The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 890: Chapter 890: Bribery

Sure, here’s the translated text:

Mengmeng got praised by Ji You, feeling proud and very happy, it kept circling around Ji You without wanting to leave, occasionally snuggling its head against Ji You.

Ji You casually patted Mengmeng’s head and praised: ”My Mengmeng is truly an adorable little cutie.”

Mengmeng: ”Oooh—”

[Of course!]

Ji You then took out a handful of pasture grass and fed Mengmeng, who extended its tongue and quickly rolled it into its mouth, smacking its lips a few times and swallowed it: ”Mee mee~”

[It’s delicious.]

Ji You chuckled and said: ”This is what I snatched from the mouth of the Cow King at the ranch on planet NY50, Cow King didn’t want it at that time and even fought me, but when I threw a punch, Cow King was knocked down. It couldn’t defeat me, so it accepted me as the Boss. Mengmeng, what you’re eating now is indeed respect grass sent over by Cow King’s underlings!”

Listening to this, Mengmeng scraped the ground hard with its four hooves: ”Ooh ooh—”

[Ji You is amazing!]

This statement truly didn’t deceive the naive Mengmeng. This pasture was indeed snatched from the Cow King’s mouth. At the time, a group of people were releasing the cattle at the cow farm. Ji You saw that the short Cow King had monopolized an area where the pasture grass was particularly lush, thinking Mengmeng would surely love it. So, she boldly ran over to snatch the grass... and ended up getting kicked violently by the Cow King.

...

Cough cough.

This little matter is not worth mentioning to Mengmeng.

So, Ji You continued to stuff pasture grasses into Mengmeng’s mouth, saying: ”Cow King is my underling, but Mengmeng is like my own brother, so Cow King is your underling too!” Saying this, Ji You patted the alpaca’s head proudly and said: ”Now, Mengmeng is an alpaca with underlings!”

Who would have thought, Mengmeng suddenly tilted its head, turned its back, showing its behind to Ji You, and stretched its neck with a displeased expression, opening its mouth: ”Ooh—”

[No! Mengmeng is Ji You’s big brother!]

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You raised her hand to her forehead: ”Fine, fine... you’re my big brother, I’m your little brother.”

Mengmeng continued to turn its back on Ji You.

Ji You felt a bit helpless and said: ”Okay, okay... I’m Mengmeng’s little sister.”

Once those words were said, Mengmeng immediately turned around, barked at Ji You, and buried its head in Ji You’s embrace: ”Mee~”

[That’s more like it.]

Ji You continued to feed Mengmeng, both of them, person and alpaca, opened their mouths, calling ’ooh ooh’ and ’mee mee’, one muttering endlessly. What they said left the hotpot restaurant owner and Liu Fufeng watching a bit confused, was this...

Was this truly seamless communication?

Regardless of what others thought, Ji You and Mengmeng had a great time chatting.

After a long while, Ji You and Mengmeng finally stopped, then Mengmeng, having had its fill of grass, was soothed by Ji You’s sweet talk. Ji You prepared to leave when suddenly the hotpot restaurant owner entered, carrying a tray full of food, and said: ”Ji You, these are fried chicken legs and fries I made by myself, please try them.”

Ji You paused in her steps, immediately turned head: ”Ah, boss, how could I possibly accept this?”

The hotpot restaurant owner laughed: ”Compared to you looking after Mengmeng and your company, what’s this little bit of food? We in the food business have plenty of food.”

Ji You smiled politely: ”I haven’t really looked after Mengmeng, Mengmeng has been quite adorable.”

The hotpot restaurant owner forcefully handed over the fries and chicken legs and wings to Ji You, saying: ”Eat. I enjoy watching you youngsters have a good meal.”

”Oh my... I can’t, I’ve had so many meals at your place this semester already, it’s break time now, how can I shamelessly eat your food again...” Saying this, Ji You reached out, took a chicken leg and bit into it: ”Smells so good.”

Liu Fufeng nearby: ”...”

The hotpot restaurant owner said with a smile: ”Satisfying isn’t it?”

Ji You replied: ”Very satisfying indeed.”

Liu Fufeng watched as Ji You ate, sitting on a soft sofa on the side, with a straightened posture, hands resting on his legs, looking as if he was receiving an important envoy with a very serious demeanor.

While eating, Ji You felt the strange gaze from Liu Fufeng beside her, her fingers froze slightly, she quickly turned around and tentatively asked: ”Student Liu Fufeng, do you want a chicken leg?”

Liu Fufeng shook his head.

Ji You was surprised: ”Not eating?”

Liu Fufeng nodded: ”Mm.”

Ji You was shocked: ”Why?”

Liu Fufeng looked at Ji You, his black beautiful eyes showing an expression that’s hard to describe, he opened his mouth, wanted to say something but felt it impossible to articulate, suddenly closed his mouth again.

Ji You: ”???”

Suddenly, Mengmeng opened its mouth: ”Ooh—”

[Fu Feng has nothing to eat.]

That shout from Mengmeng, if listened carefully, even carried a hint of schadenfreude. Ji You tilted her head: ”Mengmeng, you knew too?”

Liu Fufeng: ”Cough cough...”

Upon hearing Liu Fufeng’s cough, Mengmeng wanted to call out in excitement but thought to give its owner some face. So, Mengmeng closed its mouth, simply blinking while staring at Ji You.

[Go ahead and guess.]

[Guess correctly and Mengmeng blinks once, guess wrong and Mengmeng blinks twice.]

Ji You: ”???”

A long pause, Ji You raised her hand to her forehead: ”Sorry, Mengmeng, I can’t catch your eye cues.”

Mengmeng saw this, and anxiously spun in circles: ”Mee~”

[Dumb!]

Taken by surprise, Ji You looked at the anxious Mengmeng spinning in circles, again at Liu Fufeng raising his head towards the sky at a 45-degree angle, she was truly at a loss for words: ”Ah ah ah... can’t guess.”

After saying this, Ji You bit into a chicken leg: ”Smells so good.”

Liu Fufeng who was gazing up at the sky from a 45-degree angle, only exposing his beautifully curved side profile, suddenly rolled his throat, then quietly swallowed his drool.

For unknown reasons, Liu Fufeng couldn’t eat, seeing that the plate of chicken legs, wings, and fries were all for one person, Ji You squeezed some ketchup onto the fries and stuffed it into her mouth leisurely: ”Your cooking is excellent, boss.”

The hotpot restaurant owner said with a smile: ”Glad Ji You likes it, my fried chicken and fries are famous throughout the whole Alliance. But my skills are no secret, if Ji You wants to learn, I can teach you.”

Ji You: ”!!!”

Ji You asked excitedly: ”Would you really teach me?”

Casually eating and drinking, along with learning secret skills?

The hotpot restaurant owner nodded with a smile: ”Sure does.”

Liu Fufeng’s ear lightly twitched.

When both the hotpot restaurant owner and Liu Fufeng assumed Ji You would agree in an instant, unexpectedly, Ji You suddenly refused directly: ”No way, these are boss’s livelihood skills, I won’t learn.”

Liu Fufeng, hotpot restaurant owner: ”???”
