The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 768: Chapter 768: The Troubles of Taking a Wife

In the cafeteria.

After quietly finishing lunch, Ji You stood up and said, ”I’m going to see Military Supply Officer Li, anyone else coming?”

Yue Qiguang frowned and asked, ”For what?”

”Cough cough...” Ji You said, ”To discuss some business.”

Everyone: ”???”

Sheng Qingyan rolled his eyes disapprovingly and said, ”Poor dead, what kind of business can you possibly have?”

What a weirdo.

Sheng Qingyan occasionally thought he himself was weird, but after being with 4444 for so long, he realized that he was merely a bit quirky, whereas Ji You was the real oddball.

Ji You patted his Space Button and said, ”I have a big batch of Star Beast materials! Did you guys forget?”

The materials, including those obtained from slaying Star Beasts on NY50 planet and scavenging corpses during the voyage, had to be dealt at some point.

Ji You had originally planned to sell the materials after returning to Lanyue Star, but now that they had reached the Military Supply Department, and there was a high demand for materials here, he decided to leave the materials with the department even if the price was lower.

With this reminder, everyone suddenly realized.

Sheng Qingyan immediately stood up and said, ”I’m going too.”

Yue Qiguang: ”Daddy needs to sell materials too.”

Yue Qiyuan: ”Let’s go together.”

Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Zhang Ye, Xuzhou, Lou, and Lance all expressed their desire to go.

Thus, the group promptly headed towards the office of Military Supply Officer Li.

It wasn’t far, and as they arrived, Ji You was just about to knock on the door when she noticed it was slightly ajar, after a brief hesitation, she raised her hand and knocked:

Suddenly—

”Oh ancestors!”

”Tian~”

”Tiantian listen to me, don’t go!”

”As long as you don’t go, I’ll do whatever you ask.”

The voice of Military Supply Officer Li, filled with urgency and panic, it was hard to imagine such a plea from a robust man about two meters tall...

”I’m not going, so it’s your turn?” Jiang Tiantian’s voice was calm, yet stubborn, ”One of us has to go!”

Military Supply Officer Li yelled urgently, ”I’ll go!”

Jiang Tiantian glanced back at him, ”You weakling, can’t even handle two punches from me, going there means death.”

Military Supply Officer Li: ”Then I can’t let you go!”

His dark eyes were already tinged with red as he spoke, causing Jiang Tiantian’s normally steely heart to soften, ”You, you’re just so stubborn...”

Military Supply Officer Li choked up, ”I’m just that stubborn.”

Jiang Tiantian rolled her eyes, ”No abilities yet so stubborn.”

Military Supply Officer Li forced a smile, ”Exactly. If I weren’t stubborn, how could I have married such a beautiful wife?”

Jiang Tiantian: ”...”

Jiang Tiantian said, ”Alright, I’m a Mechanical Warrior. Obedience is my duty. Since I’ve accepted the mission, I must carry it out immediately.”

Military Supply Officer Li grabbed her hand tightly, ”The mission was assigned to both of us, but you accepted it without my consent, which is against the rules.”

”This is invalid!” Military Supply Officer Li stubbornly clenched Jiang Tiantian’s hand.

Jiang Tiantian sighed, ”Old Li... let go of my hand.”

Military Supply Officer Li stayed silent, not letting go,

Then—

Jiang Tiantian reached forward with one hand, lifted him up, and executed a classic shoulder throw.

”Bang!”

”Bang!”

”Bang!”

...

Ji You and others quickly avoided any suspicion. When they found that Military Supply Officer Li and Jiang Tiantian were having a private conversation, they immediately moved back a hundred meters. However, even at that distance, the clang from inside the alloy door could still be heard, causing everyone to shiver involuntarily.

Zhang Ye gasped: ”I can’t imagine how painful that was...”

Lou gritted his teeth: ”Preliminary judgment, at least four bones are fractured.”

Lance added: ”The buttocks must be cracked too.”

Everyone: ”Hiss—”

Ji You opened her mouth: ”...what a ruthless heart.”

Yue Qiguang’s eyelids twitched: ”So that’s someone else’s wife, huh? Cough... luckily I don’t have a wife.”

As soon as this statement was made, it drew glances from Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiyuan, Shen Changqing... all at Yue Qiguang.

Ji You shook her head and said, ”Forever alone folks should be conscious of their status. Don’t worry, by my judgment, you won’t have such troubles.”

Yue Qiguang retorted angrily: ”You fool, don’t talk nonsense! How could a genius like dad have trouble finding a partner?”

Ji You: ”Because you’re too silly.”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

Yue Qiguang clenched his fist: ”Number 4444, come meet your doom!”

Before he could throw the punch, with a creak, the office door was pushed open from inside. Jiang Tiantian, dressed in a Mechanical Warrior Suit, stepped out. Seeing the students lined up, she was slightly taken aback. Then, she smiled, ”Do you need something, students?”

Ji You silently glanced at her hand, secretly marvelling that her hand didn’t look that strong; how could she possess such explosive power? Besides, she’s as sweet as her name suggests, looking gentle as honey, yet her Combat Power is terrifying...

Not just Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiyuan, Shen Changqing... especially Yue Qiguang stared at Jiang Tiantian’s palm, his expression a mix of respect and fear, extremely complicated and hard to describe.

The students’ subtle glances could not escape the perception of an old warrior like Jiang Tiantian who had served for decades.

Jiang Tiantian smiled and said, ”Are you looking for Military Supply Officer Li? He’s inside.”

”Ah?”

”Yes, yes, yes...”

Ji You hastily said, ”We are here to discuss...something with Military Supply Officer Li.”

Jiang Tiantian said: ”Go ahead.”

With that, she turned around, ready to leave.

”Bang!”

The door was fiercely pushed again. Military Supply Officer Li ran out and yelled, ”Jiang Tiantian, I order you to come back!”

Jiang Tiantian’s body trembled, but she did not turn around.

Military Supply Officer Li said: ”You must come back within three days! Did you hear me?”

Jiang Tiantian stood still for a while before pretending to be slightly impatient, ”Heard it.”

Saying this, Jiang Tiantian walked forward quickly.

Military Supply Officer Li kept staring at her retreating figure until he could no longer see her shadow, then he retracted his gaze, rubbed his sore eyes, and turned to the students: ”Cough cough... don’t give me those strange looks.”

”Hitting is caring, scolding is love, you singles wouldn’t understand.”

”Cough cough cough...”

”Cough cough cough...”

Ji You and the others came back to their senses, saying, ”Senior is right.”

Military Supply Officer Li straightened his face, seriously said: ”Don’t make a big fuss, I’m fine.”

Ji You and the others: ”Right, you’re fine.”

Military Supply Officer Li: ”I’m really fine!”

Ji You and the others: ”Yes, yes, yes...”

Military Supply Officer Li suddenly sighed, feeling a bit emotional, ”Although my wife and I work in the same office, we actually don’t see each other for days or weeks. Now she’s gone out, who knows when I’ll see her again.”

*Sigh*

Yue Qiguang whispered softly: ”So marrying a wife is so troublesome, maybe dad better not marry in the future.”
