"Hehe, Xiang Wan, don't you think this system is especially wise, powerful, and dashing?"
"So, you turned me into a baby just to make your five or six-year-old body look better? Hmm, that's certainly a bit cool, skipping straight past the diaper-wearing stage, I just don't know if you'll lose your baby teeth."
In the dream, Xiang Wan's body was still that of an infant. Only her calm face and sharp tongue infuriated the system.
"Your child is six years old and losing their baby teeth? This system isn't human! Wait, no, this system is a being beyond human comprehension. How can it be compared to an ordinary little brat? It would be beneath this system..."
"Majestic? Sensitive? But speaking of which, I am indeed very curious whether you are male or female, or perhaps..."
Xiang Wan touched her chin with her short little hands, looking like a curious child.
The system's face darkened, it turned its head away, and it said angrily, "This system is an advanced system and cannot be measured by human standards."
"So, you're neither male nor female?"
"You—I'm not talking to you anymore. You're not capable enough, and you're not even smart enough to make up for it. Xiang Wan, this time, you've really gotten yourself into big trouble."
The system's style suddenly changed, and its little face became serious.
To be honest, the child the system transformed into was chubby and pink, with short hair, looking exactly like a cute little boy. However, its childish behavior was somewhat like a little girl's. That's why Xiang Wan deliberately obscured its gender; unexpectedly, it really didn't have a gender.
A genderless system that secretly enjoys collecting pictures and videos of fairies fighting—this little hobby is truly perplexing.
"oh."
Xiang Wan's one-word reply infuriated the system.
"I'm telling you, this system says you're in trouble!"
"oh."
"Can't you have any professionalism at all? This system is telling you, you're in trouble, understand?"
"knew."
Xiang Wan's answer was too simple. The system looked at her with a disappointed expression, as if it was about to grab her by the ears and give her a lecture.
"It concerns your life, aren't you worried?"
"I'm in a hurry, but will it help?"
Xiang Wan moved her little arms and legs, looking helpless.
The system was stunned, with nowhere to vent its anger.
It's in such a hurry, but Xiang Wan doesn't care at all. Who's the host here anyway? It's like the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is.
"I'd like to ask you, how dare you give me such a tiny body?"
"Well, that was a last resort for this system, otherwise..."
"So, who's in trouble, me or you?"
When Xiang Wan asked this question, the system was speechless.
Actually, it was something it did together with its host, but the host doesn't remember it, while it does.
In the previous world, the system never dreamed that its true form would actually appear directly in the escape ship, and later even knock that little brat unconscious and take away its soul. It still remembered the look in that soul's eyes when it turned around and looked at it (her) – sinister and vicious, scaring it so much that it wanted to play dead but didn't dare.
The host forgot about it as soon as she turned her head, or rather, the person erased the host's memory but not itss. It had originally wanted to remind the host, but seeing her like this, it decided not to say anything, lest it frighten the host again.
However, being startled isn't without its benefits; at least it has a concrete image, preventing the host from treating it like a human being all the time.
Sigh, I'm both her father and mother, and I have to keep her secret. Considering the host's soul has shrunk, I'll just let it silently bear it all. Anyway, if she finds out the truth later, she won't bother me.
Having figured everything out, the system swallowed hard and forcefully changed the subject: "Let me tell you, this body of yours is incredibly powerful. The underwater world, huh? Don't you want to see some new and exciting things?"
Knowing the system was unreliable, Xiang Wan didn't expect it to be this unreliable; its ability to deceive people hasn't changed at all. Once exposed, it quickly tries to appease people with other incentives. Xiang Wan was at a loss for words.
"Look at me, what do I look like?" Xiang Wan stood up and spun around in place.
"...A child?" the system asked hesitantly.
"Doesn't it look like a plate of pastries? Like, the kind that's just come out of the oven."
"..."
The system was speechless. In the eyes of those large sea creatures, its host probably wasn't even worthy of being a dish. But it dared not tell the truth, for fear of upsetting its host.
"Wait a minute, I'll send you the plot."
Finally, they got down to business. Xiang Wan closed her eyes and began to receive the plot.
The original owner had an impressive identity: the daughter of the Water Tiger, the strongest overlord on land. A little over a month after her birth, her mother was murdered, and she was then said to be a reincarnated demon. In front of everyone, she was thrown into the sea as a sacrifice, but was rescued by a passing siren and taken to an old clam for its care.
The fact that the original owner of this body could live in the sea despite not being an aquatic creature seemed to be commonplace to all the aquatic beings, who wholeheartedly treated her as a future mate of the Sirens. Unfortunately, these aquatic beings had never raised land creatures before, and they almost killed her in the process. It was only thanks to the Sirens coming to feed her every few days that the original owner was able to grow up safely.
Having spent a long time with aquatic creatures, the original owner initially thought he was one of them, until he accidentally saw terrestrial creatures and then secretly went ashore.
The original owner was able to live on the table and move freely in the water, and before long, he was discovered.
After much back and forth, the Water Tiger recognized her as his daughter again and doted on her immensely. Unexpectedly, he eventually used her to kill all the Sirens and the sea monsters in the aquatic tribe who had raised her.
