Chapter 3
"Transfer to Artificial Intelligence." Dragon Island, arrived.
"Um."
Longyan tapped the chair with his tail, gesturing for Shen Shuan to sit down.
Shen Shuan obediently sat down and looked up at the Dragon Rock above.
"I ask you, and you answer truthfully."
"Okay, senior."
"Why are you, a mere dragon, alone in the Holy Bright Sect? Where are your parents?"
Shen Shu'an smiled and blinked her big eyes: "Senior, I am a human."
"My parents are human, and I am human too."
"I'm really human!"
After Shen Shu'an finished speaking, the air in the main hall became extremely quiet.
The girl and the dragon continued to stare at each other, the girl's eyes filled with utmost sincerity, even sparkling with light.
Long Yan: "..."
Why is this child so stubborn?
That temper of hers is just like the little prince on Dragon Island.
But looking into Shen Shu'an's extremely sincere eyes, Long Yan couldn't help but begin to doubt himself.
So he released his divine sense again and carefully scanned the girl below.
If he really got it wrong, wouldn't he become a laughing stock?
Wouldn't that old man in the Holy Bright Sect laugh him to death?
But when he scanned the area with his divine sense, he only saw that the dragon's essence on the girl's chest below was becoming increasingly bright.
Although small, it radiates an undeniable light, its aura extremely pure.
Long Yan: "?"
Long Yan was speechless for a moment, then looked at Shen Shu'an with sympathy and said:
"Although you have a human body, the dragon essence within you cannot deceive the dragons."
Long Yan gently raised his head, inwardly sighing, "Even my friend's grandson's dragon essence isn't as brilliant as yours!"
Such a pure aura, what else could it be but a dragon?
Shen Shu'an: "???"
I don't know why, but I still feel offended by that look in my eyes again.
Shen Shu'an asked, puzzled, "Senior, may I ask what the origin of the dragon race is?"
Long Yan frowned, his brow furrowing, and sighed softly, "You'll know when you get to Dragon Island."
"Furthermore, according to you, you were raised by humans from birth."
"It must have been lost when it was still a dragon egg!"
As he spoke, Long Yan said with exasperation, "What incompetent parents, incompetent grandparents, utterly incompetent!"
Shen Shu'an: "?"
For some reason, in the short half-day since I transmigrated, I have had an unusually large number of questions.
Senior, what exactly are you imagining?
"However, why were there no inherited memories? That is a question."
Thinking of this, Long Yan looked troubled, his head itching.
He lowered his head and moved closer to Shen Shu'an.
A pair of golden eyes, almost the size of Shen Shu'an, stared at Shen Shu'an with a probing gaze.
Shen Shu'an met his gaze for one second, two seconds, three seconds... She blinked and said, "Senior, your eyes are so big."
Long Yan: "?"
Wait, is there something wrong with this kid?
However, he remained unfazed even when facing a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator, still displaying some of the demeanor of a dragon.
Thinking it over, Long Yan immediately curled his tail and grabbed Shen Shu'an.
"No, I have to take you back to Dragon Island immediately so that the dragon, who specializes in medicine, can see what's wrong with you."
"If we're sick, we need to get treatment; if we delay, it will become a big problem."
……
On the way to Dragon Island, Shen Shu'an's treatment was upgraded.
She was protected in the dragon's claws, no longer exposed to the cold wind or her hair slapping her face.
There's even a warm cushion under your bottom, making it very comfortable to sit on.
Throughout the journey, the system's notification sounds never stopped.
[Ding! Mood value +1, Mood value +5...]
Gradually, Shen Shuan has collected nearly one hundred emotion points.
Most of the contributions came from her older sister, the female lead, Shen Wanqiu.
Shen Shu'an was deeply moved: "Sister, you're so kind!"
For the first 17 years of this body's life, the system took over using her memories and personality.
For Shen Shu'an, wasn't that herself?
This tiny, intelligent AI can't possibly disturb her Dao heart.
Watching her emotions continue to rise, Shen Shu'an silently decided, "From now on, I must urge my sister to cultivate more, so that she doesn't end up like she did in the original book, not having ascended for three hundred years."
After sighing, Shen Shu'an said to the system in her mind, "System, it's all your fault!"
Shen Shu'an said with heartache, "Look how worried my sister is about me now!"
"Quickly, help me send a message to my sister, telling her not to rush to save me, but to focus on her cultivation first!!"
[Host, isn't the second sentence your real purpose?]
[And host, your points are currently zero, so the system cannot send a message to the female lead.]
Shen Shu'an was stunned, then utterly disappointed: "What? System, is this all you're capable of?"
【…Host, what do you mean? Please don't insult the system to its face.】
Shen Shu'an was taken aback, her face showing innocence: "Where did I do that?"
"Alright."
Shen Shu'an had no choice but to change the subject, "System, let me ask you, what exactly is the origin of the dragon race?"
[Host, this is a gift you possess.]
"So, am I human or dragon?"
[Host, you are not a dragon, yet you are a dragon.]
Shen Shu'an: "?"
She frowned and pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Switch to manual transfer."
【…】
"Didn't you hear me? I said to switch to human operator!"
[Host, literally.]
"What do you mean?"
Shen Shu'an was furious. She never expected that even after transmigrating into a book, she would still encounter the riddle system.
But before she could properly discuss the system theory, she felt a sudden dizziness.
It was Long Yan who, with Shen Shu'an's help, used a secret technique to finally return to Dragon Island.
We've arrived at Dragon Island.
Shen Shuan forced herself to suppress her nausea and looked up at the island that was suspended thousands of miles above the sky not far away.
Rather than an 'island,' it's more like a small continent, stretching as far as the eye can see.
Above, clouds and mist swirled, resembling celestial energy. From time to time, fluctuations from the array could be heard, and a dazzling crystal wall of magical energy would briefly appear on the outer edge.
Most importantly, not far from Dragon Rock, several dragons were hidden in the clouds, with only part of their bodies showing.
"roar!"
Before even setting foot on the island, Longyan eagerly raised its head high and let out a long cry.
It means: "Everyone, I, Longyan, am back, and I've brought back a new cub!"
Longyan tapped the chair with his tail, gesturing for Shen Shuan to sit down.
Shen Shuan obediently sat down and looked up at the Dragon Rock above.
"I ask you, and you answer truthfully."
"Okay, senior."
"Why are you, a mere dragon, alone in the Holy Bright Sect? Where are your parents?"
