My Wife is an Evil Dragon-Chapter 22

Chapter 22: It Attacked Me!
There was silence in the living room for a few minutes.
Lucia sat on the chair, her hands resting on her knees.
She was still digesting the reasoning Xia Li had just given her, her solemn little face extremely serious, looking very much like a child listening attentively in class.
Xia Li sat opposite her, not in a hurry.
He reached out and opened the plastic bag he had bought from the supermarket, rummaging through the snacks inside.
Xia Li wasn’t picky about snacks. To him, these things were just something to add flavor to his mouth when he was idle, so buying snacks was basically a random grab from the shelves.
However, as a Sichuan native, spicy snacks were a must-have.
Holding a pack of Weilong spicy strips in his hand and about to open it, Xia Li remembered that this dragon was afraid of chili peppers.
Thinking of the scene where the gluttonous dragon would make herself cry from the spiciness, Xia Li hesitated.
Forget it, I’ll save the spicy crying scene for later.
Lucia had eaten bland food for most of her life. It wouldn’t be good if she got a stomachache from eating spicy strips right after arriving on Earth.
“Pssst…”
A dense bubbling sound echoed through the living room as a bottle of brown liquid was opened in Xia Li’s hand.
If you looked closely, you could see strings of small, unknown bubbles rising inside the transparent bottle.
“Damn, I shook it on the way back.”
The cola in Xia Li’s hand erupted like a volcano. He hurriedly stood up, caught the cap with his mouth, and grabbed a few tissues to hold the bottle.
Lucia was still thinking about her future plans.
She was wondering, since she couldn’t get what she wanted by ‘robbing,’ how should she get those things?
Now Xia Li only told her what she couldn’t do, but he didn’t tell her what she could do.
“…”
When Lucia heard the commotion from Xia Li, she silently raised her head.
Looking at the strange sauce-brown magic potion bubbling constantly, Lucia was stunned.
This thing…looked very dangerous.
If it were in Azure Continent, it would be a very high-level magic potion.
“Eh? Eh?”
Watching Xia Li drink more than half the bottle in one gulp, Lucia anxiously put her dangling feet back on the ground.
Slipping her feet into her fish-mouth slippers, Lucia took two steps to stand in front of Xia Li, her little face completely pale.
“You you…”
“Xia Li, are you okay?”
Lucia didn’t understand human emotions yet. She didn’t know what worry was, what anxiety was.
All she knew now was that Xia Li was her long-term meal ticket.
If something happened to Xia Li, Lucia would definitely not be able to survive on her own.
She didn’t want to be that…what was it…traffic dragon.
“Cough cough cough…”
Xia Li covered his mouth and nose, coughing continuously, brown liquid staining his hands.
Because he hadn’t had carbonated drinks for so long, his body couldn’t handle the stimulation, and because he drank it so quickly, Xia Li almost choked to death.
Lucia was pacing anxiously beside him. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and squatted down, wrapping her arms around Xia Li’s thighs.
Xia Li felt his body lighten. Lucia had actually lifted him up!
How strong was this guy?!
“Xia Li, do a handstand!”
“When our dragon race eats the wrong thing, we induce vomiting by turning our bodies upside down!” Lucia said hurriedly.
Xia Li was already tall, and after being lifted up by Lucia like this, his head rubbed directly against the dining room light.
“Wait, wait!”
“A handstand is head down, not feet up!!!”
With the swaying light fixture above his head and the hot light bulb brushing against his hair, Xia Li was amused as he looked at Lucia’s worried little face below him.
“Put me down, this thing is a drink!”
“Drink?”
Another new word.
Lucia pondered in her mind. In Azure Continent, it seemed that there was also the term ‘drink.’
Humans would squeeze fresh fruits and vegetables into juice and sell it. Lucia had drunk it a few times when she pretended to be a human and went to the city to play.
However, that kind of drink didn’t have strange bubbles.
◈◈◈
“Are you really okay?”
Lucia still had her arms wrapped around Xia Li’s thighs, looking up at him with her clear amber eyes.
Seeing that Xia Li really stopped coughing, she put him down.
Xia Li’s feet touched the ground, still secretly surprised.
Lucia’s small arms, he could grab two with one hand, but such arms could actually lift him up?
If she threw a deliberate punch, wouldn’t she send Xia Li flying?
Fortunately, this guy only had a problem with her worldview, not her personality. Otherwise, if she was as irritable as the red dragon, they would be fighting all day long.
“Carbonated drinks, Earthlings’ favorite.”
Catching his breath, Xia Li picked up the cola on the table and solemnly introduced it to the dragon who had never seen the world.
“Why drink such a dangerous thing?”
Lucia was a little wary of the drink in Xia Li’s hand.
And, it didn’t look very tasty.
“Want to try it?” Xia Li opened the cap and handed it out.
Lucia looked suspiciously at Xia Li, then at the drink in the bottle.
Seeing that Xia Li drank so much and was fine, Lucia finally let down her guard.
She brought the bottle close to her nose and sniffed. There was a faint sweetness and vanilla scent.
Lucia’s eyes lit up, and she took a small sip, holding the bottle with both hands.
“How is it?”
Xia Li was very curious about the dragon’s reaction to drinking a carbonated drink for the first time.
Lucia smacked her lips.
“Xia Li…”
“Hmm?”
“This drink…is attacking me.”
Lucia had a hard time describing the tingling sensation on her tongue. She just felt like her mouth was being attacked by the drink.
“…” Xia Li was holding back his laughter.
The dignified dragon was actually attacked by a drink?
“Then you attack back.” He said seriously.
Lucia didn’t hesitate. She imitated Xia Li’s previous method and put the red round cap back on the bottle.
After twisting it twice and closing the cap, Lucia hugged the bottle and started shaking it up and down.
Xia Li calmly watched her.
To the dragon, this should be the only way she could think of to attack.
“Shaking the bottle will increase the release rate of carbon dioxide inside, and the pressure here will increase.”
Xia Li felt that the silly dragon definitely wouldn’t understand this, so he said it another way.
“After you shake it like this, the drink inside will have a wonderful reaction.
Bring your head closer, and it will show you something magical in a moment.”
“Something magical?”
Lucia, who had just arrived on Earth, was a curious baby. She was full of curiosity about everything here.
As long as it was something Xia Li asked her to try, she was willing to give it a shot.
To better witness the wonderful reaction in the bottle, Lucia held the bottle in her arms and slowly opened the cap.
Xia Li beside her was already prepared with a pack of tissues in his hand.
“Pssst!!!”
The gushing cola poured all over Lucia’s forehead.
Lucia froze, and before she could open her eyes, Xia Li’s big hand holding the tissues reached out and gave her a motherly face wipe.
Vaguely, Lucia could hear the brave hero Xia Li making a strange choking laughter.
“Hahahaha…”
“Ugh…Xia Li!!” Lucia said in a trembling voice.
“It attacked me again!!”
