Chapter 124: The Evil Dragon Took the Bait
Xia Li clearly felt that his mentality had changed a lot in the past two days.
Before, lying on the sofa, watching Lucia’s busy little figure and listening to the clattering of dishes in the kitchen, Xia Li would feel a sense of enjoyment.
At that time, Xia Li had a sense of pride in personally training the evil dragon into a housework expert, watching her progress little by little, and mastering the process of human life.
But now, Xia Li sat on the sofa, the sound of rushing water in the kitchen making him restless.
When he heard the stainless steel bowl slipping into the sink and then immediately being picked up by a pair of small hands to continue washing, Xia Li stood up directly.
“Move, move, I’ll wash it.”
Xia Li pushed the evil dragon by the sink aside with his butt.
The evil dragon’s hands were covered in dish soap bubbles. She shook her dragon claws and looked at Xia Li with some confusion.
“I’ll put it on your tab, you go relax on the sofa.” After he finished speaking, he didn’t forget to grab the evil dragon’s foam-covered claws and wash them under the faucet.
Lucia was very obedient, and the dragon silently left the kitchen.
Xia Li washed the dishes and then the pot. After finishing this, he saw the dragon in the living room diligently mopping the floor with a mop.
This guy really can’t stay idle for a second!
Her apron was still on, her hair tied up in a neat bun, and the straps of the apron behind her swayed from side to side as her waist twisted.
“Who told you to do this!”
Seeing this, Xia Li went to grab the mop again.
Lucia frowned slightly, her tone a little aggrieved.
“You did.”
“Not anymore, you’re still bleeding, go lie down.” Xia Li pointed to the sofa and said.
“It’s almost clean…”
Lucia’s voice was very soft, but she obediently went to the sofa and curled up.
Xia Li cleaned up the house and went to the balcony to hang clothes.
These chores weren’t tiring, but they were quite troublesome.
The evil dragon usually does so much?
In recent days, she has even been doing these things while enduring the weakness of her period.
Turning back, Xia Li looked at the neatly arranged furniture in the living room and the empty vase on the TV cabinet that Lucia had wiped spotlessly clean.
He couldn’t help but sigh, these were all the details he had been ignoring.
The little dragon is actually quite capable.
She has the air of a good wife and mother.
“…”
His eyes glanced towards the sofa. Lucia was holding an elementary school math textbook on her lap, counting with her fingers.
Seemingly encountering a high-level problem, Lucia frowned, unintentionally looking up and meeting Xia Li’s gaze.
“What are you looking at?”
Xia Li walked over to look, but Lucia didn’t let him see, quickly closing her legs and clamping the math book shut.
Xia Li found it funny, “It’s fine if you don’t show me your phone, why won’t you even show me your math book?”
“…I’ll definitely be able to do this problem.”
Lucia said, her face cold, not answering his question.
Alright, it turned out she was stuck on an elementary school problem but didn’t want Xia Li to see her rookie level, so she wouldn’t show him.
The stubborn dragon has her own stubbornness, and her mouth is quite hard.
“It’s okay, math is just something to learn casually, most of the knowledge in it is actually useless, knowing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division is basically enough.”
Xia Li comforted her and then asked, “What’s 3 times 5?”
“…”
Lucia remained silent, her face expressionless.
Then she began to use all her dragon knowledge reserves to calculate this problem.
Before coming to Earth, Lucia only knew addition and subtraction within 20, and she couldn’t even count to 100.
If Xia Li hadn’t bought her so many math books, she still wouldn’t know that there were more convenient calculation methods like multiplication and division in the world.
3 times 5 is equal to 3 5s added together…
This couldn’t stump her.
Lucia started counting with her fingers.
A human hand has five fingers, which means she needs three hands.
But Lucia quickly realized that she only had two hands, not enough.
“Come here for a moment.” Lucia beckoned to the Brave Hero.
Xia Li came to the sofa, and Lucia grabbed one of his big hands. Now she had exactly three hands.
After carefully counting her own fingers, Lucia started counting Xia Li’s thumb.
After counting, she gave the final answer.
“It’s 15!”
“You’re so smart…”
Xia Li was a little speechless.
To say she was stupid, she could come up with solutions.
To say she was smart… she had been studying for more than half a month, and she still couldn’t recite the multiplication table.
“What if it was 3 times 8?” Xia Li said again.
“Toes are also five.”
“…And then?”
“My hands and feet plus your hands and feet, just count them all.”
Xia Li: “…”
Xia Li had nothing to say.
But he wasn’t in a hurry either.
Who hasn’t been tormented by the multiplication table as a child, with a runny nose and tears? Lucia had only been on Earth for over a month, and it was already good that she knew some addition and subtraction.
However, Lucia’s Chinese language skills had improved quite quickly.
This was probably because she liked to scroll through Bilibili on her phone every day. Now she was very good at recognizing subtitles, and Xia Li occasionally tried to trick her, but she wouldn’t fall for it anymore.
“If you were to be the boss’s wife and collect money in the future, we wouldn’t even know if we lost our pants.” Xia Li said with a smile.
“Boss’s wife? The boss’s mother?” Lucia hadn’t heard this term before.
“The boss’s wife is the boss’s wife!”
The little dragon carefully understood and nodded: “Oh, it’s the boss’s mother-in-law.”
“…”
Lucia was also a mess when it came to the titles of human relationships.
Xia Li didn’t dwell on this and pulled the little dragon back to the room.
After simply spreading out the dog bed on his bed and transforming it into a dragon’s lair, Xia Li let Lucia lie down on the bed, while he returned to his computer and started working.
If he left her in the living room, Xia Li would always be thinking about her. It was better to just put her behind him, so that even his typing efficiency could be improved a lot.
“Hmm…?”
Lucia chose to go with the flow and started reading as soon as she lay down on the bed, but the Brave Hero sitting on the gaming chair kept looking back at her, which made her a little wary.
He wouldn’t, he wouldn’t be planning another surprise attack, would he?!
“I was thinking… I seem to have become very attached to you.” Xia Li suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Lucia grabbed her chest and sniffed her own scent.
“I don’t have any glue on me.”
“Sigh…”
Xia Li sighed deeply.
Sometimes it was quite difficult to talk to a dragon.
He was here seriously saying sweet nothings, but this guy was even more seriously analyzing it for him.
No romance at all!
“I finished writing the stories you told me last time, tell me some more.”
As Xia Li said this, he opened the backend of the novel website and patrolled the comment section.
【Little dragon, my little dragon has grown up… She can fight back against those bad guys!】
【Why did she only destroy one main city? Why not conquer all the neighboring countries? I have a suggestion, when launching an attack, it’s best to burn down all the granaries first, so that the subsequent troops will be weakened a lot. Just seal the mountains with fire, and they will be exhausted to death. 】
【Ugh, there are Paradox strategy gamers everywhere, do you think the plot you’re talking about matches the tone of the story in the book?】
【Why doesn’t it match? The protagonist here is a pureblood giant dragon, isn’t it natural for a dragon to conquer the world?】
◈◈◈
【In reality, it definitely can’t be like this. Doing these things would draw too much hatred, and humans would directly unite to besiege the protagonist. No matter how pureblood the dragon is, wouldn’t it fall to the ground in minutes?】
【You’re talking about reality? It’s just a novel, it’s not real. 】
【The author wrote the settings and worldview in such detail, I think it’s quite realistic. 】
【It’s becoming realistic? I think you’re delusional. 】
The comment section under the Record of Experiences was still full of arguments and praise.
This kind of non-human protagonist theme was special. Those who liked it could immerse themselves in it, and those who couldn’t either treated the protagonist as a pet or directly stood from the human perspective to nitpick.
Xia Li looked around and felt there was no problem. Generally, he would choose to ignore it. Basically, freedom of speech was allowed here.
“The later stories…”
Lucia popped up next to Xia Li at some point, scaring him into closing the comment section immediately.
The little dragon’s heart was quite fragile, it was better not to show her these things.
“Humans won’t like the later content.”
“Why?”
Lucia rubbed the sheep’s ear in her arms and recalled, “Because the later stories are about me robbing humans of their gold coins.”
As a dragon, and a pureblood giant dragon with absolute power, Lucia, like most dragons, had such a ‘glorious’ track record.
Dragons’ love for gold coins was no less than humans’ love for gold coins.
It’s just that they weren’t bound by human rules and would rob anything they wanted.
“This content is very important to the complete story, tell me.”
Xia Li created a new chapter document, ready to start writing.
He was already writing a dragon story, could he really create a ‘righteous dragon’?
“There’s nothing interesting, just robbing the gold coins of those dukes and lords…”
Lucia was reluctant to talk about her evil deeds.
Especially after understanding the human laws of this world, Lucia realized that her previous actions were wrong.
Moreover, Xia Li was the Brave Hero. Telling these things to the Brave Hero was equivalent to confessing her criminal record.
Xia Li might even punish her.
“How did you do it specifically? Tell me more details, I have to write them down.”
Xia Li typed down the outline while getting to the bottom of it.
Lucia had no choice but to speak weakly:
“For lords with stronger guards, I would choose to find an opportunity to attack at night… For those with weaker guards, I would just occupy them directly, blow up the duke’s house, and then open the warehouse and sleep inside.”
After being besieged by humans a few times and awakening her destructive desires, Lucia’s attitude towards humans took a sharp turn for the worse during her adolescence.
The main cities of the human kingdoms were difficult to conquer, so she mainly targeted noble manors and ducal territories.
The reputation of the Silver Dragon Queen had been established in the first battle, and after that, Lucia was invincible. Often, before a crusade even began, she would let out an evil dragon roar, and those human adventurers would be scared and flee in all directions.
Until she met Xia Li.
This cheat-like Brave Hero with the Demon Repelling Sword.
The dragon race’s magical defense was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of him, and her hard dragon scales shattered at the slightest touch.
Except for throwing stones at the Brave Hero, which could cause him a little damage, any other magic was futile.
“What happened next? What did you do when you encountered towns and villages on your way to rob the duke’s mansion?”
Xia Li typed down the outline while continuing to ask questions.
“Ordinary towns and villages? I wouldn’t even bother with those.” Lucia replied.
“What’s the point of robbing poor people? They can’t even afford to eat.”
“…I didn’t expect you to be so principled as a dragon, only robbing the rich and not the poor.” Xia Li was surprised.
Lucia snorted twice: “They don’t have any small gold coins. And I robbed those nobles more for revenge… revenge for them bullying me when I was young.”
“But there was one thing that was quite interesting.”
Lucia fell into reminiscence, her guard against Xia Li unconsciously lowered.
Xia Li patted his thigh, and she naturally sat on it, moving her butt inwards to find a comfortable position, half leaning against Xia Li.
A faint scent of shower gel and milk drifted from the evil dragon, and Xia Li’s thoughts of writing were fading.
Looking at the evil dragon who was excitedly recounting her achievements, Xia Li felt like his thoughts were as messy as tofu dregs.
The lips that were speaking were as delicate and alluring as peach blossoms in bloom, making Xia Li want to bite them and see if she could still speak.
Oh no, this wasn’t fragrance…
It was the scent of hormones!
“Every time I opened the door of a noble’s warehouse and took away the gold coins and gems inside, those commoners would rush in after me and divide up the rest of the things inside ━ they even called me the Silver Dragon of Salvation!”
Lucia’s tone was proud, and the more she spoke, the more she immersed herself in it, completely unaware that the Brave Hero’s sinful hand had already landed on her waist.
“Silver Dragon of Salvation, that’s so amazing?” Xia Li played along.
“Mmhmm, those poor humans without small gold coins all called me that, many places even welcomed my arrival!”
The evil dragon was still talking self-righteously, but Xia Li stole the sheep in her arms and threw it away. Lucia’s hands were empty, and her whole body had turned halfway, her legs slightly apart, sitting face to face on Xia Li’s lap.
“That’s amazing…”
Xia Li sighed from the bottom of his heart and then said solemnly, “Then I have to reward you.”
“…”
Lucia realized what Xia Li wanted to do and directly pressed his approaching face with one dragon claw.
“However, there were some places where humans still hated me. After I attacked the human nobles, those nobles and dukes would find ways to increase taxes to make up for their losses… Humans in those places would drive me away.”
Lucia was still talking endlessly, but Xia Li’s mind was filled with nothing but junk.
Unfortunately, his sneak attack this time was unsuccessful. Lucia covered his eyes with one small hand, and the other hand directly pinched his crime tool （lips）.
“You’re not allowed to kiss me.”
Lucia snorted softly and said mercilessly.
“Why?!” Xia Li was unhappy, barely squeezing out a shout from the gap in his pinched duck lips.
“Just once!”
“Not even once.”
“Then 0.5 times!”
“What’s 0.5 times?”
“It means only kissing the upper lip, not the lower lip.”
“You, you can do that?”
Lucia tried to imagine it, but just thinking about it made the dragon feel embarrassed.
Glancing at the Brave Hero’s lips that were pinched up by her fingers, Lucia automatically matched them with a pig’s mouth in her mind…
“Do it yourself, I won’t attack you this time, and I’ve already closed my eyes.”
Feeling that the little dragon on his body was hesitating rather than refusing, Xia Li felt there was hope and said with more effort:
“This is how humans express their love. Didn’t you say you like me too? Now you’re also human, so you should try to express your feelings in a human way.”
Under Xia Li’s persuasion, Lucia wavered a little.
Just a touch, it seemed like it wouldn’t be a big deal.
But humans had quite a few ways to express their feelings…
In the movies she had seen recently, besides touching lips, the next step for humans was to take off their clothes and roll around on the bed…
Lucia didn’t know how they rolled around specifically, after all, there was a problem with the camera angles in those movies, and she couldn’t see the pictures below.
“Then, then put your lower lip back.”
The evil dragon’s voice was very hoarse, and her face was probably quite red.
It was a pity that Xia Li’s eyes were covered, and he couldn’t see anything.
“How can I put it back…”
Xia Li tried it out and actually sucked his lower lip back into his teeth and bit it.
Only then did Lucia slowly straighten up in his arms, pressing one of her small hands that had been released onto his chest.
Feeling her breath getting closer, Xia Li secretly raised his hand, aiming for the back of Lucia’s head.
The moment she leaned in, he suddenly exerted force with his wrist, pressing Lucia into his arms.
The two leaned back together, their lips pressed together, their teeth even bumping against each other.
“Mmm, mm!!”
Lucia patted the stinky Brave Hero’s face.
Bad Brave Hero, when he couldn’t sneak attack, he resorted to deception and force!
She wouldn’t fall for it again!
