Chapter 156: The Goblin Labyrinth
Xia Li drove around the downtown area of Qingcheng City.
Since there was no destination for this morning’s trip, even Xia Li himself didn’t know which direction the steering wheel in his hand would turn next.
Perhaps he would suddenly turn right at the next intersection, stop to admire the unique street scene, and then hold Little Lu’s hand and introduce it to her one by one.
After looking up and seeing the “No Parking” sign on the side of the road, Xia Li drove away dejectedly.
The cold wind poured in from the open sunroof, the winter morning wind chilling to the bone, but the sun was just right.
The dragon sitting in the passenger seat was amused by Xia Li, this city always had endless fun for her.
As she was rolling around, her vision suddenly dimmed.
Lucia grabbed the seat belt in her hand and sat up to look out.
The sun and white clouds were obscured by buildings, and the car was slowly driving underground. Lucia shouted excitedly, “Goblin Labyrinth!”
The bright lights on the ceiling intertwined with the complex indicator lights, forming a colorful underground world in the darkness.
“This is an underground parking lot,” Xia Li explained.
Lucia snorted, “I know!”
There was still more than half an hour before the movie started, Xia Li found a parking space near the elevator entrance.
Lucia jumped out of the car as soon as she opened the door.
Compared to the initial climbing in and out of the car, she had learned to jump in place.
Dragonfall!
“Don’t run around,” Xia Li hurried over and grabbed the dragon who let go of his hand.
“This goblin labyrinth has complicated paths, and there are thousands of goblins inside… It wouldn’t be good if I lost you.”
“Then I’ll protect you!”
Lucia nodded vigorously.
The way Xia Li spoke made the dragon feel very immersive.
What goblin labyrinth, thousands of goblins, if you go further in, wouldn’t you enter the mother’s nest and fight the big BOSS inside…
The blood was boiling!
Lucia had heard about the heroic deeds of so many heroes, but she had never gone on an adventure with him.
Take the elevator to the fourth floor.
Xia Li went to the counter and exchanged for the mysterious bubble potion and the exploding white tree fruit.
Lucia didn’t like the bubble potion, but after tasting a bite of the white tree fruit, she still gave a very pertinent evaluation.
“Delicious!”
“Here you go, hold it.”
Xia Li stuffed the popcorn bucket into Lucia’s hands.
He went to the milk tea shop next door and ordered a heated fruit tea for Lucia, and only after the movie started checking tickets did he take Lucia in unhurriedly.
This was Lucia’s first time in a place like a movie theater.
She had heard Zhou Anqi describe the situation inside before coming, she thought it would be as lively as a restaurant, but after being there in person, she found that this kind of place… was so quiet.
Everyone didn’t speak, they sat in their seats in twos and threes, the quiet atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.
Fortunately, the space was large, otherwise the dragon would have claustrophobia.
“There are no lights in here?”
Lucia leaned towards Xia Li’s seat and looked around curiously with her eyes wide open.
“No lights, the only light source is the central screen.”
“Oh…”
No wonder Zhou Anqi would say that this kind of place was a dating spot.
If you did bad things here, no one would see…
“Crunch, crunch,”
Lucia put popcorn into her mouth.
On her face, the flowing silver scales glowed faintly in the darkness.
That small mouth was like a popcorn grinder, biting the popcorn into powder and swallowing it like an assembly line.
The surrounding speakers had already started playing sound, and Lucia was still turning her head sideways, looking back intently.
“Where are you looking? The movie has already started.”
Xia Li corrected the dragon’s head.
“Watching the goblins kiss.”
“…”
Perhaps for the dragon, watching young couples kissing in the corner was more interesting than the content of the movie?
“It’s a weekday, most of the people who come to the movies at this time are couples…”
Xia Li looked around, as he said, the huge movie theater was full of young couples holding hands.
Occasionally, there would be a few Godzilla fans sitting in the middle, quietly watching the plot, making sure not to disturb the people around them.
This kind of place was really suitable for dating.
“Hey, stop looking, stop looking, we bought tickets to watch a movie, not to watch this.”
The dragon next to him was watching people kiss with rapt attention.
Seemingly thinking of the kiss Xia Li gave her this morning, her cheeks flushed, and after being forced by Xia Li to turn her gaze away, she shrank her neck and muttered a few words.
“…You can watch movies for money, but you can’t even see this for money.”
“If you want to see, we can look in the mirror when we go back, and I’ll let you see enough,” Xia Li said.
Lucia automatically imagined the scene in her mind.
She didn’t even dare to open her eyes when she was kissing, she didn’t even dare to look at Xia Li, how could she have the guts to look at herself in the mirror?
Just thinking about this kind of thing made the dragon feel ashamed.
◈◈◈
“No way…”
Crunching on popcorn.
Soon, Lucia’s attention was attracted by the huge monster on the screen.
The science fiction disaster movies of the human world were like heavenly scriptures to the dragon, difficult to understand.
But as a giant beast, Lucia was still quite immersive when watching the Godzilla movie.
The content of the movie was roughly about a three-headed monster awakening from its icy slumber, it had the ability to control other Titan giant beasts, Godzilla sensed the threat it brought, and fought it.
The war between giant beasts was a catastrophe for humans, and in the end, the protagonist Godzilla, after receiving the power sacrificed by another giant beast, successfully killed the three-headed monster.
The ending of the story was that Godzilla reached a certain balance with the other Titan giant beasts, and humans also realized that they should respect and protect these ancient creatures on Earth.
At this point, the two-hour movie ended.
Lucia came out of the cinema still unsatisfied.
“Distant cousin is so awesome!”
She gestured with her hands, and then took a mouthful of atomic breath in a very chuunibyou way.
This method of concentrating the energy in the body and then compressing and ejecting it from the mouth was quite similar to the dragon’s breath.
White smoke came out of Lucia’s mouth, Xia Li saw that the dragon scales on her face began to emit red light, and quickly covered her mouth with his hand.
Oh my god.
What a hot little mouth!
If the appearance of white smoke could be explained by ‘low temperature in winter’.
Then these hot lips were difficult to explain with normal science.
“…You forgot that you have magic now!” Xia Li said in a low voice.
Lucia blinked her eyes.
That’s right.
She was now a silver dragon who had recovered a little bit of magic.
Maybe she could really spit something out.
Lucia silently swallowed a mouthful of smoke and nodded repeatedly.
“I know, I know.”
Xia Li saw that the dragon had calmed down, and then let her go.
“Every bit of magic is hard-won, don’t waste it.”
“I definitely won’t waste it!”
Xia Li continued to emphasize, “There are surveillance cameras in every corner of human cities, so take it easy.”
“I know, I know!” The dragon nodded again.
Xia Li looked down on the dragon.
She had survived for more than a month without any magic.
The expression on the dragon’s face was smug, Xia Li still felt uneasy about giving the magic to this guy.
But neither the Demon Repelling Sword nor the Golden Bell had the ability to store a large amount of magic.
Xia Li could only store the magic in Lucia for now…
Wait until it accumulates to a certain extent, and then use it up according to the situation.
As for how to use it…
Xia Li wouldn’t use it to challenge the technological level of this world, he didn’t have that much greed, the only goal he wanted to achieve now was to let Lucia have a legal identity.
“Xia Li, Xia Li,”
Just as Xia Li was staring at the small piece of dragon scale on the dragon’s face in a daze, Lucia squeezed his hand and brought his thoughts back.
“The earth humans in the movie can coexist with the Titan giant beasts, so why can’t the humans on Azure Continent?”
“This question…”
Xia Li paused for a moment, and then said, “The main reason is the disparity in strength. The humans on Azure Continent are united, especially the empire that has integrated the army, their combined combat power cannot be underestimated.
And the dragon race, although individually powerful, almost never gather, let alone understand cooperation. So the difference between the two is huge.”
“Oh…” Lucia understood these words and nodded.
“If there is a dragon race as powerful and intelligent as Godzilla, then when they stand up to represent the dragon race to negotiate with humans… maybe that day will really come!”
“Maybe.”
Xia Li patted the popcorn crumbs off the dragon’s palm and pulled it over to hold it in his hand.
“This is not something we should be concerned about.
What we should be concerned about now is how to make you truly integrate into this society, this integration is not only emotional understanding and life habits, but also what you said before ‘join here’, become a part of society.”
“I know that.”
Lucia had this awareness.
“I want to be a pet doctor!”
“You don’t have a resume, this is a bit difficult… but I have some ideas now.”
Xia Li took out his mobile phone and shook it in front of the dragon’s face.
“Wuqi is their ‘director’, I added their receptionist’s WeChat when I adopted Wuqi, and now I’m working on getting to know them better.
When we get to know each other well, we can try to get you in as an intern.”
