My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 172 We are going back to Aize Continent (5K)

Half a month passed in a flash.

It didn't rain during this period, and the average temperature rose by a few degrees, mainly because the sun was out during the day.

In a basin like Shu Province, it is rare to have a sunny day in winter.

Whenever the sun starts to rise, a lot of kittens and puppies, as well as old humans and baby humans will naturally "grow" on the edge of the flower beds downstairs in the community and on the lawns in the park outside.

It is particularly lively under the warm winter sun.

The old people brought small stools and chatted about family matters, the little kids on winter vacation chased their own shadows, and the adults who took a break from their busy schedule lay directly on the flower beds, enjoying the short sunshine.

Everything around me is unexpected, yet inexplicably beautiful.

Listening to the bustling conversations downstairs, the sunlight was like a wildly growing ivy, quickly covering the entire house.

Xia Li turned over, covering himself with the quilt.

This old neighborhood, which is usually quiet and deserted, becomes lively only when the Chinese New Year is approaching.

"Brothers, brothers."

"Are you asleep?"

Feeling a cat's paw scratching his face, Xia Li spoke sleepily and vaguely.

"Wake up now."

"Oh, then you can continue to sleep."

Xia Li: “?”

Xia Li sat up and saw the colorfully dyed cow cat sitting on top of his head, staring at him with its eyes.

Wuqi lowered his nose and sniffed Xia Li's head.

"Brother, you smell so good."

"Are you sick?"

Xia Li sat up and looked at the time. It was already noon.

The dragon didn't even get up...

That’s right, I read too late last night, and Lucia probably stayed up late too, so neither of us woke up on time this morning.

"It's only been a few days since we last met, and your family's land is so low now?"

Wuqi leaped up and landed on the coffee table.

He lowered his head to glance at the book on the coffee table. The messy human knowledge on it was not something a little cat like him could understand.

"What, did you have a fight with Long Jie?"

Wuqi looked up at Xia Li again.

He has a busy night life, and having several female cats is more than he can handle, so he rarely appears around here at night.

But in Wuqi's impression, Xia Li should sleep in the same room with his girlfriend.

Why did you sleep on the sofa today?
Could it be that they had an argument and then got kicked out?

If it were an ordinary petite girl, Wuqi would not have such an association.

After all, this home nominally belongs to Xia Li, and it should be the woman who gets angry and leaves during a quarrel.

but……

If it was Sister Long.

That's hard to say.

Brother Xia doesn't need to hold on to the wall when he goes out, which Wuqi admires very much.

"What are you arguing about..."

Xia Li rubbed his frizzy hair and said sleepily.

"I stayed up late reading last night. I read too late and accidentally fell asleep."

"So that's how it is."

Wuqi spoke with regret, and he used his claws to push away the books piled at his feet one by one, with a look of shock on his face.

"You're really working hard... Other college students majoring in veterinary medicine need to spend four years to obtain this certificate. With your speed... how long do you plan to take?"

"About half a year." Xia Li replied immediately.

"Half a year? ?"

He opened his mouth silently.

After all, he was the kind of poor student who went to illegal Internet cafes to surf the Internet in high school. He only felt admiration for the fact that "learning others' four-year major in half a year".

"The next qualification exam is in June, so the fastest time is half a year," Xia Li added.

The biggest advantage of online learning is the flexible time schedule. Unlike full-time universities, daily chores won’t waste a lot of time.

If you focus your energy on the same thing every day, and don't slack off or do things perfunctorily, then success is inevitable - this is the learning experience Xia Li summed up after three years in the other world.

In addition, he now has a junior high school girl who goes to school with him and she cooks and washes clothes for him every day.

This enthusiasm is at its peak.

"You...pervert."

Wuqi struggled for a while, but was at a loss for words. He couldn't find a suitable one, so he could only give a proper compliment.

"By the way," Xia Li was almost awake and remembered the important matter he had wanted to ask Wuqi for the past two days.

"That 'family reunion visa' you mentioned last time..."

"Um? 』

"Do you have any other ideas?"

Wuqi thought for a moment and said, "You can check it online. I also heard the customers in the hospital talking about it.

The client's wife is a foreigner, and they applied for this visa not long after they got married. It is said to be equivalent to a foreigner's ID card in China... I don't know the details, you have to find out for yourself. 』

"I've learned that two things are needed. One is proof of relationship, and the other is foreign identity proof." Xia Li frowned, his tone helpless.

"Comparing the two, foreign ID cards may be a little simpler... In some small countries, you can become a legal citizen by paying money."

"Hmm..." Wuqi listened and nodded, thinking about Xia Li's current situation.

"So, the biggest problem now is lack of money?"

"I really don't have any money." Xia Li said frankly.

"One more thing. First I have to get Lucia abroad..."

"Don't you have magic? Just teleport with magic, whoosh whoosh whoosh."

Wuqi waved his cat fist and imagined boldly.

"That would require too much magic power, and teleportation magic can only teleport to places you've been to before."

Xia Li's words awakened the cat from its dream, and the cat looked at Xia Li in confusion and speechlessness.

"The magic in your world is so useless. The superpowers in our world allow us to choose our destination directly with our thoughts."

"There's nothing we can do about our different worldviews." Xia Li shrugged.

"What should I do?"

Wu Qi thought about it and found that he really couldn't break the situation.

Xia Li's face darkened and he hesitated for a moment.

In fact, he wanted to discuss this matter with Lucia.

But Lucia is a dragon without any opinion of her own. When asked, she would only say "OK, OK" and "I'll listen to Xia Li". She is completely unable to think of the various risks for Xia Li, so he can only come to Wuqi to discuss this matter.

"However, there is a magic scroll that can directly open a two-way portal..."

"Oh! Then we have to go get the magic scroll now!"

Wuqi became a little excited.

Just like playing a game, you accept the task and then go to the designated location to complete it.

"If you want to obtain an identity through legal means, there is only one way..." Xia Li continued.

Wuqi nodded: "Tell me, where should we go to dig for treasure?"

"Go back to Aize Continent."

Wuqi: "? ? "

"After returning, not only can I get various magic props, but also..."

Xia Li's eyes lit up. "We can also take back a large number of magic crystals. The magic power stored in them can allow us to go back again and bring back more things. This is a virtuous cycle."

As he spoke, Xia Li glanced at the demon-killing sword hanging on the wall.

Wuqi took half a step back.

how……

Why did the invincible mode suddenly turn on?

Doesn’t it mean that you have to accept the task first and then submit it?

How come the plug-in went bankrupt directly?
Go back to the magic continent to get something.

This, this has a significant impact on the earth... Why not just use a dimensionality reduction attack?
"Of course, that's all going well."

Xia Li turned his attention back to the book on the table.

If things don't go well, it's better to open the store honestly and run the store with Lucia in an honest manner.

If society cannot accept Lucia, then tell her parents honestly. Now her parents know Lucia, and they like her reaction very much. I believe that even if Xia Li tells them the truth, they will be able to accept it now.

It doesn’t matter if society doesn’t recognize it, as long as parents do.

There is no need to hold a wedding, the family of four can just have a meal and eat hotpot.

Without an identity, Xia Li could not get married, so he would never marry. He was worried that Lucia's health would not allow her to go to the hospital, so he could just not have the child... This would be responsible for both the mother and the child.

The half-human, half-dragon little dragon will never be able to leave his home in his entire life. Instead of that, it would be better for him and Lucia to depend on each other for the rest of their lives.

Xia Li has thought about all these results.

Of course, this is the worst possible outcome.

Now, there is still a clear way to go...

That's what he just said.

Go back to the continent of Aize.

In this way, all problems can be solved.

"Then how are you going to get back?"

"Why do I feel like... your return to the magical world is more difficult than sneaking across? ? "

Wu Qi was puzzled.

"No, it's easier to go back than to smuggle." Xia Li said.

After all, smuggling is against the law, and Xia Li does not intend to go that far.

If anything went wrong, Lucia's situation would not stand up to investigation.

Moreover, the small countries around China cannot obtain identities, and they may even be cheated out of their money.

If you want to go, you can only go to a farther place, which is not only more dangerous, but also has countless variables along the way.

In comparison, the possibility of returning to the continent of Aze is higher.

"Since I can travel through time once, I can travel through time a second time... At least this kind of time travel magic has been proven in practice."

"And it was proven twice."

Go there once and return to Earth once.

If you count the cat in front of you, that's four times. Using magic to teleport to a place you've never been to is not feasible. There is no such magic in the Aize Continent.

But the magic that can teleport to the continent of Aize really does exist.

Somehow, Xia Li could feel the pull from the Demon-Repelling Sword.

It wasn't just his fantasy to want to use magic to locate the continent of Aize.

In the past, Xia Li had no hope for such things, always feeling that magic was too far away from Earth.

But now, they can all collect magic.

What else is impossible?

After changing his way of thinking, Xia Li suddenly became enlightened.

I feel like the days are becoming more and more hopeful.

"All right..."

Wuqi thought about it for a while and felt that Xia Li’s proposal was indeed more feasible.

Compared to taking crooked paths in this strictly regulated society, using magic is obviously more scientific.

"At least now I have a goal, which is a good thing."

"I'll give you the golden bell. It's more useful to you than to me."

Wuqi jumped off the coffee table and slowly went to his own bowl to eat and drink.

I haven't been back for a few days and ate a lot of garbage outside. Now I miss cat food a little bit.

Wuqi was muttering to himself as he ate his meal.

"But no matter what, money is needed first...so it's not wrong for you to learn this."

"Even though I am a cat now, I still think like a human. I can still understand the importance of 'money' in human society..."

"It's one thing to let Long Jie live a good life. You will also need it when you buy a foreign identity in the future."

"Speaking of which, I heard that in some places in Ouzhou, you can even buy a title with money. Why don't you try buying one too?"

Wuqi looked fascinated.

Xia Li waved his hand: "Don't bring up that. Let's wait until I get the qualification certificate and the first start-up capital."

Talking to Wuqi for so long actually made him feel a lot better.

I feel more motivated to learn.

I'm a little hungry.

It would be nice if I could drink some loving hot porridge from my girlfriend at this time.

However, the hardworking little dragon is still sleeping now, so he is probably the only one who has to do the cooking.

Xia Li added another spoonful of cat food to Wuqi, and brought a cat strip, Cotton and Wuqi each got half.

Then he went to the kitchen and tied an apron on himself.

Every time Wuqi saw the pink mini apron hanging on Xia Li, he felt funny.

"What delicious food are you going to make today?"

Wuqi licked his nose and walked over to take a look.

As usual, when Xia Li cooks, he can have a bite.

"Do you want to eat stewed pork ribs?"

Xia Li took out a steak from the refrigerator.

I bought this at the supermarket two days ago. I asked the lady to chop the steak into pieces. Now I can just wash and blanch it to remove the fishy smell and start stewing it directly. It's very convenient.

"Eat, eat, eat. Give me two pieces and I'll give one to Cuihua too."

"Okay..." Xia Li washed the ribs and looked at him again.

After thinking for a while, I decided to ask: "Did you soak it?"

"I got it."

Wuqi nodded and raised his cat paw to count.

"Three."

Xia Li: “…”

He can't even handle one, how can this cat with its eggs broken handle three?

"Can you do it?"

"Who are you looking down on?"

Wash the ribs until they are almost clean, then cut two pieces of ginger and some green onion, put them into a pot with cold water, pour in cooking wine and turn on the fire to cook.

While waiting for the water to boil, Xia Li turned around and asked the cat on the ground.

"I've always been curious about your mentality...Do you like human girls more, or cats more?"

"I can do anything."

"Have you ever thought about changing back?" Xia Li asked again.

"This...is impossible."

"I've been a cat for more than 20 years and I'm used to it. If I change back... I'll have neither an identity nor relatives."

"Lucia doesn't have an identity either. Isn't she working hard to get one now? I'll get one for you when the time comes."

Xia Li could see the loneliness in the cat's eyes.

Xia Li was all too familiar with this kind of hypocrisy.

Isn't it just the same as myself in the past?
"Why bother? It's better to be a cat and have more fun."

Wuqi raised his paw, took a look, then slowly put it down.

It's not that he hasn't thought about it.

Mainly... I can't face it.

He couldn't even face the fact that he was alone, let alone going home to take another look. How could he dare to change back?

Besides, it's impossible.

He didn't even know why he turned into a cat.

Xia Li at least knew how he traveled through time, he was summoned by a summoning magic. But Wu Qi himself traveled through time inexplicably, and then inexplicably turned into a cat, he had no clue at all.

"You can try it."

Xia Li suddenly thought of a possibility.

"If your transformation into a cat is a magic, and you continue in this magical state..."

Coming to the side of the Demon-Repelling Sword, Xia Li grabbed it.

Following a sharp metal friction sound, he slowly pulled out the Demon-Exorcist Sword, revealing a dark blue sword body.

"My sword is called 'Demon-Removing Sword'. It can remove all magic."

"Come here, I'll give you a sword."

The faint blue light mixed with the sunlight refracted from the floor, shining together on Xia Li's chiseled profile, making his expression appear unpredictable.

Wuqi felt like his cat hair was about to explode. He forced himself to swallow a mouthful of saliva and retreated repeatedly.

"Wait, don't do that, I'm not ready yet..."

Xia Li took two steps forward.

“You are ultimately a modern man.

People always have to face these things... To put it bluntly, it's about dealing with the aftermath. Even if your parents are gone, your loved ones are still here. Escaping will only make your obsession deeper, and all that's left is regret."

Xia Li brought this up just to force Wuqi.

If you know you are going to regret it from the beginning, it is better to regret it sooner.

There is still room for regret now, Wuqi is not very old, and his parents may just be old.

But if you wait a few more decades, you will really miss it.

Just like him and Lucia.

If he had escaped or hesitated for a moment instead of choosing to risk his life to be with Lucia.

It will be a completely different ending.

Even if Wuqi couldn't use the Demon-Exorcising Sword to change back, he couldn't escape the concern he had as a human being.

To fight off the devil, you are not only fighting off the curse of transformation, but also your own inner demons.

"But...wait, wait, wait."

“Meowa ...

Wuqi had a look of fear on his face and screamed continuously.

"Don't do this kind of thing!"

Just when his back was against the wall and he had nowhere to retreat.

Suddenly the cat's ears moved and it heard the sound of footsteps.

Then, with a creaky sound, the door of the room opened.

Lucia was wearing a green dinosaur pajamas, and the dark green dinosaur made her already fair face look even whiter.

She held a large sheep in her arms, rubbing her eyes and whispering softly.

"Xia Li, what time is it now..."

"Meow meow!!!"

"No wonder?"

When she opened her eyes, Lucia saw the cow cat pressed against the wall, looking at her for help.

When she raised her pretty face again, Lucia saw Xia Li holding the unsheathed Demon-Exorcist Sword, ready to draw the sword.

Xia Li's eyes were sharp, and the way he held the sword made Long's heart pound.

What a dangerous move!
If it were on the continent of Aize, Lucia would have run away immediately after seeing Xia Li like this!
"Xia Li, you...you want to kill the cat?"

"Meow meow!"

"Yes, he wants to kill the cat!"

"Sister Long, save me!!!"

"This... no no, this is not good."

Lucia overcame her fear of the Demon-Exorcist Sword. She walked over tremblingly and pressed down Xia Li's hand holding the sword.

"Blood, blood, blood will be all over the ground..." the dragon stuttered.

"Meow!"

"That's right! !"

"Sister Long, there are still many good dragons in the world!"

"Alright, let me do it."

Lucia rolled up her sleeves. She had a move that could kill people instantly without drawing blood.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get a knife from the kitchen..."

After saying that, the evil dragon turned and left.

Wuqi was left in shock, unable to react for a long time.
