Back at the familiar standby space station, Gu Qingqiu found herself sitting in the same spot she had left in, still holding the enormous ostrich egg in her hands, the cracks on the shell becoming more and more obvious.
Gu Qingqiu stroked the eggshell and cleared her throat: "System 057, are you there?"
【exist. 】
"Can I stay here for another hour? And then what? Will you teleport me to the punishment world?"
I said I wouldn't.
"Really?" Gu Qingqiu smiled listlessly. "Do you think I'll see my child born before I leave?"
【have no idea. 】
"Oh," Gu Qingqiu responded indifferently, and then remained silent, her expression inscrutable.
This Gu Qingqiu seemed somewhat unfamiliar. The electrical hum of System 057 kept echoing, but she didn't know what to say.
"An hour has passed, aren't you going to teleport yet?" Gu Qingqiu asked.
Don't you need forget-me-nots?
"No."
[…Transferring in progress.]
Gu Qingqiu's vision went black for a moment, and when she opened her eyes again, she was in an ancient castle, wearing a gorgeous evening gown-like outfit. She walked to the mirror and admired herself for a while: "Ah, so beautiful. System, please send me some background information."
A flood of information rushed into Gu Qingqiu's mind. After a moment, she smiled with interest: "Ah, I'm actually a princess! And there are even dragons in this world! How interesting!"
After a while, a servant knocked on the door: "Princess Qingqiu, you can come down for dinner now."
“Okay.” Gu Qingqiu simply opened the door and followed the maid downstairs to the luxurious dining table.
The king and prince were already seated at the dining table. Upon seeing Gu Qingqiu arrive, the handsome prince politely stood up and pulled out the back of her chair for her.
Gu Qingqiu glanced at the prince's handsome profile and said politely, "Thank you."
The prince nodded, took Gu Qingqiu's hand, and kissed the back of it. "It is my honor to serve you."
This is the male protagonist of this world; he's indeed very handsome.
After Gu Qingqiu took her seat, many more people arrived one after another, all respectfully gesturing to her that the banquet was very lavish. Later, a servant specially brought out a freshly roasted whole lamb, ready to be shared with everyone.
Just then, Gu Qingqiu seemed to notice something, and she stood up: "Everyone, I would like to perform a talent for you."
The clinking of glasses ceased, and all eyes turned to Gu Qingqiu. Wang Ziwei frowned imperceptibly, but remained silent.
The king looked at Gu Qingqiu with displeasure, as if condemning her with his eyes—how could you, as a noble princess, lower yourself to do such a thing?
But Gu Qingqiu completely ignored these gazes, gracefully walked to the cart with the whole roasted lamb, took the sharp cleaver from the servant's hand, and said, "Everyone, watch carefully. I never perform this talent show in public, and I will only perform it once in my life."
The next second, a sharp kitchen knife slashed through Gu Qingqiu's throat, and she collapsed to the ground instantly. In the last second before her eyes closed, she saw the prince's panicked expression and his figure rushing towards her without regard for anything else.
Everything was over, and Gu Qingqiu returned to the standby space station. Sure enough, the angry questioning voice of System 057 echoed in her mind.
What do you mean by this?
"It's not very interesting." Gu Qingqiu shrugged. "I don't really like this world. After all, I'm terrified of monsters. If I really encountered a dragon, I would definitely go crazy. I'm sorry, or you could just teleport me to the next world."
She said sorry, but Gu Qingqiu's tone and expression showed no remorse.
[...]
"Hurry up! Don't we need to rest for an hour? I only stayed in that world for less than an hour, and I even had a meal... um... it was really delicious." Gu Qingqiu urged, "Hurry up! Can you not waste time? Don't you have KPIs to pay?"
[...]
After another bout of darkness, Gu Qingqiu opened her eyes to find herself in a new place, completely naked, soaking in the hot spring water.
"Phew...that feels so good..." Gu Qingqiu stretched her waist comfortably and sighed with pleasure: "Come on, let's teleport to the world background."
A flood of information rushed into my mind again.
"Oh, the world of martial arts. My dad is the leader of the martial arts alliance, I'm so awesome." Gu Qingqiu nodded in satisfaction.
After soaking in the hot spring for half an hour, Gu Qingqiu got up, changed her clothes, and said, "System, where is the male lead now? Buy me a prop."
Seeing that Gu Qingqiu acted naturally, System 057 went along with her idea.
After obtaining the props, Gu Qingqiu successfully knocked on the door of an inn.
With a creak, the door opened, revealing a man dressed as a swordsman in a black outfit.
"Hey handsome." Before the other person could speak, Gu Qingqiu greeted him first and even gave him a flirty wink.
The man was clearly stunned. After all, Gu Qingqiu was a noble and aloof person in this world, yet she would take the initiative to come to him alone and act so... wanton.
"Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?" Gu Qingqiu asked him.
"...Please come in." The man slightly turned his body, looked around warily after Gu Qingqiu entered, and then locked the door.
As soon as Gu Qingqiu entered the room, she turned her back and looked around, acting as if she were the lady of the house.
The man followed closely behind Gu Qingqiu, his doubts undisguised. "Miss Gu, what's wrong... um..."
