My Wife is an Evil Dragon – Chapter 132

Chapter 132: The Delicate Little Dragon

Chen Tao and the others came out of the amusement park earlier than Xia Li had expected.

It was said that the queues inside were too long, and they planned to come back another time on a weekday when there were fewer people.

The area outside the amusement park was even livelier in the afternoon than in the morning.

The small vendors around the perimeter were crowded with people, especially in front of an archery shop, where many people stopped to watch the excitement.

“Awesome.”

Chen Tao exclaimed with his mouth wide open, stuffing a bag of potato chips into his mouth.

“Boss Xia, where did you go to practice this?”

At this moment, the owner of the archery shop was sweating profusely.

In this cold December, beads of sweat dripped down his forehead like rain.

The owner frequently wiped his forehead with his clothes, fearing that the young man in front of him would hit another bullseye.

However, the goddess of fortune did not favor him.

The young man pulled the longbow, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Those sharp eyes were hardly something a modern young man should possess.

“Whoosh~!”

A strong whistling sound of wind passed by, and another arrow hit the bullseye.

“…Too accurate.” Fu Yuan also shook his head and clicked his tongue.

“With this accuracy, it’s easy to hit the soul with one shot, right?”

“You better be talking about archery.”

“What else could I be talking about besides archery?”

Chen Tao and Fu Yuan looked at each other, then both smiled knowingly.

The tacit understanding between boys was all unspoken.

“Continue.”

After shooting the last arrow, Xia Li put down the bow and let out a sigh of relief.

He hadn’t touched this kind of thing for too long, and his hands were itching for more.

Previously in the other world, he trained with hundreds of shots every day, but now after fifty or sixty shots, his shoulders were starting to ache.

Xia Li felt that he had to maintain his hard-earned physique, otherwise, if he returned to the sickly state of modern young people, he might really develop into what Lucia said, “You have a bad back.”

A bad back?

What a joke!

How could a Brave Hero have a bad back?

Unless the opponent was a dragon race with stronger physical stats than him…

Thinking of this, Xia Li pulled the longbow full again.

Anyway, exercise first, lest he suffer later.

“Whoosh——!”

Another bucket of arrows was handed over by the stall owner.

The stall owner had a respectful look on his face, and his cautious eyes seemed to convey a body language to Xia Li that said, “Young man, that’s enough,” and “I surrender, please spare me.”

However, Xia Li was indifferent, only focusing on practicing archery.

The owner shook his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel.

“Is this your friend?”

He turned to the two young men behind the archery guy and asked.

These two had been loudly discussing the archery guy’s personal matters since just now, and judging from the explosive topic, their relationship must be unusual.

“Yeah.” Chen Tao nodded.

“Help me persuade him…” the owner said with a bitter face.

“How can I persuade him? Everyone is here to have fun,” Chen Tao said cheerfully, “Boss, there are so many people watching, you have to be a good loser.”

“I know, I know…” The middle-aged owner wiped his sweat awkwardly again.

He could only be thankful that he didn’t follow the other scenic spot shooting stalls and create some gimmick of a special prize, otherwise, the expert he encountered today would definitely have bankrupted him.

The bullseye of his stall wasn’t as tricky, the bullseye area was very spacious, considering that the tourists who came to play were basically children, so the difficulty was reduced a lot.

But because of this, the first prize reward was also very ordinary.

A remote-controlled airplane that looked very cool, the purchase price was about 200 yuan.

Xia Li played a full ten rounds, a total of 100 arrows.

This bow was quite heavy, made of metal, and felt particularly good in the hand.

“Go choose your reward.”

Xia Li patted Lucia, who was watching the show while eating grilled sausage next to him.

At the next stall, the boyfriend was playing the claw machine for his girlfriend, and the girl was still cheering him on. When the boy succeeded, he would get a sweet kiss from the girl.

Looking at himself here, it was too shabby.

Lucia was a blockhead.

Apart from praising “Xia Li is so cool,” there was nothing else.

“Boss, you don’t have enough remote-controlled airplanes here, we played ten rounds, you have to bring out ten planes.”

Chen Tao teased the stall owner next to him, whose face had turned livid.

There were too many tourists watching around the stall, and many voices were discussing this matter, and some people were even recording videos and posting them online.

The owner was under great pressure and could only bite the bullet and say:

“If you want the planes… I’ll go and buy nine more tomorrow, you can come and pick them up tomorrow. Don’t worry, this is a fixed stall, I definitely won’t run away…”

The owner was burly, but his voice was extraordinarily cautious.

“No need, we’ll just take two.”

Xia Li didn’t want to make things difficult for the owner, and said casually.

Lucia, who was walking towards him, only chose a second prize plush doll and a crystal bottle that was almost at the consolation prize level.

This dragon wasn’t greedy at all, she wasn’t interested in the boy’s toys on the prize shelf at all.

Seeing this, the owner patted his thigh and quickly said: “Oh, how can this be… You won, I won’t deny it.”

“I’ll scan you.” Xia Li took out his mobile phone to scan the QR code.

The owner reached out and stopped him: “No, no, forget the money. Thank you, young man, you can take the things, and take these two bottles of water too.”

Xia Li smiled and didn’t bother being polite to the owner. He threw a bottle of drink to Chen Tao.

“That’s impressive, I thought you were going to take him down, but I didn’t expect you to just freeload.”

Chen Tao looked around, the admiring gazes from the passers-by made his back straighten up a bit.

“When did you practice this? My mom told me that your mom said you were working out some time ago? How come I didn’t know about this? Weren’t you busy having an online relationship with Little Lu some time ago?”

“…”

Peach was chattering in Xia Li’s ear, his clumsy language organization skills made Xia Li’s head spin.

“Hey, you know…”

Chen Tao nudged Xia Li’s arm with his elbow again and glanced back at Zhou Anqi and Fu Yuan who were following behind.

Both of them were wearing black-rimmed glasses, talking about something in a gentle manner, looking quite compatible.

“They… I think there’s something going on between them.” Chen Tao said mysteriously.

“Oh?”

Xia Li became interested and leaned over to ask Peach, “Tell me more.”

“It was when we were riding the roller coaster,” Chen Tao lowered his voice, “The roller coaster has two seats in a row, right? They were sitting in front of me, and I’m pretty sure that when the roller coaster reached the top, their hands were holding each other.”

As he spoke, Chen Tao clamped the water bottle under his armpit and used his left hand to hold his right hand, making a gesture for Xia Li.

“The kind that interlocks fingers.” Chen Tao added.

“You know, we grew up together, I think it’s normal to hold hands when we’re scared, but there’s no need to interlock fingers, right?… Also, at lunch, they ate the same plate of fried noodles! I think there’s a big problem with all of this.”

“I think there’s a problem too.” Xia Li nodded.

This morning, Yuan Zi arrived at Zhou Anqi’s house one step ahead of him, and he was holding a bag of breakfast in his hand. He looked quite embarrassed when he saw Xia Li.

Obviously something was up.

“They shouldn’t be together yet.”

Xia Li looked back at the two people behind him.

Their state was very subtle, but there was still a lot of distance between their gestures, and the way they looked at each other could only be said to be more than friends, but not yet lovers.

If Xia Li guessed correctly, one of them must have expressed their feelings, but the other was still hesitant.

“It feels like they’re just one step away,” Chen Tao sighed, “We’ve been playing together for so many years, we know each other very well, so there’s nothing much to understand…”

“Tsk tsk, I didn’t expect them to spark, it must be the influence of your lovey-dovey atmosphere.”

“Huh? Give who a kick?”

At this moment, Lucia’s head popped out from beside Xia Li’s shoulder.

She had been eavesdropping while Xia Li and Chen Tao were whispering.

Although she didn’t hear most of it, Lucia knew they were talking about Zhou Anqi.

“Can you understand…”

Xia Li pulled the dragon claw over.

Unexpectedly, the evil dragon was quite gossipy, which was quite similar to ordinary girls.

“Of course I can understand!” The stubborn dragon insisted.

“Little Lu, why didn’t you take the remote-controlled airplane? The airplane is the most valuable thing here.” Chen Tao said with a smile.

“Airplane?”

◈◈◈

Lucia looked up at Xia Li’s expression.

She only knew about fat chickens, not airplanes.

“But the little stones in this bottle are so pretty…” She shook the small bottle in her hand.

“It’s okay, take what you like.” Xia Li pulled the dragon claw to his nose and sniffed.

Hmm, this time it smelled like grilled sausage.

Suddenly he kind of understood why Lucia always liked to smell him.

Not to mention dragons, even humans liked to smell it.

He wanted to kiss it while smelling it.

“Sister Anqi, this is for you.”

Zhou Anqi and Fu Yuan, who were lagging behind, caught up, one after the other, with half a body’s length of cautious distance between them.

One of Lucia’s small hands was being held by Xia Li, so she could only free her other hand and hand over the plush toy in her arms.

The plush toy was a brown bear, probably at a level of cuteness that no girl could refuse.

“Wow~ This is for me?”

“Yes, this is for you, one is enough for my house!”

Zhou Anqi was surprised. She knew that Lu Mei was straightforward, so she didn’t hesitate and gratefully accepted it.

“Thank you, Lu Mei, Mua~!”

“Hehe…”

Lucia pursed her lips and smiled secretly.

Every time she was praised by humans, she felt very happy.

Xia Li said that friends should help each other.

During this time, Zhou Anqi had been accompanying her, telling her stories about society, and teaching her how to dress and cook to capture Xia Li’s stomach…

Lucia was very grateful to Zhou Anqi.

But with her abilities, she couldn’t help Zhou Anqi much, so she could only give her the little bear to express her feelings.

This feeling of making friends…

It was very good for a dragon!

“Boss, it’s still early, we’re not in a hurry to go back, right?”

Fu Yuan quickened his pace and came to Xia Li’s side.

His tone was inquiring, but his eyes looking at Xia Li seemed to have another meaning.

Now Xia Li was the driver, whether to go back or not was up to him. Fu Yuan’s expression clearly meant he didn’t want to go back.

“Where do you want to go?” Xia Li asked.

Fu Yuan peeked at Zhou Anqi, who was still MuaMuaMua-ing with Lucia, before turning back to say.

“…Want to go to the haunted house?”

“No.” Chen Tao answered immediately.

Fu Yuan gave him a deep look: “Just do it for your buddy, are you going or not?”

Chen Tao closed his eyes, looking like he was dying: “D*mn it, fine, fine, fine.”

It was known that there were five people present.

Xia Li and Lucia were already a couple, Fu Yuan and Zhou Anqi were still in an ambiguous stage…

Then what was he?

He was a dog, right?

Don’t let the girls all cuddle up to their partners later, leaving him, a single dog, standing there foolishly.

However, since Fu Yuan had already said it to this extent, he couldn’t not help him in this situation.

◈◈◈

The haunted house was in a commercial building outside the amusement park.

This kind of small private place didn’t require an ID card, you could just order online, the price was fifty yuan per person.

It was called a haunted house, but it was actually more like an escape room with horror elements.

They queued for about half an hour.

The staff pushed the door open, and the four words “You can go in” made the hearts of the five people waiting outside jump to their throats.

Lucia heard the screams of humans inside before entering the house.

Although these screams were still mostly from girls, there were also quite a few men’s voices mixed in.

Xia Li said… the haunted house was just a small house with a mysterious atmosphere.

There were no real ghosts inside, it just looked scary, but it didn’t scare dragons.

Actually, even if there were real ghosts, it didn’t matter. As a giant dragon who went out on adventures from time to time, what kind of scenes hadn’t Lucia seen?

She had seen evil black magicians controlling ghosts, and those ghosts were real ghosts.

However, the attack power of ghosts was very weak, mainly targeting people’s minds, and the mental power of dragons was very strong, so they wouldn’t be shaken.

“Gulp…”

Lucia’s little tongue moved in her mouth, and she swallowed.

Xia Li just said it wouldn’t scare dragons.

But the things inside were clearly very scary for dragons!

In the ancient and dark mansion, red lanterns swayed, and strange human shadows danced on the mottled walls.

A woman in a traditional Chinese red wedding dress sat on a wooden chair. She was wearing a red veil, her skin was pale, and the old wooden chair beneath her was shaking under some unknown force, making a dull “creaking” sound.

Th-th-this…

Lucia hugged Xia Li’s arm.

She was very strong, almost pulling Xia Li’s sleeve off.

“Western horror is visual horror, Chinese horror is psychological horror… Now what we see is a combination of Chinese and Western styles. You listen carefully later, they will also play a background story for you, listening to this story is truly terrifying.”

Seeing Lucia so scared, Xia Li couldn’t help but find it funny.

This was a dragon who had lost her power?

A little scene could easily scare her.

Feeling the soft and painful touch between his arms, Xia Li felt both happy and sad.

It seemed that choosing the haunted house was the right decision…

Speaking of which, had Lucia gained weight?

This size, it must have changed!

“I found something!”

The other four people besides Xia Li were extremely nervous, and Peach’s expression became serious after entering this room.

As soon as he said this, the air in the quiet room seemed to solidify.

What was even more outrageous was the couple behind Xia Li.

Fu Yuan, who had volunteered to come to the haunted house and wanted his brothers to help him get closer to Zhou Anqi, was so scared that he stood behind Zhou Anqi.

“What?… ” someone asked.

Whether a haunted house was scary or not depended on the lower limit of the team.

As long as someone was infected by the atmosphere and showed nervousness and fear, then the fear would spread in all directions, affecting everyone’s hearts.

If someone screamed at this time, everyone’s mentality would explode.

“There are five people in our team.”

Chen Tao looked at Lucia as he said this.

It seemed that he was deliberately saying this for Lucia to hear.

“There are five of us, and I can only see four!” Chen Tao said in panic.

“…”

Lucia’s little face turned pale.

Her thinking ability was already a little slow, and with Chen Tao’s guidance, she quickly counted and found that she could really only see four people.

There were really only four!

“…Eek!!”

The frightened little dragon burrowed into Xia Li’s arms.

Xia Li was pushed back half a step by this violent dragon collision.

He reached out to comfort the little dragon in his arms and glared at Chen Tao, who was laughing so hard he was leaning against the wall.

“Get lost, get lost, get lost, don’t scare my girlfriend.”

“Hahahaha…” Chen Tao laughed so hard he pounded the wall.

Boss Xia’s little girlfriend was a bit too cute.

A little trickery would definitely fool her.

However, as he was laughing, Chen Tao couldn’t laugh anymore.

He looked back at the blushing little girl who was burying her face in Xia Li’s arms, and then at Yuan Zi and Anqi who were already holding hands.

Chen Tao suddenly felt a sharp pain in his teeth.

D*mn it, he was envious.

Everyone liked to go to haunted houses, huh…

He was going to speedrun this today!
