The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 1027: Comfort

After turning off the communication, Ji You turned to Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and the others, and said, "I have 10 energy boxes. I’ll keep one for the Mecha, and the rest can be used for the Protective Shield. How many do you have?"

Chu Jiaojiao said, "I brought all Level 5 energy boxes this time, only five. I’ll keep one for the Mecha, and the rest can be used as well."

Next, it was Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan, Liu Fufeng, Yue Qiguang, and Yue Qiyuan. Shen Changqing counted them up and said, "There are 51 in total; transferring all to the Protective Shield will support us for 1 hour and 30 minutes, which should be enough."

Among them, Liu Fufeng, being quite wealthy, provided 30 energy boxes alone.

This kind of large spaceship’s Protective Shield is a piece of equipment that consumes a massive amount of energy. Fortunately, everyone had brought enough energy boxes this time, making it manageable to deal with the current situation.

Then.

The group stayed inside the spaceship, obediently not moving around or running, while Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, and Shen Changqing, the three injured ones, quietly sat on one side doing physical rehabilitation.

The other four, except for Liu Fufeng who was quietly making small paper men in the corner, were fully alert to guard against any sudden situation.

Outside the window, the Black Stinging Bee Swarm was still wreaking havoc.

Ji You closed her eyes and extended her newly replaced hand, carefully feeling it:

Nothing seemed unusual, but something felt slightly off. She raised her hand, rubbed her temples, and suddenly felt a little depressed.

At this moment, Liu Fufeng’s clear voice suddenly sounded beside her, "Not used to the new hand yet?"

Ji You was slightly stunned and stopped her hand.

Liu Fufeng handed the small paper man in his hand to Ji You’s front and said, "You can try making small paper men. After doing it for a long time, the sensation in your hand will come."

Ji You shook her head, "Sorry, I don’t like making small figures."

Liu Fufeng’s expression didn’t change, just kept staring at Ji You’s hand, and a few seconds later, Liu Fufeng softly said, "My hand was replaced too."

Ji You was taken aback, "What did you say?"

Liu Fufeng softly said, "My hand isn’t original either."

Ji You thought for a moment, not particularly shocked, because rumors had it that the former first-in-line heir of the Galaxy Empire was in poor health, often falling ill, and even missed the royal celebrations for many years due to health reasons...

Many people couldn’t even figure out the exact appearance of this Imperial Prince.

...

Liu Fufeng said, "21 times."

Ji You: "???"

Liu Fufeng’s expression was very calm, and his tone was usual, "I have replaced my hand 21 times in total."

Ji You’s pupils shrank, and she opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After a slight silence, Ji You softly said, "Must be hard, right?"

Liu Fufeng’s tone was calm too, with no fluctuation in his voice, "Not hard, it’s just... it’s just very painful."

"Very painful."

"Painful to the point of numbness." Liu Fufeng extended his two arms, which were still covered with bruises, "I’m afraid of pain."

Ji You was somewhat speechless.

Thinking for a moment, Ji You asked, "That time I ran into you at school, was the injury on your hand also caused by replacing your hand?"

Liu Fufeng’s beautiful eyes stared at Ji You without blinking, he shook his head and said, "No. That day there was a problem with the newly replaced blood."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You took a deep breath, still a bit surprised, and asked, "You even replaced the blood in your body?"

Liu Fufeng nodded, "Yeah."

Ji You: "..."

Thinking about that kind of pain, Liu Fufeng bit his teeth and said, "There’s not a single place on my whole body that hasn’t been replaced."

Ji You: "..."

This topic was quite heavy. Ji You instinctively wanted to refuse to receive such information, not understanding why Liu Fufeng suddenly decided to say such things to her.

She was also not a very qualified listener or confidant.

"Ji You..." Liu Fufeng suddenly smiled, his lips slightly curved up. He turned his head, revealing a beautifully curved profile, with skin as white as snow, without a pore visible.

"I envy you."

Liu Fufeng said, "I really do."

Ji You pursed her lips and, after a few seconds, said, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend, I didn’t know these things before..."

Liu Fufeng said, "It’s nothing. There’s no offense taken." He extended his long, fair hands with rounded nails and said, "I say these things just to tell you that it’s okay to replace them. Just treat it like your previous hand and it’s fine. Practice with it, make small figures, draw circles... all are very good options."

"My drawing technique and paper-folding skills were practiced like this." Liu Fufeng said this with a slight curl at the corner of his mouth, showing a little proud smugness, "In 3 seconds, I can make a small figure."

Ji You: "..."

"Thank you." Ji You said, "I really need to practice more." At least to coordinate the limbs.

Speaking of which, Ji You looked at Liu Fufeng’s face, suddenly feeling a bit hesitant.

After several hesitations, she still did not speak.

Liu Fufeng suddenly laughed and said, "You want to ask if my head has been replaced, right?"

"..." Slightly surprised Liu Fufeng guessed it, Ji You said, "Yes, that’s exactly what I wanted to ask."

Liu Fufeng said, "Eyes, nose, mouth, ears, scalp, all replaced, except the core of the brain."

Ji You opened her mouth...

After a while, Ji You said, "Sounds...it sounds a bit terrifying. So——"

"Does it hurt?" Ji You asked.

Hearing these two words, Liu Fufeng’s beautiful eyes suddenly brightened, then he lowered his head and said, "Actually, I don’t know. I fell asleep before the replacement, and when I woke up, I forgot it."

"Forgot a lot of things." Liu Fufeng stared at the window, his tone somewhat wistful, "Forgetting is better."

The atmosphere was a bit stifling, Ji You thought for a moment, stepped forward, patted Liu Fufeng’s shoulder, and said, "Life is limited, remembering some interesting things is enough."

Liu Fufeng squinted, smiling, "I think so too." Then, he changed the subject, "Ji You, could you make me a new cane?"

Ji You: "..."

Liu Fufeng said seriously, "Really, I won’t mind if it’s not well made, as long as you make it with your own hands."

Ji You refused, "Sorry, I won’t make it."

Liu Fufeng’s tone was slightly stubborn, "I think you currently really need to practice your hands, why not just carve a cane for me?"

Ji You pointed to Liu Fufeng’s arms and said, "Don’t you already have one? Why do you need so many canes?"

Liu Fufeng replied, "I can use one with each hand."

Ji You rolled her eyes, "I think what you really need is for your head to be treated, to heal your brain cramps."

After saying that, Ji You ignored him, lowered her head, and earnestly continued exercising her arm’s flexibility.

Ji You took out a bundle of Iron Pear Wood silk thread and, putting aside distractions, began practicing handcraft weaving.
