"Get ill?"
Qiao Mei found it a bit strange. If she remembered correctly, Qiao Yingying's usual posts on WeChat Moments were all about food and drinks, as well as travel.
After thinking for a moment, I opened the smart bracelet and browsed through Qiao Yingying's WeChat Moments.
Upon reviewing the photos, it was clear that Qiao Yingying's previous posts on social media were indeed very similar to what she remembered.
The only recent one, saying she was sick and couldn't go with the academy to watch the battle with the federal army, seemed rather abrupt.
This feeling is like someone who usually studies very hard suddenly posting a message on social media that says they're going to skip school and have completely broken their persona.
She didn't believe what Qiao Yingying said, but whispered to Ao Cang to remind him to be careful at all times.
Perhaps this is just a smokescreen devised by Qiao Yingying and Lai Tan.
Ao Cang had no objections; after all, it's always better to be safe than sorry.
The tour takes quite a while.
Qiao Mei's main purpose in coming to the interstellar monster battlefield this time was not to watch the battle, but to participate in the actual combat.
So after following the academy's team through the process and watching for a while, I basically understood how to fight the interstellar monsters once I was on the field, and then I left the spectator group with Ao Cang.
The teacher leading the team was Gong Jing, who was from the Federation Army. With his arrangements, it was relatively easy for Qiao Mei and Ao Cang to enter the primary interstellar battlefield together.
However, Ao Cang did not fight on the battlefield in human form, but rather in the form of a thunder dragon.
Qiao Mei is now a sophomore, and Ao Cang has obtained enough willpower to maintain his second-level Thunder Dragon form.
In this form, because his dragon wings and horns are larger, unlike his previous small black dragon form with the black snake, he can only wrap around Qiao Mei's arm instead of her neck.
In the early stages of the interstellar monster battlefield, because the monsters are of low level and small size, there is no need to deploy mechs.
Therefore, when Qiao Mei went in, she went in directly as a human.
Even so, she still put on the combat suit she had obtained from Miyako beforehand.
The combat suit is made of a very special material. When worn, it serves a similar function to armor, but is lighter and looks a bit like a bodysuit.
After Qiao Mei finished dressing herself, she glanced at the bare Thunder Dragon with only its scales. Although she knew it wouldn't be harmed by low-level interstellar monsters, she still asked Gong Jing if there were any clothes for its familiars.
This was the first time Gong Jing had ever heard of such a low-level battlefield requiring his summoned beasts to wear combat suits. After a moment of stunned silence, he gave Qiao Mei a definite answer.
"Yes, we do have it, but since no one has requested it in so long, it's been sitting in the warehouse gathering dust for ages. If you want it, you'll have to wait a bit. It should be ready in about fifteen minutes."
It's still early, only 9:20 a.m., and the sun is shining brightly outside.
Qiao Mei wasn't in a hurry. Holding the little black dragon in her arms, she sat quietly on the bench against the sunlight. When she reached out to gently stroke the scales on Ao Canglong's body, she thought about the fate she would still have to face after returning to this world, and her heart felt a little heavy.
The warm yellow sunlight shone on Ao Canglong's scales, giving them a beautiful sheen.
At this moment, they can be free of all worries, just sitting together quietly, enjoying a peaceful and serene moment.
If only things could always be like this...
Qiao Mei stroked Ao Canglong's scales, just like a cat or dog being stroked, which felt very comfortable.
But when he looked up at her, he was surprised to find that her red eyes were filled with emotions he couldn't understand.
Even though the sunlight outside was so bright, with most of it shining on her and her long, curly hair, he felt as if she were surrounded by an inescapable darkness.
"An'an?" He couldn't help but call out to her, interrupting her reverie.
She snapped out of her reverie, met his golden eyes, and asked with a faint smile, "What's wrong?"
"Is something on your mind? If so, you can tell me."
Ao Cang stopped maintaining the position where his dragon belly was almost turned over, and sat up, climbing up her arm and into her arms, rubbing his dragon face against hers.
Qiao Mei felt the warmth transmitted to her face. The thought that she might never be able to see his face again made her nose start to sting, and she couldn't control her emotions.
She didn't want Ao Cang to see her in this useless state, so she reached out and covered her two dragon eyes, took a deep breath to compose herself, and said half-jokingly, "It's not really that, but to be honest, I just want to be with you forever and ever."
Ao Cang didn't quite understand what was so difficult about this request.
He would never leave her if she wanted to.
But when he thought of the time she left him unexpectedly, and he couldn't even find a trace of her, he felt a lump in his throat.
After Qiao Mei withdrew her hand from his longan and her expression showed no problem, he asked her if she could go somewhere with him after the battle with the Federal Army.
"Where?"
"Keep it a secret for now. Just tell me if you're willing or not?"
Qiao Mei never refused Ao Cang's requests. After agreeing to his request, the battle suits of the beast companions transferred from the capital were delivered.
The combat suit can automatically shrink and adjust according to the size of the familiar beast.
Because Ao Cang's familiar beast form also has dragon wings and dragon horns, the combat suit specifically left holes in these two places. After it was finally generated, Qiao Mei looked at the Thunder Dragon wearing the gray-blue combat suit and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Cangcang, you look so cute like this!"
In his Thunder Dragon form, his horns are even larger than before, and when he stands, he looks like a little chick with a round body.
Wearing this combat outfit, she looked a lot like the kind of dolls with clothes that she had seen in shopping malls in her previous life.
Ao Cang felt a little helpless, but he wasn't angry.
As long as Qiao Mei is happy, he doesn't care what happens to her.
Gong Jing watched this scene from beside Qiao Mei, deeply agreeing with it, and even secretly turned on his smart brain bracelet to take a few photos of Ao Cang.
I thought to myself that I should get a few dolls that look like him to put at home.
With your combat gear ready, you can officially enter the interstellar monster battlefield.
Despite being called a battlefield, Qiao Mei found that the place resembled a primeval jungle after entering.
Inside, there were not only the calls of various birds and beasts, but also some mutated flying insects flying around.
Her main purpose this time was to see how it felt to actually fight the interstellar monsters, and also to take a complete interstellar monster wreckage out to exchange for interstellar coins, which would be used as offerings for Ao Cang later.
During the year that the original owner controlled this body, not only did she not manage the Xu family's shop properly, but she also lost a lot of money buying Xu Heyu's worthless merchandise.
As a result, Ao Cang received no offerings for a whole year, which broke her heart.
Now that she's back, the first thing she needs to do is make money!
Just then, a rather loud commotion came from the once quiet depths of the jungle, and the ground shook.
