Fate Trading System – Chapter 390

Plan B

The End

Always

This time, Su Xin’s memory was not erased.

【Host, are you sure you want to terminate the cooperative relationship?】

I’m sure.

【The cooperative relationship has been terminated. Remaining lifespan is 164 months. Please enjoy your life, Host.】

Okay.

【Before that, does the Host need to receive the previous memories?】

Yes.

Su Xin was a rather curious person. Regardless of whether the memories were good or bad, as long as they were hers, she wanted to know.

【Transmission in progress.】

Su Xin squeezed her eyes shut, accepting her memories.

After sorting through everything, she discovered a common thread.

The first time, she was a courtesan and met a female emperor.

The second time, she was a mermaid and met a princess.

The third time, she was an ordinary person and met a vampire big sister.

The fourth time, she was a female student of the Republican era and met a mysterious concubine.

The fifth time, she was a pear blossom demon and met a vicious ghost.

The sixth time, she was a mocked-for-nothing¹ and met a nine-lived cat².

The seventh time, she was a loyal interstellar soldier and met an admiral.

The eighth time, she was a trapped village girl and met a pagoda tree demon.

The ninth time, she was a timid hamster and met a big white wolf.

The tenth time, she was an unfavored imperial daughter and met a little pitiful one.

The eleventh time, she was a pitiful person with a sensitive body and met an ascetic³ doctor.

The twelfth time, she was an archeologist obsessed with answers and met a young police officer.

The thirteenth time, she was a cultivator with ruined meridians and met a genius who was like an exiled immortal.

The fourteenth time, she was a hero who had to save the world and met a virus.

The fifteenth time, she was a pregnant, long-suffering first wife and met an overbearing CEO.

The sixteenth time, she was a spare tire who committed suicide and met her secret crush’s stepmother.

The seventeenth time, she was a boudoir lady⁴ who threw herself into a lake and met a heavily injured general.

For seventeen cycles of reincarnation, there was one person who had always been protecting her, loving her deeply with no complaints or regrets.

Su Xin wouldn’t believe there wasn’t some cat crookedness⁵ going on. There was definitely a problem.

If all these people were the same person, then… who?

Master Fourteen, I think you should know, right?

【This one never intended to hide anything from the Host. All of this will be explained to you shortly. There is another segment of memory, now transmitting.】

After watching it, Su Xin was a little angry. This memory was precisely the one that had been erased.

Qiu Qingqing actually confessed to her? And because she didn’t agree, Qiu Qingqing had Fourteen turn back time and clear her memory?

And more importantly, Fourteen and Qiu Qingqing… what was their relationship?

【Host, just a moment ago, didn’t you already have the answer in your heart?】

Su Xin rolled around on the bed a few times, muttering to herself.

“This, this, this… is so awkward!”

Best friend instantly turning into a spouse, ahhhhhhh!

In fact, when she had just received all her memories and realized that the seventeen people were all the same person, the one who had emerged in her mind was Qiu Qingqing.

If there was one person in the world who would fall in love with her without a second thought every time they met, besides Qiu Qingqing, could there be anyone else?

It was an inexplicable confidence and certainty that made Su Xin herself feel like she’d seen a ghost⁶.

The her from that time would refuse because she had no memories of ever being in love.

She had never believed in love, because she felt that this kind of thing was more likely to spoil than friendship. Since there was a feeling that could let her and another person stay together for a lifetime, why choose to change it?

Su Xin didn’t dare to agree because she was afraid of loss.

She was afraid that one day, she and Qiu Qingqing would be two who look at each other and get weary⁷, afraid they would drift further and further apart, afraid that Qiu Qingqing would feel she wasn’t the ideal partner she had imagined.

But now, it seemed there was no reason to be afraid.

This person had loved her for seventeen lifetimes.

During this long process, she hadn’t accepted her every time, yet she still chose to stay by her side.

Master Fourteen, spill it. What exactly is going on?

The origin of all this, why was she chosen to become Fourteen’s host, and how did Qiu Qingqing have a connection with Fourteen?

Fourteen played a video for Su Xin. Su Xin intertwined her fingers and began to watch seriously.

The scene showed the very beginning. She was run over by a car, lying on the ground in a ghastly, unbearable sight.

Just looking at the scene made Su Xin feel as if her whole body was in pain all over again.

Someone quickly called the police, someone called for an ambulance, and the scene was a chaotic mess.

Someone picked up her phone, wanting to call her relatives.

Su Xin usually carried two phones, one for work and one for personal use.

The phone she had with her today had only one contact in it, Qiu Qingqing, with the nickname 【Sweetheart】.

She saw that person running over, ignoring the police’s attempts to stop her, and approaching her.

She looked so ugly, Su Xin herself couldn’t bear to look.

But to her astonishment, Qiu Qingqing actually placed a light kiss on that horrifying face.

Su Xin saw Qiu Qingqing’s tears, and she also saw her heart was like dead ash⁸.

Su Xin covered her face. Qiu Qingqing…

She watched as this person held a funeral for her, a funeral attended by only one person.

She recounted her entire life, with no audience to listen.

A speck of light appeared in the scene, landing in front of Su Xin’s coffin.

“Data transmission was delayed. I’ve actually arrived late.”

The flat, mechanical voice made Su Xin instantly recognize it as Master Fourteen.

“Who are you?”

In the video, Qiu Qingqing’s gaze locked onto the speck of light. The light flickered, seeming very surprised.

The speck of light didn’t continue speaking, but Su Xin saw the scene change.

“Master, someone who should still live for a long time saw me. What is going on?”

“Oh?”

It was a youth with a strikingly beautiful appearance, a pale face, and vibrant red lips. This must be the designer, Su Xin thought.

“Interesting.”

The man’s slender fingers tapped on a light screen, and complex code was transmitted into the speck of light.

“Just respond to her like this. Are you very optimistic about that one?”

“The compatibility is very high.”

“Go on.”

“Yes.”

Qiu Qingqing looked at the strange speck of light in the air that had just spoken, quietly waiting for its next move.

“Hello, this one is the Fate Trading System. The originally designated host was named Su Xin, but due to a data delay, this one arrived late. Logically, you should not be able to see this one, but… may I ask if you have a wish?”

“I want her to live. Is that possible?”

“In theory, it is not possible, because we only bind to those who are about to die. Through their efforts, they can extend their own lifespan. However, this one is the Fate Trading System. You cannot become a host, but you can become a client.”

“Do you wish to make a trade with this one? Offer your soul in exchange for her existence. She is very special, with a soul compatibility of up to 90% with me. If you are willing to form a connection with this one, this one can turn back time and bind her as this one’s host.”

“To put it simply, you contribute your soul as the trigger for the transaction. This one can retain your memory and rewind the world. She will be bound to this one and accept your missions. Normally, she would go into your body, but that would create a paradox, because your soul would still be there at that time.”

“So?”

“With modifications, you will share a soul with her. She will be ‘resurrected’ and carry out missions. You will be tied in life and death in the truest sense. However long she can live, you can live.”

“That sounds delightful.”

“If her first mission fails, then you will both cease to exist.”

“I am willing. I will trade my own soul.”

“This one’s master has specially prepared a bonus for you.”

“Hm?”

“After signing a non-disclosure agreement, you may go to the planes⁹ she is in and play an important role, but without your memories.”

“Okay.”

Qiu Qingqing hadn’t expected such a good thing and nodded quickly, though she still had a small doubt.

“Why… prepare this especially for me?”

“Wishing that all people with feelings will eventually become family¹⁰.”

“Thank you.”

If she could be given a chance to have her, she would try without the slightest hesitation.

At the same time, she also wanted to know if, when she had forgotten, she would fall in love with her all over again.

If so, then she would absolutely not let her get away.

【This is how it happened. This one has concealed some things from the Host in the past, but those are no longer important.】

Fourteen closed the projection.

Su Xin’s feelings were complicated; she didn’t know what to say.

【Goodbye. I hope that one day, we can meet again.】

Okay, goodbye. I hope your master is healthy and can be happy with his lover.

【Thank you. This one will pass on the blessings.】

Su Xin rolled on the bed twice. From now on, there would be no one to talk to her in her mind anymore.

A light knock on the door, three taps and then it stopped.

Su Xin sat up and hurried over to open the door.

Qiu Qingqing stood there, looking at her with a smile.

Su Xin yanked the person inside and slammed the door shut with a “bang.”

“Are you a fucking idiot! There’s no one in the world stupider than you! ‘Willing,’ my ass! You believed in me that much? What if I hadn’t completed the first world? You would have died with me!”

Su Xin roared, Idiot, you big idiot. But as she spoke, tears fell uncontrollably.

How annoying. She was clearly not a person who liked to cry.

“Without you, there’s no meaning for me to be alone.”

Qiu Qingqing used her fingers to wipe away Su Xin’s tears.

“If I don’t even believe in you, then who else in this world is worthy of my belief?”

Qiu Qingqing kissed Su Xin’s lips, the motion practiced and natural.

I’ve finally waited for this day.

I’ve finally, thoroughly ensnared the person I’ve coveted for so long.

“Why do you like me,” Su Xin’s voice was muffled.

“Why wouldn’t I like you.”

“When did it start?”

“When I was ten.”

“Reclining trough¹¹? You, you, you! You were plotting against me that early on!”

“That’s right. I was harboring a bad heart¹² and scheming off the rails¹³.”

Qiu Qingqing hugged Su Xin and rolled onto the bed, speaking thus into her ear.

On the day time was turned back, she waited for her at home.

When she saw her standing perfectly fine in front of her, her heart crazily wanted to pull her into a tight embrace, but she could only pretend to be nonchalant, smiling at her and saying a single sentence, “Welcome home.”

Welcome home, my dearest love.
