The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 979: Chapter 979: Sparrow Yellow

Little Golden Dragon: ”I want you to—”

Following the direction pointed by Little Golden Dragon, Ji You saw Sheng Qingyan and was taken aback. Then she suddenly realized and said, ”You want me to kill him?”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Little Golden Dragon twitched the corner of its mouth, almost unable to resist tail-slapping its owner, but it seemed to think of something and showed an expression of endurance, saying, ”I want his Space Button...”

Ji You waved her hand and said, ”That poor guy’s stuff, I’d throw it in the trash for recycling, not even worth the effort. Let’s not, I’ll buy you some better toys.”

Little Golden Dragon was taken aback, and even Sheng Qingyan showed displeasure, saying, ”Poor dead, you know, my Soul Device is a Green Glaze Master’s Soul Device! Personally crafted by Green Glaze Master!”

He was currently wearing a ’Qing Zhu’ brooch made by Green Glaze Master. The pink earrings and grass seed fruit he purchased earlier had been stored away, yet the two Soul Devices stored away were still usable. However, the ’Qing Zhu’ provided a better enhancement to Sheng Qingyan’s spiritual power, hence he wore the Qing Zhu.

A Soul Device by Green Glaze Master is hard to come by! It’s even harder than winning the lottery, and I have three!

Three!

If word got out—

Sheng Qingyan was full of pride and arrogance, then—

Then—

”Oh—” Ji You said indifferently, ”Aren’t they just two low-level tras... cough, two low-level soul artifacts? I’m neither envious nor jealous because—I can’t afford them.”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Sheng Qingyan: ”Tsk! Poor guy~”

Beside them, Little Golden Dragon, who had been listening to the conversation between Ji You and Sheng Qingyan, just raised its head with some confusion and asked, ”Who is Green Glaze Master?”

”Cough, cough...” Ji You hurriedly said, ”Just someone irrelevant. Hurry up and tell me, what did you want earlier?”

Little Golden Dragon’s attention was immediately diverted, and it quickly said, ”I want that black lump inside his Space Button.”

Ji You said, ”That thing doesn’t look like anything good, we don’t want it.”

The black lump that Sheng Qingyan kept in his Space Button, along with the Soul Device from Green Glaze Master, was obviously not ordinary, and likely expensive too. Ji You dared not listen further. She picked up Little Golden Dragon and said, ”Let’s continue catching rats.”

Little Golden Dragon twisted its head, its gaze still fixed on Sheng Qingyan’s Space Button, expectantly saying, ”But I really want it.”

Ji You said, ”No—you don’t want it.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”No—I want it, I really want it.”

Ji You said, ”No—you don’t want it, you really don’t.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Little Golden Dragon let out an angry snort, immediately turning its back and showing its butt to Ji You’s face, saying, ”Woman! You’ll know the consequences of not satisfying me. This is the Ji Family’s only chance to come out on top. Miss this, and your Ji Family will go bankrupt.”

”...” Ji You raised her hand, rubbed her forehead, and said, ”Alright, I get it. If I, Ji You, agree today, my Ji Family will decline, never to rise again.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Little Golden Dragon twitched its mouth: ”Woman! You will pay for your ignorance and stupidity.”

”Cough, cough...” Suddenly, Shen Changqing, who had been silent, cleared his throat and said, ”Excuse me, you two, if I may intrude.”

Ji You, Little Golden Dragon: ”???

Shen Changqing pointed at the Space Button hanging from Sheng Qingyan’s chest and said, ”That—that black lump isn’t a good thing either. It’s just a teething stick Ayan used when he was little.”

Sheng Qingyan, who had been leaning against the wall, closing his eyes, suddenly opened them wide: ”Aqing, you’re so annoying, I won’t let you say it anymore~”

”Cough, cough...” Shen Changqing blushed and reluctantly shut his mouth.

And then—

In the next second, Chu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and said, ”I thought it looked familiar. Isn’t this the teething stick that the fool Sheng Qingyan used to gnaw on all the time? When we were in kindergarten, I wanted to see it, but he wouldn’t let me, so I beat him up. Tsk tsk—” At this point, Chu Jiaojiao sneered, ”I remember you were still holding onto that teething stick every night even when you were seven or eight years old. Are you still using it now?”

As soon as she said this, Sheng Qingyan’s pretty face turned a rare shade of red, and his cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish in an instant, ”Jiaojiao, you—”

”You—”

Sheng Qingyan stomped his foot fiercely: ”I’m not playing with you anymore~”

Ji You declared decisively, ”Looks like I’m right.”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

Ji You said wryly, ”People hug blankets, dolls, and pillows... But you hug a teething stick. You have a really peculiar taste.”

Sheng Qingyan’s face turned red again, and he stomped his foot hard: ”I’m not playing with you anymore.”

Ji You originally thought that thing was expensive and that she couldn’t afford its price. But upon hearing it was just Sheng Qingyan’s childhood teething stick, she felt a sense of relief. She noticed out of the corner of her eye that Little Golden Dragon was still staring at the Space Button on Sheng Qingyan’s neck, so she couldn’t help but ask, ”What’s that thing made of?”

Since it was Sheng Qingyan’s teething stick, and it always accompanied him to sleep, it seemed... it was Sheng Qingyan’s spiritual solace and harbor...

At this point, Ji You couldn’t bear to snatch it away. Instead, she wanted to ask about its material and consider making one for Little Golden Dragon later.

Cough, cough...

The money-burning little fairy!

Just keeps wanting, wanting, wanting...

And then—

Sheng Qingyan remained silent, while Shen Changqing said, ”It’s Sparrow Yellow.”

Ji You: ”Ah???”

Shen Changqing explained, ”A natural treasure growing on a peacock’s body—Sparrow Yellow, starting at 1 billion.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You: ”Goodbye.”

Sheng Qingyan: ”Tsk! Poor guy~”

Ji You quickly turned towards the tunnel entrance, trying her best to appear calm and indifferent, saying, ”Let’s release a Black Gold Rat to fight. Not a second to waste, must seize every moment! Let’s finish the task early and go back to sleep early.”

As she spoke, Ji You felt the Little Golden Dragon in her arms, which had been struggling earlier, suddenly froze when it heard Shen Changqing’s words, asking, ”Start at 1... 1 billion?”

Shen Changqing nodded, ”Mm. It’s very expensive, rarer than a Soul Device, unable to be artificially cultivated. It occurs at a one-in-trillion chance, so it’s particularly precious.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”Oh—”

Pretending not to care, Ji You suddenly asked, ”Then—is it a Soul Device?”

Shen Changqing shook his head and said, ”No. The piece Ayan has in his hand is just an exceptionally rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure. It hasn’t formed into a Soul Device, and the peacock that nurtured it was unfortunately killed by a Star Beast.”

Ji You: ”Oh— then, can you buy it elsewhere?”

Shen Changqing: ”???”

Ji You cleared her throat and said, ”I’m just casually asking. I won’t buy it.”
