The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 960: Chapter 960: IOUs

”Woman, your state is really bad, I can’t even feel your spiritual wave anymore. You need to consume a few more soul devices to supplement it, or things won’t look good.” Little Golden Dragon said this with furrowed brows, a hint of worry flashing in its golden pupils.

As the only biological mechanoid in the entire human world, Little Golden Dragon not only has acute hearing, but also highly sensitive touch and perception... So sensitive that it can even understand the pronunciation of two mysterious forces... Now, it can’t even detect Ji You’s spiritual wave, which shows just how bad Ji You’s mental state is.

Little Golden Dragon originally thought that by saying this, Ji You would take it seriously, but unexpectedly—

Ji You said, ”I have no money.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

The entire body of Little Golden Dragon trembled, with a face full of shock, it said, ”At this point, you still hold onto money? You stingy miser! Do you even know how serious the problem is?”

Of course Ji You knows how bad her mental state is. In the spiritual world, six strands are limply hanging, without any vitality, the whole spiritual world is dim and faintly about to collapse...

But...

No money.

Ji You said helplessly, ”A miser holds wealth, but I’m genuinely poor... Where do I have any wealth to guard?”

Still owe 10 billion.

Saying this, Ji You glanced sideways at Little Golden Dragon, and said, ”How about, seeing which tycoon takes a fancy to you, I’ll first pawn you over to get a few soul devices to use?”

Little Golden Dragon’s tail stiffened, and then, angrily said, ”Woman, you dare treat Lord Heavenly Dog like this, you—you dim-witted con artist!”

”Ahem...” Ji You straightened her face and said seriously, ”Who’s the con artist? Anyway, I’m not, I do not admit it.”

Little Golden Dragon vigorously swayed its tail, ”You are!”

Next to them.

Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, and Liu Fufeng, who were watching Little Golden Dragon and Ji You bicker, all looked at Ji You with concern. Although they tried hard to appear cheerful, Ji You’s current state was indeed very poor, poor enough to be described as dreadful. Her complexion was very pale, an unhealthy pallor, with lifeless eyes and dark circles under them...

As Ji You and Little Golden Dragon quarreled, as they bickered back and forth, suddenly one person and one mechanoid turned their backs on each other in unison, huffing lightly, ”Hmph! I’m not talking to you anymore.”

Chu Jiaojiao leaned over and said, ”Student Ji You, I have 2 mid-level soul devices here for you.”

Shen Changqing said softly, ”I can spare 2 from here as well.”

Yue Qiyuan raised his face and said, ”One mid-level, one low-level, I can give you.”

Because he was short of money, Yue Qiguang was slightly embarrassed, but he still put on a straight face and in a swaggering tone said, ”Seeing how dumb you are, my remaining one, I’ll give you.”

Sheng Qingyan, who had been lying down, lifted his eyelids and said while covering his mouth, ”Don’t even think about Green Glaze Master’s soul device, I still have a few soul devices made by other masters you can use...”

Liu Fufeng, who had been silent, seeing everyone else had finished speaking, shrank his neck and then suddenly said, ”I’m poor now.”

Liu Fufeng saw that Ji You didn’t seem to hear clearly, so he cleared his throat and repeated, ”I’m poor now.”

Ji You: ”???”

Liu Fufeng said, ”I’m poor now, no... no soul devices to lend you.”

Ji You: ”...”

”Poor soul!” Ji You said somewhat speechlessly, ”I wasn’t counting on your soul devices anyway, ha.”

A fallen Imperial Prince who, sitting on countless riches, was now borrowing money and writing IOUs... Who would still hope to squeeze money from his hand? Facing the concern of those around her, Ji You raised her hand, rubbed her temples, and tried to make herself seem a bit more spirited, saying, ”I’m fine, you don’t need to worry.”

Just when Chu Jiaojiao and the others thought she didn’t need their offered soul devices, Ji You said in the next sentence, ”But your soul devices, can I borrow them to use, ha.”

Chu Jiaojiao directly raised her hand, took them out from her space button, and shoved them into Ji You’s hands, ”Here you go, earned them from Student Fufeng, they haven’t even warmed up yet.”

Next.

It was Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, Sheng Qingyan’s turn.

Ji You felt warm in her heart, feeling nothing but moved, deeply moved. She reached out to accept them, her tone sincere, ”Jiaojiao, Xiaoqing, Ah Guang, Ayuan, Spicy Eye... I have nothing to repay you with, but in the future, I’ll definitely have your backs.”

Everyone: ”...”

Yue Qiguang pouted, ”Who needs you to have their back? You weakling.”

Ji You opened her mouth, thought about it, and decided against arguing. This fool Yue Qiguang was so broke and still spared her a soul device, she shouldn’t argue with this fool.

Then.

Yue Qiyuan straightforwardly said, ”Having my back isn’t what matters, the soul device is borrowed to you, not given, remember to return it.”

Ji You: ”...”

Hearing Yue Qiyuan’s words, a red blush crossed Shen Changqing’s cultured face, ”I... I’m also just lending it.”

Ji You: ”...”

Sheng Qingyan rolled his eyes at Ji You, saying, ”Mine is also lent, oh, giving it to you? Don’t even think about it. You not only have to return it but return several times over.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You gritted her teeth and said, ”Aren’t you more ruthless than a loan shark?”

Sheng Qingyan hummed, ”It’s obviously a loan shark, are you borrowing or not?”

Ji You: ”Borrowing!”

Saying this, Ji You suddenly pulled out a stack of IOUs from her space button, looked at Sheng Qingyan and the others, and smiled, ”No money, so I’ll write some IOUs for now.”

Everyone: ”...”

Too much debt to worry about.

Ji You didn’t wait for others to react, she swiftly signed a few strokes, then tore off two sheets and handed them to Chu Jiaojiao, saying, ”Jiaojiao, two for you.”

As she tore off these two IOUs, Ji You held her head high, full of pride and complacency. From her demeanor and tone, those who knew it was an IOU. Others might have thought she was handing over a check for hundreds of billions. For a moment, everyone was speechless.

Then.

Ji You tore off two more, forcefully handing them to a somewhat dazed Shen Changqing, saying, ”Xiaoqing, shut your mouth, these are yours.”

”Ayuan, two for you as well.”

”Yue Qiguang, you poor soul, only one for you, ha.”

”Spicy Eye, here, here, here...”

Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, Sheng Qingyan, holding the IOUs in their hands, were all a bit stupefied...

Ji You said, ”Don’t just stand there, quickly put it away, don’t lose it, if you lose it, I’ll deny the debt, you know.”

Chu Jiaojiao and others: ”...”

Ji You urged, ”This is the IOU of a king standing at the peak of the universe, you won’t find another anywhere else.”

Chu Jiaojiao and others: ”...”

Standing on the side, watching this scene, Liu Fufeng looked at the IOUs in others’ hands, feeling envy and endless jealousy... Then he turned his face, his beautiful eyes fixed on the remaining stack of IOUs in Ji You’s hands.
