The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 958: Oppressive Might

Towards the depths of her Spiritual World, she uttered a greeting. In reality, Ji You’s hand was holding a metal carving knife, and she didn’t stop her actions, still diligently polishing the cane bit by bit.

Silence.

An utter silence.

It felt as if her Spirit Space never had Xiao You, nor was there ever any Iron Plate—everything was merely Ji You’s imagination.

[Xiao You—]

[Xiao You—]

[Xiao You—]

...

Ji You called out firmly, one sentence after another.

But!!!

No.

No response.

The entire Spiritual World, aside from six drooping Spiritual Silk strands, was a vast darkness...

[Xiao You—]

Ji You’s voice already carried a hint of sobbing, yet she persistently called out again and again. Usually, just a gentle shout was followed by Xiao You’s sweet and soft reply—now—

She was gone.

Ji You gripped the carving knife tightly, and suddenly—

Crack~

The sudden crisp sound frightened Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, and Sheng Qingyan, who had been startled and still tense. Yue Qiguang glanced towards the source and fell silent: "Number 4444, are you crazy? Your hand is bleeding—don’t you know?"

At his words, Ji You glanced down and saw that her right index finger was accidentally cut deeply, blood flowing profusely...

"Oh—" Ji You calmly withdrew her hand, and without blinking, took out a Blood Stopping Tape and applied it. This tape had healing properties. Such a wound would heal within half a day.

Then.

Ji You continued to polish the cane.

Watching this scene, Yue Qiguang and the others were a bit speechless. Yue Qiguang said, "Fool, did someone rob your money?"

Ji You: "???"

Yue Qiguang eyed her sidelong, saying, "You obviously have the look of someone who’s had their money stolen, really? Is your money truly all gone from your account?"

If it was before, Ji You would have cursed a few times, but now, she wasn’t in the mood. So everyone saw Ji You only lift her eyelids, glanced at Yue Qiguang, then lowered her gaze devoid of any spirit, continuing to polish the cane.

Everyone: "???"

Crack~

Once again, Ji You’s hand was cut.

Ji You indifferently tore off another Blood Stopping Tape and continued to polish.

Then.

Crack~

Another cut.

Everyone: "???"

Ji You paused, looking at the third wound. She appeared a bit angry as her brow furrowed, and then, under everyone’s gaze, Ji You suddenly took out a stack of Blood Stopping Tapes from the Space Button and threw them onto the workbench.

Everyone: "!!!"

—Ji You, are you planning to harm yourself?

Chu Jiaojiao leaped over and asked, "Ji You classmate, if there’s something troubling you, please speak out, don’t harm yourself."

Ji You was silent.

Her brow tightly knitted, the pressure around her getting lower and lower... As the low pressure emanated, a heavy atmosphere enveloped everyone, making them feel a strong, oppressive force. Chu Jiaojiao, the closest to her, felt it most, enduring a heavier oppression... Chu Jiaojiao opened her mouth, even feeling for a moment as if she were about to suffocate...

In urgency, Chu Jiaojiao had to muster her powerful Physical Strength to resist the pressure, and even so, her face flushed red. Chu Jiaojiao’s head was filled with a thread of doubt:

When did Ji You become so strong?

Not only Chu Jiaojiao, but also Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan, and Yue Qiguang, all were compelled to defend against the pressure radiating from Ji You.

She seemed immersed in some emotion, unable to extricate herself.

"Ji You classmate?"

"Ji You?"

"Number 4444!"

...

Amidst the calls around her, Ji You seemed not to hear. Not only that, her eyes suddenly reddened.

For a moment, everyone stared worriedly at Ji You.

The Little Golden Dragon, previously nestled comfortably in Ji You’s arms, could no longer resist suddenly rushing out, frowning: "Woman, what are you doing?"

Suddenly—

"Drip~"

"Drip~"

"Drip~"

Large tears suddenly started falling from Ji You’s misty eyes, yet her hands continued to unceasingly polish the cane...

Seeing this scene, everyone anxiously circled around, momentarily at a loss for how to react...

The pressure around Ji You was very low, oppressively so, as if it might burst at any moment. Even someone as strong as Chu Jiaojiao couldn’t easily approach her, and Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, who were slightly weaker, had to retreat a few steps.

It was at this moment, when Liu Fufeng, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly stood up and walked towards Ji You.

step.

steps.

steps.

...

Liu Fufeng stopped, not immediately speaking, but raised his hand to grasp the other end of the cane in Ji You’s hand, saying, "Ji You, you should stop now." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Ji You’s movements were suddenly interrupted, and she paused, abruptly stopping. At that moment, her aura expanded vastly!

Boom—

Invisibly, spiritual power exploded, causing even the airwaves within the cabin to swirl.

Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, Shen Changqing... a few people’s figures swayed slightly. Everyone involuntarily closed their eyes, and when they opened them, they found Liu Fufeng, who seemed slender, still standing steadily.

Everyone: "???"

Then—

The next second, under everyone’s gaze, Liu Fufeng looked shaky, and then—clang—

Liu Fufeng fell to the ground.

Everyone: "..."

Illusion.

It was truly an illusion.

How could someone as frail as Liu Fufeng possibly withstand Ji You’s explosion of spiritual power?

But!!!

Seeing Liu Fufeng, fallen awkwardly, yet still astonishingly beautiful, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan, Yue Qiguang, everyone’s eyes showed a hint of contemplation.

...

As Liu Fufeng fell, it was at this moment that Ji You, immersed in pain, heard the noise and suddenly opened her eyes, faced with everyone’s worried gazes, and Liu Fufeng, sprawled on the ground like a dog crawling. Ji You opened her mouth: "..."

Silence.

Still silence.

Everyone was silent.

Ji You opened her mouth: "Um..."

"Cough cough..."

"It wasn’t me."

Ji You looked somewhat awkward and embarrassed, especially facing Liu Fufeng’s eyes that carried a hint of obvious accusation and grievance, making Ji You feel even more embarrassed.

Liu Fufeng suddenly said: "Ji You classmate, I only wanted you to help make a cane, you... you didn’t have to be like this..." He said, appearing extremely frightened, his body slightly trembling, his teeth chattering: "If... If you don’t want to make it for free, I... I can write you an IOU."

Ji You: "..."

Everyone: "..."
