My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 230 Magic Power MAX
After the exam, Xia Li submitted his answer sheet and hurried home.

It was exactly half past six when I got home, and Lucia wasn't home yet.

Xia Li sent her a message, waited for a while and saw no one replied, so he sent the message to Wuqi.

Wuqi responded within a few minutes.

The hospital is holding a quarterly summary meeting today, so Lucia will probably be back a little later.

Xia Li pondered for a while, and between choosing between picking up Lucia in person and cooking dinner, he chose the latter.

The exam is over today, and Xia Li has achieved his recent goal. As compensation for having devoted himself to study and not taking good care of Lucia's feelings in the past period of time, Xia Li decided to spend more time on this dragon from now on.

It's nice to cook occasionally.

Otherwise, my stomach would really become the shape of Lucia.

"Bang bang."

While squatting on the ground peeling potatoes, Xia Li heard a knock on the door.

He immediately took the half-peeled potato and went to the living room to open the door.

"Here it comes, whose kid is it..."

Xia Li was reciting with a smile on his face when he opened the door and saw a man in a black hoodie. He was stunned for a moment.

"Little cutie or little baby?" Qin Chuan asked curiously.

"..."

The smile on Xia Li's face froze.

"You've arrived just in time," he stuffed a pair of shoe covers into Qin Chuan's hands.

"I just need a handyman. Please help me peel the potatoes while I stir-fry the meat."

Qin Chuan did not refuse. He took the potatoes and went into the house with Xia Li.

When he first came, he was a little reserved, but now he has come several times and doesn't even need Xia Li to ask him to do so. He dragged the trash can over with ease and grabbed the peeler to carefully peel the potatoes.

After peeling the skin, I turned around and saw Xia Li rolling around with a spatula.

"Is there anything else to do?"

"Please help me cut the green pepper into shreds, and beat the eggs and steam them." Xia Li said without any politeness.

Anyway, Qin Chuan is an experienced chef, so if he helps me, I can get twice the result with half the effort.

"Stay for dinner," he said finally.

Qin Chuan nodded happily in agreement.

When he had almost finished the work in his hands, Xia Li asked him to sit in the living room.

Qin Chuan was a little restless. When he saw the indigo sword that Xia Li casually placed on the edge of the balcony, he felt itchy.

I was originally "violently beaten" by this sword.

According to Xia Li, the ability of this sword is to repel magic, and it can bounce back all magical power.

Powerful is very powerful.

But in Qin Chuan's opinion, the ability to protect oneself is a little worse.

If they were in a world full of demons and beasts, just exorcising demons would not be enough to survive.

"Let me study your sword." He said to Xia Li in the living room.

Xia Li replied generously: "Just research it casually."

Qin Chuan tried to lift the sword in his hand and pull it out.

Qin Chuan was first shocked by the unexpectedly heavy feel of the sword, and then he found that he could not pull the sword out with his own strength.

He quickly realized that this kind of artifact also had the ability to recognize its master.

"Actually, I've always been curious..."

Arriving at the kitchen door, Qin Chuan grabbed the sword with one hand. The sword weighing more than twenty pounds made the muscles in his arm stand out.

"How many ways does your sword have?"

"..."

Xia Li put the stir-fried green pepper and potato shreds into a plate and started to turn down the wind speed of the range hood by two levels.

"You're still struggling with this kind of thing?"

"Yes."

Qin Chuan sighed helplessly.

When he was beaten by this sword, he was thinking, if Xia Li is about to reach the limit of his own power... then if he holds on for a while longer, will he be able to withstand it?
This feeling of unwillingness is like playing a card drawing game.

I always feel that my next shot will hit the target and draw gold.

"I can't tell you that." Xia Li kept it a secret.

Then, considering how to make Qin Chuan more convinced, he added.

“But it’s still a long way off.”

"Okay..." Qin Chuan had no choice but to nod.

He didn't mean for the outcome of that battle to change.

If he changed, his current life would definitely get worse.

It's just that as a brave man, he has a desire to win.

In his original world, he had the ability to restart infinitely, which was actually a kind of pseudo-invincibility. Now a brave man who is better than him suddenly appears, so he is very conflicted.

"Bang bang~"

While they were chatting, there was a knock on the door again. Xia Li put down the plate and turned around to open the door without saying a word.

"Here it comes, whose kid is it..."

"Meow?"

"It's another kitten."

Damn it, it’s a double, right?

Wuqi was squatting at the door, and he walked in as soon as Xia Li opened the door.

He hadn't walked through the main entrance for a long time. In the past, he always walked through the balcony.

He walked in with his tail held high, and Wuqi chased Mianhua for two laps.

Xia Li took a look at the two cats playing around and thought something was wrong.

How could this cat's claw possibly knock on the door?

"Hee hee~"

Just as I was wondering, the petite figure hiding behind the door suddenly appeared.

Lucia poked her head out playfully with her hands behind her back. When Xia Li walked over and tried to pull her, she turned sideways to avoid him.

“Guess what I bought?”

The evil dragon curved his beautiful almond eyes and a sweet smile bloomed on his face.

Xia Li did not disappoint by asking "What is it?" immediately, but actually started to guess.

"... Could it be that it is!"

"Yes?"

"Could it be?!"

"yes…?"

During the struggle, Xia Li took two deep breaths.

I didn't smell anything, so I couldn't even cheat.

"I can't guess." He said frankly.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang~"

Lucia held an eight-inch cake in her hands in front of Xia Li.

This time it’s not one of those little cakes that you buy on the spur of the moment.

Today's cake was ordered by Lucia early in the morning when she got to work.

She carefully selected the cake base, the filling fruit, and the decorations on top.

Lucia's monthly salary is all in her WeChat. She has more than 3,000 yuan in her WeChat wallet, so it is no problem for her to buy a cake for more than 200 yuan.

"Okay, no wonder you came home so late, it turns out you weren't at a meeting... You actually colluded with me and lied to me."

Xia Li complained, but with a slight smile on her face, she led the evil dragon home.

"This time we're celebrating the end of your exams! The cake shop owner said that you can light candles even if it's not your birthday!"

Lucia quickly went to the refrigerator to get some bottles and jars, and then stuffed the cake in them.

It's been hot these days, and it will definitely melt if it's not kept in the refrigerator.

"I've received your birthday cake twice."

Xia Li went to the kitchen to serve the dishes, and Lucia cooperated with him tacitly to serve bowls of rice.

Wuqi was also eating at home today, so she took a cat bowl and filled it with rice for Wuqi.

Wuqi raised his head and meowed, as if to say thank you.

"When will you have a birthday too?"

Before picking up his chopsticks, Xia Li asked.

Lucia paused. She had never thought that she had a birthday.

"I don't know when my birthday is... Besides, dragons are different from humans. They don't need to celebrate birthdays."

"This is different. You are now a member of this society. Birthdays are a very important social point in human relationships, so you still need to remember them...

Think about it, when you celebrate your birthday and invite three or two friends to have fun together for a day, don’t you feel that every year in your life has something to look forward to? "

Xia Li said this and took out his cell phone to open the records.

"You wait."

He opened the payment history on his mobile phone and began to scroll through it quickly.

He remembered that Lucia came to Earth at the end of September last year.

During that period, Xia Li did not go to convenience stores very often, and there were only a few records that matched the names of the payment merchants.

Soon, he locked onto a string of numbers.

Forty-eight dollars and fifty cents.

That day, he used forty-eight dollars and fifty cents to lure the dragon back. Then he clicked on the detailed interface to see the date...

"September 23rd of last year was the day of the autumnal equinox. That was the day you came to Earth, and also the day of your 'rebirth'... Is it okay to regard it as your birthday?"

Upon hearing this, Lucia took a chopstick in her mouth and bit it.

It's that simple?
She, a dragon, also has a birthday?
Lucia, who never kept track of the calendar, remembered this day very well.

“What can I get for my birthday?”

Her interest grew quickly and she even started looking forward to it.

"That must be a big gift." Xia Li smiled mysteriously.

On his birthday, cream was smeared on him.

Now it's reasonable to let Lucia have a taste of being creamed.

"Okay, okay, let's eat."

Xia Li went to the kitchen and brought out the stewed steaks, and the three people and the cat all started eating.

……

The meal was simple, just an ordinary dinner that was a little bit more substantial.

After eating and cleaning up the table, Xia Li took out the cake and said he might as well cut it.

Since it’s not a birthday at all, you can skip the step of lighting candles.

But Lucia didn't want to. This candle was the small firework style that she specially picked out. It would be a waste if Xia Li didn't light it.

Besides...she also wanted to try her hand at using fire magic.

Xia Li nodded in agreement, then she stretched out three fingers and snapped them.

Sparks flew from her fingers and quickly lit the candle.

The long candle tube emitted brilliant golden flames, which looked like a sky full of stars in the dark living room.

"Make a wish."

"I promise?"

Xia Li took the initiative to give up his C position and put the paper hat on Lucia's head.

Lucia held the paper hat and looked up at Xia Li, then looked down at the smoking candle.

It will be too late if you don’t make a wish now!
"My wish is... Xia Li passes the exam successfully!"

"Don't say it out loud, it won't work if you say it out loud."

"Whoa whoa……"

Lucia closed her eyes.

This time I made a serious wish.

However, when the desire speaks from the bottom of the heart, it speaks for change.

My wish is...

Stay with Xia Li forever!
"Whoo~"

Although this type of firework-style candle does not require a blow-out step, Lucia still followed the process and blew it out.

Xia Li went to turn on the light, and she started cutting the cake with a plastic knife.

Although she has been a cook for such a long time, her knife skills have improved a lot.

However, when she cut the cake for Qin Chuan and Wuqi, she only cut small pieces, but when she cut the cake for Xia Li, she wanted to hollow out the rest and give it to him.

As a result, Xia Li was turned upside down by the cake.

"Meow meow meow……"

After eating, Wuqi sat on the sofa for a while and began to tell Xia Li what happened to Lucia today.

She sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, standing up and walking around from time to time, looking into the distance from time to time...her movements really looked like her husband waiting outside the delivery room.

Xia Li felt that there was something wrong with what Wuqi said.

This cat is so bad at using metaphors.

She is clearly a girlfriend waiting for her boyfriend outside the college entrance examination school gate, okay? ?
"What is he saying?"

Lucia felt like someone was saying bad things about her, but she didn't understand the language.

Xia Li smiled and said, "He said that you were very worried about me today and you were so anxious that you kept spinning in circles."

"..."

After hearing this, Lucia lowered her head shyly.

Where can I get it?
Just a little worried.

Later she was busy with other things to divert her attention.

Lucia has great confidence in Xia Li, so she is not anxious about such things.

"How long will it take you to get the certificate?" Qin Chuan interrupted.

"About a month or so. The details will depend on the notification."

Xia Li changed to a more comfortable leaning position and answered in a relaxed tone.

Before the exam started, I felt uncomfortable everywhere, my neck hurt, my eyes were sore, and I felt dizzy.

As soon as the exam was over, all my problems were gone.

The pressure on my shoulders quietly relaxed, as if I had been reborn.

"More than a month, so there's still some time left..."

"Yeah, I plan to take a break for a while."

"...No more chapters?"

Qin Chuan took a detour and looked at Xia Li in some confusion.

Xia Li sat up straight, smiling:
"No, are you really urging me to update offline?"

"Haha, just a joke." Qin Chuan waved his hands with a smile.

He is very busy with work every day and doesn't have much time to go online. His greatest pleasure at the moment is to be an avid fan and post crazily in Xia Li's comment section and act as an active reader.

So if Xia Li updates more often, he will have more time to relax every day.

"I'm ready to go back. I'll give you the magic."

It was getting late, and Qin Chuan prepared to retreat.

Before leaving, he had to complete today's task.

Xia Li skillfully placed his hand on the heart of stone, then drew the magic power inside and converted it with the Demon-Repelling Sword.

Lucia felt that her strength had recovered a lot.

A silver dragon tail that was stronger and fatter than before appeared and swung.

Well, it’s gotten stronger!
"You can already transform into a dragon horn by now, right?"

Xia Li rubbed Lucia's little hands.

The dragon's claws are warm.

After having magic power, Lucia and the spirit are obviously more active than before.

But there is one thing that Xia Li has always been puzzled about.

Obviously, when she used Wuqi's little magic power before, she could grow a little taller.

How come her height hasn't changed at all even though her magic power has recovered so much?
There's absolutely no sign of it continuing to grow.

Xia Li wasn't sure whether Lucia could only be like this or whether she was deliberately suppressing her body shape.

Now that she's recovered so much magic power without revealing her horns, it's most likely the latter.

"You can..." Lucia did not hide it from Xia Li, "but it is not necessary."

"Why is it not necessary?" Xia Li asked back.

Lucia was silent for a moment and then said, "Then, choose between the dragon's tail and the dragon's horn."

"What a cruel option..."

Xia Li hesitated for a moment.

This kind of question is comparable to the kind of question about falling into the water that girls like to ask.

But Lucia would not ask such a stupid question. She would only let Xia Li choose between the dragon horn and the dragon tail.

"I'm an adult, of course I want them all!" Xia Li said as a matter of course.

"Hehe~ There is no such option."

Lucia ignored his protests and changed the channel with the remote control, and the tail of the dragon swept across Xia Li's thigh from time to time.

"I'm going back."

Qin Chuan stood up and stopped eating dog food.

Seeing this, Wuqi decided not to continue playing with Mianhua and left with Qin Chuan very tactfully.

Xia Li got up to see him off.

Qin Chuan came to the door and looked towards the kitchen with some concern.

There, was the demon-killing sword he had just taken from the balcony.

After discussing it with Xia Li, the sword was casually leaned against the refrigerator.

At this time, the Demon-Exorcising Sword had long lost the white light that Qin Chuan had when he first saw it, and instead emitted the same faint blue light as the sword body.

"I just discovered a problem." Qin Chuan said.

"what is the problem?"

"This sword of yours..."

He organized his words and said.

"There's magic in it."

"Sealing magic has always existed."

Xia Li didn't think there was anything wrong with it and took the initiative to help him open the door.

Qin Chuan stood at the door and said thoughtfully.

"I think it's a kind of space magic."
