My Wife is an Evil Dragon

Chapter 157

Chapter 157: Forget it, She Gave Too Much

Lucia had always thought Xia Li adopted Wuqi because he, like Xia Li, was a transmigrator from Earth.

Thinking about it from this perspective, the two sympathized with each other.

That’s why Xia Li was willing to rescue Wuqi from the pet hospital.

It was kindness from the Brave Hero.

But now, after hearing Xia Li’s plan, Lucia realized things were not that simple.

Xia Li had considered many aspects of the problem.

Adopting Wuqi and tricking… borrowing his bell was one thing. Another was building a good relationship with the pet hospital.

Undoubtedly, every starting point for these considerations was for Lucia’s sake.

Lucia felt warmth in her heart, and she couldn’t help but tighten her grip on Xia Li’s hand. “Xia Li…”

“Hmm?”

“Humans think about so many things…” Lucia sighed with emotion.

No wonder humans are said to be sentimental.

She, a dragon, definitely couldn’t learn this level of meticulousness.

Lucia couldn’t consider so many things, so she could only be a clueless dragon staying by Xia Li’s side.

She was responsible for physical matters, while Xia Li was responsible for using his brain.

If they were in Azure Continent, their combination would be a warrior and a commander.

If they were on Earth, then she would be a… a little wife?

Lucia understood the words “little” and “wife,” but she needed to understand the last word, “wife,” a bit more.

Lucia could understand the phrase “to marry a wife and have children.”

This phrase was common even in Azure Continent.

Then, on Earth, with such a complete social structure, wouldn’t it be even more common…

Lucia looked up at Xia Li.

“What’s wrong? What are you thinking about again?”

Xia Li felt that the dragon’s eyes were strange.

Those slightly narrowed, beautiful eyes carried a hint of danger, as if she wanted to eat someone.

The evil dragon didn’t speak, she just pursed her lips and walked ahead.

The two left the mall and went for a walk on the street outside.

The flow of people in the outdoor commercial area was relatively small in winter, and since it was a weekday, there were only a few pedestrians on the entire pedestrian street.

On the desolate street, the sounds of vendors hawking their wares filled the air.

Xia Li was still looking down, trying to guess the evil dragon’s thoughts, but he didn’t know that the dragon’s thoughts had already moved on.

“Xia Li, do you want to eat a little ice cream?”

Lucia looked at the vendors, who were more numerous than pedestrians, and asked Xia Li again.

Xia Li subconsciously moved his gaze down, landing on Lucia’s snow-white calves.

Because Lucia had said that Xia Li would dress her today, Xia Li had dressed her in white silk stockings according to his own preferences.

Nothing else, Xia Li was fine with both black silk and white silk.

It was just that there happened to be a pair of thick white stockings at home, so he put them on the evil dragon.

What Xia Li had to marvel at was that Lucia was very suitable for this color.

Those delicate little feet were tightly wrapped in snow-white silk stockings, and when held in his hand, they felt delicate and soft.

Just like, just like a little ice cream.

“Yes, I want to.”

Xia Li nodded seriously, answering Lucia’s question.

Xia Li’s real intention was not the ice cream, but Lucia was an honest dragon, she pulled Xia Li to the entrance of an ice cream shop.

“…”

Xia Li fell silent for a moment.

He wondered if these netizens were really reliable.

She had learned to drive, but how come she didn’t learn about white silk and ice cream?

Could the evil dragon be doing this on purpose?

Looking at her innocent and harmless, naturally airheaded appearance…

It was hard to say who was good and who was bad.

Xia Li walked over and paid.

This shop sold classic Turkish ice cream. The owner was a foreigner wearing a red hat, holding a big stick for making ice cream and stirring it in the freezer.

Seeing Xia Li scan the code to pay, a smile appeared on the Turkish uncle’s face.

As soon as Xia Li saw this smile, he knew the other party was up to no good.

Sure enough, the unique marketing method of this kind of ice cream shop was to tease customers for fun.

He put the ice cream clamped on the iron stick into the cone and handed it to Lucia. The moment Lucia reached out to take it, the ice cream disappeared and returned to the iron clamp.

“…”

Lucia was not annoyed at all.

She silently glanced at the empty cone in her hand, then brought it to her mouth and crunched on it.

“…”

Now it was the Turkish uncle’s turn to be silent.

So he teased Lucia again with the same trick.

Lucia tasted another crunchy cone.

“Little girl, you ate the cone, what are you going to use to hold the ice cream?” The Turkish uncle laughed in exasperation.

Lucia pointed to the wall with her arm: “Don’t you have hundreds more over there?”

“But you only bought one ice cream, so you can only have one cone.” The uncle said with a smile.

Lucia was puzzled: “You said it yourself, I bought ice cream, not a cone… so when are you going to give me the ice cream?”

The evil dragon rarely confronted humans like this. Usually, in this situation, she would have hidden behind Xia Li and let him solve the problem.

But this time was different.

◈◈◈

This was a major event concerning dessert food, and Lucia wanted to face it herself.

After finishing the cone in her hand, Lucia felt that it tasted pretty good.

If the black-bearded uncle continued to tease her, she could stand here and eat cone skins all day.

“You…”

The Turkish uncle looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

It was an industry rule to only tease children, not adults.

Adults were thin-skinned and customers, and teasing them a couple of times would usually annoy them, making it difficult to handle the situation afterward.

If it weren’t for the delicate and well-behaved appearance of the little girl in front of him, he wouldn’t have made a fool of himself.

Scooping up the vanilla ice cream the little girl had designated, the Turkish uncle took out a new cone.

He glanced at the little girl’s eyes, and the little girl was also looking at him. The two looked at each other silently, as if engaged in some kind of psychological game.

After a moment, the Turkish uncle handed out the ice cream with the long stick.

The moment the little girl relaxed her vigilance and reached out…

The corner of the uncle’s mouth curled up, his face beaming with the joy of victory.

“…Huh?”

Judging from the feeling just now, the ice cream on his stick should have slipped away from the little girl’s hand again.

How come this ice cream… ended up in the little girl’s hand intact?

The Turkish uncle felt that something must be wrong, he was a little confused.

“…The money has been paid.”

Xia Li, who had been watching the show from the side, suddenly stepped forward.

His broad shoulders blocked the Turkish uncle, and he nodded at him with a smile.

Lucia slurped on her ice cream, Xia Li pulled her dragon claw and quickly left this place of right and wrong.

“I’m asking you, what happened just now?”

Finding a safe place, Xia Li began to interrogate the evil dragon.

The evil dragon was eating, she didn’t intend to pay attention to him.

Seeing her like this, Xia Li directly snatched the food from the dragon’s mouth.

The evil dragon’s claws were empty, the ice cream was snatched away by the Brave Hero, so she could only lick her lips and answer the Brave Hero’s question innocently.

“I, I don’t know…”

“You used magic!”

“The ice cream flew over by itself.”

The evil dragon’s tone was firm.

If Xia Li hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would have been deceived by her watery eyes.

“You used levitation magic.” Xia Li said with certainty.

Lucia thought for a while and reluctantly admitted: “It seems so.”

The expression on the Brave Hero’s face in front of her was not very good, so Lucia had to change her strategy and explain in a low voice.

“For the first hundred years of my life, I lived in an environment where magic was at my beck and call. After coming to Earth, even though I don’t have magic power, I still have this subconscious habit…

I couldn’t activate it before because I didn’t have magic power, but now that I have magic power, this subconscious behavior was directly realized.”

The evil dragon stared at the ice cream cone held high by Xia Li, anxious, and continued to speak.

“Just like when I subconsciously wanted to breathe fire just now!”

The ice cream was so light that levitating it didn’t even count as first-order magic. This kind of thing was as easy as eating and drinking for a dragon.

Lucia could be sure that the dragon scales on her face were definitely still there.

“…It was just a slight change in the trajectory of motion, so subtle that it was hard to discern with the naked eye, the surveillance cameras definitely couldn’t capture it!” The evil dragon patted her chest and guaranteed.

But the expression on Xia Li’s face was still so serious, it looked scary to the dragon.

Alright, alright.

It was indeed her fault this time.

She had just promised Xia Li half an hour ago that she wouldn’t use magic, and she didn’t expect to break her promise so soon.

“I will definitely restrain myself in the future!”

Lucia swore, staring at the ice cream cone.

Xia Li seemed to be moved by her sincerity, and his raised arm lowered a bit.

Seeing that this tactic worked, Lucia beckoned to Xia Li.

“Xia Li, let me tell you a secret…”

“Speak.”

Xia Li knew that this evil dragon had been up to a lot of mischief lately, he raised the ice cream cone warily and bent down to hear what she wanted to say.

He thought the evil dragon would continue to mumble a bunch of explanations.

Unexpectedly, the dragon didn’t explain anymore, she directly stood on tiptoe and kissed Xia Li’s face.

“…”

Xia Li froze.

What kind of tactic was this?

As a Brave Hero with an iron will, Xia Li knew that he was neither soft nor hard to deal with.

Using magic recklessly was a serious matter, he had to teach the evil dragon a lesson…

Standing on tiptoe, Lucia planted another soft kiss on Xia Li’s other cheek.

Xia Li directly crashed.

“I forgive you.”

Xia Li, who was quite principled, returned the ice cream to the eagerly waiting evil dragon.

He had wanted to switch to Teacher Xia mode and lecture her a bit…

Forget it, she gave too much.
