Chapter 158 Mysterious Man Saves Us
The dragon blood belonged to Ao Cang, and he used his divine power to take it back the moment he obtained it.
But at the same time, he was also surrounded by many people who couldn't see him.
Using his night vision, he saw that Qiao Mei had helped Cong Lie up, but they hadn't fled yet. So instead of leaving immediately, he changed his position to continue attracting the attention of Qiao Ziming and the others. He threw out a few vials of the fake "dragon blood" that Qiao Mei had given him earlier, and watched as everyone scrambled for them.
After that, just in case, he continued to use his divine power to conceal his presence and placed the card with a balance of 30 million interstellar coins back where the dragon blood had been placed at the beginning.
After doing all that, he looked towards where Qiao Mei had been and found that she was no longer in sight. Only then did he feel relieved and follow her scent to chase after her.
However, using his divine power to conceal his form for an extended period of time had left him feeling dizzy and disoriented.
I couldn't even keep my feet moving anymore.
But he absolutely could not allow his appearance or bestial form to be exposed to people.
So after looking around, he could only fix his gaze on a sewer leading outdoors.
Before leaving, in order not to worry Qiao Mei, he wanted to whisper his plans to the smart bracelet, but he only managed to say, "An'an, I'm going out too. See you outside later." Then he fainted in his little black dragon form and fell into the sewer.
Qiao Mei had already led Cong Lie out of the warehouse area. After using the emergency kit on her smart bracelet to stop the bleeding and do some simple bandaging, she took out the clothes that she and Cong Lie had prepared beforehand and struggled to change him into them.
He was injured in the lower abdomen. After the bleeding stopped and he drank several vials of recovery fluid, his face was no longer as pale as before, and he had the strength to continue dressing himself.
Seeing this, Qiao Mei took off her work jacket while asking about the news from Ao Cang's side.
As soon as I raised my smart bracelet, I heard a voice that grew fainter and fainter.
She immediately wanted to impulsively turn back to find him, but Cong Lie grabbed her arm.
"Don't go. Since he said he's already out, he must be safe. If you're really worried, you can still check his condition. Haven't the familiar and the awakened one already signed a contract?"
If Cong Lie hadn't mentioned it, Qiao Mei would have almost forgotten.
She hurriedly closed her eyes to sense it and found that Ao Cang's power was still pulsating, only slightly weaker than before, which put her at ease.
But it's only a little bit.
After she found Shang Duojin and the others, she handed Cong Lie over to them and then went back to the vicinity of the warehouse to find Ao Cang without even offering an explanation.
Given Ao Cang's condition, it's impossible for him to maintain his human form for too long.
By now, it should have transformed back into its original form as a small black dragon.
“Little Black Dragon… Little Black Dragon, where could he come from…” Qiao Mei muttered anxiously to herself, when suddenly an answer came to her mind, and her gaze fell on the stone slab cover that was blocking the sewage.
She possesses the superpower of a water-type familiar, allowing her to directly channel her water-type energy into sewage for searching.
Sure enough, not long after, she found Ao Cang under the cover of some unknown sewer and brought him out.
At this point, the auction house staff were thrown into chaos and sent many people out to search the area.
Qiao Mei didn't know how far Ao Cang had progressed in his plan, so she could only carry the little black dragon, which she had cleaned with her water-based superpowers but still had a strong odor, back to find Shang Duojin and the others.
She remembered clearly that Shu Qingqing had a strong perfume scent around her today, so she must have brought perfume with her. She could borrow it from her to cover up the smell for Ao Cang.
Shang Duojin, being of noble status, had already found a private room to go into after receiving Cong Lie from Qiao Mei.
Upon receiving Qiao Mei's call via personal terminal, he immediately instructed his bodyguard to pick her up.
"Remember, if anyone tries to stop her, just say she's my date tonight, understand?"
There is a big difference between a female companion and a friend. The bodyguard accepted the order and understood how important Qiao Mei was to Shang Duojin.
Go down to the next floor.
As expected, Qiao Mei was stopped by the male waiter at the door on the first floor.
It's already 7:50, and there are only ten minutes left before the auction officially begins.
Generally, within the first ten minutes, applications from ordinary people to enter will be rejected, except for those of high status and prestige.
Qiao Mei had already expended a lot of her energy by using her water-based superpowers to destroy the surveillance and a large number of electronic devices in the auction warehouse.
Later, he used it to search for Ao Cang in the sewer, and his mental energy was almost completely depleted.
She had no energy left to argue with the waiter, and she was also afraid that the people searching for her would find her.
Just as she was about to call Shang Duojin again, her swaying body was supported by a force.
"She's a friend I brought with me. Are you sure you still want to stop her?"
The female voice coming from behind sounded very mature and magnetic.
When Qiao Mei was embraced from behind, she smelled a strong fragrance of osmanthus, which made her feel much more awake.
She wanted to turn around and look at her, but she was too weak to even stand up. She could only lean on the arm around her waist for support.
Upon seeing the electronic ID presented by the visitor, the waiter immediately showed respect and opened the entrance for him.
Qiao Mei was then led into the auction house by the girl behind her.
But just after turning a corner, she no longer had the strength to stand, her legs went weak and all her weight leaned towards the girl.
Upon seeing this, the girl paused for a moment before supporting her and lifting her up in her arms.
The bodyguard who followed the girl in late saw this scene and instinctively wanted to help her, but she stopped him: "No need, you clear the way and make room for her as soon as possible."
The girl in her arms was exceptionally beautiful, but whether it was just her imagination or not, she always felt there was a strange smell coming from inside her collar.
So he told the bodyguard to find a private room with a bathroom.
A private room with a bathroom is essentially a small room.
Ordinary people wouldn't be able to get it at the black market auction house, but the girl's bodyguard was very quick, getting it done in less than ten minutes.
The girl had brought extra clothes and noticed that Qiao Mei's clothes also had a strange, foul smell. After thinking for a moment, she took her into the bathroom.
......
When Qiao Mei regained consciousness, she not only felt much better, but also felt a faint fragrance of osmanthus on her body.
It felt to her like being in a sea of osmanthus blossoms.
Wait, osmanthus?!
She suddenly realized what was happening and instinctively opened her bloodshot eyes to look in front of her.
The moment she opened her eyes, she was met with a stunningly beautiful face that rivaled her own.
A new character has appeared! Just between you and me, in a way, she actually appeared quite early, even before Shang Duojin and the others!
