Chapter 62: This is… Destruction Magic!
Xia Li discovered that teaching a dragon to play computer games wasn’t a wise choice.
Letting a dragon sit on his lap was even less wise.
The dragon had no sense of boundaries. She fidgeted while sitting on Xia Li, complaining about his hard legs while trying to find a comfortable position.
Xia Li felt like he was being roasted on a pyre.
He wanted to put his arm around her waist… but pure friendship didn’t involve putting your arm around someone’s waist.
But if he didn’t, he was worried the dragon would fall off.
In the end, he could only extend his arms in an awkward way, reaching over Lucia’s shoulders to rest on the keyboard.
Xia Li played Terraria with Lucia for half an hour, then Hades for another half an hour.
The characters on the screen were either dying or on their way to dying. His gaze would always fall on Lucia’s profile, smelling her faint fragrance so close at hand, and then the character he was controlling in the game would automatically die.
He couldn’t concentrate at all.
Lucia was much more captivating than the game.
Right now, Xia Li had high attack but low defense, completely no match for Lucia, the full-health big boss.
He had to find a way to weaken her.
After some internal struggle, Xia Li decided that he couldn’t keep having his mind invaded by Lucia like this, so he deployed his Dragon Trapping Formation.
—There weren’t enough computers, but he still had a phone.
The crystallization of modern human civilization, even a babbling toddler could poke at it.
“This is… the Brave Hero’s ultimate secret treasure!”
Xia Li carried this little box with him everywhere he went, and Lucia had long been curious about it. Today, the Brave Hero’s secret treasure finally fell into her dragon claws.
“Hmm, my secret treasure, be careful with it.”
Xia Li unlocked his phone and handed it over.
He had already installed games like “Plants vs. Zombies,” “Snake,” and “Candy Crush,” which were very fitting for Lucia’s temperament.
“It’s similar to how the computer works, but the buttons are all on the screen. You can figure it out yourself.”
Xia Li didn’t teach Lucia much, letting her explore on her own.
Thinking carefully, Xia Li triple-checked that there was no software on his phone that was unsuitable for a dragon to see.
“Oh… how magical!”
Lucia, as always, was very supportive. She took the phone and went to the living room.
Seeing that his Dragon Trapping Formation had finally taken effect and Lucia had been successfully sent away by the phone, Xia Li breathed a sigh of relief.
He couldn’t have the dragon glued to his backside all the time.
They each needed to have their own things to do, at least Xia Li needed some personal space.
It wasn’t easy to keep this dragon at home… maybe he could get her some flowers, plants, kittens, or puppies to distract her.
“Lucia, mop the floor later, I’ll add five yuan to your account!”
Thinking of this, Xia Li shouted towards the living room.
“Okay!” Lucia readily accepted the task.
Finding a comfortable position on the sofa, Lucia lay down with an oversized sheep plush toy under her. Her two legs, clad in white socks, were curled up, and her toes wiggled as if tapping to some rhythm.
Although the games on the phone were fun, Lucia got tired of them after a few minutes.
While she could find some enjoyment in them, most of it was frustration from her own lack of skill.
Whether it was playing computer games or phone games, it wasn’t as fun as playing with Xia Li…
Lucia thought sullenly, exiting the game.
After poking around Xia Li’s phone, Lucia opened an app with a brightly colored flower icon.
“Record magic… oh, this is me!”
Lucia saw her own photos in Xia Li’s album. They were taken at the zoo during the day.
It was full of pictures of her being attacked by a flock of birds.
“Xia Li didn’t come to save me, he was actually casting record magic!”
Lucia puffed out a breath in anger.
Looking at her silly self waving her arms to chase away the birds in the photos, she got even angrier.
She continued to scroll through the images…
Lucia saw Xia Li’s university graduation photo.
The Chinese Language and Literature major had more female students. Lucia zoomed in on the photo with two fingers, trying to find Xia Li. Then she saw Xia Li standing upright in the middle of a group of human females.
“These are all girlfriends!!”
Lucia’s face was filled with shock.
Now she was even angrier.
Xia Li used to be good to his girlfriends in the team when he was in Azure Continent. He was always the first to rush into danger.
◈◈◈
But when it came to Lucia, Xia Li’s attitude completely changed.
And when Lucia brought it up, Xia Li wouldn’t admit it, saying he only had one girlfriend.
“You clearly have a hundred girlfriends!!”
Lucia said fiercely.
“Buzz—”
Just as Lucia was fuming and continuing to search for evidence of ‘girlfriends’ in Xia Li’s album, the phone in her hand suddenly vibrated.
Lucia was startled and almost threw the phone away.
That was dangerous, she was almost hit by magic!
Hiding behind the sheep plush, Lucia slowly leaned her head closer, staring at the vibrating phone on the sofa.
Two buttons appeared on the phone screen.
One red, one green.
It was a trap magic.
If she chose the wrong one, destruction magic would automatically activate!
Lucia vaguely remembered that every time they crossed the road, Xia Li would say, “Only cross on the green light, the green light is safe…”
So, according to the rules of this human world…
She should decisively choose green!
Lucia wasn’t stupid. After quickly thinking it through, she stretched out her arm, raised a finger, and tapped the green button.
Soon, the phone stopped vibrating.
Instead, a human figure appeared on the screen.
“Hello?”
“Xia Li, where are you?”
Lucia heard the voice of a human female.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Gi-Girlfriend!
One of Xia Li’s girlfriends appeared in the little box!
Quickly propping herself up on the sofa with both hands, Lucia dragged the sheep plush in her arms and crawled forward half a step.
“Hmm… hmm??”
Obviously, the ‘girlfriend’ was even more shocked than Lucia upon seeing her.
“Little girl, who are you?” the woman asked gently.
“Who are you?”
Lucia’s face was icy.
Her eyes at this moment were like those she used when facing an enemy.
“Me? I’m Xia Li’s mother, my name is Fang Xia. You can call me Aunt Fang.” The woman’s voice softened after seeing Lucia on the video, and a smile appeared on her face.
Oh, so she wasn’t a girlfriend.
Lucia leaned closer and finally saw the woman’s face in the little box.
She looked to be around forty or fifty years old in human terms, with slightly loose skin. Her black hair was tied in a ponytail that rested on one shoulder. Her eyes were gentle, her dark pupils seemed deep, and there was a hint of sharpness in her tenderness.
These eyes resembled Xia Li’s by seventy percent, and Lucia liked them.
Was she… the Brave Hero’s mother?
Oh! Then she must be a very great human.
“Hello.”
Lucia looked up and greeted her, the coldness on her face softening considerably.
Since she was Xia Li’s family, and also a great human, she deserved her recognition.
The Brave Hero’s mother should be even stronger than the Brave Hero, right?
“You must be Little Lu, Xia Li’s… roommate? I heard Little Tao mention you.” The Brave Hero’s mother said with a kind smile.
“I’m his girlfriend.” Lucia blurted out without thinking.
Then she felt that her statement needed further clarification, so she added two more words.
“One of his girlfriends.”
“Hmm…?”
“What?!!!”
