The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 928: Chapter 928: My Name Is Ji You, Nice to Meet You

Little Golden Dragon stared with wide eyes, hopping in place, but Ji You and Teacher Mu Jianling ignored it. Ji You proposed this brilliant money-making idea, just waiting for Teacher Mu Jianling’s approval, but then—

”Slap!”

Before Ji You could react, a slap landed. She rubbed her aching head and forced a smile, ”Teacher... would you consider it?”

Mu Jianling replied coldly, ”Buy or not, just say the word. If you waste any more of my time, I’ll throw you out.”

Ji You shouted, ”Buy!”

Mu Jianling said, ”Money.”

Ji You: ”Ahem... well...”

Seeing Ji You’s hesitation, Mu Jianling understood immediately. Without a word, she lowered her head, pulled out a thick stack of papers from her Space Button, and then took out a pen. She shot a glance at Ji You and said, ”Hurry up.”

One sheet.

Two sheets.

Three sheets.

...

The smile on Ji You’s face froze, ”Old... Teacher... isn’t that a bit much?”

Mu Jianling sneered, ”Not as thick as your skin.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You raised her hand to touch her face, muttering softly, ”It’s clearly so thin.”

Mu Jianling remained silent, only raising an eyebrow.

A chill swept over her head, and Ji You dared not delay. She quickly took the pen and paper and began writing the IOU. However, as soon as she wrote the words ’IOU’, Teacher Mu Jianling said, ”Who wants your IOU? It’s worthless.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You hurriedly said, ”Teacher, I don’t have that many credit points. Without an IOU, I can’t produce the money.”

Mu Jianling said, ”Contract.”

Ji You forced a smile, ”Ahem... Teacher, forget it, my contract is worthless. Really, you said before that it would be a waste to throw it in the trash.”

Mu Jianling looked at Ji You coldly, not speaking, but her meaning was clear.

Having no choice, Ji You lowered her head and obediently signed the thick stack of contracts.

Mu Jianling took them, and after reading them, she nodded in satisfaction, ”Alright, you can take your mecha and leave.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You picked up Little Golden Dragon, who resisted fiercely: [Damn it, woman, don’t think you can own me!]

[Touch me again, and we’ll both perish!]

[Woman! You——]

Seeing Little Golden Dragon’s pitiful expression, Ji You sympathetically activated its voice system, and suddenly, Little Golden Dragon screamed, ”Woman, you’ll regret your choice!”

Ji You grinned, ”With 80 billion, why would I regret it?”

Little Golden Dragon’s head swelled with anger, ignoring Ji You and turning to Mu Jianling, questioning, ”Teacher Mu, why sell me to this foolish woman?”

Sell cheap?

Ji You was displeased to hear this and said, ”100 billion and it’s cheap? That’s not a low price. Ask around, is there any mecha more valuable than you?”

Little Golden Dragon proudly lifted its face, ”True. I am the strongest mecha in the Universe, bar none!”

However!

That couldn’t divert Little Golden Dragon’s attention. It suddenly leapt into the air in front of Mu Jianling, staring at her indifferent face with a hint of confusion and sadness, ”Why sell me?”

Mu Jianling lifted her eyelid, ”You’re useless to me.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Heartbroken.

Dragon heartbroken.

Little Golden Dragon said, ”I can assist you in battle.”

Mu Jianling replied, ”I don’t need a noisy, energy-draining, and disobedient mecha.”

Hearing this, Little Golden Dragon froze.

Silence.

After a brief silence, Little Golden Dragon scoffed loudly, ”Hmph! You’ll regret it, you’ll definitely regret it.”

Mu Jianling watched coldly, unmoved.

”Hey~” Ji You suddenly raised her hand, poking the excited Little Golden Dragon’s forehead, ”Buying you, I’ll never regret. Not now, not in the future, not a second of any day.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Little Golden Dragon trembled, stared at Ji You with wide eyes, retreated, then approached: ”You... you... woman! Don’t think you can win my heart with sweet words.”

Ji You placed a hand on her chest, staring at Little Golden Dragon with utmost seriousness, ”If sweet words can win your heart, then let me immerse in this sea of honey, speaking sweetness in every word from now on.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Little Golden Dragon was shocked.

Little Golden Dragon was stunned.

Little Golden Dragon was speechless.

...

Ji You gave Little Golden Dragon a slight smile, ”Mecha, are you satisfied with what you see?”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Little Golden Dragon’s face flushed red, transforming from a shimmering golden dragon to a cooked lobster...

Little Golden Dragon: ”You you you...”

After stammering for quite a while, it couldn’t find an appropriate word to express its feelings, so it wagged its tail fiercely, quickly turning away from Ji You and Mu Jianling.

Mu Jianling watched this, looking slightly speechless, then took a deep breath, addressing Little Golden Dragon, ”Heavenly Dog, follow Ji You from now on.”

Little Golden Dragon turned its back to Mu Jianling, stubbornly silent.

Mu Jianling looked at the sulking Little Golden Dragon, her tone inadvertently softening, ”Though you’ve existed for a hundred years, your experience is still lacking...”

She glanced at Ji You, ”Don’t be easily swayed by her. You’re so naive and gullible that you might help count the money even if you’re sold.”

Little Golden Dragon stomped its feet vigorously, ”Mind your own business!”

”Ahem!!!”

Ji You disliked hearing that. She coughed forcefully, righteously saying, ”Teacher, you’ve already sold it to me, so let’s not sow discord between me and it.”

”Besides, how could I bear to sell a mecha as cute as Little Golden Dragon? I haven’t even started loving it yet.”

Little Golden Dragon trembled upon hearing this.

One second later.

Little Golden Dragon blushed, ”Damn... damn woman, don’t think you’ll make me like you, dream on!”

Ji You laughed heartily, ”No way, I never dreamed I’d become the driver of the world’s first biological mecha one day.”

Hearing the pride and joy in Ji You’s voice, Little Golden Dragon blushed, thought for a moment, and said, ”Hmph~ I guess you have some insight.”

Ji You chuckled, then suddenly put on a serious, solemn face, speaking earnestly, ”Hello, Little Golden Dragon, I’m Ji You, very pleased to be your Master. Please teach me well in the future.”

Little Golden Dragon wagged its tail irritably, ”Foolish woman, who wants you as a Master? Besides, I’m not called Little Golden Dragon, I am the invincible mecha of the Universe—Lord Heavenly Dog!”

As it spoke—

Little Golden Dragon’s tail unknowingly rested on Ji You’s arm.
