My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 139 Maybe the Evil Dragon is a Genius

Chapter 139 Maybe the Evil Dragon is a Genius
In the pet shop on the first floor.

Xia Li had a large bag of supplies hanging on his arm.

Xiaolong in front of him was holding two packs of cat strips and comparing the prices. He then picked out a pack with a good price-performance ratio and threw it into the basket.

Xia Li has already prepared herself mentally for the cotton adoption.

But when it came time to pay the bill, I still felt a little pain.

It seems that working part-time is something that needs to be put on the agenda.

Her wallet became even emptier, as most of the 5,000 yuan in aid Ms. Fang had already been used up.

The food expenses can only last for two months at most before we run out of money.

"how much is the total?"

As soon as the cashier finished scanning the items, Lucia leaned forward to look at the prices.

Xia Li moved sideways to block it.

His broad shoulders completely blocked Lucia's sight. Lucia didn't see anything, and then she heard a "beep", and the payment was successful.

These things are not something a little dragon like her should see.

It's not Lucia's turn to worry about money issues at home.

Xia Li silently closed the payment interface on his phone and put it back in his pocket.

"How much is it?"

Lucia, who saw nothing, asked behind Xia Li.

Xia Li carried two bags of cat food weighing twelve pounds into the car, and Lucia grunted and helped.

After putting heavy objects such as cat litter and cat bed on the trunk of the car, it became noticeably lighter.

"It's not much money, don't worry about it."

Seeing that the evil dragon had no intention of letting go of this question, Xia Li clapped his hands and answered as if nothing had happened.

Lucia kept her face quiet and was silent for a while.

She just saw the price of each item, and the unit prices were not cheap.

After roughly calculating the numbers in her mind, Lucia successfully confused herself, and finally grabbed Xia Li's arm and said sincerely.

"I will eat less in the future and use the little money I save to grow cotton."

"Don't say that."

Xia Li was both amused and confused. She was touched but also a little annoyed.

"You make me feel like a piece of crap when you say that."

However, this matter does need to be faced.

Although the online serialized travelogues have started to generate a considerable income, this income is not stable enough, and you never know when the books will suddenly disappear.

Xia Li never expected to support himself with this book. After all, this job was only a part-time job. As for his main job, he still had to think about it.

If he really doesn't have any good ideas for starting a business, Xia Li will first become a worker.

It's better to take action than to be a daydreamer at home.

Going out and gaining some social experience is also a kind of progress.

Take Lucia back to the pet hospital on the second floor.

The doctor in charge of examining Cotton brought Cotton out. The skinny little calico cat was wrapped in Xia Li's light gray towel.

After a series of examinations and tossing, Cotton became much weaker.

It raised its little head and saw two familiar people, then it meowed in a soft voice.

When Lucia heard the voice, she was completely fascinated and quickly took Cotton from the veterinarian.

"The internal and external deworming has been completed. At present, the kitten has no problems except malnutrition."

Doctor Li said, "The biochemical results will take another half an hour to come out...Do you want to take it back first and we will send you the results electronically, or do you want to wait and get the paper version?"

Xia Li glanced at the evil dragon who was playing with cotton with his fingers, thought for a moment and answered.

"My girlfriend can't read the electronic version... Let's wait here."

"Okay," Dr. Li nodded, "Then you sit here for a while. When the report comes out, I'll ask the front desk to bring it to you."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

After explaining his work, Dr. Li returned to his office to receive the next round of guests.

"Don't play with it with your fingers, it will develop a habit of biting you."

The evil dragon next to him couldn't let go of the kitten, so Xia Li grabbed her little hand and corrected this bad habit.

"But Cotton doesn't even dare to open its mouth to bite me." Lucia said aggrievedly.

Xia Li didn't believe it and demonstrated it herself: "It's easy to get bitten if you tease small animals with your hands. There are too many such examples on the Internet."

As he spoke, Xia Li stretched out his hand.

Mianhua was very considerate and set a negative example. She opened her mouth and bit Xia Li's finger.

"Hey hey hey..."

Lucia smiled from ear to ear.

Xia Li: “…”

"It doesn't dare to bite you, it only dares to bite me." Xia Li concluded.

"Meow~"

The cat in the evil dragon's arms raised its head and let out a sweet yet aggrieved meow at Xia Li.

Lucia laughed even harder this time.

What a cat relying on the dragon's power.

The situation of my family brother is a bit worrying.

But...why does this cat have the same personality as a dragon?

She bit him and meowed sweetly at him.

As a brave man who has seen the world, would Xia Li fall for this kind of practice of beating someone with a stick and then giving him a candy?
But he ate it anyway.

"As dumb as a dragon."

Xia Li's big hands rubbed Xiaolong's hair that was tied into a bun.

The expression on Lucia's face was as if she was halfway through laughing but then she held it back.

'Dumb as a dragon'

Just five words...it sounded like I was called stupid twice.

The evil dragon's head was burned again by Xia Li's words.

Xia Li then became happy, rubbing the soft dragon claw in the palm of his hand and walking forward.

"Let's go and take a look around."

"Um……"

Lucia is also quite interested in places like pet hospitals.

The humans in this world are different from the plunderers on the continent of Aize.

They are friendly to all animals. They not only build zoos for homeless wild animals, but also allocate medical resources to treat small animals that have homes.

Before this, Lucia had only seen animal slaughterhouses on the continent of Aize. The term "pet hospital" was too magical for her.

The two walked through the hospital corridor.

The two rows on the left and right sides of the corridor are rooms of the same size, and in each room there is a veterinarian in a white coat providing consultations.

Xia Li estimated in his mind and found that the scale of this pet hospital was indeed quite large.

When Xia Li saw the number of one hundred staff members on the introduction board at the door just now, he subconsciously felt that it was an exaggeration.

How can a pet hospital have hundreds of employees? It's not a people's hospital.

Now after looking around, I found that it is really possible to exceed 100.

From the consultation room to the biochemical testing room, as well as the small rooms for X-rays, ultrasounds, and CT scans, the medical level of this pet hospital is top-notch in Shu Province.

No wonder there is a constant stream of customers and every doctor looks very busy. This hospital must have a very good reputation in the pet community.

How much money can I make in this day...Xia Li wondered in his heart.

For a poor unemployed man like him who is short of money, seeing a store with booming business like this would subconsciously lead him to think about money.

Walking to the end of the room, there is a large room with iron cages lining the entire wall.

There are three big words "Inpatient Department" hanging on the door.

Xia Li didn't open the door and went in, but just stood at the door and took a look inside.

He saw the cow cat that had escaped and was sent back.

This cat seems to be an adult. Its half-black and half-white face makes it look not only a little neurotic but also evil.

Looking up and glancing at the movement outside the room, the cow cat yawned lazily, then lay down on its side in the cage and fell asleep with its limbs stretched straight.

It is worthy of being called a cow cat.

This sleeping posture is like sleeping in bed.

"There are rats hospitalized inside..."

Lucia also stood on tiptoe and followed Xia Li to take a look inside the room.

The neatly arranged iron cages in the inpatient department made my scalp tingle.

There are also rooms full of cages like this on the continent of Aize, but the animals imprisoned in them are meant to be killed, while here, they are used to save lives.

"The chinchilla was very popular during the Year of the Rat in the past few years, but it has been rarely seen recently," said Xia Li.

Lucia murmured, "How could they lock the mouse and the cat in the same room..."

"Haha."

Xia Li also thought this matter was quite outrageous, but since this hospital was short of beds, they probably didn't care so much about the issue of species zoning.

Holding Lucia's little hand, we returned the same way.

Lucia held the kitten in one hand. Since her other dragon claw was controlled by Xia Li, she could only tilt her head and rub the cotton with her face.

"..."

Xia Li was extremely envious when he saw this scene.

"That big dog must have a tummy ache."

Passing by a consultation room, Lucia glanced at the golden retriever lying on the examination table and said.

"How do you know?" Xia Li was surprised.

"Because his breathing became heavier, and his stomach twisted when he breathed..."

Lucia thought about it and found that she couldn't explain the reason, but her intuition told her so.

Dragons are a race with very accurate intuition.

The humans on the continent of Aize even once believed that this race had a sixth sense that exceeded normal senses.

Especially these weak beasts that are suppressed by their bloodline, the dragons can easily see through them.

"...You still have this kind of talent?"

Xia Li pinched his chin and thought for a while, and suddenly he felt like he had gotten the idea.

Maybe Lucia is a genius in the veterinary field?

"Here, what's the problem with the Corgi in here?"

"I ate too much and couldn't digest it," Lucia added, standing in the half-open doorway, glancing at the fat orange puppy inside.

"The stomach must be full of feces."

At the same time, the veterinarian in the consultation room pressed the corgi's belly with his hand and listened under its chest with a stethoscope.

"There must be something wrong with your stomach. Your stomach is hard. Have you not had a bowel movement in a long time?"

"Yes, a little bit... Recently when I took him out, he wouldn't go to the toilet, and he didn't eat much."

The veterinarian in the consultation room asks and answers questions to the pet owner.

"I'm awesome?" Xia Li exclaimed.

"How do we solve this situation?" he asked Xiaolong beside him.

Lucia said without hesitation: "Dogs in the wild will choose to eat grass to induce vomiting. Some special plants will cause diarrhea after eating. They will use this method to help themselves solve the problem."

"It's not a big problem," the veterinarian's voice came from inside the consultation room.

"I'll prescribe a laxative for you to take later. If that doesn't work, use a suppository. Remember to feed your baby some probiotics on a regular basis."

The veterinarian started writing down the prescription.

Xia Li was stunned listening at the door.

Although the solutions vary according to the level of civilization, the conclusions are exactly the same.

Xia Li still felt that it was a coincidence, and the pets in the two rooms did not have serious problems.

He pulled Lucia to look for the next target.

In another consulting room with its door completely closed, a silver and white short-haired cat was lying on the table.

It looked extremely weak, its breathing was short and rapid, and its half-open eyes seemed a little dazed because it could not focus.

The pet owner in the room was saying something in an emotional voice, wiping his tears as he spoke.

Lucia looked from a distance through the glass window.

Then she frowned slightly and said to Xia Li with some regret.

"I have heart problems... I feel like I'm dying."

Xia Li stood at the door and looked inside the house.

Although he couldn't see what the two people inside were communicating, Xia Li saw with his own eyes the veterinarian in a white coat typing text on the computer.

'Left ventricular hypertrophy is obvious. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Suspected attack. Sudden death?'

Xia Li tightened his hand holding the dragon's claw and led her away from the corridor.

"Lucia..."

Lucia was sitting on a chair in the waiting room stroking Cotton. After being abused by her a few times, Cotton was no longer afraid of her. It would even raise its head to meet the outstretched dragon claws.

Hearing Xia Li calling her name, Lucia looked up in confusion.

Xia Li thought deeply for a while before asking.

"What do you think of becoming a veterinarian?"

"veterinary?"

"They are the doctors in white clothes in the rooms we saw just now. They are responsible for treating the small animals."

"Oh... I'm a doctor?" Lucia was curious about the question.

But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed one of the few things she can do.

Saving small animals... seems to be a kind of social value, right?

“I’m going to be a doctor!”

Lucia is a person of action, she goes wherever she says she wants.

She was holding Cotton and was about to go to the front desk to discuss things with the receptionist, but Xia Li grabbed her.

"Wait, you can't go now."
