The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1656: Chapter 1656: Stuffed

Ji You opened her mouth wide, for a moment unable to speak.

After the Monster Silk disappeared, all the powers that bound Ji You vanished completely, her blood started flowing smoothly again, her limbs gradually regained energy, and then, Ji You felt her legs go weak, about to collapse to the ground—

At this moment, a skinny arm extended across and timely supported Ji You. Ji You raised her head and met Chu Jiaojiao’s worried eyes:

”Ji You...” Chu Jiaojiao said.

”I’m fine.” Ji You shook her head, gesturing for Chu Jiaojiao to let go, but Chu Jiaojiao, of course, was unwilling, stubbornly extending one hand to support Ji You while gripping the knife handle tightly with the other, the sharp blade shining with a cold White Light...

Supported by Chu Jiaojiao, Ji You tried to stand up and asked, ”Jiaojiao, why did you come out?”

Chu Jiaojiao’s face tightened, her expression extremely serious, she said, ”Knowing you were in danger, I couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.”

Ji You frowned and said, ”You can’t handle the danger in this situation.”

Chu Jiaojiao replied, ”So what?”

The simple ’so what’, so lightly put, warmed Ji You’s heart, leaving her unsure how to express her emotions for a moment.

Chu Jiaojiao stared at Ji You, word by word said, ”Even if there’s danger, so what? If it were me, would Ji You just sit coldly and watch?”

Ji You opened her mouth: ”...I wouldn’t.”

Chu Jiaojiao smiled broadly: ”That’s exactly it.”

Ji You immediately smiled too.

The two exchanged smiles in the spaceship cabin, Chu Jiaojiao holding the knife handle, scanning around alertly. Ji You recalled that she couldn’t see the Monster, couldn’t resist asking, ”How did you know I was in danger just now?”

Chu Jiaojiao said, ”Monitoring, I saw your extremely painful expression and strange actions in the monitor. It was clear something happened to you.”

Ji You, of course, wasn’t asking about this, she asked, ”I meant how did you know that the Monster had me tightly bound?”

”Tightly bound?” Chu Jiaojiao was shocked upon hearing this: ”It wanted to tie you up and take you back as a wife?” At this point, Chu Jiaojiao was startled by her own terrifying thought and immediately roared: ”How dare it!”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You rolled her eyes: ”What’s going on in your head? Your focus is way too strange! I meant how did you know it was right by my side?”

Chu Jiaojiao grinned, chuckled and said: ”I don’t know, I just attacked by instinct.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You was convinced.

Some people’s spiritual power may not be strong, but their combat talent and instinct are terrifyingly powerful... Such talent, Ji You couldn’t even envy.

Ji You sighed twice, then heard Chu Jiaojiao, who was glancing around, say: ”By the way, where’s the Monster? Did I scare it away?”

The Monster was formless and intangible, Chu Jiaojiao could hardly sense it, but at this moment she felt a slight anomaly, as if the surrounding air was fresher and more lively.

Thus, Chu Jiaojiao judged that the Monster was scared away by her!

Ji You was stumped by the question.

How... how to explain to Chu Jiaojiao that the Monster was dragged into the Spirit Space by one of her Spiritual Silk threads and then completely disappeared.

Such a fantastical thing, Ji You was reluctant to speak.

Then.

Ji You still opened her mouth, quickly and briefly explained it to Chu Jiaojiao word by word.

Chu Jiaojiao’s jaw dropped: ”...This Monster looks so bizarre, huh?”

”Yeah.” Ji You nodded, suddenly asking: ”Jiaojiao, does your Spiritual Silk have a face, a mouth, a nose... those facial features?”

Chu Jiaojiao was slightly puzzled, not understanding why Ji You suddenly changed the subject, but still shook her head and said: ”You know, my Spiritual Silk doesn’t have five senses... It’s like strands of hair, thin and countless, I just roughly divide them into 2 big categories: obedient and disobedient.”

The obedient ones are the Spiritual Silk Chu Jiaojiao has organized, which she can completely control and use.

The disobedient ones are unorganized, tangled messily in Chu Jiaojiao’s Spiritual World, like a tangled ball of yarn, chaotic and unruly, totally uncommandable by Chu Jiaojiao.

But—

All these Spiritual Silks are without a nose or mouth, or any human-like facial features. They’re just like ordinary silk threads.

So, Chu Jiaojiao was a bit confused why Ji You asked such a strange question.

Ji You said: ”This Monster looks very similar to Spiritual Silk. No!” She paused slightly, shaking her head and said: ”I suspect this Monster is actually a Spiritual Silk!”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”!!!”

Chu Jiaojiao widened her eyes, saying: ”If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean there’s a traitor among us humans?”

If it’s a Spiritual Silk, it must belong to a human...

Who could it be?

Is it an interstellar pirate, someone from the Alliance, or even people from other countries or regions?

No matter who, when he attempts to kill his compatriots, it indicates he stands against humanity, becoming an enemy of mankind.

Chu Jiaojiao gritted her teeth fiercely, saying: ”If I find out which bastard is secretly playing tricks, I’ll personally twist off his head.”

Ji You shook her head: ”I don’t think it is.”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”???”

Ji You said: ”Just intuitively, I feel it’s not human.”

Chu Jiaojiao said: ”But the spiritual power of plants and animals is very weak, even Star Beasts struggle to develop strong spiritual power. This Monster’s spiritual power is obviously off the charts, I think there’s definitely something strange about it, either someone is manipulating it from behind, or the Monster’s power has exceeded our understanding.”

Ji You opened her mouth, just about to respond when suddenly her body stiffened.

Chu Jiaojiao’s alarms went off instantly, shouting: ”Ji You!”

”Pfft—” Ji You, whose body was rigid, suddenly spit out a mouthful of bright Red blood, and her body swayed violently at that moment, nearly collapsing.

”Ji You!!!” Chu Jiaojiao frowned immediately, her eyes widened: ”What’s wrong? Could it be that Monster suddenly came back?”

Ji You weakly raised her hand, painstakingly supporting her body, said: ”It’s not the Monster, it’s my own reason, I seem to have overeaten, my stomach feels so stuffed, it’s like it’s about to explode.”

Chu Jiaojiao’s expression changed upon hearing this: ”What? When did you sneak off to eat behind my back?”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You wasn’t stuffed to death, but nearly choked.

Chu Jiaojiao just had no filter, joking casually, now her playful demeanor was replaced by seriousness as she fixed her gaze around.

”Hasn’t this Monster been scared away by me yet?”

”Where is it hiding?” Chu Jiaojiao held the weapon, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, yet gaining nothing.

Ji You pointed to her head, saying: ”Suspected to be here.”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”Suspected?”

”Seems so.” After finishing, Ji You held her stomach with a face full of sighs: ”So full, feel like I never want to eat again.”
