Chapter 37 You're Really Starting to Care About Me (Please Add to Favorites and Recommend)
Ao Cang didn't even sniff it before telling Qiao Mei that he had smelled the aura of the Gang Stone on the dagger when the incident first occurred.
But the situation was too chaotic at the time, so he didn't have a chance to tell her about it.
“No wonder… I was wondering why Misha was able to bring the dagger in. It turns out she had the help of the Qi Stone, which neutralized the energy on it, making it undetectable.”
The interstellar dagger was different from the iron daggers Qiao Mei knew. It was made of a special star stone and was enhanced by a powerful stone, which could indeed evade military inspections.
"But why would she do that?"
Qiao Mei couldn't understand it, and she didn't tell Xu Heyu or Shu Qingqing about her and Ao Cang's discovery, because this matter was not insignificant, and the more people knew, the more dangerous it would be.
We can only wait for Xu Heyu to come over and see if this matter has anything to do with Qiao Yingying.
If it were just about Qiao Yingli using Misha to try and hurt her, it could be considered a minor matter, but it's not when it involves interstellar monsters.
Soon, Xu Heyu arrived just as Shu Qingqing was about to fight Shang Duojin. After glancing at their location, he suggested they move to another place, as it wasn't safe there.
Qiao Mei had no objections and followed Xu Heyu to the accommodation area prepared for them by the Federal Academy, entering a place that could be described as a private villa.
"This is your dorm room?!" Shu Qingqing clicked her tongue in amazement.
Xu Heyu nodded: "Yes, the Federal Academy allows students to choose their own dormitory area by paying for it themselves. My family bought me this place so that I could focus on improving my skills."
Xu Heyu's home is the Xu family, one of the four great families in the interstellar world, and also the home of Qiao Mei's maternal grandfather.
So Shu Qingqing naturally asked Qiao Mei if she planned to get one too.
"I can't do it anymore. I'm from Orchid Star. I only came here to study because it's free."
Qiao Mei shook her head: "I also plan to stay in the dormitory arranged by the college, and I'm a bit short on money."
"Huh?! Why?" Shu Qingqing wanted to ask more, but Xu Heyu, who knew the truth, interrupted her and changed the subject, talking about the bloody incident that had happened in the teaching building.
"The military has not yet made a judgment. There are rumors that he had made some kind of enemy and had a nanobomb planted in his body, but I was not far from him at the time, and when his body exploded, I did not see any trace of the nanobomb exploding."
Shang Duojin interjected, "Is that the larva of the legendary interstellar monster?!"
Xu Heyu's blue eyes were deep, and she pursed her lips uncertainly, saying, "I'm not too sure either, but for now, this isn't something we should worry about. Let's wait for the military to report the results and then see. Let's not talk about this anymore. Tell me how your exams went."
Qiao Mei entered the living room of Xu Heyu's villa. While Shang Duojin was bragging about how smart he was and how Lei Ting had beaten up the little white wolf, Qiao Mei found a seat, turned on her personal computer, and contacted Xu Hui, telling her what had happened at the Federal Academy.
Xu Hui: [Then you must be careful. When you're with Xu Heyu, try to stay close to him. He's stronger than you and can protect you. Mom has almost moved everything out of the Seventh Palace. We're just waiting for you to come back from your exams so we can set it up together.]
Xu Hui didn't mention the divorce from the Crown Prince, but Qiao Mei guessed that it must have gone quite smoothly, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to move the palace items out, so she didn't ask any further questions.
When it was time to rest in the evening, Qiao Mei remembered something and suddenly called out to Ao Cang, who she didn't know if he was asleep or not.
"Cangcang, are you asleep?"
Ao Cang opened his dragon eyes, his gaze piercing through the night to look at Qiao Mei, and asked her, "What's wrong?"
"During the day, we agreed that you would tell me the reason why you went against my wishes after I came out of the restroom. But then too many things happened, and I forgot. Did you forget too?"
Ao Cang: "......."
He hadn't forgotten, but he didn't know how to say it. Seeing that she didn't bring it up, he simply put it aside for now. He just didn't expect that she would remember it so quickly.
Now, under the silvery moonlight, looking into those jewel-red eyes filled with curiosity, the dragon's eyelashes trembled, and it finally gave this answer.
"I'm not quite sure either. I just saw how reluctant and uneasy you looked at me, and I felt a bit down, so I thought of giving you my Achilles' heel."
As Ao Cang spoke, he looked down at the spot on his dragon body, his golden eyes filled with confusion.
After hearing his answer and watching his actions, Qiao Mei's heart suddenly slowed down, and she barely dared to breathe.
She stared intently into Ao Cang's golden dragon eyes, hoping to see something she had only ever dreamed of, but alas.
No, there was only endless confusion and doubt.
Seeing this, she blinked her long eyelashes, lowered the darkness in her eyes, and smiled faintly as she replied, "Then I know what's going on. It must be that you've really started to care about me and have truly started to treat me like one of your own."
The relationship she desires may be a bit premature for the Dragon God, who has only recently come into close contact with his followers.
She couldn't alert the snake too quickly, lest she scare away the little black dragon she had finally managed to lead into her trap.
Ao Cang was still confused, but Qiao Mei had already hugged his dragon body tightly, closed her red eyes, and said to him, "Good night, Cang Cang."
"Goodnight, little believer."
......
The next morning, while having breakfast with Shu Qingqing and the others, Qiao Mei confirmed that her opponent was none other than the little frog Qiao Haojie, and a smile curved her lips.
Shang Duojin, who was sitting next to her, was eating heartily when he suddenly saw Qiao Mei's slightly creepy smile. He rubbed the goosebumps off his body and asked her, "What are you thinking about?"
Qiao Mei handed the juice she had drunk more than half of to Ao Canglong's head, cleverly positioning the spot she had used against his lips, as if she couldn't see the thin pink dragon scales on his skin. As he slowly swallowed, she replied to Shang Duojin, "I'm thinking about whether the battle with the second-year senior later will go smoothly."
Shang Duojin didn't understand why someone was laughing so horribly when a battle that should have been tense was taking place.
It wasn't until he saw Qiao Mei fighting with a young man who looked like a small frog and had a very sleazy and greasy demeanor, and Ao Cang was beating up the young man's little red bird, that he realized what was going on.
"Hiss... That's terrifying. Luckily, I'm on Sister Qiao's side."
Qiao Mei didn't care about the stares from those around her. She instructed Ao Cang to use the strategy she had devised the night before, constantly shocking the little red bird's shiny, well-maintained fur with electric shocks, while also mimicking the disgusting tactics Qiao Yingying had used before.
Suppressing a wicked smile, he looked apologetically at Qiao Haojie and said, "Oh dear, I didn't expect Cangcang to be so restrained by the little vermilion bird. Second brother, you won't blame me for letting Cangcang go too far, will you?"
Qiao Mei's Diary: Today, I realized that Cang Cang seems to be starting to care about me. I wonder how long it will take before he truly falls for me. (Sighs and ends writing) (And begins to have sweet dreams about Ao Cang in her dreams)
