My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 80: Release? Keep in captivity! (Please! Follow! Read!)
The evil dragon was very curious about how human buildings were built, so Xia Li took her to see.

There are quite a few reconstruction projects around the old town, and the hammering and banging began right after the lunch break.

The high-rise building was surrounded by a wall. As it was a major construction site, Xia Li was unable to take Lucia inside to see the area. The two could only stand outside the wall and look up into the distance.

Xia Li told Lucia that the tallest thing was called a hanging tower.

The tower crane is the high-altitude engine in urban construction. Its transportation capacity greatly improves the speed of building construction.

Lucia raised her head to look.

The sheepskin hat on her head kept falling down because she raised her head, and Xia Li stretched out her hand to hold it for her.

In this world without magic, humans can build such tall buildings simply by relying on mechanical operations...

In comparison, the magical world of Aize Continent, which can only build ten-story castles, is too inferior.

However, Xia Li thinks that Lucia's idea is wrong.

Eighty percent of the humans on the continent of Aize still don't have enough food to eat. High-rise buildings are flashy and useless to them. They have no benefit other than attracting attacks from monsters and dragons.

"Rumble..."

At the construction site, Xia Li couldn't take Lucia to see it up close.

But he could take Lucia to see the road being repaired.

The roads in the old city are renovated and expanded every now and then, and you can often see construction teams working here.

A huge paver, like a steel behemoth, was roaring and slowly driving past the two of them.

The back of the paver looked like cut black tofu, cutting out a neat row of asphalt roads.

White smoke wafted out from the newly paved road, followed by an unpleasant smell of asphalt.

Xia Li didn't like the smell and quickly took a step back.

He lowered his head to look at the dwarf dragon that was sticking close to him.

The dwarf dragon just frowned slightly, looking at the steel behemoth in confusion.

It seemed like he was seriously thinking about how this thing could be pulled out to such a long length.

"Little girl, are you scared?"

A few meters away, a worker wearing a safety helmet and with dark tanned skin came over and greeted me with a smile while drinking mineral water.

It is common to see passers-by coming to watch every time a road is being repaired.

But it is quite rare to see a fair-skinned girl dressed cutely like this. Generally, such girls will stay away from noisy and dirty construction teams.

Lucia noticed a stranger approaching and looked up at Xia Li again.

The paving machine was so loud that she couldn't hear what the other person was saying.

"I'm asking you if you're afraid." Xia Li said loudly with his head down.

Lucia opened her mouth, but Xia Li didn't hear what she said.

So she stood on tiptoe again and yelled in Xia Li's ear, "Don't be afraid, this piece of metal is not even as big as my head!!"

"Let your boyfriend hold your hand a little. There are so many big trucks here. It's very dangerous." The worker in fluorescent clothes kindly reminded again.

A huge roaring machine was speeding past the two people. The deafening sound disturbed the dragon's hearing. Lucia only heard the word "danger".

Xia Li stretched out a hand towards her, palm facing up.

Between 'putting her chin up' and 'putting her hands up', Lucia wisely chose the latter.

It's too dangerous here, we must protect Xia Li!

Xia Li successfully pinched the soft and tender dragon claws, and happily grabbed her over and carefully held her with both hands.

However, following the principle of 'one dragon claw on top', Xia Li was the one being led.

Lucia's hand slipped out like a little loach, and then she grabbed Xia Li with her backhand.

"..."

Xia Li refused to accept.

The two men stood at the intersection and fought for several rounds in strange postures.

In the end, Xia Li gave up.

Dry!
How could a grown man be led by a girl? It would be such a joke if others saw it.

When will this stubborn dragon correct himself?

Zhanlong led Xia Li away from the construction area and took him across the road.

She was not willing to let go until she was sure that everything around her was safe.

"Xia Li, that was very dangerous just now," Teacher Lucia taught him after realizing it belatedly.

"If that amount of steel had fallen down, you would have been covered in bruises."

"…First of all, even a force eight gale can't make the paver fall down. Secondly, if that thing hits me, I won't get bruises all over my body, I'll just get bruised here and there."

Xia Li finished speaking patiently, then turned his head and asked the evil dragon beside him.

"How is it? I've been showing you around for so long today. What do you think of this world?"

The dragon's claws had already retracted into the loose sleeves, and it was now difficult to pull them out.

Xia Li shrank his neck into his collar and sighed silently.

"Very good." Lucia nodded without hesitation.

Lucia has witnessed the revival and decline of human civilization on the continent of Aize, but the civilization on Earth gives her another sense of thriving glory.

The buildings here will become taller and more developed, and everything is moving in a good direction.

I believe that cities in the future will be more spectacular, food will be more delicious, and entertainment options will be more diverse.

Lucia would probably like it here more, too.

This growing feeling is a bit like...

Oh yes, it’s a bit like my feelings for Xia Li.

From being wary of him in the beginning, to letting down her guard, until now, she has the courage to sit in the arms of the hero without fear in the face of danger.

The dragon clan's understanding of emotions is a very complicated process.

Their free nature never restrains their emotions, and they are rarely sentimental like humans.

Lucia's mind was thinking rapidly.

I always feel that... the feeling that I like this place more and more is a little different from the feeling that I like Xia Li more and more.

But I can’t tell what’s different.

"So do you like it here?"

The question Xia Li asked was exactly the same as what Lucia was thinking.

So Lucia answered without thinking: "I like it!"

Looking at her decisive and serious expression, Xia Li nodded slightly.

"Then if I ask you to stay here for the rest of your life, are you willing?" Xia Li asked his real purpose.

"lifetime……"

Lucia knew what 'a lifetime' meant.

But the life of a dragon is really too long.

It is so long that things have changed and the stars have moved, and it is so long that it has been forgotten by time in the long river of time.

"It's okay. If you don't want to stay here one day, just tell me and I'll find another way."

Seeing the evil dragon's conflicted look, Xia Li thought that she was unwilling.

"When you say lifetime, does it include yourself?"

Lucia thought of something and suddenly looked up and asked.

"What do you mean?" Xia Li didn't understand.

"That is to say...will you be in my life?"

Lucia had difficulty expressing what this meant with her language skills.

But Xia Li seemed to understand from her sincere eyes.

"If you can't go back, I'll definitely be there," Xia Li said.

"I also need to help the humans in this society supervise you."

but……

If the dragon really can't go back.

Then she would fall into Xia Li's hands.

Release it back into society after training?

If it was Xia Li who had just returned to Earth, he would definitely choose this method to release Lucia.

but now……

Release?

nonexistent.
