My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 237: Becoming an adult means doing adult things

Qin Chuan always mentions the words "fate" and "cause and effect".

He said Xia Li changed his destiny.

Little do people know that the so-called "theory of cause and effect" influences each other.

When Xia Li changed his destiny, the trajectory of Xia Li's own destiny also changed.

He and Lucia accidentally traveled to the past of Aize Continent...

This may just be another accident.

However, in Xia Li's view, any accident is destined.

Night falls.

Unknown birds and beasts circled in the sky, and their hoarse and sad cries accompanied by the dull bells in the tower echoed over the town.

Xia Li found a hotel to stay in.

Although Ms. Fang had prepared a full set of camping equipment for them before they set off, Xia Li would naturally prefer to stay in the house if they had the conditions to live in it.

For Xia Li now, the thing he has the most is money.

Not only could he stay in the best hotel in the entire human town, he could even choose the most expensive one.

The last time he came to the continent of Aize, Xia Li was just a hero with an empty title but no salary at all. In order to improve his living standards, he hunted many monsters and miscellaneous dragons, and then sold the dissected materials on the black market.

I had been cheated so many times in the past that I gradually transformed from a novice into a veteran in the black market.

This time, relying on the information gap of goods brought from the earth, those self-righteous wealthy businessmen were fooled.

Unfortunately, the camping equipment that Ms. Fang prepared for them was limited.

After Xia Li "sold" his lighter and flashlight, he didn't have much left to sell.

He is not willing to sell clothes, pants, backpacks and other things that can be worn on the body.

In the end, I could only trade some of Lucia's snacks.

What cookies, jelly and big potato chips.

These were snacks that Fang Xia prepared for Lucia on the road, but they were exchanged for gold coins by Xia Li.

Lucia felt sad that her cookies were snatched away by the brave man, but at the same time she couldn't stop smiling as she looked at her increasingly fatter wallet.

"hey-hey……"

"Hey hey hey..."

The weight of this bag of gold coins is amazing.

It was the kind that even her arm strength felt strained!

If you spread these gold coins flat on your bed, you will definitely have a good sleep tonight.

If it is laid in the nest...

Just hearing the clattering sound of gold coins can make the dragon happy. Under such favorable conditions, it will surely lay a smooth and beautiful big white egg!
Thinking of this, Lucia blushed and wrapped the bag of gold coins into her coat.

As if this was not safe enough, she stuffed the bag of gold coins into Xia Li's hiking bag and placed some dry food outside as a cover.

At the same time, Xia Li just came out of the small cubicle.

The supporting facilities in the towns of this world are very backward. If you want to take a hot bath, you need to heat it yourself with the magic stone. Sometimes the strength of water magic and fire magic is not well controlled, and it is common for the boiling hot water to burn people's skin.

Xia Li didn't want to bother, so he just poured himself two buckets of cold water and came out.

He was shirtless and only had on a pair of shorts.

He hung a pure cotton towel from Earth on his shoulders, and the outline of his abdomen exposed to the air was quite linear.

Without any clothes to cover it, Lucia's eyes widened at the muscular lines that were revealed.

"..."

"Never seen it before? Why are you staring at me so closely?"

Xia Li glanced at Lucia, walked over nonchalantly, and sat on the soft big bed.

Summer is coming to Qingcheng City soon.

It's impossible for him to walk around the house in his clothes every day in such hot weather.

We are an old married couple, so we should get used to it.

"...I, I'll go and rush over."

Lucia was quite nervous.

Even on Earth, it is normal for human males to be shirtless... But when she saw Xia Li in this state, she couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster.

This, this, is probably the heart-pounding feeling that those young nurses talked about?

It's all Xia Li's fault for taking off her clothes for no reason. It's not even hot now...

See if she doesn't strip herself naked and let Xia Li experience this weird feeling of tension too!
Lucia muttered and went to the cubicle.

When she came out, she wrapped herself tightly in a bath towel.

"Why are you wearing so many clothes?"

Xia Li couldn't help laughing when he saw the dragon had three layers of skin inside and outside.

"This isn't my home... I don't feel safe without wearing more clothes!"

"You're a dragon, so just wear one just for your own good intentions."

"No, I want to wear three!"

Lucia muttered to herself as she climbed onto Xia Li's bed with her tail hooked.

Talk about it.

This was their first 'open house'.

During the time Lucia was on Earth, she slept at home every night.

Even though Xia Li joked about staying with her at Home Inn for a night, he still took her back in the end.

Lucia was hiding in the quilt, thinking secretly, and she felt Xia Li outside putting the soft big sheep into the quilt, so she quickly stretched out her little hands and hugged it.

This sheep doll has also made great progress.

He actually traveled back to the continent of Aize with her.

It will definitely be very dirty when you get back, so you must use a washing machine to clean it thoroughly.

With her ears pricked up, Lucia eavesdropped on Xia Li's movements.

He walked to the bedside, turned off the magic lamp, closed the window, and then turned over and lay down on the bed.

Because the room they booked was the most luxurious king-size bed room, the two had no choice but to sleep together.

Lucia's dragon tail had already stretched out horizontally, as if drawing a clear line between her and Xia Li, blocking the two of them.

Suddenly I felt Xia Li grabbing the tip of my tail.

Xia Li was moving her tail, as if to make more room for herself.

"Your tail is blocking me."

"Whoa whoa."

Lucia quickly tucked her tail in and wrapped it around her legs.

There was silence for a moment, and Xia Li suddenly spoke while staring at the unfamiliar ceiling.

“I’ve actually been wanting to ask a question.”

"You ask……"

Lucia was so nervous that she even pulled her calves in.

"Why did you not change your human form after returning here? Before, you didn't have enough magic power, so you could only maintain the appearance of a childish... immature girl. Now you have enough magic power, so you can change freely, right?"

Xia Li's question was met with a brief silence.

Lucia finally popped her head out of the bed and said angrily:
"…You really like big ones!"

"I didn't say that!"

"Then why do you sound so regretful?"

"It's not a pity, I'm just curious..." Xia Li said puzzledly.

"Don't you dragons like to disguise yourselves with your outward appearance? Now that you've returned to the Aize Continent, why are you willing to pretend to be a little girl when interacting with humans?"

To this day, Xia Li still remembers Lucia, who was heroic, tall and graceful, and had those domineering eyes.

No wonder humans call her the 'Silver Dragon Queen'.

That arrogant look confuses everyone who sees it.

Xia Li felt confused just thinking about it.

The fragrance is confusing.

"…There's no reason, I just got used to it!" Lucia turned over and wrapped herself in the quilt.

"It's not good to change your size randomly. You cheated people today... and traded so many small amounts of money. Many people in the city must have been impressed by us. If they see that my appearance has changed, they will definitely think that I am from the demon clan or the dragon clan. This will cause so much trouble!"

Lucia explained a lot in detail.

This was said to Xia Li, but also to myself.

She is making excuses for herself.

Actually, I just don’t dare…

When you become an adult, you have to do adult things.

Lucia hasn’t figured out how to deal with Xia Li yet... No, she should be mentally prepared for how to deal with Xia Li.

Xia Li listened quietly and didn't ask any more questions.

Xiao Longlong has his own concerns, and his concerns are very simple...

Tomorrow I have to find a caravan carriage, then follow the carriage all the way north and sneak into the main city of the Lyon Empire.

Today I heard from those businessmen that the main city of the Lyon Empire, the capital, is not far from Tarot City where they are now.

However, the rebel activities have been frequent recently, and the inspection in the royal capital is very strict. If you want to enter the city smoothly, you not only need to go through the corresponding procedures, but also need someone to introduce you.

Therefore, blending into the caravan is the quickest shortcut for Xia Li.

A place like the royal capital must have the two-way teleportation scroll that Xia Li wants, as well as enough magic crystals that store magic power.

These two things are the main purpose of Xia Li's trip.

He didn't want to continue exploiting Qin Chuan. Since he had come back once, he must be well prepared when he returns to Earth again.

He planned to bring back a large amount of magic crystals so that when Lucia needed to use magic power on Earth in the future, she would be self-sufficient.

Thinking of this, Xia Li looked at the ceiling drowsily.

This is how men think most of the time. They get things done rationally and quickly.

But Lucia's situation is completely different.

She kept jumping between the thoughts of 'Is Xia Li very excited' and 'Xia Li will definitely not be honest tonight', and finally glanced at Xia Li uncertainly.

As a result, Xia Li closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Lucia: “…”

Is that all her charm?!

The two of them were out there, and it was their first time checking into a hotel room!

Xia Li fell asleep in such a sweet and fragrant way? !

Lucia raised her head and looked at Xia Li's sleeping face angrily.

An unfamiliar environment always gives people an inexplicable sense of excitement, but the familiar people in front of them will dilute this sense of excitement, and the uneasy mood will gradually calm down.

Lucia quietly crawled over, and chose to throw away the sheep doll, and hugged Xia Li gently.

We have clearly returned to the continent of Aize.

But Lucia didn't really feel anything.

It's like just an ordinary trip.

Maybe it’s because only the environment has changed, but the people around me haven’t changed.

There is no nightlife in the human towns of this world.

As the sun faded, no one was seen on the streets anymore.

A cool breeze blew into the room. Lucia felt a slight chill and pulled the quilt over herself.

After thinking about it, he covered Xia Li again.

No matter what, the belly button must be covered, otherwise you will have diarrhea - this is the common sense that Aunt Fang taught her.

Lucia has a bit of insomnia.

The girl's brown eyes reflected the starry sky, and she stared outside blankly, somewhat absent-minded.

Xia Li said... they traveled to the past.

Lucia didn't understand so much logic and principles, but there was one thing she was sure of.

Such a time travel must have its meaning.

In about fifty years, Xia Li will be summoned to this world, draw the Demon-Exorcising Sword, and become a hero of mankind.

Later, during a certain crusade, he met her for the 'first time' as a silver dragon.

For them now, this matter is just the "future" that is about to happen.

Lucia knew that she could not change this future, otherwise she would most likely not be able to meet Xia Li.

They were unable to meet, let alone get to know each other and fall in love.

Maybe Xia Li went home after completing her mission, or maybe she was really killed in a dragon-slaying expedition.

This future cannot happen.

Therefore, neither she nor Xia Li should do anything to change the future.

But there is one thing Lucia wants to change.

Feeling somewhat lonely, I rolled around on the bed.

Lucia stretched herself out of the bed, took out her small bag, and then took out a small rectangular box from the innermost part of the bag.

mobile phone!

The greatest invention on earth!
Although there is no signal here, my phone still has 50% battery!

Lucia couldn’t access the internet, nor could she watch short videos or play mobile games.

She looked around and suddenly covered her chest with her hands, looking very sad.

It’s over.

I have withdrawal symptoms from electronic products!

If I don’t touch my phone for just one day, it feels like ants are crawling on my body.

Even Xia Li said that it might take some time to go back.

Tonic!
I want to go back online now!
After tomorrow, my phone’s battery will be completely empty, and I won’t even be able to see the screen!

What Xia Li, who was sleeping soundly, didn't know was that this evil dragon was actually addicted to the Internet in the middle of the night.

If Xia Li woke up at this time, he would definitely laugh at this evil dragon.

After Lucia confirmed that the games she downloaded required an internet connection to play, she closed all the software with a sad face.

She finally opened the photo album on her phone.

Lucia doesn't like taking selfies or taking photos of scenery.

In her phone, apart from the ugly photos of Xiaomianhua, there were only photos of Xia Li.

"hey-hey……"

Lucia stared at the picture of the amusement park roller coaster and laughed.

In the photo, Xia Li's hair was blown up, revealing her flat forehead, which was rare.

Because of the fright, his handsome and heroic face turned pale, and his hands were tightly grasping the railing in front of the roller coaster.

Hehehe...the brave man’s first dark history!
When I get home, I’ll frame it and keep it together with this pile of small gold coins as a treasure!
He would tell it to Xia Li every few decades. It must be very funny to see him getting so angry and frustrated!
Oh... by the way, decades is too long for humans.

Every few months, then.

Lucia's tail lifted up and then drooped down weakly.

The corners of her mouth that were pursed in a smile just now stiffened for a few seconds. She smiled sweetly again, turned over with a soft body, and hugged Xia Li who was sleeping.

"Xia Li Xia Li..."

Lucia's voice was very soft, and she squirmed like a pig worm in Xia Li's arms.

"Go to sleep..."

Xia Li really couldn't open her eyes. She half-huggled the evil dragon's waist and muttered in her sleep.

"I like you very much!"

Lucia propped herself up and gave Xia Li a wet kiss on the cheek.

Xia Li had a dream.

In the dream, my hands and feet were grabbed by something and my whole body was buried in the soil.

He felt like a cabbage in the field. A huge silver dragon appeared in front of him. The silver dragon stretched out its face and just pushed him up.
