My Wife is an Evil Dragon

Chapter 184

Chapter 184: Nibble

As they were leaving, the fiery red sun was still hanging in the sky, not having completely set.

Fang Xia didn’t like driving at night, so she decided to head home before nightfall.

Usually, she would definitely take Xia Li to stay at her mother’s house for a night, but with Lucia there, she was worried that it might be inconvenient for her.

There would be plenty of opportunities in the future, it wasn’t a big deal to miss this one day.

“Mom, I’m going back.”

“Be careful on the road, drive slowly…”

“Yeah, you can go back and rest, no need to see us off.”

“Goodbye, Grandma.”

“Goodbye, Mother-in-law!” The three got into the car and waved goodbye to the old woman.

The eighty-year-old woman stood under the setting sun, her expression filled with reluctance, but mostly with a smile.

In Xia Li’s memory, his grandmother was a woman of few words, completely opposite to Fang Xia.

She liked to look at you gently like this, not expressing her thoughts, but silently giving, doing everything meticulously.

As the car drove further and further away, the old woman’s shadow stretched long on the ground, until it disappeared.

Lucia leaned against the window, looking in that direction, feeling an indescribable sadness in her heart.

Alone…

What could she do at home on a normal day?

Humans, unlike dragons, could choose to go into a long slumber when they were bored.

Ordinary people would basically wake up after eight hours of sleep, and the elderly slept even less.

Mother-in-law couldn’t use the internet, and because of her health, she couldn’t walk very far. She was forever trapped in that row of small houses, with no one to talk to around her.

This feeling of loneliness, Lucia had experienced deeply.

“Get your head inside, your face is about to crack from the wind… What are you thinking about?”

Xia Li in the car pulled Lucia back in. Lucia’s small face was red from the cold, she shook her head and said: “I feel a little dizzy.”

Xia Li remembered that this dragon was prone to carsickness.

Usually, when they were in the car, Xia Li would open the sunroof. Today, the sunroof was also left slightly open, but the cement road in the countryside was winding with many curves. Even Xia Li would feel uncomfortable after looking at his phone for a long time, let alone Lucia, who was already prone to carsickness.

It was fine on the way here, Lucia slept through the whole journey. But now, on the way back, she had just eaten and couldn’t sleep, so it was normal for her to feel dizzy.

“Mom, slow down a bit, Lucia gets carsick.” Xia Li stretched his head forward and said.

Fang Xia’s speed obviously slowed down a bit. She took the bag from the passenger seat and threw it back.

“There are sliced ginger in there, you can put it on Little Lu’s belly button, it can help relieve the dizziness.”

“What kind of folk remedy is this…” Xia Li complained.

“This is not a folk remedy, this is scientifically proven.” Fang Xia retorted.

Although he felt it was unreliable, Xia Li decided to give it a try.

Fang Xia’s handbag was like Doraemon’s magic pocket, Xia Li found a fruit knife, band-aids, a hot water bottle… all kinds of random things inside.

He found a small sealed bag, and there were indeed sliced ginger inside.

Women were indeed meticulous, they could think of everything.

Xia Li secretly admired her, and took a slice of ginger and a band-aid.

Turning back, he saw that the evil dragon behind him had already laid down. Judging from her slightly furrowed brows, she must be really dizzy.

Xia Li reached out and opened her clothes, lifting a corner of her sweater.

Lucia’s brows twitched, and she squinted at Xia Li.

“…”

She didn’t know what Xia Li was going to do.

But to suddenly pull her clothes like this, and in front of the great humans…

The evil dragon’s face was blushing, she reached out and took the waist pillow beside her to cover her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

Sleep… asleep.

There was nothing she could do, she could only let Xia Li do whatever he wanted.

Seeing her series of actions, Xia Li couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

What was she doing… being shy for no reason.

It made him feel embarrassed.

It was clearly just a normal thing…

Lifting the innermost thermal underwear, the girl’s skin was fair and delicate.

Lucia’s waist was slender, her abdomen slightly bulging with a soft and perfect curve. As soon as Xia Li placed his warm palm on it, she moved slightly.

“…”

Lowering the small pillow covering her face, Lucia revealed a pair of watery light brown eyes, looking at Xia Li shyly.

That look, like a little lamb captured by a hunter with nowhere to escape.

Don’t look at me like that…

Xia Li felt like his health bar was almost empty.

He glanced at Fang Xia. It was already late, the rural road was dimly lit, and Fang Xia was driving carefully, not paying attention to the commotion in the car at all. Xia Li then leaned over and asked softly in the dragon’s ear.

“What are you thinking about?”

“M-my mind is blank…” Lucia said tremblingly.

Xia Li chuckled.

The dragon was usually so bold, but this was it?

He took out a slice of ginger and placed it on her belly.

Speaking of which, did oviparous creatures like Lucia have belly buttons?

He looked over and indeed saw a needle-like belly button.

This dragon had been eating well recently, gaining three pounds during every festival, putting on quite a bit of weight compared to when she first arrived on Earth.

Xia Li placed the ginger slice on it and then put a band-aid over it.

Lucia’s voice was soft and she let out two soft moans.

“Mmm…”

“Don’t make strange noises!”

“My belly is spicy.”

“It’s a folk remedy to relieve dizziness, it should work.” Xia Li pulled her sweater back down to cover Lucia.

Lucia covered her face with her hands. Her tone was normal, but Xia Li saw her small earlobes, red and translucent.

“Folk remedy… witchcraft!”

“It’s not that it’s related to witchcraft, it’s just completely irrelevant… Why are you sitting up? Lie back down.”

As he was speaking, Lucia suddenly sat up, startling Xia Li. He pressed on her shoulders to make her lie down.

The evil dragon didn’t budge, her eyes staring at Xia Li in the darkness, who knows what she was thinking.

She leaned forward and first rubbed her nose against Xia Li’s clothes, as if confirming some scent.

Xia Li had a bad feeling.

“Hiss…”

He knew it!

His arm was suddenly bitten by the evil dragon.

Wasn’t it said that the way dragons expressed their affection was by nibbling? This bite was clearly quite hard.

Rubbing his arm, considering Fang Xia was still sitting in the front, Xia Li silently endured this bite.

Fortunately, he was wearing thick clothes, otherwise this bite would definitely not have been so simple.

◈◈◈

After a long journey, the group finally returned to the city.

The rural roads faded away, and tall buildings rose from the ground, blocking most of their view.

Night had swallowed the city, and the street lights on both sides were like giants holding up the torch of human civilization, standing there eternally.

Red obstacle lights flickered on the rooftops in the distance, and the scenery outside the window became increasingly familiar.

Xia Li came back to his senses.

They were home.

“Mom, it’s so late, why don’t you stay the night and go back tomorrow morning?”

After getting out of the car, Xia Li was still worried about letting Fang Xia drive alone at night.

“No need.”

Fang Xia packed her things and tossed the car keys to Xia Li. She took a deep look at Lucia, who was holding Xia Li’s hand.

All in all, it was still inconvenient.

It wasn’t that Fang Xia herself was inconvenienced, but she was worried about Lucia being inconvenienced.

Xia Li understood and took out his phone to look for better hotels nearby.

Before he could say anything, a white car that had been waiting in the apartment complex for a long time flashed its high beams.

Fang Xia tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled at Xia Li: “Your dad is here to pick me up.”

Xia Li glanced over and indeed saw Old Xia sitting in the car.

He was still wearing a light blue shirt under his clothes, probably driving straight over after work. Facing Xia Li’s gaze, Old Xia raised his hand in greeting.

Seeing this, Xia Li turned and opened the trunk, stuffing a delicate gift box into Fang Xia’s hand.

“Mom, a little something from Little Lu and I.”

“Oh, you even got me a gift.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Fang Xia’s eyes. Judging by the packaging, it seemed to be from a well-known skincare brand.

“I… thought of getting you one when I was buying a gift for Grandma.” Xia Li said honestly.

He had originally planned to give it to her on New Year’s Eve, but since he had already bought it, a few days wouldn’t make a difference. Since they were going back to their hometown today, he might as well give it to her.

This way, Mrs. Fang could enjoy it for a couple more days.

“Oh, how thoughtful!”

Fang Xia beamed, her smile wide, “It would be great if you could give Mom a gift with your own hard-earned money someday… but I’m already very happy that you have this thought.”

“Mom, isn’t this from my own hard work?”

“Really?” Fang Xia scrutinized Xia Li.

This kid was currently unemployed, a social idler, and Fang Xia didn’t believe he had started making money.

“Didn’t I tell you before? I’m doing part-time work.”

◈◈◈

“Is it that… writing stories?”

“Yes, it’s a few thousand a month.” Xia Li nodded.

Fang Xia’s eyes lit up with joy.

She knew Xia Li wouldn’t lie to her about this, so she picked up the gift box and turned to walk over.

“Old Xia, your son bought me a gift with his first paycheck… Come and see!”

Xia Li: “…”

No, don’t tell my dad!

Xia Li hadn’t had time to prepare a gift for Old Xia. Even though Old Xia wouldn’t say anything if he knew, he would definitely be jealous in his heart.

Bracing himself, Xia Li quickly took out his phone and sent a message to Old Xia.

Summer Dawn: Dad, Little Lu and I have prepared a New Year’s gift for you. It will be delivered in a few days. I’ll give it to you then.

In less than half a minute, Old Xia replied.

Old Xia: Hmm, it’s okay, it’s enough that you have the thought.

Tsk, I don’t believe you.

You tsundere old man, you’re so bad.

Watching the white car drive away, Xia Li placed an order on Taobao for a carbon fiber fishing rod and asked the seller to send it by SF Express expedited shipping.

Squeezing Lucia’s small hand beside him, Xia Li took her home.

The dragon fell asleep again in the latter half of the journey. Xia Li sometimes had to admire the dragon race’s ability to sleep.

It seemed like she could sleep for twenty hours a day without any problems.

“Why did you bite me just now?”

Xia Li turned his head to ask the drowsy Lucia.

Lucia yawned and rubbed her eyes: “I didn’t.”

“What do you mean you didn’t? You bit me just now, and it was really hard.”

Xia Li wanted to pull up his sleeve to show Lucia, but he found that he couldn’t because there were too many layers of clothing.

“…Because you touched my belly.”

Lucia also remembered that scene, and her face under the streetlight turned rosy.

“What’s wrong with touching your belly? You have to bite me for touching it?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Nonsense, you’re not allowed to bite people like that again.”

“Does it hurt?” Lucia tilted her head.

“It hurts,” Xia Li said, “You almost bit through my arm.”

Back home.

Little Cotton, who had been lonely all day, meowed and greeted them at the door.

Lucia kicked off her shoes, changed into slippers, and then sheepishly picked up her white shoes and put them by the door.

Walking to Cotton’s cat bed, Lucia glanced at the empty food bowl and said in surprise.

“Cotton has such a good appetite? I thought you would be depressed and lose your appetite while we were away.”

“Meow~?”

If it were Lucia herself at home, she wouldn’t have such a good appetite.

As she refilled Cotton’s food bowl, Lucia felt a sense of emotion.

Indeed, there is a big difference between intelligent species and non-intelligent species.

The biggest difference is in emotional matters.

The more you think, the less you eat.

It’s a pity that Lucia no longer wants to be the carefree dragon she used to be, who only ate, slept, and had no worries.

“Stop petting the cat, go take a shower first. You played in the fields for so long today, your clothes are covered in mud, you’re filthy.”

Xia Li walked over and took Little Cotton from Lucia’s arms.

“Meow~ Meow~”

Little Cotton pawed at Xia Li’s arm and hugged it.

Compared to the mistress who could exert bloodline suppression on it, it still preferred the master with the pleasant scent.

Lucia saw this and pouted, feeling a little unhappy.

She suddenly remembered that Xia Li said he would show her… show her his butt, was it?

Just as she was about to bring it up, Lucia weighed her options again.

It was fine to talk big during the day when they were outside, but now it was just her and Xia Li at home…

If Xia Li really showed her, she might not even dare to look.

In the past, as a giant dragon, Lucia was fearless. She would dare to face anything, even a naked hero, let alone a hero’s butt.

But now, it felt strange.

And the sudden bite she gave Xia Li today was also…

The more she thought about it, the more her cheeks burned.

Lucia couldn’t tell if this was human love or dragon love.

But one thing was certain.

She seemed to like Xia Li more and more.

“What’s wrong? Did you freeze after I took the cat away?”

Xia Li waved his hand in front of Lucia, interrupting her thoughts.

This dragon was acting strange today, spacing out every now and then. Was she about to hibernate?

But there was no such thing as hibernation for giant dragons. This race slept whenever they wanted.

“…Hmph, I’m going to take a shower.”

The evil dragon rummaged through her wardrobe and went into the bathroom.

Xia Li was also a little tired. Between reading and working, he chose the latter.

He wearily opened his computer and posted the new chapter of his Record of Experiences before midnight.

He patrolled the comment section and checked his private messages. There was nothing unusual.

His finger hovered over the user interface of the user with the all-black avatar. Xia Li opened it curiously.

There was no reply. Their only conversation was still stuck at ‘Are you a transmigrator?’ with Xia Li’s answer of ‘Yes’.

Xia Li’s Record of Experiences had detailed settings. The content of the setting volume was almost one-third of the main text, and there were even various illustrations and analyses.

In the eyes of others, this was indeed a time-consuming and laborious process. After all, it took a lot of imagination to create a world that didn’t exist out of thin air.

But for Xia Li, he only needed to copy the settings of Azure Continent and ask Lucia to supplement the parts he didn’t understand. It didn’t take any brainpower at all.

The setting volume was not charged because it was a tool to attract setting enthusiasts and generate discussion.

Therefore, when normal readers saw him putting so much effort into something that didn’t make money, they mostly thought he was too free, apart from admiring his dedication.

But…

If it wasn’t a ‘normal reader’, they would think a lot more.

For example, under such a vast and currently bug-free worldview, asking if the other party was a transmigrator.

Xia Li didn’t know how this brother or sister with the black avatar came up with this idea.

Maybe it was a sudden inspiration. Or maybe… they had a similar experience?

【Brother, why did you ask that?】

Xia Li was still curious and sent a message.

After all, the novel had been serialized for two months, and this was the first person to ask him such a question.

“Buzz…”

As soon as the message was sent, the phone vibrated.

Xia Li, who was lost in thought, was startled. He opened the notification and saw that it was a WeChat message from Fang Xia.

Mrs. Fang: Son, like the first post on my WeChat Moments!

“…”

Xia Li’s heart skipped a beat. He felt both angry and amused when he saw this message.

He opened Fang Xia’s WeChat Moments, thinking it would be some kind of wool-gathering content like “like and share to win a prize”, but he found that the content of this post was related to him.

‘Received a New Year’s gift from my son and （future） daughter-in-law today~!’

Following this were nine photos of Fang Xia holding the gift box from various angles, with all the comments below being complimentary.

Aunt Liu: 『Flowers』

Uncle Chen: 『Strong』『Strong』 Xiao Xia is starting to enjoy life!

Xia Li calmly liked the post.

After thinking for a while, he realized that he still had several mutual friends with Fang Xia, so he replied with a comment.

Summer Dawn: Mom, Happy New Year! You’re getting younger and more beautiful!

After posting this comment, Fang Xia would probably brag about it for months.

Let her be happy for a while. Whether a woman is young or not is mainly about her mentality. With Fang Xia’s mentality, Xia Li felt that she could stay young forever.

“…”

Unintentionally, his eyes caught a glimpse of a figure flashing by.

Looking up, Xia Li saw three shimmering silver dragon scales right in front of his eyes.

Lucia leaned over, trying to peek at Xia Li’s phone… It wasn’t even peeking, it was forcefully looking.

“You… You dragon, how come you don’t make any sound when you walk?” Xia Li was startled.

Lucia wiped her hair with a towel: “Let me see what you’re doing.”

“At this hour, of course I’m working.”

“Oh…”

Lucia looked away sullenly.

She thought the hero was hiding in his little dark room looking at some strange pictures. She wanted to catch him red-handed but failed.

It seemed she was overthinking it.

It’s the end of the month,
