The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 959: Bad Situation

Every time you open your mouth, it’s to borrow money, and as soon as you stretch out your hand, it’s to write an IOU...

This crown prince.

He’s absolutely something else.

Not only was Ji You speechless, but Chu Jiaojiao and the others also found themselves at a loss for words. But Ji You wasn’t in the mood to joke. She raised her hand, rubbed her temples, trying her best to suppress her emotions, and make her tone sound calm and steady, saying, "Your crutch, give me another 2 minutes."

Liu Fufeng immediately nodded upon hearing this: "Okay. Ji You, I can give you 20 minutes."

Ji You shook her head: "2 minutes is enough."

Then, Ji You lowered her head, ready to continue crafting, but she noticed the concerned gazes of Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing... Ji You softly said, "Don’t worry, I’m fine."

After speaking.

Ji You continued polishing the crutch.

The crutch was already made, just needed the edges smoothed out.

For this step, Ji You was quick.

Rustle, rustle~

As soon as 2 minutes passed, she stopped on time.

Liu Fufeng had been staring at Ji You’s movements. When he saw the crutch was completed, his eyes suddenly brightened, but after taking a closer look, they dimmed again.

Ji You handed the crutch over, saying: "Here."

Liu Fufeng took it: "Thanks."

Judging by his tone, there seemed to be a hint of regret and disappointment? Ji You couldn’t help but ask, "Why do you look so unhappy?"

Liu Fufeng whispered: "It’s really just an ordinary crutch."

Ji You rolled her eyes: "What, are you expecting something more high-end?"

Liu Fufeng said: "I wanted something a bit more special."

Ji You: "Goodbye."

With that, she turned her back.

Then, Ji You faced the gazes of Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao, and the others. She forced out a smile, saying: "Don’t stare at me, I know I’m good-looking, and it’s my fault for mesmerizing countless young boys and girls... but sorry, I can’t settle, because—none of you are my type."

Everyone: "..."

"Alright, don’t bother with her anymore." Yue Qiguang turned around, got back into the cockpit,

Sheng Qingyan got a bit closer, carefully stared at Ji You, then covered his mouth, yawned, and said: "Confirmed, definitely a poor dead guy~ Alright then... everyone go back home to your mothers..."

With that, Sheng Qingyan curled up on the sofa, continuing to sleep.

Yue Qiyuan also glanced at Ji You, then said: "Only someone as annoying as number 4444 would say something like that."

With that, Yue Qiyuan also sat back in the cockpit, his gaze fixed on the spaceship monitor.

"All’s normal now." Shen Changqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Jiaojiao was somewhat uneasy. She leaned in close to Ji You’s face, took a good look, checked several times, and then patted her chest, exhaling deeply: "No doubt, it’s the face of the Ji You I like."

Ji You: "..."

In the blink of an eye, the group turned around, each minding their own business, and no one paid attention to Ji You. Even Liu Fufeng was examining his crutch, as if trying to stare a flower out of it...

Ji You let out an invisible sigh of relief.

At this moment, with no one bothering her, she had enough space to herself, which indeed allowed Ji You to breathe a huge sigh of relief.

She—

She really had no mind, nor strength, nor did she want or wish to explain to everyone why she suddenly acted like she was going crazy.

Ji You raised her hand, gently covering her chest:

[Xiao You—]

[Are you—really gone?]

[Even covering my heart, I can’t feel you at all.]

At this moment, Ji You’s heart was exceptionally regretful. Before encountering those two mysterious unknown forces, a strong sense of crisis prompted Ji You to immediately cut off her connection with Xiao You.

At that time, the Iron Plate dimmed all over, suddenly becoming very strange, as if it was about to peel away from Ji You’s spiritual world. At that moment, for some unknown reason, Ji You didn’t think twice before cutting off the Iron Plate’s energy supply!

No doubt.

Although Ji You couldn’t control it, nor could she touch the Iron Plate, and didn’t even know what it was, the Iron Plate needed natural food, Soul Devices... types of rare items’ energy to nourish itself ever since it entered her spiritual world. And Ji You was the bridge supplying energy to the Iron Plate. She could indeed cut off the Iron Plate’s energy supply, but Ji You had never done it before, partly because Xiao You was inside the Iron Plate, and partly because having been with the Iron Plate for so long, it had also saved her life...

It’s impossible for Ji You to abandon it.

But, upon realizing the Iron Plate might be discovered and taken away at a moment, Ji You had no choice but to cut off its energy supply. As soon as she cut it off, the Iron Plate instantly hid itself.

It was only after the Iron Plate vanished that those two mysterious forces swiftly arrived—

It accidentally bumped into Ji You’s spaceship and paused: "Huh?"

It and the other it simultaneously stopped, carefully observing around— 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

No anomalies at all.

It seemed like the anomaly a second ago was just an illusion.

Waited quietly for a while.

...

The other it urged: "Let’s go."

Then.

They both quickly left.

In the blink of an eye, gone without a trace.

...

After the trembling sensation in Ji You’s bones completely disappeared, she still dared not reconnect with the Iron Plate, nor dared to call for Xiao You inside it, because she wasn’t sure if the brief pause of the two mysterious forces was due to the Iron Plate?

Until the fear was completely gone from her body, Ji You truly relaxed, then found she seemed unable to connect with the Iron Plate. Even though she knew the Iron Plate was still there, but—

The Iron Plate just didn’t respond at all.

Deploying 6 Spiritual Silk, she couldn’t find the Iron Plate at all.

...

Ji You was very anxious.

Very flustered.

Unable to find the Iron Plate meant she couldn’t find Xiao You, so she didn’t know the Iron Plate’s condition, nor did she know what happened to Xiao You.

Xiao You—

Ji You didn’t dare to think about how Xiao You would feel if she were gone, with no one to communicate or exchange with, how helpless, sad, and scared she would be...

Thinking about this, Ji You clenched her fists tightly.

Not strong enough!

It was because she wasn’t strong enough, that she let herself, Xiao You, friends, and classmates fall into such a predicament.

Ji You clenched her fists, gritting her teeth, as dark clouds loomed over her, when the Little Golden Dragon suddenly waved its tail, leapt onto Ji You’s head, and said: "Woman! What are you doing?"

Ji You raised her hand, grabbed the Little Golden Dragon, about to tuck it into the Space Button, but then paused, remembering her mecha-specific Space Button was already broken. A mecha-specific Space Button probably costs between 5 to 50 thousand credit points.

Suddenly, Ji You glared at the Little Golden Dragon, somewhat helplessly: "You really are a money-burning little fairy."

Little Golden Dragon: "..."

The Little Golden Dragon rolled its eyes, suddenly saying: "Woman, you’re in a terrible state. I can’t even feel your spiritual fluctuations anymore. You should eat some Soul Devices to replenish yourself, or else, the situation’s not looking good."
