My Wife is an Evil Dragon Chapter 25

Chapter 25: The Evil Dragon’s Abacus

“…Can you buy anything?”

Speaking of this, Lucia was no longer sleepy.

If she had been a little lost before, with no hope for her dragon life.

Now, Lucia had her first ‘hope’!

This silver dragon, who had no desires other than gluttony, finally had her own desire!

She wanted to earn a lot of pocket money!

Lucia counted on her fingers.

A piece of fried rice cake cost three yuan, but she could earn one yuan for washing a bowl.

So, washing three bowls would be enough to eat one fried rice cake.

Mopping the floor once could earn her almost two!

This was too good a deal!

“You just washed a bowl, I’ll put it on your account book now.”

Xia Li had already arrived in the living room and took out a notebook from under the coffee table, writing as he spoke.

“I don’t have that much change on , and it’s troubleso to give you the money directly in case you drop it. I’ll just put your wages on the book, and when you need to buy sothing, I’ll buy it for you.”

“Oh, okay.”

Lucia expressed her agreent.

“Xia Li, I want to mop the floor now… Can I mop the floor ten tis a day?”

“You…”

Xia Li was choked by Lucia’s words.

Mopping the floor ten tis, wouldn’t that polish his floor to a shine?

“Mop the floor once every two days, or whenever it gets dirty… You’ll be able to judge this yourself after you get used to doing housework.”

Xia Li took out the notebook he had received in college, wrote Lucia’s na on it, and began creating a table, dividing it into date, type of housework, and amount.

Lucia was in a good mood, squatting by the coffee table and resting her chin on her hands as she looked up.

She held her cheeks with her small hands, staring at Xia Li writing her na.

Lucia didn’t know many words, but her own na was one of them.

Xia Li’s strokes were steady when he wrote her na. His handwriting was quite beautiful, obviously practiced.

Lucia expressed her liking.

“By the way, Xia Li.”

“Ask away.”

Xia Li had almost gotten used to this evil dragon asking questions like a curious baby.

It felt like… raising a child…

Watching this evil dragon gradually beco familiar with Earth, and then gradually accept everything here.

To Xia Li, it was a fulfilling thing.

“Xia Li, when you go out to work… how much do you earn a day?”

“? I haven’t found a job yet.”

Xia Li didn’t understand the purpose of the evil dragon’s question, but after all, he was a recent graduate and didn’t want to brag in front of Lucia just for a little bit of dignity.

So he gave a conservative estimate: “Based on my classmates’ current salaries… it’s probably around 200 yuan a day.”

“Two hundred yuan a day?” Lucia’s amber eyes widened in admiration, “You’re so amazing!”

Converted to washing dishes, Lucia would have to wash two hundred bowls.

Xia Li didn’t say anything after being praised by Lucia.

A daily salary of two hundred yuan… actually, it was still difficult to live on for an ordinary worker.

In a big city, after deducting food, housing, transportation, and daily expenses, the remaining balance wouldn’t even allow one to have a hobby.

Not to ntion, Xia Li was working alone but feeding two mouths.

“…So, in other words, as long as I wash two hundred bowls, I can buy Xia Li for a day.”

“Huh?”

Lucia pondered for a while, then suddenly blurted out sothing that left Xia Li confused.

“What are you going to buy for?” Xia Li asked in astonishnt.

“I don’t know.”

Lucia shook her head.

Actually, she hadn’t thought about what she would do if she bought Xia Li for a day.

It was just that when Xia Li said she could buy anything she wanted with money, she subconsciously thought of it.

If she could really buy Xia Li for a day…

It seed like making him her slave wouldn’t be bad.

Hehehe…

However, Xia Li had already said before.

◈◈◈

He wasn’t a thing.

So Lucia probably couldn’t buy him.

Xia Li tilted his head, looking at Lucia’s mischievous grin, and couldn’t help but chuckle.

He wondered what kind of fantasy this silly dragon was imrsed in.

Forget it, it was good for her to have so aspirations.

Xia Li had already planned out the things she needed to do and the rewards she would get for doing them.

The rest depended on her own efforts.

Looking at the completed table, Xia Li suddenly wanted to laugh.

He hadn’t expected that even an evil dragon coming to Earth wouldn’t be able to escape the fate of working.

“Can you write?”

Xia Li put down his pen. To give the evil dragon a sense of participation, he wanted Lucia to sign her na on the notebook.

Lucia nodded, “I can write a few.”

The mory inherited from the silver dragon bloodline wasn’t much, mostly about survival.

But Lucia’s ancestors must have been very curious, as she had acquired knowledge of writing, not only recognizing a few words but also knowing how to write a few.

Xia Li hadn’t expected the evil dragon to be able to write, so he handed the pen to Lucia.

“Here, write your na.”

Lucia leaned over, a little nervous.

She hadn’t written many words in her life.

She had used her dragon claws to scribble on rocks in the cave before, but later, to hide the fact that she knew how to write, Lucia lted those rocks.

Holding the pen, Lucia clumsily wrote down the words.

Xia Li leaned over to watch, and the more he watched, the stranger it felt.

“Why are you writing my na??”

Lucia’s ssy strokes were forming the character ‘Xia’.

Xia Li thought he was seeing things, until she started writing the second character ‘Li’.

“I used to write your na a lot…”

Lucia wouldn’t tell him that every ti she was beaten up by Xia Li, she would get angry and go back to the cave to write his na fiercely, then tear it up.

She, a pureblood silver dragon, never held grudges.

Well, not overnight grudges.

After all, she vented her anger on the sa day.

“You wouldn’t be writing my na and cursing , would you?” Xia Li said in exasperation.

Lucia looked away guiltily.

Xia Li: “…”

Xia Li didn’t argue with her. He closed the notebook and put it in the drawer.

There was no need to worry about her falsifying or tampering with the words on it.

Not to ntion whether the silly dragon had such cunning, Lucia’s handwriting was so bad that Xia Li could recognize it at a glance.

“Buzz—”

At that mont, the phone that Xia Li had left on the sofa rang.

Lucia reacted faster than Xia Li. She quickly climbed onto the sofa, staring intently at the vibrating little box.

Xia Li hadn’t explained the specific use of this thing to her yet, only saying it was sowhat similar to the spatial ring in Azure Continent. Seeing that Xia Li carried it with him wherever he went, Lucia thought it must be a treasure.

“Dad… ?”

Lucia barely recognized the characters on it.

Her soft and gentle voice made Xia Li’s heart skip a beat.

Sothing was wrong, why was Old Xia calling him?

Didn’t he tell him not to co this morning?

Xia Li picked up the phone and nervously pressed the answer button.

On the other end of the phone, the gentle and powerful voice of a middle-aged man ca through.

“Hello? Why didn’t you reply to my ssage?

I’m downstairs.”
