The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1454: Chapter 1454: Terrifying

What does walking on a tightrope feel like?

A question popped into Sheng Qingyan’s head; if someone asked him, he would definitely answer: Thrilling, exciting, wishing to do it again.

But, if the person walking the tightrope isn’t yourself, but your partner—then there’s no thrill, no excitement, only fear, just pure fear.

Growing up, Sheng Qingyan had experienced the piercing pain of loss and gains, leading him to not care about many things—money, death, he had seen through it all.

Everyone dies eventually; since everyone must die, you might as well live freely and enjoyably while you can.

Sheng Qingyan had always lived this way.

However—

Watching Chu Jiaojiao in danger, truly facing a life-or-death situation, Sheng Qingyan thought he could at least remain calm and composed in addressing and analyzing the best strategy. Yet in that moment, the inescapable fear robbed him of his cool; he didn’t think twice and rushed over to pull Chu Jiaojiao up, bracing for the fierce attack from the black bears.

No matter.

Facing such attacks himself was inconsequential, as long as it wasn’t Chu Jiaojiao or any other partner.

Nevertheless, even before the black bears’ assault could land, he found himself being forcefully pushed away by Chu Jiaojiao!

Sheng Qingyan was utterly shocked!

Then.

Chu Jiaojiao swung a knife down, splitting the paws of more than a dozen black bears in two.

That slash was fierce, power-packed, opening a path like splitting earth and sky, with a single stroke shattering mountains and rivers. That stroke awakened Sheng Qingyan’s muddled mind instantly!

Just then, over a dozen black bears roared, intending to crush the pesky bug Chu Jiaojiao. Sheng Qingyan, fallen on the ground, watched helplessly as Chu Jiaojiao lost the ability to fight back!

She might die!

She really might die!

With the black bears’ tonnage comparable to a Floating Car, combined with sturdy bodies and beastly strength, one step would instantly reduce someone to a pulp.

Unacceptable!

Absolutely unacceptable!

Chu Jiaojiao absolutely cannot die!

In that instant, Sheng Qingyan suddenly felt a calm he had never experienced before; gripping a weapon, his body remained still, releasing all Spiritual Silk from within his Spirit Space!

Boom—

strand, 2 strands, 3 strands...

Countless strands!

All Spiritual Silk in Sheng Qingyan’s Spirit Space was withdrawn at once, rushing outward, entangling within the spiritual fluctuations of those black bears!

The black bears’ movements slightly paused, very briefly, almost negligible.

And Sheng Qingyan’s face immediately lost all color.

His lips quivered, face pale as paper.

Not enough.

Completely inadequate.

Even with spiritual power threshold exhausted, it still couldn’t reach the level needed to disrupt the black bears; realizing this, Sheng Qingyan’s body shook fiercely, unwilling to give up, suddenly gritting teeth, deciding to compress all his spiritual power!

Let’s perish together!

Everything happened in a flash; Chu Jiaojiao was prepared to be crushed into a meat pie; Yue Qiguang angrily punched the spaceship wall; Yue Qiyuan tightly pressed his lips, telling himself not to fear; Ji You watched the monitor, helpless due to the distance, her heart quivering for the first time with a sense of panic...

Perish together!

On Sheng Qingyan’s absolutely beautiful face appeared an expression of resolute decision.

And at this moment, the pendant around Sheng Qingyan’s neck, along with the pink earrings on his lobes... suddenly emitted a faint crackling sound, instantly turning to powder.

Sheng Qingyan was momentarily stunned.

But!

At this very moment, his depleted Spirit Space felt like a drought receiving rain; a surge of warmth instantly flooded it, although it didn’t completely fill Sheng Qingyan’s dry Spirit Space, it was enough for a few seconds.

A few seconds are sufficient.

Sheng Qingyan once again released all his compressed spiritual power.

Boom—

Over a dozen black bears’ feet paused collectively, about 0.1 meters away from Chu Jiaojiao’s face!

Chu Jiaojiao’s eyes suddenly brightened!

Then, she rolled, rolled a few meters away, and leapt onto the back of a black bear. During the leap, she deftly snagged the limp Sheng Qingyan from the ground with a rope, hoisting him over her shoulder.

In the next moment.

Chu Jiaojiao dashingly, with quick footsteps, bounced around on the backs of the black bears as in a nightclub, dodging the black bears’ attacks.

Sheng Qingyan was utterly spent, with not an ounce of strength left, even blinking seemed impossible, his whole being tied to Chu Jiaojiao’s back, jostling, his stomach churning, until in the next moment, Sheng Qingyan vomited a heap of contents, dirtying his chest completely.

Sheng Qingyan: "..."

Sheng Qingyan nearly fainted directly.

So infuriating!

The image of himself as the cutest in the Universe, completely ruined!

"Jiaojiao."

"Spicy eye."

"10 seconds, ready to land—"

Ji You’s obviously delighted voice echoed at their ears, Chu Jiaojiao and Sheng Qingyan were both invigorated, the outraged black bears still roared, incessantly attacking them, yet their hearts were suddenly steeled like never before.

"10, 9, 8..."

"1."

With Ji You’s voice, the elevator landed precisely in front of Chu Jiaojiao; she didn’t hesitate, flicking a rope, the climbing hooks locked onto the lift.

The black bears also jumped simultaneously, reaching for the lift.

Whiz—

Ji You controlled the lift, departing from the ground, rapidly ascending.

"Roar—"

"Roar—"

"Roar—"

On the ground, the black bears growled fiercely over and over, the roars gradually becoming distant, and farther...

Chu Jiaojiao and Sheng Qingyan were tossed onto the spaceship’s airlock, both lay like dead pigs, particularly Sheng Qingyan, whose eyes opened momentarily, before his head slumped, fainting away.

His spiritual power depleted, his body was already at its limit; managing to open his eyes briefly was quite remarkable.

Then.

Sheng Qingyan was picked up by a strong hand and shoved into a treatment cabin.

"Slap!" Wiping some vomit dismissively, Yue Qiguang frowned and uttered: "Weakling."

After that.

Yue Qiguang turned towards Chu Jiaojiao lying on the airlock, grinning sinisterly, "Little runt, you actually fell into daddy’s hands now."

Chu Jiaojiao: "..."

Chu Jiaojiao gritted her teeth: "Don’t you dare."

Yue Qiguang ignored her, baring his teeth at Chu Jiaojiao, then reached his hand towards her to grab, and just as he was about to lift Chu Jiaojiao, she suddenly leapt, kicking Yue Qiguang over.

Yue Qiguang: "..."

Chu Jiaojiao clapped, sneering: "I told you to not move, yet you can’t understand human speech, so I’ll teach you what falling flat on your face means."
