Chapter 1081: Chapter 1081: Crystal
At the entrance of the laboratory, Ji You opened her mouth, for a mont not knowing what to say. After a while, she said, "You gave away your parents’ token of love to soone else, didn’t they mind?"
Fu Feng said calmly, "The fact that this thing ended up in my hands already proves that it’s not worth much."
"Ahem..." Ji You said, "Well... that seems to be the case."
If it were cherished, the parties who owned this token of love would never part with it, no matter what. Now, it has landed in Fu Feng’s hands, and he has passed it on for soone else to use.
The aning it once represented and the deep emotions it held... now, all are gone.
Now, it’s just a Fla Beast’s crystal.
That’s all.
For so reason, Ji You felt a bit stifled in her chest. Perhaps all the joys and sorrows in this world are imbued with a certain magic that makes people easily empathize.
Fu Feng saw the expression on Ji You’s face, as if she wanted to say sothing but stopped short, and therefore, he revealed a very indifferent look, saying, "No need to comfort ; one of the true parties has already left, and the other has forgotten... So, it doesn’t have much to do with ."
"..." Ji You put away her feelings and said, "You’re overthinking it. I never thought of comforting you. I just wanted to ask you a question—do you still have any of those Star Beast Crystals in your hands?"
Fu Feng’s mouth twitched: "...No."
This kind of crystal, Ji You was just too curious, so she really wanted to know what it looked like and what its specific function was... Ji You glanced sideways at Fu Feng, "Are you sure you’re not lying to ? As a nation’s Crown Prince, ahem... forr Crown Prince, don’t you have any stock in your hands?"
Fu Feng looked up at the sky: "Not even the current Emperor of the Galaxy Empire can co up with a Star Beast Crystal just because he wants it."
Ji You: "!!!"
Ji You exclaid in surprise, "Is it that hard?"
Fu Feng nodded: "Yes."
Ji You furrowed her brows: "This is going to be difficult; I originally wanted to see what it looks like and, if I encounter it next ti, get so back." Sothing that can save the Little Golden Dragon is better kept in one’s own hands.
Fu Feng’s eye twitched, seemingly choked by Ji You’s words. He looked at Ji You, opened his mouth, "You... you really want to find the Star Beast Crystal yourself?"
Ji You said matter-of-factly, "Yeah. Who wouldn’t want such a treasure?"
"..." Upon hearing this, Fu Feng, for a mont, didn’t know how to respond. A clear expression of admiration appeared in his beautiful eyes, yet he suddenly said, "Ahem... if you want to go, please don’t bring
along."
Ji You: "..."
Fu Feng said sincerely, "I want to stay alive."
Ji You rolled her eyes: "I don’t like hearing that, as if I wouldn’t survive if I went to look for the Star Beast Crystal."
Fu Feng said, "It’s very difficult."
Ji You raised her face and said, "In my dictionary, there is no difficult word, let alone the phrase ’very difficult’."
Fu Feng: "..."
"Stop with that," Ji You waved her hand and asked, "Why haven’t I heard of this Star Beast Crystal before? I haven’t even seen it for sale on the Star Network, nor any ntion of it on the Star Network. Is it very rare and hard to obtain? Or is there sothing about it that must be hidden from the public?"
One sentence, and she hit the nail on the head.
Fu Feng looked at Ji You with a slightly complicated expression, then said, "Both reasons. But the specific reason is because it actually is—"
BANG!
Suddenly, a loud noise interrupted Fu Feng’s next words. Ji You and Fu Feng turned simultaneously to see Mu Jianling standing at the door, arms crossed, looking coldly at Fu Feng.
Fu Feng’s words, about to be spoken, ca to an abrupt halt.
Mu Jianling said coldly, "You’re quite the talker, aren’t you?"
Fu Feng lowered his head...
Mu Jianling turned to Ji You, speaking coolly, "Want to know?"
The atmosphere really couldn’t be described as harmonious, especially with Teacher Mu Jianling’s gaze, which was like a cold blade, swish swish—hitting the bullseye, piercing Ji You’s heart.
A drop of cold sweat appeared on Ji You’s forehead.
She looked down, glanced at her palm, and saw tiny beads of sweat there too.
This was—
The first ti Teacher Mu Jianling pressured her with spiritual power. It was vast, majestic, magnificent... overbearing!!! Ji You resisted with difficulty. Despite everything she went through on Bee Head Star, it seed like she was unscathed, but the spiritual power damage wasn’t easy to recover from, so Ji You still needed so ti to heal.
But despite the difficulty in resisting, the chill running up her spine, Ji You still raised her head and said loudly, "I want to know!"
"Oh—" Hearing Ji You’s answer was not unexpected. It was completely within Mu Jianling’s expectations. She retracted all her pressure and said calmly, "Not telling you."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You took a deep breath: "Teacher... you’re not being fair."
The cruelest thing in the world is to pique soone’s curiosity but not give them the answer.
It’s simply—
Both cruel! And hateful!
Mu Jianling raised an eyebrow and said, "When have I ever been fair?"
"..." One sentence almost choked Ji You to death. Ji You puffed up her cheeks and glared at Mu Jianling, accusing, "You can’t be too much like Teacher Mu!"
Mu Jianling raised her hand and swung it towards Ji You.
Ji You quickly stepped back.
But!
The next second, sothing flew out of Mu Jianling’s palm and landed on top of Ji You’s head. Feeling this touch, Ji You’s heart skipped a beat: "Little Golden Dragon?"
The Little Golden Dragon perched atop Ji You’s head, grumbling with dissatisfaction, "What Little Golden Dragon? Woman—I warn you once again, my na is Lord Heavenly Dog! Rember, Lord Heavenly Dog!"
Ji You picked up the Little Golden Dragon and stared at it for a few seconds. That familiar, kind, gentle, fiery, joyous... gaze made the Little Golden Dragon blush right up to its ears, even its two horns stiffened upright!
"Wo... woman..."
"You..."
"You..."
"I warn you... if you dare look at
with that silly gaze again, I’ll... I’ll let you taste Lord Heavenly Dog’s wrath!"
Ji You suddenly smiled.
Her smile was both bright and gentle...
Then.
Despite the Little Golden Dragon’s extre displeasure and unwillingness, Ji You forcibly rubbed its dragon horns and chuckled softly, "Really... it’s great."
Still the Little Golden Dragon, lively and jumping around.
The Little Golden Dragon awkwardly turned its face away, grunted, "You... you you... Woman! If you don’t let
go, I’ll have the Ji Family go bankrupt!"
"Ahem, ahem..." Ji You laughed and turned to Mu Jianling, sincerely saying, "Teacher Mu, thank you."
Mu Jianling said coldly, "Regarding the Star Beast Crystal, you are not to inquire about it anymore. Now is not the ti for you to know." After saying this, Mu Jianling turned to the side and directly addressed Fu Feng, whose head was lowered so low that his feelings were unreadable, "Prince Ji, Ji You is a student of mine, Mu Jianling. She is under my protection. Keep your ssy little thoughts to yourself, and don’t let
see them again."
