The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1752: Chapter 1752: Rotten Idea

Qing·Lv·Shi remained silent, its deep green eyes reflecting a disbelief so terrifying and flustered.

A long time, a long time...

It did not say a word because it couldn’t find its own voice.

Ji You, however, was beaming with laughter, without a shred of guilt for scaring others silly. On the contrary, she was rather smug, saying, ”Don’t panic, it’s just a little trick, it definitely won’t harm your Life Line.”

Qing·Lv·Shi still said nothing.

”Alv, what’s wrong?” Ji You tilted her head, looking all innocent and pure, saying: ”What’s wrong? Are you still there? Give me a sound, okay?”

”Alv...”

”Hey...”

”Old Green, I know you’re overjoyed knowing I’m going to visit your place, so happy that you can hardly contain yourself, but really... you don’t need to be so excited. What kind of relationship do we have? We’ve already become good friends, I’ll just treat it like my own home and won’t stand on ceremony with you.”

”Old Green... cough, cough... we’ve already become good brothers, so I won’t be a stranger. From now on, I’ll call you Old Green directly. Look at my relationship with Old Niu; we never knew each other until we fought, now he’s extremely close to me.”

Speaking, Ji You patted Old Yellow Bull on the head, asking: ”Old Niu, you’re willing to pull the spaceship for me, right?”

Old Yellow Bull: ”...”

Ji You said: ”Speak up, Old Niu.”

Old Yellow Bull: ”Moo—”

[I love it!!!]

[Baring teeth!!!!!!]

[Click! Click! Click!]

Ji You directly ignored the menacing look on Old Yellow Bull’s face, giggling, ”See, Old Green, did you see? My relationship with Old Niu is solid, this is how not knowing each other turns into a joyful encounter.”

Old Yellow Bull: ”...”

It had watched quite a few human films and TV shows, but undoubtedly, this human bug was even more evil and shameless than the villains in the movies.

For a moment, Old Yellow Bull actually felt a bit sympathetic towards that Old Green.

Wondering if Old Green’s face would turn charcoal black with anger?

Old Yellow Bull tilted its head in thought, but its running pace didn’t halt, continuing to charge in the direction Ji You pointed.

At full speed, Old Yellow Bull was actually faster than the spaceship, so when it carried X-N3848 toward the destination, that speed pierced the air resistance, creating layers of bright light.

From afar, it seemed to brighten the boundless grey mist.

Inside the circular building.

Qing·Lv·Shi, worthy of being a tribe leader, remained completely still under the barrage of words from Ji You.

After a brief silence, Qing·Lv·Shi glanced at the black dots on its Life Line, those black dots, like small sesame seeds, very tiny, easy to overlook if not looked at closely. In fact, it seemed the enemy had used some method to numb Qing·Lv·Shi’s senses, so it didn’t even know when or how these black dots were placed...

Could it have been after being captured by that human?

But, how did she bypass my supervision?

Though the Life Line was grabbed by her, it had always been under Qing·Lv·Shi’s control, and this line was a part of its body, deeply connected and inseparable.

Any slight anomaly on the Life Line and it should be able to sense it immediately.

Why?

Why?

Why?

Qing·Lv·Shi’s mind was filled with countless questions, but no amount of confusion could change the current situation; it was in mortal danger.

If handled improperly, the outcome would be death.

The urgency of time wouldn’t allow it to continue to collapse; it had to take measures immediately to prevent Long Aotian and other humans from approaching its base camp.

Qing·Lv·Shi immediately ordered, ”Make arrangements, quickly figure out a way to force them to change course and not get near Taoyuan Center.”

”Lord...” said a green-eyed subordinate seated below with some hesitation, ”If we absolutely must force them to change direction, we would only drive them near the plantations, but the plantations are where we just placed a new batch of seeds, just waiting for...”

Qing·Lv·Shi furrowed its eyebrows, ”Other directions won’t work?”

”No.” replied the respectful green-eyed subordinate, ”For those directions, we’ve informed the Blue, Yellow, and Red tribes; if these humans encounter them, our plan for a three-pronged result will be ruined.”

Not only would it be ruined, it might even backfire, and we’d be targeted by the other tribes.

Qing·Lv·Shi’s face darkened another shade.

In less than a second, it raised its hand, ”Then redirect the humans towards the plantations and find a way to separate that bull along the way.”

”Yes.”

The next second, a group of green-eyed ones left with the order, personally executing the task.

Then.

As Qing·Lv·Shi was about to arrange the next item, a playful voice came from its ear: ”I heard it.”

Qing·Lv·Shi: ”!!!”

This time, the fear on its face was genuine, even more terrifying than discovering black dots on its Life Line!

Because without using the Life Line, Long Aotian could actually hear the conversation between itself and its subordinates.

This—

How could this be possible?

It must be impossible.

Qing·Lv·Shi forcefully feigned calmness, yet still couldn’t suppress the storms raging within its heart!

If everything I say can be heard by Long Aotian, then what privacy or strategy do I have left?

With trembling fingertips, Qing·Lv·Shi barely regained its voice, ”Lord Long Aotian... what’s your purpose?”

Previously, it always thought to strike first, but at this moment, it had no choice but to go on the defensive.

Ji You laughed heartily, ”Old Green, don’t be nervous, I said it before, I’m just very curious about alien civilizations and want to bring my little buddies to visit your place, have some tea, eat some snacks, see the local specialties... that’s all, nothing else on my mind. So, don’t be nervous.”

”And—”

”You want to change our direction, I advise you not to bother, unless you’re willing to cut off your Life Line, otherwise, wherever you hide, I can find you.” Ji You sat atop the bull’s head, watching the continually changing clouds in the distance, laughing as she said: ”Why not, you try cutting the Life Line? Once it’s cut, our connection will be completely severed.”

Qing·Lv·Shi’s face turned iron black.

This damn rotten idea.

She claimed to treat me as a friend, a brother, but would a brother send me to die?

The Life Line absolutely cannot be cut.

If cut...

It’d be the end for me.

At present, the plan is to find a way to stall these humans’ actions, then unite with other tribes to deal with them together.
