Chapter 125 Deceiving Him
"Strange, why did you add me?"
Could it be that he wants to challenge her to a solo match?
Just as Qiao Mei was wondering whether to close the message, she received another friend request, but this time it had a note: "Dare to bet with me? If you win, you'll get a lot of interstellar coins."
This made her, who was about to close the application button, quickly click "agree" and immediately ask how much the high amount of interstellar coins he mentioned was.
The bodyguard's ID was a string of random letters, and Qiao Mei simply noted it down as "[Bet]".
It seems he didn't expect Qiao Mei to accept his application so quickly and ask him such a question right away.
After typing for a while, I replied to her.
[Bet]: "Five thousand interstellar coins, dare to bet?"
Five thousand interstellar coins is equivalent to Qiao Mei accepting a few more high-priced questions in the bounty section of the interstellar mech website.
A qualifying race would take at least an hour, and Qiao Mei hesitated whether or not to accept the offer.
But in the moment of her hesitation, the bettor thought she looked down on the 5,000 interstellar coins, and after gritting her teeth, she adjusted her bet to prove him wrong.
"50,000 Star Coins, dare to bet? If you dare, we'll meet in the ranked match next Saturday. Of course, you can bring some outside help, so you don't say I'm bullying you."
Qiao Mei had just seen the betting information. It seemed to be a smurf account that was boosting its win rate, and it was almost always the MVP (best player) in every game.
After thinking about it, she gave this reply—
[I'm just a passerby]: "That's fine, but you initiated this challenge. I was the one who was invited. If you win, I certainly won't pay the 50,000 Star Coins. That's just your own bargaining chip."
[Bet]: "What do you mean by that? You're trying to get something for nothing?"
Once money is involved, Qiao Mei's bottom line starts to veer towards the point of no return. After rolling her eyes, she replied to him: "What do you mean I got something for nothing? You initiated the challenge. I didn't want to accept it in the first place. If it weren't for these 50,000 interstellar coins, do you think you would still be here talking to me?"
Her time is also precious. If she has time to bet with him like a child, why doesn't she use that time to make money? Since he chose to challenge her to a duel, he is obviously buying her time with money.
The other party never expected Qiao Mei to be so pragmatic. Although they were furious, they couldn't swallow their anger because their 100% win rate as a bodyguard had been broken. They could only grit their teeth and agree to Qiao Mei's request.
In other words, if Qiao Mei wins, she'll earn 50,000 Star Coins for free; if she loses, it won't matter much.
Having settled the matter, Qiao Mei lost interest in reading the provocative and overtly confident messages she had sent in connection with the bet. She simply closed them expressionlessly, removed the connector, and went to the interstellar mech website's bounty section to accept some more bounties.
By the time everything was finished, it was already dark outside.
She stretched wearily and realized that Ao Cang hadn't come out of the hot spring yet.
So he stood up and went to call him.
"Cangcang, aren't you done soaking yet? You can't soak in hot springs for too long, half an hour is usually enough."
There was no movement from Ao Cang's side, so Qiao Mei decided to go in and check the situation.
Once inside, it was discovered that Ao Cang was not in the hot spring pool, but rather nestled in a fountain pool for viewing.
"Cangcang, what are you doing here?"
Ao Cang has the superpower of a water-type familiar. No matter how long he stays in the water, his skin will not wrinkle. Instead, he will feel very comfortable.
He stayed comfortably in the ornamental fountain pool.
He was only woken up when Qiao Mei's voice came through.
He stood up and replied to her in a very natural tone, "I'm soaking in the hot spring, An'an. Are you done with your work? Then come in quickly."
Qiao Mei didn't know before whether Ao Cang had ever soaked in a hot spring, but now, seeing him nestled in the cool fountain pool, she had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
Unable to suppress her laughter, she smiled and scooped the bewildered little black dragon out of the fountain, pointing to the nearby circular hot spring pool: "You've gone into the wrong one. This is the hot spring pool. Didn't you notice the water you're soaking in is cold?"
"Huh?" Ao Cang glanced at the fountain pool where he had been sitting for a short while, his dragon face flushed slightly. "I thought the water had gotten cold..."
"It's okay, perfect timing. I just came here for a soak too, it's the same if you soak with me."
As she spoke, Qiao Mei took off the towel covering her body, revealing the bright yellow swimsuit she had worn on the beach during the day.
Then his gaze fell on the still somewhat embarrassed Dragon God, his desire and affection for him were completely undisguised. He nuzzled the dragon's head and said in a coaxing tone, "Soaking in a hot spring is generally more effective when you are in human form. Cangcang, didn't you tell me yesterday that you can transform into human form for almost half an hour longer?"
Indeed, including the half hour used yesterday, Ao Cang can use his human body for another half hour today.
but.......
He looked at the stunningly beautiful girl whose gaze was so intense it felt like it was melting him, and felt a little embarrassed.
"An'an, do you humans act like this when you're with your beloved pets?"
"Like me? What do you mean?"
"It's just that... I really enjoy being close to my pets."
When Ao Cang said the word "close," he lowered his dragon head so low that Qiao Mei could even see a cloud of white steam rising from his head.
After a moment of stunned silence, I could only think that Ao Cang was incredibly cute.
Unable to resist, he hugged him while he was still in his little black dragon form and kissed his dragon face hard a few times, smearing his face with saliva. As the kisses made his dragon body even hotter, he smiled mischievously and replied, "Yes, that's how it is."
The poor dragon god, unaware that he had been deceived, gently uttered an "oh" and then transformed into an eighteen-year-old human form.
Qiao Mei stared at the red marks on his body that were almost as bad as hers, or even worse, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
After all, during the day, she had been forced to "blindly acknowledge" Ao Cang, this "mosquito," for quite a while, along with Shu Qingqing.
He was so embarrassed by what he said that he didn't dare to look up at her.
"Then, An'an, can I hug you like I did yesterday?"
He didn't know why, but when he hugged her in human form, feeling the warmth of her body and hearing her heartbeat, his heart would swell with sweetness.
When the boy asked this question, he carefully raised his delicate face, and the golden eyes hidden under his long eyelashes were perhaps because he had followed her into the bath, where a little steam had risen.
But at this moment, his golden eyes were shining brightly, and he was looking at Qiao Mei with longing eyes. That unintentional allure reached its peak at this moment.
Qiao Mei's heart skipped a beat at his gaze. After cursing under her breath, she grabbed his chin, her eyes burning.
"certainly."
"You can do more for me too."
Qiao Mei: That innocent little black dragon is so easy to fool!
