The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1020: Chapter 1020: All Are Wounded

Since there’s no issue with Sparrow Yellow, feel free to use it confidently.

Ji You asked, ”Little Golden Dragon, can you use Sparrow Yellow just by holding it, or does it need further processing before use?”

Little Golden Dragon heard Ji You’s question and didn’t answer, but with a bit of caution, said, ”I won’t let you keep it.”

Ji You: ”...”

Little Golden Dragon said, ”I’ll keep it myself.”

Ji You raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, ”Even if I wanted it, it’s useless to me.”

Little Golden Dragon stubbornly replied, ”I’ll keep my own belongings. I’m an independent mecha, I can handle my own matters.”

Yue Qiyuan remarked, ”What a scene of master and servant suspicion.”

Yue Qiguang said, ”Dad vaguely remembers that just a moment ago, you were all about deep master-servant bonds?”

Sheng Qingyan rolled his eyes and said, ”Even the deepest of bonds can’t withstand a 2 billion test!”

”Ahem...” Ji You interrupted the trio’s ruthless sarcasm, pulled a straight face, and told Little Golden Dragon, ”Alright, I won’t keep it for you, you can hold it yourself. By the way, who will you ask to help you use this item?”

Little Golden Dragon happily put away Sparrow Yellow, patted its chest, and blurted out, ”Of course, it’s the repairman...”

After saying that, Little Golden Dragon’s face suddenly stiffened, then it lowered its head awkwardly and a bit uncomfortably swayed its tail, whispering, ”Of course, I’ll find Teacher Mu.”

Ji You said, ”Alright. Keep it safe, and after we return to school, we’ll look for Teacher Mu.”

As for Little Golden Dragon’s downcast mood and obvious embarrassment, Ji You pretended not to notice. Although the others were a bit puzzled, considering that this mecha was purchased by Ji You from Teacher Mu Jianling, the devil’s things must be quite special compared to other mechas...

Therefore, Sheng Qingyan and the others didn’t ask more.

Some matters, if Ji You chooses not to speak of them, there must be a reason. The best way for them to handle it is to put away their curiosity and not ask, see, or think...when the time comes, everything will make sense.

Sheng Qingyan yawned and said, ”I’ll go see if Jiao Jiao has woken up, I’m leaving.”

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.

Yue Qiyuan said, ”I will go check on Shen Changqing’s situation.”

After saying that, Yue Qiyuan followed and walked out.

Yue Qiguang stared at Ji You and asked, ”Idiot number 4444, do you need dad to take care of you personally?”

Hearing this, Ji You shivered with a chill and quickly waved her hand, ”Just leave, hurry up and go.”

Yue Qiguang laughed heartily and said, ”Dad also feels quite uncomfortable. I’m leaving! Dad will be just outside the door, call me whenever you need, dad is always on call.”

Ji You grinned, ”Dare to call yourself dad to my face again? I’ll show you the mighty power of a disabled person!”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

Yue Qiguang pulled the door handle and immediately retreated.

Ji You was left alone quietly in the medical room, the cut wound on her arm hurt, hurt a lot... It wasn’t for Little Golden Dragon, Sheng Qingyan, and the others’ banter earlier, Ji You wouldn’t have been able to ignore this pain.

Sweat dripped from her forehead, one drop, two drops, three drops...

So it turns out——

What seemed like an easy procedure, an organ casually swapped in others’ mouths, has to endure so much pain?

Ji You bit her teeth hard.

Little Golden Dragon worriedly jumped out of Ji You’s arms, leapt onto her head, and clumsily used its tail to wipe Ji You’s sweat away. It looked like it was making a mess, making Ji You’s hair a complete mess, like a bird’s nest.

Ji You said with a dark face, ”Little Golden Dragon, enough, you better roll up your tail, with you here, I feel the pain more, especially a headache.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Little Golden Dragon’s entire body went stiff. It originally wanted to retreat back into the Space Button, but seeing Ji You’s pale face, the sweat continuously forming, and her teeth constantly chattering... It stubbornly refused to go back to the Space Button.

Ji You held onto the bed rail of the hospital bed with her good hand and said, ”Go back quickly.”

Little Golden Dragon stubbornly said, ”I won’t——”

Ji You raised her hand abruptly, picked up Little Golden Dragon, and tossed it back into the Space Button.

The next second.

Ji You gasped in pain, and tears began to flow down...

Drip~

Drip~

Drip~

...

Ji You clenched her teeth, bearing the urge to scream in pain, but!

She couldn’t help it.

Ji You burst into tears, ”Mom...it hurts! It hurts! It hurts...”

”I don’t want to live anymore.”

”It hurts so much!”

”Ah ah ah!!!”

Suddenly——

Little Golden Dragon said, ”Woman, you look really ugly when you’re roaring with teeth bared. But go ahead and cry, I won’t laugh at you.”

”...” Ji You’s whole body stiffened, and then, she collected herself, wiped away the tears, then turned around and with a face devoid of emotion asked, ”Why are you still here?”

Little Golden Dragon flicked its tail and said, ”Because you forgot to cut off my access to open the Space Button.”

Ji You: ”Oh——”

Saying this, Ji You extended her arm again, picked up Little Golden Dragon, and ignoring its protests, shoved it forcefully back into the Space Button. This time, she didn’t forget to disable Little Golden Dragon’s self-access permission.

Now.

The world was quiet.

However, Ji You no longer felt like crying or yelling in pain. After crying out and letting out a wail, although the physical pain hadn’t lessened a bit, she felt much more at ease overall.

Sweat continued to trickle down her forehead.

Ji You sat upright on the hospital bed in the medical room, emptying her mind and resting her eyes.

For a long time.

For a long time.

...

The physical pain subsided a little, then Ji You lay down and fell asleep.

When she woke up, she found that a whole night had passed.

Then.

Yue Qiguang knocked on the door. When Ji You agreed, he pushed the door open and brought in a nutritional meal for Ji You. He said with slight annoyance, ”Idiot, calling you so many times with no response, dad thought you fell into a pit.”

After placing the nutritional meal down, Yue Qiguang said, ”Remember to press the bell if you need anything, I’m just outside.”

Ji You asked, ”How are Jiaojiao and Shen Changqing doing?”

Yue Qiguang said, ”They’re both sleeping like dead pigs, especially Chu Jiaojiao, who just woke up to say one line then went back to sleep.” Yue Qiguang rolled his eyes at Ji You as he spoke, ”They’re fine, you should worry about yourself.”

Ji You ate the bland nutritional meal and said, ”Cough cough... In two days, I’ll be back to being a spirited hero again.”

Seeing Ji You eat heartily and sleep like a pig, and still lively, Yue Qiguang didn’t bother anymore, closed the door, and continued to squat outside Ji You’s medical room. On his left was Sheng Qingyan guarding Chu Jiaojiao, and on his right Yue Qiyuan watching over Shen Changqing...

All three of them squatted outside the doorway in a straight line, each looking up at the sky, daydreaming.

Liu Fufeng squatted in the corner, absentmindedly drawing circles with his hands, looking at the three people at the door and then at the three closed doors. With so many injured, Liu Fufeng felt a bit worried:

——Is my task going bust?

——Is my Soul Device getting washed away?
