My Wife is an Evil Dragon-Chapter 28

Chapter 28: How Can You Bully a Dragon Like This?
After seeing Old Xia off, Xia Li continued to teach Lucia how to use basic household appliances like the washing machine, air conditioner, and television.
The washing machine is a combination of wind magic and water magic, the air conditioner is ice magic and fire magic, and the television is a recording crystal ball…
If Xia Li only told Lucia the names, she would have difficulty remembering them.
So Xia Li translated it into a way that Lucia’s thinking could easily understand.
Just after introducing how to use the rice cooker, Xia Li’s phone in his pocket started vibrating.
“You cook the rice.” Xia Li decided to let Lucia practice.
He took his phone and went to the living room.
The phone showed a WeChat message from Fang Xia.
Mrs. Fang: Son, is something wrong?
Looking at this line of text, Xia Li was a bit confused.
What could be wrong with him?
Could it be that his mom could see what was happening here from afar?
Summer Dawn: I’m fine.
Mrs. Fang: You must be in love.
Fang Xia’s reply popped up quickly.
She didn’t care what Xia Li said.
Fang Xia’s usual style was to read and reply randomly.
Mrs. Fang: Your dad just told me.
Fang Xia sent another message.
Summer Dawn: Impossible.
Xia Li’s “impossible” had two main meanings.
One was that it was impossible for him to be in love.
The other was that it was impossible for Old Xia to tell Fang Xia that he was in love.
When Old Xia left, Xia Li even looked at his expression specifically.
Old Xia was the type of person who would write his thoughts on his face, and any subtle micro-expressions could be easily seen by others.
But today, Old Xia was obviously very normal.
Mrs. Fang: It’s normal for you to be in love at your age.
Mrs. Fang: When will you bring her home for Mom to see?
Summer Dawn: Mom, I’m really not in love.
Mrs. Fang: I saw what you bought for her, are you living together? Was your trip last week really a trip?
Fang Xia’s three consecutive questions made Xia Li’s head spin.
How did it get exposed?
He had obviously done it so flawlessly.
Xia Li’s gaze swept around the living room, and soon, he saw the bag of Lucia’s undergarments he bought at the mall this morning.
His eyes fixed, and Xia Li suddenly remembered that Old Xia took a picture of him when he came home.
At that time, the angle of the photo was just enough to capture the plastic bag.
With Fang Xia’s eagle-sharp eyes…
Xia Li slapped his forehead.
It seemed like he had been found out.
Even if Xia Li admitted that he was in love, the old couple wouldn’t object.
They just wanted to be excited.
After all, Xia Li had never brought a girl home before.
According to his mom Fang Xia’s personality, she was probably already discussing names for grandchildren with Old Xia on the other end of the phone.
Summer Dawn: Mom, this matter… is a long story.
Summer Dawn: I’ll tell you when I get a chance.
Mrs. Fang: Mom doesn’t have much to say, just to remind you of one thing.
Mrs. Fang: Minors are not allowed.
Xia Li: “…”
How is she a minor?!
He didn’t know what kind of nonsense Old Xia had told Xiao Xia after he went back!
Xia Li struggled for a while but didn’t think about it anymore.
He put his phone in his pocket and went back to the kitchen.
Lucia had already started cooking the rice, and Xia Li asked her where she had filled the water level to.
“Here.”
Lucia raised her little finger and showed Xia Li a section of her finger.
This, how could this gesture be so insulting?
“That should be right.” Xia Li said calmly.
This was the rice cooking technique he had just taught her.
Control the water level in the rice cooker to the length of a finger section, so that the cooked rice would be moderately soft and hard.
“Now I’ll teach you how to cook, you watch from the side, learn a little if you can,” Xia Li said.
◈◈◈
“If you can cook in the future, I’ll pay you according to the difficulty of each dish. When you can make a sumptuous dinner, you can earn dozens of yuan for a meal.”
“Dozens…” Lucia’s eyes lit up.
Since Xia Li had said so, she would definitely learn seriously.
However, when she saw Xia Li reach into the kitchen sink to grab the fish, Lucia still flinched.
Xia Li remembered buying a carp at the supermarket in the morning.
He also bought tofu and baby bok choy, planning to make a bowl of carp and tofu soup.
During the three years in the other world, Xia Li had cooked a few times, but due to the harsh conditions, the cooking methods were either stewing or roasting.
Stewed fish was one of the main dishes in Azure Continent, so Xia Li was quite good at making it.
Just as he scooped the carp out of the sink, Xia Li felt something was wrong.
He clearly remembered that the carp he bought was healthy and intact, and was still alive and kicking when he got home…
How could it be so listless after only a few hours? He had been keeping the tap dripping to oxygenate the carp.
Xia Li turned the carp over in confusion.
As he turned it over, his eyes became dull.
On the left side of the carp, just above the fin… there was a clear wound.
Pinkish-white flesh, along with scales, had been torn off and was hanging from the carp in a precarious manner.
And, looking at the wound.
It looked like a bite from teeth.
“…”
Xia Li looked at Lucia with suspicion.
Lucia had her back to him, staring intently at the rice cooker in the corner.
“Gurgling…”
The rice cooker was bubbling.
“Lucia.”
“Hmm, hmm? ”
Lucia didn’t turn around, and when Xia Li called her name, her shoulders visibly trembled.
“Why is this fish missing a piece of meat?”
Xia Li shook the dying carp in his hand.
Lucia said without turning her head: “Maybe, maybe it was bitten by a mouse.”
“There are no mice in my house.”
Xia Li put the carp on the cutting board and gave it a quick end.
Cutting off the precariously hanging piece of meat, Xia Li began to descale and gill the fish.
Lucia didn’t dare to turn around, only silently leaving Xia Li with her back.
After a moment of silence, Xia Li suddenly asked another question.
“How was it, does raw fish on Earth taste good?”
“Not good.”
Lucia answered subconsciously, “It’s too fishy, and there are scales…”
As she spoke, Lucia realized something was wrong.
So she closed her mouth and didn’t continue.
Well, well, what a despicable Brave Hero!
Actually tricking her into talking!
How can you bully a dragon like this?!
“You used to eat fish by swallowing it raw in one bite?”
“Ye… yes.” Lucia said with a little grievance.
“Then you probably can’t eat raw food on Earth, human taste buds can’t accept that kind of fishy smell.”
Xia Li raised his knife and brought it down, the silver-gray carp was quickly gutted and its body sliced into countless flower cuts.
Xia Li’s swordsmanship…
Very smooth when cutting fish, probably also very smooth when cutting dragons.
Somehow, looking at the cuts, Lucia felt a phantom pain in her missing silver dragon tail.
Phantom limb pain.
If she had been caught by Xia Li in Azure Continent, she would probably have been slaughtered like this fish.
“Xia Li, I won’t eat raw fish anymore…”
“Can, can you be gentler with your knife? It hurts to watch.”
