"Cangcang, do you plan to use it as a nest later?"
The gemstone nest she bought him before is still perfectly fine, why would he sleep in this seashell?
Ao Cang paused for a moment upon hearing this, then chuckled and said, "Of course not. This size is more suitable for me to sleep in in my human form. I made it so that I could take An'an with me to sleep in it."
"The glowing seashells in the deep sea are different from those that are blown ashore by the waves. You'll find out after we take a shower and lie down."
Since he said so, Qiao Mei had no choice but to believe him.
After taking a simple shower with him and changing into her pajamas, she went inside the seashell and discovered that it was surprisingly soft to lie on.
Regarding the shell, she and Ao Cang had only seen its general appearance in the deep sea and hadn't had a chance to touch the shell inside, so she didn't know there was this surprise.
Ao Cang also lay down inside. Although it was still pouring rain outside, as soon as the other half of the shell closed, the shell became completely silent. The sounds of thunder, rain, wind, and other noises outside could not be heard at all.
Not only that, but a vast expanse of "stars" appeared before Qiao Mei's eyes, as beautiful as the starry sky.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the "star" was actually some unknown substance covering the seashell, emitting a beautiful, shimmering blue light.
It feels almost the same as being in the starry sky.
As Qiao Mei was speechless with admiration for the beautiful scene, the warmth of the man beside her slowly drew closer until he completely embraced her.
Ao Cang's golden eyes reflected her slightly stunning face as he asked, "An'an, do you like it?"
He had seen countless such things at the bottom of the sea before, so he didn't feel anything about them.
I never expected that Qiao Mei would like it.
"Yes, I like it, but there are things I like even more."
Qiao Mei looked away, lost in thought as she recalled the first time she met Ao Cang, and the dragon scales that were as beautiful as black jade she had seen on his body.
Ao Cang opened the seashell lid and asked curiously, "What do you like even more? Would you mind telling me what it is?"
Qiao Mei knew that if she told him, Ao Cang would definitely transform into his complete black dragon form, which would be quite damaging to him at the moment.
So instead of telling him the truth directly, she said to him, "I'll tell you when I have the chance. Right now, you need to rest quickly. Qingqing said she's arranged for us to climb a mountain tomorrow. If you don't get enough rest, you probably won't have the energy."
It's still early, just past nine o'clock.
Ao Cang wasn't stupid; he vaguely guessed something from Qiao Mei's slightly concealed look, so he didn't press the matter.
But he didn't agree to let her rest so early.
Just as she was about to get up from the seashell bed and leave, Ao Cang grabbed her and whispered in her ear, "An'an, don't rush off. There's another use for this seashell that you haven't yet discovered."
"What's its purpose?" Qiao Mei looked down at the seashell beneath her and felt that apart from its good stability, which prevented it from shaking, it didn't seem to have anything else to offer.
It looks exactly like a regular seashell.
Ao Cang didn't reply to her first. Instead, he put the other shell back on, creating a starry sky-like ceiling. Then, he reached out and poured some water into the edge where the shells were joined.
In less than ten seconds, Qiao Mei watched helplessly as the starry sky dome turned into a transparent dome.
The seashell was so translucent that it was like looking into a mirror.
Qiao Mei: "...Is this the other function you mentioned?"
She said, "What's so strange about looking in a mirror?"
But when she saw Ao Cang's reddened ears and slightly shy eyes, she realized that what he meant by the seashell turning into a mirror was definitely not just that it could be turned into a mirror; there was another layer of meaning.
But this is just her own guess; she needs to confirm with him to find out for sure.
If he doesn't, and then thinks she's some kind of female pervert, that would be troublesome.
"Cangcang, come closer, I have something to ask you."
Ao Cang nodded obediently. In order to hear more clearly, he even lifted up a strand of silver hair that was covering his ears, revealing his beautiful and lustrous ears.
The girl's lips drew closer, her warm breath brushing against his ear as her lips opened and closed, raising his body temperature several degrees. Her long, thick eyelashes, like tiny fans, blinked rapidly.
The frequency of his blinking increased considerably after he heard Qiao Mei's question, to the point that he dared not look up and meet her gaze.
He forced himself to calm down, and his eyelashes finally stopped trembling. He bit his lip, his face flushed, and nodded: "Yes... that's how it is, but if An'an, you don't want to, we won't sleep in the seashell bed tonight."
To be honest, he himself felt that his idea was a bit too bold.
However, during his previous encounters with Qiao Mei, he discovered that she seemed to prefer this kind of interaction, which led him to boldly come up with this idea.
Of course, he wasn't doing this just to please Qiao Mei. As time went on and he became more familiar with these things, he also wanted to try more with Qiao Mei.
To be precise, he thought that both of them might need it.
Qiao Mei's subsequent reaction indeed confirmed his guess.
Her red eyes deepened, and she sat up. Although she was rather petite, she gave him the illusion of being as tall as a mountain.
She trapped him, but instead of making any immediate moves, she began to examine the seashell bed.
Once she was sure it wouldn't be easily opened or that no sound would come out from inside, she lowered her head and kissed his lips lightly.
Then she whispered in his ear, "Cangcang, the shell bed is very soundproof, so tonight you don't have to do what you did before."
Just like before, even without being asked, Ao Cang could guess instantly.
A faint mist rose in his beautiful eyes, and a thin layer of pink crept onto his skin, making him look like an adorable little dog. He murmured an "Mmm."
After that, all control was handed over to Qiao Mei.
...
The next morning, Shu Qingqing made breakfast herself, which was a rare occurrence. However, Qiao Mei looked exhausted while eating it, and didn't seem to have much of an appetite.
"Qiaoqiao, did you go thief last night? Why are you so sleepy? Didn't I tell you we were going hiking today? You still slept so late, are you crazy?!"
The mountain we're climbing today is the most famous and largest mountain on Orchid Star. It can take a whole day to climb from start to finish.
This is assuming there are no unforeseen circumstances or extreme weather.
Therefore, getting plenty of rest before setting off is essential.
Qiao Mei glanced at the boy sitting next to her who didn't dare to utter a sound, and ultimately took the responsibility upon herself.
