The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1532: Chapter 1532: Conflict

Not bringing the Little Golden Dragon into the Space Rift was a spur-of-the-moment decision by Teacher Mu.

Yesterday, she suddenly asked Ji You to send the Little Golden Dragon for a check-up, meaning for Ji You to temporarily store it with her. Who knew the Little Golden Dragon realized her plan and sneaked back to Ji You’s side.

Ji You was really in a bit of a dilemma. She believed Teacher Mu wouldn’t act without reason; there must be another purpose.

But the reason?

Teacher Mu didn’t explain.

Having been by Teacher Mu’s side for so long, Ji You had pretty much figured out her temperament. Once she decided not to talk about something, she would never change her mind, no matter how much she was pressed; she wouldn’t tell Ji You.

Ji You simply stopped asking.

Then, faced with the Little Golden Dragon who had dirt on her and was so proud its tail might reach the Sky, Ji You shrugged helplessly and said, ”Threatening me won’t work; you should go threaten Teacher Mu Jianling.”

The Little Golden Dragon rolled its eyes, ”If I could threaten her, why would I threaten you?”

Ji You: ”...”

The Little Golden Dragon glared at Ji You disdainfully, ”I didn’t expect you to be such a foolish woman! You’ve let me down.”

Ji You felt a bit itchy-handed, ”I see you’ve had too much to drink and are looking to defy the Sky, right? Go ahead and take the video to Mengmeng; if he listens to you, I lose.”

Not that it would dare?

The sword of Damocles is most threatening before it falls.

If it really has the guts, let it find Mengmeng! This mech, who’s full of sappy TV dramas, truly going through with it means this time its head is stuffed with glue.

Faced thus, there’s no fear.

After weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Ji You became even more calm: ”Go ahead.”

”You!”

”You!”

”You wretched woman!” The Little Golden Dragon was obviously infuriated, managing only these words after a long pause, then it stomped hard, stepped on the window sash, and lunged fiercely at Ji You’s face!

That kick was both fast and sudden, and Ji You was caught off guard, ending up kicked in the face.

Ji You was dumbfounded.

The Little Golden Dragon was stunned for a moment too, seeming to wonder why its obvious fake move wasn’t detected...

But there’s no time for that!

The suddenly out-of-control Little Golden Dragon fiercely stomped on Ji You once more, then quickly turned away, charged forward, and leapt off the windowsill!

”Hey, hey, hey...!!!”

Ji You was in a daze.

”Suddenly so angry?”

”Also, that guy’s eyes were red like that, was it crying?”

Ji You rushed to the windowsill and looked down, only to see the tip of the Little Golden Dragon’s tail vanish in a flash, losing sight of the entire mech.

”Where’d it run off to?” Ji You appeared calm, but her heart was a bit panicked. She almost couldn’t resist jumping out the window, but seeing that height, at least several hundred meters, an ordinary human without a mech by her side, how could she dare jump?

Ji You hastily ran outside, hair disheveled, not even bothering to change clothes, just throwing on a coat and running out in her slippers.

After she went out and searched the dormitory area, she found no trace of the Little Golden Dragon.

Uh-oh, could it have cried from being mad, felt embarrassed, and secretly hid in a corner crying?

Ji You suddenly felt heartbroken.

As for whether the Little Golden Dragon took the video to the hotpot restaurant? This idea popped up in Ji You’s mind only to be immediately dismissed.

The Little Golden Dragon may look arrogant, but it actually has style, and would never do such a thing.

So where could it have gone?

Wearing slippers, Ji You covered the dormitory area at the fastest speed, not seeing the Little Golden Dragon.

”Hey~”

”Don’t be mad.”

”Come out, hey...”

...

No response whatsoever, perhaps because Ji You’s shouting was a bit loud and disturbed the people upstairs. A window suddenly opened and someone threw something at Ji You’s head!

At a glance, it was a rotten egg.

From ten meters away, fortunately, she ran fast.

Ji You wanted to curse, but then heard someone from upstairs: ”Poor dead, ghost shouting and wailing in the dead of night again, next time I’ll throw stinky poop.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You scratched her head, having no time to deal with Sheng Qingyan, that idiot, and couldn’t figure it out after thinking for a while.

Spiritual World.

Fourth lay atop Fifth’s head, lazily wagging its tail, seeing its master suddenly in a panic and completely disoriented, couldn’t help but grumble: [Master, that Little Dog is so haughty; you said you couldn’t help it and let it find Teacher Mu on its own, it’s surely gone on its own.]

Ji You: ”!!!”

Ji You slapped her forehead, ”I’m going now!”

She turned, found a Floating Car, switched to active mode, and cranked the speed to the max!

Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!

Along the way, receiving several warnings!

[Overspeed warning! Overspeed warning! Overspeed warning!]

Beep—

Arriving at the dormitory area where Teacher Mu was, in the interstellar era, there’s a shortage of everything except for land and houses. The school provides each faculty member with a standalone villa. Ji You parked the car, then suddenly noticed the flashbulb above the Floating Car; with a ”click,” she received a fine notification.

[Ji You, student #4444, due to speeding within campus, fined 10 points, please take heed next time.]

Ji You: ”...”

With a sullen face, Ji You rushed to Teacher Mu’s dormitory door to press the doorbell, only to discover the door opened automatically. Feeling slightly curious, she remembered that the last time she was here, Teacher Mu had granted her access, allowing free entry and exit for half a year. Ji You stepped inside.

She hadn’t walked two steps when she heard intense arguing.

”What does it have to do with you?”

— It’s the Little Golden Dragon.

”Ha~ It’s true, it has nothing to do with me, after all, he didn’t ask my consent before dying. But for you to die, it costs my money. If you wish to die, first disassemble and return your pile of junk to me, then find a quiet place to die, stay out of my sight.”

— It’s Teacher Mu Jianling’s voice, she even let out a cold laugh.

”You!”

The Little Golden Dragon was at a loss for words, even guilty.

”I want to go, you can’t stop me.”

”You’re welcome to try.” Mu Jianling looked at it coldly and said, ”See if you’ll outrun me or if I’ll dismantle you faster.”

The Little Golden Dragon was at its wit’s end again.

Humans are absurdly unreasonable and irrational, and this kind called females are even harder to deal with.

The Little Golden Dragon stayed silent, stubbornly confronting Mu Jianling.

Mu Jianling was also silent and cold.

The atmosphere was both serious and dreary.

Ji You wanted to interrupt it, but as she lifted her leg, before stepping, she suddenly heard the Little Golden Dragon speak emotionally: ”Then dismantle me, I don’t want this broken body anyway; I will ask Ji You to deliver my remaining shell to his burial ground, to rest with him forever.”

Ji You’s heart trembled.

Because after finishing, the Little Golden Dragon cried.

It really cried.

At that moment, Ji You truly felt heartache.
