Chapter 64 I Want to Touch Your Dragon Scales
The piece of spiritual stone she received actually looked rather small, even smaller than a duck egg.
After tossing it into the bathtub to soak in the water, Ao Cang stared at the light gray gas emanating from the Gang Stone and suddenly understood why the human named Shu Qingqing had made Qiao Mei do this. He then told Qiao Mei to get into the bathtub right now.
"Why? It looks like it's not ready yet."
Qiao Mei looked at the little black dragon that had already climbed off her neck, completely bewildered.
Ao Cang patiently explained, "This light gray gas is called death gas. Given the speed at which that mysterious magnetic wave is approaching, by the time this death gas fills the entire bathtub, it will have already found you a long time ago. Listen to me, get in quickly, I have a way!"
"Okay, okay..."
Qiao Mei was wearing a very comfortable, close-fitting off-white nightgown, which wouldn't be too uncomfortable even if she wore it directly into the water.
As soon as she sat down in the bathtub, letting the warm water envelop her, she felt as if a huge shadow was looming over her.
She looked up and was stunned by the sight before her; her pink lips involuntarily parted slightly in surprise.
Less than twenty centimeters away from her, a gigantic black dragon, its scales missing one by one, emerged from a ball of dark blue light—it was Ao Cang's true form.
However, compared to the first time Qiao Mei saw him, his condition had improved considerably.
The ice-blue dragon horn that had been broken in half seemed to have grown back a little, and the previously bald dragon body now had many beautiful obsidian-like scales. The most obvious change was probably the luster on its scales.
No longer looking like it was covered in a thick layer of dust, but rather like it had been carefully washed with clear, clean stream water, making it shiny and smooth.
He manipulated the enormous dragon body to slowly approach Qiao Mei, entered the bathtub that was spacious enough for Qiao Mei but felt extremely cramped for him, wrapped his dragon body around her with a light touch, and began to release the death energy within him.
The deathly aura emanating from him was worlds apart from that within the aura of the magical stone.
Almost the instant he stepped into the bathtub, the water, which had been clear, turned completely light gray.
Qiao Mei stared blankly as Long Shen entered the bathtub without even saying hello.
When he stopped moving, and she could almost feel his warm dragon body pounding with a heartbeat twice as fast as a human's, she stiffly turned her head to look at him.
"Cangcang, what are you doing...?"
The Dragon God tilted its head in confusion, its voice seeming to come from a great distance, carrying an ancient and mysterious quality: "I'll help you hide your tracks, don't move around."
As he spoke, he tightened his dragon body around the girl, who was almost completely enveloped by his body, and looked warily out the window.
Qiao Mei understood, but still felt the surprise came a little too suddenly.
Although she still had five-tenths of her attention focused on being wary of the external magnetic waves, the other five-tenths were on whether or not she should take this opportunity to properly pet the Dragon God in its complete form.
Having spent time with him, she knew that given his current health condition, it would be extremely difficult for him to transform into his full form.
Even so, he was still willing to do it for her.
Just like after the preliminary round, when she was caught up in unpleasant memories of the past, he silently and forcibly transformed his body into that of an eighteen-year-old...
A continuous tingling sensation filled Qiao Mei's heart. She blinked her crimson eyes, looked at the wet hair that had fallen onto Ao Canglong, and swallowed hard.
Then, she acted before reason, reaching out her fair little hand to touch it.
The interplay of white and black creates a strong visual impact, which is why Ao Cang noticed Qiao Mei's actions immediately.
"Um, Cangcang, may I touch your dragon scales?"
The girl's ears were burning red as she glanced sideways at the giant dragon behind her. The distance between the two was so close that if Qiao Mei's face were to move forward even a little more, she could touch its long whiskers.
The Dragon God's golden dragon eyes looked into the little believer's red eyes and saw novelty, excitement, and some emotions that he still couldn't discern.
He wanted to tell her that his fully-formed self was no different from his naked self.
If she really wants to touch it...
Qiao Mei didn't receive a reply from Ao Cang. Instead, she saw him with his golden dragon eyes lowered, seemingly lost in thought, and assumed he was unwilling.
Disappointment crossed her beautiful face, but she still forced herself to say, "Fine, if you don't want to, then I..."
"Can."
The dragon god responded to her, its warm dragon body slowly moving closer to her, making it easier for her to touch it.
But if you look closely, you can actually see that large patches of light red have stained his dragon scales, which also adds a touch of red to the corners of his dragon eyes.
Qiao Mei had already started touching his dragon scales, completely unaware of what was happening.
Compared to his little black dragon form, the fully-formed black dragon not only had smoother scales, but when Qiao Mei touched it and her palm was slightly sore from the rubbing of the slightly harder scales, she couldn't help but feel a strange sense of pleasure.
However, before she could continue thinking about it, she heard Ao Cang say that the magnetic waves detected outside had stopped at a distance of 800 meters.
"It must be my death energy that's taking effect. You should wait until it's completely gone before you go out."
Qiao Mei snapped out of her daze upon hearing the sound and followed his gaze to the window, but she couldn't see anything. She could only look away, press her entire body against Ao Cang's dragon scales, and gently rub her skin against them. At the same time, she turned on her personal computer bracelet and said thank you to Shu Qingqing.
She didn't know much about Shu Qingqing.
In the book's plot, there's only a brief mention of a big streamer named Shu Qingqing, but nothing else is said; she's essentially just a background character.
From the memories she inherited from the original owner, she only knew that Shu Qingqing was from Orchid Star, had a bad relationship with her family, lived alone, and was very poor.
Other than that, I know nothing.
But now, Shu Qingqing has done so many unexpected things, which is enough to show that perhaps her background is not simple.
As Qiao Mei pondered, her gaze fell on the information box labeled "Grandpa," and she hesitated, wondering whether she should tell him about what had happened to her that day.
After hearing what Xingxing said today, even if she were stupid, she could guess that her grandfather must have encountered something disgusting when he retired from the federal army.
And now, this disgusting thing might continue to happen to her.
Just then, a message box for "Grandpa" popped up on its own, along with a long message, which startled Qiao Mei.
Qiao Mei: It feels like I've awakened some strange attribute...
Ao Cang: I am a pure little black dragon, I know nothing...
