Upon closer inspection, the dim lighting makes it even easier to spot.
He had lived in the deep sea for a long time and was more sensitive to light than the average person.
Just by looking at it, you can tell whether the light is what you should have during the day or at night.
But instead of directly exposing Qiao Mei, he calmly asked her if she was hurt anywhere.
Qiao Mei shook her head: "No, I can still share your divine power. You'll definitely know if we encounter any problems."
Ao Cang checked on her to make sure she wasn't seriously injured before he breathed a sigh of relief. He then told her that he had something to show her after dinner.
"What is it that I can't look at now?"
The girl's red eyes were filled with curiosity. Because she wasn't very hungry, she didn't really want to eat the rest of the meal.
"That probably won't work."
Ao Cang recalled the two rather bloody tentacles and felt that if Qiao Mei actually saw them, she probably wouldn't be able to eat.
With no other option, Qiao Mei could only obediently finish her dinner and then follow Ao Cang to the bathroom.
As soon as she opened the bathroom door, she smelled a strong odor of blood.
And perhaps because she inherited some of Ao Cang's traits, she could even sense that the smell of blood was somewhat familiar.
But she couldn't quite place it, so she could only keep walking in.
Ao Cang filled the bathtub in the bathroom with water and covered it with a disposable bathtub bag. Inside, like a bag for pork, were two particularly thick tentacles.
The moment Qiao Mei saw the tentacles, she realized where she had seen them.
"These are... Lai Tan's tentacles? When did you cut them off?"
After asking the question, Qiao Mei remembered that Ao Cang had mentioned going to Shang Duojin's house to learn how to cook, and immediately realized the truth.
"You...you didn't lie to me before and went to fight Lai Tan on your own, did you?"
After asking the question, she nervously transformed Ao Cang back into his thunder dragon form, wanting to thoroughly examine his physical condition.
"You managed to sever two of his tentacles, so you must be badly injured too. Let me see!"
Qiao Mei's attitude was firm, so Ao Cang had no choice but to obediently transform back into his Thunder Dragon form.
Then she saw that a large patch of his scales had fallen off, and there were several scratches on his horns and wings.
It doesn't look very serious, but it's definitely not mild either.
Ao Cang noticed her face darken, her long eyelashes fluttered, and she whispered in her defense, "I'm not lying to you. I just remembered this after I finished learning how to cook, and then I went to find Lai Tan and got into a fight, and ended up with some minor injuries..."
"A minor injury?!" Qiao Mei's voice rose sharply as she pointed to the patch of dragon scales that had been bald. "You call this a minor injury? I usually have to offer you a lot of interstellar coins to pray for you to grow back even one dragon scale. Now you've lost a large patch, and you still call it a minor injury?!"
She wasn't upset about the money, but rather about why Ao Cang didn't know how to take care of himself.
She really wanted Lai Tan and the others to pay the price, but she definitely didn't want to do it this way.
Although Ao Cang's mental state looked good in his Thunder Dragon form, the scars on his body were quite frightening.
Especially the deep scratch on the dragon's horn.
If she looked any deeper, she felt that Ao Cang's icy blue dragon horns would break off.
I'm so angry!!
Qiao Mei felt sorry for Lai Tan and wanted to touch it, but she didn't dare to. She couldn't care less about looking at Lai Tan's two tentacles that looked like pork anymore. Instead, she opened her computer bracelet and started counting the interstellar coins she had just earned.
"And...and more than 50,000 interstellar coins. After I offer them all to you, will your injuries be alleviated considerably?"
Ao Cang was seriously injured this time. Let alone 50,000 interstellar coins, even 500,000 interstellar coins would only be a drop in the bucket.
But looking at the girl in front of him with red eyes, he couldn't bear to tell her the truth and lied, saying, "Yes, that's fine."
Qiao Mei was waiting for him to say those words. After he put away Lai Tan's tentacles, she pulled him out to make an offering.
Since it's acting, it can't be too fake.
In order to deceive Qiao Mei, Ao Cang even used his divine power to alter his wounds.
After the offering was finished, she saw that his condition had indeed improved a lot, and she breathed a sigh of relief and turned him back into human form.
"If something like this happens again, you must discuss it with me first, understand?"
The girl looked at him intently, cupping Ao Cang's delicate face in her hands, originally just to talk to him.
But as they talked, she became quite fond of the feel of his handsome face and started kneading it.
Ao Cang was a little uncomfortable from being rubbed, but he didn't frown and just let her do as she pleased.
However, his answer quickly made Qiao Mei stop what she was doing and frown at him.
"It might not work."
Given Qiao Mei's personality, if she really knew, there's probably an 80% or higher chance she wouldn't agree.
Even if she agreed, she would still be worried.
It's better to do it first and then tell her later, and then let her worry about it after it's all done, than to keep worrying about it.
"Cangcang, you're making me angry." Qiao Mei withdrew her hand, her tone turning cold.
If it were something else, or another opponent, then it would be fine.
But Lai Tan is different.
He is a god just like Ao Cang. If he really gets angry, Ao Cang might not be able to escape unscathed.
That's why she set her sights on Qiao Yingying from the very beginning, since she was easier to manipulate than Lai Tan.
This time, Ao Cang's attitude was also quite tough. He knew that Qiao Mei wasn't trying to scare her, but he still didn't back down.
"I'm sorry, An'an, but I really can't compromise on this. I can't stand by and watch someone want your life. I can only promise you that I will be extra careful if something like this happens again, so..."
As he said this, he reached out his long, slender hand, wanting to touch Qiao Mei, but she took a step back and dodged him.
"That sounds nice, but what if it cost you your life? Have you considered my feelings? Do you even know that I came here specifically to..."
As Qiao Mei became emotional, she lost most of her rationality.
Seeing Ao Cang's surprised look, she belatedly stopped and didn't continue speaking.
The two of them rarely, if ever, argue.
But this issue seems to have led to their first argument.
Qiao Mei stood up, pressed her throbbing temples, and said in a very tired tone, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to talk to you like that, but I might not be able to sort out my emotions right now, so we won't sleep together tonight."
In her eyes, Ao Cang's life was more important than anything else, and she didn't want him to treat his life so casually.
However, the Book of the World forbids her to give the specific reasons, thus creating a closed loop.
Ao Cang watched her departing figure, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
In the end, he could only swallow his words, transform back into his Thunder Dragon form, and carefully curl up in his gem nest.
