CHAPTER 696: CHAPTER 696: PETTY

Weak Chicken opened his mouth, about to howl—

Ji You raised her hand and sharply chopped at his neck with the edge of her hand, silencing Weak Chicken’s shriek in his throat. Ji You thought she’d frightened him into submission. She slightly relaxed her grip, intending to haul him over and keep a close watch, lest the guy sneak away when she wasn’t paying attention—

But then—

The moment she loosened her grip, Weak Chicken, slippery as an eel, twisted his body, about to slip from Ji You’s control. Ji You clenched her hand and lifted him up: "Dare to run?"

Weak Chicken’s eyes widened and suddenly: "Yingyingying~"

"Ahhh!!!"

"Murder!!!"

With his howl, the lively atmosphere Cheng Yu had cleverly stirred up at the scene froze once again.

Ji You: "..."

Cheng Yu hurriedly diverted the topic, continuing with his witty remarks, shifting the onlookers’ attention away.

Here, Ji You stared at Weak Chicken with eyes that could no longer be described as merely dangerous, but—

Rather, it was a death glare!

Weak Chicken shivered all over and gave Ji You a sly smile, begging for mercy: "Queen, please let me go first!"

Ji You didn’t budge.

Weak Chicken, squeezing out a smile: "I won’t run, nor will I escape."

Ji You remained silent.

Weak Chicken’s face fell, and he grimaced, wailing: "Queen... I really won’t run or escape... I... I’m still waiting to compete for the Soul Device with my quick hands, why would I run?"

Ji You: "..."

"Well—" Ji You raised an eyebrow and sized him up: "With your luck—still dreaming of snatching a Soul Device?"

Weak Chicken nodded frantically: "Yes! Yes! Yes..."

Ji You bared her teeth: "I’m telling you—dream on!"

Weak Chicken mumbled: "My... my hand speed is quite fast though!"

Ha—

The guy is quite confident.

But!!!

Your purchasing rights are banned by me; let’s see if you’re still confident!

Ji You thought slyly to herself.

Weak Chicken felt a bad premonition rising and immediately wore a mournful expression: "Queen... please be generous, spare me..."

Ji You: "Hmph!"

Weak Chicken was almost smearing his face with tears and snot: "Mighty Queen... I was thinking, I, Weak Chicken, didn’t do anything to wrong you."

At the arena, the idea was to counter-kill her, but it wasn’t even carried out, right?

Weak Chicken felt unjustly treated.

Ji You lightly hummed: "If you haven’t done anything to wrong me, why are you slipping away?"

Weak Chicken felt even more aggrieved, trembling, he howled: "This—this is because I was scared... scared stiff by your valiant bravery."

Ji You’s eyes were cold: "Those with a clear conscience do not fear midnight knocking."

Weak Chicken muttered: "I was thinking you’re not a ghost..."

You’re scarier than a ghost!

Cough cough...

These words, Weak Chicken didn’t dare to say. He gauged Ji You’s mood and pleaded softly: "Queen— the rush to purchase is about to start, please be kind, let me down."

The countdown to the sale was nearly over, and Weak Chicken was genuinely anxious, struggling fiercely.

Ji You’s face darkened: "Stay put!"

Having said that, she tossed him down!

The moment Weak Chicken hit the ground, he reflexively tried to run, but after his eyes quickly darted around, and he met Ji You’s gaze, he immediately begged for mercy: "I really won’t run."

Ji You clenched her fist: "Right under my eyelids, if I really let you run, where would I put my face?"

Weak Chicken, shamelessly, chuckled with a grin: "Queen, I won’t chat anymore, getting the Soul Device is more important!"

Ji You shot him a sidelong glance.

At this moment—

System: [Time’s up!]

Suddenly, countless pink stars cascaded from the sky, each twinkling brightly, but only the two largest, brightest crimson stars represented the Soul Devices.

As the two big red stars fell alongside the ordinary ones, they too slowly descended—countless people leaped up, reaching out to grab them.

Weak chicken also jumped out at the first opportunity, extending his hands, frantically trying to grasp them.

On the scene, millions of people watched as the two large red stars kept falling, appearing right above the heads of all the customers. At this moment, it was all about who had the fastest hands—

Weak chicken’s hand already shot out, his heart leaping to his throat, and then—

The big red star he aimed for was already in his hands, but it suddenly slipped away and vanished in the blink of an eye!

Weak chicken: "Fuck!"

"How is that possible!!!"

That’s when!

A wave of wails erupted from the crowd, along with two unrestrained, hearty laughs:

"Ha ha ha!!!"

"I, I, I!!!"

"Daddy, I got it!"

Weak chicken followed the laughter with his eyes, and saw that damn Red-haired moron who snatched the Soul Device from his hands, laughing wildly with his hands on his hips, making weak chicken furious inside!

Damn it!

But!!!

Weak chicken sprinted, running like an arrow!

Only, after a few steps, someone picked him up by the collar of his jacket—

Ji You sinisterly said: "I’ve said it before, if you run away under my watch, where would I put my face?"

Weak chicken forced a stiff smile and turned back: "Queen... I wasn’t running, just stretching my muscles."

The two Soul Devices were already snatched up, with Yue Qiguang being successful, and another by a stranger, who truly got it through his swift hands.

Yue Qiguang, that bloke, has somewhat weaker spiritual power and is a bit of a bumbler, so when operating the real Po Jun, he’s always not quite on top of things. If there’s an outdoor assessment, a little mishap could lead to serious trouble. If his spiritual power could improve by just a bit, coupled with his natural combat ability, the problems would probably not be so great.

Of course, Ji You opened a back door for this guy too, but! Just because he’s a penny-pincher doesn’t mean he’s broke, he still has to pay what the Soul Device is worth on the market, Yue Qiguang the idiot has to cough up the full amount!

Not a penny less!

No!

Not even half a credit point less for Ji You.

All of these, Ji You simply ignored. She glared at weak chicken, coldly saying: "Take me off the blacklist!"

Damn it!

He actually dared to blacklist her!

She is the future ruler standing at the World’s Peak. If this gets out, wouldn’t she lose face?

Weak chicken’s lips wriggled, but under Ji You’s threat, he honestly lifted the ban on Rag Queen.

Ji You was satisfied and then ordered: "Send me a friend request."

Weak chicken’s fingers trembled, but he still dutifully sent a friend request to Ji You.

Then—

System: [The other party has rejected your friend request and thrown a bag of trash at you!]

Weak chicken: "..."

Ji You said: "Try again!"

Weak chicken, pulling a long face, sent another one.

System: [The other party has rejected your friend request and thrown a rotten egg at you!]

Weak chicken: "..."

Ji You said: "Send it again!"

Weak chicken reluctantly applied once more with a helpless face.

Damn it!

What a petty boss!

Such pettiness, probably smaller than the tip of a needle!

System: [The other party has rejected your friend request and has blacklisted you!]

Weak chicken: "..."

Weak chicken, looking mournful, said: "Quee... Queen...this isn’t fun at all... Just tell me straight up what you want."

Ji You: "I want your life!"

Weak chicken: "..."
