Chapter 49: The Evil Dragon Wants to Pack the Hero Up and Take Him Away
“Xia Li, you… you need to be gentler…”
“It hurts…”
Under the dual magic of the hairdryer and comb, the evil dragon Lucia finally triggered the defeat CG, closing her eyes in resignation in the hands of the hero Xia Li, pleading bitterly.
“Why do you have so much hair?” Xia Li complained.
He kind of regretted volunteering just now.
First of all, he rarely blow-dried his own hair.
Secondly, this was the first time he had blow-dried a girl’s hair.
Not only did he need to prevent the hair from getting tangled while blowing, but he also had to pay attention to the technique of blowing from top to bottom and from the inside out during the process.
If he had known that the technical content was so high, he should have pretended to be an expert and kept quiet from the beginning.
“Buzz… Buzz…”
The noisy wind in the room sounded intermittently. After tossing and turning at the bedside for more than half an hour, Xia Li went on strike along with the hairdryer.
“It’s about time.” Xia Li put the hairdryer away.
This amount of hair… always gave Xia Li the feeling of having washed Chen Tao’s dog.
Lucia knelt on the bed sheet, motionless. Her cascading blue silk flowed over her shoulders, revealing a small patch of fair, pink neck.
Since Xia Li started blowing her hair, a meaningful smile had been on her small face.
The pain was real.
But the enjoyment was also real.
She, Lucia Sivana, never thought that one day she would be able to order the hero Xia Li to be her manservant.
——In Azure Continent, young men who blow-dried hair for young ladies like this were usually either fiancés or manservants.
Hehehe…
Unexpectedly, this famous human hero has also been reduced to such a state, hehehe…
“Hmm.”
Just as Lucia was lost in her thoughts, a warm water cup was slapped on her soft cheek.
“Have some water and go to sleep.”
“Oh…”
After handing the cup to Lucia, Xia Li went to take a shower again.
The previous tossing and turning had made him sweat profusely.
After finishing the water, Lucia put the cup on the bedside table and burrowed back into the quilt.
Xia Li’s hair-drying skills were terrible, making Lucia’s hair look like a chicken coop.
But Lucia didn’t mind. She shrank her neck, her head was warm from the previous warm wind, and the quilt in front of her nose was filled with Xia Li’s scent.
Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, the extinguished electric light, and the sleeping city night sky.
Lucia suddenly had a special feeling.
This feeling was as if she had gone on a long trip, and then suddenly remembered that the ribs in her nest hadn’t been gnawed clean, the flock of sheep outside the cave must have gotten fatter, and the fish in the lake could be fried again…
The intertwined thoughts made Lucia’s calm mood become messy. The dim room and the distant lights overlapped with the grassland in her memory, and everything around her became more and more unfamiliar.
This place, it must be very, very far from Azure Continent…
Xia Li said that Earth is a planet, and Azure Continent is also a planet.
In the vast universe, the distance between planets, calculated solely by the speed of light, would take many years to travel.
Xia Li also said, if there was a ship that could sail on and on…
Maybe, after thousands, tens of thousands, millions of years… she could return to Azure Continent.
Can she really go back?
Back to that familiar but utterly lonely world…
“Finished drinking?”
Lucia muffled her nose, her head filled with random thoughts.
At this time, Xia Li came out of the bathroom.
He came to the bedside table to take away the water cup.
Looking at the empty cup, he nodded with satisfaction.
“There’s no milk at home, I’ll buy you milk to mix with it next time… You should still have room to grow, maybe you can grow taller.”
“Oh…”
Lucia listened to Xia Li’s low but somewhat gentle voice and nodded lightly.
It was all Xia Li’s fault for always using this kind of dragon-heart-bewitching gentle tone when talking to her, causing Lucia to agree to everything in a daze every time.
“Xia Li…”
Xia Li turned to leave, but Lucia’s hand reached out from under the quilt and grabbed his clothes.
◈◈◈
“What’s wrong?”
In the unlit room, the dim streetlights were reflected from the curtains, illuminating Lucia’s delicate and three-dimensional facial features.
“Do you think I can still go back?” Lucia asked softly.
She was like a lost kitten, pulling on a human’s trousers and cautiously asking where her home was.
Unfortunately, her home was very far away, so far away that even if humans built a perpetual motion spacecraft, it would be impossible to send her home.
Lucia’s mood now was not sad or depressed, she was probably just homesick.
Xia Li thought this guy’s optimistic attitude would make her live a carefree life.
But this carefree attitude was only temporarily distracted by the fresh things around her. When she calmed down again, the land in her memory would make her nostalgic.
The evil dragon was not a heartless evil dragon, she also had her own feelings and memories like humans.
It’s just that their understanding of feelings was still in its infancy.
For example, Lucia now, she didn’t even realize that her current feeling was a kind of longing.
“You want to go home?” Xia Li asked back.
Upon hearing this, Lucia couldn’t help but recall the last time she left her nest, the spring water seeping out from the rock wall, the beam of sunlight falling from the gap above her head.
Then, Lucia nodded seriously.
“If I go back, will Xia Li go back with me?”
“Me?”
Xia Li was surprised.
The first thing this evil dragon wanted to do when she went back was to pack him up and take him away.
“I originally belong to Earth.” Xia Li replied.
Lucia was slightly taken aback.
Oh, she remembered.
Xia Li had told her that this was Earth, this was his hometown.
Xia Li had already returned home when he returned to Earth, so how could there be a saying of “going back”?
Xia Li definitely wouldn’t go with her.
Thinking about it this way, she didn’t seem to be in such a hurry to go back…
“Since magic can send us back to Earth, there must be magic that can send you back.”
Xia Li paused and then said, “By the way, when I went to Azure Continent from Earth, I was summoned by magic…
Theoretically speaking, if someone casts a summoning spell on you, you might be able to go back.
It’s just that this kind of magic was invented by humans, and the humans over there wouldn’t consume a lot of resources to summon a silver dragon…”
Speaking of this, Xia Li held the restless little hand that was tugging at his clothes and comforted her.
“Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out together.”
“No rush, no rush…”
Lucia quickly withdrew her hand and burrowed back into the quilt.
Hmm? What was she thinking just now?
After being coaxed by Xia Li’s gentle words and then suddenly having her claws grabbed in a sneak attack, her mind went blank.
Oh right, Xia Li said he wouldn’t go back with her…
“Actually, I’m not in a hurry to go back either!” Lucia said loudly.
“Since you also went to Azure Continent alone and adapted to the environment there so quickly… I can definitely do it too.”
“Besides, there are so many fun things on Earth that I haven’t had enough of yet, I’m definitely not in a hurry to go back!”
Xia Li didn’t know if Lucia was telling the truth.
Her voice did get a lot louder, clearly trying to embolden herself.
“If it doesn’t rain tomorrow, I’ll take you to the zoo.” Xia Li said.
Go to the zoo and let Lucia see the species on Earth.
By the way, there was one more thing Xia Li wanted to confirm.
“Zoo…?”
Lucia’s dragon life had another new word.
She excitedly lifted the quilt from her face, revealing a flushed little face.
“I want to go!”
