The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1575: Chapter 1575: Bored Out of My Mind

In the pitch-black starry sky, it was empty, but who knew how many warships and flying devices were lurking, and how many strong individuals were inside.

Ji You gathered silently with Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and others. No one dared to make a sound, glance around, move, talk, or even think...

In short, everyone sat honestly and properly in the spaceship’s cabin.

Time passed bit by bit, yet there was not a single movement around.

Sitting idly for a while without receiving any instructions made Ji You doubt if she had truly reached the destination. Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan, and others signaled her to ask Senior He Bi.

Ji You thought about it, didn’t refuse, and stood up to re-enter the cockpit.

In the cockpit, He Bi sat upright in the main pilot seat. With his back to Ji You, he seemed to be staring intently at the screen. But as Ji You got a little closer, she found out Senior He Bi was actually asleep?

Asleep?

Sitting so upright and proper, can he really fall asleep?

Ji You was speechless for a moment and called out, ”Senior?”

He Bi lifted his eyelids, glaring at her, ”Can’t you see I’m sleeping? Has no one ever told you that suddenly waking someone up will get you punched?”

”Ahem...” Ji You let out an awkward laugh, ”Go on, continue...”

Saying that, Ji You turned to leave but saw that Senior He Bi had closed his eyes again, seemingly already back asleep. This ability to sleep was a bit stronger than Ji You, as she at least needed to lean against a wall, lie on the floor, or cuddle a pillow or blanket to fall asleep instantly. Ji You was quite impressed with Senior He Bi.

Then.

Ji You walked out of the cockpit, shrugged in response to Chu Jiaojiao and the others’ questioning eyes, and said, ”No instructions.”

Chu Jiaojiao blinked, ”So, are we just going to sit like this?”

Since there might be many military and political figures around, and possibly other hidden dangers, the seven of them could only sit together in silence. They couldn’t discuss the situation about the space rift or even think about it, to avoid attracting unnecessary attention due to excessive spiritual fluctuations.

Ji You said, ”Let’s just sit idly.”

So, she continued to sit down, with her position in the left-center, opposite Liu Fufeng and Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing; on her right side sat Yue Qiguang and Yue Qiyuan, on the left was Chu Jiaojiao. As soon as Ji You sat down, Chu Jiaojiao turned her head tightly staring at Ji You’s face.

That gaze, fiery with passion, seemed to roast Ji You’s face. Ji You kept a straight face, expressionless.

Chu Jiaojiao rested her chin on her hand, ”Just being able to quietly look at Ji You’s face makes this moment feel so beautiful.”

Ji You rolled her eyes, ”Are you very idle?”

Chu Jiaojiao continued to hold her chin, staring dreamily at Ji You’s face, and replied with a chuckle, ”A bit idle.”

Ji You said, ”Then move your eyes away and empty your mind.”

Chu Jiaojiao shook her head, ”No, I can only empty my mind and not think about anything if I keep staring at Ji You.”

Ji You raised her hand and rubbed her forehead.

Opposite, Shen Changqing rubbed his eyes, ”Not thinking about anything is indeed a bit hard to manage.” In this brief moment, it felt so torturous, even more so than facing a Level 9 Star Beast...

Ji You glanced at the others, slightly helpless, ”Alright, let’s play some cards.”

Shen Changqing immediately sat up straight, ”There are seven of us in total.” You only need three to play the card game.

Ji You: ”Mahjong?”

Shen Changqing said, ”Three extra people.”

Ji You said, ”Then let’s form teams of three to play, and whoever loses in rock-paper-scissors doesn’t get to play.”

Then.

The seven of them raised their heads and extended their fists.

Ji You: ”1, 2, 3!”

Everyone threw out their chosen gestures neatly.

All eyes turned to Ji You.

Ji You looked at everyone, who all had stones, while her own was scissors. She almost spat blood, ”You guys colluded to cheat?”

Yue Qiguang raised an eyebrow, smugly looking at Ji You, ”Number 4444, you can sit aside, or if you’re bored, you can watch us show off.”

Ji You ignored him and looked at Liu Fufeng sitting obediently, ”Weren’t you pricking voodoo dolls? Why’d you stop? Do it, I’ll cover for you.”

Liu Fufeng bluntly refused, ”No, I have to do it myself.”

Ji You: ”...”

Then.

The six quickly divided into teams, three to a group, and started playing cards, leaving Ji You to sit idle, occasionally helping one group cheat a bit, then letting slip some intel to another group... In the end, she was unanimously kicked out of the spaceship hall by everyone.

Ji You pouted, muttering angrily, ”I suggested playing cards, and I’m the only one who didn’t play. It’s too unfair.”

As she muttered, Ji You received a warning from six spiritual threads.

Boss: [Master, stop chattering. There’s a spaceship diagonally opposite you, and someone inside has been glaring at you several times.]

Second: [Master, indeed, I clearly saw them roll their eyes three times at you.]

Third: [Master, they’re looking over again.]

[Run!] Fourth jumped off Fifth’s head in a swoop and slipped near the Spirit Core, hiding tightly: [Master, we’re sneaking away~]

Fifth: [Master, take care of yourself.]

Just as Sixth was wagging his tail, about to say a few words, the other five threads pulled him into the Spirit Core. Without having a chance to say a word to the master, Sixth felt quite aggrieved.

Ji You, at that moment, tilted over onto the sofa, staring into space as if pretending to be a fish with protruding eyes.

The next moment, that chilling gaze moved away from Ji You, she didn’t even dare to guess who would dare stare at her like that.

Just when Ji You was about to relax, the peaceful starry sky suddenly shook violently!

Shaking?

Ji You almost thought she was mistaken. As she jumped from the sofa, trying to take a look outside, a hand suddenly reached out from the side, pulling Ji You back down, just as she began to lift her head, only to see the hand above slap her on the head.

Ji You: ”!!!”

What!

Senior, are you having a seizure?!!!

He Bi glared at her, ”Shut up!”

Ji You pointed to her mouth.

She hadn’t said a word.

He Bi paused, ”Close your eyes.”

Ji You simply closed her eyes, but even with nothing visible, she could feel the spaceship she was on violently shaking, like a small broken ship in a stormy sea, and a massive sense of crisis enveloped her.
