My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 241 Pure Blood, Silver Dragon, Baby Dragon
Just as the sky was getting light, the horse-drawn caravan set off again.

A hundred carriages started at the same time, the wheels turned, raising clouds of dust.

The silence of the forest was broken, the birds in the forest spread their wings and flew away, and the small animals foraging on the steep slopes were frightened and fled in all directions.

In the carriage, Lucia lay on the board motionless.

She lifted up her clothes to reveal her white belly. Her long and strong dragon tail extended from her side, beating the ground from time to time.

The girl's soft body was like a boat drifting with the current, swaying from side to side with the shaking of the carriage, "Ahhh~."

Xia Li sat on a long row of wooden chairs, holding the Demon-Exorcising Sword, dozing off with his arms crossed over his chest.

Today is the second day...

Riding in a horse-drawn carriage for a 'honeymoon' is not a very comfortable way to go.

Originally, Xia Li thought it would be at least similar to a ship, stopping and starting, and at least the scenery would be great.

but now……

Not to mention Lucia feeling bored, even Xia Li himself could hardly sit still.

Maybe he could try another way to get into the city?
Xia Li lowered his head and thought, pressing his fingertips on the patterns on the hilt of the Demon-Exorcising Sword and stroking them gently.

Every time he rubbed it hard, the Demon-Exorcising Sword would flash with a faint blue luster.

After returning to the continent of Aze, not only the dragon Lucia was eager to try, but also the demon-repelling sword that Xia Li had left on the balcony to be blown by the wind for half a year.

Speaking of which, Lucia is now in her prime.

Judging from the strength of her magic, if she wants to enter the royal capital, she will have to use force, even if she can't do it by soft means.

If all else fails, stop a noble's carriage on the road and rob it... or borrow some magic props.

Didn’t this dragon love to do this kind of thing before?

Otherwise, let her do something bad.

Xia Li is now a brave and tolerant man who can sometimes choose to be blind.

"Ok?"

Just as Xia Li was distracted by the thoughts and thinking about other ways to deal with the situation.

The wheels of the carriage gradually slowed down and came to a complete stop.

It had only been two hours since the horses had been fed grass.

The weather is fine today and we shouldn't have to do so much repairs.

Could it be that some kind of miscellaneous-scaled dragon monster or something like that is blocking the road?

Xia Li lifted the curtain and looked out curiously.

In the middle of the mountain path, he saw a group of neatly dressed men.

The old driver on crutches took off his hat, put on a kind smile, and talked to the group of people.

The group of people were wearing light armor with red and white patterns, and metal helmets on their heads.

They held dark red spears, with a lion pattern branded on the armor in the center of their chests and a sunflower engraved on their backs.

But judging from their uniform attire, these people are well-trained regular troops.

'Lion' and 'Sunflower'...

Xia Li quickly thought of the common currency of the Lyon Empire.

This group of people should be the army of the Lyon Empire.

From the old driver's flattering expression, it can be seen that the status of this army is not low.

Maybe they are the royal guards.

"Damn it, it's them again. Luckily, they only brought livestock and no vegetables or fruits this time, otherwise we would have suffered a huge loss again..."

The old driver's negotiations did not go well. He came back wearing a fur hat, with a sad face and cursing.

"what happened?"

Xia Li called out to him.

The old driver stopped and found that the person who was talking was the rich man in the first car. The impatient expression on his face subsided a little and he smiled.

"The elite knights of the capital... they said they found valuable prey in the canyon ahead, and their people are hunting in it, so they asked us not to get too close and disturb the prey."

After hearing what the old driver said, Xia Li thought for a moment and asked again.

"What prey?"

"I'm sorry, we don't know what the prey is...but from what the knight captain said, it seems to be a dragon."

The old driver paused for a moment, thinking that this was not a secret that should not be told, so he lowered his voice and continued.

"The dragon that they value so much...I guess it is very likely to be a pure-blooded dragon."

"A pure-blooded dragon?"

Lucia also poked her head out of the window.

After overhearing this, she was no longer sleepy.

Not to mention that Xia Li had never seen a pure-blooded dragon in his life.

Even Lucia, a dragon who has lived in the continent of Aize for more than a hundred years, has not seen many pure-blooded dragons of her own.

The reproductive capacity of pure-blooded dragons is very weak.

The purer the bloodline, the stronger the ability... and the more powerful the dragon is, the less willing it is to reproduce the next generation.

The breeding process consumes a lot of energy and physical strength for both female and male dragons.

In addition, dragons are inherently slow and inert in their emotions. Unless they really meet a fellow dragon that they like, few pure-blooded dragons are willing to sacrifice their time to lay eggs.

But there are many races that covet the powerful abilities of the dragon clan.

Not only humans, but even some demons with the ability to think, they all want to strengthen their next generation, so they will try their best to complete a mating with the dragon clan.

After the match is completed, the next generation will continue to match...

Therefore, strange and bizarre mixed-scale bloodlines appeared.

As time went by, the dragon bloodline became further diluted.

Right now, Lucia estimated that there were no more than twenty pure-blooded dragons left in the continent of Azer.

"A pure-blood dragon is so powerful, can those elite knights defeat it?"

Lucia asked in a tone of watching a show.

She doesn't think highly of those humans.

Even with enchanted weapons in hand, it is still difficult to defeat a pure-blooded dragon...

Unless you cheat like Xia Li.

Otherwise, this kind of hunting in a closed place is completely self-defeating.

“If it was an adult, these people would definitely not provoke it easily… So, I guess it’s a young pure-blooded dragon.” The old driver replied.

"Oh, childhood." Lucia said in a surprised tone.

This time the expression was no longer fake.

Lucia turned around and looked at Xia Li with a questioning look.

A pure-blooded dragon.

Juvenile body.

Since Xia Li likes pure-blooded dragons so much, he must be very curious.

Moreover, he has been talking about collecting some materials to write a novel recently.

but……

If Xia Li showed curiosity towards other pure-blooded dragonets, Lucia would still be a little jealous.

"Young dragons are very valuable. If it's a young pure-blooded dragon... the price is probably too high to be sold."

The old driver clicked his tongue and shook his head, his eyes full of envy.

In his opinion, if he captured a pure-blooded dragon and brought it back, not only would he be able to enjoy his old age in peace, he could even be directly conferred a title by the empire, which would ensure that his descendants would never have to worry about food and clothing.

Unfortunately, a matter of that magnitude is not something a small businessman like him can get involved in.

"I heard a little bit about it when I was in Tarot City a few days ago..." the old driver said. "I heard that the young dragon trapped in the forest is a pure-blooded silver dragon, and it also comes with a bounty."

He said this with a regretful tone, then shook his head and bowed slightly to Xia Li and Lucia in the car.

"So, I'm sorry, my guests, I'm afraid this trip will delay you for two more days..."

"It's okay, we're not in a hurry."

Xia Li's voice was calm. He stared at the lane ahead with sharp eyes, his thoughts drifting to who knows where.

"And, that..."

The coachman was in no hurry to leave. He rubbed his hands together, his fingers constantly rubbing the pigeon egg gem on his right thumb, a trace of embarrassment appearing on his smiling face.

"Our itinerary is calculated not only by kilometers, but also by days... As you know, we will provide corresponding supporting services, dinner and hot water, as well as some physiological and physical problems, we can help guests solve them..."

"So... on top of this money, you may have to pay for two more days."

The old driver said with an embarrassed smile.

Xia Li glanced at him.

Pretentious attitude.

This word is perfectly interpreted on his face.

In fact, Xia Li knew it very well. If he didn't carry a sword on his back and look powerful, the old coachman would never be so polite to him.

If he had shown himself to be a little weaker and stayed with a pretty and gentle girl like Lucia, no matter how rich the noble daughter and the guards were, the old coachman would have eaten them all up with so many servants and mercenaries in his carriage.

He simply couldn't estimate Xia Li's ability. In addition, Xia Li was wearing strange clothes and looked very secretive, so he adopted the most conservative approach and was willing to follow the trading rules.

Xia Li looked at the old driver with a cold gaze.

He had things he cared about to deal with, and didn't want to get too entangled with this profiteer.

The price agreed upon with him previously was three gold coins per person per day.

Now the time will be delayed for two more days, and the total cost for the two of them is only twelve gold coins.

Xia Li doesn't need this little money.

He took the gold coin out of his pocket and threw it out of the window.

The old driver's eyes lit up, and he didn't mind whether the other party's payment behavior was humiliating or not. He simply knelt down on the ground and picked up the gold coins one by one, and then put them in his pocket.

"I understand that you are angry, but don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you and send you to the capital safely..."

The old driver adopted a humble attitude again and spoke while nodding and bowing.

Xia Li waved his hand.

"I have things to do these two days, so I won't be staying in the motorcade. I won't ask you for the difference in food, drink and sleep... But if I haven't returned before departure, you can wait for me here. I will calculate the price with you later for the time I'm delayed."

"Hmm? Okay..."

The old driver only listened to half of what Xia Li said, but when he heard Xia Li said he wanted to pay more, he agreed without thinking twice.

Judging from his charging model, the longer Xia Li delays, the more money he actually makes.

It would be easy for him to collect fares from the following cars of civilians by using the excuse that "the royal elite knights won't let us pass".

"Sir, where are you going? It's very dangerous to leave the convoy in this desolate mountain area." The old driver asked with a concerned smile.

"Let's just take a walk in this wood."

Xia Li's answer was very perfunctory.

He jumped off the carriage, turned around and picked up Lucia.

Lucia patted her long skirt and took the initiative to put on her backpack.

Xia Li hung up the demon-killing sword and the bag, took Lucia's hand with his other hand, turned around and emphasized to the coachman.

"Remember, wait until I come before you leave."

"Ok, no problem……"

The coachman nodded respectfully.

……

Xia Li walked quickly in front.

Lucia ran happily behind him, and the scattered items in her backpack bumped along with the rhythm of her running, making crisp clanking sounds.

"Xia Li, Xia Li, we're not taking the carriage?"

"This road is on the cliff and has only one exit. Now the road is blocked and the carriage cannot move forward." Xia Li said without turning his head.

Lucia thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Should we walk there? It's still a long way from here to the capital of the human empire... How about you ride on my back!"

Xia Li slowed down and waited for the little dwarf dragon, then turned around and said with a smile.

"Don't ride it now, I'll ride it later."

"Okay, okay," Lucia pursed her lips in assurance.

"I will definitely fly slower this time to make sure you don't get dizzy..."

"fine."

Xia Li waited until the short-legged dwarf dragon caught up with him before continuing to move forward.

"Dragon sickness and motion sickness should be the same thing. I'll get used to it after a few more rides...Also, there's a saying you may have heard of, but people who get motion sickness won't get sick when driving. Why don't you try letting me drive a dragon? Maybe I won't get sick after that."

"Kailong?"

Another new word.

It was Lucia's first time giving someone a ride, so she really didn't understand the principles behind this.

Looking up at her dragon knight, Lucia nodded and agreed without much hesitation.

"Okay, next time I'll let you drive... If I let you manually adjust the direction of the turn, you shouldn't feel uncomfortable. It'll be just like driving a car."

Lucia said as she touched her forehead.

Although there were no horns visible over there, when Xia Li said he wanted to drive a dragon, she still imagined it in her mind.

It’s…it’s quite embarrassing for Long.

The word "Kailong" sounds very unserious.

I'm not going to be fooled by that stinky hero again, am I?
"Are you also concerned about the situation of the young dragon?"

Xia Li asked.

He thinks differently than the Love Brain Dragon.

His mind was busy analyzing the situation.

Xia Li actually thought of many possibilities.

He searched for keywords in his mind: baby dragon, pureblood, silver dragon...

There are not many dragons that meet these three conditions.

Not only is the age and scale color of this young dragon consistent, even the areas where it frequently appears are consistent with the little dragon in Xia Li's impression.

Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

However, he had heard about it countless times from Lucia's memories.

Not only had he heard it, he had even written down her story himself.

“I am a little concerned.”

Lucia nodded slightly.

The hero really does care about other dragons.

Vinegar!

But even though she was jealous, Lucia still wanted to see the pure-blooded baby dragon that the humans talked about.

Moreover, according to the old driver...

The pureblooded dragon is the same color as her.

...Isn’t this a coincidence!

If she could really meet a baby dragon of the same color as herself, Lucia would definitely act like an older sister in front of the baby dragon and personally teach it the principles of being a dragon!
