The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 984: Chapter 984: Door Key

Little Golden Dragon volunteered to go inside to investigate the danger, Ji You straightened up and asked it: ”Can you do it?”

Upon hearing these three words, Little Golden Dragon, who was initially a bit indifferent, suddenly tensed up, raised its eyebrows at Ji You with a dark face, and said with a rising tone: ”Woman, are you doubting your mecha?”

Ji You’s mouth twitched slightly.

This tone...

Listening to it, how increasingly does it sound like—Woman, are you doubting your man?

Cough cough...

Ji You put on a serious face and said: ”No, I’m not doubting you, but I’m worried about you.”

All the arrogance in Little Golden Dragon dissipated in an instant when it heard the last three words, it lifted its head and wagged its tail, slightly disdainfully saying: ”Who needs your worry? Woman, do you know what the mecha standing in front of you really means?”

”...” Ji You didn’t make a sound.

Little Golden Dragon akimbo said: ”It means invincible! It means number one strength in the Universe!”

Ji You: ”...”

Next to her, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and Sheng Qingyan glanced at each other, seeing the same sentiment in each other’s eyes. Shen Changqing and Sheng Qingyan said nothing, but Chu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but sigh: ”Ji You’s mecha seems to resemble her personality too, boasting just comes out so naturally...”

”Cough cough...” Ji You squinted her eyes, slightly dissatisfied: ”What nonsense are you talking about! When have I ever boasted? All of my words are based on facts.”

Shen Changqing muttered: ”But you claiming to be the king of the Peak of the Universe is not a fact.”

Ji You’s ears perked up, she snorted lightly: ”But I will be the king of the Peak of the Universe sooner or later! I’m making this claim in advance based on the inevitable fact that I’ll become it in the future.”

Shen Changqing opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Upon hearing this, Chu Jiaojiao clutched her chest, eyes full of stars, saying: ”Ji You is the most good-looking king in the Universe, but—” she changed her tone, her voice slightly lower, full of momentum: ”The strongest in the Universe is me—Chu Jiaojiao.”

From the communicator, Yue Qiguang’s snort suddenly came through: ”I say, that’s enough guys, haven’t you gotten tired of rambling on for so long? Are you going to enter the Taoist gate or not?”

”Have you decided who goes in first?” Sitting in the monitoring room, Yue Qiguang’s spiritual power connected with the monitoring system there. This system’s internal program is too complex, with a vast monitoring scope, and sitting there, for Yue Qiguang, merely connecting to it is already a considerable burden, and he still needs to sift through the deep sea of data to extract effective and useful information.

Difficult.

”And—” Yue Qiguang’s forehead was beaded with sweat, almost gritting his teeth: ”The strongest in the Universe is your dad, me!”

After saying this, the high-intensity spiritual load made Yue Qiguang’s hands and feet begin to tremble slightly, even his lips were quivering, and the voice that came out was trembling: ”It’s your dad, Yue... Yue... Qiguang!!!”

”Alright.” Yue Qiyuan’s cool voice interrupted Yue Qiguang: ”Never have I seen the strongest in the Universe speaking with teeth chattering. Go play on the side.”

Yue Qiguang’s mouth twitched slightly, but obediently disconnected from the spiritual connection with Dock 6’s monitoring system. As soon as he disconnected, it was as if he had suddenly taken off a mountain range, falling into gentle, delicate seawater, and all the weight in his body seemed to be drawn away.

Yue Qiyuan’s dark eyes fixed on the monitor, speaking into the Star Network group chat interface with a steady voice: ”Even after a carpet search with the monitor, the pit and door you mentioned have not been found. It can be confirmed that this is a kind of material capable of completely blocking signal detection, meaning it can shield Star Network signals as well as other signal probes. Once the four of you go in to investigate, neither the idiot Yue Qiguang nor I can provide you assistance from the ground; take care of yourselves. If after four hours we still can’t contact you, Yue Qiguang and I will immediately seek rescue.”

Ji You made a decision: ”Alright.”

After she finished speaking, Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and Sheng Qingyan looked at each other, Ji You beckoned to Little Golden Dragon, and it jumped onto her palm, squatting...

Ji You said: ”Not sure of the danger level, let Little Golden Dragon go try first.”

When she said this, it wasn’t a question but a resolved decision.

Little Golden Dragon was slightly dissatisfied and said: ”Woman, how many times have I told you not to give me random nicknames, my name is Heavenly Dog, please call me Lord Heavenly Dog.”

Ji You casually petted Little Golden Dragon’s head and said: ”Okay, Little Golden Dragon.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Unreasonable, a woman who doesn’t understand words!

Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan had no objection to Ji You’s arrangement either.

Ji You patted Little Golden Dragon and said: ”Go.”

Little Golden Dragon lifted his head proudly, wagged his tail, leaving only a back view for Ji You.

Ji You’s gaze fixed on Little Golden Dragon, never blinking, her back arched, feet slightly poised forward, ready to rush over at the first sign of anything abnormal—

Behind the door was a small path paved with alloy, the width of the path was less than 60 centimeters, for tall guys like Sheng Qingyan and Shen Changqing who were over 2 meters tall, they had to slightly hunch over to pass comfortably, but for Little Golden Dragon, who was shrunk down to the size of Ji You’s palm, the narrow space did not affect it at all, it swaggered right through.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Little Golden Dragon walked and stopped as it went, seemingly large-hearted and without ulterior motives, but with every step and pause, it intentionally or unintentionally observed the surroundings, moving neither fast nor slow until it reached the end of the path—before a closed door.

The door was a copper one, with two giant dragons engraved on the lock, both mouths open spitting out Dragon Balls.

Little Golden Dragon stopped.

From the other end of the corridor, Ji You’s voice came: ”Did you find anything?”

Little Golden Dragon disdainfully said: ”Nothing significant, just that the dragons carved on this lock are too ugly, not even a tenth as handsome as me.”

Ji You raised her hand to massage her forehead: ”Stop being vain. Can the lock be opened?”

Little Golden Dragon said: ”I’ll give it a try.”

Then, it reached out and picked up the Dragon Ball spat out by the dragon on the left side, this Dragon Ball was made, polished, and carved from Jade Stone, exquisite, translucent, and beautiful.

Seeing Little Golden Dragon’s action, Ji You was startled: ”Damn! Mecha, take it easy, don’t just grab things recklessly without warning.”

Little Golden Dragon snorted: ”I’m not grabbing recklessly, it clearly says this is the key.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You, incredulous, took a deep breath: ”You just believe it because it’s written?”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”
