Chapter 306 Choosing Again
Where is this place?
Shi Nuanyu walked through a misty fog, reaching out her hand blankly to brush against the white mist that she could see but couldn't touch.

She remembered that she was sleeping, so why was she here?
"Three of bamboo".

"Eighty thousand."

"Hey, Xuanyi, brother, let's go! We're going to win!"

"Honey, you lost again. You've lost all your money."

"Grand Master Cangsong, how about a few rounds?"

"The old Taoist has no worldly concerns in his heart."

"Pretending to be something you're not, who was the one who lost so badly yesterday?"

Why are there voices and the sound of mahjong being played?
Shi Nuanyu's heart was pounding like a drum. Curious, she pushed aside the white mist, and it seemed that the person she had been longing for was ahead of her.

Auntie!

Father, Mother!
As the white mist was peeled away layer by layer, she ran desperately through the clouds, heading towards the place where her heart belonged.

Shi Shuishui seemed to sense something and looked ahead: "Oh my, our little baby is back."

Teasing voices rang out, the clouds and mist in front of them dispersed, and familiar faces appeared.

Her aunt, father, mother, her hated uncle, and an old man with a long beard and a sage-like appearance whom she had never met before.

Shi Nuanyu's eyes welled up with tears, her limbs felt weak, and she didn't know how she got there. Looking at her loved ones whom she had been thinking about day and night, she cried out in grievance.

"Auntie, I miss you so much."

Shi Shuishui hugged her tenderly, "Baby, don't cry, don't cry. This time, Auntie won't leave you again."

Ji Xuanyi, who was holding eight mahjong tiles, coughed and tugged at her clothes.

Shi Shuishui coldly shook her off, saying, "No one is more important than the baby."

Ding Lan looked on enviously, "Baby only wants Auntie, Mommy is so envious."

Shi Zheng took her hand and said, "Spend more time with your daughter in the future and make up for what you missed before."

The National Preceptor Cangsong sighed, "A family reunion is enough."

After crying her fill, Shi Nuanyu stepped out of her aunt's arms and wiped away her tears shyly.

"Auntie, what's going on? Why are you all here? And why am I here?"

So many questions, so much to know.

Shi Shuishui and the other four exchanged smiles. She pondered for a moment and found a suitable word.

"This story begins with my aunt's accidental journey to another world. At that time, my aunt was the most powerful ghost king in the world. She went to a strange world and became your father's sister."

Later, it was discovered that your father's lover, your mother, was a wandering spirit, only able to exist in the human world for a few years, and unable to reincarnate. To help them, your aunt decided to send them to another world to seek opportunities.

It turns out my aunt is the Ghost King! How fantastical!
Shi Nuanyu listened attentively, giving her parents a sweet smile. Ding Lan happily patted her head, her eyes brimming with joy.

"and then?"

Shi Shuishui continued, "Then they discovered that for them to rekindle their relationship, there needed to be a continuation of their bloodline. My aunt came to this world to look for an opportunity and met the Grand Preceptor Cangsong. He begged me to give him a chance."

Shi Nuanyu looked over curiously and greeted him politely.

"Grand Preceptor, hello."

He was actually the Grand Preceptor of Cangsong, Qinghe's master. Wasn't he dead?
The Imperial Preceptor Cangsong chuckled and replied, "Little princess, yes."

Shi Shuishui pinched her ear, signaling her to concentrate on the lesson.

"At that time, this continent was engulfed in war, and the chosen ones were killing each other. The plane was on the verge of collapse. When the Grand Preceptor Cangsong learned why I had come, he asked me to save this plane and his disciple." "He was blessed with great merit, and I could not refuse. I happened to see Shi Nuanyu, who had become a remnant soul, in the Nanyue Imperial Palace. I immediately regarded her as the continuation of my brother and sister-in-law. I took Shi Nuanyu's remnant soul back to the mortal world to start a life and support her remnant soul."

That's why she has memories of the modern world.

Shi Nuanyu's throat was dry. "Am I her?"

Shi Shuishui gently touched her face, "Yes and no. The remnant soul was fully restored, and everything started anew by going back in time. My brother and sister-in-law were reborn in Nanyue with their memories, and I sealed your memories of the modern world and sent you back into the cycle of reincarnation."

After my sister-in-law gave birth to you, we realized that history cannot be changed and must follow its original course. Therefore, we had to seal away your memories of the sixteen years you lived in Nanyue, replacing them with modern memories, allowing you to choose your own ending anew.

Shi Nuanyu tried hard to digest this information, which is why her memories were sealed twice, leading her to believe that she was a transmigrator from a book.

"Why do I think this is a book? And what about the books I read in modern times?"

At this point, Shi Shuishui touched the tip of her nose somewhat embarrassedly.

"Your aunt isn't very good at making up stories, but I'll compile all of Shi Nuanyu's experiences into a book for you to read, so that our little one can avoid hardship."

“So that’s how it is,” Shi Nuanyu murmured to herself, “I am who I am.”

The experiences in the book are all true. She was saved by her aunt and her remnant soul was reshaped into a brand new Shi Nuanyu. Her aunt traveled back in time and allowed her to make a new choice.

"And what about Qinghe and the others?"

Shi Shuishui raised her chin and pointed at the Cangsong National Teacher, "When he saved his disciple, he saw that the others were good-looking. Before they died, he asked them if they were willing to do it again. Saving one is the same as saving seven. One of them, named Fusheng, died fiercely. He knew that his sins were heavy and he died for the sake of the people of the world."

"After their deaths, time was reversed, returning to the point in time when the treasure's memories were sealed for the second time."

Shi Nuanyu's heart skipped a beat, "Their memories..."

"There aren't that many rebirth packages that come with free memories. If they go back to that point in time, they'll have to make the same choices as the baby."

Seeing that she still had questions, Shi Shuishui covered her mouth, "Auntie has told you everything. The Grand Preceptor Cangsong died to save his disciple and the people of this world. He used his physical body and merits to save them. Auntie is now a ghost or god, so she has this ability."

No wonder I couldn't find the body; did it vanish on the spot?

Shi Nuanyu gave a thumbs up. "One last question."

The group looked at her with doting eyes, and Shi Shuishui replied with a smile, "Go ahead and ask, little baby."

“I’m all grown up now, Auntie, please don’t call me baby anymore,” Shi Nuanyu said, her face flushed. “It’s about the brocade pouch.”

“Oh, that one,” Shi Shuishui suddenly remembered that there was still a question she had missed, “It was written by the old national advisor, leaving the seven of them a chance to survive, and it was also the baby’s last choice.”

"Your parents have completed their mission in this world. They can go back to their original world with your aunt. Your aunt is asking you, would you like to come with us or stay in this world?"

“If you come with us, you will have to leave them, and they will lose their memories of you. If you stay, they will maintain their current lives.”

If she leaves, they will repeat the same mistakes; if she stays, they will live in peace.

However, she didn't want to leave her aunt, father, and mother.

Shi Nuanyu hesitated, unable to make the decision.

Shi Shuishui noticed her concerns and gently hugged her.

"Alright, there's another option. We'll all stay with you in this world until you grow old, then you'll have to come with us."

“Auntie,” Shi Nuanyu cried out, deliberately wiping her tears on her clothes, “you’re so mean. I want to stay here. Nuannuan likes them.”

"Knowing that you'll miss them, we'll stay here with you."

Shi Shuishui smiled and gently rubbed Shi Nuanyu's face. "We'll go back whenever they figure out the answer to the puzzle in the brocade pouch."

This chapter is a bit fantastical, so we need to make the beginning and end echo each other and connect everything.
