The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1731: Chapter 1731: Unsellable Goods

The Little Golden Dragon stomped on top of He Bi’s head, it was mad, very mad... and also very sad. The fact that Teacher Mu would actually let He Bi throw it away made it feel impossibly miserable.

”Idiot!”

Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded right next to its ear. The Little Golden Dragon lifted its head slightly and met Ji You’s smiling eyes.

The Little Golden Dragon was a bit nervous.

”Are you stupid or what?” Ji You’s voice carried a laugh. She said, ”You even believe that scumbag He Bi?”

The Little Golden Dragon opened its mouth: ”But——”

Ji You raised her hand with a smile and patted its little head, saying, ”If we were really going to throw you away, would we say it out loud? That was obviously just messing with you. Besides——” Ji You’s gaze darkened: ”You’re my Mecha. No one dares to throw you away without my permission.”

With that line from Ji You, the Little Golden Dragon instantly stopped panicking. Thinking it over, that did make sense. Then, its face was suddenly covered with dark lines: ”I knew it! I knew it was like this! You were deliberately teasing me!”

”Hmph!” The Little Golden Dragon said, glaring at He Bi. ”Other than Ji You, I don’t trust anyone here.”

He Bi let out a soft chuckle and said, ”Yeah, I was just joking around, lying to you.”

The Little Golden Dragon was puffed up with anger.

Ji You forced herself to stay awake and said, ”What I’m more curious about is why you said Teacher Mu spent fifty years trying to sell it and still couldn’t, and then I ended up the sucker?”

”Ahem...” He Bi didn’t keep them guessing and went straight to it: ”To become the Heavenly Dog’s pilot, the requirements are extremely high. Regular people can’t reach that bar. For the past fifty years, Teacher Mu has been searching for a pilot for Heavenly Dog. Unfortunately, she only found one candidate. You’ve all heard his name—Admiral Bai Ji. But Admiral Bai Ji had no interest in it and turned her down.”

Ji You frowned.

She had a bad feeling.

This unsellable stock, could it be that even if you tried to give it away, no one would take it?

Sure enough.

He Bi said, ”At first, Teacher Mu planned to sell it to Admiral Bai Ji for one hundred million. Admiral Bai Ji said it was too expensive and he couldn’t afford it, so Teacher Mu lowered the price to fifty million, ten million, one million... Later she said she’d just give it to him for free, and Admiral Bai Ji still refused.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You felt her heart start bleeding.

If she had also played hard to get back then and said she didn’t want it on purpose, wouldn’t she have gotten a Biological Mecha for free too?

She was doomed.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became.

”You... you’re talking nonsense! It definitely didn’t happen like that...” The Little Golden Dragon’s face flushed bright red in an instant. Not only its face, but its whole body started turning red, like a big lobster fresh off the grill...

He Bi spread his hands and said, ”That’s exactly what Teacher Mu told me herself. Otherwise, how would I know who you really are?”

The Little Golden Dragon stomped hard, one foot stepping right on He Bi’s head: ”You... you’re lying... Teacher Mu wouldn’t do that.”

It had been asleep for fifty years. It had no idea what had happened in those fifty years, nor did it know that between Teacher Mu and Admiral Bai Ji, something like this involving itself had taken place.

It had been pushed at Admiral Bai Ji as a product, and in the end, Admiral Bai Ji actually didn’t want it...

This...

That damned man!

What a blind fool!

Hmph.

Seeing the Little Golden Dragon so angry it was about to lose it, Ji You’s expression turned very serious. She said, ”Senior, stop joking around. Tell me, why did you suddenly decide to expose the truth about the Little Golden Dragon?”

He Bi reached out and grabbed the Little Golden Dragon down. The dragon’s eyes were practically spitting fire, but it still tried hard to stay calm, saying, ”Senior He Bi! No matter what you say, I absolutely won’t believe that Teacher Mu would say or do something like that.”

He Bi’s eyes held a hint of a smile. ”So you trust Teacher Mu that much? Even after all this, you still wouldn’t doubt her?”

The Little Golden Dragon: ”Hmph.”

This was the person the repairman liked, the person the repairman would give up his life to defend.

The repairman had once said that in this life, he’d always been walking down the wrong path, but liking Mu Jianling was the only thing he’d ever done right.

The Little Golden Dragon pressed its lips together, stubbornly glaring at He Bi.

He Bi suddenly said, ”What I just said was indeed something Teacher Mu told me, but at the same time she also said something else——she said that no matter how much trouble you cause, no matter how you stir things up, she wants me to do everything in my power to protect you. Humanity can live without He Bi, but it absolutely must have you.”

The Little Golden Dragon: ”!!!”

He Bi said, ”I swear on my life that I’ll see you safely back to the human world.”

The Little Golden Dragon: ”!!!”

He Bi’s voice was indifferent, as if he were talking about eating or drinking water. He raised his eyes, looking not only at the Little Golden Dragon, but also at Ji You, at the shocked Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing and the others. His voice stayed calm as he said, ”You all more or less should’ve noticed something strange about the Little Golden Dragon, right?”

Chu Jiaojiao nodded and said, ”Since it’s a Mecha Teacher Mu gave to Ji You, I already knew it wouldn’t be simple.”

Yue Qiguang raised a brow, his tone arrogantly wild: ”Dad knew this Mecha was special, but Dad isn’t interested.”

Yue Qiyuan spoke evenly, ”No matter how special it is, it’s not suitable for me. I’d rather have a customized Mecha of my own, and it has to be one made by Master Song Qingfeng.”

Sheng Qingyan lifted her eyelids and said, ”I knew ages ago, okay~ Can’t be bothered, okay~ Why should I care about some noisy Mecha, okay~ Is the food not tasty, okay~ or are the games not fun, okay~ Eating, lazing, and lying flat is the most beautiful way to live, okay~”

Shen Changqing stared at the Little Golden Dragon with curiosity. ”I knew the Little Golden Dragon wasn’t just a Mecha with an intelligent system. But since Ji You and Teacher Mu never took the initiative to explain, that meant there was no need to pry. I’ve been holding back my curiosity. Oh, right...” Shen Changqing suddenly turned to Ji You, and for the first time showed the ’fangs’ of an honest person: ”Ji You, can I borrow your Mecha in the future?”

The Little Golden Dragon suddenly felt a chill. For the first time it realized that, among everyone here, the scariest one was actually the seemingly gentle and harmless Shen Changqing.

Shen Changqing forced a smile. ”I won’t do anything else, just disassemble and reassemble it a bit.”

The Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

At that moment, seeing the Little Golden Dragon suddenly arch its back in tension and its face go completely dark, almost turning into a Little Black Dragon, Ji You finally spoke up: ”Personal belongings are not for loan.”

The Little Golden Dragon relaxed at once.

Shen Changqing looked a bit disappointed and said, ”If you won’t lend it to me to disassemble and reassemble, you could at least lend it to me to observe, right? I... I promise I’ll keep my word.”

Ji You said, ”No deal.”

The Little Golden Dragon snorted at Shen Changqing: ”You heard her, didn’t you? Ji You said no deal. Stop targeting me from now on.”

Shen Changqing said, ”All right then.”

Lounging crookedly in the corner like a transparent person, Liu Fufeng suddenly spoke: ”Weren’t the Biological Mecha already destroyed? Why is there still one here?”

With that, the atmosphere on site tightened again.

Liu Fufeng tilted his head, wearing an innocent expression as he said seriously, ”I mean it. When I was the Imperial Prince of the Galaxy Empire, I saw information about this in the Emperor’s study. It said the first Biological Mecha, along with its creator Ye Lin, had already been completely destroyed.”

Silence.

A deathly silence.
