My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 246 We Meet Again, Lucia Sivana

When Xia Li came back, the young dragon lying by the campfire roasting mushrooms was gone.

Instead, there is a ball of "pangolin".

The pangolin curled up with the scales on its back exploded, looking like a giant silver pine cone.

"What are you doing hiding here?"

Xia Li touched down along the pine cone-shaped scales.

It was obvious that this young dragon had never been touched by human fingers, and its already soft scales stood up even more.

The whole little dragon shook three times, then relaxed its fat body and blinked its pair of pure dragon eyes.

“I’m working out.”

She answered lightly in a still childish voice.

Xia Li: “…”

Xia Li looked back at the adult Lucia, and the lip reading was saying: Was your mouth also so hard when you were a child?
Harder than dragon scales.

The young dragon took two steps forward and scratched its back against the tree.

She still has some resistance to direct contact with humans.

Human skin is different from that of dragons and is much softer than the young dragon Lucia imagined.

It is hard to imagine that humans, with such warm hearts, would do such cruel things.

Moreover, this human being really doesn't know how to behave.

How dare you touch me?!

However, considering that the human in front of her was a blind man and that his blindness was his own fault, the young dragon Lucia generously forgave him.

"You just touched my armor."

The young dragon suddenly realized that his sense of touch was probably not that good either, so he quickly patched it up.

"I'm sorry, I just sensed your presence and wanted to confirm it... Beautiful lady, are you a knight?"

Xia Li quickly withdrew his hand, looked up into the air with empty eyes, and said in an apologetic tone.

Lucia beside him frowned and looked at the man and the little dragon quietly without saying a word.

With Xia Li's acting skills, it would be a shame if she didn't go into acting!

I’ll sign him up for a drama class when I get back!

"Yes, I am a knight."

Youlong nodded vigorously and followed Xia Li's words to excuse himself.

"That's great," Xia Li sighed and said, "I want to be a knight in the future."

"What kind of knight do you want to be?"

"Dragon Rider."

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Li felt his back being hit by a powerful whip.

The hard dragon scales became less sharp and hit Xia Li through two layers of thick clothes, making him grimace.

This is not how humans play with whips.

Xia Li grabbed the dragon's tail and held it in his arms.

As if by magic, he took out a pile of black sheep corpses from behind him.

The young dragon's eyes widened.

Although the young dragon had more or less guessed that the strength of this human male should not be underestimated, he was still slightly shocked when he displayed his rare storage magic.

Humanity's magical technology is developing so fast!

Dalong cut the mutton into even pieces and threw them on the ground one by one.

Due to the interference of space, Youlong could only see the mutton appearing out of thin air from behind the man in black, so she could only guess that the other party possessed some kind of space magic.

"I actually feel a lot better about myself."

The young dragon flapped its wings, lowered its body, and took two steps left and right like a running chicken.

Since this morning, she has not seen any flying sheep or jellyfish swimming in the sky...the magic of the illusion caused by the previous accidental ingestion has disappeared.

The depths of the Osiris Forest were filled with dangers. Not only were there many hybrid dragons, but even seventh and eighth level monsters could be seen everywhere. It was not a suitable place for a little dragon like her to live.

"I'm ready to set off." said the young dragon.

Xia Li paused while grilling the skewers and nodded in response.

"Ah."

"I can give you a ride... but my flying magic is a little special. I need to tie you up with vines and hang you upside down in the air..."

"Forget it."

Xia Li tried to think about it and concluded that the young dragon wanted to tie him up with a rope and then carry him flying, so he refused.

Moreover, Lucia herself does not have this human memory.

This also includes what Xia Li did just now, avoiding making a big noise and not wanting to have a head-on conflict with the Knights.

In order to avoid conflicts in the memories of the adult Lucia, he wanted to keep this "past" as original as possible.

If the young dragon in front of him changed because of him.

So, is the adult Lucia standing behind Xia Li still his Lucia?

Xia Li didn't want to study this paradox.

"I'll leave on my own in two days. You don't have to worry about me." Xia Li waved his hand and said.

"Row."

The young dragon's rare kindness was rejected by the human. She looked at the human for a second longer, her nose turned up high, and she made a dissatisfied sound with her mouth.

If converted into human form, it would probably look like a kindergarten kid with his hands on his hips, pouting and sulking.

It is too disrespectful to a dragon to reject it like this.

She has to maintain her cool image!
"...There are large-scale magical beasts up to level seven nearby. For some reason, they haven't actively attacked us in the past two days. But if I leave, they may attack you. You must be prepared to deal with them."

The young dragon raised his proud head and spoke in a cold but very ink-filled tone.

Oops.

Lucia has had a talent for being a tsundere since she was young.

Xia Li couldn't help but think that the big dragon behind him was actually both arrogant and shy.

He says "I'm not good to you", but what he says and what he does are completely inconsistent.

In this respect, she is somewhat similar to Fang Xia, who has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Well, she seems to be a good wife and mother.

"Thank you for your concern, beautiful lady. I have special magic to deal with them."

Xia Li nodded slightly, his tone still polite and humble.

Lucia behind him let out a breath and gained a new insight into Xia Li's acting skills.

When she was a child, she really believed that the reason why those seventh- and eighth-level monsters did not attack her and the mysterious man was because of her deterrent power as a pure-blooded dragon.

But now think about it...

There's no deterrent effect at all.

I am a young dragon, and my meat is at the stage where it is fresh and delicious. Not to mention humans, even high-level monsters are envious of me. How could they be intimidated by me?

It’s all because of Xia Li’s deterrent power.

If he could just remove the seal on the Demon-Exorcist Sword a little bit...

No monster within a ten-mile radius was willing to approach.

But Xia Li happened to be able to accurately control the range of the Demon-Repelling Sword, and he could protect himself without his younger self being aware of it.

This is the perfect control over the artifact...

So terrifying.

What kind of perverted hero was I fighting against in the past?

This hero didn't kill me and skin me again and again, he must have let me win! !

The adult Lucia thought secretly, staring at the interaction between Xia Li and her childhood self with a dim gaze.

Watching Xia Li hand out the baked food, he looked around in a daze. His younger self wiped his hands, and made his dragon claws a hundred times more gentle, carefully catching the food...

For some reason, Lucia suddenly thought of her own children.

Although she doesn't have a child yet, if she has a little dragon, she will probably interact with Xia Li in this way.

The difference is that the young dragon can let go of his dignity and vigilance, and throw himself into a tantrum, using his body, which is several times taller than Xia Li's, to act coquettishly in front of Xia Li, hugging and lifting her up high.

It's a bit funny. But when I think about it... I feel warm and cozy in my heart.

It turns out that this is how it feels between human couples.

She had seen human cubs and adult humans interacting countless times in shopping malls, but this was the first time she had experienced such a scene herself.

"For you."

When the adult Lucia was lost in thought, a pair of long legs suddenly appeared in front of her.

Xia Li put the lamb leg sprinkled with cumin in front of Lucia's nose and fed her with his own hands.

"Lamb hind leg, your favorite part." He said in a low voice.

Lucia was suddenly touched.

My eyes are wet, there is sand in them.

She moved her mouth to take the leg of lamb away, then lowered her head to the ground and spoke in front of Xia Li.

"There's sand, blow it away."

"...How can I blow this?"

Xia Li was a little stunned.

With eyes this big, where should he start blowing?

I'm afraid even an electric fan can't blow it up, this thing needs an airplane engine.

"I don't care, just blow it first."

"Huh~"

Xia Li blew twice at the huge dragon pupil.

Compared with ordinary humans, his lung capacity is second only to that of professional divers.

But after a few breaths, even the nictitating membrane on the dragon's eyes did not move.

No, with such a big eyeball right in front of me, my SAN value will really drop if I look at it for too long.

"no……"

Dalong was not satisfied, so he closed his eyes and nudged Xia Li with his big head.

Xia Li covered his head.

"What's wrong with that? I can't blow it. How about I find you a palm leaf fan?"

"Hiss, stop licking me, ah... hair!"

"..."

Across the blazing fire, the young dragon raised its head and looked at the crazy human in front of it.

This person... has been talking to himself since the day before yesterday, and has been behaving in a way that Long finds hard to understand.

There's really something wrong with his brain.

But...he's quite kind.

He is the only human being in this world that she doesn't find annoying.

……

Fine and continuous drops of water fall down in waves.

It was unknown when a light rain began to fall in the Osiris Forest.

There was white mist floating in the air and drizzle blurred the vision. It gathered into beads on the leaves of the towering ancient trees and dripped down. It fell into the soft and weak scales of the young dragon, and then flowed into the ground through the gaps between the scales.

The roast lamb was delicious.

Lucia didn't remember the appearance of the man in black coat, but she remembered his cooking skills.

I wish I could eat it again if I have the chance.

If she were a powerful adult dragon now, she would really consider keeping this human in captivity and making him her cook.

It's a pity that she is still young.

I have neither the strength nor the ability.

"I'm about to set off." The young dragon came to an open space, ready.

"These are antidotes. Next time you see something that doesn't make sense, drink it. Also, there are some dried foods in the bag over here. These are for you."

Xia Li packed a bag without knowing when.

The bag was neither too big nor too small, just enough for the young dragon to carry on its back.

At this time, the young dragon was not smart enough and her logical thinking ability was limited. She accepted everything Xia Li gave her.

What a nice guy!
Young Dragon sighed from the bottom of his heart.

After Xia Li handed the things over, he squatted down, grabbed a few handfuls of wet soil and pressed it on the fire. The flames gradually went out, and the deep forest became dark and cold.

Those antidote potions were bought by Xia Li in the town before he set out. He gave everything he could use on his body to Youlong.

I hope her next trip goes well.

However, according to Lucia's memory, after she was poisoned and met the 'mysterious man', she did live a good life afterwards.

"Oh, right," Xia Li continued, "go south. Go south from here, away from the mainland. There is an isolated island and rich land there."

What Xia Li said was actually what Lucia had said to him before.

Lucia said that the 'mysterious man' showed her a way to a fertile island, where she spent a fairly peaceful childhood.

Now, these words were spoken again by Xia Li himself. Did fate also come to a perfect close at this moment?
"Oh……"

The young dragon thought for a while and figured out the direction.

If she goes wherever humans tell her to go, wouldn't that be very embarrassing?
Dragons do whatever they want.

The word "freedom" has long been ingrained in their bones.

but……

True freedom is:

I will listen to whoever I want to listen to! If I don't want to listen, I won't listen!
So now, she has to listen!

"Goodbye."

When the young dragon turned its head, spread its wings and prepared to take off, Xia Li's voice appeared again.

"Goodbye... does it mean we'll meet again?" Youlong asked with his head tilted.

"Yes, these two words are a parting greeting between humans, meaning they look forward to meeting again."

“But it’s hard for us to meet again.”

"What if?"

"…Even if we meet next time, we may become enemies."

"Then I'll have to ask you to be gentler when the time comes." Xia Li looked at her with a smile.

For a moment, the young dragon felt himself making eye contact with this mysterious human.

But the other person's eyesight should not have recovered yet, and this moment of eye contact should just be a coincidence.

The young dragon looked at the tiny human, and after hesitating for a moment, she decided to speak.

"My name is Lucia Sivana."

Reporting one's own name is the greatest respect that the dragon clan can show to humans.

However, this human just stood there, looking at her with gentle eyes.

He made no attempt to introduce himself.

What a strange human being...

And they are the kind of humans who don't like to give face to dragons.

But the only thing she didn't hate was this human being.

The young dragon turned around and fully spread its huge dragon wings.

She folded her front paws and stood on her hind legs, with her heavy short tail supported behind her buttocks, supporting most of her body weight.

"Next time we meet, I will show mercy."

After saying this, the young dragon pushed the ground hard with its hind legs, and with the help of the powerful force of jumping off, its dragon wings instantly swung up.

The wind and waves blew away a forest, and blew up layers of green waves in the forest.

Xia Li looked up at the direction where the young dragon was flying away, and held tightly the slender hand of the girl beside him.

"We meet again, Lucia Sivana."

Xia Li smiled gently, turned around and hugged the girl beside him.
