Chapter 1746: Chapter 1746: Name
Little Golden Dragon had already returned to the spaceship’s cabin, but since its mental connection with Ji You was never severed, it could hear Ji You speaking.
Upon hearing this, Little Golden Dragon staggered for a moment, almost falling over, thinking its ears had a problem.
If its ears were fine, then Ji You definitely had a problem.
Is she mad?
Or is she still dreaming and hasn’t woken up?
Even a lion wouldn’t be so demanding.
She...
True to form... the woman with the thickest skin in the world.
Suppressing its strong urge to make sarcastic remarks, Little Golden Dragon didn’t interrupt Ji You, and with a straight face, decided to find a way to wake up He Bi and others.
Here.
After making astronomical demands, Ji You still remained relaxed, as if she was already feeling at a loss, saying, "I’ll give you only 3 minutes to think about it."
With that said.
Ji You raised her hand, giving Old Yellow Bull, who had its mouth wide open, a pat, saying, "Old Niu, mind your image, and wipe off your drool."
Old Yellow Bull looked at her with a pair of bewildered eyes.
Drool?
What’s that?
Plus, this human little bug’s demeanor was inexplicably a bit majestic just now.
Old Yellow Bull didn’t know why it felt that way, but having lived for 200 years, its instincts for danger were highly acute. Just a moment ago, a sense of extreme danger washed over its entire body...
That sense of terror pierced through its thick hide, burrowing into its skin and flesh, the pain akin to being pricked by needles, making Old Yellow Bull extremely uncomfortable, so much that it found it difficult to breathe.
Having lived so many years, Old Yellow Bull seldom felt such sensations, so immediately it curled up, contemplating how to escape when suddenly, after this human little bug opened her mouth, the struggling pain subsided by half.
As soon as she finished speaking, all the pain was gone.
Completely.
Not a trace was found.
That’s why Old Yellow Bull’s mouth was agape, once again staring wide-eyed at this once annoying human little bug.
Ji You wasn’t magically aware of Old Yellow Bull’s internal state, not being its bellyworm, but after she finished speaking, Old Yellow Bull immediately closed its mouth.
After this brief interlude, nothing happened on the other end of the line.
Silent...
As if it did not exist.
But suddenly, Ji You calmed down.
She had originally been a bit nervous, worried her haggling might have scared them away, ruining things. Would they strike out in rage?
Calmness indicated safety.
Isn’t it all about who can stay calm?
Ji You felt no rush, then lifted her head, gazing towards the direction where the line she held continued into the void—a faint smile in her pitch-black eyes.
second.
seconds.
seconds.
...
Within the circular building, green eyes flashed with anger as they widened! Yet, the deep green eyes in the center remained silent, intimidating them all into silence.
After quietly listening to Ji You, its emotions stayed placid, its gaze intently locked on Ji You on the screen.
Ji You’s smile simultaneously reflected into its eyes.
Previously devoid of expression, its face suddenly creased at the encounter with Ji You’s smile.
...
minutes.
Ji You had great patience, although she couldn’t truly see it, this didn’t hinder the stare-off, knowing it was there, watching, observing her, trying to detect something...
But so what?
Ji You seemed like someone barefoot, unafraid of wearing shoes, lacking many chips, squeezing whatever she could extort, waiting to see how gullible they’d be and how many bluffs they’d buy.
Of course, Ji You wasn’t without any chips. The line she held was surely significant, otherwise, they wouldn’t linger this long.
As time slipped by, Ji You stood firm, her demeanor embodying calm and composure.
She internally counted down the time, unable to resist, critiquing the otherworldly beings’ procrastination, with no urgency whatsoever.
minutes and 30 seconds had passed.
seconds remaining.
seconds.
...
Did this thing really understand what 3 minutes meant? Could it think she gave it 3 days and nights?
Inside, growing more anxious, Ji You’s outward appearance seemed even more composed, seemingly carefree enough to start humming a tune.
"Happy drums beat out the joy of the year..."
"Today is a good day; dreams come true..."
"Tomorrow is another good day..."
Old Yellow Bull had its mouth closed already, but upon hearing this singing, wished it could drop dead on the spot. It blinked, staring hard at Ji You, then opened its mouth wide, letting out a huge roar: "Moo——"
[Your singing is more terrifying than your stinky bomb!]
Ji You’s mouth twitched, the song abruptly cut off, and without acknowledging Old Yellow Bull, she raised her eyes towards the void.
The time had come.
Would it respond?
How many terms might it agree to?
Even if it agreed to just one, Ji You would deem it a big win.
Squinting at the void above, Ji You smirked.
In the next moment.
It broke the silence.
An array of strangely musical notes seeped from the void, reaching Ji You’s ears, making her feel eyes like venomous snakes fixed upon her.
Cold, eerie.
Something inexplicably threatening like it’s ready to gnaw a piece of her flesh.
Ji You said nothing, merely lifted the hand clutching the silk line higher, slightly raising her brows.
Though silent, her meaning was evident.
Start something?
Bring it!
Let’s see who cries uncle first.
The next moment, these strange notes transformed into words Ji You could understand.
[Qing·Lv·Shi]
Ji You: "???"
The voice was unexpectedly low, deep, tinged with magnetism.
Initially, Ji You failed to grasp it, but then realized, it was introducing itself.
Qing Lushi?
If the name weren’t enunciated carefully, Ji You might have thought it was joking; what a bizarre name!
Regardless, across the Milky Way, however remote this plane was, it could be explained.
