Chapter 500 Were we scammed?
With a few clanging and banging sounds, the teleporter's hatch was disassembled.
Lu Youyou and Wang Qiao each launched their skills, but the people outside dodged them.
The two exchanged a glance, their expressions serious.
This is bad; the opponent is no ordinary person.
"Boss, it seems we've arrested the wrong people. These aren't those stinky butterflies."
"Did you see clearly? You didn't even go inside to look!"
"Boss, if you can't trust others, can't you trust me? I'm a dog, my nose is very sensitive, the people inside don't smell like stinky butterflies."
The man called "boss" panicked and hurried toward the teleporter.
Lu Youyou only saw an octopus wearing a brightly colored patchwork outfit, completely in octopus form, without any human characteristics.
The suction cups on the tentacles opened and closed, as if expressing the owner's heavy breathing frequency.
"They really arrested the wrong person!"
Zhang Deshang exclaimed in surprise, and one of his claws suddenly extended, pulling one of his underlings over and pushing him in front of Lu Youyou.
"Hey, your ability to transform into human form is amazing. I don't know what race you are, but since you look young, I'll call you 'little sister.' My name is Zhang Deshang, but you can call me Octopus if you want."
"Sister, I'm sorry, we have a grudge against the Butterfly Clan. You're just unlucky to have ridden in the Butterfly Clan's teleportation device. Oh well, it was my people who made a mistake in the end."
"Xiao Wu, aren't you going to apologize to them yet? Be slower next time! You attacked without even checking who was inside, I really want to beat you to death!"
Lu Youyou let out a soft breath.
It turned out to be a false alarm.
She thought that some family members were unhappy with her becoming an adult and wanted to kill her on the way back.
However, judging from the octopus calling itself "sister," it seems unaware that it is the newly appointed adult.
"Forget the apology, fixing my hatch is the important thing," Lu Youyou said.
The other side outnumbers us, so our immediate priority is to leave as soon as possible.
The less trouble, the better.
Zhang Deshang saluted Lu Youyou with all eight claws: "No problem."
As soon as it finished speaking, its expression changed, and eight slaps landed on Xiao Wu's face.
Go fix that girl's teleporter!
Xiao Wu, looking aggrieved, went to the door and started fixing it.
What? The boss is the one who gives the orders, and the boss is also the one who beats you up.
So he got to play both the good guy and the bad guy.
No, it's more like "good weird" or "bad weird".
"Boss!!!"
The banging sounds grew louder and louder as a black bear ran over.
He was holding a shattered tablet with several layers of transparent tape in his hand, which he handed to Zhang Deshang.
The bear and the octopus seemed to be under a spell, glancing at the tablet and then at Lu Youyou at the same time.
This process is repeated many times.
Lu Youyou felt a sore neck just looking at it.
"You...you're the newly appointed official?"
Zhang Deshang asked incredulously, "How could it be a woman other than Hu Jingjing?"
Lu Youyou could tell that Zhang Deshang meant her no harm, and she had the time to reply.
She shrugged and said, "How would I know? The previous leader thought I was capable, so I took office."
Zhang Deshang's expression was solemn, and he kept changing supplies within his curled tentacles.
One moment it's a dull, dirty gold coin; the next it's a dull, worn-out kitchen knife...
Without even asking, Lu Youyou knew what Zhang Deshang was thinking.
Its people have intercepted the supreme ruler of the universe. Whether to bribe him or kill him to end the matter is indeed a difficult decision.
Lu Youyou made the choice for it.
"Alright, we can talk about your racial feuds later. I'm going back to Wangxing. Get the hatch fixed quickly, and I won't pursue the matter further."
Zhang Deshang's tentacles, which were constantly changing the materials, stopped moving.
It raised its head, looked at Lu Youyou who was a head taller than it, and asked, word by word.
"Are you sure you want to let the cosmic thief go?"
"Are you space thieves?"
Lu Youyou's reaction was even more shocked than when they discovered they were adults.
She wasn't unaware of the reputation of space thieves; they were said to be utterly wicked, even killing children from other races to plunder resources.
However, before discovering his true identity, Zhang Deshang apologized and asked someone to fix the machine, acting as if his personal grudges didn't involve anyone else.
It was quite different from the image of a thief she had imagined.
Zhang Deshang chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Doesn't it look like us? I thought you'd recognize us as soon as we showed up."
"Sir, the fact that you're using the Butterfly Clan's teleporter, does that mean you've already sided with them?"
Before Lu Youyou could speak, Xiao Wu, the black dog who was repairing the hatch, threw down the wrench in his hand.
"Definitely! Boss, I'm not going to fix her hatch. Let her rot and stink on this junk planet!"
clap clap clap...
Another series of slaps followed.
Xiao Wu covered his face and cried.
"Boss, you don't care about me anymore!"
Zhang Deshang cursed angrily.
"How many times have I told you! Doing bad things will bring you bad karma! Do you want your children to be despised like us? Honesty, trustworthiness, and keeping your word—are those eight words so hard to remember?"
"No matter who you are, once we agreed to repair the hatch, you have to do it. Blame us for not verifying your identity before taking action!"
Xiao Wu's tail was drooping.
The little ears were also perched on top of the head, making it look very pitiful.
But the more Lu Youyou looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.
This puppy looks like Blackie's initial form before he leveled up.
"Xiao Wu, are you Venom Dog?"
Xiao Wu trembled, his face showing embarrassment and awkwardness, but his tail was excited by Lu Youyou's words and unconsciously wagged.
"Sir, I am not Venom Dog. I have been expelled from the Venom Dog family. I will not release venom."
Because they meant no harm to me, and also because Xiao Wu looked so much like Xiao Hei when he was little.
Lu Youyou couldn't help but say a few more words.
"It's normal that you can't release venom. You should be a normal-level pet, so your only skill in the initial form is the sense of smell."
Is it...normal...?
Xiao Wu repeated in confusion, his eyes filled with pain.
"No, this isn't normal. From the moment I was born, I was expelled from the family because I couldn't release my venom... I..."
boom!
A huge fireball hurtled towards Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu quickly dodged and escaped behind Zhang Deshang.
Countless teleporters appeared on the horizon, getting closer and closer.
Hu Zheng's voice became clearer and clearer.
"Damn thieves! Stealing from adults! A bunch of good-for-nothings, born of a mother but uneducated by one, today I, Hu Zheng, will teach you a lesson!"
"Sir, get out of the way!"
Lu Youyou and Wang Qiao quickly flashed into the teleporter.
The hatch was repaired by Xiao Wu just now. The teleporter is made of special sturdy materials, so it's safer to hide inside than outside.
Flames raged outside, and cries of agony filled the air.
Inside the teleporter, Wang Qiao frowned, unable to bear the sight.
"Youyou, I feel something's not right. Have we been tricked by the Butterfly Family? Is the real villain someone else?"
Lu Youyou's mind was also a complete mess.
"I do not know."
