The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 625: Chapter 625: Spare the Beans!

The surroundings were silent.

...

Go up?

Not go up?

This is a very serious question.

Ji You was keeping a straight face, staring at the 5 Candy Beans in Teacher Mu Jianling’s hand, tormented inside:

Go up.

I might get beaten up by many people.

Not go up.

Ji You seriously doubted Teacher Mu Jianling might just take back the reward, letting Ji You watch helplessly as the 5 Candy Beans slipped away, which would be more painful than having her heart carved out.

After a slight wait for a few seconds, there was still no sign of movement below the stage. Suddenly, Mu Jianling curled her lips, looked towards the students below, and her gaze unintentionally swept over to Ji You at spot number 4444, saying softly, ”Don’t want to come up? Then, I’ll take back the Candy Beans.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

Ji You suddenly stood up and shouted, ”Teacher! Leave some beans for me!”

The surroundings: ”!!!”

The moment number 4444, Ji You stood up, all the students in the training room widened their pupils and their mouths gaped open, probably big enough to fit a whole ostrich egg...

The shocked gazes around her seemed like they would pierce Ji You full of holes, but Ji You didn’t care much, she dashed to the stage in one swift move and grabbed onto Teacher Mu Jianling’s hand which was about to take back the Candy Beans, wailing, ”Teacher! Please leave some beans for me!!!”

Mu Jianling gave her a sidelong glance, her chilling gaze pausing on Ji You’s presumptuous claws.

Ji You awkwardly withdrew her hands and squeezed out a flattering smile, ”Teacher... what wrong did these Candy Beans do for you to take them back?”

Mu Jianling’s mouth twitched.

Ji You shamelessly said, ”Such cute little Candy Beans should be handed over to me.”

It’s safe when it’s in the bag, yet it hasn’t been secured, which made her a bit nervous. Ji You, while enduring a tingling scalp, reached out for the Candy Beans...

Mu Jianling raised an eyebrow, ”Hand.”

Ji You instantly retracted her hand and raised her head, trying to squeeze out a smile, ”Teacher, I... I’m here to collect my reward.”

Mu Jianling lightly hummed, ”Hmm~”

Ji You stared eagerly...

Mu Jianling raised her hand slowly, really slowly, took back the 5 Candy Beans she had put away, and said, ”A second later, and I would have taken back the reward.”

Ji You quickly nodded, ”Yes, yes, yes... What you said is correct.”

After saying that, she grabbed the Candy Beans and stuffed them into her Space Button.

Only after stuffing them, did Ji You let down her guard and said, ”Thank you, Teacher.”

Mu Jianling waved her hand, ”Scram.”

Ji You turned around, preparing to slip off the stage when she noticed that all the students in the training room had very weird expressions on their faces. Amidst the weirdness, their looks were sharper than countless blades...

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You solemnly said, ”Ahem... Don’t get me wrong, actually, I was just collecting the reward on behalf of my friend.”

Students: ”...”

”Holy shit!!!”

”The legendary friend out of nowhere!”

”What kind of thick-skinned material is this made of?”

...

Even Mu Jianling couldn’t help but twitch her lips when she heard Ji You say that. She lifted her foot and kicked Ji You’s backside, scolding, ”Spouting nonsense! Get off the stage now.”

Ji You felt bitter, rubbed her behind, and rolled down the stage sullenly.

Even when Ji You sat back in her spot, [...]

”Teacher! Could the reward have really been given to the wrong person?”

”Is number 4444 truly the Rag Queen?”

”Is there a possibility that she claimed it under a false pretense?”

”Cough cough... Number 4444 said she was collecting it on behalf of someone.”

”Teacher... with your wisdom and martial prowess, you definitely shouldn’t give out rewards wrongly.”

...

Hearing the students’ doubts and disbelief, Mu Jianling lightly raised an eyebrow and snorted, ”Are you questioning me?”

The students instantly shook their heads in unison: ”No! We have never doubted Teacher Mu, we just want to know one thing: Teacher, can we beat her up together?”

Ji You: ”...”

What grudge, what grievance?

Mu Jianling, indifferent, shrugged his shoulders, ”Suit yourselves.”

The students immediately cheered together: ”Teacher, your wisdom and martial prowess will last through the ages!”

Seeing her classmates so united for the first time, Ji You, for some reason, shuddered, especially with a few glances from the people around her making her extremely uncomfortable, wishing she could just run away.

But!!!

Strangely enough, unlike the boisterous other students around, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, Chu Jiaojiao, and others nearby were unusually silent, eerily silent.

They didn’t speak, just staring at Ji You, which she couldn’t bear, muttering, ”Stop staring, I’m not your type.”

The few of them: ”...”

They still said nothing.

Ji You with a stern face, said, ”Really, I’m not your type at all.”

After a while.

Yue Qiguang suddenly shouted, ”Damn! Dad hasn’t woken up yet today!”

Yue Qiyuan, for the first time, agreed with his silly brother, and turned to ask Shen Changqing, ”What time is it? Are you getting up?”

Shen Changqing shook his head, dispelling the two’s ostrich-like mentality, ”We’re in the training room, and have been awake for 6 hours already.”

Yue Qiguang: ”Dad doesn’t listen! Not listening! Not listening!”

No matter what, he couldn’t believe that he was eliminated by the fool, number 4444.

Unbelievable!

Impossible!

It couldn’t be true.

Chu Jiaojiao had her mouth open the whole time, so wide that an ostrich egg could fit in, staring at Ji You for a long time. After listening to Yue Qiguang’s ranting and raving, she finally came to her senses and suddenly shouted, ”Ah! Ji You, can I touch your face?”

And then, she reached out her hand.

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You raised her hand and knocked away Chu Jiaojiao’s audacious paw.

Chu Jiaojiao, giggling happily, pulled back her hand and said, ”Ah! I touched Ji You’s hand.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You shook off the goosebumps and cursed, ”Can you not be so stupid?”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”Ah! Ji You called me stupid! She’s so cute...”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You lost.

Ji You forcibly turned her head away, then, inadvertently bumped heads with Sheng Qingyan, who was propping up his head; he yawned and said, ”You poor dead ghost, really tactless.”

Ji You straightened her back, deciding to stay away from these people for the time being.

Following that—

Mu Jianling suddenly commanded, ”Silence!”

The bustling training room instantly quieted down like chickens.

Mu Jianling, satisfied, opened his mouth to say, ”Next...”
