The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1022: Chapter 1022: Return Once More

As Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao walked out of the hospital room, they saw Liu Fufeng squatting in the corner against the wall. Liu Fufeng looked up at Ji You and the others, his eyes carrying a hint of resentment, a trace of melancholy, and a smidgen of helplessness...

Then.

Liu Fufeng suddenly said, ”Student Ji You, do you still remember the Black Thorn Bee by Daming Lake?”

Ji You turned to Chu Jiaojiao and asked, ”Jiaojiao, do you remember?”

Chu Jiaojiao shook her head, ”What is the Black Thorn Bee? Where is Daming Lake?”

Ji You shook her head and looked at Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing, and the others. Shen Changqing and the rest shook their heads in unison and said, ”Maybe it’s an unmarked place. In any case, no idea.”

Liu Fufeng looked as though he was about to collapse: ”I... you all... I...”

After he finished, he closed his eyes as if about to faint. At that moment, Ji You caught him with her new arm. Liu Fufeng was stunned and heard Ji You laugh, ”This new arm isn’t bad, at least it can lift weakling Liu Fufeng.”

Liu Fufeng: ”...”

Hearing Ji You call him a weakling, Liu Fufeng oddly felt no anger, and instead calmly asked, ”There are only 10 days left of the holiday, how about my task?”

”Cough, cough...” Ji You waved her hand grandly and said, ”100 Black Thorn Bees, right? No problem, I’ll buy them for you.”

Liu Fufeng: ”...”

There was a sense of helplessness in Liu Fufeng’s pretty eyes as he said, ”No way. Cheating won’t work, Teacher Mu won’t be fooled.”

Yue Qiguang exclaimed, ”You really thought of cheating that old lady?”

A light blush appeared on Liu Fufeng’s fair face, and he whispered, ”I don’t believe you haven’t considered it...”

Yue Qiguang coughed forcefully and said, ”What nonsense, dad never thought about it. Dad is the strongest in the universe, and such a little difficulty won’t knock dad down? Absolutely not.”

Cough, cough...

Even if he thought about it, he couldn’t say it in front of these guys.

”Since we took Student Fufeng’s Soul Device, we can’t just default on the task.” The speaker was Shen Changqing. He looked around and said, ”Why don’t we head back to Bee Head Star?”

As he said this, Shen Changqing’s gaze was directed at Ji You, and the others also turned to Ji You. Ji You calmly said, ”I have already communicated with Senior Ye Liqiang. Now the Southern Hemisphere of Bee Head Star is open to us.”

Chu Jiaojiao said, ”Are we not going back to the Northern Hemisphere? Our group task is to collect the teeth and claws of Black Gold Rats, and we seem to need a few more.”

Ji You thought for a moment and said, ”Let’s finish Fufeng’s task first. After Senior Ye Liqiang notifies us, we’ll head to the Northern Hemisphere.” The Black Thorn Bees are in the south, and the Black Gold Rats in the north, each occupying half of the planet, so Ji You and the others must traverse the entire Bee Head Star.

Once everyone confirmed they were physically fine, they chatted while walking to the spaceship parking area, eventually arriving alongside the spaceship.

The spaceship was fully charged, thoroughly inspected, and had no issues before being handed over to Ji You and the others. Ever since entering Jiao Space Station, Ji You and the others had been under the care of Xiao Liu and two other warriors. Now, as they watched Ji You and the rest about to leave, Xiao Liu and the warriors advised, ”Stay away from the front-line battle zone. Complete your mission on Bee Head Star, then leave immediately without any stops.”

Ji You listened earnestly, nodding, ”Yes.”

Xiao Liu said, ”At most 3 days. If you haven’t completed the mission by then, abandon it and do not linger on Bee Head Star or in the nearby Star Domain.”

Ji You listened intently.

Xiao Liu said, ”I won’t see you off. I can’t stand farewells, just like every time my girlfriend sees me off, she secretly wipes away tears, and I feel so bad and heartbroken.”

Ji You and the others: ”...”

A mouthful of unexpected dog food.

Ji You and the others stood at attention, saluted Xiao Liu and the warriors, and said, ”Take care, seniors.”

Xiao Liu and the others raised their hands in unison, ”Take care.”

Thus, Ji You and her group boarded the spaceship and left Jiao Space Station.

On the spaceship.

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan... six people, divided into pairs. At the moment, brothers Yue Qiguang and Yue Qiyuan were responsible for flying the spaceship and ensuring safety, while the others took turns resting. But in the rest area, surprisingly, there was no one there.

On the other side, the narrow training room of the spaceship was packed with people. Chu Jiaojiao was doing physical rehabilitation, while Shen Changqing and Sheng Qingyan were dressed in protective clothing, training against each other with real guns shooting at each other.

Sheng Qingyan shot an arrow that knocked Shen Changqing to the ground and nonchalantly said, ”Aqing, you’re still a long way off if you want to compare shooting skills with me.”

After speaking, he gently blew on the muzzle and said, ”I’ve never been inferior to anyone in marksmanship.”

Shen Changqing lay on the floor, breathing heavily. The protective clothing and the low-firepower guns used in training meant no fatal injuries, but!!! Even if not fatal, the pain was not minimized at all.

Shen Changqing clutched his chest, it hurt, really hurt...

The next second, Shen Changqing squinted and leapt up, attacking Sheng Qingyan unexpectedly, but Sheng Qingyan had already sensed it, and before Shen Changqing could get close, Sheng Qingyan pulled out a gun and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Shen Changqing narrowly dodged.

The next second.

Bang!

A sudden arrow struck Shen Changqing’s chest and abdomen from behind. The energy arrow hit the protective clothing, making a crisp sound, and then fell to the ground.

Sheng Qingyan squinted and said, ”If I switched weapons, you’d be lying down right now.”

Shen Changqing wiped the sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth, and said, ”Ayan, let’s continue.”

Having always relied on spiritual power in every battle and defense, Shen Changqing was, for the first time, so strenuously and thoroughly training his pure physical strength and agility.

And Sheng Qingyan, who had always been laid-back and whose lifelong wish was to live idly, never paused for a moment and continuously practiced with Shen Changqing.

...

Ji You sat in the corner, continuously weaving a floral rope with her hands.

Yes, just simply weaving a floral rope. She was adapting to her new hand, and the only way to get used to it as soon as possible was to keep using it and exercising it...

At first, it felt very unfamiliar, even somewhat stiff, as if it wasn’t a hand but a stick...

But Ji You kept her head down, her hands never stopping. She wasn’t discouraged, didn’t complain, and didn’t say a word more. She cast aside everything around her, focused entirely on the strands of silk threads in her hands. The light and shadow cast over her, making her silhouette seem increasingly serene and composed.

Liu Fufeng sat in the corner too, occasionally looking here and there, suddenly feeling a bit too idle?

So—

Liu Fufeng raised his hand and started writing and drawing on the floor...

—His drawing skills couldn’t fall behind, either.

In the midst of everyone’s intense training, the spaceship followed its predetermined course and arrived at Bee Head Star.
