The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 865: Vying for Favor, Little Threads
Ji You paused: Fourth?
Before he could feel surprised, Ji You just lifted his foot and suddenly felt a vibration underfoot, something was trying hard to push up, and then, Fourth’s voice became clearer, more penetrating, and... more arrogant.
[Who? Who? Who? Who dares to step on your Fourth Master’s face?]
Wow~
Fourth straightened its spine, its entire body swelled several circles in the blink of an eye, it exerted force and swung its tail over fiercely, just about to hit Ji You, when suddenly—
Ji You’s just raised foot stepped back down.
Crunch~
Fourth: [Ow! Ow! Ow!]
Clatter~ Fourth’s newly swollen body suddenly lost control and rapidly shrank, shrank...
Fourth: [Who! Who! Who?]
Its vulnerable spot was stepped on accurately, Fourth shouted anxiously: [Which shameless thief dares to ambush? Come on, challenge your Fourth Master one-on-one!]
Ji You: "Hmm?"
Fourth: [!!!]
Grinding its teeth, wishing to confront heaven and earth, Fourth instantly transformed into the weak little Sisi: [Master... Fourth really likes Master, Master, why did you come in without telling Fourth? Fourth thought Boss was ambushing Fourth again.]
Ji You frowned, expressionless: "I wouldn’t dare talk to Fourth Master, after all, Fourth Master is so impressive, how could I, a shameless thief, dare to be impudent in front of Fourth Master?"
Fourth: [...]
Fourth shuddered, immediately flashing a fawning smile: [Fourth is Master, but Master is Master Master Master... Master!]
Ji You: "I wouldn’t dare."
Is the Master angry?
Fourth tilted its head, wagged its tail, suddenly wrapped its tail around itself, curled into a ball, wailed: [Ow~ so... hurt hurt hurt...]
Ji You was surprised and quickly released the foot stepping on Fourth’s vulnerable spot, seeing it successfully escape, Fourth originally intended to run away immediately but suddenly remembered something, flipped over, rolled to the side, continued curling up, trembling—
[Hurts~]
[Ow~]
[Hurts~]
...
The sound was truly miserable, even though Ji You suspected a trick, seeing Fourth crying in pain, breathless, trembling continuously, Ji You couldn’t resist going over, quickly asked: "What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?"
[Heart hurts~] Fourth kept rolling, its entire body rapidly shrinking, gradually, becoming less than a palm-sized small ball: [Ow~]
Ji You frowned, could it be that he exerted too much force earlier? The Spiritual Silk couldn’t bear this damage? Or did the inspection equipment have an adverse impact on the Spiritual Silk?
Ji You hurriedly crouched down, lifted the ball-shaped Fourth.
Seeing the Master personally picking it up, Fourth immediately climbed the pole, its tail shaking happily, in a blink, it wrapped its entire silk around Ji You’s finger.
Settle down.
Move in.
Instantly in place, Fourth happily wagged the tip of its tail, its head affectionately rubbed against Ji You’s fingertip: [With Master here, Fourth doesn’t hurt anymore~]
Ji You: "..."
Look at this agile posture, listen to this joyful tone, Ji You’s expression was very serious: This doesn’t look like it’s in pain at all.
Fourth eyed Ji You, seeing the wrong expression, it immediately put more effort into rubbing its head, rubbing and rubbing, Fourth acted spoiled: [Fourth likes Master the most~]
Ji You kept a straight face.
Silent.
Serious.
...
It broke instantly, indeed couldn’t withstand it, Ji You lifted his hand, rubbed Fourth’s head, lips curving into a smile: "Hmm. Very good."
Fourth: [!!!]
Fourth’s tail nearly reached the sky.
Then—
Ji You asked: "Where are the other strands?"
As soon as he said this, Ji You heard a rumbling sound.
Clatter~
Clatter~
Clatter~
This pitch-black space began to shake, like a landslide, rumbling...
Suddenly, a light appeared.
A second light.
A third light.
...
In an instant, the darkness shrouding the space vanished, Ji You felt as if the black cloth that had been covering his view was suddenly lifted, light appearing suddenly.
Ji You then saw a terrifying shadow large enough to cover the entire sky, rapidly shrinking, 1 meter, 2 meters, 3 meters... very quickly, it shrank into a filiform object about 10 inches in diameter.
Ji You looked closely: "Boss?"
Boss rushed over anxiously, knocked away Fourth entwined on Ji You’s finger, then its entire silk wound down along Ji You’s fingers, before Ji You could react, it occupied Ji You’s arm.
Boss: [Ow—Master!!!]
Ji You: "..."
Boss, indeed, was extremely domineering.
Knocked flying, Fourth spun dizzily, it didn’t have time to get angry, quickly flew to Ji You’s other elbow, tried to preemptively occupy this territory, but suddenly, two more figures rushed over!
Second, Third.
Second, Third, acting completely unreasonably, extended their tails and swept at Fourth, Fourth seeing this: [Whoa! Treacherous! They joined forces...]
Unable to win a fight, Fourth immediately abandoned the idea, its tail deftly reached up, hurriedly hooked onto one of Master’s hairs, and, in a swoosh, leaped to Ji You’s head.
Old Five, Sixth were slower, but quickly rushed over too, only, Master’s arms were occupied, and Fourth occupied the head too, Old Five and Sixth didn’t hesitate, quickly moved to Ji You’s legs, left and right, wrapped around his legs.
Ji You: "..."
All this happened rather quickly, Ji You was a bit stunned: [Silly silks, are you competing for favor?]
Six strands, each took hold of a rare opportunity, affectionately wrapping around Ji You’s hands and feet, crying out, tails wagging excitedly, then there was no time for sentiment, Ji You felt something strange on top of his head, as if one strand sitting there was secretly doing something, occasionally jumping... bouncing...
Stealthily stepping on him?
Recalling Fourth often secretly perched on top of Old Five, wasn’t this exactly the same?
Ji You’s face darkened: "Fourth."
Fourth shuddered, immediately stopped all movements, dumbly responding: [Master! Fourth is here, please feel free to command.] 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Ji You: "Get down from Master Ji You’s head."
Fourth: [...]
[Okay! Fourth is the most obedient silk in the whole universe.] Fourth was a bit reluctant but complied, it moved slowly, reluctantly shifting down, moved and stopped beside Ji You’s ear without moving further.
Fourth immediately curled up, wrapped around the ear.
—Fourth Master must occupy the highest position!
