What a cunning and despicable man.
Shen Zhiyi wiped away the tears that fell from her face and put the small box away.
Just as I was about to lie down and calm myself down, I was startled by a familiar voice.
Shen Zhiyi froze on the spot. She hadn't expected that she could still hear that voice on Blue Star.
[Oh dear, you were scared stiff just hearing this system's voice?]
The mechanical voice belonging to the system appeared in Shen Zhiyi's ears.
"System?" Shen Zhiyi murmured.
[That's right, it's this system.]
[So? Do you want this system?]
Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and retorted directly, "Miss you? Why should I miss you? You weren't like this when you were torturing me in the survival world."
【What nonsense are you spouting? When has this system ever tormented you?】
The system doesn't acknowledge the past when it made things difficult for her; that's all in the past, why bring it up again? Anyway, it won't admit it.
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyi rolled her eyes. "System, put your hand on your heart and think about it. Have you really never done anything like this before?"
[Please hold on a little, this system has no conscience.]
"..." Shen Zhiyi had a lot to say but couldn't express it in words.
Fox Moon woke up groggily and looked at Shen Zhiyi. When her gaze fell on the tear stains on Shen Zhiyi's face that she hadn't wiped away, she immediately became alert.
"Yiyi? Why are you crying?" Fox Moon quickly transformed into human form and reached out to wipe away Shen Zhiyi's tears that had not yet dried.
Shen Zhiyi shook her head. "I'm fine."
Fox Moon didn't believe it; she didn't think Shen Zhiyi was really alright.
"Is it because of the things Nalan Zhao asked Chen Peng to send over?" Fox Moon pondered for a moment and instantly realized the key to the matter.
Shen Zhiyi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
【Hey, can you guys please take care of this system?】
[This system went through so much trouble to find its way here, and you're just ignoring it like this?]
"Wait a minute, do I feel like I'm hallucinating?" Fox Moon frowned and looked around. "Otherwise, why do I feel like I heard that system's voice?"
[What auditory hallucination? Can't you be a little more confident? It's this system.]
Fox Moon's eyes widened in horror, as if she had seen a ghost. "Holy crap, no way? Surviving in the survival world is one thing, but surviving on Earth too?"
Fox Moon said no, she had been living a comfortable life since coming to Blue Star with Shen Zhiyi, and she had no desire to continue struggling to survive.
What nonsense are you spouting? Can't this system just come to check on you guys?
The system was somewhat exasperated and very dissatisfied with what Fox Moon had said.
Shen Zhiyi was amused by their conversation and said, "Alright, alright, you two stop bickering."
"System, tell me, how did you end up on Earth? I don't believe you would come all the way from the Survival World to see us."
Black Wolf and Dried Fish, who were nearby, were also awakened by their commotion and are now listening by the bedside.
At this point, the system suddenly hesitated.
Oh, this, well, it's just... how should I put it? This thing.
The system stammered and couldn't give a clear answer.
Shen Zhiyi blinked and exchanged a glance with Hu Yue. "System, what exactly do you want to say? Just say it directly. We're old acquaintances anyway."
[Then, shall this system just be direct?]
Shen Zhiyi nodded.
It's that one...
Upon hearing this opening, Shen Zhiyi couldn't take it anymore and interrupted the system, "Get to the point!"
The system chuckled twice and rearranged its language.
[This system wants to ask you: Are you willing to return to the survival world?]
"?" Shen Zhiyi's mind suddenly went blank, and she couldn't hear anything for a moment.
She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
The system said it came to Earth to ask her if she wanted to return to the survival world.
She never expected that the system's reappearance would give her such a big surprise.
After a long silence, Shen Zhiyi spoke in a trembling voice, "Really, is it possible to return to the survival world?"
Of course! When has this system ever lied?
"But... is it really possible?" Shen Zhiyi was still a little hesitant to believe it.
Do you trust this system?
The system paused for a moment, then spoke anxiously.
Are you willing to go back with this system or not? Give me a straight answer, okay?
Before this, Shen Zhiyi really wanted to see Nalan Zhao again, but when the moment actually came, she thought of many other things.
Even if she can return to the survival world, what then? After meeting Nalan Zhao, will she stay in the survival world or return to Earth?
Or perhaps, there's no way to return from the survival world?
And she's still waiting, waiting for Qi Jing to come home. She and Qi Jing had agreed that she would wait for him to come home from Blue Star.
Don't worry, this system can grant you a small privilege, allowing you to freely travel between Earth and the Survival World.
Shen Zhiyi froze again, somewhat unable to believe what she was hearing. "What did you say?"
Being young is great; you go deaf right away.
Shen Zhiyi remained silent; she wasn't angry at the system's sarcastic remarks.
Fox Moon, who was standing to the side, was also startled by what the system said. After realizing what had happened, she quickly shook Shen Zhiyi's arm.
"Yiyi, hurry up and say yes! Don't you want Nalan Zhao?"
[Exactly, exactly! Don't you miss her? This system can tell she misses you a lot.]
The system was fanning the flames from the sidelines.
It came with a mission this time; it had to bring Shen Zhiyi back no matter what.
Shen Zhiyi looked at Hu Yue, unsure of what to say for a moment.
"Let me think about it." Shen Zhiyi did not agree immediately.
The system originally wanted to say something more, but after thinking for a moment, it changed its approach.
Alright then, this system will wait for you for one day. Remember to give this system your answer tomorrow.
Shen Zhiyi nodded in agreement.
The mechanical noise from the system disappeared.
"Yiyi, why don't you just agree?" Fox Moon couldn't quite understand Shen Zhiyi's actions.
Fox Moon was born to be alone and didn't consider things comprehensively. In her mind, one should enjoy life while one can, regardless of what might happen later, at least being happy now.
Shen Zhiyi touched Hu Yue's fox ears, "Because Qi Jing hasn't come back yet, Brother Peng is still at our house."
"Many things need to be thought through carefully; you can't just agree to something without thinking about yourself."
Now that she had calmed down, she had even more thoughts on things.
Fox Moon blinked, then nodded as if she understood. "So, what are you planning to say to the system tomorrow?"
"Let me think about it some more, I don't know right now."
