Chapter 38 Eight-Year-Old Boy in Form? (Please Add to Favorites and Recommend)
Qiao Haojie spent at least five figures in interstellar currency to maintain the little Vermilion Bird's feathers, so that even if it was useless, it would at least look decent.
Now, looking at him, a mere one-star Beast Tamer, a little Vermilion Bird, not only did he not have a chance to fight back in front of Qiao Mei, a Beast Tamer without any stars, but his feathers were also singed by electricity, and he was almost bald like an ostrich. His face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth and forced a smile, saying, "How could that be? In battle, everyone relies on their own abilities. Seventh Sister, you don't need to go easy on me."
If he were to give in, he would be the one making a fool of himself.
He never expected that the little black dragon, an avatar of a holy abandoned beast, would be so effective against his little vermilion bird!
Qiao Mei watched as the little vermilion bird, which had been sent flying to the ground by Ao Cang's dragon tail attack and couldn't even breathe fire, felt much of the pent-up anger she had felt from the Crown Princess's verbal attack on Xu Hui dissipate.
Afterwards, considering that Ao Cang could not achieve too outstanding results, they gave him the signal they had agreed on before. When the little Zhu Niao, who had been beaten like a pig's head, stood up shakily and used its remaining wings with few feathers to create a fire whirlwind, Ao Cang pretended to be exhausted, was swept up by the fire whirlwind, and fell heavily to the ground.
This allowed Crown Prince Qiao Haojie to exhale a sigh of relief and defend himself, saying, "I underestimated you this time. I didn't know that the little black dragon could also restrain the little vermilion bird. Otherwise, you would have had a hard time passing this test."
Qiao Mei was too lazy to expose him. She fed Ao Cang the recovery fluid, wiped the dust off his dragon body with a wet tissue, and only after confirming that everything was alright did she wrap him around her neck. She first said in a voice that everyone could hear, "That's right, I was just lucky."
But after she and Qiao Haojie left the arena together, she leaned close to his ear, a wicked smile curving her lips, and said, "I was just kidding you. I only wanted to make sure you didn't lose too badly and to save face for the royal family. Second brother, your strength still needs improvement. How come after a year of school, you're still not as good as me, a reserve freshman?"
After Qiao Mei finished her sarcastic remarks, ignoring Qiao Haojie's alternating pale and flushed expression, she happily led Ao Cang out and, while waiting for the Federal Academy staff to help her with her enrollment procedures, told Xu Hui the good news.
Just after sending the message, Qiao Mei noticed that her computer ID had a new blue badge indicating she was a student of the Federal Academy, and her email also contained a series of standard items that a freshman should receive, such as a dormitory key, a meal card, a water card, and a gray and white college uniform just like Xu Heyu's.
But that wasn't Qiao Mei's focus; what she wanted to see was the promised reward of 100,000 interstellar coins.
"Strange, didn't the academy say that passing the exam would give me 100,000 interstellar coins? Why didn't I receive it in my email?"
The girl's crimson eyes were filled with doubt as she looked at the staff member in front of her who had just changed her identity verification status.
Upon hearing this, the staff member carefully examined the long-haired girl who didn't seem to be short of money based on her attire and explained, "It's like this, because there are other candidates who haven't finished their exams yet, the academy can't process them individually. It's estimated that by 5:30 PM, when all the battles are completely over, the 100,000 Star Coins will be deposited into your account."
Qiao Mei nodded: "I understand, thank you."
After saying that, Qiao Mei found a public seat that wasn't occupied and waited for Shang Duojin and Shu Qingqing to come out.
According to the academy's rules, students who have finished their matches cannot remain in the examination room, so she could not see their situation and could only pray for them silently.
Then she lowered her head and spoke quietly to Ao Cang, asking him how much he could recover if all 100,000 interstellar coins were offered to him.
"You plan to spend it all on me?" Ao Cang raised his dragon head, his golden dragon eyes filled with surprise.
Qiao Mei replied matter-of-factly, "That's right, otherwise what? I earned this money for you, and I'll definitely give it all to you. My mother probably won't need such a large sum for the time being. I can earn a little money myself now, and if I'm frugal, I can make enough to eat and wear. You don't need to worry."
After spending time together, Ao Cang had a general understanding of Qiao Mei's personality. She was usually a woman of her word and rarely let external factors sway her decisions. He could only sigh and then answer her previous question.
"It should help me achieve the form of at least an eight-year-old boy."
"Oh, boy form..." Qiao Mei didn't react for a moment. After saying that, she paused, then looked at him in shock and asked, "What boy? No, didn't you have...?"
Qiao Mei wanted to say that in the original book she had read, didn't he have a human form that was relatively weak but in the form of a twenty-year-old youth? How come there is suddenly an additional form of a boy?
But when her bloodshot eyes met Ao Cang's puzzled golden eyes, she quickly remembered that she couldn't say these words. She hurriedly changed the subject, lowered her voice guiltily, and continued, "How can you turn into a human?"
The other sacred beasts do not have human form, so Ao Cang was not surprised that Qiao Mei would ask such a question. After thinking for a moment, he gave an answer that he was not entirely sure about: "Perhaps, I have existed for a longer time than them?"
Qiao Mei had also wondered about this when she was reading the original book, but the author of the original book did not explain it, and that thing did not tell her about it either, so even though she still did not understand, she did not ask any more questions, but instead looked forward to what Ao Cang would look like when he was eight years old.
At 4:50 PM, after Shu Qingqing, who had successfully fought her way out, came out, Shang Duojin also came out.
Qiao Mei and Shu Qingqing assumed that Shang Duojin had also passed the test because he seemed to be in a good mood. However, when they saw that he was not heading towards the staff of the Federal Academy but instead walking straight towards them, a bad feeling crept into their hearts.
