Chapter 109 Military Training Ends
Qiao Mei interrupted him urgently: "There's no need to change it. I'm overjoyed that you have these thoughts about me. There's absolutely no need to change it!!"
Ao Cang was confused and subconsciously asked, "Why are you so happy?"
Qiao Mei: "........."
Surely you can't say that she had ulterior motives towards him from the very beginning when she approached him?
After thinking for a moment, she assumed that Ao Cang couldn't see in the darkness, so she darted around and glanced around. It was obvious that she was lying to him: "Because this means that our relationship is slowly becoming more familiar, and of course I don't want to stay in a cold relationship with you forever."
After saying that, she urged Ao Cang to transform back into his boyish form after half an hour so he could draw on the willpower he hadn't yet obtained today, and then she muted her microphone.
He looked as if he was afraid she would let something slip if she continued talking.
Ao Cang knew she was lying, but he didn't call her out on it.
Anyway, he really didn't want to change that.
The Dragon God's golden eyes darkened, unaware that an emotion he himself had not noticed had taken root in them.
He held Qiao Mei tightly, like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood that could save his life.
Qiao Mei noticed his movements and obediently relaxed her body to make it easier for him to do so.

On the day the military training ended, Qiao Mei, Shang Duojin, and Shu Qingqing talked about having dinner with Xu Heyu and asked them what their plans were.
The group had all returned to their temporary dormitory and started packing. After seeing the message Qiao Mei sent in the "Three Sworn Brothers" group, they all replied.
【The Three Sworn Brothers】:
Second sister Shu Qingqing: I'll be going back to Lanhua Star for a banquet. I'll check my schedule to see which day it's on.
Big Brother Shang Duojin: Wow, anyone who didn't know better would think you're the CEO of some Fortune 500 company. Your schedule is so busy, you even have to check your schedule first. Unlike me, as Qiao Mei's most reliable friend, of course any day is fine with me!! (Dog holding a wine glass JPG)
After the military training ended, there was a short holiday of nearly seven days. On the first day, Qiao Mei planned to go back to Empire Star to see Xu Hui and Xu Wenfeng. After that, she didn't have any plans. She selectively ignored Shang Duojin's disparaging remarks and told Shu Qingqing that she could spend the last six days of the holiday if nothing unexpected happened.
But just after sending the message, Qiao Mei's personal computer vibrated, and Li Chonghua's personal computer sent a message.
[Dean Li]: "Xiao Mei, the elements inside Star Stone QC520 have been extracted. When do you have time to come and pick it up? I'll teach you how to use it then."
Shu Qingqing replied, saying that there should be nothing to do on the third day of the holiday, and they could arrange to meet on that day.
Coincidentally, Li Chonghua was also on the Imperial Star, so Qiao Mei told him that she would bring Ao Cang there the day after tomorrow morning.
[Three Sworn Brothers Group Chat]:
Third sister Qiao Mei: "But where should we meet for dinner? Do you have any recommendations?"
Big Brother Shang Duojin: "First, let's rule out the Federation Star. There are a lot of soldiers on the Federation Star. Although the food there is healthy, it's really hard to eat. I've been eating in the canteen during military training these past few days, and it's made me feel emaciated. As for Orchid Star, I haven't been there much, so I don't know much about it."
Second sister Shu Qingqing: "The things on the Federation Star are alright, not as bad as you say, but they certainly can't compare to what's here at home. If you don't mind, you can come to my place. I'll cover your travel expenses and food and lodging! I have quite a few restaurants here that taste pretty good and are reasonably priced, but I don't know if you'll be able to get used to the food."
There are many places to eat on Imperial Star, but the prices are a bit high.
Qiao Mei considered Shu Qingqing's family situation and her strong-willed nature, and then said it was possible; it all depended on Shang Duojin's choice.
Shang Duojin had never been to a planet like Orchid Star, where ordinary people lived, and he had wanted to go for a long time, but his family had always strongly opposed it, saying that it was a place for the lower classes and full of germs, and that they would not let him go.
She clearly wanted to go, but when she returned, she pretended to be reluctant, haughtily saying, "Since that's the case, I'll reluctantly come along too, but let's make it clear first, if the hospitality is poor, you'll be in for a beating, you bad woman!!"
Once this matter was settled, Qiao Mei began looking at the tickets back to the Imperial Star and asked Ao Cang if his semi-transparent, semi-solid state as an eighteen-year-old human would improve after he used up that star stone.
"I'll try to see where else these star stones are still being sold."
After saying that, even though Qiao Mei knew that Ao Cang's final human form was the size of a twenty-four-year-old, she still asked him what age he would be when he could finally transform into his largest human form.
Ao Cang, now eight years old, was hugging Qiao Mei's waist and leaning against her body to absorb her willpower. Hearing this, he answered her previous question uncertainly: "If nothing unexpected happens, it might be possible, but we'll have to wait and see how things turn out."
"As for the largest human form I can transform into, the one I've ever had is twenty-four years old. Is that so?"
Eighteen and twenty-four years old may seem like only a six-year difference, but the difference in temperament and appearance is actually quite significant.
In the original book, the author did not provide any specific description of the twenty-four-year-old Ao Cang. Throughout the book, he was only described with words such as "usually wearing a black cloak to cover his face", "has shoulder-length slightly curly silver hair", and "golden eyes".
She knew nothing more about it, so of course she was very curious.
After she finished working on the fact that Ao Cang's largest human form was laid out at the age of twenty-four, she remembered that even in his current eight-year-old physical state, he could still release his eighteen-year-old human form in advance. Although it was semi-transparent, her appearance was still clearly visible.
So I asked him again when he would reach the twenty-four-year-old form.
"Do we need to wait until you're eighteen and your human form is stable?"
Ao Cang nodded: "Yes, but if you'd like, I can try to expedite it..."
"Then there's no need." Qiao Mei interrupted him, remembering how pale he would become every time he transformed into his eighteen-year-old human form ahead of time. She didn't want to selfishly build her own happiness on Ao Cang's suffering.
After saying that, fearing that he might not listen to her and would continue to do it secretly, she solemnly told him about it again.
"Your body has become much weaker because you exchanged those 30 million interstellar coins, so don't think about transforming into your 24-year-old human form ahead of time. As for your 18-year-old human form, try to transform into it as little as possible afterward. Anyway, as long as it's you, I can accept you in any form or at any age."
Qiao Mei: That's what they say, but I still really want to see it!! As I get older, other parts of my body will change too, right? (Drooling)
Ao Cang: ...........
