Chapter 99 It's because I feel sorry for you

He endured the physical discomfort when he received the interstellar card containing a huge sum of money, thinking that this little believer would be very happy to receive such a gift.

But in reality, she wasn't happy at all; in fact, she wanted to return the things to him.

She even got teary-eyed because of this incident.

The Dragon God fell into deep self-doubt, and his golden eyes dimmed, like a fallen star.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Mei paused for a moment, then walked up to him, cupped his chubby little face in her hands, and asked him why he had such a thought.

“I’ve never felt that you’ve caused me any trouble. You have in the past, and you always will be in the future. Don’t make that face. It makes me uncomfortable.”

Ao Cang met her earnest and tender-looking bloodshot eyes, but his gaze unconsciously drifted towards her moist lips.

The soft, sweet sensation of his lips against hers flashed through her mind, and she hastily looked away, lowering her long eyelashes as she asked in a muffled voice:

"But if you don't have it, why won't you accept it? Do you really want to know its origin before you'll accept it?"

Qiao Mei pulled him into her arms, using her warm body heat to soothe his inner conflict and confusion, and replied:

"It's not that I'm refusing to accept it out of spite because I don't know its origin. It's because I know for sure that you obtained it when you were severely weakened. If I accept it this time, do you think there will be a next time? Hmm?"

The girl's voice was very gentle, and her faint rose scent enveloped Ao Cang's body, like an invisible hand caressing him, causing his brows, which were furrowed with confusion and frustration, to relax.

He stepped out of her warm embrace, staring at her with his golden eyes in a daze, and asked, "So, you only refused the interstellar card I offered because you didn't want to see me get hurt?"

Qiao Mei nodded, her voice clear and gentle: "Yes, but to be precise, it's because I feel sorry for you."

“You know your own physical condition. You’ve been enduring severe pain all along, but because I’m useless and can’t earn more money in the short term, you have to endure even more pain. I see you suffering, and I feel just as much pain as you do.”

Even several times or dozens of times.

But Qiao Mei didn't say the rest. Instead, she picked up the Star Card on the table and forcefully shoved it into Ao Cang's hand:

"So you can decide how to use this money yourself. After all, it's your own money. As for the money to be offered to you, I will find a way to earn more. You are in poor health now, so you are already the weaker party. You can leave the matter of earning money to support the family to me."

She didn't actually mind that Ao Cang had always relied on her and had always let her support him.

Only in this way can their bond deepen, and only then can she have more opportunities to get from him more of what she has longed for so many times before...

Ao Cang glanced at the interstellar card in his hand, then at his little believer whose heart and eyes were filled with him.

The seed that had already sprouted in my heart seemed to have been suddenly fertilized, and began to grow vigorously, transforming from a newly sprouted bud into a seedling.

"Okay, I promise you, I won't do anything like this again. I'm really sorry for all the trouble I've caused you."

Qiao Mei put her arm around Ao Cang's waist, pulled him onto her lap, and rubbed his chubby little face as she said helplessly, "What are you apologizing for? We're not the kind of people who need to apologize. If anyone should say something, it's me. It's my fault for not being strong enough to make you not have to suffer this kind of grievance."

It was also because she was too willful and reckless, barging into his world before everything was ready, causing him, who should have been a high and mighty god, to be tainted by the mundane world because of her, a mortal, and even daring to sacrifice his health for money.

Seeing Qiao Mei's remorseful and guilty expression, Ao Cang swallowed the words of argument he was about to say.

This is the second time since we met and got to know each other that I've felt utterly powerless.

He is clearly a god, yet he always needs this little believer to help him protect and guard him.

The Dragon God felt inferior. He buried his head in Qiao Mei's arms, wrapped his arms tightly around her slender waist, smelled her fragrance, and felt the warmth emanating from her body.

When his ears turned pink without him even realizing it, he murmured, "Okay, I won't say anymore. I won't say anything more from now on. I'll listen to whatever you say, An'an."

At this moment, the two were like fledglings who had fallen from their nest and were huddling together for warmth.

After that, no one spoke anymore.

After Ao Cang's human form time ran out and he turned back into a little black dragon, Qiao Mei finished her daily offering of interstellar coins to him, which helped him improve his condition. Seeing that he seemed to be asleep, she opened her light brain bracelet to watch the video that she had been watching halfway through but was interrupted by Shang Duojin.

Upon seeing this, she was almost petrified.

In the video, the girl, who looked drunk and acted like a female hooligan, not only sat in Ao Cang's arms but also sat on his lap.

Then... she kissed him a few times?! And on the lips!!

Qiao Mei's soul drifted out from the corner of her mouth, and she became completely bewildered, utterly unaware that she had actually done such a thing to Ao Cang in a "beastly" manner.

She explained that the reason he asked her if she remembered what she had done after she sobered up was because of this incident...

After being petrified for about five minutes, Qiao Mei's brain, which had been frozen in place, finally restarted.

She turned off her smart bracelet and was even a little hesitant to look at Ao Cang.

Although one of her long-held wishes has come true, it was achieved through her forceful coercion, which inevitably makes her feel a little embarrassed.

However, amidst her embarrassment, she remembered something else.

That is, how come he didn't seem to feel any aversion to this matter? When he asked her, there wasn't even a hint of discomfort or disgust in his eyes.

If it's not disgust, then could it be...?

"Buzzing..."

【Three Sworn Brothers Group】:

Eldest brother, Shang Duojin: Second sister, third sister, aren't you going to the bonfire party tonight? If not, then I won't go either.

Second sister Shu Qingqing: I might go. Senior Zuo said there will be free food and drinks at the bonfire party, so of course I'm going. You guys probably don't want to go, right? @Big brother Shang Duojin @Third sister Qiao Mei

Qiao Mei: "......."

After feeling helpless, she replied with an "Mm" and told Shu Qingqing to have fun.

As for her.......

Qiao Mei glanced at the little black dragon whose scales had only recovered a few, sighed, and then opened her computer bracelet to check out the bounty question and answer section on the interstellar mech website.

I found that income was still very slow, and the largest single income was only a few thousand.

After thinking for a while, I asked Gan Gan if she knew any other ways to make money.

Qiao Mei: When will I be able to get Cangcang to willingly live off me?

Ao Cang: No.
