.

"If you change the past, then in the future Bi QIng will be an ordinary person. His soul will no longer be Bi Qing Shen Jun's."

"I am not willing. It's also nice being a pet doctor." Bi Qing Shen Jun answered resolutely and decisively.

The Queen mother was hesitant, "You should think it over properly. This may be your last chance. Moreover, your son is dead. There is nothing to be worried about."

"I am also not willing." I shook my head and replied.

"Why?" The Queen mother frowned confused.

"Even if I can go back and start over...I don't want to erase the memories..." I carefully looked at Bi Qing Shen and saw him smile and nod, so I got the courage to continue, "If we don't remember anything, then Xiao Mao would have really never existed. Also, although there are many bad memories, there are also a lot of very happy and important ones as well. No matter what, I don't want to relinquish them."

"You both really cannot differentiate between good and bad." The Queen mother was a little angry.

I lowered my ears and felt that this woman was terrified and hurried and shrunk to Bi Qing Shen Jun's side.

The Queen mother continued to persuade, "If you both obstinately persist in going about things the wrong way, if you insist on continuing in the human world, the future is a dense fog. No one can see where it will go, also where and when you will you be born from reincarnation to reincarnation. In the next life, you may not necessarily meet and be together. If you go back to the past, your future prospects will be very bright. Bi Qing Shen Jun will continue to be the commander of the three armies and will turn into a Buddha, from then on, will attain a very high and lofty position. Hua Miao Miao, you will also continue to be the demon king on earth, because you are usually honest, it will not be easy to provoke enemies, will be able to live long and build a personal kingdom over a wide expanse."

I looked at her persuading patiently and then turned to Bi Qing Shen Jun and carefully asked, "Do you want to return to the past to be the commander of the three armies?"

Bi Qing Shen Jun just smiled and asked, "Do you want to go back to be the demon king on earth?"

So the two shook their heads together and refused the Queen mother's kindness, "Things we have chosen in the past, we do not regret them. Even if in the future it brings suffering, we would also be most willing."

"Only if you abandon the memories, can you be happy."

"We are not willing to abandon our memories."

"You will forget each other in the next reincarnation." The Queen mother finally advised.

"How the reincarnation will go, I don't know, but I can't choose to forget like this and abandon Yin Zi, Xiao Cha, and also abandon Jian Nan and LoLo, abandon Jin Wen and Wawa, and especially...This will be really abandoning Xiao Mao to return to the past, it's equal to him never existing." I bitterly said, "I am his mother, how can a mother choose to forget her husband and forget my own child? Your highness, Queen mother, don't tell me you would choose to forget your own child?"

"Our mind is already made up, there's no turning back." Bi Qing Shen Jun holding my hand tightly seemed to give me endless power.

The Queen mother sighed and suddenly laughed. Her body figure gradually disappeared into the sky. The flowers and the sandalwood aroma disappeared instantly, leaving behind an endless blank space and the foolish and Bi Qing Shen Jun.

The surrounding blank space shattered and slowly turned into darkness and I felt a heaviness descend on my eyelids and I couldn't resist going to sleep and gradually entering dreamland immersed in confusion.

When I woke up again, I saw the rising sun, I was soaking wet on a beach, with the waves kissing my feet, there was also a brazen crab that was crawking on me, I coughed out a few bubbles.

Another new day begins.

Confused, I quickly jumped up and looked around, but I saw Bi Qing who was lying on the beach not far from the water crawling up and squinting, rubbing his eyes, it seemed he was also somewhat confused after he saw me, he paused then said, "Are you alright? Why are we here?"

"What about Xiao Mao? Xiao Mao!" I screamed and ran up to the side of a figure in the sand, it was Xiao Mao's body, half of it was buried in the sand. He didn't open his eyes and seemed to be dying.

Bi Qing also followed me and jumped to Xiao Mao and desperately dusted the sand off his body and then checked his breath and relaxed, "It's okay, he's alive."

Without a second thought, I immediately grabbed his shoulder and shook him several times before Xiao Mao opened his eyes in a daze, "Mother, is it morning? I am so sleepy..."

"Tired, your head!" I yelled. Grabbed his clothes, and tore them off to check the condition of his injuries.

Xiao Mao hurriedly pulled his clothes and shouted with a red face, "I'm fine! Don't take off my pants! Even if you are my mother, you can't do this! Men and women are different!"

Bi Qing and I were very determined and efficiently stripped him to his underwear and seriously checked the injuries on his body, except for a few bruises and a crack in the ribs, there was no big problem. Then I let out a sigh of relief and then knocked him on the head and scolded, "You this fool! What were you thinking when you rushed up to blow yourself up with Ao Yun? You think you are a bubble bug!"

"I was showing filial piety and thought for you both to live well...and my bones are hurting, I am a patient, you should not hit me." Xiao Mao wanted to cry with no tears at the moment and was drawing circles in the sand.

"Why would we be alright? Where's Ao Yun?" After I calmed down, I remembered this key issue.

Xiao Mao scratched his head and was very surprised, "I remember that I rushed to explode at that time, then I can't remember anything after..."

I still wanted to ask but Bi Qing stopped me and happily said, "Don't pursue it, now that there is nothing alarming happening and everything is peaceful, it is better to go home and not think about it."

Listening to his tone, it seemed that he understood what was going on. I quickly asked him but he just smiled and didn't answer, just carried Xiao Mao on his back and quickly walked forward. Seeing them, father and son, the of them safe and sound, my heart was carefree and very happy. Finally, didn't ask anymore, and just took off my shoes filled with sand and chased after them.

Xiao Mao on Bi QIng's back, suddenly reached over and pulled me to whisper, "Mother, I love you..."

"Move! Children should go off to the side!" Bi Qing immediately reprimanded, "Your mother is my flower that I have meticulously cared for and spent so much effort to obtain! If you want to love, go find a girl for yourself! Don't fight over mine!"

"I'll just fight with you!" Xiao Mao unwillingly refuted.

"Don't fight!"

"I will! Every day I will climb my mother's bed and make you look on helplessly!"

"If you dare to interrupt me, I will break your cat legs!"

As I watched the two of them, father and son bickering and laughing, I couldn't help smiling along. The fishy smell all around, the sea breeze blowing and the vibrant morning sun shining brightly on as the three people walked down the very long trail ahead.

Both sets of footsteps heading in the same direction.
