The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 867: Inspection

A strand hung on her ear, a thick strand wrapped around her right hand like a cane, two strands wrapped around her left hand, two strands on each leg. Ji You maintained a composed face with a calm expression.

Then.

She took a step.

As she moved forward, the full view of her Spirit Space gradually revealed itself to Ji You. Here, it looked empty and vast, without any barriers.

Walking.

Walking.

Ji You suddenly stopped because she arrived at a very small Light Ball.

This Light Ball had a shape similar to a sphere, its body was pitch black, yet inside, strands of light constantly emitted.

Is this?

Ji You’s expression was serious as she asked, "Is this my Spirit Core?"

Actually, no need to ask; she already knew the answer.

This is the Spirit Core, the most important place in the Spirit Space. Once shattered, the entire Spirit Space crumbles.

Boss: [This is where I sleep.]

Second, Third: [Sleeping.]

Fourth: [Tired, just lying here for a bit feels great!]

Old Five: [Yup, this is where we sleep.]

Sixth: [Sleep! Sleep!]

Ji You already understood. She then continued walking forward. This road was long, very long, not knowing how long she walked. When Dang Jiyou reached a thin fog, she found she couldn’t walk further. The road ahead seemed blocked, although the world behind the fog was near, she couldn’t step over it no matter what.

Ji You knew this was the barrier of the Spirit Space, so she stopped and looked up to observe.

Behind the thin fog was also a void space. Close up, it seemed no different from the space Ji You was in; further away was veiled by a thin mist that grew thicker...

The further back, completely shrouded by mist, with no way to glimpse anything.

Ji You frowned and started to contemplate:

The world behind the fog is actually also her Spiritual World. However, restricted by her low Spiritual Level, the world behind the fog is temporarily out of reach...

But—

What use is there to a vast Spiritual World?

After drinking some Cloud Mist Tea several times, Ji You’s spiritual power has not improved, only expanded the Spirit Space slightly, perhaps this slight expansion is too weak. Ji You felt no significant change during battle or material crafting.

...

Ji You kept a calm face and said nothing. On Ji You, the surface of the Six Strands appeared harmonious, but behind the scenes, there had already been countless confrontations for the master’s favor and attention.

For instance, Boss straightened its head, almost reaching Ji You’s eyelashes, aiming for the master’s immediate sight.

Second and Third were not satisfied with falling behind, but as soon as they moved, Boss would swipe them away with its tail. Helpless, the two strands, always loyal to Boss, immediately started a rebellion, teaming up to overthrow Boss...

During Boss, Second, and Third’s struggle, Old Five and Sixth were not idle. Both strands silently climbed up with the goal of occupying the master’s shoulders, only to be joinedly swatted away by Boss, Second, and Third!

Swatted away Old Five and Sixth grabbed opportunities to climb again the next second.

Boss, Second, and Third swatted them away again.

...

Cycle repeats.

Fourth shrank into a fingernail-sized ring, hiding inside the master’s ear canal, resting its head on the master’s auricle, exuding a taste of peace and tranquility.

At that moment—

Fourth: [Fourth Master isn’t playing with a bunch of fools below!]

Suddenly, Ji You opened her mouth, causing her ear to move slightly, Fourth noticed and immediately perked up, obediently: [Master, if you have any orders, don’t hesitate to command Fourth!] 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Ji You: "I’m broke."

Fourth: [Money doesn’t matter, just give some Candy Beans.]

Ji You: "I don’t have Candy Beans."

Fourth listened, feeling a bit conflicted: [Then, can you owe it first?]

Ji You frowned: "You also want to be your master’s creditor?"

The master’s creditors are already numerous. A strand wants to join in the fun?

Fourth turned its head, seemingly considering how to respond, Ji You raised her hand and held the small object from her ear: "Fourth, tell me how to break the barrier in front?"

Fourth: [Sisi doesn’t know~]

Ji You frowned: "Be honest, or else the remaining 25 Candy Beans will be gone."

Fourth: [... ]

Other Strands: [... ]

Fourth shook its tail, trembling and trembling, rewrapped itself around Ji You’s fingertip, its head kept spinning: [Master, you shouldn’t do things like silencing or killing the strands. Sisis are so cute; how can you treat us this way?]

Ji You dragged out the tone: "Sisis are so cute, let’s kill a few more times."

Fourth: [... ]

Before Fourth could speak, Old Five on the foot spoke honestly: [Master, it’s not the right time to break it yet.]

Ji You: "Not the time? Then when is the time?"

Old Five emphatically nodded, Sixth rushed to answer: [Master, the barrier is not thin enough yet, so it can’t be broken, even if we jointly use the power of Six Strands to forcefully break it; it can’t be broken.]

This statement carries a sense of certainty.

Ji You asked: "So, if I want to break this barrier, even all future barriers, would you need to do it for me?"

Sixth had a slightly confused and unsure expression: [Probably, all previous barriers were broken by us together.]

Boss was not in the mood to secretly fight with Second and Third to consolidate its position; it flicked its tail and added: [It’s true, it’s up to us to break it, Master gives us lots of Candy Beans and lots of Soul Devices; we’ll have the strength.]

Ji You raised her hand, stroked Boss’s head, then pulled away the head that was about to stick to her cheek: "I see, it’s as I expected."

Then.

Ji You didn’t have time to catch her breath, and Six Strands all looked at her: [Master, when will you give us lots and lots of Candy Beans?]

Ji You: "..."

Ji You: "This question is a bit complex, next one."

Six Strands: [Master, when will you give us lots and lots of Soul Devices?]

Ji You: "..."

Ji You couldn’t gather a cover-up, and straightforwardly said: "Can’t hear you, next."

Six Strands: [...]

Looking at the dense mist behind the barrier, Ji You suddenly asked: "Where’s Iron?"
