My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 99 The Brave One’s…Big Gold Coin!

The next morning, Xia Li lay in his pitch-black little room, staring at the familiar ceiling in a daze.

Does the universe have an end?
When did time begin?
What is the meaning of life?
If it were in the past, Xia Li would spit at such a person and think to himself, "Pah, this is all he can do. He turned into a sage just by sleeping with her for one night?"

But now, Xia Li would say, 'Brother, I understand you'.

Perhaps it is because he has experienced countless life and death situations in the other world that this peaceful life seems particularly precious.

It was just an ordinary hug and sleep, as if the heart that had been floating for three years finally had a place to stay.

"Xia Li, do you want yours spicy?"

Lucia's little head popped out from the half-open door of the room and looked at Xia Li with sharp eyes.

"..."

Xia Li came back to his senses from his daze, sat up and spoke to the cook at the door.

"Don't move, I'll get up and serve myself."

"I won't tease you this time~"

Lucia was lying at the door, her voice and expression exceptionally gentle.

It turns out you also knew that you were teasing me last time!
"What do you want to eat this morning?" Xia Li asked again, half-supporting his body.

"Porridge," Lucia replied.

"There's definitely no need for chili peppers in porridge. No matter how much people in Shu Province love spicy food, they won't put it in porridge."

Xia Li muttered to himself, got up, put on a coat, and followed Lucia to the kitchen.

In the rice cooker, the cooked white porridge emits steam the moment the lid is opened, and the aroma instantly fills your nose.

Looking at Lucia, who was busy around the rice cooker with a bowl and a spoon in a pink polka-dot apron, Xia Li vaguely remembered a sentence he had seen on the Internet before: What is deadly is not the wine late at night, but the white porridge in the morning.

If last night's hug was enough to make Xia Li satisfied.

Then this bowl of porridge this morning was a critical hit.

"I added vegetable leaves. It was said online that adding vegetable leaves would make it more nutritious."

Lucia took a spoon and scooped a big spoonful of porridge from the pot, then put it into Xia Li's bowl one spoonful at a time.

Because the bowls used at home are made of stainless steel and are not heat-insulated, Lucia held the bowl for a while before she realized it was a little hot, so she put the bowl down and placed her slightly hot fingers on her cool earlobes to cool them down - this is also a method taught on the Internet.

Xia Li stood at the kitchen door, watching the scene in silence.

I always feel that...Lucia is becoming more and more like a 'human'.

Her common sense, her manners, the tone of her voice, her playful smile when she deliberately teased Xia Li, and her growing cooking skills...

Standing in front of Xia Li was no longer a distant and lonely pure-blooded dragon, but a living person.

A person who is busy cooking to fill his stomach, wiping up the spilled porridge with a towel, and taking actions for daily life.

One, his girlfriend.

Since his words and actions are becoming more and more like humans, are his emotions too?
Thinking of this, Xia Li walked over and put his head close to look at Lucia's face.

Lucia added two bowls of porridge, then used an insulating pad to take out the inner pot of the rice cooker and rinsed it in the sink.

The rice cooker that has been used to cook porridge is not as easy to clean as the one that has been used to cook rice. The porridge is thick and the rice grains stick to the wall of the pot and need to be scrubbed off with a sponge brush.

With the faucet running, Lucia was scrubbing the pot carefully at the sink.

She usually puts her long hair up when she works. This is a method she learned from a video. The long hair tied in a ponytail will not block her sight and can also prevent hair from falling into the food.

However, today, Lucia not only tied her ponytail into a ponytail that looked quite capable, she even rolled it up into a big bun at the back of her head.

This bun is not tied very well, and a few rebellious strands of hair hang behind the head like little tails.

Facing Xia Li's approach, Lucia did not react at all.

He bent down, with his chin almost resting on Lucia's shoulder, while Lucia was still concentrating on the work in her hands.

The chin, which was getting stronger and stronger, successfully settled on Lucia's weak shoulder.

Xia Li took a deep breath, and Lucia stopped and looked back at him.

"You smell good too." Xia Li praised.

Lucia washed the pot, wiped the water off her hands with her apron, tucked up the hair hanging by her ears, then turned around and hugged Xia Li with open arms.

Then, imitating what Xia Li had done just now, he put his nose against his pajamas on his chest and took a breath.

"You smell good too!"

Lucia said the same thing as Xia Li.

"..."

Xia Li was caught off guard by the little dragon that suddenly jumped into his arms.

Xia Li had a guilty conscience and put his hands on Lucia's waist, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Especially after meeting Lucia's pure and flawless eyes, Xia Li couldn't feel at ease.

He cleared his throat and asked the little dragon in his arms.

"Lucia, tell me the truth, do you like me?"

"To be honest, I like Xia Li."

Lucia nodded seriously.

hateful!

This is the answer I want, but it’s not the answer.

When will the evil dragon be able to shyly say "I like you" in his arms?

This kind of serious confession is not the reaction a human girl should have when facing the person she likes.

Xia Li was sure that he was still a gem and gold coin in the eyes of the evil dragon.

"Have a meal!"

He took all the bowls away angrily and picked up a small plate of Sichuan pickles.

The two finished the porridge in one gulp. Xia Li was responsible for washing the dishes. Seeing that there was nothing for Lucia to do in the kitchen, she went to the balcony to wash clothes.

In the past month, Lucia has become very good at this kind of housework.

He put Xia Li's clothes piled in the dirty laundry basket and sniffed them one by one as if inspecting them. "This smells good."

“This smells good too.”

"This... smells good but stinks."

Lucia smelled the clothes and then put them into the washing machine one by one.

This is not a special quirk; it is simply the dragon's behavior to defend its territory.

If she smelled any intruder, such as the scent of a female, Lucia would take the clothes and ask Xia Li about the situation.

It's a pity that Xia Li hasn't been out for some time, so the smell on his body is limited to his own.

Pour in the detergent and press the start button of the washing machine.

With a crisp "beep" sound, the washing machine started to work.

However, this operation was not as successful as the last one.

After filling it with clean water and stirring it a few times, the washing machine stopped.

"Didi~didi~dip"

The warning sound from the washing machine made Lucia take a few steps back.

She quickly hid behind the mop, her eyes silently staring at the Katun washing machine.

I’m about to unleash the ultimate destructive magic!
Some strange symbols popped up on the black and white display of the washing machine, and Lucia knew that this should be English, which she had never been exposed to.

"Xia Li, the washing machine is going to explode!"

Lucia said from behind the mop.

"..."

Xia Li came over from the kitchen when he heard the noise.

First look at the English letters on the washing machine, and then compare them with the fault code reference affixed to the machine.

"Drainage is abnormal."

Soon, Xia Li diagnosed the cause.

He unplugged the power cord, opened the lid and took out the wet clothes one by one.

He doesn't know how to repair the range hood, but he knows a little about frequently used things like washing machines.

Lucia stood not far behind, watching Xia Li being slowly swallowed by the washing machine, her mouth slightly opened in surprise.

The brave man who can repair machines is a little handsome.

Oh, and he was pretty cool when he was repairing the dragon.

After a while, Xia Li was spit out by the washing machine monster again.

Picking up the water-soaked cuffs, Xia Li took out a glittering golden object from the washing machine.

He held it up to the sun and took a look.

After a long period of cleaning and soaking, this golden little thing is extremely clean. Under the reflection of sunlight, you can even see the ancient patterns on it.

A pattern of a snake and a tiger.

Xia Li had seen this kind of thing before, and it reminded him of the common currency of the human kingdom on the continent of Aize.

"It's gold coins." Xia Li concluded.

"Gold coins are produced in the washing machine!" Lucia was surprised.

"Idiot, it must be the gold coins you were carrying with you. You didn't notice them when you were washing clothes, and we just found them now."

"Oh..." Lucia thought that this might be the case.

Her amber eyes stared straight at the small round gold coin in Xia Li's hand, and her dragon pupils reflected the golden light.

"Here, here you go."

Seeing this, Xia Li carefully placed the gold coin in Lucia's hand.

Last time he tricked her out of a gold coin and then sold it. This time he happened to get another one, so Xia Li decided to give it to the evil dragon for safekeeping.

"Do you want to exchange it for small change..."

Lucia held the small gold coin in her palm.

When I was in the continent of Aze in the past, I needed an entire warehouse of gold coins to make myself happy for a while, but now one gold coin can make me satisfied.

Lucia found that her greedy nature seemed to have weakened.

Is it because I live in this world of plenty with Xia Li?

Lucia stared at Xia Li secretly.

Xia Li's upper body was swallowed by the washing machine monster again, and he was groping inside to see if there were more gold coins.

If she thought about it carefully, Lucia found that her greedy nature had not actually diminished, but had simply shifted.

Looking at this cool brave man who can repair machines and dragons, Lucia has a desire to treat him like gold and wants to look at him every day.

I want to turn Xia Li into my own little gold coin.

"There are no more. The one you have is the only one."

Xia Li fished for a long time, but her pajamas were completely wet, and she didn't find a single gold coin.

This gold coin should have fallen when Lucia washed her clothes from another world for the first time.

"Don't sell this one. Keep it as a reminder of your hometown."

Standing up, Xia Li turned around and said to Lucia.

Lucia stared at herself stupidly, and it seemed as if drooling from the corners of her slightly opened mouth.

"Xia Li Big Gold Coin..."

Lucia suddenly said to Xia Li's forehead.

Xia Li: “???”
