The answer was, of course, yes. Qiao Mei could only suppress her urgent desire to make offerings to Ao Cang and got up to open the door for Xu Hui.
"I'm just waiting for you to tell me a time, and then I'll contact Xu Heyu directly."
Qiao Mei led Xu Hui to sit on the sofa by her window and closed the window, which was still blowing fiercely in the night wind, so as not to let Xu Hui, whose body was relatively weak, get cold.
"Yes, it can be done the day after tomorrow. It's Mom's turn to rest the day after tomorrow. But Xiao Mei, are you really sure you want to break off this childhood betrothal with Xu Heyu? Actually, his family values promises quite a bit. Even if this matter isn't in writing, you can still marry him later if you want."
Xu Huike still remembers all the crazy things her love-struck daughter did related to Xu Heyu. When she suddenly said she didn't like Xu Heyu anymore, she didn't really believe it.
Ao Cang doesn't usually eavesdrop on people, but for some reason, he unconsciously pricks up his ears to listen whenever it's related to Qiao Mei.
Upon hearing that she could marry Xu Heyu, his dragon body, which had been relaxed and nestled in the gemstone nest, quickly tensed up, and his previously closed dragon eyes opened, looking in the direction where Qiao Mei was.
The girl lowered her long eyelashes, her red eyes sparkling, seemingly lost in thought. Her gaze made him feel inexplicably uneasy, and even this gemstone nest felt strange; nothing felt right to sleep in.
Qiao Mei glanced at the Dragon God, who was fidgeting around in the gemstone nest, then looked away and nodded: "Hmm, I've figured it out. I really don't like him. Let's set the date for the day after tomorrow. What time is the day after tomorrow? I'll send him a message on my personal terminal to contact him."
Seeing her resolute expression, which didn't seem like she was lying, Xu Hui nodded, looked at the starry night sky outside the window with some worry, and sighed, "I'm not sure what day it will be the day after tomorrow. I need to contact your grandfather first. Of course, we need to let him know when we go back this time."
Qiao Mei knew about Xu Hui's decision to sever ties with her family for love when she was young. Seeing her somewhat flustered appearance, she asked her if she needed to speak to Old Master Xu.
"No need, I'm your mother. Matters between elders should be resolved by the elders. How can you, a junior, be expected to handle this?" Xu Hui gave Qiao Mei a reproachful look, then told her to cover herself well with a blanket at night so she wouldn't catch a cold before leaving Qiao Mei's bedroom.
Qiao Mei didn't insist. Instead, she looked at Ao Cang, who seemed to have adjusted his sleeping position and stopped moving around in the gem nest, and said to him that she planned to start making offerings and prayers for him now.
"Do you need to come out of the gem nest? After all, Cangcang, you'll turn into an eight-year-old boy later."
"By the way, should I prepare a set of clothes for you? You didn't wear clothes when you turned into a human, right?"
"Also, after you turn into a little boy, can you turn back into a dragon?"
Qiao Mei bombarded Ao Cang with a series of questions. He manipulated his dragon body to emerge from the gemstone nest, told her to just take a set of clothes she didn't wear anymore, and then answered her questions.
"After I turn into a little boy, I can of course turn back into a dragon. However, I can only appear in the form of a little boy for a short time. I am still too weak at the moment. I can only maintain the human form for four hours a day. As my strength recovers, I will be able to maintain the human form for a longer time."
"Okay, then wait for me a moment."
If Qiao Mei remembered correctly, she happened to have a nightgown that wasn't too long and had adjustable elasticity, which was the same set she was wearing now. However, she only wore that set once because she felt it was a bit short, and then she put it aside.
After finding it and comparing it, she felt that at least an eight-year-old boy wouldn't have to step on the clothes. Satisfied, she took the dress back to the bedside and took all 100,000 interstellar coins out of her computer, piling them all over the floor.
Ao Cang looked at the nightgown in her hand. He wanted to say something, but seeing that she had closed her eyes and started to pray, he could only suppress his desire to speak and accept her offering.
The offering of 100,000 interstellar coins had a much smaller effect than the previous offerings of 1,000 or 10,000 interstellar coins. At this moment, Ao Cang felt as if his dragon body, which had been afflicted by pain for an unknown period of time, was bathed in warm sunlight. His dragon body, which had previously lacked large dragon scales, suddenly gained about ten small dragon scales.
Immediately afterwards, a dark blue light enveloped his dragon body until he could no longer be seen, leaving only something resembling a silkworm cocoon.
Qiao Mei opened her eyes, stared at the formed silkworm cocoon in front of her, paused for a moment, then reached out and gently touched it, lowering her voice to call out cautiously, "Cang Cang? Are you alright?"
"Click...click..."
As soon as the girl finished speaking, several cracks appeared on the cocoon, accompanied by a cracking sound, giving people a sense of anticipation that a butterfly was about to emerge from the cocoon.
Qiao Mei didn't hear Ao Cang's reply. Instead, she saw more cracks crawling all over the cocoon. So she simply sat down in front of the cocoon, staring intently at it with her blood-red eyes. At the same time, she turned on her personal computer's recording function, intending to record what would be a historic moment for her.
In the original book she had read, she only knew that Ao Cang in his adult form had silver hair, golden eyes, and a tall and slender figure.
The author didn't describe the rest in detail, only saying that when he secretly went out in human form to help the protagonist group fight against the interstellar monsters, he often wore a black cloak to cover his true face.
Until his death, the author never gave a description of his appearance.
And now...
Qiao Meijing's red eyes lit up as she looked at the white silkworm cocoon in front of her, which had already cracked open with large gaps. Even her breathing slowed down.
"Click, click..."
As more pronounced cracking sounds rang out in succession, a milky-white fragment fell to the floor, followed by a second, and then a third.
At this moment, Qiao Mei saw a golden-white light enveloping Ao Cang in the center. The intensity of the light weakened as the fragments continued to peel away, and the tiny, curled-up baby figure hidden inside was fully revealed.
He was indeed the person Ao Cang described, appearing to be about eight years old, and he did indeed have the silver-white hair that the original author described in the book.
However, the length of her hair only reached her shoulders, and it was slightly wavy.
Looking at his face with his eyes tightly closed, it wasn't like she had imagined. He didn't have any baby fat; his features were exceptionally delicate. Adorned with long, thick eyelashes like raven feathers, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he looked like a human doll.
Qiao Mei watched him open those familiar golden eyes, staring at the shape of his phoenix eyes, and whispered, "Cang Cang?"
