My Wife is an Evil Dragon-Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Tricking her back to give birth to little dragons
Lucia, whose name had been called, stopped in her tracks.
After seeing the Brave Hero Xia Li waving at her, she thought for a moment and then turned back.
The roads in this place were so strange. Those square metal boxes moved extremely fast and didn’t even look where they were going. She almost sent several of them flying on her way back.
That’s right, she almost sent cars flying.
Lucia had absolute confidence in her physique.
“What’s up!”
Ignoring the red traffic light, Lucia trotted back to Xia Li.
If she hadn’t known that her swordsmanship was no match for the Brave Hero, Lucia would have definitely beaten Xia Li to the ground right here and then threatened him to hand over more food.
“Are you full?” Xia Li’s brows furrowed slightly, feigning concern.
“Of course not.”
Lucia nodded. At this point, she still had no idea what kind of trap the Brave Hero was about to lead her into.
“Well… then I have a suggestion. How about we call a truce for now?” Xia Li said with a friendly expression.
Lucia glanced at Xia Li, still maintaining a high level of vigilance towards him.
As everyone knows, a Brave Hero would never be nice to an Evil Dragon for no reason.
For example, Xia Li had just helped her buy bread, and the price she had to pay was a small piece of beautiful metal.
So now, Xia Li suddenly proposed a truce, so what he wanted to get was…
“What do you want…?”
Lucia tilted her head slightly, pondering.
She had nothing on her now, and her body couldn’t transform into a dragon at all. She should be completely worthless in Xia Li’s eyes.
“I don’t want anything. I just want to take you back and keep you,” Xia Li said helplessly.
If possible, Xia Li didn’t want to get involved in such troublesome matters.
But if he let this Evil Dragon go, she would definitely be taken to the police station.
Whether it was grabbing food in public or casting magic spells like a crazy person, all of Lucia’s actions were seen as “mental illness” in this society, not to mention that she was also holding a kitchen knife.
It was likely she’d be rewarded with a pair of silver handcuffs in no time.
After considering all factors, Xia Li felt that instead of alerting the police and having them trace it back to him, it was better to take the initiative and appease this problematic Evil Dragon.
In short, he would temporarily keep her at home for a few days while he explored the possibility of sending Lucia back to Azure Continent.
If that didn’t work, he would teach her how to survive in the modern world and then let her go.
“Why do you want to keep me?”
Lucia shrank back. The fine rain in the sky was falling like catkins. She wrapped the Little Yellow Duck shawl on her head even tighter.
Could it be that this Brave Hero had some special nurturing fetish?
Thinking of this, Lucia’s eyes narrowed slightly.
She remembered that in Azure Continent, many powerful humans liked to play this kind of nurturing game. They would take young dragons who were still in their juvenile stage home and spend three generations and hundreds of years raising them into adult dragons. Then, they would coax the adult dragons to transform into human form and give birth to their children.
The bloodlines of humans and dragons could be blended. Although the offspring wouldn’t be as powerful as pure-blooded giant dragons, as humans with dragon blood, their physique and comprehension of magic would far surpass ordinary people.
Therefore, for some human nobles who didn’t have high requirements for bloodline inheritance, they were willing to spend a lot of time mixing their family’s bloodline with that of dragons.
And this Brave Hero Xia Li in front of her must be trying to trick her into having mixed-blood offspring!
He wanted her to bear his dragon babies!
Xia Li wouldn’t even need to spend much time on nurturing, because according to the dragon’s age calculation, Lucia was just an adult and already met the breeding requirements!
Thinking that she couldn’t transform into a dragon now, and the pure-blooded giant dragon blood flowing in her body was the only valuable thing she had, Lucia was even more certain of her guess.
“What do you want to do to me?”
Lucia clutched the Little Yellow Duck shawl on her body, her amber eyes slightly raised, warily looking Xia Li up and down.
“Don’t misunderstand, I don’t have any other intentions,”
Seeing that Lucia’s gaze towards him had changed from looking at an “enemy” to looking at a “pervert,” Xia Li knew that the Evil Dragon’s guess must have gone completely astray, so he quickly corrected her.
“Letting you go would be a danger to society, so I decided to take you home and keep you, which is equivalent to fulfilling my duty as a Brave Hero, reducing harm to society.”
◈◈◈
“Not to trick me into giving birth to dragon babies?”
“You wish,” Xia Li chuckled. “I’m a Dragon Slayer, not a Dragon Knight. I don’t have that kind of fetish.”
Lucia stared straight into Xia Li’s eyes, trying to see any lies in them.
Most dragons had a certain degree of sixth sense, and Lucia was a pure-blooded Silver Dragon.
She didn’t see any lies or deception in Xia Li’s eyes.
This Brave Hero was actually serious?
“…So that’s how it is.”
Lucia fell silent for a moment.
What Xia Li said made some sense.
If Xia Li let her go here, she would definitely go and steal humans’ bread.
Xia Li was currently bound by the rules of human society in this area and couldn’t kill her, but he could keep her under surveillance.
Instead of letting her go and steal humans’ bread, it was better to restrict her range of activities… This was the only solution for Xia Li at the moment.
Lucia didn’t mind. Evil Dragons were the most tolerant of loneliness. As long as she didn’t go hungry, she could live anywhere.
As for Xia Li calling her a “danger,” Lucia didn’t mind at all.
On the contrary, the more Xia Li said she was a menace, the happier she felt.
It was a matter of pride for a proud dragon to be feared by humans!
“Then, I agree to a truce with you,” Lucia nodded and said.
Anyway, she couldn’t use magic now. Even if she wanted to fight the Brave Hero for three hundred rounds, it would most likely be a one-sided beating. It was better to agree to him for now.
“If I go to your house, will you provide food?” Lucia asked.
“Yes.”
“Then promise me first that you won’t kill me… Of course, I also promise you that I won’t eat you.”
“I won’t kill you. I said we’d have a truce, so I definitely won’t attack.”
“Swear it!”
“Then you swear too.”
Xia Li looked down at this short Evil Dragon.
And the Evil Dragon also looked up at him with her small face.
Then, both of them crossed their arms over their chests at the same time ━ this was the customary gesture for swearing to the Goddess in Azure Continent.
Xia Li and Lucia swore to each other, vowing that neither would attack the other.
The sky was still drizzling. The two of them stood at the intersection and made their vows, with pedestrians holding umbrellas hurrying past on both sides.
A few curious gazes peeked out from under the pedestrians’ umbrellas, and Xia Li unconsciously straightened his back, suddenly feeling like he was under scrutiny.
Compared to his embarrassment, Lucia beside him seemed particularly relaxed.
The contract was established.
She had inexplicably picked up a long-term meal ticket. Wasn’t that great?
Although she didn’t know where this was, and she didn’t know why she suddenly lost her magic power… but having food to eat was enough to make Lucia feel content.
Evil Dragons were optimists. This kind of go-with-the-flow personality meant their dragon lives rarely had any major ups and downs.
Looking at her delighted little face, Xia Li felt a headache coming on from this cheap Evil Dragon he had picked up for 48.5 yuan.
With his current financial situation, he definitely couldn’t afford to keep Lucia.
The gold coins he had just scammed from the convenience store would be considered Lucia’s meal money for this period.
Of course, if this Evil Dragon could cough up more gold coins, then they could also improve their meals a bit.
