Chapter 42 The Gods Weep
If it were just to confirm her identity, he wouldn't need to waste his divine power doing so.
But just before, after seeing her unusually lonely and heartbroken eyes, he suddenly wanted to get to know her better, to understand this person who was always so contradictory, shrouded in mystery, yet still willing to treat him with a sincere heart... An'an.
As the Dragon God's thoughts raced, his divine power completely penetrated Qiao Mei's sea of consciousness, entering a corner of her memories related to her name "An An".
"An'an, be a good girl and wait for Mommy at home. Mommy is going out to buy some groceries and will be back before dark. Before that, you must not tell that person, understand?"
Little Qiao Mei, dressed in faded white clothes, stared quietly at the young woman in front of her with her dark eyes. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but quickly suppressed it and let out a muffled "hmm".
Outside, a fierce storm raged. The woman said she was going to buy groceries, but she was carrying a very old and worn-out backpack on her back. She didn't even take the key. She just opened the creaking old-fashioned iron door and left little Qiao Mei inside.
Then he slammed the door shut, not even glancing inside one last time.
Ao Cang walked to Xiao Qiao Mei's side and watched her stand up in front of the broken window, staring intently at the woman outside who was running away as if her life depended on it. Although she was muttering "liar" under her breath, she couldn't take her eyes off the woman.
Only after her figure was completely swallowed by the thick rain and fog, and after the sky had completely darkened, did Xiao Qiao Mei blink her slightly sore eyes, get off the wooden stool that could help her grow taller, and return to the small room where there was a baby boy, to prepare the inferior formula for the baby boy as usual.
"You shameless woman, my stomach is growling with hunger, and I still can't smell the food. Are you slacking off again? Are you looking for a beating?"
As the middle-aged man's curses echoed from inside the house, the sound of a belt being unbuckled was also quite distinct.
Ao Cang clearly saw that Xiao Qiao Mei's body stiffened for a moment, and then she pretended not to hear anything and went to feed the baby boy.
But before the baby boy could even put the bottle in his mouth, the middle-aged man stormed out of the house and asked Xiao Qiaomei where her mother was.
Xiao Qiaomei truthfully told the middle-aged man that she had gone to buy groceries in the afternoon. The middle-aged man's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly searched the house. He found that all his money had been taken, and most of the woman's clothes had also been taken. He instantly understood what was going on.
After cursing, he first kicked Xiao Qiaomei to the ground, sending her crashing into the wall. Then, while cursing, he pulled out an old-fashioned telephone and contacted someone.
After the call connected, he walked over to Xiao Qiaomei and kicked her several more times in her vulnerable abdomen, asking her viciously:
"What time did Wang Huiyun leave this afternoon?! When I send my men to stop her, I'll break that bitch's legs! I've kept her here for so many years, I thought she'd given up on escaping, but she's still this shameless!!"
As Ao Cang watched Xiao Qiao Mei being kicked and vomiting blood onto the ground, a strange, intense pain welled up in his heart.
He took a few steps forward, wanting to touch her, but passed right through her body. Only then did he realize that in her past memories, he was powerless to change anything.
Xiao Qiaomei remained stubborn, refusing to divulge any information no matter how much the middle-aged man kicked her.
Seeing her like this, the man erupted in impotent rage. He picked up her small body like a chick and threw her outside, leaving her to be drenched by the cold rain, lying on the dirty, damp ground, muttering curses under his breath:
"You won't talk, huh? You're going to freeze to death out there! I'll see if your worthless life is as stubborn as your mouth!!"
Ao Cang followed her out and saw the little girl lying in the dirty rainwater, looking like a stray dog. The pain in his heart intensified, and his nose began to sting.
When he squatted down in front of Xiao Qiaomei and watched her curl up like a shrimp because of the pain and cold, he noticed that his face was a little wet.
Before the Dragon God could figure out what it was, everything around him began to turn into mist and dissipate.
This means that the wisp of divine power he separated has been completely exhausted, and he is about to be expelled from Qiao Mei's past memories.
"Cangcang, Cangcang, are you crying?"
When Ao Cang woke up, he heard a girl's voice that was still a little sleepy.
He opened his eyes and realized that Qiao Mei's face was much larger than when he was in human form.
Looking down, she realized that he had already returned to his dragon form and had climbed onto Qiao Mei's chest at some point, leaving a wet trail on her milky white skin.
Moist?
"Cangcang, what's wrong? Don't scare me. Did you have a nightmare?"
Qiao Mei turned on the night light, illuminating the bedroom at four in the morning. She took out a few tissues to wipe the moisture from Ao Cang's eyes, her red eyes brimming with worry that was almost overflowing.
It was only then that Ao Cang belatedly realized that he, like ordinary humans, also had tears.
"Cangcang, why aren't you saying anything?" Qiao Mei was frantic. She cupped Ao Cang's dragon head in her hands, trying to see what was wrong with him.
Some even began to suspect that his previous transformation into human form might have caused some side effects on his body.
Ao Cang stared quietly at the girl in front of him, who was in perfect condition. Then, recalling the horrific scene he had witnessed in her memory, he suddenly spoke to her, "An'an, I suddenly remembered that I promised you before that if you could successfully pass the exam at the Federal Academy, I would let you suck my dragon belly. How about we do it now?"
