Chapter 79: Successfully Captured a Dragon
Xia Li took Lucia for a stroll in the artificial park outside their home.
It was a weekday, and with the temperature turning colder, the rainbow track by the lake was empty.
The clear blue sky hung overhead, and the autumn wind brushed against the sparkling water.
The sun after the rain wasn’t warm at all. The water vapor rising from his face was blown by the cold wind, like another bone-chilling magical attack.
Xia Li pulled his collar up to the top, hands tucked in his pockets.
He walked slowly, almost at the same pace as the elderly playing chess in the park.
But Lucia was different.
The silly dragon dashed out like a gust of wind, her soft leather shoes pattering loudly as she occasionally zipped past the aunties walking their dogs, startling both the aunties and their dogs.
“Woof woof woof!!” A husky without a leash was so scared by Lucia that it ran with its tail between its legs, a series of yelps echoing around the tranquil lake.
“Grrr!”
When Lucia was a dragon, she liked to scare these small animals, and her nature hadn’t changed even in human form.
She clenched her hands into claws and chased after the dog’s butt.
The dog was so frightened that its soul almost flew out of its body. The dog owner stood dumbfounded in the distance, seemingly shocked by this scene.
He had seen dogs chasing dogs, dogs chasing little girls… but this was the first time he had seen a little girl chasing a dog.
The key was that his dog was usually very brave, but it was actually scared into such a pathetic state.
Seeing that the dog was about to jump into the lake in its panic, Xia Li quickly shouted.
“Get back here!”
Xia Li’s leisurely demeanor was completely shattered as he hurriedly chased after her.
“Hee hee hee…”
Lucia stopped, and the dog, which was about to jump into the water, immediately turned and fled.
“Human’s two legs are too slow. If I had dragon wings, I would have caught it already!”
Lucia concluded with a huff.
She was very excited now. Running a few steps had actually ignited her hunting instincts.
“…This is someone’s dog. Catching someone else’s dog is the same as stealing their belongings.”
Xia Li felt it was necessary to correct the evil dragon’s nature in time.
“What about the fish in this lake?” Lucia pointed to the lake and asked again.
“There’s a ‘No Fishing’ sign posted by the roadside, so you can’t catch them either.”
“What about the birds in the sky?”
“Birds are also a no-go.”
“Then what can I catch?”
“You can’t catch most animals, not even wild ones,” Xia Li paused and said, “But you can catch bugs.”
“Bugs?”
“Yes, common bugs, you can do whatever you want with them.”
The humid environment in the south had no shortage of insects, especially at the height of the third floor where Xia Li’s house was located. Palm-sized spiders, flying cockroaches, centipedes longer than fingers, these creatures existed all year round.
“If you really want to hunt, go catch the bugs at home, and throw them in the trash can after you catch them. Don’t eat them.” Xia Li said sternly.
He used to kill bugs with insecticide spray. Now, letting the evil dragon at home be a bug-catching expert was not only environmentally friendly but also allowed her to release her natural instincts.
“What’s the fun in catching bugs…”
Lucia muttered.
She really wanted to take a bite out of Xia Li’s arm while she was still excited.
Marking prey was one of the behaviors of hunting…
But forget it, it would hurt Xia Li.
“Lookout tower…”
Before the previous hunting issue was resolved, Lucia’s attention was attracted by something else.
In the center of the park, there was a giraffe-like structure.
There was a ladder on the giraffe’s back that could be climbed up. This height of over two meters could be considered a small lookout tower.
The giraffe’s long neck was lowered and pressed to the ground, its entire neck a cross-section, which looked like some kind of track.
Human cubs were sliding down from it!
“Giant Dragon Launcher!” Lucia exclaimed excitedly.
Xia Li: “…”
It was just a slide. Why was this evil dragon getting better at making up words lately?
◈◈◈
“If you’re going to play, be careful not to fall…”
Turning his head, the evil dragon had already vanished from her spot.
In the blink of an eye, Lucia was already at the back of the line for the slide.
To be fair, she, a big kid, blended in quite well with the little kids.
The slide in this park was the most popular attraction, and even at noon there were two or three children playing on it.
The children giggled as they slid down from the giraffe’s back and landed in their parents’ arms.
By the time Lucia’s turn came, Xia Li had also walked over.
“Dragon Collision!”
Lucia imitated the previous human cubs, sitting at the highest point of the giraffe’s back, shouting excitedly.
However, as she shouted, she felt something was wrong.
At the end of the Giant Dragon Launcher, on the lawn, Xia Li was squatting quietly.
He didn’t open his arms either, just squatted there, wrists resting on his knees, his expression calm as he watched Lucia.
Wait a minute…
Lucia had a bad feeling.
If she slid down now, wouldn’t the Dragon Collision crash into Xia Li!
The force of a Dragon Collision was enormous.
If it hit Xia Li, he would definitely be crushed into a pulp!
Just as Lucia hesitated and wanted to climb back up, she realized there was no turning back.
The human cub blocked her way.
“Big sister, come down quickly~”
The human cub with pigtails urged her.
“No, no…”
Lucia shook her head, trying to stand up.
But as she loosened her grip, her butt, which was perched on the edge of the slide, slipped down.
This plastic slide was polished smooth by countless little butts, and Lucia slid sideways down.
She tried to brake with her feet midway, but this kind of curved slide was impossible to stop.
Seeing that the dragon was about to knock the brave hero flying, the idiot hero didn’t even intend to back away.
The brave hero even leaned forward slightly, his open arms like a large capture cage.
As Lucia landed, the capture cage caught her.
“Thump.”
Lucia crashed into Xia Li’s arms.
“Successfully captured a dragon.”
Xia Li said with a triumphant smile, “Take it home and stew it.”
Lucia’s head lifted slightly from inside her sheep hat.
She was a little hot after chasing the dog, her cheeks flushed red.
This Giant Dragon Launcher wasn’t fun at all…
And it was scary.
If she had known that there was a brave hero at the end of the launcher, she wouldn’t have played.
How could she, the dignified Silver Dragon, be captured so easily?
“Xia Li, I’m not an ingredient, you can’t stew me.”
Lucia buried her face in Xia Li’s thick sweater, taking the opportunity to take a deep breath and burrow deeper.
Xia Li’s scent was very pleasant to Lucia.
“I still have to cook for you. If you stew me, there will be no one to cook for you.”
“I don’t care.”
Xia Li lifted the evil dragon from the ground and smoothed her hair that was flying up due to static.
“Once caught, it’s mine.”
