The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator

Seeing that the three of them were standing steadily on the deck, Su Yuanyuan jumped up.

"Boatman, let's set sail."

"Alright, young master."

The boatman responded and shouted "Let's go!" to the back, and the passenger ship slowly left the ferry dock.

Zhu Yingtai gripped the fan tightly with both hands and asked Su Yuanyuan uncertainly.

"We're out already? Are you really alright?"

Su Yuanyuan gave her a speechless sidelong glance. "What are you saying now? Should I take you back again?"

She shook her head vigorously, "No, no, I'm not going back."

Su Yuanyuan chuckled and pushed her into the cabin.

"Let's go, don't think too much, it's late, go to sleep first."

She pushed Zhu Yingtai along very quickly. During this time, a scholar passed by, but Su Yuanyuan didn't even glance at him. Zhu Yingtai, who was also watching her step carefully, didn't see him either.

Yin Xin and Yin Ping each carried two packages on their backs and jogged behind. Yin Xin was already panting because she was not used to exercise.

"Young master, slow down, wait for us."

"Yinxin, you should run more. Look at Yinping, she's not even out of breath."

Su Yuanyuan glanced at her, her tone full of disdain.

Yin Xin wanted to stomp her foot, but then remembered that she was now a man, so she quickly stood up straight.

"Tenth Young Master, my young master is just like me, why are you talking about me like that?"

"She has me to protect her, do you?"

Su Yuanyuan spoke with righteous indignation. Although she would bully Zhu Yingtai sometimes, it was only her who bullied him.

Seeing that Yin Xin looked so wronged and was about to cry, Zhu Yingtai pulled her behind her.

"Xiao Shi, stop talking."

Su Yuanyuan pursed her lips and stopped talking. She didn't want to make Yin Xin cry either, and she hadn't said anything, so why be dramatic?

"Alright, take a rest now, we'll be there soon."

Zhu Yingtai pushed her into the room, and then took Yin Xin into another room.

Yinping followed her in, and had already poured her tea and taken a bag of pastries from her bag and placed it on the table.

When did you prepare the snacks?

Su Yuanyuan picked up a pastry and took a bite; it wasn't there when she checked this morning.

Yinping smiled with her lips pursed, "I took this from the kitchen when Young Master went out this afternoon. I also prepared a portion for Ninth Young Master."

Su Yuanyuan nodded approvingly, "It's well made, you should eat some too."

She handed one to Yinping as well, and seeing that Yinping had taken it, she didn't pay any more attention. Su Yuanyuan ate two pieces and then stopped eating; she wasn't that hungry.

Just then, the sound of arguing came from outside. Su Yuanyuan didn't want to pay attention, but she was also afraid that Zhu Yingtai would meddle.

"Yinping, go tell Ninth Brother not to pay attention to the commotion outside and to stay in the room."

"Okay, son."

Yinping responded, opened the door, and quickly went out. She returned shortly afterward.

"What did Ninth Brother say?"

"The Ninth Young Master only said he understood."

After Yinping finished speaking, she walked to the edge of the couch and looked at it; it was fairly clean.

"Young master, would you like to lie down for a bit? I heard from the boatman that it's dark and hard to find the way, and we won't arrive until tomorrow morning."

Is this boatman a novice? Shangyu is not far from Hangzhou, and it's only a short distance, yet we won't arrive until tomorrow morning.

Su Yuanyuan sighed at Master Zhu's unreliability, wondering what kind of passenger ship he had chosen.

"Alright, let's lie down on the tatami together for a while, otherwise you won't be able to stand it."

The two of them lay on the couch fully clothed. Fortunately, it was big enough that they didn't feel cramped.

【Host! ! 】

Su Yuanyuan was lying on her side inside, half asleep, when a thunderclap rang in her mind, startling her awake. Yinping was also startled and quickly sat up.

"Young master, what's wrong?"

She shook her head, rubbing her forehead with one hand. "It's nothing, I was just startled in my groggy state. Go to sleep."

Yinping touched her forehead with concern. "Are you really alright? Let's see a doctor tomorrow after we get ashore."

"It's okay, go to sleep."

Su Yuanyuan pressed her down onto the couch and closed her eyes as well.

Are you trying to scare me to death so you can find a new host?

The system had been inactive for a long time. To be honest, she was really scared just now. It disappeared without warning and came back to scare her to death.

[I'm...I'm sorry, host...I didn't mean to, it's just that I haven't talked to you in a long time, and I missed you a bit, so I got excited.]

Su Yuanyuan hadn't noticed it before, but now that the system was talking more, she realized that it was finally back to normal.

What were you doing before?

[Host!! Didn't you notice I'm talking normally?! I'm going to upgrade, big upgrade!]

The system's voice sounded happy, and Su Yuanyuan didn't react to its sudden disappearance.

Whether she has a system or not makes little difference to her, since the system wasn't going to start talking anyway.

[Hmm, what was upgraded?]

[Host, host, we can go to worlds with superpowers, magic, and cultivation abilities from now on! Aren't you excited?!]

Su Yuanyuan's eyelids twitched. Who wants to go to these worlds!

What's there to be happy about? It means the world will be dangerous from now on.

[Don't be afraid, host, I will protect you!]

How would you protect him?

[I can now activate my protective shield; no damage can touch you.]

Oh! That's pretty impressive.

The system remained silent for a long time, and just when Su Yuanyuan thought it would not speak again, it spoke again.

[Host...don't you trust me?]

The system asked the questions cautiously, and it was noticeably more human-like than before; you could even tell she was being perfunctory.

Su Yuanyuan didn't want to answer at first, but then she thought that she didn't need to argue with a system; it was just a program.

But now that its emotions were so obvious, Su Yuanyuan wanted to say something.

Before you gained sentience, I was always alone. Just when I had gotten used to it and felt that I could manage on my own, you appeared.

To be honest, even though you're always unreliable, I'm still happy because at least I have someone to keep me company. But then you disappeared without a word for almost ten years.

After I got used to being alone again, you suddenly reappeared. System, thank goodness you're not human, otherwise you'd definitely be a jerk.

[Waaaaah~ Host, I was wrong. Please don't abandon me. I've always been one with you. I can always see you, but I can't speak and I can't respond to you.]

There was a limited number of slots for this upgrade, and I was afraid I wouldn't be selected, so I didn't tell you. I was planning to tell you after I was selected, but as soon as I was selected, my computer was forcibly shut down, and I didn't have any time to react.

I only thought about upgrading because I felt useless. I really didn't know it would turn out like this. I'm sorry, host, please forgive me. It will definitely not happen again.

Su Yuanyuan's lips twitched. "Isn't she already better? Why is she still crying?"

[Waaaaah~ Even the host doesn't want me anymore, and won't even let me cry!!]

Su Yuanyuan sighed inwardly. It had already said that they were one, how could she possibly abandon it?

Don't cry. I was just venting because I'd been holding it in for so long. I didn't mean I didn't want you.

【real!?】
