My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 289 Get rich!

The fifth day back in the other world.

Xia Li 'exchanged' all those classic fashion little pieces of junk into gold coins.

As a brave man, it is naturally inconvenient for him to appear on the black market.

So he found a businessman he had worked with frequently before.

When Xia Li was still a hero, there was no gold coin reward, so he exchanged all the valuable magic props and spoils stripped from the prey for money.

Since I often go to the same store, I gradually become familiar with the merchants there.

This time, the merchant was even more straightforward and bought all the "other world goods" that Xia Li brought.

The price was also very generous, a total of 4000 Lachlan coins.

It is known that the weight of a Lachlan coin is 20 grams.

So, 4000 gold coins weigh a total of 160 kilograms.

It’s even heavier than Xia Li’s own weight.

The exchange rate of gold coins on Earth is very high now. Even if the gold is not pure enough, it is still a very scary number.

Taking the risks into consideration, Xia Li only planned to exchange a small portion symbolically.

As long as the money is enough for him to open a shop and buy a house...then buy Lucia a big bull sports car that she particularly liked when she first came to Earth. She said that kind of car has a loud sound and sounds very comfortable to dragons.

The rest, use it to make Lucia's bed.

Since she likes being with gold coins so much, Xia Li will fulfill her wish.

After purchasing enough pure crystals and strange magic props.

The man and the dragon returned to the real earth.

When leaving, Xia Li did not notify anyone.

He had already said goodbye to his former teammates and mentors.

It came quietly and left without leaving any trace.

"Xia Li, I think that if we go back to Aize Continent to purchase goods every now and then... we don't even have to do any work! We can just lie down at home!"

After returning to Earth, Lucia regained her girlish appearance.

Maintaining the appearance of a grown woman consumes magical energy. In the natural state of the earth, her appearance is that of a young girl.

Besides, she had already become familiar with Xia Li's parents, relatives and friends in this way. It was impossible for her to suddenly change, which would scare them.

"As expected of a lazy dragon."

After listening to Lucia's dragon speech, Xia Li couldn't help but touch her dragon head.

A few days ago, the dragon was touching his head like an older sister, and now it's his turn to touch him back.

"This idea of ​​lying down is acceptable in the Aize Continent, but not on Earth."

Xia Li carried the 160-jin money bag in both hands and put the money on the ground with a bang.

He continued, "Just think about it, if we just lie at home and have endless money to spend every day, how will others see us? How will our parents see us? It is difficult for us to explain to them where the money comes from, let alone to the uncles in hats."

"In the modern digital economy, every flow of funds is controlled by banks. Strictly speaking, our method of speculation is taking advantage of loopholes. If we are caught, we will be taken to jail for questioning. So we can only do it once in a while. It is definitely not okay to do it frequently."

After Xia Li finished speaking, he changed the angle.

"Besides, lying down every day will make you useless. We are just one of many ordinary people on Earth. We need to manage not only our own lives, but also our own careers...or in other words, our social value and social status. Doing this is to give an explanation to our parents and to ourselves."

"Um……"

Lucia almost understood what Xia Li meant.

She actually didn't mean to be lazy!
However, Lucia has a lot of things to consider at this stage.

She would rather stay in her nest and not go out... this way she can minimize the risk.

Rubbing her belly, Lucia asked with some concern.

"…Then, what will happen after eighty years?"

One hundred years is already the limit of human lifespan in this world.

If there were no cyborgs like those on TV and no concept of mechanical ascension on Earth eighty years later, then she and Xia Li would not be able to appear in this society with legitimate identities eighty years later.

They can use magic to disguise themselves and pretend they are aging.

But after aging comes death.

You can't really die.

At that time, it will be even more difficult to change your identity and live on Earth.

"We'll talk about that later."

Xia Li took out a plastic bag and poured the Lachlan coins from the sack into the bag like pouring rice.

After packing a bag of gold coins, Xia Li felt that it was enough.

The time to return to Earth was about what Xia Li thought.

The clock ticked down to less than an hour.

This means that the time velocity of 156:1 is real.

After thinking for a while, he added another sentence in response to Lucia's previous question.

"Our lives are actually only more than 60 years."

"When I'm about 80 or 90 years old, my parents and friends will be gone, and I'll leave here too."

"Um……?"

Lucia was a little curious about Xia Li's answer.

"You want to go back to Aize Continent to retire?" Lucia said with a wink, "Didn't you say that Earth is your home?"

"The Earth is my home because my parents and friends are here. I always feel that where my parents are is where I should settle down. But when they left, I had no attachment to the Earth anymore," Xia Li replied.

Lucia thought for a moment and then asked, "What about the remaining thousands of years?"

"The remaining thousands of years will be a long dragon life for me," said Xia Li.

"We will live in a different way, whether it's returning to Aize Continent or finding an uninhabited area on Earth to lie down. If you want, we can even build a crystal palace on the bottom of the sea... In short, wherever you want to go, we'll go there, and I'll always be with you."

Lucia was inexplicably moved when she heard what he said.

Well, companionship is the most affectionate confession.

Taking thousands of years to complete a confession... this must be the most romantic thing in the world.

“It’s still a long way to go!”

After receiving a satisfying answer, Lucia smiled sweetly.

Life is short.

Lucia gets to experience life in these short sixty years.

Not only should you be a good wife, but you should also be a good daughter-in-law to your parents, a good girlfriend to your friends, and a good mother to your daughter!
"I'm going to do the laundry!"

Lucia quickly took off her coat.

After this trip, there are still a lot of things to be cleaned, probably several large vats to wash.

Xia Li helped her soak the dirty clothes and put them into the washing machine. When they were almost done, they were ready to go out.

He still has things to do today.

Before going out, Xia Li specifically called Lucia and said he wanted to buy a small cake for her.

But what surprised Xia Li was that Lucia, who was usually so clingy to him, was unwilling to go out today.

Xia Li looked at the expression on her face and judged that she must be tired, so he didn't say anything more. He packed up his things and went out.

As soon as he went downstairs, Xia Li called Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan has taken leave to rest at home in recent days. His daily task is to take Saint Ivny out shopping to familiarize herself with the environment.

Although small restaurants like this are usually busy, the good thing is that it is easy to take time off.

As long as the boss lady is easy to talk to, asking for leave is just a matter of saying hello. It is not like those big companies with many rules, where asking for leave is as troublesome as applying for a world record.

Qin Chuan received the call, changed his clothes and went out immediately.

Every time Xia Li needed him, he would always appear at the first moment.

Xia Li told Qin Chuan about what he gained from this trip back to Aize Continent.

The two drove around Qingcheng City for a whole day.

Because the amount exceeded a certain amount, Xia Li did not exchange too much cash. He just exchanged a few tens of thousands of yuan here and there and carried them with him.

He first transferred 20,000 yuan to Qin Chuan, asking him to solve his current life problems.

When Saint Ivni first came, Xia Li also tightened his belt to make ends meet. He had emptied out all his savings to handle Lucia's immigration procedures, so when facing Qin Chuan's problem, he could only do his best to help.

But this time the preparations were sufficient, and Xia Li was able to help him.

Qin Chuan still wanted to reject Xia Li as usual.

Boys at this age are the most unwilling to admit defeat and have strong self-esteem.

In the end, Xia Li used the money from Saint Ivni to pressure him, telling him that Ivni needed the money to maintain her life, and that this money was just an advance salary given to her by Xia Li because she valued Ivni's ability to get along with small animals. Only then did Qin Chuan accept it.

Qin Chuan has had too many hard times.

Coupled with the ten thousand desperate situations and deaths he had experienced, he took every step very cautiously.

Even when facing a better future, he is always nervous.

Because we are too used to losing, we are afraid to have things.

……

Next, Xia Li spent half a month negotiating the purchase of the shop. The shop he finally bought was in Wuqian District, south of Qingcheng City.

This place borders the new district further south, has good development prospects, and the supporting facilities are more complete than those in the new district that is still under development. There are also many young people around.

more importantly.

Lucia took a fancy to a dragon's lair (house) here.

So we simply chose this place as the location.

This shop in Wuqian District has an area of ​​560 square meters. The entire floor is for urgent sale and comes with basic decoration.

According to the landlord, if you don't take out a mortgage and pay the full amount, the price is 1200.

The location that Xia Li liked was definitely a prime location. The unit price of several surrounding shops was over 3 yuan, and those with smaller areas were sold for over 4 yuan per square meter.

He just happened to have this amount of money on him, and it was in paper currency, so it was considered a small bargain.

Thus, with the help of the intermediary, the deal was finalized.

As for the source of this funding...

The process was a bit tortuous. Xia Li and Qin Chuan used two-way teleportation magic to go out of the country several times, and it took more than ten days to complete it.

The details are not convenient to disclose and the journey was very difficult, but the final result was satisfactory.

It was not until the last day of transferring the money for the purchase of the shop that Xia Li told Fang Xia about this matter after the fact.

Fang Xia was very supportive of buying a shop for Xia Li from the very beginning.

They believe that this will reduce Xia Li's future entrepreneurial pressure...

However, their plan was just to build a small shop of a hundred square meters, with a total budget of two million.

Xia Li's decision to buy an entire floor really frightened Fang Xia.

You know, even if you count the two houses she and Lao Xia own, as well as the car and teahouse at home, the total is still not enough to reach this number, and this is something they have worked hard for most of their lives to get.

As soon as Xia Li entered society, he set his sights on things worth more than 10 million.

To put it nicely, it is a lofty ambition; to put it bluntly, it is too unrealistic.

However, Fang Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Xia Li was starting a business in partnership with a rich second-generation friend named Qin Chuan.

The old couple was about to go to relatives to borrow money. They even made some phone calls before Xia Li explained the situation to them.

As for the two million that Fang Xia deposited for Xia Li, Xia Li also chose to accept it.

It would be unacceptable if we didn't charge any money at all.

Even if you invest in opening a store with friends, you still need some start-up capital.

Not to mention, Xia Li was also calculating the next step of replacing the dragon's lair. Accepting the money the old couple had saved for him now would make both parties feel more at ease.

When the old couple are really old, Xia Li will give them more to honor them.

The sun is shining today.

The basin was quite hot and humid at the end of August. The ground in Qingcheng City was like a huge steamer, steaming every pedestrian on the road until they were wet on the outside and soft on the inside, with their faces flushed.

Come out from the Government Service Center.

The big stone in Xia Li's heart also fell to the ground.

For shops that pay in one lump sum, the property certificate can be obtained within three months.

During these three months, he also has to handle various procedures and purchase equipment.

Three months later and another three months later, Lucia's ID card was ready and the pet hospital was initially established.

It can be said to be a double happiness.

"You little brat, you didn't even discuss this with your family. You called me yesterday, and today you bought it without saying anything. I think you've gotten really bold!!"

Xia Li was happily planning his plan. To reassure his family, he took a photo of the house purchase list and sent it to Fang Xia, deliberately covering up his name in the contract signature column.

When Fang Xia saw that he actually bought it, she immediately called him.

She was also afraid that Xia Li would be deceived, so her tone was a little anxious.

"Mom, actually I won some money from the lottery." Xia Li said calmly.

"Bah!" Fang Xia obviously didn't believe it.

"You are bragging! How could you win the lottery when you don't usually buy lottery tickets? Besides, lottery tickets are fake, ordinary people won't let you win!"

"Mom, really, I'm not lying to you," Xia Li said patiently.

"The second-generation rich man Qin Chuan and I each own 50%. He is not stupid. How could he give me something worth real money? And I only have million... Do you think million can buy such a big shop in a prime location?"

Xia Li's rhetorical question immediately put Fang Xia out of her mind.

He clearly heard Fang Xia covering the receiver of her cell phone and asking Lao Xia beside her: "Do you believe it?"

Old Xia didn't say anything, and Fang Xia continued talking on the phone.

"You didn't do anything illegal, did you?"

"..."

Xia Li was silent for just a second, and Fang Xia became anxious again.

"Xia Li, speak!"

The most terrifying thing in this world is when your mother calls you by your full name.

What’s even more terrifying is that my mother’s tone was filled with anger.

If he hesitated for another second, Ms. Fang would turn into Superman and fly over from Miyang City to give Xia Li a big slap.

"Mom, I still have to live with Xiaolu in the future, how could I do such a stupid thing...I heard that I won the lottery." Xia Li said.

He must make up for this white lie.

In order to avoid being exposed in the future and also to give the old couple peace of mind, Xia Li confessed under torture.

I admitted it, but not completely.

"........."

As Xia Li expected, after he pulled Lucia out to act as a shield, Fang Xia fell silent.

Xia Li can be young and frivolous, and can be impulsive.

But Fang Xia knew him very well.

From childhood to adulthood, Xia Li has definitely been a responsible boy.

The old couple also witnessed his protectiveness towards Lucia.

Fang Xia knew that her son would never joke about such things.

After mumbling a few words, Fang Xia still said that she didn't believe it, and threatened Xia Li that she would call to ask about Lucia's situation.

The matter passed as Fang Xia muttered to herself.

No matter what Fang Xia asked Lucia, Xia Li had already coordinated her testimony with her.

Speaking of Lucia...

Xia Li didn’t know what was wrong with this dragon recently. He never liked to go out.

This Long didn't even go to work. He stayed at home every day eating and drinking, and then cooked different kinds of delicious food for Xia Li to taste.

On hot days, she always likes to put a blanket on her belly.

When Xia Li asked her the reason, she said that the pet hospital there would have to come into contact with many people every day and it was not safe.

She covered herself with a blanket simply because the ice magic ball at home was too cold and she was afraid of the cold.

Xia Li felt that the dragon's body had become very fragile and was far weaker than before.

However, it is also possible that her last experience with a cold taught her a lesson, and now she has become smarter and knows how to take care of herself.

If she doesn't want to go to the pet hospital, then she doesn't have to go. Xia Li won't force her.

Even after obtaining Lucia's consent, Xia Li went to the pet hospital and told them that Lucia was not feeling well and might not come.

Lucia's former colleagues all looked at her in surprise, with expressions that looked as if they understood but not quite.

Everyone expressed understanding.

After all, it's normal for girls of this age.

Xia Li thanked them politely and packed up all the things on Lucia's workstation.

"Two hours earlier than expected."

Standing at the door of the government service center, Xia Li glanced at the time on his mobile phone.

When he left the house this morning, he told Lucia that he had to run some errands and would be back around 4pm.

It's only two o'clock in the afternoon.

Probably because it was the off-season and the weather was hot, there were not many people queuing at the window, causing the estimated time to be brought forward.

Xia Li decided to go home directly.

Before you go back, bring half a hand-torn rabbit and half a sweet-skinned duck for this dragon.

These things were enough to keep Lucia happy for a long time.

Summer Dawn: Baby, are you taking a nap?
Summer Dawn: I'm going to buy you some shredded rabbit. Would you like some spicy food today?

After typing two messages to Elong on his cell phone, Xia Li went to the underground garage to drive.

After waiting for a long time, Lucia didn't reply. It seemed that she was taking a nap.

Come to think of it, I have been busy with my career recently and haven’t been intimate with this dragon for a long time.

We have to have a good time together when we get home.
