My Wife is an Evil Dragon-Chapter 43

Chapter 43: My Female Tenant
“Ah, what girlfriend, just a roommate.”
“The houses in our area are school district houses, very close to the university town. It’s just the start of the school year, isn’t it? Those freshmen who aren’t used to dormitory life are all looking for houses around here. It’s been a while since school started, and the surrounding rentals have long been saturated.”
“Xia Li’s house is a two-bedroom apartment. He hasn’t found a job yet, so it’s normal to rent out a room.”
“It is indeed a girl, but that girl is just… Oh, anyway, she’s not Xia Li’s type. I grew up with him, and I know he likes older sister types… Oh, the kind of girls with long legs, he likes that kind. That roommate has very short legs, not Xia Li’s target.”
“There won’t be any problems. Don’t you know Xia Li’s character, Mom? You used to praise him in front of me for his good studies and good character, and you used Old Xia to educate me every day, wishing you could reforge me into a smaller version of him. Why don’t you believe in Old Xia’s character now…”
“If he dares to lay a hand on that girl, I, I’ll eat a big pile of…”
“Hey, Mom, we can’t hit people while chatting… Just kidding, just kidding, I don’t eat that kind of stuff… Ouch, your stick hits so accurately!”
In the room, Fang Xia and Xia Yuanjun were squatting in front of the coffee table, holding a mobile phone.
After listening to this live voice call, the old couple’s expressions became solemn.
“Roommate? Do you believe that?”
Fang Xia turned off the phone call. Listening any further would be invading Xiao Tao’s privacy.
“My son… likes older sister type girlfriends?” Xia Yuanjun said thoughtfully.
Fang Xia reached out and hit him, “Can you say something useful!”
“I think this matter…” Xia Yuanjun changed his tone and sighed, “Forget it, why should we care so much? Whether it’s a roommate or a girlfriend, are we going to interfere?”
“I didn’t want to meddle in this kid’s affairs either,” Fang Xia’s voice softened a lot, mostly helplessness.
“Hey, why is this kid still hiding the fact that he’s dating? He’s a grown man!”
“Isn’t he just afraid of your overly enthusiastic nature?
Besides, Xia Li hasn’t even admitted to dating. What are we, as parents, getting anxious about…
I say, you shouldn’t go to the old house for a while, don’t scare the little girl.”
“How am I scary!”
Fang Xia was unhappy.
But it was just a verbal complaint. She had already typed a line of text on her phone, telling her neighbor Sister Zhao that she knew about the situation and would put it aside for now. She didn’t object to Xia Li having a female tenant.
◈◈◈
“Will anyone really like my story?”
Lucia Sivana, Xia Li’s newly recruited tenant, was sitting next to him, her bright eyes reflecting the fluorescent light from the computer screen.
Lucia was quite interested in Xia Li’s work.
Watching the paper people on the TV was too boring. Lucia had not yet grasped the joy of being a homebody in this modern society.
Mainly because she couldn’t stay idle…
In the past, when she was bored, she would choose to sleep, patrol her territory, fight monsters if there were any, or chase animals like sheep and cows if there were none.
In that world, she could always find different kinds of fun… But after coming to Earth, everything here was obviously new, but Lucia couldn’t find her own happiness.
Xia Li thought she just hadn’t been exposed to enough things.
It wasn’t that Lucia couldn’t find her own fun; she just hadn’t found her hobbies in this place called Earth, where entertainment was extremely abundant.
“Of course, people will like your story.”
Xia Li stopped typing, swiveling the chair under his butt to look at Lucia.
“Modern people are under a lot of pressure, and your story is lighthearted and fun… And you’re a native dragon. From your perspective, you can bring them a lot of joy.”
Hearing Xia Li say this, Lucia pursed her lips.
She was a little happy.
The story of her, a big evil dragon, could actually bring joy to humans?
It was simply unbelievable.
Xia Li turned back and continued working.
◈◈◈
He had written three chapters, totaling over ten thousand words, about Lucia’s story from hatching to becoming a young dragon.
If he hadn’t heard it from Lucia herself, Xia Li wouldn’t have believed that her growth story was so carefree.
After emerging from the dragon egg, she was directly at the top of the food chain. Her dragon mother would tear off fresh pieces of meat and throw them to the young dragon, then fly back to the nest to feed her every three to five days.
To ensure the young dragon’s healthy growth, the dragon mother chose the most nutritious beast meat.
The first few months after opening her eyes were when the young dragon grew the fastest.
When the young dragon’s wings became strong and powerful, and her fragile dragon scales began to become impenetrable, her dragon mother would use her nose to push her out of the nest.
A young dragon taking her first flight would never look back after leaving the nest. This was the dragon race’s innate desire for freedom. The young dragon would choose a place she liked during her first journey in life and occupy it alone.
However, Lucia was quite lucky.
Other young dragons would fight fiercely with their neighbors to get their first territory.
But Lucia went straight to a farmer’s manor and dug a hole next to it, covering the entrance with a pile of fresh grass.
Whenever the farmer herded his sheep, one or two of the thousands of sheep would always run to the grass pile at Lucia’s door to graze.
At this time, Lucia would catch them off guard, knock one unconscious with a claw, and then take the fat little sheep back to the depths of her nest to enjoy slowly.
The avant-garde evil dragon had understood what ‘waiting for a hare to run into a tree stump’ meant at a very young age.
If she hadn’t been greedy and accidentally eaten too much, causing the farmer to notice that there was something wrong with the number of sheep and then hire a team of adventurers to crusade against her, Lucia might have been able to live comfortably there for a few years.
Lucia felt a little regretful when she talked about this.
Xia Li listened, only feeling incredulous.
So this was the growth history of a pureblood silver dragon…
He thought it would be a story of narrow encounters and bloody battles, but it turned out to be purely based on lying flat.
“Xia Li, you just said that the humans in this world will like my story.”
Lucia, who had been staring at Xia Li working, suddenly spoke.
“Yes.” Xia Li nodded.
“Will they also like the story of an evil dragon doing bad things?”
“It’s just the survival rule of nature, it can’t be considered a bad thing.” Xia Li explained.
“Oh…”
Lucia thought about it carefully. She could never tell the difference between ‘good things’ and ‘bad things’. This kind of good and bad seemed to have always been decided by humans themselves.
“Then will Xia Li like my story?”
“Of course I like it.” Xia Li said without hesitation.
“If I didn’t like it, I wouldn’t have chosen to write your story.”
“Oh, oh…”
Lucia looked away from Xia Li’s focused side profile as he typed.
Suddenly she didn’t want to look at his face anymore…
And she felt a little nervous.
At this time, Lucia still didn’t know what ‘shyness’ was.
This emotion was only for girls. She was an evil dragon, how could she be shy!
