The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018: The Art of Language

”Hmm?” Ji You, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, and Sheng Qingyan all turned their heads to stare at the Little Golden Dragon. The Little Golden Dragon tilted its head, thinking hard. After a moment, it wagged his tail and said, ”I don’t remember.”

Ji You helplessly said, ”Think carefully, at such a critical moment you’re dropping the ball? You can’t be like this.”

Upon hearing this, the Little Golden Dragon frowned, slightly displeased, and said, ”Woman! Are you questioning my ability to think?”

Ji You said, ”Correct. I am questioning your thinking ability.”

The Little Golden Dragon narrowed its eyes, speaking in a dangerously low voice, ”Do you even know who you’re questioning?”

”Oh——” Ji You said, ”Yes, a little disabled thing.”

The Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

The Little Golden Dragon was almost furious: ”You— you—”

It flicked its tail sharply and turned its back: ”You’re despising me!”

Ji You’s tone slightly lowered: ”Mecha—”

The Little Golden Dragon, still with its back turned, didn’t respond.

Ji You lowered her voice, speaking in a solemn tone: ”Turn around and look at me, look at your Master— ask the question again.”

The Little Golden Dragon snorted angrily, still not turning around.

With a hint of obvious amusement in her voice, Ji You said, ”Even if it is a little disabled thing, it is the cutest little disabled thing in the world and also my one and only.”

The Little Golden Dragon’s tail twitched slightly, as if it wanted to turn around but seemed to hesitate, concerned about maintaining the dignity of being the first Biological Mecha, reluctant to turn.

So—

Everyone watched as the Little Golden Dragon’s body turned halfway, then pulled back, then halfway again, pulling back again... over and over...

”Mecha, turn around. I’ll keep waiting for you to come back,” Ji You looked at the Little Golden Dragon’s proud yet hesitant back and laughed softly. ”A lifetime is so long, what’s waiting for a while?”

The Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

The Little Golden Dragon shivered all over and instantly turned around, stomping its foot forcefully, glaring at Ji You with a helpless annoyance, saying, ”Damn it! You irritating little fairy!”

Ji You opened her arms, and the Little Golden Dragon, though slightly hesitant, still rushed into Ji You’s embrace like a gust of wind. Ji You raised her hand, gently rubbing its head, softly saying, ”What does being disabled matter? In my eyes, you are you, the one and only you, irreplaceable you, the you I will accompany through both wind and rain—”

The Little Golden Dragon stared wide-eyed in shock: ”Woman—”

Ji You’s voice grew lower, her tone increasingly gentle: ”All the good things in the world should belong to me, including you.”

”!!!” The Little Dragon’s eyes widened even more, its mouth opening: ”!!!”

Ji You grabbed the stunned Little Golden Dragon, shook her half-arm, and said, ”Alright, alright, look, I’m disabled too. If you fear remaining disabled, I won’t fix this hand. I’ll stay disabled with you.”

The Little Golden Dragon: ”!!!”

Wide-eyed with shock and fear, the Little Golden Dragon hurriedly said, ”Woman! I won’t allow it! I won’t let you harm yourself like this! Anyone, including myself, I wouldn’t let them hurt you!”

Hmm?

This comment, why does it sound familiar? However, no matter, Ji You squinted her eyes, chuckling, ”Okay.”

One person and one Mecha, instantly filled with harmony and joy.

...

Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan were a bit dumbstruck watching this scene unfold between one person and one Mecha. Sheng Qingyan couldn’t help covering his eyes, saying, ”Having a Mecha with self-awareness sure is troublesome, no thanks.”

Yue Qiguang also covered his face: ”It’s dad’s loss. Dad lost because he can’t coax people, things, or Mechas. Dad should learn more about the art of language in the future.”

Yue Qiyuan, slightly puzzled, looked at the Little Golden Dragon and said, ”4444 unit, isn’t this Mecha a bit too human-like?”

Ji You tucked the Little Golden Dragon back into her arms, saying, ”It’s just a bit middle-school, reads too many novels, can’t help it.”

Yue Qiyuan exasperatedly said, ”You shouldn’t have given it so many permissions. Today it’s novels, tomorrow it’s TV dramas, and the day after, it might just spend your money and squander your assets.”

Ji You: ”...”

The Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

The Little Golden Dragon jumped out of Ji You’s embrace in frustration: ”Yue, you listen, if you dare to talk nonsense again, tomorrow! No! Immediately, I will erase your Yue Group from this Universe!”

Yue Qiyuan: ”...”

Yue Qiyuan turned to Yue Qiguang and Sheng Qingyan: ”Does its system also have a boasting module?”

Sheng Qingyan covered his mouth: ”Could be?”

”Probably so.” Yue Qiguang gazed at the sky, uttered a sentence, then quickly turned to Yue Qiyuan: ”Yue Qiyuan, do we have a Yue Group? How come I don’t know? Could it be—”

Thinking of a possibility, Yue Qiguang darkened his face and said, ”It must be dad secretly starting a company with his private stash behind mom’s back.”

Yue Qiyuan: ”...”

”No way!” Yue Qiguang seemed very certain that their dad was hiding a private stash, suddenly clenched his fist and said, ”I have to find the Yue Group! With private money, how can you enjoy it alone? The men of the Yue Family must share the wealth together!”

Yue Qiyuan: ”...”

Yue Qiyuan turned to Ji You, gritting his teeth: ”Control your Mecha, it’s speaking without a filter.”

Ji You laughed: ”Why don’t you control your brother, his intelligence is astounding.”

Yue Qiyuan: ”...”

The scene became quite awkward, awkward in its silent silence. Only Ji You and the Mecha Little Golden Dragon in her arms seemed completely unfazed, still exchanging cheesy romantic lines.

For example:

Ji You: ”I forbid you from overthinking.”

Mecha: ”I also forbid you from speaking nonsense. If you want to speak nonsense, it should only be to me.”

Ji You: ”I’m not speaking nonsense. Every word I say to you comes from the heart.”

...

Then.

Sheng Qingyan couldn’t hold back anymore and jumped up first, loudly asking, ”Hey poor dead, ask your Mecha if it remembered anything or not?”

”Ah?” Ji You quickly halted her dominant boss routine, patting the Little Golden Dragon, saying, ”Little thing, did you remember?” Then , she squinted her eyes, lowering her voice, ”It doesn’t matter if you can’t remember, as long as you remember me.”

The Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

The Little Golden Dragon shivered, covered in goosebumps, and snapped at Ji You: ”Woman! Keep quiet! Why do you always steal my lines, leaving me with nothing to say? You remember, from now on, don’t say such nonsense to me.”

The Little Golden Dragon said this, disdainfully curling its lip: ”Greasy!”

Greasy is a new term it recently learned. The Little Golden Dragon felt it was particularly fitting and vivid when used on this woman Ji You... However, as its mouth expressed disdain, its tail was wagging happily.

Then—

Turning around to face Sheng Qingyan, the Little Golden Dragon immediately put on a different face, its expression quite truly disdainful, saying: ”I haven’t remembered, but I seem to recall seeing him before, not knowing where, and not just once, at least five or six times.”
