Chapter 195: I’ll take care of you...

Since she promised them a binge, Ji You didn’t resist her spiritual silks, she just stayed put honestly, not observing the patterns on the iron plate.

Although—

Ji You didn’t do any sabotage, but in less than 5 seconds, the iron plate did something unknown, and the spiritual silks, which were clinging to it and refused to leave, all fell off like dumplings being dropped...

Afterwards.

The iron plate disappeared quickly.

Six Strands looked towards where the iron plate vanished, each thumping their chests and stamping their feet in regret.

Ji You glanced at them sideways: "I thought you guys were so powerful, but it turns out in front of Iron, each of you is just weak and pathetic, not withstanding even a single hit."

Six Strands: "..."

That’s a stab in the heart.

No, wait!

A stab in the silk.

In an instant, all Six Strands turned their heads away, turning their backs on Ji You, acting like they wouldn’t deal with her anymore: [Silk has its dignity too!]

Ji You: "..."

Your dignity my ass!

Your dignity can be measured with just one candy bean.

Ji You curved her lips, saying, "Want some candy beans?"

Rustle rustle...

In a flash, all Six Strands turned back.

Ji You: "..."

Ji You curled her lip corner, teasingly said: "Yo-ho—look, in the face of candy beans, your dignity doesn’t even make up 0.00000001%."

Six Strands: "..."

Dammit!

Hei Xin You is duping the silks again!

Humph—

Clearly offended, Six Strands decisively acted unresponsive to Ji You, collectively retreating a few meters back: [Humph—angry! We are really angry!]

Ji You: "Oh..."

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Six Strands waited and waited, only to find that their black-hearted master really wasn’t coming forward to cajole them. Now, they were both angry and feeling sorry for themselves: [Warning you one more time: We are angry!]

Ji You looked up, gazing at the sky: "Oh... can’t see."

Six Strands: "..."

Ahhh...

Anger is killing the silks.

The group is enraged, Boss’s plump body is shivering like a sieve from anger.

Second followed.

Third also followed.

Fourth, Old Five, Sixth, swiftly followed suit, so unusually, all Six Strands were in front of Ji You, puffing up with anger, shaking their plump bodies.

Ji You held back her laughter, deliberately showing concern: "Ah? What’s wrong with you guys? Ate too much just now? Stuffed? Stomach upset?"

Upon seeing Ji You’s warm and caring act, Six Strands finally felt a bit more relieved and, led by Fourth, suddenly started acting clever: [We are angry, only candy beans can make us happy!]

Ji You: "..."

Why wouldn’t that just kill you with joy?

Ji You hummed, "Oh—go on and stay mad. I take my leave..."

Six Strands: "..."

Ji You said she would, and immediately left the Spiritual World.

Six Strands: "..."

Ji You had already seen clearly that after the consumption of 4 Soul Devices, there was no significant change in her Spiritual World, except for one thing—it seemed as if the space had slightly expanded, very faintly, almost imperceptible.

So what?

What’s the use of that?

Soul Devices, millions spent, and besides making Six Strands look even more sleek and shiny, is this all the effect we get?

Ji You felt somewhat dissatisfied.

Then, she communicated with Xiao You: "Xiao You, Xiao You, Xiao You... I just used 4 Soul Devices, did you feel anything significant inside the Iron Plate?"

The sweet voice of the girl immediately resonated in her mind: "Sister... it’s gotten wider here! At least a meter wider! The space I can move around in has grown again."

Ji You: "Eh? Really?"

Xiao You: "Yeah! It feels even more comfortable to stay here now."

Upon hearing this, Ji You was overjoyed: "Then that’s just wonderful."

Xiao You: "Sister... are we running out of money?" The girl’s voice sounded a bit worried about money.

Ji You grandly waved her hand and said: "No worries! We’ll earn more after it’s spent! I’ve been training in Mecha Driving skills lately and haven’t had time to make Soul Devices. When I find the time, I’ll make ten or eight at a time, this bit of money, we’ll earn it back soon enough."

Xiao You: "If— I could earn money with sister, that would be great."

Ji You said: "You will! One day you’ll be able to make your own money."

Xiao You pursed her lips, revealing a shallow smile, and said: "Yeah, I believe that day will come. Sister, when I can earn money, can I take care of you then?"

Upon hearing this, Ji You’s heart trembled slightly:

Always an orphan, she had never imagined having someone tell her they would take care of her one day. Caught off guard, Ji You’s heart was fiercely poked.

Truly—

Touching enough to bring tears to one’s eyes.

The tough Ji You fiercely wiped her eyes before saying: "Yeah! We’ve made a deal, you’ll take care of me in the future, so—let me take care of you now!"

Xiao You’s eyes were rimmed with red, and she gently nodded: "Yeah."

Ji You: "Good! Let’s stop with all this cheesy talk, it’s kind of embarrassing. Let’s start our homework."

Xiao You’s voice was soft, with a trace of sobbing: "Okay, sister, tell me the homework, I’ll do the calculations here by myself."

Ji You: "Okay."

After school, Ji You had already downloaded Professor Ye Hong’s lesson from today, listened to it roughly once without starting to take notes or do homework. Now, she explained all the homework requirements to Xiao You.

Since the time they could communicate smoothly was limited, Ji You spoke very quickly, very concisely, and Xiao You also listened very attentively.

After speaking, both of them started studying earnestly.

Since entering the Military Academy, Ji You thought about Xiao You’s wish to study in the Material Department of Lanyue Star Military Academy. Therefore, Ji You thought for a long time and came up with a method: she would organize the content of each day’s lessons into a very brief set of notes, then tell Xiao You, and also explain the daily classwork and homework. Although Xiao You couldn’t perform experiments within the Iron Plate, she could use her mind to simulate and deduce...

Xiao You was very happy.

Because the spiritual power threshold was limited, and communicating with Xiao You required a lot of energy, the two agreed not to waste their communication time and energy. They arranged to interact and discuss only during the evenings for listening to lessons and doing homework.

It was a necessary arrangement.

After all, Ji You was currently weak and poor.

If she were rich and held a fortune, she could buy as many Candy Beans as she wanted, or possess as many High-level Soul Devices as she wished, then she wouldn’t have to worry about the scarce time for communicating with Xiao You.

Unfortunately—

Poor indeed.

Inside the dormitory, the atmosphere was very quiet, one studying hard in the real world, writing furiously; the other striving to deduce in the world of the Iron Plate... reality and illusion began to blur at the borders... the two delicate figures looked so serene and beautiful.
