The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 946: Cane

Ji You stared with wide eyes, "Usually you all act like cowards, but now, knowing there’s danger ahead, you still don’t care for your lives?"

"Ahem..." Shen Changqing, originally with a heavy expression, coughed lightly after hearing Ji You’s words, his furrowed brow slightly relaxed, and said, "It’s not necessarily that severe."

Ji You said, "Not necessarily means it’s not 100% certain. So, should we retreat now?"

Yue Qiyuan asked, "Retreat to where?"

Here there’s no village ahead, nor any shop behind, such an awkward distance, even turning back isn’t easy, and there’s a possibility of encountering unexpected dangers along the way.

Once Yue Qiyuan raised this issue, everyone hung their heads, deep in thought. Shen Changqing stared closely at the navigation map, constantly pondering the best docking point.

Beside them, Yue Qiguang said, "What retreat? Charge forward, I simply don’t believe we’ll be that unlucky!"

"Ahem..."

"Ahem..."

"Ahem..."

Instantly, a series of vigorous coughs erupted, everyone glared at Yue Qiguang, wishing they could turn his face into a pig face!

Since just now, Liu Fufeng hadn’t said a word, he lifted his head, glanced at Yue Qiguang, his delicate, pretty face showed an indescribable expression, then Liu Fufeng said, "Yue Qiguang, please don’t speak again, I... I’m scared."

Yue Qiguang, hearing this, was a bit speechless and was about to say something to clear his name when he saw Liu Fufeng, who had just spoken, match his gaze, and his body suddenly shivered, followed by swaying as if he was genuinely frightened, almost falling onto Ji You nearby, but Ji You slightly leaned aside to avoid it, and in that instant, pulled out her Big Chopper, using the flat of the blade to support Liu Fufeng.

Liu Fufeng: "..."

Seeing this, Yue Qiguang’s tense heartstrings finally relaxed: [Damn! Won’t scare this delicate crown prince again, simply won’t—]

Beside them, Ji You grinned cheerfully and said, "Liu Fufeng, your body can’t handle it, always at risk of falling. How about I make a cane for you?"

Liu Fufeng: "..."

"Ahem..." Chu Jiaojiao coughed forcefully, trying to wink at Ji You, "Ji You, don’t discourage people like that." A young man being suggested to use a cane, this...

This...

It’s hard to put into words.

Ji You grinned and said, "Just a joke, just joking, don’t mind it."

Liu Fufeng looked at Ji You, his gaze falling on her Big Chopper.

Ji You quickly withdrew the knife, saying, "Haha... used to using a knife, not used to using my hands, don’t mind." Saying this was slightly awkward, thinking of saying some polite words, originally thought Liu Fufeng wouldn’t care, but—

Liu Fufeng said, "I mind."

Ji You: "..." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Ji You said speechlessly, "Don’t be so petty, petty people aren’t liked, you know?"

Liu Fufeng earnestly said, "I take after my mom, small-minded."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You was genuinely struck speechless.

Then~

When Liu Fufeng said this, his body began swaying again, almost falling towards Ji You, beside him, Shen Changqing suddenly extended a hand, supporting Liu Fufeng and stood up, saying, "Liu Fufeng, there’s a seat here, let me help you sit down?"

Liu Fufeng shook his head, saying, "I won’t sit."

Shen Changqing was taken aback, "Why?"

Liu Fufeng said rather stubbornly, "You’re all standing, if I sit, I’ll look short."

Shen Changqing: "..."

Ji You and others: "..."

Everyone was speechless, then, in unison, Ji You, Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan, all six of them found seats to sit down, Shen Changqing coughed and said, "Now, let’s discuss the next leg of our journey."

Seeing this, Liu Fufeng finally decided to sit down, first lifting his feet, moving slowly towards a nearby seat, his body subtly trembling as if the wind might blow him away, making everyone anxious.

Liu Fufeng successfully sat down, only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, simultaneously feeling a tad regretful: shouldn’t have coveted Liu Fufeng’s Soul Device, looking at his delicate manner, what if he can’t walk anymore and needs to be carried or carried?

What to do then?

Is the mission still going on?

...

"Cough..."

Liu Fufeng interrupted their thoughts with a cough, saying, "I can walk."

Everyone: "..."

"Ahem..." Amidst awkward coughing, Ji You took the initiative to speak, "We’re not afraid you can’t walk, but worry that if your condition continues and you can’t complete the mission personally, Teacher Mu might not acknowledge."

Liu Fufeng’s dark eyes fixed on Ji You, suddenly changing the subject, "Ji You, earlier you said you’d make a cane for me, were you serious?"

Ji You: "???"

Everyone: "???"

Liu Fufeng lowered his head, his face slightly flushed, "I want it."

Ji You: "!!!"

Everyone: "!!!"

Ji You said speechlessly, "You’re not joking, are you?"

Liu Fufeng looked up at Ji You earnestly, "I’m not."

Ji You said, "But I was joking."

Liu Fufeng: "..."

Liu Fufeng’s expression showed clear disappointment and dejection, Ji You ignored it, directly waving her hand, "I can’t make that thing. I think buying one online is better."

"Ahem..." Ji You forcefully changed the topic, saying, "Back to the earlier issue, you can be sure that these Red Crowned Birds have encountered something unusual, causing them to gather alike. And looking at them panicking, they haven’t even noticed our presence nor cared about the surroundings."

Everyone listened attentively.

Ji You asked, "What do you think caused these Red Crowned Birds to react so strangely?"

Beast Tide?

Clearly, it’s unlikely. Because Star Beasts affected by Beast Tide become frenzied, almost losing their consciousness, venting their violence by destroying everything.

These Red Crowned Birds showed only panic and fear, there was no violence and they hadn’t lost their minds.

Moreover, the Beast Tide is 10 years away, the current Star Beast anomalies haven’t shown any sign of Beast Tide.

So, what could it be?

Everyone lowered their heads, deep in thought.

Ji You looked at everyone, "Just now, through the monitor, I casually glimpsed at least 10 Red Crowned Birds of level 8 or higher...this is simply terrifying. What force is chasing or driving these Red Crowned Birds? That even so many level 8 ones are scared of it?"
