Save my man, why does he always turn out to be the savior?

Chapter 172 The Real World: A Confrontation with the System (Chapter 1)

After dinner, Su Jinyue cleaned up the kitchen, while Fu Cinian went to his study to work.

After tidying up the kitchen, Su Jinyue sat on the sofa in the living room to rest since she had nothing else to do.

In her previous world, which she had just finished, she was a female celebrity in the entertainment industry, always active in the industry, maintaining a pace of releasing one TV series or movie every year.

Although she gained a lot of love and was later called an ageless goddess, working all the time was very tiring.

After returning, Su Jinyue really wanted to rest for a while and didn't want to do anything.

Su Jinyue was lying on the sofa, leisurely scrolling through her phone, when she heard Su Jinshi's door open.

She turned her head and saw Su Jinshi coming out with a book.

"Jinshi, did I disturb you?"

Su Jinshi glanced at her sister, shook her head, and said, "No, I'm going to the study to find my brother-in-law."

Su Jinshi had taken gene-enhancing drugs, and with Su Jinyue's dietary adjustments, his complexion had improved significantly, and he had gained some weight in his face.

Su Jinyue was very satisfied with the results of her feeding, but...

"Hey, I say, weren't you quite resentful of Fu Cinian before? How come you're calling him brother-in-law so naturally now?"

Su Jinyue clearly remembered that when Su Jinshi first learned that she was married, his face was very ugly, as if he had suddenly received a beloved gift, only to have it snatched away by someone else.

Su Jinshi held the book, looking somewhat uneasy. He was only 15 years old and didn't yet know how to hide his emotions.

He said in a haughty yet childish tone, "Sis, you're married now, how can you still be so immature?"

My brother-in-law is a really good person, very knowledgeable. I was just asking him for advice on how to make money, and he taught me a lot..."

Su Jinyue then noticed the book Su Jinshi was holding; the title was "Finance".

How old is he? Can he understand such a profound book?

"Stop bothering Fu Cinian. He's very busy with work. Does he have time for you?"

Su Jinshi was a little indignant when she heard her sister's scolding: "Brother-in-law is very easy to talk to. Besides, I was just asking him a question. I wasn't going to bother him all the time."

Su Jinshi was quite proud of her intelligence. After speaking, she was about to go to the study, but suddenly stopped and advised Su Jinyue: "Sister, brother-in-law has always been very ambitious. In the future, I will follow in his footsteps and strive to become your support."

You don't need to always revolve around me and my brother-in-law. You can do things you enjoy, or go out and have some fun. As for making money, my brother-in-law and I can handle that.

Su Jinyue stared in disbelief at Su Jinshi's departing figure, feeling a sense of relief that her younger brother had grown up, but also a feeling that something was amiss!

In her younger brother's eyes, she had become nothing more than a housewife revolving around him and Fu Cinian?!

Hmph, it's just something I did in secret. I can't tell them, or they'll be scared to death!

How could she possibly let her younger brother look down on her?

Su Jinyue glared at Su Jinshi again, then comfortably lay back down on the sofa.

"System, system, are you still there?"

[Host, I'm here.]

After failing to contact the system last night, Su Jinyue tried to sense it again in her mind today. Only after she found the connection between the system and herself did Su Jinyue feel at ease.

"System, did you awaken by consuming Ruan Bingyu's system? You won't run out of energy again, right?"

[One aspect is that you absorbed the system's energy, and another is that you, host, successfully completed the missions in all three worlds.]

As long as the host completes the mission well in the future, I should be able to stay with the host.

The system, or the Time-Space Mirror, was talking to Su Jinyue in her mind while observing Fu Cinian's actions and expressions on the other side.

The system was relieved to see Fu Cinian talking to Su Jinshi with a normal expression.

Last night, the system felt that Fu Cinian had heard it and was woken up because the host and Fu Cinian were too close.

It seems that even if we're having a conversation within Su Jinyue's sea of ​​consciousness, we'll have to be more careful in the future, lest Fu Cinian discover it...

Knowing that the system would accompany her through all her time travels, Su Jinyue was overjoyed. This way, when she completed her missions in the future, she would have someone to talk to and give her advice.

Most importantly, Su Jinyue's long-standing question can finally be answered by someone—no, by a system.

"System, there's a question I've always wanted to ask you. I've traveled through three worlds so far, and in each world there's someone who looks exactly like Fu Cinian. Are they all Fu Cinian?"

Also, why is he so miserable in every world? And why doesn't he have memories of the other worlds?

【Well, host, all I can say is that they are all part of Fu Cinian. They have no memories because he was just an ordinary person born in the other world.】

As for why he lived such a miserable life...

When answering the last question, Su Jinyue even felt, somewhat absurdly, that the system seemed to be gritting its teeth.

As part of Fu Cinian, even if they were reincarnated into other worlds, their fortune would still be very high. They should have lived a smooth life, but some people couldn't bear to see him doing well and deliberately stole his fortune!

Su Jinyue fell into deep thought. Every person in every world who was exactly like Fu Cinian was a part of Fu Cinian.

Is it a parallel world, reincarnation, or a split soul?

Su Jinyue could sense that Fu Cinian was the person she loved in every world, so the speculation about parallel worlds was unreliable.

The system said that the lack of memories was due to reincarnation. So, is it because Fu Cinian's soul split and he was reincarnated in another world that he lost his previous memories?

"System, has Fu Cinian's soul ever split?"

【…】

The system didn't expect Su Jinyue to have figured out the key to the problem so quickly, but it wasn't the right time yet.

[Host, your current strength is too weak; you are not yet ready to know these things.]

Su Jinyue remained silent. Since the system did not deny it, it was possible.

But what kind of situation would cause a person's soul to split apart?

She had received the inheritance of the cultivation world. Even for immortals, the splitting of the soul is very painful, and the slightest carelessness can lead to the destruction of both body and soul!

So, what exactly did Fu Cinian go through?

Why didn't she know these things?

In every world, he lived a miserable life because someone stole the fortune that should have been his.

"System, does Fu Cinian have some powerful enemy?"

[...] The system fell silent again.

[Host, your strength is too weak right now; it's better that you don't know.]

Su Jinyue felt a heavy weight in her heart; it seemed there really was a powerful enemy.

Moreover, this enemy is very difficult to deal with; every world wants to make things difficult for Fu Cinian!
