The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 497: Chapter 497: Righteous Onlookers

What to do?

Cheng Yu’s forehead was beaded with large droplets of sweat.

In his panic, he could no longer care about his own little schemes. Just as Cheng Yu was hurriedly about to send a message to the Master, suddenly——

The lights were bright, and the shop was blooming with flowers. A petite girl slowly emerged from the crowd and suddenly bellowed, ”Everyone get out of the way!”

Her words were deafening!

However, how could an excited audience be intimidated by a girl?

But——

Before the girl’s words even touched the ground, she suddenly raised her hand, thrust her arm violently, and a giant chopper flew out diagonally, tracing a straight line, grazing the earlobes of viewers in its path... straight toward the counter.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The intense reverberations hammered into everyone’s hearts.

Everyone, staring at the Big Chopper now embedded in the counter, turned their heads in unison to look at the girl who had suddenly made a move with such an imposing manner—

Ji You nonchalantly walked towards the center of the counter, then lifted her hand, grabbed her Big Chopper, and with her eyes sharp as a falcon, she scanned the abruptly silenced crowd and crisply said, ”Sorry, my hand slipped.”

Audience: ”...”

The Red-haired man stared at the counter, now with a huge hole from the Big Chopper, and suddenly felt joy. This girl was clearly here to disrupt the scene, just like himself.

An ally.

Definitely no mistake.

Thus, with a gleam in his eye, the Red-haired man was about to speak...

Only to see Ji You suddenly lift her hand, pointing to the Red-haired man, and loudly said, ”You, Red-haired, come here for a second!”

Huh?

The Red-haired man was rather confused: Is this an ally?

Ji You frowned and pressed impatiently in a louder tone, ”Stop blinking those little eyes of yours! Yes, you! I’m telling you to come over!”

Red-haired man: ”???”

Originally not wanting to pay attention, but in his bewildered state, the Red-haired man didn’t understand why, ever since this petite girl had spoken, he felt his surroundings were filled with countless invisible Blade tips, an icy, bone-chilling cold spread from the soles of his feet...

Was this intimidation?

So powerful!

The Red-haired man had a feeling that if he did not comply with her, these intimidating ’Blade tips’ would immediately rain down on him, possibly erasing his Spiritual Body in an instant.

So——

Under his bewilderment, the Red-haired man unwittingly walked up to Ji You.

Ji You eyed him and asked, ”Did you just ask everyone whether any Master could make a Soul Device out of something worthless like Companion Stone?”

The Red-haired man opened his mouth.

Ji You casually stroked the blade and loudly said, ”Did you?”

Red-haired man: ”Yes... I did ask that.”

”Alright!” Ji You nodded her head, suddenly snapped her fingers around her, and asked, ”Is there anyone here who was Lucky Goose that bought a Soul Device from the Qingyou Shop last time? Please give a shout!”

”Me!”

”Me!”

”And meee...” Sheng Qingyan stomped her foot and hurriedly pushed through, ”There’s me too!”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You’s eyebrows twitched, deliberately ignoring Little Cutie, turned to the other two, and asked, ”What material was used for the Soul Devices you purchased last time at the Qingyou Shop?”

The two immediately said loudly, ”Companion Stone!”

Wow~

This statement, like a babbling brook, instantly sobered up many onlookers.

That’s right!

Everyone had flocked here to grab Soul Devices because they’d heard that true True Soul Artifacts had been sold here.

And—

The Soul Devices from last time, I heard they were made from Companion Stones. That’s why they caused such a sensation.

This, hadn’t many people already known?

So, why are people suddenly being instigated to lodge a complaint against the shop for fraud?

Ji You didn’t give people time to think, and again asked, ”Did you get your previous Soul Devices verified by an authoritative institution? Are you carrying the appraisal results with you now?”

The two men smiled and said, ”We’ve got it, not only the appraisal results, but also the Soul Devices we bought last time.”

As they spoke, one of the burly men hurriedly lifted his hair next to his ear to reveal a pink earring on his earlobe—

A rugged-looking, burly man wearing a pair of pink earrings... That’s kind of... Spicy Eye...

But—

The intervention and the provided soul artifact appraisal certificate from these two instantly doused the excited crowd with a bucket of cold water.

Ji You turned to the red-haired man, word by word saying: ”About that Red-haired, you got your answer now! Can you accept that the Green Glaze Master can turn trash like Companion Stones into Soul Devices, or can’t you?”

Red-haired: ”...”

Damn it!

A backstab from supposed allies!

This is the enemy!

Sheng Qingyan leaped over in a bound, stepping harshly on Red-haired’s foot, hands on her hips as she scolded: ”You red-haired piece of crap, what’s your motive for messing up the Master’s shop so suddenly?”

Red-haired: ”...”

His foot in pain, the Red-haired man frowned and muttered: Where has this sissy lunatic popped out from?

As Red-haired was in a tough spot, Ji You suddenly pursed her lips, snickering with a ”Hehe,” and said: ”Of course, it’s good and right for everyone to question potential swindlers. We can’t eradicate fraudsters, but as long as we all work together, we will expose the fraudster and leave them nowhere to hide. So Red-haired bro’s actions aren’t all that overboard—”

Huh?

Red-haired, in shock: ”???”

Allies?

Red-haired was bewildered, and while he was still confused by this turn of events, Ji You suddenly raised her hand, patting Red-haired’s shoulder, and asked crisply: ”Hey Red-haired, where did you make your fortunes? You must’ve made a tidy sum with this gig, right? Next time you’ve got work, bring your bro along.”

Red-haired: ”...”

Audience: ”...”

Cheng Yu immediately stepped forward, loudly rebuking: ”Exactly! Making money through conscienceless deeds, did a dog eat your conscience? Why would you defame our family’s shop? Speak!”

Red-haired man opened his mouth: ”...You... You’re talking nonsense!”

Sheng Qingyan opened her mouth to spray: ”Talking nonsense my foot! You’re just a rotten egg! The Companion Stone Soul Device that people bought last time is still fine... Green Glaze Master can’t be a fraudster...”

Cheng Yu seized the moment to explain: ”Everybody listen up, our shop guarantees a tenfold refund for any fake goods. Red-haired questioned our ability to present an appraisal, and first of all, I must clarify that Star Network has a rigorous inspection process for all goods listed for sale. Secondly, we have the appraisal results, and here they are—”

Having said that.

Cheng Yu hurriedly showcased the appraisal results he made; the audience looked at them and nodded in agreement. The appraisal seemed legit.

Cheng Yu stated: ”We welcome everyone to oversee our products at any time. After purchase, the goods can also be taken for professional institution appraisal, but we will take necessary actions against malicious complaints and sabotage, and we will definitely file an appeal.”

The situation was quickly brought under control. For a while, many loyal fans of Qingyou Shop took the opportunity to speak up, loudly condemning: ”It must have been a paid job, I felt something was off about a few people next to me, chanting slogans as if wanting to beat up and kill the shop, I wouldn’t know better, I’d think their husband or wife had been seduced by Green Glaze Master or something.”

”This dirty money can’t be made.”

...

The crowd buzzed with comments, and Red-haired along with a few other instigators were squeezed out until they had nowhere to hide.

Ji You also received high praise from the crowd for bravely standing up to contradict, making her a little embarrassed. She cleared her throat and loudly announced, ”Everybody, no need to admire me, I stood up because I’m just a justice-filled, enthusiastic melon-eating bystander.”
