My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 244 Young Dragon
Night falls.

Everything was immersed in this profound tranquility. The moonlight penetrated through the dense treetops like fine threads, sprinkling on the ground in patches.

The towering branches and leaves rustled in the wind, like countless wind chimes ringing in the ears.

The nights in the Great Forest of Osiris were exceptionally cold.

Xia Li threw two pieces of wet firewood into the campfire, clapped his hands, and sat down on a clean big rock.

The damp firewood burned in the flames, making crackling sounds, sparks flying everywhere, and reflected in Xia Li's deep dark eyes.

Night is the time when Warcraft is most active.

In the dark, invisible corners of the forest, danger lurks everywhere.

For a brave warrior who has experienced many battles, he should be on high alert at this time.

"You take a rest, I'll watch over you."

Lucia sat behind Xia Li, with their backs against each other.

She supported her hands on the warm stones, looked at the campfire with gentle eyes, and then glanced at the man beside her.

Without even thinking, Lucia could already guess what Xia Li was thinking.

For the safety of the young dragon, Xia Li must keep watch.

But after returning to the continent of Aize, Xia Li is still the human Xia Li, and Lucia is no longer the delicate and fragile girl.

When she was on Earth, Lucia was in a weak state all the time because she had no magic power, so she was often taken care of by Xia Li. Xia Li had to worry about all the big and small things in daily life.

But it's different now.

Now Lucia can be said to be back to her peak.

The roar shakes the heaven and earth.

Shake it a little and the earth will shake!

With such a strong body, let alone not sleeping for two days, as long as she doesn't slack off, she can even go without sleep for three months.

Therefore, she should be the one to carry out the vigil tonight.

Although it doesn't matter if I don't keep watch, the dragon's aura is enough to scare away the beasts around...

But in order to let Xia Li rest with peace of mind, it is better to coax him verbally first.

Xia Li withdrew his gaze from the raging fire and turned his head slightly to look over.

The girl under the moonlight has delicate features, a straight yet soft nose, and a natural beauty on her face without any makeup.

When he looked at Xia Li, those light brown eyes were full of affection, as if he was gazing at his treasure, his gaze was almost stringy.

The two only looked at each other for two seconds before Lucia looked away first.

"what?"

She turned back embarrassedly, feeling inexplicably nervous.

"It looks good. I love it." Xia Li said with a smile.

"..."

Lucia seemed at a loss for what to do after being suddenly praised.

She felt like she was being teased by the bad hero.

Xia Li did nothing, but it reminded her of the scene in a TV series where a domineering president lifts up his young wife's chin, then says to her with a wicked smile, "Woman, look at me."

no no no...

Lucia shook her head quickly.

This is the result of watching too many melodramatic TV dramas!
"Let's sleep together."

Xia Li pulled out the Demon-Repelling Sword behind him, and then thrust it into the ground with force.

The magic ripples emitted by the artifact can scare away those intelligent demons, while the aura of the dragon itself will frighten wild beasts that survive solely on instinct.

The combination of a brave man and a dragon complements each other in the wild.

Lucia glanced at him and said nothing more.

In the blink of an eye, a giant dragon with a majestic body appeared behind Xia Li.

The adult dragon moved its body and found a comfortable angle to lie down.

In front of the adult dragon, on the other side of the campfire, the young dragon had already curled up and fallen into a deep sleep.

Sometimes Lucia had to admire her own nerves...

How could I sleep so soundly in the wild? ?

And in front of strangers?
It's a miracle that I can live to adulthood in the continent of Aize with all my arms and legs intact!
The surroundings soon became quiet.

The big dragon coiled into a big circle, the small dragon coiled into a small circle, and the two dragons slept in a ball with Xia Li as the center.

The adult Lucia hooked the thick dragon tail, and the dragon tail came around the dragon's belly possessively and circled in front of Xia Li, as if trying to encircle Xia Li into her territory.

The little dragon was sleeping carelessly, with its slightly weak wings drooping on both sides of its body, wrapped around its dragon head like a quilt, and its four claws tucked under its belly, curling itself up into a ball.

Although there is a big difference in body length between the big dragon and the small dragon, it is not difficult to see that their sleeping positions are exactly the same.

Xia Li lay back, hugging the scabbard, leaning on Dalong's warm neck.

Lucia is right.

The dragon scales are still very soft even when they are extremely relaxed.

Scales are better at retaining heat than feathers, and sleeping on them feels like soaking in a 42-degree hot spring, which is quite warm and comfortable.

The warm orange light of the flames illuminated the two dragons and one man, and crackling sounds were heard from the flames.

The faint sound of Xiaolong's deep sleep came out of his nostrils.

Dalong dislikes himself very much.

She covered her ears with her paws, then hugged the human in front of her and nudged him with her big nose. Every move she made showed her strong possessiveness.

Xia Li sighed and stroked the huge dragon scales on his side with his big hands, his movements gentle and intermittent.

After a long time, the sound of Dalong's sleeping breathing gradually came.

The breathing rhythms of the two dragons, one big and one small, are perfectly matched.

Xia Li slowly narrowed his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

In the Osiris Forest where he had been lost countless times, he actually felt the warmth that only home could provide.

Only Lucia can give him this feeling of security.

If I come to Azer Continent this time, I hope I can bring Lucia home when she was little...

Xia Li thought so greedily.

But this is obviously impossible.

As a child, Lucia would leave here and spend her long but peaceful childhood.

They will meet again when they grow up.

A dreamless night.

……

The next day.

When the strange bird circled in the woods, making sharp and sad cries.

The silver dragon suddenly opened its eyes.

Had a good sleep last night!

As she regained consciousness, Lucia quickly recalled what happened yesterday.

Because she was too full, it took a lot of energy for her body to digest all the food, so she just lay down on the ground and fell asleep in a second.

He completely forgot that there was a dangerous human being next to him!

but……

It's strange to say.

She didn't feel anything on guard against the mysterious man in black.

This is a very rare situation in the entire history of coexistence between humans and dragons.

Hmm... Is it really because he is blind?
Oh yeah, he can’t see now!
Youlong suddenly remembered that the man in black in front of him was poisoned and blinded yesterday.

The reason why he is so honest with himself and completely non-aggressive is because he can't see and doesn't know that he is a dragon!

If he woke up today and regained his sight...

Thinking of this, the young dragon's wings, which had not yet fully developed, subconsciously flapped twice.

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

She just didn't want to fight.

Besides...

The sword that this human has stuck into the ground looks a little scary.

The young dragon blinked and began to think.

Unlike the adult Lucia's eyes which are somewhat charming and gentle, the young dragon's eyes are as pure as a college student who has just entered society.

The pair of golden-red dragon eyes were as clear as water and lively.

It's easy to deceive at first glance.

After thinking for a moment.

The young dragon used her clever brain to come up with a brilliant solution.

She stood up on her front legs, sniffed the air, then laid on her belly, moved her limbs and began to crawl in the dark.

"Well... this is highly poisonous. If you eat it, you will die."

"This will cause diarrhea, no, no..." "This will cause taste disturbance. If he eats this, the lamb he roasts won't taste good. This is not good."

"This, this seems to be an aphrodisiac..."

"Well, give him this. After eating it, he will see dancing figures. It is like a poisonous mushroom that causes visual disturbance."

A young dragon picking mushrooms in a forest wetland.

With her extraordinary wisdom and inherited memory, she can accurately (pseudo) identify the types of plants.

"……Hopeless."

The big dragon opened his vertical pupils, looked at the busy figure of the young dragon not far away, and just wanted to sigh.

Is this what I looked like when I was a kid?

Xia Li, you are not allowed to look at this!

At this time, the young dragon picked a thick leaf from somewhere, wrapped it up, and then put the freshly picked mushrooms inside the leaf.

Holding leaves in one hand and mushrooms in the other.

With its front limbs off the ground and supported only by its hind limbs and small tail, it looks like a dragon walking upright.

In Lucia's eyes... this posture was as stupid as it could be.

"Hehe, after you eat this feast of poisonous mushrooms, you will be blind for ten days or half a month..."

"Then get lost in the depths of the Great Forest of Osiris again, and roast me more lamb!"

"Hehehe, I found a human cook~"

The young dragon let out a 'he tui' and reignited the extinguished campfire.

She threw all the mushrooms into the fire and started roasting them with their tails raised.

The young dragon seemed to be in a good mood and was muttering to himself.

Right in front of her, where she couldn't see, the adult Lucia slapped herself on the forehead, feeling mixed emotions.

Help.

Don't say it!
Can't you see this human lying on the ground pretending to be asleep? !

Lucia couldn't figure out for a moment whether she was too naive when she was a child, or Xia Li's acting skills were too good.

The corners of this person's mouth were curled up, but he didn't react at all and continued to immerse himself in his own fantasy.

"call."

At this moment, Xia Li, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

He exclaimed softly and sat up.

That baby dragon roasting mushrooms with its tail up...

It's really funny.

"and many more!"

A leaf as big as a roof fell from the sky and landed on Xia Li's face, blocking his vision.

"Has your sight returned?"

Young Dragon asked in a pretentiously cold manner.

Her voice was still very childish, but she deliberately lowered it, making her sound like a child pretending to be an adult. For those who knew her well, it would only take a second to tell.

"No, my eyesight is still a little blurry." Xia Li rubbed his eyes and answered sincerely.

"Huh, that's good."

"Ok?"

"It's okay, this is a detoxifying mushroom, you'll be fine after you eat it."

As Youlong spoke, he handed over a large mushroom whose diameter was wider than Xia Li's palm.

Maybe it's not cooked through.

But half-cooked mushrooms are at their most toxic, which is just right for humans to eat.

"Oh, thank you."

Xia Li couldn't see clearly, so he stretched out his hand and waved it twice before he was able to find the fresh poisonous mushroom.

As soon as he got it, he stuffed it into his mouth.

This terrified the adult Lucia.

"Don't eat it!"

Lucia rolled up the dragon's tail and used the tip of the tail to block Xia Li.

"My girlfriend baked it for me, why shouldn't I eat it?" Xia Li asked back.

Lucia felt angry and amused at the same time as the big silver dragon's long tail slapped the ground powerfully.

"This is really poisonous, you are not allowed to eat it!"

"I'm still alive and well, which proves that I'm fine."

After Xia Li finished speaking, he took a bite and the expression on his face froze.

Who taught her to roast things with dragon flame?
This is too disgusting!
The part that came into contact with the dragon flame was completely carbonized, while the other side that did not come into contact with the dragon flame was in a raw state.

Half-cooked... doesn't mean half raw and half burnt.

Xia Li couldn't swallow it, so he secretly hid the mushroom behind his back while Youlong wasn't paying attention.

Upon seeing this, the adult Lucia crushed the poisonous mushroom with a slap and pressed it into the ground.

"Have you eaten?"

The young dragon, who was lifting his tail to process new food, turned around and was stunned when he saw Xia Li's empty hands.

"Yeah." Xia Li nodded.

"how do you feel?"

"It doesn't taste good..." Xia Li answered subconsciously.

After saying this, he continued to add.

"But it doesn't matter. I'm sure you'll cook delicious food in the future."

"..."

Young Dragon's expression paused slightly.

She really didn't have much confidence in her cooking skills... Humans were certainly not used to the way dragons prepared food.

However, there was no malicious intent in what the other party said.

Then she would accept it with pleasure.

Anyway, she doesn't have any hobbies or interests, and eating is one of her few pleasures.

It seems like it would be a good idea to become a dragon chef in the future.

“I don’t have any plans for my future.”

The young dragon shook his head, still thinking that it was too far-fetched to use human thinking patterns to position a dragon.

"That's right. After all, you are still young and don't need to think about so many things."

Xia Li smiled, then raised his head and asked the young dragon in front of him.

"What if you fall in love with a human in the future?"

"Humanity……"

Young Dragon frowned slightly and spoke hesitantly.

I always feel like something is wrong...

Will humans always mention the word "human"?
Unfortunately, Lucia’s thinking ability is limited at this stage. She didn’t think too much. The doubt just flashed through her mind, and then she thought about other things.

"What is 'like'?"

"That's how you feel about gold coins."

Xia Li used the words he had explained to the adult version of Lucia.

"Gold coins..."

The young dragon thought about it for a moment, then immediately denied this possibility.

"Impossible, I'm a pureblood... I'm a human with noble blood flowing through my veins. It's impossible for me to have such thoughts about others casually!"

After saying this, she continued to think.

I always feel that words should not be said so decisively.

In particular, she always had a subtle feeling when facing this mysterious man in a black shawl.

Maybe...

Although humans and dragons are very different, this world is big and anything is possible.

"If that's the feeling..."

"Then I believe in my own choice."

"Then I believe in my own choice."

Two voices appeared in Xia Li's ears at the same time.

One side is on the left, the other side is on the right.

It was like the surround sound in a movie theater, and every sound struck Xia Li's heartstrings.

Xia Li raised his head slightly, looked at the adult dragon behind him, and smiled.
