The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator

Watching them carry the person away, Su Yuanyuan lost interest in fishing. She found a deck chair, placed it at the bow of the boat, and leaned back lazily on it.

She sighed softly, thoroughly bored of drifting at sea.

The man who was pulled from the water didn't wake up until evening. The boatman brought him a bowl of white porridge and sat down beside him, looking at him with affection.

Su Yuanyuan silently shifted her gaze elsewhere, watching as this person, despite being extremely hungry, still drank the porridge with unparalleled elegance.

"What's your name? How did you end up floating in the sea?"

He had just finished his porridge when the boatman asked impatiently, his worry showing on his face.

Su Yuanyuan's lips twitched. "Your attitude is even more attentive to me than to me. Do you think I'm not as good-looking as him?"

He took the towel the boatman handed him, his movements quite natural, and wiped his mouth before speaking.

"My boat encountered a storm, and I was the only one who survived. Thank you for saving me, young lady."

He clearly knew who was in charge, so he cupped his hands to Su Yuanyuan and gave her a weak smile.

He tried to stand up by lifting the covers, but fell back onto the bed because of his weakness. He looked up at her with an apologetic expression.

"Excuse me, my name is Gong Jiu. May I ask how you should address me, young lady?"

Watching his series of actions, Su Yuanyuan would have believed him if she hadn't checked his pulse beforehand; his acting was truly superb.

Hearing him call her Gong Jiu again, Su Yuanyuan almost lost control of her expression. She said, "Why do I feel so familiar with him? Turns out he's a pervert too."

Before she could speak, the boatman chuckled and said, "So you're Young Master Gong. This is our employer. You can call her Miss Su."

This time, Su Yuanyuan couldn't help but burst out laughing. She turned her head and coughed twice to try and cover it up.

She keenly noticed that Gong Jiu's expression twisted for a moment, and he spoke gently to the boatman.

"Just call me Ninth Young Master," he said to Su Yuanyuan, "So you are Miss Su. I have no way to repay your life-saving grace."

"Need not!"

Su Yuanyuan interrupted him, saying that he should be grateful if he stayed away from her and didn't need to repay her.

"It was nothing, no need to repay us. You can come with us. We'll be going back to resupply in two days, then you can leave."

Gong Jiu looked up at her with her captivating peach blossom eyes, which shimmered with a clear, bright light. "Thank you, Miss Su."

Su Yuanyuan remained unmoved by being stared at like that. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible. Her previous experience told her that if she encountered a pervert, she should stay away as soon as possible. Being entangled with someone was not a good thing.

"You should rest now. I'm leaving."

Without waiting for anyone else to react, he rushed out of Gong Jiu's room.

For the next two days, Su Yuanyuan decided to stay in her room. If she couldn't afford to offend them, she could at least avoid them.

When she got bored, she started messing around with the things in her space, and she even saw a box of ice cream, which she didn't know when she had won.

She only knew that the space could keep food fresh, but she didn't expect it could also be used as a refrigerator. The ice cream showed no signs of thawing at all.

[System, can space be frozen?]

It's not freezing; it just means that whatever you put in stays the same way it came out.

Wow! Is this a new feature? It's so convenient!

Su Yuanyuan happily took out a box of chocolate-flavored ice cream, couldn't wait to scoop a spoonful and put it in her mouth, her eyes squinting with happiness.

[…Host, this function has existed before, you just didn't discover it.]

The system is becoming more and more human-like; she could even detect a hint of helplessness in its tone.

[System, you've leveled up again?]

Yes, that's right.

Su Yuanyuan blinked, took another bite of ice cream, and wondered why the system seemed reluctant to upgrade.

Why are you sighing? Isn't upgrading a good thing?

I don't think so. The more emotional you are, the more things you worry about, and your judgment will be affected by your emotions.

【for example? 】

For example, I really want to change hosts right now.

Even though she could tell it was a joke, Su Yuanyuan was still unhappy. She pouted and snorted.

[You may leave now and remain silent.]

[…Host, you can't just use it and then discard it.]

I'm not happy, I don't want to talk to you anymore today.

[Host, you're being a bit willful.]

Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes. So willful! No matter what the system said, she ignored it, finished her ice cream, and threw the trash into her space.

Leaning against the window, looking at the sky outside and counting the seagulls flying past, she soon started yawning.

She was just about to go to sleep when there was a knock on the door and Gong Jiu's voice.

"Miss Su, are you there?"

Su Yuanyuan stared at the door with dead fish eyes, and only reluctantly got up to open it after he knocked again.

"What's up?"

Gong Jiu seemed startled by her sudden opening of the door. Her eyes widened, and a moment of panic flashed across her face. Then she looked at her with a pitiful expression and spoke cautiously.

"Miss Su, did I disturb you? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, please don't be angry."

Su Yuanyuan's lips twitched violently, and her eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably.

What is Gong Jiu trying to do? Why is she bringing up tea? The tea itself isn't the problem; the key is that she knows what kind of person Gong Jiu is.

His behavior was frightening; Su Yuanyuan had a very bad feeling.

"I'm not angry. What does Ninth Young Master want with me?"

Su Yuanyuan tried her best to make her smile look more natural, and even her breathing became lighter.

"I've thought about it. I can't leave this life-saving grace unreturned. I hope Miss Su won't refuse."

Gong Jiu's expression looked extremely sincere, and his eyes remained fixed on her face.

Su Yuanyuan took a deep breath. "How does Ninth Young Master intend to repay me?"

“My home is on an island not far away, where there are many fun things to do. If Miss Su is not interested, there are also all kinds of gold and silver jewelry. If Miss Su takes me back, I can give them all to you.”

Upon hearing her words, Gong Jiu was stunned for a second, thinking that Su Yuanyuan would continue to refuse.

When he came to his senses, his whole body lit up, and his eyes sparkled with joy.

Oh!

Su Yuanyuan suddenly realized that this was where he was waiting for her. What kind of good place could his little island be?

Gong Jiu's martial arts skills are so high that she probably wouldn't be able to get out if she went up there, but if she doesn't agree, he can still knock her unconscious and take her away.

Su Yuanyuan was in a bad mood. She should just buy a house and stay home. Why was she wandering around aimlessly?

She was just a doctor who couldn't even kill a chicken, and she didn't know why Gong Jiu insisted on taking her to the island.

That garbage system! If it gave her a powerful martial arts skill, she wouldn't be so controlled by others all the time.

[Host, please do not launch a system attack on me. Not being able to draw the item is due to your bad luck, and has nothing to do with the system.]

[...Shut up!]

Looking at Gong Jiu, who was staring at her, Su Yuanyuan forced a faint smile.

"Since Young Master Jiu has said so, it's not too late to go after we've resupplyed."

Su Yuanyuan saw a bright smile bloom on his face. "Okay, I will definitely treat Miss Su well."

Su Yuanyuan got goosebumps. She thought to herself, "Really, you don't need to. I just hope you get back to normal soon. This is creepy."
