Chapter 84 Phlegm in My Throat (Third Update)
Qiao Mei's past life experiences honed her excellent ability to read people's expressions and moods.
She had noticed long ago that when Shu Qingqing and Shang Duojin told her to ask Xu Heyu for help, the little black dragon on her neck immediately lost its temper.
So instead of rushing to give Shu Qingqing and Shang Duojin a reply, he scratched Ao Cang's chin and asked him what he thought.
"Do you want him to take us there?"
She didn't really care; whether Xu Heyu led the way or not was just a matter of saving her some time.
If this makes Ao Cang unhappy, then it's definitely not worth it.
Upon hearing this, Ao Cang's golden dragon eyes showed a look of confusion, as if he hadn't expected Qiao Mei to ask for his opinion.
After thinking for a moment, he honestly shook his head: "I don't want to, but if we bring him along, it will definitely make you much safer, so you should still tell him and ask him to..."
“I understand. Then we won’t invite him. We can go by ourselves.” Qiao Mei interrupted Ao Cang and looked at the somewhat bewildered Shu Qingqing and Shang Duojin.
"How about this, we split the bill later and hire a mercenary for a small fee to ensure our safety? What do you think?"
There are indeed quite a few mercenary firms doing business near the black market on the Federation Star. The cost of hiring them is neither too high nor too low. As Qiao Mei spoke, she quickly searched on the mercenary firm website and found one with a total hiring fee of 3,000 interstellar coins.
"His approval rating is very high, and his strength is at the first star of the Sacred Beast Venerable level. He should be more than capable of protecting the rest of us."
Shang Duo had plenty of money and originally wanted to generously offer to cover everything, but after receiving death stares from Qiao Mei and Shu Qingqing, he could only transfer his share of one thousand interstellar coins.
Shu Qingqing also transferred the money to Qiao Mei, who then clicked to make a purchase reservation, saying that she would meet him at a noodle shop near the black market at noon.
After making the appointment, Qiao Mei and Shu Qingqing went to teaching building C290 to select the B-class mecha they would be using.
There are only three types of mechs: attack, defense, and control.
To avoid arousing suspicion from the Federal Army, Qiao Mei did not choose an offensive mech, but instead opted for a control-type trumpet flower mech.
Shu Qingqing is a sucker for good looks, so she chose a mecha that looked beautiful but was a defensive type.
"Let's go now, or should we finish lunch first?" Shu Qingqing took the lollipop stick, now only a thin stick, out of her mouth and tried to throw it into the trash can, but her hand trembled and she threw it at an angle, landing it on the head of a golden retriever.
Golden Retriever.......
? ? !
"Qiaoqiao, can you take a look? Is that a golden retriever squatting over there?"
Qiao Mei looked in the direction Shu Qingqing pointed and found that there was indeed a golden, furry head in the grass next to the trash can. She frowned and looked down.
When she saw that familiar yet flamboyant blouse with droopy rabbit print and casual pants, she fell silent.
Then she turned to Shu Qingqing and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you a big fan of Zuo Chenxing?"
Shu Qingqing nodded: "Yes, is there any need to question that?"
Qiao Mei was speechless: "Then how come you didn't recognize that the blond guy you mentioned is Zuo Chenxing?"
"Who?!" Shu Qingqing's eyes widened, and when she looked at the "golden hair" head again, her breathing slowed down.
"Phew, I finally got you out of it. Go on, little kitty~" The golden-haired youth stood up.
His long legs and arms came into Shu Qingqing's view as he stood up, along with his tall figure. She was excited at the sight, and her hands trembled a little.
She grabbed Qiao Mei's shoulder and stammered, "Qiao... Qiao Qiao, am I really not dreaming?"
This was the first time Shang Duojin had ever seen Shu Qingqing, this sharp-tongued weirdo, lose her composure like this. After a moment of surprise, he slapped her hard on the back.
"Smack!!"
"Cough cough..."
Shang Duojin grinned wickedly: "No need to thank me. If it hurts, then you're not dreaming, but..."
At this point, Shang Duojin pulled out a mirror with a small comb from somewhere, and while smugly combing his hair in front of the mirror, he muttered, "But you really have no taste. To be honest, my face is still more handsome. Look at my perfect jawline, my thick, long eyelashes..."
Before he could finish saying "Mao," Shang Duojin received a furious punch from Shu Qingqing, which made several small birds swirl around his head.
After beating him up, Shu Qingqing immediately transformed from a violent woman into a well-behaved lady, and even touched up her makeup.
After confirming with Qiao Mei that everything was alright, she took a deep breath and walked behind Zuo Chenxing, who had his back to her, in an almost affected manner, poking his shoulder with her index finger.
Then, a chilling, veteran-sounding voice rang out, making Qiao Mei and Shang Duojin gasp: "Hello, you... cough... cough cough..."
But the choked sound didn't last long before a choking sound came from Shu Qingqing's throat. At that moment, Zuo Chenxing turned to look at her, and the entire room fell silent.
"......."
Qiao Mei was already feeling embarrassed for Shu Qingqing. After stretching her curled-up toes, she originally wanted to speak up to ease the awkward atmosphere.
But the next moment, Shang Duojin rubbed his face, which had been red from Shu Qingqing's punch, and laughed like a pig, "Hehe, serves you right for pinching me like that, now you're getting your comeuppance, hehehe..."
