Chapter 57: System Return
Shen Yuan, Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong were all sitting on the ship as it was traveling back toward the mansion.
They were sitting on a table in one of the rooms, which was decorated simply with only the necessary furniture and a large bed.
Huo Rong and Bing Rong looked like they wanted to ask something, but were hesitating. Shen Yuan looked towards them and smiled slightly, "What do you want to ask me? Just ask. I will answer no matter what."
Huo Rong and Bing Rong looked at each other for a moment, Huo Rong took a deep breath and asked tentatively, "How do you feel about the death of Han Ming, Yuan'er?" She asked it lightly as if afraid to hurt him further.
Shen Yuan got silent as he contemplated for a bit as if looking for an answer, "He wouldn't have died if I didn't hesitate back then. It was my mistake that he died, I am responsible for his death, and I will make up with him, either by looking for his relatives or will finding his reincarnation to recover his memories."
All three ladies in the room nodded their heads in approval, their eyes filled with pride at his mature response. He wasn't whining but actively looking for a solution to what mistake he made.
He also learned to kill and not be affected afterward. Shen Yuan got silent after replying to them, staring silently at the window, contemplating something.
After a while, Bing Rong asked him in confusion, "But how will you look for his reincarnation? I don't think you can do that. I haven't heard about anything like that."
Shen Yuan smiled a bit as he replied, "I already consulted with the system about that, it said that I can find him as long as I'm strong enough, so I have one other goal to look forward to."
Their eyes lit up as Shen Yuxin asked, "Your system is back online? What new things can it do? Oh yeah, you haven't told us the name of the system yet."
Shen Yuxin rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment as he was about to say something, but the system suddenly spoke up at this time.
Its voice resounded in the room so all of them could hear it.
[Greetings, I am The Primordial Harem System. I derived my identity from the host's extreme desire during his awakening ceremony to make the ultimate harem for himself. The recent upgrade has also lifted a lot of my restrictions and I can express myself more freely now.]
The system's voice was no longer robotic and monotonous, instead, it was the voice of an Enchantress, filled with charm and seductiveness. But there was a strange power in her voice, almost making the group of people in the room fall into an illusion of a limitless field of cherry blossoms.
Shen Yuan's eyes widened in surprise as he asked, "Why did your voice change so much? And since when did you become so chatty?"
Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong looked at Shen Yuan in confusion, as if asking, 'This was the almighty being you were talking about?'
Shen Yuan wasn't even able to react to the system revealing his desires during the awakening ritual as he was so shocked by the revelation of the system's new identity.
[I wasn't even awake for the past 18 years, dear host. I just woke up when you turned 18. And I was always this chatty, it's just that you were talking with my unconscious mind, that's why it felt that you were talking with a…hmm…you call them a robot, yeah that's the word robot.]
Shen Yuan was shocked and speechless at the system's answer, he wasn't expecting the system to be sleeping all this while and he was only talking with its subconscious.
[Ah, and if you didn't know, I am female as well, though I can't manifest my physical body here due to the world's limitations so you will have to wait to see my sexy figure.]
Shen Yuan could almost see the system winking at him, he felt his eyes twitch as he forced himself to calm down. He looked at his family, just to see their awaked and confused faces, not knowing how to handle this situation.
Shen Yuan asked the system, "Then how should we address you? We can't keep calling you System right?"
[Hmmmm, then I will be called Yue Lan from now on.]
Shen Yuan raised his eyebrow slightly as he asked in a curious tone, "How did you come up with that name?"
[Don't focus on it too much, it was random. Anyways, let's introduce ourselves again.]
Yue Lan paused for a moment to gather their attention,
[My name is Yue Lan, and I am the partner and closest companion of Shen Yuan, his Primordial Harem System.]
She declared it proudly but Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong felt a vein pop up on their head when they heard Yue Lan shamelessly proclaiming herself to be Shen Yuan's closest companion.
Shen Yuxin spoke first with a smile that didn't look much of a smile, "I think you might be misunderstanding something here, Shen Yuan's closest companion is me. His Mother who has taken care of him since young and even breastfed him." Shen Yuxin declared without a hint of shame in her voice.
But Shen Yuan felt his cheeks turning red as he felt secondhand embarrassment for his mother who didn't mince her words a bit.
Huo Rong and Bing Rong could only admit their defeat as they didn't have to courage to compete with their master.
Contrary to their expectations, Yue Lan didn't get angry but giggled slightly as she spoke,
[Oh my~ quite the protective one you are. But worry not because I'm here to make him the strongest harem, not to keep him for myself. And it will only be beneficial for him to have a harem. Or else his Physique's potential will be wasted in this plane.]
All four of them felt their brain stopping as the information that Yue Lan just revealed was too much for them to take at once. Shen Yuxin was the first one to recover as she asked hurriedly, "Do you know which physique Shen Yuan has? And what effects will it have on him?"
