The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Such a Nice Person~

In keeping with respect for our ’clothing and food parents,’ Ji You rarely showed great patience towards Sheng Qingyan and reluctantly sat down next to him.

Of course, there was no other option because there were no seats available around, only two empty spots next to Sheng Qingyan. Ji You guessed that it must be Sheng Qingyan’s bizarre aura that deterred anyone from sitting next to him.

Over here.

Seeing Ji You sit down, Sheng Qingyan suddenly raised his hand, very smugly pointing to the sides of his earlobes, saying, ”Can you see? Aren’t these pretty?”

Ji You: ”...”

As if afraid Ji You couldn’t see, he even proudly leaned his head closer to Ji You so that Ji You could clearly see his fair and handsome face with smooth, flawless skin, almost without a single visible pore...

Seeing Ji You staring at his face, Sheng Qingyan lightly raised his phoenix eyes, slightly narrowing them with a lazy light shining through, his lips curling as he said, ”Why are you looking so earnestly, huh? You’re not my type...”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You took a deep breath and said, ”That’s really great then! You’re not my type either! I absolutely loathe men who are more feminine than women.”

Sheng Qingyan raised his eyebrows, wagging his finger, and said, ”It’s okay to insult me, but not to insult my femininity...”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You suddenly stood up: ”Goodbye!”

This is too much for the eyes.

Even with a body as tough as King Kong, I can’t handle it.

No wonder—

When I first sat down, I felt the looks from fellow students around were a bit weird, a complex mix of admiration with a hint of anticipation for the drama...

So this was the reason.

But just as Ji You stood up and hadn’t left his seat yet, he saw Cheng Yu stride into the classroom, swaggering in and immediately saying, ”Yo, full house today too, huh... This makes the teacher feel pleasantly surprised...”

Oh?

Ji You’s eyelid twitched.

Really sensitive to the word ’Oh’ now.

Cheng Yu scanned around, noticed Ji You and a few other students standing, and immediately said, ”Students, please sit down according to your places and don’t stand up randomly as class is starting.”

Ji You hesitated whether to rush out of there as fast as possible, when he suddenly heard Cheng Yu raise his hand, knocking fiercely on the blackboard: ”Right! The short girl in the middle, I’m talking about you, please sit down quickly so you don’t disturb the students in the back from listening.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You reluctantly sat down.

Just as he sat, he was greeted with a face of Sheng Qingyan smirking. He looked around, saw that the teacher Cheng Yu on stage wasn’t paying attention here, then leaned a bit closer to Ji You, lowering his voice saying: ”4444... Let me tell you a little secret...”

Ji You: ”...I don’t want to know.”

Despite Ji You not wanting to hear it, Sheng Qingyan proudly showed off his delicate earlobe—with its pink earrings, saying, ”Guess how much I spent on this?”

Ji You: ”250?”

Sheng Qingyan showed a look of disdain and said, ”Poor dead, huh... Would such pretty earrings come at 250? I spent 1.3 million on these.”

Ji You’s expression remained calm: ”Oh...”

Not shocked?

This poor guy heard that I spent 1.3 million on a pair of showy earrings and he’s not shocked?

That’s not right.

Feeling slightly regretful, Sheng Qingyan continued in a lowered voice, ”Guess what this is?”

Ji You glanced at him: ”Keep babbling, and I’ll complain you’re disturbing my class.”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Slightly choked up, Sheng Qingyan persistently and secretly giggled, saying, ”Look at you, such a bumpkin, definitely not well-explored. Never mind, I’ll tell you straight... What I bought is—”

”Oh...” Ji You: ”Isn’t it just a Soul Device? What’s so unusual about that?” I personally made this! Am I feeling proud? Am I feeling arrogant? Ji You snorted heavily through his nostrils and said, ”Humph—”

Ji You’s casual way of speaking caught Sheng Qingyan off-guard, halting her halfway through her sentence and leaving her at a loss for how to brag anymore.

Sigh~

Who would have thought that this bumpkin could actually recognize that I’m wearing a Soul Device?

This was totally beyond Sheng Qingyan’s expectations, but—

Sheng Qingyan blinked, her tone exuding confidence, ”You, a Double E weakling—don’t you want to improve your strength? Just follow me, and I guarantee you’ll eat and drink the best—”

Ji You: ”Oh—I don’t know about eating and drinking well, but it certainly is eye-watering.”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

This conversation is dead.

No way to continue chatting.

Sheng Qingyan directly said, ”Do you know where I bought this Soul Device? Want to know? If you’re sensible, I might just tell you...”

Ji You: ”Thanks, but I am not interested.”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Infuriating countless, Sheng Qingyan couldn’t help but take a deep breath and said, ”That’s right... How could a poor dead like you afford a Soul Device.”

Ji You: ”So what if I’m poor? Did I eat your rice?”

Sheng Qingyan glanced at her, ”Can you really afford to eat rice, you poor dead?”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You decided to shut up.

Talking to Little Cutie means either dying of anger or choking.

Ji You kept silent, but Sheng Qingyan couldn’t bear the loneliness and whispered: ”4444... let me secretly tell you... I got this Soul Device after staking out the mysterious Master’s shop for a long time...”

Oh—

Staked out for how many days, huh.

That’s pitiful.

Ji You remained silent.

Sheng Qingyan continued, ”It was worth it to stake out the shop for hours every day... As soon as the Master’s earrings were listed, I immediately started to snatch them up, and it was tough to get a pair.”

I mean—

The more I hear, the sadder it sounds.

I can’t bear to listen anymore.

Sheng Qingyan whispered, ”Guess how much stuff worth I bought back for 1.3 million...”

Ji You paused.

Sheng Qingyan covered her mouth and giggled, saying, ”I had it appraised privately... I think it’s worth at least 2 million.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

Sheng Qingyan showed a triumphant smile, ”Shocked, huh? Wanna join me in staking out the Master’s shop? How about we take shifts? You stake out in the morning, and I take the afternoon... As soon as the Master releases something new, guaranteed we’ll snatch her Soul Device.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

After all this talk, that’s what you were aiming for.

Sheng Qingyan yawned, saying, ”It’s too tiring to do it alone, my body can’t take it, two people would definitely be enough...”

Ji You still stared in disbelief: ”!!!”

Sheng Qingyan thought Ji You was still shocked by her bargain find and continued even more proudly, ”This Master is a nice person, oh... the prices of the Soul Devices she sells are always so capricious and cheap...”

Ji You: ”...”
