The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 721: Chapter 721: Ji You Puts the Greater Good First

Ji You finished packing up, made sure nothing was left behind, and then patted her butt, ready to leave.

But as she turned around, she realized Sheng Qingyan hadn’t followed her, and Ji You couldn’t help but curse, ”Come on, let’s go.”

Sheng Qingyan was in complete disarray, looking utterly hopeless and distraught:

”No—”

”I didn’t do anything—”

”I don’t know anything—”

...

Hearing this, Ji You nodded and said with a smile, ”Yep! You didn’t do anything. You just used the Space Button to store some stuff.”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Covering his face, Sheng Qingyan felt like crying for the first time, ”You devil, why would you do something like this? Why did you have to drag me into this?”

”Cough cough...” Ji You cleared her throat, a bit uncomfortable, ”What do you mean by ’something like this’? I just moved some stuff around. Besides, such a big tent, both comfy and safe, it’s a waste to leave it here since Teacher Mu isn’t around. What’s wrong with me using it temporarily?”

Sheng Qingyan just gaped: ”You you you!!”

Irritated, Ji You said: ”What a fuss over nothing! It’s wasteful not to use the resources we have! That’s just stupid!”

Then, Ji You clicked her tongue and said with disdain, ”Spicy Eye, I thought you were smarter than this.”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Your reasoning makes no sense, yet why do you sound so righteous?

Sheng Qingyan pouted, ”Although I’m smart and cute, I really don’t like courting death.”

”Cough...”

Speaking of courting death, Ji You was not pleased, she bristled, ”How is this courting death?”

”Perhaps Teacher Mu will know and even praise me for being clever.”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Ji You raised her hand, urging, ”Don’t just stand there stupidly, let’s go!”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Covering his face, Sheng Qingyan said, ”Teacher, if you’re listening, it was all this clever devil’s idea, it really has nothing to do with me.”

”There’s someone responsible for the debt, please don’t find the wrong debtor...” As he said this, Sheng Qingyan exaggeratedly bowed several times...

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You frowned and scolded: ”What nonsense are you talking about? And also—” She glared at Sheng Qingyan’s comical gesture of worship, speechless, ”Don’t overact, are you trying to die quicker?”

If Teacher Mu could really see us, you’d have worshipped hundreds, thousands of times without me even being dead.

Sheng Qingyan immediately shrank his neck and rushed to Ji You’s side, grabbing her clothes, pouting, ”Poor dead guy, if I die, I’ll definitely drag you down with me.”

Ji You: ”Let’s go, go, go...”

The two walked in the dark towards their residence, and along the way, they encountered a Patrol Team which included Shen Changqing and Zhang Ye. Ji You greeted: ”Hey, everyone, tough day huh?”

The 100 members of the Patrol Team were all on edge, and didn’t dare to relax, but after a whole day, everyone was tired, thirsty, and hungry...

At this moment, when the Patrol Team students saw Ji You and Sheng Qingyan, they perked up a bit and responded to her.

Then—

Everyone heard Ji You ask, ”Guys, I have a question for you, where can we find a lot of Star Beast corpses?”

Better asking the Patrol Team directly than searching blindly on her own.

Everyone: ”...”

Puzzled and slightly shocked by Ji You’s question, Shen Changqing and Zhang Ye seemed to understand a bit but were also unsure.

Only Sheng Qingyan seemed on the verge of collapse:

So angry!

Going to collect corpses again!

Though the Patrol Team members found it strange, they answered Ji You’s question, saying, ”There’s a pile of Star Beast corpses at the foot of the eastern mountains.”

Ji You’s eyes lit up, then she straightened her face and pretended to be serious, ”I’ll go and check if there are any clues on the bodies of the Star Beasts, how could there be Star Beasts in the farm under normal circumstances?”

As she spoke.

Ji You grabbed Sheng Qingyan and left.

The patrol team watched her come quickly and leave quickly, looking all hurry-scurry, which was a bit strange, but the task of patrolling was still paramount, so they didn’t bother about it.

...

Ji You and Sheng Qingyan, following the instructions, came to the foot of the eastern mountain and indeed saw a pile of long-eared rabbit corpses.

Ji You waved grandly: ”Spicy Eye! Time to work!”

Sheng Qingyan, with a gloomy face, said, ”I’ve decided, you know, when we get back, I’m throwing this Space Button away.”

Ji You upon hearing this said, ”Throw it to me!”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Sheng Qingyan fell silent.

The pile of long-eared rabbit corpses was quickly collected by the two, and fortunately, the last level 3 long-eared rabbit corpse was also there!

After packing up, Ji You didn’t delay anymore and immediately headed back home. When Ji You and Sheng Qingyan returned to their temporary lodging, they overheard Lance and Chu Jiaojiao, who had just come back, talking with everyone:

Lance said, ”Just now, when Chu Jiaojiao and I passed by Teacher Mu’s tent, we discovered the tent was gone.”

It seemed they were afraid no one would believe them, Lance earnestly said, ”It’s absolutely true!”

Yue Qiyuan furrowed his brow, ”So, where did the tent go? Could it be—did Teacher Mu come back earlier?”

Yue Qiguang cursed, ”So, the Star Beast really was that old hag’s doing!”

”Sneaky!”

”Deceitful!”

”Despicable!”

”That old hag left without a sound and came back silently! It’s really...”

”Cough...”

Ji You felt a bit embarrassed, cleared her throat, and interrupted their conversation.

Seeing Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao immediately bounced over with a smile, looked up and down at Ji You’s face, only relaxed after seeing she still looked as beautiful as before.

Xuzhou had already brought back the treatment instrument, and Ren An was undergoing treatment. His abdominal wound and the bruises on his face were gradually fading, but the Star Beast toxin infection still existed in his body, requiring surgery by professional medical personnel to be cured. The treatment instrument could only alleviate and suppress the toxin spread...

In short, he wasn’t going to die.

After getting an update on the severely injured patient, Ji You cleared her throat and said, ”The conditions in this temporary residence are too poor, which is not good for the patient’s recovery, so—”

She tried hard to keep a straight face while coughing.

Everyone: ”???”

Then—

In front of everyone, Ji You pulled out Teacher Mu’s ultra-luxurious tent:

”Here—”

”I brought this back for everyone!”

Everyone: ”!!!”

Lance: ”So it was you who took away Teacher Mu’s tent? Cough cough cough...”

He choked a little, not quite knowing what to say next.

Others looked as if they had been struck by lightning, staring dumbfounded at Ji You.

Ji You, with a stern face, rather displeased, said, ”What’s with those ghostly expressions? Snap out of it! I’m doing my best to provide the best conditions for the patients! Look at you—”

”All so unaccomplished, acting as if you’ve never seen the broader world!”

”Who am I doing this for?”

”Sigh!”

”Being a person is hard!”

”Being a good person is even harder!”

”Being a righteous, kind-hearted, and overall caring good person is the hardest of all!”

In short—

When it’s time to take the blame, none of you can escape.

Humph～
