My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 243 The Hero's Derailment (5.7K)

It is said that the softer the dragon scales, the shorter its vision.

'Lucia' is now a baby dragon whose scales have not yet grown hard.

Those dragon scales that have not been completely hardened by the wind are very soft and shallow, like cicada wings, and a few small pieces will fall off if they are slightly scratched.

If you look at it under the sunlight, you can even see clear lines and veins on these soft dragon scales.

If it is picked up by passing humans, they will simply treat it as the shell shed by an insect. Few humans who know the value of things can recognize that this is the dragon scale of a pure-blooded dragon.

Only after long-term exposure to wind and sun will these dragon scales become dry and hard over time.

Finally it grows into an impenetrable natural barrier.

Before completing this transformation, the young dragons not only have low physical defenses, but their ignorant minds are also the biggest obstacle to their growth.

Smart is mistaken by smart.

This is the young dragon at this stage.

While they are full of curiosity about everything around them, they do not have enough wisdom to support them in making appropriate countermeasures when in danger.

Young dragons at this stage are the easiest to deceive.

Therefore, many bounty hunters are willing to target underage dragons.

If this baby dragon is still a pure-blooded dragon.

It is even more of a rare treasure.

"Gah..."

A voice that has not yet fully developed can hardly produce the mountain-shaking roar of an adult.

The silver dragon raised its head and let out a childish roar towards the sky.

'Lucia' was attracted here by a flying sheep.

The sheep merged with the cotton in the sky, floating in the air, and then slowly fell to the ground.

Not just big flying sheep.

There are also buffaloes with fish wings!
And the deep-sea jellyfish floating in the sky!

Lucia felt like she must have discovered a new world!

She wanted to record this important discovery in her mind and pass it down as the memory of the Silver Dragon!

but……

There was no trace of this kind of creature in her memory, a species that even her ancestors had never seen. How could she, a fifty-year-old dragon, see it?
Apart from luck, the only possibility Lucia could think of was that she had been poisoned.

After all, before stepping into this forest, she 'accidentally' tasted some beautiful mushrooms on the roadside.

But, how could a great pure-blooded dragon be poisoned!

Even the strongest toxins are no match for her body's metabolism!
Lucia would rather believe that she had discovered a new world than believe that she was poisoned by mushrooms.

Silver dragons are very concerned about their reputation.

"Goo!"

Her vision and hearing became a little blurry, and the white fog in the forest obscured most of her vision.

The silver dragon 'Lucia' shook her head, crawled on the ground, and continued to move forward.

The young dragon's thin scales gathered together, all sticking close to its skin.

The giant dragon horns on the head, symbolizing strength, are still a little immature, like newly emerged goat horns, bending behind the head, forming a round and tender arc.

Lucia was in a state of sensory closure at this time.

My eyesight and hearing have weakened a lot, and I can only determine the direction by smell.

The most urgent thing to do now is...

That means eating some more poison!

If the body cannot completely break down the toxins from the poisonous mushrooms, it will swallow another highly toxic substance.

The two toxins will take effect in the body, restricting and offsetting each other, and then the body's immune mechanism will metabolize the remaining toxins.

This is one of the methods of memory inheritance!

The older generation of silver dragons survived by this method!

Of course, maybe it would be better to use purification magic to purify your whole body.

but……

Lucia was feeling a little dizzy now, and it was difficult for her to use magic.

"Ok?"

We moved forward about two hundred meters with our nose pressed against the soft ground.

Lucia suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.

She stretched her head and turned her long neck covered with soft scales.

Lucia turned the faucet, her beautiful golden-red eyes like gems narrowed slightly, and her gaze looked not far to the right.

There, Lucia saw billowing white smoke and wooden sticks stuck in the smoke.

There were about ten wooden sticks, with pieces of meat as big as her claws skewered on them. The pieces of meat were sizzling with hot oil and roasted by the campfire, giving off an aroma that the dragon could not resist.

It's roast lamb!
It's a scam!

When Lucia saw the human sitting cross-legged by the campfire, her clever dragon mind immediately thought of the possibility that this was a trap.

The dragon will not be fooled so easily!
This human must have come prepared, as the cunning dragon slayer is best at obtaining first-hand intelligence about the dragon clan.

Not only does he know the movements of their dragon clan, he even knows the different food preferences of dragons of each color.

The human in front of her, wearing a black shawl, must have investigated her before coming here to wait for her.

Perhaps, the sweet smell floating in the mist just now was caused by him.

so far so good.

I have to stay sober now so as not to be easily fooled!
"Goo-"

Looking at the strings of fragrant mutton, Lucia swallowed her saliva in embarrassment.

I had severe diarrhea just now, and now I feel greedy when I see my favorite food. Is this normal?

"The little girl over there..."

Just as Lucia was hiding behind a big tree and peeking around, the human who was grilling meat with his legs crossed suddenly spoke.

Judging from the voice, it should be a man.

"I'm lost, where is this place?"

The man pulled the hood on his head.

As he spoke, he did not look up at the little dragon in the corner, but buried his head, staring blankly at the raging fire in front of him.

'Little girl'?
Lucia was slightly startled and looked around.

She was sure that there were only her and the man in black here, there was no third person and no third dragon.

Little girl? Are you talking about her?

Although, she doesn't look like a little girl at all, right?

Lucia hid in the dark and flapped her silver-white dragon wings.

Looking down at her body in the form of a young dragon again, Lucia was certain that she definitely did not look like a little girl.

Could it be that this human was also poisoned?

Lucia tried to move her hind legs and stepped one leg out from the bushes.

The legs of a juvenile dragon are not as strong and powerful as those of an adult dragon, but are relatively lean and short.

The body sizes of dragons at different stages of growth vary greatly. If an adult dragon is taller than a mountain... then a baby dragon is at most as tall as a tree.

An adult dragon can crush a human building with one slap.

As for the young dragon, one slap could only break the wooden boards in the building.

It can't be said to be 'weak'.

In the continent of Aize, the dragon race's powerful bodies are definitely the best in the world.

It’s just that compared to an adult, the young dragon’s strength is slightly lacking.

So, she needs to be more careful.

Lucia quietly poked half of her head out from behind the tree trunk, and when the hooded man looked over, she subconsciously dodged back.

However, the man's eyes only glanced lightly over her head.

His eyes were not focused on Lucia, but he glanced at her distractedly and then moved back.

"Excuse me, little girl, are you in that direction?"

"I seem to have been hit by some kind of illusion magic, and I can't see clearly."

The man's tone was calm, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a sincere apology in his voice.

No danger...

This was Lucia's first feeling.

The dragon clan's sixth sense is often very accurate.

Although the timing and motives of the man in front of her were strange, Lucia was sure that he had no hostility towards her.

Lucia crawled on all fours again, tentatively moving along the ground.

'Crawling in the dark', this word is just right for her current state.

The man who was roasting the lamb on the other side curled his lips, then suppressed the barely perceptible expression.

After crawling forward two steps, the young dragon stopped and looked up at him again.

After smelling the man's scent and making sure that he had no hostility towards her, she let down her guard and walked over.

Then he sat down on the soft, wet ground covered with fallen leaves.

"You, why are you here..."

“As you can see, I’m lost,” the man replied.

"You're lost... where do you want to go?"

"The royal capital."

"Oh, that's quite far!"

Lucia thought for a moment, using her limited wisdom.

This place is far from the capital of the human empire... It's not far for a dragon, but it should be quite far for this blind man.

"What do you want to do in the capital?"

Lucia made small talk, staring at the mutton being polished by the campfire and secretly swallowing her saliva.

I can't bear it.

I simply can't stand it.

If I were in better condition, I would have swallowed all this in one gulp.

But when facing the man in front of her, for some reason, she felt a strong sense of contrast.

She usually does all kinds of evil, but in front of a man, she actually wants to maintain her dragon ethics.

Don't want to attack him.

Perhaps, bullying a blind person does not bring any sense of accomplishment to Long.

"Going to the capital to do some work," the man replied.

"what's up?"

While the blind man wasn't looking, Lucia stole a skewer of meat from the campfire and ate it quietly.

"I'm going to go find a prop and then go home to marry my beautiful wife."

When the man said this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a look of happiness.

Lucia slowed down the noise she made while eating the meat, secretly swallowed the minced meat, and then she spoke slowly.

"Then...bless you."

It wasn't that she couldn't beat this human.

If a fight really breaks out over resources, she will definitely have the upper hand.

Mainly because I don’t want to fight.

Considering his excellent barbecue skills, we'll spare his life.

Lucia kept trying to justify her actions while stealing meat.

The blind man sighed, raised his head, and looked past Lucia to the higher sky.

"You should be pretty too." He suddenly guessed. "Me? Average."

As a silver dragon, Lucia's arrogance is engraved in her bones.

She answered the man in a pretentiously cold manner, then secretly stretched out her evil hands to steal the meat.

My answer just now must have been so arrogant.

This pretentious tone was undoubtedly a warning to the other party.

By the way, what he said just now, could it be that he was trying to tease me?

He was clearly going back to the capital to be with his wife, but when he met a girl in the wilderness he would casually compliment her on her beauty.

Humans really are...

To put it nicely, it's sweet talk; to put it bluntly, it's fickleness.

The typical case of falling in love with every girl you meet.

Thinking of this, the young dragon's tail behind Lucia slapped the ground.

The small tail covered with delicate dragon scales raised a breeze.

The man in front of the campfire raised his eyes and looked forward with empty eyes.

"What's the noise?"

"nothing."

Lucia replied in a cold voice, quickly retracting her outstretched tail and hooking it around her feet.

"Maybe a small animal passed by." She said nervously.

"Oh……"

The man responded and then turned over the lamb skewers in front of him.

The man seemed to feel that the weight of the skewers had been reduced a lot. He frowned and felt strange.

"I roasted too much meat and won't be able to finish it all... I'll give it all to you." The man suddenly said in a gentle tone.

Lucia, who was stealing meat, was slightly stunned.

To Bu Qi!
She has finished eating!

A complex feeling flashed through my heart.

Lucia suppressed her emotions, nodded her head, and responded in a very cold tone.

"Ah."

Now, her character as a cold and aloof noble lady has probably been established in front of men, right?

I'm so cool!
"Ah..."

"Ah ah ah..."

Next to Xia Li.

Lucia in human form hugged her head with a look of despair on her face.

Didn't she expect that she was so stupid when she was a child? !

A suspicious human wearing a black shawl appeared in the center of the Osiris Forest, and she didn't even suspect anything! ?
He is such a blind man, how could he hunt a black sheep, prepare the meat, and roast it over the fire?
In itself, the fact that a human came here alone was suspicious enough.

However, not only did he not doubt the other person's identity, he even openly stole food in front of him.

Stealing is fine, but what's with the arrogant tone? !
What a pretense!
I guess Xia Li must be very happy now, right?
Now he could laugh at her severely.

Dark history, absolutely dark history!

The girl-like Lucia was a little overwhelmed.

She stretched out her slender arms from under her shawl and covered Xia Li's eyes.

"You can't look at that!!"

"Ha ha……"

Xia Li really couldn't hold it in any longer and her shoulders began to shake from laughing.

"Get me away quickly. I'm poisoned now and have no fighting ability. You just need to pull out the sword, and I will activate the automatic cruise return function!" Lucia shook Xia Li's shoulders and said excitedly.

"What the hell?"

Xia Li was so frightened by her that he felt dizzy.

"I will just be scared away by you... Of course, it's not that I can't beat you, but generally speaking, I'm not prepared for a fight to the death!"

Lucia hugged Xia Li's arm and shook it hard.

Her face turned red with shame, as if she was trying to save her little dignity in this way.

"Draw your sword quickly!"

"..."

From the perspective of the young dragon Lucia, she could neither see "herself" nor hear "her own" voice.

She could only see the man in black in front of her swaying from side to side, muttering something.

This human is deeply poisoned...

And it seems like his brain isn't working very well.

Is he mentally ill?
No wonder it appears here.

"Woooo..."

Behind Xia Li.

The girl half-knelt down, somewhat autistic.

There is nothing more depressing than embarrassing yourself in front of the person you like.

Lucia knew that Xia Li would tease her here for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the mysterious person I met before... the human who was willing to accompany me and cook food for me when I was poisoned...

It turned out to be Xia Li.

They seemed to be trapped in a cycle of time and space.

This return to the continent of Aize has brought this cycle of time and space to a perfect end.

Lucia couldn't decide whether her meeting with Xia Li was arranged by fate or some kind of "destiny".

But she was sure of one thing.

If Xia Li hadn't come here to protect her and drive away those humans for her...

I would have probably been captured by humans long ago and met a miserable end.

Xia Li saved her life.

it's not a big deal!
The silver dragon is different from those bad-natured mixed-scale dragons. She is a good dragon who knows how to repay kindness.

big deal...

From now on, just use the usual methods used by humans, stay by Xia Li's side, and pledge your love to him (and get him free food and drinks)!
"It's not fair." Lucia took a breath and spoke softly.

Her 'past self' awakened her memories from long ago.

The mysterious man's blurry face became more concrete in Lucia's mind.

Lucia had a sudden realization that 'I had seen this face when I was a child'.

Xia Li has been protecting her since a long time ago...

"What's unfair?"

Xia Li tilted his head and turned the barbecue in his hand.

Lucia, in the form of a young dragon, was concentrating on gnawing on a bone in front of him.

When Xia Li told her to eat all of it, she was not polite at all and started to eat the food with relish.

Humans are so nice.

Although he doesn't look very smart and likes to talk to himself, he might have some mental illness.

But at least she recognized his craftsmanship.

If I have the chance in the future, I can try to cook it for this human to taste.

Of course, the proud silver dragon would never repay humans in this way, as the word "repay" does not exist in her dictionary.

But we cannot rule out the possibility that food will suddenly fall from the sky...

What if she was flying low with food in her mouth and the food happened to fall in front of the young man?
Thinking of this, Lucia narrowed her eyes.

Her vision was a little blurry, and she couldn't see the man's face clearly.

But what is certain is that the other person should be very good-looking, at least in terms of the dragon clan's aesthetic level.

——Lucia didn’t know where this idea came from, she just thought so.

The sense of friendliness that the other person exuded seemed magical to her.

It was so magical that it seemed as if they had some kind of intimate relationship, and they were supposed to sit down in the forest after the rain, admiring the misty scenery and chatting about family matters.

"You saw me as a child, and I didn't see you."

The girl Lucia puffed out her cheeks.

She really couldn't bear to look at her childhood self.

So she snuggled into Xia Li's arms and covered Xia Li's eyes with her hands to prevent Xia Li from seeing her.

There is no such thing as eating from the bowl and looking at the pot!
She is clearly here now, but Xia Li still glances at the young silver dragon!
This is pure cheating!
condemn!

Strong condemnation!

"Haven't you seen my photo? That counts, too."

Xia Li took the little hands away from her face, grabbed a string of meat and blew it in front of her mouth. When she felt the temperature was about right, she fed it to the female dragon in her arms.

"Humph."

The female dragon snorted and turned her head away.

"How can one be jealous of oneself..."

The female dragon refused to eat it, so Xia Li gave the skewer to the little dragon.

The little dragon raised its head and looked over, then hesitantly stretched out its front paws.

"You look quite poisoned."

It was rare for Youlong to say something caring.

Fearing that Xia Li would regret it, she lowered her head, picked up the skewer and started eating.

"It's okay, it doesn't affect..."

The man waved his hand and continued.

"Besides, I was fine when I got lost in the forest just now, and now I have you with me. I will share my food with you, and you can protect me."

"Oh, too."

The young dragon Lucia nodded, agreeing with Xia Li's statement.

"But I can only protect you a little, not too much."

After all, dragons also need to save face.

"That's enough..."

Xia Li was about to say something, but halfway through his words, his lips were suddenly blocked by a strong force.

It seems that the female dragon next to him has reached the limit of her tolerance.

Xia Li has always experienced her jealousy and possessiveness.

Lucia is the type who would even get jealous of a little female cat passing by.

It's normal to be jealous of other dragons now.

...But Xia Li didn't expect it.

This guy is even jealous of himself!

What came towards me was a strong kiss with a sweet fragrance.

Xia Li hugged the female dragon's soft waist and simply closed his eyes to enjoy it.

In front of the two of them.

The young dragon that was gnawing on the meat stopped what it was doing.

It seemed to her that the man in black in front of her suddenly stopped moving, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

Wagging his childish silver dragon tail, the young dragon licked his lips, and suddenly felt touched in his heart.
