My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 288 Two Farewells
Before sunset, Lucia set out to return to the Lachlan territory on the east side of the forest.

This time she didn't dare fly as fast as she did when she came.

Stop and go along the way.

Rest for a while, rub your snow-white dragon belly, and then continue flying.

It was very strange. She felt very energetic in the morning, but after chatting with Neil Hawke, she suddenly felt that her body weighed three thousand tons. Even her limbs were heavy and she dared not use any strength at all.

Better be careful...

Having said that, having said that.

She played with Xia Li's holy sword like that yesterday.

It won't have any effect on my stomach, right?

She has no experience.

It would be great if a kind female dragon passing by could teach her how to have children.

Lucia thought secretly.

Anyway, Xia Li can't be relied on.

This brave man only focused on aiming and didn't care about anything else.

After all, he is not a dragon, so he knows less than Lucia.

"Ok?"

As she thought about this, Lucia saw the shadow of a dragon in the dark forest.

Because the figure was bright red, it was conspicuous enough in the dark forest, so Lucia saw her at a glance.

Red...female.

It should be a female fire dragon.

Lucia waved her dragon wings and descended. She did not choose to stand directly in front of the female fire dragon, but the female fire dragon sensed her breath from a distance and was looking at her vigilantly.

Lucia had no ill intentions. She just happened to meet a female dragon while passing by, so she wanted to ask for some advice on parenting.

"Have you ever given birth to a child?"

Facing the female fire dragon's vigilant gaze, Lucia didn't mind and spoke in a friendly manner.

The female fire dragon was stunned when she heard this, then she took two steps back and blocked the entrance to the nest behind her with her long red tail.

This behavior looks very much like "protecting the cubs".

Lucia was surprised and continued to ask.

"How long is the gestation period...does it require breastfeeding? Although my inherited memories tell me that dragons should eat raw meat from birth, what if they are in human form? Human cubs don't have teeth, so it would be difficult for them to chew fresh meat, right?"

After asking three questions in succession, Lucia walked around the female fire dragon, dragging her long silver dragon tail and half-folding her dragon wings.

Her huge body blocked out the sun for the slightly smaller female fire dragon.

The female fire dragon blocked the entrance to her nest, looking up at the beautiful and familiar silver dragon.

There is only one pure-blooded silver dragon left in this world.

Therefore, the silver dragon in front of us is undoubtedly...

"Lucia Sivana."

The female fire dragon opened her mouth slightly, and a voice mixed with magic came from the depths of her mind.

Lucia breathed a sigh of relief when she understood what she said.

It turns out to be a wise female fire dragon...

If it was a low-level mixed-scale dragon, then she was just talking to a cow.

"The absorption speed of babies in different forms is different... If it is conceived in the form of a dragon, a dragon egg will be carried in the belly for two to ten years. But if it is conceived in the form of a human, it will take ten months to give birth to a child."

"Human cubs need breast milk when they are born, so it is recommended that if a dragon gives birth to a child in human form, it should be breastfed in human form, otherwise there will not be enough milk..."

After all, the female fire dragon was a mother, so she answered Lucia's questions fluently and resolved them one by one.

Lucia nodded repeatedly, committing every word to memory.

As for why this female fire dragon knew her, Lucia didn't need to think too much about it.

She is the last pure-blooded silver dragon. Not only are humans impressed by her, even those low-level mixed-scale dragons know her name, not to mention the older female fire dragon in front of her.

"Thank you for clarifying my confusion."

Lucia spread her wings and prepared to take off on tiptoe.

At this time, the female fire dragon called her again from behind.

"do you remember me……"

The female fire dragon guarding the cave entrance asked with some anticipation in her tone.

"Ok?"

Lucia turned around and looked at the red dragon behind her again.

The female fire dragon seemed to find it awkward to talk to a pure-blooded silver dragon in this way, so she turned away from the dragon's head and spoke cautiously.

"I lived with you for a while when I was a child. You are the only pure-blooded silver dragon in the world, so I remember you. Later, our presence disturbed the local human lord, and I was captured by the Duke..."

Looking at the female fire dragon's eyes full of memories, Lucia pondered for a moment and came to her senses.

"Oh! I remember you."

Lucia thought of the little red fire dragon.

She dug mud pits and hunted small animals with her, and at night they would stand on the top of the hill, spraying flames from their still childish dragon mouths, competing to see whose flame burned brightest.

Later, humans invaded their nest, and Lucia and her childhood playmate went their separate ways.

The female fire dragon was caught by the human duke, while Lucia went to a farther place.

Unexpectedly, they would meet again in this way after they grew up.

It's really fate.

"How are you doing now?"

Lucia was pleasantly surprised. She turned back into human form. Her slender thighs extended from under the silver-scale light armor. High-heeled shoes made of dragon scales appeared on her feet. She took a step forward.

Upon seeing this, the female fire dragon also followed her and transformed into human form.

What surprised Lucia was that her childhood playmate...the female fire dragon, was actually a black-skinned woman.

The woman had a well-proportioned body, with some noticeable thigh muscles and biceps on her arms, and her dark skin made her look quite healthy and strong.

The horns on the female fire dragon's head are much shorter than Lucia's long antlers that symbolize the power of the dragon. Her pupils are golden and the whites of her eyes are jet black.

Lucia looked at her carefully.

It perfectly connects her to the face of the young dragon in her childhood.

The female fire dragon also looked at her steadily. When she was young, she did not understand the difference in status among dragons. When she grew up, she gradually awakened her admiration for pure-blooded dragons. She hesitated and did not dare to step forward to touch Lucia. She stood at the entrance of the cave and spoke softly.

"The first few years were quite rough..."

"Now Lord Nielhawk has protected us all. His power covers the entire forest. Humans cannot invade our territory, and we are gradually becoming more stable."

Lucia nodded and said, "I heard from Neil Hawke that you are moving soon."

"Yes... It's another piece of land far away from the Aize continent. We all yearn to go there."

The female fire dragon smiled, Lucia looked into her eyes and suddenly spoke again.

"The dragon who invented the New World must be a genius."

"..."

The female fire dragon burst into laughter and raised her hand to half cover her lips.

Lucia's words undoubtedly brought the two closer together. Both of them had the same smile on their faces, and at this moment they seemed to have returned to that ordinary afternoon a hundred years ago.

Tilting her head, Lucia glanced into the cave.

She saw a little half-human, half-dragon boy curled up on the ground covered with hay and sleeping.

The child looked to be about seven or eight years old, with short horns on his head and a long, thin tail behind him.

"Your son?" she asked.

"Well... this is my third child."

The female fire dragon said this without any concern, and she took a step aside on her own initiative, revealing the full view of her dragon's nest.

Lucia chose not to ask any more questions. Her old friend must have had a rough life. "I have to leave now. My family will worry about me if I go back too late."

Without stopping, Lucia took a step forward and gently hugged the female fire dragon.

This is one of the ways Xia Li taught her to express her feelings.

This method can be used on family members as well as good friends.

The female fire dragon was a little flattered by her action, but she still bravely accepted the hug of the pure-blooded dragon.

She raised her hand and hugged Lucia back, blessing her.

"You have to be well too."

"Yeah! We'll see you next time."

The dragon race is an immortal species. Even a female fire dragon whose bloodline is not so pure can live for thousands of years.

Lucia smiled softly at her, then stood on tiptoe and transformed into a giant dragon.

The silver dragon's beautiful figure quickly disappeared in the starry sky at dusk. The female fire dragon raised her head and watched her go away.

……

Lachlan Royal City.

Xia Li sat at his mentor Fiona's house for the whole day.

There was no doubt that this would be the last time he saw Fiona.

When I come back next time, Fiona will probably be nothing but a pile of bones.

Although she feels a little regretful, Fiona says she is happy enough.

The average life expectancy of humans in this world is not long, and she is already content enough to live to over sixty years old.

She will continue to spend the rest of her days with her family and friends, with a rocking chair, a small building and a small garden. She is very satisfied with this kind of life and is ready to enjoy her old age in this way.

Xia Li hugged her one last time. She came with a smile and left with a smile.

The sun is setting in the west, and the last years are coming to an end.

Xia Li looked at the dusk in the sky and felt that everything in front of him was foggy.

All good things must come to an end.

Constant 'parting' is something everyone experiences in their life.

After calming down, Xia Li saw a golden carriage parked in front of him.

The carriage stopped quietly outside Fiona's manor. A gray-haired old butler stood beside the carriage, looking silently at Xia Li.

It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

Xia Li looked into the window of the golden carriage and saw another old figure.

The old man was already in his eighties, and even though he was wearing thick, gorgeous silk clothes, his body looked extremely slow, like a frail person.

Those deep eyes were sunken in the dry eye sockets, and the look he gave Xia Li made Xia Li feel nostalgic.

Old liar.

To be precise, it was the liar old king who was fooled by Xia Li and then fooled Xia Li in turn.

When Xia Li first came to the magical continent, the first person he saw was him.

Without a word of communication, Xia Li walked straight towards the carriage.

The old butler tacitly opened the carriage door and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Xia Li should get in.

Xia Li got on the carriage without saying a word.

The carriage started off slowly, as if for fear of jolting the old man in the carriage, so it moved very slowly.

Xia Li took this opportunity to appreciate the beautiful scenery outside.

When they arrived at a familiar place, Xia Liran suddenly realized.

The original city lord's mansion was not demolished and rebuilt into a palace.

It still exists deep in the Lachlan Palace, but it is hidden behind the garden. Xia Li didn't see it when he came here yesterday.

“This is my parents’ home.”

The old king noticed Xia Li's surprise and spoke slowly in his old voice.

“I’m still waiting for them to come home.”

He said something that was not appropriate for his age.

However, the old king knew that he would never be able to wait for his parents to come back in this lifetime.

But as a reminder, or perhaps to leave a place for his parents' souls to return, he preserved this place.

Perhaps, even Xia Li himself could not have imagined how much of a blow it would be to an eight-year-old boy when a stranger told him "Your parents will never come back" seventy-five years ago.

However, it was precisely because of these words Xia Li left behind that he was able to stay strong along the way and later founded the current Lachlan Kingdom.

So, for the old king himself, he was actually very grateful to the mysterious man who brought him enlightenment.

"Actually, I have always had a question..."

The carriage stopped at the gate of the former city lord's mansion. The old king sent away all his followers and got out of the carriage alone, trembling with the help of a pure gold cane.

Seeing this, Xia Li went forward to support him.

The old king gave Xia Li a grateful smile, looking at the overgrown city lord's mansion under the golden light of sunset. Recalling the past, he seemed to still see himself at the age of eight, standing in this abandoned garden, seeing the beautiful silver dragon and the mysterious dragon rider beside the silver dragon.

"You, are he?"

The old king looked at Xia Li and spoke.

The 'you' he was referring to was the brave Xia Li.

And 'he' refers to the dragon knight who appeared in the City Lord's Mansion seventy-five years ago.

Although the memory was very old, because the meeting was rushed and brief, the old king could not clearly recall the face of the Silver Dragon Knight.

Even when he first saw the brave Xia Li, he was unable to match the dragon knight with Xia Li.

However, when a person's life is about to end, the revolving lantern in his mind becomes clearer day by day.

Until the old king heard yesterday that the brave Xia Li had returned.

He suddenly remembered.

The human hero holding the demon-killing sword looked exactly like the dragon knight he had seen before.

When he saw Xia Li again today, the old king was even more certain of the face in his memory.

Hearing this, Xia Li looked at the old king quietly.

He knew that if he didn't tell the old king the truth now, the old king would be buried with this question for the rest of his life.

Gently pinching the silver-white dragon scale hanging on his chest.

Xia Li felt the magic power flowing in the air and injected all the magic power he could mobilize into the soft dragon scales.

Suddenly, a white light appeared.

The fading golden sunset enveloped the dilapidated city lord's mansion. In the huge back garden, a magnificent silver dragon appeared out of thin air.

The setting sun plated her body with a layer of gold. The golden light seemed somewhat sacred at this moment, and mixed with the silver scales flowing in the light, it was incredibly beautiful.

The silver dragon lowered its huge head and rubbed Xia Li's face affectionately.

Xia Li raised his wrist and gently stroked her chin.

The spirited young man stood with the beautiful silver dragon, they blended into the background and were engraved into the old king's mind.

At this moment, the old king opened his eyes wide and tears flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this familiar scene, familiar people and things.

It was as if he had returned to his childhood at the age of eight.

On a midsummer morning, the dragon rider and his beautiful silver dragon changed his life.

The old king stretched out his hand tremblingly, trying to touch the last ray of setting sun in the west.

"Thanks……"

"Thank you for telling me the answer."

"Thank you for giving me the courage to face the future."
