My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 270 New Friends, Delicious (5.6K)

The evil dragon was playing in the sea, while Xia Li was sitting alone on the shore.

He found a big rock to sit on, and picked up a foam swimming ring from a small pavilion on the shore and hugged it.

Just in case, if there is any danger, he can jump in with the swimming ring.

Of course, with Xia Li's swimming level, it would probably be useless even if he jumped down.

It's normal for people from the mainland to be landlubbers.

Fang Xia had enrolled Xia Li in swimming classes before. After two weeks of study, he managed to learn the correct breaststroke posture and became the first person in the small group who could swim.

But I haven't been in the water for so many years that I have long forgotten how to swim, not to mention that this is in the sea.

There are undercurrents in the sea, which can be very dangerous.

"Don't run too far!"

Xia Li yelled at the top of his voice towards the dark sea.

"I know!"

From a distance, he heard the girl's sweet response.

I don't know how far I ran, but judging from the sound, it was probably several hundred meters.

Xia Li quickly added: "Don't turn into a dragon!"

For fear of being heard, he deliberately lowered his voice, but he was worried that Lucia might not be able to hear him clearly in the rough sea, so he raised his voice a few decibels.

There is a stealthy feeling of whispering loudly.

"Hoohoo!"

Lucia roared twice in response.

The girl's sweet and cheerful voice deliberately imitated the roar of the dragons, mixed with playful laughter.

"..."

Xia Li sighed and sat back on the stone.

With nothing to do, Xia Li flipped through the comments section of his travelogue.

His last update was twenty days ago, and the update was a note asking for leave, saying that he was going out to collect materials.

The comments section was quite mild at first, with some asking the author to leave and reply quickly, and others asking him to pay attention to his personal hygiene and not cause any loss of life.

But as time went by, after more than half a month, readers lost their patience.

When Xia Li opened the backstage, it was horrible.

He was scolded from head to toe, and some people even scribbled his grave in the comment section.

Xia Li did not choose to reply or explain.

The only way to win back the readers' hearts is to wait until the matter is over and update the book more frequently.

It just so happens that I have collected a lot of materials during this period of time, and when I go back I will be able to concentrate on writing 20,000 words a day.

Close the comments section.

Xia Li then opened the qualification examination system and logged into his account.

The results have not yet been announced.

According to the time written on the admission ticket, the earliest I can go is next month.

Xia Li was not in a hurry either.

These things are secondary to him. The key right now is to get Lucia's identity sorted out first.

Excluding the money used by the travel agency during this period, plus the previous deposits and the money frozen by the bank, Xia Li still had 200,000 yuan left.

It is estimated that it will cost 200,000 yuan to buy an ID card.

If there are policy fluctuations, the money to be prepared will be even greater.

If the difference is not too big, Xia Li plans to borrow some money from friends and then pay it back by withdrawing the frozen money when he returns to China.

If the difference is much smaller, I might have to go to another world to get some gold coins.

But these are all bad ideas.

Everything depends on tomorrow's situation.

"Ok?"

In addition to the changes in climate and environment after going abroad, what impressed Xia Li most was the network delay.

The network construction on the island is indeed not as good as that in China, and the speed of the data card is so slow that it makes people scratch their heads.

After Xia Li closed the web page that was loading with great difficulty, two messages popped up.

When I looked at the time the message was sent, it was already an hour ago.

Xia Li looked carefully and found that it was sent by Zhou Anqi.

Qi: Brother Xia, have you met Lu Mei? She suddenly said she was leaving this morning. I don’t know if she is out now. I called her but her phone was turned off and she didn’t reply to my message. I was so worried.

Qi: Where are you? Why is your phone turned off too?

Qi: What are you doing?

The three messages were sent more than an hour apart.

It can be seen between the lines that Zhou Anqi was extremely anxious about the sudden loss of contact between Xia Li and Lucia.

Xia Li then realized that the data card prepared for Lucia today had not been inserted into her mobile phone, so it was normal that she could not receive the message.

Summer Dawn: We just met, and I asked her to come to me. We are abroad.

This time I really didn’t lie, I really was abroad.

Xia Li casually took a photo of the seaside at night.

Three minutes later, Zhou Anqi sent a message back.

Qi: Oh, that’s good. I was scared to death.

Qi: How could you let Lumei come to see you alone... Forget it, I guess you won’t tell me anything even if I ask you. You two are both too tight-lipped and I can’t pry your mouths open.

Looking at this line of words, Xia Li felt helpless.

It wasn't that he deliberately hid it from his relatives and friends.

The main thing is that I can’t explain the whereabouts of myself and Lucia.

Seeing that the phone still displayed 'typing...', Xia Li waited for a while, and Zhou Anqi sent another message.

Qi: Lumei seems to have a cold these days, you should be careful.

This piece of news really made Xia Li stunned for a moment.

There is a feeling that one's ideas have been refreshed.

Lucia, dragon, cold?

Can a silver dragon whose true body weighs thousands of tons actually get sick?

Unheard of.

However, she was his girlfriend after all, so Xia Li felt a little nervous when he heard the news.

Looking up at the dark sky in the distance, Xia Li typed quickly.

Summer Dawn: What happened to her?
Summer Dawn: She is with me now, and I don't see any signs of her being sick or having a cold. Was she feeling unwell in the past two days? Did she have an upset stomach?

Judging from the daily photos that Lucia sent to Xia Li, it is very likely that she had an upset stomach from eating too much.

Qi: No, she just sneezed a little. I made her some Isatis root to drink.

Qi: Your sister Lu is really... She has never even come into contact with Isatis root, and she said that this little sweet water is delicious and asked me to make more for her to drink.

Qi: Anyway, you should be careful. With the recent change of seasons, the flu is very prevalent.

Summer Dawn: Okay, I get it.

After finishing the chat with Zhou Anqi, Xia Li turned off his phone, feeling that it was about time.

He turned on the flashlight on his cell phone and walked to the beach holding the foam swimming ring in one hand.

The sand here was unexpectedly soft. When Xia Li stepped on it barefoot, it reminded him of mud that didn't stick to his feet. It was moist and comfortable.

At the wet junction of the shallows, white waves swept in from the dark depths.

The sea water touched Xia Li's instep, and the cold touch startled Xia Li.

The water temperature in shallow seas is very low at night.

Xia Li thought of Zhou Anqi's previous instructions and hurriedly shouted towards the sea.

"came back!"

On the quiet coast, waves are rolling one after another.

Listening to the sound of the waves, Xia Li stood for a while.

After waiting for about two minutes, there was still no sound from the dark water surface, so he raised his flashlight and shook it again.

"Lucia!"

At Xia Li's urgent call, a pair of coin-sized light bulbs slowly swam over from the depths of the shallow sea.

Looking around and seeing no one, Lucia suddenly stood up from the bottom of the water.

"Pfft!"

Pop up!

Shaking off the water droplets from her hair, Lucia walked ashore dragging her wet skirt.

The glowing golden-red dragon pupils quickly retracted. The girl blinked her beautiful almond eyes and waved at Xia Li, showing him what she had in her hand.

"show you!"

Lucia stretched out her hands as if to take credit.

The white and tender little paws were full of things.

In his right hand he held a large swallowfish as long as his arm, and in his palm he also clenched a whisker. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the other end of the whisker was connected to a fat spiny lobster.

In her other hand, Lucia held a large pink conch.

This conch is particularly beautiful, with a milky white back and an attractive bright pink belly.

Xia Li didn't recognize this kind of conch, so he took a picture with his mobile phone and searched for it, and found that it was a species called "Queen Phoenix Conch".

This species is banned in the country, but it is a common food in the Caribbean Sea.

Not only is it edible, but if you get pink pearls, you can also make a small profit.

The dragon probably fished it out because it was beautiful.

It's quite heavy in the hand.

"Put on your clothes."

Without worrying too much about the "prey" that Lucia caught, Xia Li quickly took out a clean coat and put it on Lucia.

After thinking about it, I decided to wrap her up with the two pieces of clothing I brought out together.

Afterwards, Xia Li stuffed all these messy marine creatures into Lucia's arms, and he bent down and held Lucia horizontally in his arms like a princess.

The beach here is not far from the residence.

Xia Li held Lucia in his arms, stepped across the sand with one foot deep and one foot shallow, picked up the slippers on the ground and put them on her feet.

Then he quickly returned to the hotel apartment.

The first thing I did when I got back was to throw the dragon into the bathroom and wash it.

The blue plaid skirt she wore today had long been soaked by sea water. Considering that sea water is corrosive, in order to preserve this pretty little skirt, Xia Li washed Lucia's skirt with fresh water overnight.

"Wow..."

Hot water was flowing in the bathroom.

Lucia lifted the bathroom curtain and peeked at Xia Li who was sitting at the sink.

Her face blushed and she stretched out her palms.

"Give me the panties...I'll wash this myself."

Xia Li: “…”

It’s already this time, why do you return what’s yours to me?

He was washing it by hand very seriously and would never do anything bad with it.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Li didn't care much and threw the pink strawberry bear pants into Lucia's palm with a "pop".

Give it to you!
When the dragon came out of the bath clean and white, the skirt in Xia Li's hand was also washed. Just as she hung the skirt up and put it in the vent, she saw Lucia squatting on the ground fiddling with the prey she had caught.

The great swallowfish was already dead, the queen conch was curled up tightly, and the spiny lobster was dying.

It is impossible to take it back and release it now.

Evil dragons have their own way of dealing with things.

"New friend!" she exclaimed excitedly.

"How do you eat your new friend?"

Xia Li rolled up his sleeves and walked over.

I know what's going on in this dragon's head.

Coincidentally, he was thinking the same thing.

There is an induction cooker in the apartment hotel, so you can consider boiling seafood.

There is no way to steam it, and there is no seasoning, so the main focus is on keeping the original flavor.

The lobster urinated, the big swallowfish was cut open from the middle of its belly and cleaned, and Xia Li tried to pry the queen conch out for a long time but found that he couldn't pry it out, so he simply threw the whole thing into the water and boiled it.

By the way, the knives provided by the apartment hotel are really nice. Xia Li used the Demon-Exorcist Sword to handle the seafood throughout the whole process.

Bring water to a boil.

Half an hour passed.

After making sure all the ingredients were cooked, Xia Li opened the lid of the pot.

The moment the lid is opened, the fresh and fragrant aroma fills the entire room.

Lucia was rubbing her hands excitedly beside her.

Since there were no eating utensils, the two of them waited for the food to cool down for a while and then simply ate it with their hands.

Well, the fish was overcooked, hard and not tasty.

The lobster is chewy and smooth, and the meat is quite firm and delicious.

However, because lobster contains the word "dragon" in its name, Lucia didn't eat much, and most of the shrimp meat went into Xia Li's mouth.

However, the snail, which looked very beautiful, tasted more delicious than Lucia had imagined.

It feels so good to bite into the snail meat in one bite.

It’s a pity that he didn’t find any pink pearls and failed to become rich.

“Today’s new friends are delicious too!”

When you turn into a dragon, eating this kind of conch is like eating melon seeds.

When you become a human, you can eat conch meat of this size directly as a meal.

As a midnight snack, it is sufficient.

Lucia rubbed her belly with a very satisfied expression.

Xia Li had no idea where he had learned this idea of ​​comparing food to "friends".

It's really creepy and funny.

It is more in line with Lucia's recent antics.

"Zhou Anqi said you might have a cold. How do you feel now?"

Xia Li still felt a little worried when he thought about this.

On the way back, Lucia had no signs of a runny nose or cough, but she sneezed twice when she was blown by the sea breeze when she came ashore just now.

It shouldn't be considered a cold, right?

After all, this is a pure-blooded dragon. How could it possibly catch a cold like a human?

Xia Li thought uncertainly.

"I feel great now!"

Lucia took her new friend's house (referring to the conch shell) in her hands, looked at it, and scratched the patterns on it with her fingers.

Seeing how energetic she was, Xia Li felt that he must have been overthinking it.

Even if you put this dragon in the snowy mountains and let it run barefoot, it is unlikely that she will catch a cold. How could such a small temperature difference between seasons take her down?

"Do you want to hear the sound of the ocean?"

Xia Li walked over and grabbed the pink conch shell in her hand.

Lucia pricked up her ears to listen to the noise outside the window and answered Xia Li seriously.

"If there are no cars passing by outside the building, I can hear the sound of the waves with my hearing."

Because the dragon was too serious, Xia Li was amused.

"I mean, listen to the sound of the sea with a conch shell."

"Use this little thing?"

Lucia turned around, her hair, which had not yet been blown dry, hanging wetly on her shoulders.

There is a big difference between how she looks with her hair down and with it in braids.

It looks like she has transformed from a pure and lively junior high school girl into an intellectual and slightly charming girl next door.

She has lost some of her innocence and immaturity, and gained some maturity and gentleness.

Xia Li walked around behind her, put one hand on her beautiful waist, and with the other hand, pointed the hollow part of the conch at Lucia's white and pink ear.

The sound of the air flowing reverberates in the curved internal shape of the conch shell, eventually forming a unique sound of waves.

"hu~hu~"

The sound of the sea!
"Magic props!"

Lucia found it amazing and quickly turned around to look at Xia Li.

Xia Li's special magic!
Every time, whenever he does something, it's magic that makes the dragon very happy!

"Is it fun?"

Xia Li pulled Lucia to sit down on the bed, took a hair dryer to blow her hair, and continued.

"But we can't take this thing back with us, so we can only play with it on the island."

The buzzing sound of the hair dryer mixed with Xia Li's voice. Lucia held the heavy conch and listened to Xia Li quietly. From time to time, she lifted the conch up to listen to what it said. There was a light flashing in her eyes and a smile on her face.

"hey-hey……"

Xia Li said that she would be able to apply for an ID card tomorrow.

Although it will take more than half a year to get her identity document, as long as the application is approved, she will officially be considered a member of the Earth.

Join the human race in this world and become a real 'human'.

By then, Lucia would no longer have the inferiority complex of being a foreigner.

You don’t have to hide anymore, you can go wherever you want and introduce yourself to anyone openly.

Xia Li's relatives and friends can truly accept her.

Social dinosaurs are no longer socially phobic!
Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Late night falls.

Lucia was not sleepy and wanted to play for a while longer. However, considering that Xia Li must be very tired from the past two days, she got into bed first at two o'clock in the morning and patted the bed to ask Xia Li to sleep with her.

Xia Li was still there, looking at tomorrow's strategy on his phone.

In order to actively respond to the unknown problems that may be faced tomorrow, Xia Li needs to be fully prepared.

"If it doesn't work tomorrow, I will use magic secretly..."

Lucia's slender white legs clamped the large stretch doll in her arms, and she blinked her eyes as she looked at Xia Li.

Xia Li shook his head: "Although there are not as many cameras here as in the city where we live, this place is too unfamiliar to us and there are many variables. Magic is the worst option. We must keep this step unless we have no other choice."

"I know, you said that. Unless we encounter a life-threatening emergency, we can't use magic in public..."

Lucia always kept this in mind, but when she saw Xia Li’s nervous expression, she felt a little sorry for him.

"The bed has already reached the bridge, and it will naturally straighten up soon, so don't worry about it... Come over and have a good sleep!"

Lucia stretched out her arms and opened them.

Xia Li glanced at the tempting buns and his head automatically lay over.

Mm, this facial cleanser is so soft and comfortable!
As if under some kind of sleeping spell, sleepiness took over the moment Xia Li lay down.

Listening to the faint sound of waves in the distance and feeling Lucia's warm body temperature, Xia Li fell into a dream.

……

Lucia couldn't sleep.

Can't sleep at all.

Xia Li pressed her arm so hard that it became numb. She gritted her teeth and carefully pulled her arm away from under Xia Li's neck.

But Xia Li's head was like a magnet that was pulled apart and automatically sucked up again.

He had to press his forehead against Lucia's collarbone, melt his nose into the soft ball, and breathe the air inside.

Every time Lucia moved, Xia Li, who was sleeping soundly, moved with her.

"..."

Hey.

After a few tries, Lucia sighed.

The hero is really clingy... clingy like a dragon.

no way.

I can only hold him and play with my phone secretly.

Lucia lay on her side, her whole dragon body remaining in the same position, her arms sneaking around the back of Xia Li's head.

She held up her phone, barely able to see the screen.

When I can’t sleep, surfing the Internet is the only way to entertain myself.

Lucia's phone has been equipped with a data card. Although the Internet speed is too slow to watch videos, it can still be used to browse websites and send messages.

After three hours of frantically reading forum posts, even when her phone ran out of battery, Lucia still couldn't fall asleep.

I turned around and saw that it was almost dawn outside.

Lucia's heart skipped a beat.

broken.

If Xia Li woke up and knew that he had stayed up all night, he would definitely not let himself off easily.

If only there was a magic trick that could hypnotize myself...

As the sky at the seaside grew brighter, Lucia became increasingly anxious.

It is six o'clock in the morning now, which should be six o'clock in the evening in Qingcheng City.

According to Lucia's biological clock, it would take at least another four hours before she could go to bed.

But, Xia Li got up four hours later, so why was she still sleeping?

"Ah Qiu——"

In a hurry, Lucia sneezed loudly.

Because he was relaxed enough, the dragon's tail and horns were exposed at the moment of sneezing.

The long silver tail unconsciously lifted up, like a cat with its tail lifted up.

A palm-sized horn suddenly popped out and pressed against the soft headboard.

Lucia rubbed her wet nose and quickly looked up at the bedside.

It’s okay, it’s okay… at least there’s no hole, otherwise you would definitely have to pay a small amount of money for it.

Lucia quickly retracted her tail and horns.

She curled up her feet and completely wrapped herself and Xia Li with the quilt.

Zhou Anqi said she might have a slight cold...

You don’t really have a cold, do you?
