The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 925: Chapter 925: Give Up on You, Maybe in the Next Life

Ji You felt an emotion called ’sadness.’ She turned around and looked at Little Golden Dragon, who collapsed in the corner of the wall, its spirit and vitality seemingly drained in an instant, looking utterly listless.

A deep sadness spread with the wind, through the air, to all directions.

...

Ji You opened her mouth and looked at Teacher Mu Jianling: ”Teacher, may I ask who the repairman is?”

Mu Jianling’s face showed little expression; she looked at Ji You and said coldly, ”The master and creator of the Heavenly Dog.”

Although she had already guessed a bit, upon hearing a definitive answer, Ji You truly understood why this Biological Mecha was so sad. She wanted to say something to comfort the Little Golden Dragon immersed in sadness, but after opening her mouth, she didn’t know what to say.

After a while, Ji You turned to Mu Jianling and asked, ”Teacher, um... how should we handle this situation?”

The Mecha was extremely sad, and Ji You, who deemed herself its future master, was genuinely a bit flustered at this moment.

Mu Jianling said, ”Shut it down.”

”...” Ji You was slightly speechless and said, ”Isn’t shutting it down directly a bit crude and simple?”

Mu Jianling asked, ”How complex and gentle do you want it to be?”

Ji You scratched her head and said, ”Shutting it down directly only numbs temporarily; when restarted, it’ll still be sad, right?”

Mu Jianling’s tone was extremely cold: ”If you want never to be sad, dying would be best. Once dead, you’ll never be sad again.”

Ji You was surprised and raised her head when she heard this, but Teacher Mu’s expression was very ordinary, not different from before. Yet... yet this kind of dispiriting talk from Teacher Mu... inexplicably made Ji You feel very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable...

An indescribable, unexplained atmosphere lingered between Mu Jianling, Ji You, and the Little Golden Dragon.

For a long time.

Ji You braced herself and said, ”Teacher, although I agree with what you said, rather than avoiding the emotion of sadness, I am willing to accept and embrace sadness; isn’t that what life is about? A mix of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy... you have to taste them all to not waste this existence.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Jianling lifted her eyelids to glance at Ji You, then rolled her eyes and said, ”An ignorant and fearless optimist.”

After saying this, Mu Jianling pursed her lips tightly.

——Actually, dying would be best.

Ji You grinned at Mu Jianling and said, ”Being happy is a day, being unhappy is also a day, so you might as well be happy.”

Mu Jianling’s expression was slightly stunned when hearing this; long ago, someone stood before her, brazenly telling her such naive words, and then he died.

Ji You’s bright smile and eternally energetic, boundless appearance were so much like that person.

Then.

Mu Jianling lowered her eyes and began to scold: ”What are you doing standing in front of me, hurry up and leave.”

”Ahem!” Ji You kept a straight face and said, ”Teacher, you forgot, you promised to let me test drive the Biological Mecha.”

Little Golden Dragon in the corner suddenly jumped up upon hearing, and defiantly said: ”Woman, recognize your status, my Lord Heavenly Dog would never choose such a weak Master, absolutely impossible!”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You took a deep breath and said, ”What if I insist?”

Little Golden Dragon shouted, ”Woman, you are playing with fire!”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You took another deep breath and said, ”I’m not playing with fire; I want to extinguish the fire. Teacher Mu, do you have a knife?”

Mu Jianling hugged her elbows and said, ”No.”

Ji You clenched her fist and approached Little Golden Dragon: ”No problem, I can use my hand.”

Little Golden Dragon suddenly swung its tail, backed a few steps, and said loudly, ”Woman, don’t easily challenge me!”

Then——

Then Little Golden Dragon was grabbed by Ji You, like a small chick, effortlessly. Little Golden Dragon trembled all over and then struggled even more forcefully, ”Darn you, this woman!”

Ji You lifted Little Golden Dragon in front of her, took a careful look, found its skin texture similar to real snakeskin, and the two dragon horns on its head had a realistic touch, had she not known this was a biological mecha, Ji You might have believed it was a real dragon.

Ji You asked, ”Is your name Heavenly Dog?”

Little Golden Dragon snorted lightly, turned its head, and said nothing.

Ji You said, ”You’re so weak.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Little Golden Dragon began thrashing its tail crazily but still could not break free from Ji You; it was so frustrated that it almost exploded, ”Teacher Mu, please immediately, quickly, and swiftly restore me to the second form, I can’t take this humiliation.”

Ji You asked, ”What is the second form?”

Little Golden Dragon said arrogantly, ”Woman, it’s not for you to know, don’t ask.”

Ji You felt her hand a bit itchy.

If this thing were really with her day in and day out, it indeed would be a bit of a headache. First of all, its irritating way of speaking was already quite vexing.

Ji You then turned to Teacher Mu Jianling, ”Teacher, what is its second form?”

Mu Jianling shrugged and said, ”Whale.”

Ji You’s eyes lit up, just as Mu Jianling said, ”Refused to activate, wasting energy.”

Little Golden Dragon hit the wall angrily, ”Then unlock my fourth form.”

Mu Jianling said, ”Denied.”

Little Golden Dragon was even angrier: ”Darn it!”

Ji You was a bit curious and asked, ”Biological Mechas have four combat forms: Beetle, Whale, Golden Dragon, Human... so the fourth form is human? Thinking of this, Ji You became even more curious.

However, she noticed the change in Teacher Mu’s expression in the corner of her eye, and sensibly didn’t mention it further.

After some ruckus, it was evident the arm couldn’t twist the thigh, Little Golden Dragon also became deflated, lying down obediently, allowing Teacher Mu Jianling to deal with it.

After a little while, Mu Jianling said to Ji You, ”Go take a test drive.”

Immediately after.

Original finger-thick Little Golden Dragon instantly expanded to two times, three times, four times... Within two seconds, a giant mecha rose from the ground, quickly soared into mid-air, shining with dazzling golden light!

Ji You was very excited inside and quickly tried to board the mecha.

Except, just as Ji You’s foot stepped onto the mecha’s ladder and had not fully entered the mecha to sit in the cockpit, she heard a low, magnetic voice from within with a hint of anger and panic, saying, ”Woman, stern warning: stop your foot.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You paused her steps, raised her foot, and directly stepped into the cockpit to sit down, preparing to start the test drive.

Seeing he couldn’t stop her, Little Golden Dragon immediately cursed, ”Damn it, even if you have my body, you won’t get my heart!”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You said, ”In this day and age, who hasn’t read a few articles about a domineering president!”

Then——

Ji You stared at Little Golden Dragon and said, ”Listen, I allow you to like me, and you must like me; aside from growing old together, there’s no path for us.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Ji You said, ”Give up on you, maybe next life.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”
