The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1483: Chapter 1483: Welcome Back

As soon as the time was up, Yu Song stood up and swiftly returned to the spaceship.

Inside the spaceship, Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, and others were all waiting in the hall. Upon seeing Yu Song, Ji You asked, ”How was it? Any special news?”

Yu Song was slightly stunned.

He had not informed anyone that he was going to the passenger hall to look for the latest news. He thought he was being very meticulous, only to find out that all his classmates had thought of the same thing.

Ji You said, ”Spicy Eye mentioned you took a little break in the passenger hall.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Song quickly summarized the news he had heard and then said, ”No abnormal news, and I haven’t heard anything about those ’eyes’.”

The so-called eyes were actually the mutated mayflies.

At that time, the dense, boundless mayflies forced the spaceship to change its course, with Principal Hong personally steering to avoid disturbing them.

If just a few of those mayflies entered another area, it would already cause quite a bit of trouble.

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Ji You said, ”These mayflies have short lifespans; who knows, maybe they’ll die off before they start causing trouble?”

Chu Jiaojiao agreed, ”Exactly, no news is the best news.”

Shen Changqing nodded lightly and said, ”With such a large swarm of mayflies, the speed of movement must be slow. I suspect they didn’t cause any harm and have already vanished on their own.”

...

Everyone was discussing positively, clearly showing an ostrich mentality. But what else could they do? They were too weak, much too weak. In this situation, their only option was to flee.

After hearing the favorable news from Yu Song, no one was in the mood to hang out in the spaceship hall, bragging and chatting aimlessly. Thus, in the next second, everyone scattered.

Their speed in leaving was so fast that it even caught Yu Song slightly off guard.

Yu Song stood stunned for a moment and saw that everyone was heading to their respective training rooms. Soon after, various sounds of exercise could be heard from within the training rooms.

Yu Song didn’t linger but went into the cockpit.

Next.

Yu Song initiated the broadcast to inform all passengers that the spaceship was about to set sail.

Soon.

The spaceship broke through the atmosphere and entered outer space, then accelerated rapidly, leaving the range of Yangjiao Star in a matter of moments.

In the two largest, most luxurious, and comfortable first-class cabins on the spaceship, Principal Hong quietly monitored the students’ situations. After a brief nap, Dr. Luo began to peruse a large amount of data, preparing to conduct research. On her desk was a vial of black liquid obtained from Ji You and others.

...

Due to the urgent need to return to Lanyue Star, the entire flight was sped up. Yu Song’s nerves were constantly tense, not daring a moment’s rest. Fortunately, he was very pleased when the spaceship successfully arrived at Lanyue Star.

When the spaceship landed at the Lanyue Star Military Academy’s designated dock, Yu Song let out a long breath of relief and then collapsed in the cockpit.

”What a weakling.” Yue Qiguang frowned, descended from the co-pilot seat, and carried the exhausted Yu Song out of the cockpit on his shoulder.

At the entrance, Ji You asked, ”Is he alright?”

Yue Qiguang raised an eyebrow slightly displeased, ”With a papa like me here, what could go wrong?”

Ji You cast a sidelong glance at Yue Qiguang and said, ”It’s because you are here that I worry.”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

The two bantered as others came out of the training rooms. During the consecutive days of flying, aside from scheduled meal and sleep times, everyone was engaged in training, not daring to relax for a single moment.

Upon disembarking from the spaceship, looking at the familiar scenery, every plant, every flower, every tree felt intensely familiar and nostalgic. Ji You approached a giant flower nearly as tall as her and sniffed it gently, feeling incredibly refreshed: ”Ah, Lanyue Star is the best, even the flora seems so cute.”

Before her words were finished, the flower suddenly retracted its petals.

Snap!

With a clear, crisp sound, several beetles, initially perched on the flower’s center sucking nectar, were crushed to bits. Its true target was clearly not these tiny insects, but Ji You’s head.

However, Ji You had already withdrawn when the flower moved.

The flower’s aim missed, and it could only sway its branches and leaves. Soon, a noise akin to sawing emanated from the closed petals, thoroughly pulverizing the beetles within.

Ji You chuckled, ”These foolish flowers, always trying to get a piece of my head. Do they think my brain is so easy to lay hands on? Dream on.”

Yue Qiyuan and others were speechless; every time the sawtooth flowers bloomed, Ji You delighted in teasing them. And lacking the ability to think, the sawtooth flowers never realized her mischievous intent, falling for it every single time without exception.

Sheng Qingyan glanced at her and pouted, ”Boring.”

The spaceship had already arrived at Lanyue Star Military Academy, and now everyone would return to their dormitories, not needing to concern themselves with each other.

Without saying a word, Sheng Qingyan raised a hand, summoning a self-service floating car, intending to get on. Behind her, there was a sudden call from everyone, ”Wait! Take me with you!”

The next second.

Everyone squeezed in, quicker than the next.

Sheng Qingyan sneered, ”You’re all a bunch of poor dead old misers.”

Used to it.

Sheng Qingyan didn’t drive away these fair-weather friends. While ordering the car to depart immediately, she glimpsed Ji You standing outside the car and blinked.

Strange, the usually fleet-footed Ji You didn’t get on the car?

What was going on?

Sheng Qingyan hurriedly stopped the floating car, poked her head out of the window, and asked, ”Hey poor dead, are you getting on or not? If not, then I’m really going to leave.”

Ji You kept her eyes fixed on a spot and didn’t move. Hearing Sheng Qingyan’s voice, Ji You waved her hand and said, ”You go ahead, I wouldn’t sit in your clunker.”

Sheng Qingyan felt a bit choked.

Well.

Sheng Qingyan commanded the car to set off immediately: ”Go on, don’t mind that heartless poor dead.”

With that.

The floating car swiftly departed.

On the spot.

Ji You remained standing, feeling surprised yet slightly excited as she looked at the person standing before her, ”Senior!!! How coincidental!!!”

Shi Ya stood next to a floating car, her lovely face revealing an unhealthy pallor, exuding an aura of aloofness that warned others not to approach.

Upon hearing Ji You’s voice, Shi Ya’s expression remained unchanged. She looked up at Ji You and said, ”Not coincidental, I was waiting for you.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

Ji You widened her eyes in disbelief, thinking she misheard. Did Senior Shi Ya actually wait specifically for her? How could this be? It certainly didn’t seem like something Senior Shi Ya would do.

Yet, it was exhilarating.

Ji You looked up, gazing at Senior Shi Ya with a smile on her lips and eyebrows, and said, ”Senior, I’m back.”

Shi Ya nodded faintly, ”Hmm.”

She stood there straight, her expression giving nothing away, yet she subconsciously clutched her palm while speaking in an exceptionally indifferent tone, ”Welcome back.”
