The original owner of this body had a childhood betrothal with the male protagonist Xu Heyu in the book. However, at the beginning of the story, because the original owner was exiled to a garbage planet and died, the betrothal was naturally dissolved.

But things are different now. She's come and taken over the original body's place, and she's still alive and kicking. It's hard to say how this marriage will be handled.

"You want to break off your engagement with Xu Heyu? Xiao Mei, what's gotten into you?" Xu Hui placed her hands on Qiao Mei's shoulders, looking her up and down, but couldn't find anything wrong with her.

Qiao Mei said helplessly, "I wasn't traumatized. It was just that after almost being dragged to a garbage planet to die, I suddenly understood a lot of things. Thinking back carefully, I realized that I didn't have any feelings for Xu Heyu at all. I just admired him blindly because he was handsome, strong, and a prominent figure in the interstellar world."

What she said was indeed true, but Xu Hui still felt it was a bit outrageous, and even asked Qiao Mei to show her records of pawning Xu Heyu's merchandise.

She only believed Qiao Mei after seeing that the record actually existed. She patted her shoulder with a relieved expression and said, "It's good that you can understand. With Xu Heyu's status, although he is more than a match for you, his excellence is bound to bring you a lot of trouble."

Qiao Mei couldn't deny it; after all, he was the male lead, and wherever he went, he was a popular figure among girls.

“However, your marriage to him was arranged when I was still with the Xu family. If you want to break it off, you have to go back to the Xu family in person. I have thought about many things over the years. Once the divorce papers between me and the Crown Prince are approved, I will help you with this matter.”

After Xu Hui finished speaking, she asked Qiao Mei if she planned to purchase some items for the Awakened Ones and their companions.

"Mom has some money here, how much do you want?"

Qiao Mei shook her head: "No need. You forgot, I made quite a bit of money selling Xu Heyu merchandise. The money is enough. You still have to go to work today, right? Hurry up and go, don't delay any longer."

Xu Hui was indeed running late for the company. She told Qiao Mei to be careful and to contact her immediately via her personal terminal if anything happened, and then she left.

Qiao Mei then took Ao Cang and boarded the aircraft heading to Imperial Star Square.

On the way, Ao Cang looked at the girl who was focused on reading the exam questions of the Federal Academy. He remembered what she had just said about breaking off her engagement with Xu Heyu. His golden dragon eyes flashed, and the dragon body that was wrapped around her neck suddenly tightened its grip.

But Qiao Mei was focused on the exam questions and didn't notice his unusual behavior.

......

As the most prosperous area of ​​the Imperial Star, Imperial Star Square is lined with shops of various functions. Since it is the residence of the royal family and the four major families, the people who come here are basically all rich and noble.

Only a small portion of them come from other planets to make a living or for business trips.

After disembarking from the royal gray aircraft, Qiao Mei followed the memories in the original owner's mind and headed towards a shop with a relatively high cost-performance ratio for her familiar beasts.

Ao Cang looked in the direction she was going and reminded her, "Are you going the wrong way? The shops that Awakened Ones need to go to are to the west."

“You’ve come to the right place. I’m mainly here to buy things for you. As for myself, I can just make do with whatever I have. There’s no need to be too particular about what I’m buying.”

But Ao Cang is different.

The shop for familiar beasts was similar to the pet shops Qiao Mei had seen in modern times. Although she didn't treat Ao Cang as a pet, many of the items inside were indeed very useful to Ao Cang.

For example, a nest or something...

Thinking of this, Qiao Mei looked at the little black dragon coiled around her neck, intending to ask him what he wanted: "Dragon God, you..."

"Just call me by my name. Now that we've formed a bond, there's no need to be so formal."

Qiao Mei paused for a moment, then disagreed, saying, "But calling you by your name seems a bit disrespectful."

Ao Cang raised his golden eyes to look at her: "Then you can choose one that you feel comfortable with. In short, don't call me so formally anymore, and you don't need to address me as 'you' anymore."

It was as if there was always a clear barrier between him and her. Although he knew that believers and gods should maintain this relationship, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Can I really choose for myself?"

A mischievous glint appeared in the girl's red eyes, unnoticed by Ao Cang, as she feigned surprise and delight.

"Hmm, but..."

Qiao Mei interrupted him first, using a name she had always used for him before she transmigrated into the book: "Then, shall I call you Cangcang?"

"Cang... Cang Cang?" The Dragon God had never heard such an intimate address before, and was stunned for a moment. Crimson crimson spread from his dragon tail all over his body, making Qiao Mei's eyes even more mischievous.

"What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied? But that's all I want to call you. If you don't want to, I'll just call you Lord Dragon God as before, okay?"

Ao Cang himself said those words, and now he's suddenly going back on his word, which isn't good, but the name is really...

After spending the past few days with Ao Cang, Qiao Mei had figured out some of his personality. Seeing that he still wouldn't budge, she put on a disappointed look and sighed, "Fine, then it's still..."

"Then just call it that, if that's all you want to call it."

In the end, the Dragon God, who was less cunning, was slightly outmatched, allowing Qiao Mei to achieve her secret wish. The joy in her red eyes was almost overflowing.

But this joy was quickly overshadowed by the gossip and rumors that some people spread after she entered the Familiar Beast Shop.

"Hey, look, isn't that the Forsaken Beast? Tsk, it looks really pathetic, its scales aren't even complete, it's so ugly!"

"Pfft, really, it doesn't even dare to show its head. Isn't it supposed to be a dragon? Why does it look like a half-dead snake?"

"To be honest, if I were Qiao Mei, I'd be too embarrassed to bring something so shameful out in public. How could I buy things for such a terrible familiar? I doubt it would even last long."

The gossipers were both men and women, including a girl who said Ao Cang was ugly. Qiao Mei recognized her; in the memories she inherited from the original owner, this girl was always there when the original owner followed Xu Heyu around.

But it's estimated that it's not as rich or powerful as the original owner, and it doesn't even have Xu Heyu's autograph.

Seeing that the girl was still saying how ugly Ao Cang was and how unacceptable it was to take him out in public, Qiao Mei narrowed her red eyes and decided to use her as an example to warn others.

Before she could speak, she was interrupted by a deep, magnetic young voice.

The young man's voice was very pleasant, like the clear sound of pearls rolling onto a plate, but the words he spoke lacked refinement.

"I don't know if Qiao Mei's familiar beast is good-looking or not, but looking at you, your mother never even thought of putting you back in her womb to be remade. How dare you judge the beauty or ugliness of someone else's familiar beast?"

Qiao Mei was all too familiar with that voice; she knew who it was almost the instant the voice was heard.
