The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1574: Chapter 1574: Arrival

He Bi was momentarily speechless, almost suffering a myocardial infarction, because when he turned his head, he realized that Ji You had actually dialed Mu Jianling’s contact number.

Beep~

Beep~

Beep~

After three beeps, the communication request surprisingly connected, and He Bi’s jaw almost dropped in shock.

Seeing Mu Jianling on the communication screen, Ji You’s lips immediately curled up, lifting slightly: ”Teacher... I found you near the Jump Point, you haven’t gone far, right?”

The moment Ji You’s communication request came through, Mu Jianling transferred the spaceship’s navigation rights to Dr. Luo, and in the next second, slipped into her rest cabin.

Although the rest cabin was a bit small and simply furnished, at least from the outside, it didn’t look like it was aboard a spaceship in motion.

Mu Jianling told herself this to calmly accept the call.

Then, she heard the words above, and at that moment, she felt her face slightly crack...

But!

She held back.

Mu Jianling raised her eyelids, glanced at Ji You, and snorted: ”What are you saying? You have free time, and I have free time, huh? Speak your mind, if there’s nothing to say, get lost.”

Ji You wasn’t embarrassed at all, nor did she feel a shred of awkwardness because of these words; on the contrary, she chuckled sinisterly, ”Teacher, don’t disguise it, I can tell, you’re sitting in the spaceship’s rest cabin now, right? Someone like you who loves comfort, even the bed in the staff dormitory must be custom-made in extra-large size, how could you possibly be willing to squeeze into a bed less than 2 meters long?”

Mu Jianling: ”...”

Mu Jianling’s eyelids twitched, feeling her hands itching.

Who would’ve known, this Ji You guy, who hadn’t noticed a thing, her mouth was like a machine gun, rattling off non-stop, ”Space is limited on the spaceship, the conditions aren’t great. Look at that setup, not even a flower, how simple, look at that bedding, is it artificial cotton? How poor... look at that...”

Mu Jianling squinted, her voice extremely dangerous: ”Do you want to die?”

”Ahem...” Ji You immediately straightened her face, said seriously: ”What I mean is, the spaceship is too simple, you’re working hard, Teacher.”

Mu Jianling glanced at her: ”Speak serious business.”

Ji You wanted to chatter a few more sentences, yet Mu Jianling’s voice slightly lowered: ”2 seconds.”

Ji You immediately said: ”Teacher, rest assured, I guarantee, I’ll bring all the students back safely, none missing.”

Mu Jianling’s fingertips trembled slightly, her face indifferent: ”Oh, anything else?”

Ji You shouted loudly: ”Teacher, please take care!”

Mu Jianling said: ”You say so much nonsense, not wanting to graduate? Speak serious business.”

Ji You said: ”Reporting to Teacher, my serious business is done, now it’s personal time—it’s only been a short time since we last met, yet I find myself particularly wanting—you—”

A ”click” sounded, it was disconnected.

Ji You: ”...”

The Little Golden Dragon lying on Ji You’s shoulder snorted: ”I told you not to say such mushy words to Teacher Mu, she could beat you to the point of regretting being born.”

Ji You rolled her eyes, swatted the Little Golden Dragon, shoved it into the Space Button, said: ”Annoying.” She didn’t find these words mushy at all, they were clearly her true feelings.

He Bi’s lips twitched, rolled his eyes rather inelegantly, said: ”You have quite a talent for being annoying.”

”Annoying?” Ji You touched her face, had an opinion on this, said: ”I clearly am quite likable. I even have a group of junior students at school chasing me and wanting to marry me.”

He Bi: ”...”

He Bi’s voice slightly lowered: ”Prepare to jump!”

As soon as he said this, Ji You collected her mischievous grin, meanwhile, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan... also straightened their bodies, fully prepared.

Then.

He Bi piloted the spaceship at extremely fast speed into the Jump Point.

The massive tearing force and strong pressure struck Ji You and the others as soon as the spaceship entered the Jump Point, even someone as physically strong as Chu Jiaojiao turned pale at that moment... Every time crossing a Jump Point is not a comfortable experience, so space travel doesn’t advocate crossing many Jump Points in a short time.

However, to save time, they must cross one, then another...

Upon exiting the Jump Point, Ji You hadn’t calmed down; her face was slightly pale, and her lip corners were cracked, but her eyes suddenly shone as soon as she exited—

Meanwhile, her spiritual power was released at once.

Not only Ji You, everyone took the same action; after serious inspections confirm there’s no danger surrounding them, Ji You didn’t lower her guard.

He Bi continuously held the spaceship’s direction of travel, he accelerated once more—

Ji You, who stayed tense, skillfully utilized the journey process, bit by bit, letting her spiritual power and physical strength get some rest...

Finally—

They reached the pre-set coordinates, where it was pitch black, not a trace of light, a solitary darkness.

He Bi didn’t immediately stop, but instead entered a string of instructions, and after sending a message string, he suspended the spaceship in the starry sky.

At 30 light minutes from the target coordinates, He Bi decisively activated the stealth mode of the X-N3848 spaceship, hence the spaceship arrived silently; it hovered in the starry sky, ordinary detectors couldn’t trace it.

Arriving at the gathering point, they found no one or thing... Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing... everyone held their breath, not daring to let it out.

A while later.

He Bi’s communicator rang clearly.

He Bi opened it, squinted his eyes, said: ”Received a response.”

Ji You asked: ”Is it the military leading this time?”

”Hmm.” He Bi nodded, said: ”They told us to wait in place and not to move around.”

To prevent attracting attention from others, the spaceship’s monitors completely shut down, it’s pitch black at the moment; the whole spaceship only floats in the starry sky, like a log drifting on water.

Ji You couldn’t help but glance at the dark starry sky outside, asked softly: ”Senior, are there many other spaceships around us?”

He Bi glared at her: ”Why do you have so many questions?”

Ji You chuckled, said: ”Curious, y’know.”

He Bi lowered his voice, said: ”You can be curious, but don’t be sneaky looking around, and control those restless Spiritual Silks, don’t let them spread out randomly.”

He used you guys, not you.

Squatting in the spaceship’s corners, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan... all swiftly withdrew their Spiritual Silks, not daring to peek curiously anymore.

He Bi said: ”Don’t listen, don’t look, don’t ask, don’t think, understand?”

Ji You raised her hand, pretended to zip her mouth, immediately said: ”Got it!”
