My Wife is an Evil Dragon-Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Look at Yours
As the night deepened, Xia Li’s sleepiness also gradually intensified.
He yawned, remembering his promise to take Lucia out for a walk tomorrow, and the yawn he was halfway through was stifled.
Clearly, before returning home, he had made up his mind that in order to avoid any mishaps, he would firmly confine Lucia to his small room, never allowing her to take a single step outside.
How come he changed his mind after only an hour?
It must be because this evil dragon was acting too pitiful, causing Xia Li to feel a sense of compassion.
Could it be that she’s pretending to be weak?
Xia Li secretly glanced at Lucia on the sofa.
Lucia’s legs were crossed, sometimes giggling foolishly at the content playing on the TV, and sometimes her eyes lit up as if she had discovered something interesting.
The TV was currently showing social news, could this silly dragon really understand it?
However, Xia Li quickly dismissed the possibility of Lucia pretending to be weak to deliberately gain sympathy.
With the amount of wisdom in her head, it wasn’t enough to support her playing such petty tricks.
“Lucia.”
“Hee hee hee… Huh?”
Lucia, who was giggling at the TV, came back to her senses and turned her amber eyes to Xia Li.
“What’s wrong?”
“Let’s make it clear first, when we go out tomorrow, don’t talk, just follow behind me,” Xia Li said seriously, “You must listen to everything I say, only then will I take you to eat those foods you’ve never seen before.”
“Oh… Oh.”
Lucia didn’t hesitate, she silently nodded her head in agreement.
Xia Li knew this place better than her, and as a lone dragon, it wasn’t impossible for her to swallow her pride and temporarily listen to the Brave Hero.
“Come.”
In order to deepen the evil dragon’s impression and prevent her from forgetting after a night’s sleep, Xia Li extended a hand, indicating he wanted to shake hands with Lucia.
Lucia huddled on the sofa, staring at Xia Li’s outstretched hand for a while.
Then, she leaned forward slightly, stretched her head out, and placed her chin in Xia Li’s palm.
“Like this?” Lucia blinked her eyes in confusion.
Xia Li: “???”
The girl’s chin was delicate and soft, holding it in his hand was like a small curved ‘V’.
Xia Li paused for a moment and quickly withdrew his hand.
“Shake hands…” Xia Li said, somewhat amused, “Shaking hands in the human world represents reaching a consensus, not for you to put your head here.”
“Oh…”
Lucia remembered seeing humans training animals in human towns before, they always liked to put their hands on the chins of horses, kittens, and puppies and scratch them, she thought it was some special quirk, but it turned out they just wanted to express ‘reaching a consensus’?
Humans are really hard to understand.
Reaching out and shaking Xia Li’s rough hand, Lucia quickly withdrew her hand.
How to put it… Maybe because she was in human form now, Lucia felt that Xia Li’s palm was hard and had many small calluses, which should be caused by long-term friction from holding a sword.
If Lucia could shake Xia Li’s hand with her dragon claws in her true form, she could guarantee… her dragon scales were harder than Xia Li’s!
Lucia’s competitive spirit was aroused, and she lowered her head and picked at her fingers.
She really wasn’t used to these human hands.
They felt soft and boneless to the touch, and looked very weak.
“I’m too tired today, let’s leave it at that, you can ask me anything you want to know tomorrow.”
Xia Li said, standing up.
He was extremely sleepy at this time.
In the past, when he was in the other world, due to the lack of entertainment, he would go to sleep on time as soon as it got dark and wake up as soon as it was dawn.
With this kind of biological clock on Earth, he wouldn’t have any nightlife.
Xia Li dragged his tired body to the wall and reached out to touch a familiar spot.
With a ‘click’, the light turned off.
The room immediately darkened, and the TV still playing became the only light source in the entire space.
The fluorescent screen kept changing, reflecting on Lucia’s surprised little face.
Lucia looked at the ceiling and then at Xia Li.
It was still daytime when they came back, so Lucia didn’t feel anything when Xia Li turned on the light.
Now that the light was suddenly turned off, Lucia hadn’t even reacted yet.
“Amazing!” Lucia’s eyes widened.
“Instant magic that doesn’t require chanting can actually change the surrounding environment silently!!”
“I told you it’s not magic…” Xia Li rubbed his forehead and explained again, “This is the light switch, just press here to switch the operating state of the light bulb.”
“Not only the light in the living room, but also the lights in the kitchen and bathroom are all controlled by these small switches.”
In order to demonstrate for Lucia, Xia Li personally turned the lights in the kitchen and bathroom on and off again.
Lucia had never seen this kind of human invention before, the magic lamps in Azure Continent were much more troublesome than this, whether turning them on or off required lengthy chanting.
“…Do you want to try it?”
Looking at the evil dragon’s wide eyes, Xia Li took the initiative to invite her.
Lucia wouldn’t refuse such a good opportunity, she walked over in her oversized flip-flops.
“Like this?”
Carefully extending her finger to poke the switch, Lucia quickly retracted her finger as if afraid of being electrocuted.
Then she exclaimed ‘Wow’ and looked up in surprise.
After a faint electrical sound, the warm yellow light bulb lit up, it burned like a sun above Lucia’s head.
Lucia looked up at it.
◈◈◈
Compared to the shock of what she saw, Lucia was even more shocked by the wisdom of the humans in this world.
Humans could actually use electricity to this extent…
Not only that, Xia Li said that every household here had running water and a complete sewage system.
Intricate pipes connected from the first floor to the seventh floor, and in the case of high-rise buildings, they could even go up to forty or fifty floors…
What a complex and magnificent project that must be!
If dragons were even one percent as hardworking as humans, they would at least have paved their lairs with tiles!
The turning on of the light kept Lucia mesmerized for a full sixty seconds.
It was about a minute later that Lucia finally looked away from the ceiling.
When Lucia looked at Xia Li again, she found that a luminous magic ball had inexplicably appeared on Xia Li’s face. Lucia reached out and rubbed the air, and found that the ball of light appeared on the back of her hand again.
Lucia looked down, and now there were balls of light on her feet too.
Just as she was about to squat down and touch the back of her foot, Xia Li grabbed the back of her collar.
“This is visual persistence, the same principle as the afterimage produced after staring at the sun for a long time.”
Xia Li twisted the silly dragon and walked towards the bathroom, reminding her as they walked.
“Don’t stare at it like that in the future, you’ll go blind.”
“Dragon race isn’t that fragile…”
Lucia didn’t understand what ‘visual persistence’ meant, but she knew that if you looked at the sun for too long, a sun would live in your eyes, she used to do this a lot when she was a dragon.
But unlike in dragon form, Lucia in human form was too fragile, even such a small light bulb could harm her.
Lucia tried closing her eyes and found that this visual persistence was indeed a bit scary for a dragon, even after so long, it still lingered in her eyes.
Maybe she really would go blind if she kept looking at it.
“Don’t take a shower tonight, I don’t have any clothes for you to change into.
I’ll show you how to use the bathroom now… This is the toilet, you know how to use a toilet, right?”
Arriving at the bathroom, Xia Li began to introduce Lucia to the most basic common sense.
But he quickly realized that the evil dragon should be seeing a toilet for the first time.
So he sat down on it with his pants on and demonstrated.
“When you want to use it, sit down like this, but take off your pants first… Remember to press the flush button here after you’re done.”
As Xia Li spoke, he pressed the flush button on the toilet. As the siphon effect started to work, the huge suction force instantly emptied the water in the toilet, and then gurgled out again.
Lucia, who was standing aside, was dumbfounded.
Water, water magic?
Listening to the sound of the suction… It should be almost at the sixth level or above!
Lucia looked excitedly at the metal button.
The human world was truly magical, full of strange buttons, especially the remote control Xia Li showed her earlier, with dozens of buttons that made Lucia dizzy.
“Didn’t you say you have to take off your pants before sitting on it? Why didn’t you take off your pants?”
Lucia retracted her gaze and looked at Xia Li’s supposedly bare bottom.
Xia Li was scalded by the evil dragon’s burning gaze and stood up to make sure his butt wasn’t exposed.
“I’m demonstrating for you.”
“Then should I take off my pants?”
“Take them off when you go… And don’t take them off in front of me.” Xia Li said calmly.
No matter how evil the dragon was, in Xia Li’s eyes, Lucia was now an out-and-out human girl.
And the kind that was a bit naive, cute, and easily deceived.
Xia Li was considered a hot-blooded adult male, so he still had to avoid certain situations when necessary.
It’s impossible for someone to even dare to hit on a pure-blood giant dragon, right?
Probably not, right?
“Will there be tentacles or something reaching out from inside?”
Lucia was still curious about toilets in the human world.
She leaned her head over and looked around the suspicious ceramic toilet.
“What kind of strange thoughts are going through your head.”
Xia Li couldn’t help but complain, then pushed Lucia’s shoulder and pushed her out of the bathroom.
“I’ll wash up first, I’ll buy you toiletries tomorrow.
If you have nothing to do now, just go to bed first.”
Speaking of this, Xia Li glanced towards the balcony, not knowing if it was still raining outside.
“You sleep on the balcony… Is that okay?” Xia Li confirmed again.
“No problem.” Lucia muttered, being pushed out the door.
The bathroom door closed with a creak, and the sound of rushing water came from inside.
Lucia stood at the door, muttering to herself.
She was still curious about how humans usually took baths…
Why didn’t the Brave Hero show her?
