The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 944: Chapter 944: Crow’s Mouth

Inside the cockpit.

The spaceship was set to automatic navigation, speeding towards its destination, Bee Head Star, but the distance from Lanyue Star to Bee Head Star was too far, located at the border of the Sixth and Seventh Star Systems, where the terrain was slightly complex.

Beside her, Sheng Qingyan was already leaning back in his chair, snoring loudly with his mouth open, drooling, which seemed extremely mismatched with his enchanting, beautiful face.

Ji You leaned back in her chair, staring at the starry sky map, carefully checking the surroundings. After confirming there were no dangers within a thousand kilometers of the spaceship, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

”Phew~”

”Phew~”

”Phew~”

...

It was just like a broken bellows, the snoring was unbearably loud, and it gave Ji You a headache. She raised her hand and rubbed her brow: [With such thunderous snoring, I wonder where Sheng Qingyan gets the nerve to complain about Yue Qiguang’s snoring and teeth grinding?]

Then.

Click~

Click~

Click~

...

Using the Light Computer, Ji You took pictures and recorded holographic videos of Sheng Qingyan from all angles, 360 degrees without any blind spots. She then nonchalantly put her hands in her pockets: [The Universe’s Number One Little Cutie’s embarrassing moments, let’s keep a few more, maybe we can sell them for money in the future.]

Cough cough...

Ji You calmly continued to stare at the monitor.

”Hmm~” Sheng Qingyan hummed lightly, suddenly opened his eyes, and said: ”Poor dead ghost, what time is it now?”

Ji You said: ”Alliance Standard Time, 11:55 AM.”

Sheng Qingyan’s eyes lit up, and he said: ”So, our shift is almost over, huh?” The two of them had been on duty since 8 AM, watching for 4 hours, and it was almost 12 PM now...

Sheng Qingyan stretched lazily and said: ”I’ll keep sleeping, call me when the time’s up.”

”...” Ji You rolled her eyes and said: ”You’ve already been sleeping for 4 hours, and you still want to sleep? Are you a pig?”

Sheng Qingyan gave her a sidelong glance and said: ”What do you know? Isn’t life just about eating, playing, and sleeping? There’s nothing to eat, drink, or play with now, so what else can I do but sleep?”

Ji You waved her hand, ”Alright, alright, go to sleep.”

”However, I just took embarrassing photos of you drooling and snoring. If you’re willing to give me a million credit points, I might consider deleting them completely.”

Sheng Qingyan said speechlessly: ”This is extortion~”

Ji You: ”That’s right.”

Sheng Qingyan waved his hand indifferently: ”Whatever, oh. Are there many photos? Should I cooperate more and let you take a few more, oh?”

Ji You: ”...”

Just then, Yue Qiguang and Yue Qiyuan pushed the door open and came in. Yue Qiguang said: ”Hurry out, it’s time for me to show my might! Damn Star Beasts, come on, the more the merrier...”

Ji You, Yue Qiyuan, and even the drowsy Sheng Qingyan suddenly jumped up, and the three of them exclaimed in unison: ”Shut up!”

Sheng Qingyan cursed: ”Ah Guang, if you say such a thing again, I’ll kill my teammate, oh!”

Yue Qiyuan rolled his eyes: ”I’ll turn in my own family for the greater good!”

Ji You rolled up her sleeves and said: ”I’ll bury the body, not even ashes left.”

Yue Qiguang shuddered and muttered: ”I was just saying, Daddy...”

Ji You said: ”Don’t you know your crows mouth is annoying?”

Yue Qiguang: ”Cough cough... No such thing.”

Just then, the monitor, which originally showed everything was normal, suddenly started flashing red dots continuously and emitted a series of piercing alarms. Ji You, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, and Sheng Qingyan’s faces changed simultaneously. They saw that at a 45-degree angle from the spaceship’s forward direction, about 10 light minutes away, a large batch of red dots suddenly appeared. These red dots represented Star Beasts.

Zooming in, the true face of this group of Star Beasts was revealed; they were a group of flying Red Crowned Birds.

Ji You slapped her thigh: ”Damn!”

Sheng Qingyan cursed: ”Damn, oh~”

Yue Qiyuan gritted his teeth: ”Idiot.”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

Yue Qiguang opened his mouth wide: ”No... it can’t be?”

Everyone didn’t even have time to scold Yue Qiguang’s crows mouth. Ji You immediately sat up straight, and activated the spaceship’s built-in camouflage system and Protective Shield, lowering their presence to the minimum before forcibly rerouting the spaceship.

Yue Qiyuan was guarding the monitor, connected to the Spiritual Connector, closely watching the screen, saying: ”We’ve flown towards 47 degrees, but we still have over 60% remaining. We’ll continue to detour.”

Sheng Qingyan was lying at the cannon firing port, aiming at the target, ready to attack at any moment.

Yue Qiguang was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted by contacting Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and Liu Fufeng, who were resting. The three of them trembled all over, quickly putting on their gear and weapons.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, no one made a sound, and no one relaxed their mind at this time, all prepared for the worst.

Ji You’s mind was stretched to the limit. Sitting in the main pilot seat, she hadn’t even had time to switch with Yue Qiguang or Yue Qiyuan before encountering such an emergency, having no choice but to step up as the main pilot of the spaceship.

Ji You controlled the spaceship, bit by bit, moving very slowly in another direction. Because the distance between them and the birds was very close, any slight deviation might expose them to the Red Crowned Bird group, and they couldn’t be careless. Any misstep would be a situation of life and death.

Plop~

...

Large beads of sweat fell from Ji You’s forehead onto the control panel. She couldn’t spare a moment to care. Next to her, Yue Qiyuan also didn’t have a moment of relaxation; he released all the available Spiritual Silk without the slightest reservation...

meter.

meters.

meters.

...

Constantly releasing and extending... A rare solemnity and seriousness appeared on Yue Qiyuan’s handsome face. His dark eyes stared at the monitor, organizing and simplifying the detected information, and promptly feeding it back to Ji You.

”At a 35-degree angle, there’s a dead small asteroid.”

”Turn.”

”Go straight for about 3 light seconds, and be careful of meteors.”

...

Ji You’s Spiritual Silk was limited, and she couldn’t investigate the surrounding situation herself at this moment, so she had to leave it to Yue Qiyuan and rely on his judgment.

Turn.

Straight.

Accelerate.

...

Ji You’s commands came, one after the other, and as Yue Qiyuan’s voice grew softer and he spoke less, Ji You’s entire back was soaked, and the sweat on her forehead kept dripping in large beads, but she still didn’t dare to relax.

Finally——

”We’re clear.” Yue Qiyuan’s voice was very low, very low... As he spoke, his pair of clean black eyes still didn’t look away from the monitor for a second...

”The Red Crown Bird group is completely gone.” Yue Qiyuan said, and after speaking, he let out a gentle breath.

Ji You, Sheng Qingyan, and Yue Qiyuan also let out a heavy breath, and then Ji You and Sheng Qingyan almost simultaneously turned their heads, shouting: ”Yue Qiguang, come out and meet your doom!”
