Chapter 133 Don't just stare at him, look at him more.
"An'an." Ao Cang held the black card in his little dragon claw and handed it to Qiao Mei. Before he could say anything, Qiao Mei refused.
"Cangcang, don't even think about it. I won't use this money. Keep it for yourself and see how you want to use it later."
This time, Ao Cang seemed quite insistent, directly shoving the black card into Qiao Mei's hand, his golden eyes reflecting her surprised face: "I just want to use it for myself. Since it's money I earned by selling dragon blood, there shouldn't be any problem using it on myself, right?"
His answer left Qiao Mei speechless. Looking at the black card handed to her, she asked, "So, I used it on you this time, but what about next time? If you see it works well and make me happy, will you...?"
“No, I won’t.” Ao Cang interrupted her, nuzzling her with his dragon head, and said firmly, “If it were before, I might have thought that way, but after knowing what you’re thinking, of course I won’t hold onto that idea anymore. Just this once, let me use these interstellar coins, just to restore my own health.”
Qiao Mei still didn't budge, and asked Ao Cang which of the 30 million interstellar coins was the most effective for him compared to the dragon blood he had given him.
Judging from his current recovery status as a dragon, even if he uses 30 million interstellar coins, it will only help him grow a few dragon scales.
It's not as good as the dragon blood effect he mentioned before.
Seeing his silence, Qiao Mei guessed the answer. This time, she accepted the black card, but still had no intention of using it.
Instead, they continued to ask him if he remembered who sold the dragon blood back then.
"I'll find some time to go with you and see if there's any chance we can get that dragon blood back."
Qiao Mei understood Ao Cang's current situation quite well. It was the same as someone who donated an organ but only received some monetary compensation, and then used the money to buy medicine to nourish their body.
No matter how good the medicine is, it can't compare to the organ that was donated before. Since that's the case, she has to help Ao Cang get the dragon blood back, even if it means using some forceful methods.
It just so happens that Wednesday afternoons are the time for club activities at school.
Qiao Mei didn't want to waste time on anything unrelated to Ao Cang. After politely declining Shu Qingqing's invitation to join the music club, she put on a black baseball cap to cover most of her pretty face and left the Federal Academy.
The girl's usual fuchsia dress was replaced with a black hoodie and trousers, and she wore white sneakers for this mission.
She styled her long, wavy hair, which reached her waist, into a bun, giving herself a complete makeover.
Looking at her, who was so different from usual, Ao Cang had the illusion that this was the real her.
"Alright, thank you, Grandpa. I've already left the academy and am heading to the black market. I should be able to see that star student you mentioned soon."
Knowing her own limitations, Qiao Mei didn't intend to rashly go alone with Ao Cang to the black market auction house.
She directly sought help from her current biggest backer – Xu Wenfeng.
Xu Wenfeng knew many of her secrets, including a lot about Ao Cang's health. So when she was considering who to ask for help, he was her first choice.
And Xu Wenfeng certainly did not disappoint her.
He said he had a favorite student who made a living in the black market and held a rather high position, being the second-in-command there. He said that if the matter was entrusted to his favorite student, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Xu Wenfeng didn't give her the information about this star pupil, only saying that the person didn't pay much attention to such things, and she would know when she met him.
The place where the man was staying was the largest gambling den in the black market. After Qiao Mei showed Xu Wenfeng an electronic evidence, the receptionist at the door led her to the VIP room on the seventh floor of the gambling den to wait.
"Please have some tea first, the boss will be here soon."
Qiao Mei took the tea but didn't drink it. Instead, she walked to the window to look at the situation below.
It's only a little past 2 PM, but because it's a cloudy day, the heavy, dark clouds give the illusion that it's already dark.
The buildings shrouded in darkness all have a sense of old age and decay, which is the opposite of the bright and beautiful buildings outside.
Looking at the surroundings, Qiao Mei felt as if she were seeing places she had been in her previous life.
Ao Cang noticed her distraction, lightly touched her with his dragon claw, and asked her what was wrong.
Qiao Mei snapped out of her reverie, banishing the filthy, rotten memories from her mind, and shook her head: "It's nothing, I was just spacing out, don't overthink it."
She likes to lower her eyelids when she lies.
Ao Cang had spent a considerable amount of time with her and was already quite familiar with this aspect of her.
Seeing that she didn't really want to discuss the topic further, he could only keep quiet and pretend he knew nothing.
Just then, a knock came from the doorway, which had been silent until now.
"Knock knock..."
After the knocking, the person outside didn't speak, but simply pushed the door open.
The moment the door was pushed open, a strong smell of blood filled Qiao Mei's nostrils.
She turned around and looked up at the person with her red eyes. She was clearly taken aback when she realized that the person was much younger than she had imagined.
The young man who appeared at the door looked to be only about twenty-one years old. What was most eye-catching was his buzz cut and the black bandage wrapped around his entire right cheek. His eagle eyes gave people a strange sense of unease when they stared at them.
