The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 990: Chapter 990: Dawdling

Successfully got Sheng Qingyan to borrow money from me, and then obediently paid up, buying a bunch of stuff from me, Ji You happily stored the food away. Seeing this, Chu Jiaojiao panicked: ”Ji You, I haven’t bought anything yet.”

Ji You continued what she was doing and asked, ”What do you want to eat?”

Chu Jiaojiao blushed and laughed, ”I want to eat grilled steak, braised ribs, and freshly squeezed juice...”

Ji You paused her fingers but still took out what Chu Jiaojiao asked for. Chu Jiaojiao smiled brightly, ”Thank you, Ji You. I’ll pay you back when we get to the surface.”

Ji You said, ”Don’t forget the interest.”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”Alrighty.”

Sheng Qingyan cursed, ”Poor dead!”

Little Golden Dragon, nestled in Ji You’s arms, suddenly moved: ”Woman—”

Ji You’s finger trembled: ”What do you want to say?”

Little Golden Dragon said, ”I also want honey-glazed roast chicken, fried shrimp, ribs, beef, lamb, pig’s feet, big fish...”

Ji You clutched her chest and asked, ”Stop, stop... I just want to know if there’s anything you don’t want to eat?”

Little Golden Dragon, with a straight face, said decisively, ”None.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You threw out a big pig’s foot and said, ”Start chomping on this first, the rest, I’ll give to you in installments.”

Little Golden Dragon happily accepted the pig’s foot, but after hearing the last sentence, his face darkened and he said, ”Woman, your stinginess is extremely ugly and hateful, hmph!”

Ji You said, ”It’s good enough you have something to eat, and you’re still being picky. Do you think I’m the landlord? Even the landlord’s family doesn’t have surplus grain.”

...

A group of four people, with a Mecha, sat down on the ground, leaning against the ninth gate, digging into their food with their heads down. In the blink of an eye, like a whirlwind, all the food laid out was devoured completely.

On the other side of the screen.

The five members of Ying Tu watched Ji You and the others eating meat in large chunks, and even the ever calm and composed Ying Tu couldn’t help but start salivating.

”Gulu gulu~”

”Gulu gulu~”

”Gulu gulu~”

”Damn!”

”Hungry!”

”This makes me crave so badly!”

Ying Sanqiang, Ying Dadao, Ying Tiechui, Ying Jian all nearly jumped up, almost ready to rush out with their sabers, but they secretly glanced at their boss Ying Tu’s expression and restrained themselves, not daring to move.

Ying Tu’s lips curved into a smile that didn’t reach his eyes: ”Interesting.”

Upon hearing these three words, the other four couldn’t help but shudder.

The boss saying these three words meant he was a bit interested. Who was the unlucky soul that the boss got interested in? All four burly men suddenly had a question mark pop up in their minds.

Next thing they knew.

The four of them saw their boss suddenly lift his hand, point at Ji You’s cheek on the screen, and say, ”Later, leave this one alive, kill the rest.”

”Huh?”

The four men stopped cold, looking at Ji You—a poor little wretch.

Having been with Ying Tu for a long time, living a life of licking blood off knives, they had experienced and seen a lot. Still, even with such experience, the four couldn’t help but whisper to themselves about boss Ying Tu’s cruelty: This is a beast with no emotions, ruthless and venomous... Meeting him, the best way is to die quickly.

To die swiftly, is better than suffering alive.

...

At the door.

Ji You and the group, after eating and drinking their fill, tidied everything up. Ji You sat at the door, not in a hurry to open it.

This was the eighth door.

The key hung directly on the lock, indicating that all they had to do was use it to open the door smoothly. Having successfully passed through the previous eight doors, common reasoning would suggest that this eighth one would be problem-free as well.

Open?

Or not?

Having come this far, asking this question was obviously redundant. Of course, they would open the door, but when to open it was up to Ji You and her companions to decide.

Chu Jiaojiao looked at Ji You and asked, ”Ji You, should we open it now?”

Ji You rubbed her belly and said, ”Let’s wait, ate too much; need to digest first.”

Chu Jiaojiao, growing anxious at hearing this, said, ”How do we digest while sitting? Why don’t we continue breaking through and digest on the way?”

”No way!” Ji You hadn’t spoken yet, but Sheng Qingyan, resting against the wall, petulantly shook her head and pouted, ”I’m so tired; I don’t want to walk. I’ll move once I’ve rested.”

Saying this, Sheng Qingyan plopped down onto the floor, with a ’what can you do?’ attitude... Chu Jiaojiao lifted her hand, rubbed her brow, but couldn’t help throwing a punch.

Half-squinting, Shen Changqing softly said, ”Ayan and Ji You are both tired; let’s lie down for a while longer.” He thought for a second, then cautiously asked, ”How about resting for 30 minutes? What do you think?”

Sheng Qingyan pouted, a bit discontentedly, ”Not enough. I need at least an hour to sleep; otherwise, my skin will be terrible, and I don’t want that...”

Hearing this, Ji You’s eyelid twitched, but she restrained the urge to whack Sheng Qingyan; she directly took Little Golden Dragon and used him as a pillow, saying, ”Let’s just rest for 30 minutes, and then we’ll continue after.”

With that, she closed her eyes.

Little Golden Dragon angrily puffed, ”Hey hey hey... Woman! What are you doing? Don’t you know what you’re doing? You actually use me as a pillow? I treat you like a brother, and you try to sleep on me?”

”Bang!” Ji You jumped, startled: ”Oh crap! Mecha, mind your words, stop saying nonsense, don’t you have anything better to watch all day?”

Seriously—

Words that frighten, you just blurt them out!

Being pressed between the back of Ji You’s head and neck, Little Golden Dragon tried hard to flip over, but only half succeeded, which made him a bit angry. With a stern face, he said, ”Woman! Let me go and apologize properly; only then will I pretend this never happened!”

”Hmm~” Ji You frowned, stretched out her hand, flipped Little Golden Dragon over properly under her head, and smiled, ”That’s more like it.”

Little Golden Dragon: ”...”

Squished and almost unable to breathe, Little Golden Dragon was close to rebellion out of rage.

Ji You closed her eyes, pretending to sleep, while in fact, her Spiritual World silently extended towards the world behind the door, extending further and further—

Meanwhile.

Ying Tu and his group of five wore serious expressions, frowning. Ying Sanqiang looked at his boss Ying Tu, gritting his teeth, ”These little bastards, enough already, are they going in or not?”

He had already tightly gripped the trigger of the High Energy Particle Flow Gun—
