My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 137: Humans Pick Up Dragons, Dragons Pick Up Cats

"Miwu..."

The kitten in Xia Li's arms slowly raised its head.

After wiping the beer off its eyes, it was able to open them with difficulty.

Those eyes were amber, like Lucia's.

The kitten's eyes seemed to have a warm orange-yellow tint, and its pupils were dark black like Xia Li's.

It raised its head with some difficulty, and the first thing it saw was a human girl approaching it with a worried look on her face.

Although it felt an instinctive sense of oppression that made it want to run away when it looked into the eyes of the human girl, it lowered its head in peace because of the gentle look in her eyes.

Due to hunger and hypothermia, the kitten made weak sounds from its mouth and nose.

"Meow..."

"Xia Li, it's not afraid of me!"

Lucia looked up in surprise.

She had put her face close enough, but the kitten didn't show any fear or dodge. Instead, it closed its eyes.

"All things have spirits," Xia Li thought for a moment and said, "It probably knows that you are saving it, so it is not afraid of you."

"Spirituality!"

Lucia was full of affection for this magical little animal.

Before, whether it was dogs, cats, or any other animal in the zoo, they all kept their distance from Lucia.

And this one is undoubtedly special to Lucia.

“I want to take it back!”

"Well, take it home and dry its fur first. If it's left wet outside, it'll soon freeze to death..."

Xia Li glanced at the foam box in the corner.

If it hadn't been forced to drink beer, the kitten would have had no problem getting through the night.

What's more, if Xia Li hadn't driven away those three hooligans, the kitten would have been tortured to death by them.

The complicated human heart is much more sinister than the pure dragon heart.

"Xia Li, is it a male or female cat?"

Lucia followed Xia Li and they walked home together.

From time to time, she would tiptoe to look at the kitten in Xia Li's arms.

This kitten has a furry white belly and different colored patterns on both sides of its head, orange and black. Its face is round and it looks particularly sweet.

Xia Li said this variety is called 'Sanhua'.

"It's a female cat." Xia Li answered immediately.

"How did you know that?" Lucia asked curiously.

"Because it has no dan... because it is a cat with three colors.

In the chromosomes of cats, the X chromosome can only carry two colors, and the Y chromosome has no color. The chromosomes of male cats are XY, and those of female cats are XX, so only female cats can have three colors, that is, calico cats. "

"..."

This level of answer was completely beyond Lucia's comprehension.

The biological knowledge of humans on Earth is even more confusing to the dragon than the alchemy on the continent of Azer.

but……

Is this kitten actually a female?

Lucia took a quick look at the kitten in Xia Li's arms and fell into a brief thought.

"Do you like cats?" she suddenly asked Xia Li.

Xia Li answered casually: "Of course I am happy..."

Before he could even say the word "like", Xia Li suddenly remembered that this evil dragon would always find tricky angles to get jealous, so he changed his words and said:

"I only like dragons. I don't like other creatures."

"Oh……"

Lucia pursed her lips and smiled secretly.

This puts her at ease.

The female cat cannot threaten my position!
"..."

Xia Li looked at her secretly smiling face and thought to herself that she was not a fan of Furui, and this cat was no longer at Furui's level...

Does Lucia consider all female creatures as competitors?

Speaking of which, is Long considered a blessing?
Fury refers to a furry anthropomorphic animal, and Lucia meets the latter condition, but she is not furry at all.

But if dragon is also a kind of Furui, then Xia Li feels that he is a Furui fan.

Xia Li felt excited just by imagining Lucia growing a dragon's tail and little dragon horns.

so cool...

My thoughts have wandered.

Xia Li came to his senses, took out the key and opened the door.

The door of the house was gently pushed open, and Lucia attacked quickly like a dragon.

She didn't even have time to change into slippers, and ran straight to the balcony in her little leather shoes, step by step.

After taking a timid look at the sealed Demon-Exorcist Sword on the balcony, Lucia clumsily took the cardboard box next to the Sword.

Then she stood on tiptoe, pulled down the towel that Xia Li used to wash her face, bath, feet, hair and butt from the clothesline, and stuffed it into the box.

The evil dragon operated smoothly and she handed the box to Xia Li.

"Put it in." said the evil dragon generously.

no……

Why is it my towel? Xia Li was not so stingy. He took the towel and wrapped it around the kitten's head, then used the hair dryer at the lowest setting to dry the beer water off the kitten's body.

There is no peculiar smell on the kitten, so its living environment should not have been too bad before it was abandoned, but this does not mean that it does not have fleas or the like.

"So skinny..."

Lucia stayed quietly beside Xia Li, looking at Xia Li with her bright eyes.

This was the first time Xia Li saw the feeling of "pity" in Long's eyes.

The aloof dragons never care about the life or death of small animals.

For a dragon, crushing a kitten to death is as easy as crushing an ant to death for a human.

"Just like you."

Xia Li rubbed the dragon's head and said.

Lucia covered her head: "I'm not that skinny!"

"When you first came to Earth, you looked just like this cat to me, weak, pitiful and helpless."

"…Is that why you took me home?"

"Yeah, if you had shown any aggression at that time, I would definitely not have picked you up."

Xia Li released the little cat wrapped in a towel. The little cat was very obedient throughout the whole process. It did not struggle when Xia Li was blowing its hair. It just stayed on Xia Li's legs and let him do whatever he wanted.

When Xia Li let it out, it shook its body and opened its eyes as if it saw the light again at this moment.

The warm indoor light made it let down all its guard, and it looked up and called softly to Xia Li.

"Meow~"

So Xia Li rubbed the cat's head again.

Fortunately, this cat is not aggressive.

If it is an aggressive and easily stressed cat, Xia Li plans to feed it a full meal and then release it back to the city.

Perhaps a cat with that kind of personality could be tamed if raised more often, but that doesn't fit the current situation of Xia Li's family.

He only keeps small animals that are obedient and non-aggressive.

Just like the dragon in front of us.

“Then I do look quite similar to it…”

Lucia thought about it carefully.

When I first came to Earth, I knew nothing and could only snatch the bread from humans. Even after I got the bread, I wouldn't open it. I was like a headless fly, without a sense of belonging and unable to find my direction.

What’s the difference between Lucia in that situation and this stray kitten?
Suddenly I felt a little sympathy for this skinny cat.

"I used to be like you, without a home...but now I have a home!" Lucia said with emotion.

It reached out and poked the kitten's head. The kitten was still a little afraid of Lucia, but when Lucia touched it, it did not choose to dodge. Instead, it lowered its head slightly, with its ears drooping to the left and right, showing a submissive look.

"Cute!" Lucia smiled.

"Xia Li, let's give it a home!" She looked up and looked at Xia Li with a pair of bright eyes.

"Then you have to think about it carefully," Xia Li said, "adopting it is a lifelong thing... just like me adopting you."

"Well, I've thought about it!"

Lucia never had the worries and troubles that humans have.

A lifetime is just a lifetime.

The dragon clan is a very honest race.

"How many days can a cat live?" Lucia asked impatiently.

Xia Li thought about it and vaguely remembered the lifespan of this animal: "Cats have a very long lifespan. If we calculate it by years, if they are well cared for, it would be about fifteen years."

"Fifteen years..." Lucia muttered.

Fifteen years passed in the blink of an eye for Long.

But for a kitten, it is a lifetime.

Lucia thought of what Xia Li had said to her in the morning. Twenty years was enough time for the city to undergo earth-shaking changes. It was also enough time for a human baby of a few dozen centimeters to grow into an adult of 1.85 meters...

Fifteen years is a long time.

"Then I'll keep it for life... I'll wash a few more dishes every day!"

Having someone at home who eats for free is already enough of a burden for Xia Li, and now he has to pick up another one. Lucia realizes the seriousness of the matter.

There was not much she could do to share Xia Li's work. She could only wash a few more dishes to lighten Xia Li's burden.

Xia Li smiled.

Is this the way dragons adapt to society?

Surprisingly mild.

"Can I raise it? Can I raise it?"

Lucia held the kitten in her arms, and the kitten did not run away but stayed in her arms obediently.

Even though he was very scared, he just trembled in Lucia's arms. Finally, he raised his little head and meowed as if to show his friendliness.

The cat's meowing made Lucia's heart melt.

She couldn't wait for Xia Li to agree.

"May I!!"

Looking into those sincere eyes, Xia Li wanted to take this opportunity to cheat... to trade some conditions with Lucia.

For example, what should he do if the kitten has to sleep in a small dark room and there is only one room left in the house... He can only compromise and share a bed with Long, and so on.

But Xia Li didn't want these warm eyes to be forced to have the purpose of a transaction, so he nodded and agreed directly.

"Okay, now it's your pet."

"Give it a name."
