My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 126 The Dragon's Pet
The dragon who answered with the three words "old thing" was, as expected, beaten up by the hero.

Her face turned red from being pinched by Xia Li, and her eyes, which were brighter than gems, looked very aggrieved.

The word "old" in the Chinese textbook can be used to form many words.

How did she know what word Xia Li wanted.

Xia Li didn't tell her the correct answer either, saying something like 'It would be meaningless if I told you, you have to figure it out yourself'.

Lucia felt very aggrieved.

Besides, what's wrong with the word "old thing"? In the dragon clan, the older the dragon is, the higher its status.

"Get off the bus."

When Xia Li arrived at the destination, he first closed the panoramic sunroof above his head, then walked around the car and opened the door for Lucia.

Lucia was unhappy and pedaled down awkwardly.

Xia Li wanted to laugh when she saw the red marks on her fair and tender face.

It seems like I was a bit heavy-handed...

It could also be that Lucia's face was too delicate, and a slight pinch would leave a mark.

Suddenly I missed Lucia’s face covered with dragon scales. That kind of defense... I’m afraid Xia Li couldn’t even bite it with his teeth.

"Where are we?"

After getting off the bus, Lucia looked around. The street was unfamiliar to her and she had never been there before.

"There is a big pet shop in Jinjiang District." Xia Li replied.

After getting a car, their range of activities has greatly increased. Before, they would hesitate for a long time before crossing a district, but now they can do it with just one step on the accelerator.

"A pet shop...?"

Lucia soon saw the pet shop that Xia Li mentioned.

The sign of this store is very big, spanning seven or eight stores.

It looks like the largest shop on this street.

"Well, I thought about it and felt that it would be better to have a pet at home," Xia Li locked the car and moved forward holding Lucia's little hand.

"If I go out to work in the future, at least you'll have someone to keep you company when you're home, so you won't be so bored."

"No, no, no..."

Lucia is still very resistant to the idea of ​​having a pet.

But Xia Li still insisted: "Why not? Didn't I tell you that this is a basic need in life? Keeping a pet can bring spiritual pleasure and a sense of accomplishment. This positive emotion is no less satisfying than eating two delicious meals. In the long run, the cost-effectiveness is still very high."

"...I don't like small animals." Lucia said stubbornly.

keep a pet?
Any animal that appears around the dragon's nest is food for the dragon.

Isn’t raising a pet just raising emergency food?

"You obviously like small animals very much. Last time, you stroked Taozi's dog until it was bald." Xia Li said with a smile.

"That's different..." Lucia said with a straight face, "It's okay to play with it, but it's too troublesome to feed it and give it water every day."

As the name suggests, pets are animals that are meant to be pampered.

When Lucia thought about a weak animal appearing to snatch food from her, she felt a sense of territorial crisis.

and……

"Also, if you have a pet, you will focus your energy on it, which is not good."

"...Why are you still jealous of your pet?"

Xia Li was very happy after listening to Lucia's theory.

"In any case, you and my parents come first, I come second, and everything else comes second." Xia Li said with a smile.

When I pushed open the glass door, the air conditioning and heating from the pet shop hit me in the face.

There are no enthusiastic shopping guides like those in mobile phone stores and clothing stores. In the huge store, there are only two clerks introducing the habits and precautions of pets to customers who want to buy.

This store is indeed the one that Xia Li had seen introduced before coming here.

It is big enough and has many varieties.

In addition to the common cats and dogs, there are new pets such as rabbits and ferrets.

Going further in, in an acrylic box decorated with green grass, Xia Li even saw some unusual pets such as spiders and geckos.

The entire floor of the pet shop was set up like a small zoo. Lucia really liked the small animals. She lay in front of a large transparent box, staring at the gecko hidden behind the rockery.

The house gecko is a kind of gecko with a thick tail and a cute round head.

The one that Lucia took a fancy to was a gray gecko with silver spots on its body. Its eyes were big, round, and black. It was looking up at Lucia.

"Doesn't it look very similar to your original form?" Xia Li said beside him.

Lucia puffed out her cheeks, looking a little unhappy.

It would be better to say that she looks like a crayfish.

At least the crawfish was tasty.

Not only did the lizard look unpalatable, it also looked dull and weak.

"Not like."

Lucia snorted and looked elsewhere.

This store sells not only pets, but also a large number of pet supplies on the middle shelves. Judging from the choices made by customers, it is these retail products that are in greater demand.

"Do you want that?"

Xia Li pulled Lucia to the shelf and pointed to the cardboard at the bottom.

"what is this?"

It was the first time Lucia saw cardboard being sold.

"A cat scratching board, used for sharpening claws. You can sharpen your dragon claws."

Lucia: “…”

"And this," Xia Li became more and more excited as he spoke, picking up a bag of puppy chew sticks to show Lucia.

"This is for teeth grinding. It's just right for grinding your dragon teeth. Otherwise, it will hurt when you bite people."

Lucia: “…”

"And this bottle for feeding the kitten. When you drink milk at night..."

Xia Li was talking excitedly when Ailong walked past him calmly. As he walked past, Lucia's small leather shoes 'accidentally' stepped on Xia Li's instep.

She stepped directly over Xia Li.

Xia Li grimaced after being kicked, but he stopped being mean.

The two came to the most popular cabinet for cats and dogs. The three little Pomeranians in the cage looked like tofu.

The puppy was barking and interacting enthusiastically with the other two female customers.

Perhaps girls have no resistance to such cute furry animals. The two female customers couldn't stop smiling and kept saying that they wanted to keep them, but the landlord who rented the house to them might not agree.

"Dandelion dumplings."

Lucia was also quite interested in this white fluffy little creature.

From a dragon's perspective, a puppy of this size is just three dandelions.

She squatted down, preparing to reach in and touch the dog like the other two female customers did.

"Woof—woof, woof, woof!"

The Pomeranian, which was sticking out its tongue sweetly in the last second, seemed to have seen its natural enemy who was about to eat it in the next second, and it screamed and retreated repeatedly.

The two female customers were startled and the shop assistant not far away also rushed over after hearing the news.

After a careful inspection, it was found that the puppy did not seem to be attacked or in a fight.

"what happened?"

"I don't know. We just touched them normally and they suddenly started barking..."

The female customer looked around, but no one noticed anything unusual.

Lucia withdrew her hand silently.

She stared at the three puppies huddled in the corner, her expression somewhat lonely.

"…It's okay, let's take a look at the others."

Xia Li whispered something to comfort her and pulled her arm to stand up.

Lucia said nothing, turned around and went to check the other cabinets.

As expected, all dogs, big and small, were afraid of her. Even the bulldog that claimed it could battle with a bull, after looking at Lucia, tucked its tail between its legs and went back into its kennel.

"Humph……"

Lucia was unhappy and muttered something.

The puppy is not fun to play with, he is too timid.

She could still touch the big dog, but the small dog didn't even have the courage to face her.

"How can we keep a pet like this..." Lucia said dissatisfiedly.

Although she was being stubborn just now, she really liked this furry animal.

She had loved being a dragon before. Chasing these little guys all over the mountain was one of the few pleasures in her life as a dragon.

Now that she has transformed into a human form, she likes these little guys even more.

Human hands are much smaller than dragon claws, so she can touch these small animals at will without squashing them, and she feels comfortable touching those furry things.

"Hey."

Xia Li sighed.

It’s quite sad when you think about it.

Because there is dragon blood flowing in her blood, even though Lucia likes these little guys very much, they will not approach her.

No wonder it is said that dragons are solitary by nature.

This is a kind of loneliness.

"Would you like to keep a cat? Cats are pretty cute."

Xia Li led Lucia to the cat cabinet.

Each kitten here has a suite, which comes with a litter box, cat bed, food and drinks. It is much more refined than the ones for dogs.

"Cats eat very little. They don't even eat as much as you do in one bite."

As Xia Li was speaking, the chubby golden cat in front of him raised its head in a daze.

When it saw Lucia's dragon eyes, its already round body became even more swollen, looking like a bloated hedgehog.

"…I was so scared." Xia Li said.

Perhaps the option of raising small animals is not an option for the dragon Lucia.

"It's afraid of me, too."

Lucia's dragon claws didn't even have time to stretch out before they retracted.

"Why don't we just take it home and try it? It's normal that it's not cooked at first. It will be cooked after a while."

Seeing the disappointed expression on the evil dragon's face, Xia Li suggested.

Lucia shook her head: "A forced melon is not sweet."

I don’t know where this guy learned these words, but they surprisingly fit in this place...?
The two walked around the cat cage.

Just like before, no cat was willing to approach Lucia, and some kittens were so scared that they huddled in the litter box.

Seeing this, Xia Li was also worried that the dragon's fragile mind would be hurt, so he said:

"It's okay. Raising a pet is a matter of fate. This proves that the pets here are not meant for you. There's no rush. You might find one on the road someday..."

Thinking back to the time when I thought about raising cats and dogs, it was Xia Li who took the initiative to bring up the idea.

Now Lucia was tempted to raise small animals, but no animal was willing to go home with her, which made the dragon very depressed.

"We were just going out for a stroll today. How about... we go to the flower and bird market and take a look. I'm sure the birds there will like you."

"No, birds are bad. Birds poop everywhere."

In the end, Lucia didn't even get to pet the furry little animal, and her pouty little mouth was raised as high as it could be.

Completely losing interest in the things in the pet store, she was about to leave in a depressed mood.

Xia Li was walking behind, and as if he had thought of something, he grabbed her dragon claw.

"and many more……"

"I thought of a small animal that you could keep at will."
