The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1080: Chapter 1080: Token of Love

”The brilliance of life lies in how one chooses to spend it,” Ji You concluded firmly.

Liu Fufeng, who had been staring at the starry sky, suddenly turned his head, his eyes bright as he looked at Ji You. With a smile on her face, Ji You said, ”You chose Lanyue Star because you genuinely like it here, right?”

Liu Fufeng nodded, ”Yes.”

With a bright smile, Ji You said, ”In fact, even though today’s technology and medical levels are so advanced, with the average lifespan of a person being 300 years, the world changes in an instant, with too many potential dangers. Who knows if they’ll live to 300? So there’s no need to worry about such things. For me, I seize the day! I only do what I want to do, and only what I can do.”

Liu Fufeng’s eyes shone, ”Yes.”

The smile on Ji, Spiritual Guide, You’s lips was cheerful, as she continued, ”Student Fufeng, in my opinion, you can also do a lot of things that you want to do. For instance, do you want to become a Mechanical Warrior?”

Liu Fufeng opened his eyes wide and said nothing.

Ji You asked, ”Did you become Teacher Mu Jianling’s student, joining the Combat Department, because it’s what you truly wanted to do? Or was it because you had no choice?”

Hesitation flashed across Liu Fufeng’s face.

Ji You said, ”From my understanding of you over this period, it seems you don’t reject becoming a Mecha warrior. Moreover, I see your combat talent is strong; you’re not as weak as you appear.”

Liu Fufeng’s fingertip trembled but quickly returned to normal. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to deny it.

Ji You confidently said, ”You don’t need to hide it. I’m sure you must have imagined battling Star Beasts in the starry sky with complete abandon, right?”

Liu Fufeng hesitated for a few seconds before finally nodding in admission, ”I... yes.”

”Nothing is impossible,” Ji You said, and as Liu Fufeng lowered his head, she suddenly reached out and patted Liu Fufeng’s shoulder, saying solemnly, ”Young man, go for it.”

Liu Fufeng opened his mouth, thinking Ji You would surely say a lot of encouraging words, but after waiting and waiting, it was just this brief sentence. Liu Fufeng gently nodded, ”Okay.”

Though his tone was low and deep, and his voice was light, when Liu Fufeng said this one word, his eyes were very dark, very bright, sparkling...

The atmosphere, gradually easing from the deadlock.

Then.

Seizing the good vibes, Ji You suddenly asked, ”Can I know now what you gave Teacher Mu Jianling?”

Liu Fufeng: ”...”

The scheme could be so long, buried so deep, and twisted?

Ji, Spiritual Guide, You, raised her head, maintaining eye contact with Liu Fufeng, her eyes very bright, with no coercion or force, just looking at Liu Fufeng with a sincere, sincere gaze.

”Even if you don’t tell me, can you tell me what you’re worried about?” Ji You earnestly asked.

Liu Fufeng opened his mouth, seeming a bit at a loss for words.

Ji You quietly watched the other party.

After a while of silence, Liu Fufeng suddenly said, ”Teacher Mu said not to speak about it.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You asked, ”If you speak about it, what are the consequences?”

Liu Fufeng gritted his teeth, ”The consequence is cleaning the toilet for a semester.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

Liu Fufeng said, ”It’s cleaning the cows’ toilets.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You speechless, ”Does our school have cows?”

Talking about this problem, Liu Fufeng was also very troubled, ”I also asked, and she said she could immediately get a few from the Agricultural College — in my name.”

Ji You: ”...”

Liu Fufeng awkwardly said, ”Student Ji You... do you understand my predicament now?”

Ji You gritted her teeth, ”Devil Mu is really harsh.”

The night was nice, the wind was gentle, Liu Fufeng suddenly said, ”That thing is a Star Beast crystal.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

Ji You: ”You—” You are willing to clean cow toilets for a semester?

Ji You was feeling quite moved, but suddenly—

Liu Fufeng said, ”Teacher Mu said if I couldn’t keep it secret and told you, you’d be punished by cleaning the toilet for a semester.”

Ji You: ”...”

The smile on Ji You’s lips froze, ”Damn!”

Ji You’s pupils widened, ”Me?”

Finally getting this sentence out seemed to lift a big stone pressing on his heart, clearing the hesitation from his face and leaving him with a sense of obvious relief, nodding, ”Yes.”

Ji You’s face darkened, ”Is she crazy?”

Liu Fufeng: ”Cough, cough...”

”Bah!” Ji You quickly said, ”No way, even if I’m crazy, Teacher Mu definitely isn’t.”

Liu Fufeng said, ”She has no time to supervise what we’re saying, at least not now. But—I am very troubled, very conflicted, originally I didn’t want to say anything.” Saying this, Liu Fufeng glanced at Ji You with a slightly resentful look, meaning quite obvious—

you relentlessly pressured me into saying it, I didn’t intend to put you in trouble.

As it was, Ji You directly asked, ”What type of Star Beast crystal is it?”

Liu Fufeng thought for a moment, ”It’s from a Flame Beast.”

”Oh—” Ji You was familiar with this stuff, having used Stinky Grass to mess with the poor thing during a simulation group match; Ji You blinked, ”Anything special about it?”

Liu Fufeng said, ”Level 12.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

The Star Beast classification always ranged from Levels 1-10, with 1 being the lowest, weakest, and least dangerous, and 10 being the strongest, terrifyingly so. Now, there was something Level 12?

Ji You frowned, ”Did you say something wrong?”

Liu Fufeng shook his head, ”No mistake.”

Ji You: ”What’s the reasoning?”

Liu Fufeng pursed his lips, ”Levels 1-10 are just a human assessment method, but there are some very special, very rare Star Beasts whose actual abilities and destructive power towards humans exceed the measured Level 10. But because they’re rare and often distant from humans, and very dangerous, they are difficult to measure. Our technology struggles to truly determine their level, so we just give rough estimates. Some of these Star Beasts even hide their actual level, lurking... All this makes it rare for us to discover Star Beasts beyond Level 10. But never finding them doesn’t mean they don’t exist.”

”Just like this vast starry sky, there are many, many areas humans have not yet discovered and explored...” Liu Fufeng quietly spoke, and when he talked about this, there was a rare calmness in his tone, ”The Flame Beast crystal Teacher Mu took was identified posthumously. The crystal was very beautiful, more exquisite than any gem, and it was also—the engagement ring of the current Emperor of the Galaxy Empire and the former Queen Xia Man.”

Ji You’s pupils contracted.

Liu Fufeng: ”Cough, cough... which is to say, my dad and mom’s token of love.”

Ji You: ”...”
