Chapter 82: This Brave Hero Has a Problem, Suck Him!
“What are you grabbing for?!”
On the subway, the man in the black hat tried to pull his wrist free from Xia Li’s grip.
However, after several struggles, the other party didn’t budge.
This terrifying strength… Could he be plainclothes police?
“Let go!!”
The man in the black hat felt increasingly guilty, his voice growing louder, with a hint of a thief calling out a thief.
The surrounding passengers, seeing this, thought there was trouble and imdiately took half a step back.
However, after seeing the small tweezers caught in the man’s hand, everyone revealed an “I see” expression.
It’s nearing the end of the year, and thieves are getting active.
Especially subway pickpockets, they’ve been appearing frequently recently, so much so that even the number of train patrol officers has increased.
Just as the onlookers understood the situation, and two enthusiastic young n were about to lend a hand…
The man in the black hat grabbed Xia Li with both hands, struggling forcefully. Xia Li, in turn, gripped his arm and then abruptly turned around.
“Bang!”
A powerful over-the-shoulder throw slamd the man in the black hat heavily onto the ground.
Two phones with pink cases fell out of his pocket. He lay on the ground, dazed for a mont.
What was that just now… The kind of strength a normal person could unleash?
Realizing that he had probably encountered a tough opponent today, the man in the black hat gave up resisting, allowing the young man behind him to pin him down with one hand.
“Excuse , please make way, coming through…”
Hearing the commotion, the train patrol officer hurried over from another carriage. Seeing the person on the ground, he imdiately understood what had happened.
“It’s you again.”
Saying this, he pulled out a pair of shiny silver bracelets from his pocket and put them on the man in the black hat.
He looked up and made eye contact with the young man who had intervened, but that young man had already returned to his girlfriend’s side.
His eyes had been as sharp as a bear’s when he took action, but now, holding his girlfriend’s hand, he seed to be clinging to her…
“Thank you for your help.”
The patrol officer expressed his gratitude, and Xia Li rely nodded slightly.
When they reached the next station, the patrol officer dragged the man in the black hat out.
“Xia Li, is he going to be executed?”
Lucia leaned against Xia Li, watching the scene.
Having been in this human society for so long, she had only encountered kind people and had never t a bad person before.
Xia Li had told her that there weren’t as many bad people in this world as in Azure Continent, but there were still so.
Therefore, Lucia had beco a little more cautious in her interactions with people and things. Today, in a crowded place, she had indeed spotted a bad person stealing.
“Usually not.”
Holding the soft and fragrant dragon claw, Xia Li sandwiched it between his two hands like a hamburger.
Lucia was pondering at the mont, so the “one dragon claw on top” principle had been temporarily suspended.
“Thugs like them, if they steal a phone and sell it for a thousand yuan, they’ll live it up for a few days. If they don’t steal anything, they’ll go hungry. Or if they’re caught stealing, they’ll spend ten or twenty days in jail… and then they’ll be released again.”
Thinking of this, Xia Li recalled what the patrol officer had said.
“That thief must be a repeat offender, even the patrol officer knows him.”
Lucia’s hand was getting warm from Xia Li’s rubbing. She wanted to pull it back, but Xia Li seed to be having fun.
In Azure Continent, humans liked to play with dragons’ tails, horns, or wings after they shapeshifted… This was the first ti she had seen soone play with dragon claws.
Xia Li’s preferences are so unique…
Lucia’s thoughts had drifted off to the sky, while Xia Li was still analyzing the situation for her.
“This is a unique way of survival for people like them, but it’s the wrong way.”
Hearing this, Lucia snapped back to reality.
She suddenly thought of a possibility for this lifestyle.
“Don’t even think about it,”
Xia Li knew what was going on in that dragon’s head just by looking at where her eyes were focused.
“With watching over you, you have no chance of being released to do bad things. Just stay ho and eat your rice.”
“Oh…”
Lucia felt that Xia Li’s words were ambiguous.
‘Eat your rice’ made her sound like a good-for-nothing freeloader.
But if he had said, ‘Just stay ho and be my little chef,’ it would have been much more pleasing to the dragon.
That would make her seem more capable.
◈◈◈
And beco an irreplaceable presence in Xia Li’s ho.
But she hadn’t started being a little chef yet, so she couldn’t correct Xia Li’s statent.
The train arrived at the next station.
Xia Li glanced at the station information and led Lucia off the train.
Several other passengers got off at the sa station. Xia Li was instantly subdued by the “dragon claw on top” principle and was led out of the station by Lucia.
The figures around them were all in a hurry, only these two were leisurely, like they were on a date.
A passerby who had just brushed past them turned back.
As she walked, she quickly searched her pockets.
“I just realized I lost my phone…”
“I saw you subdue a thief on the train. My phone must have been stolen by him.”
The woman in sportswear approached Xia Li.
Xia Li nodded, “They got off at South Railway Station.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll take the subway in the opposite direction to get it back… Thank you so much, handso!”
The woman expressed her sincere gratitude and imdiately turned to take the train on the opposite platform.
Beside Xia Li, Lucia, sensing a strange and dangerous aura, grabbed his arm.
They were still inside the subway station; she had to keep a close eye on her valuable possession.
“Xia Li, you were so cool and handso just now.”
Lucia was never awkward when complinting soone.
Xia Li could handle being praised by anyone, but when he was sincerely complinted by the evil dragon, he felt a little embarrassed.
Clearing his throat, Xia Li began to explain to Lucia:
“Don’t imitate . I only intervened after ensuring safety.
There are security checks on the subway. The most powerful weapon that thief had was a pair of tweezers, which posed no threat to .”
In fact, even if the thief had been holding a knife, Xia Li was confident he could subdue him.
When he was in the other world, he didn’t face weapons like small knives and tweezers.
Dragons’ claws were five sharp heavy swords, and their tails were like asphalt pavers falling from the sky… Xia Li had always been fighting against things like that.
“But why did she call you handso?” Lucia suddenly asked, concerned.
This ti, she wasn’t trying to complint Xia Li. It was purely because another woman had complinted him, so she also had to complint him to cover up the other woman’s complint.
While Xia Li was reasoning with Lucia, Lucia was thinking about sothing else.
“Maybe it’s because I’m handso,” Xia Li analyzed rationally, “And what I did just now was indeed an act of justice.”
“But she called you handso!”
“What’s wrong with being called handso? Don’t you think I’m handso too?”
Lucia’s thin eyebrows furrowed.
“I think you’re handso because you are handso, but there’s sothing wrong with her thinking you’re handso.”
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
Xia Li was getting confused by the silly dragon’s peculiar way of thinking.
“It’s just a bit problematic.”
Lucia couldn’t answer either.
After saying that, she pressed her nose against Xia Li’s shoulder in a huff and took a deep breath.
Xia Li: “…”
So, to Lucia’s nose, what did he, a Brave Hero, sll like?
Looking at Lucia, who was like a big dog sniffing its owner’s scent, Xia Li could only stand there and let her sniff.
“Okay.”
After sniffing around, Lucia’s expression relaxed considerably.
She had sucked away the perfu scent of that bad woman!
This was the dragon race’s way of defending their territory’s scent!
“Done sniffing?” Xia Li said helplessly.
“Mhm.”
“Let’s go then, out of the station.”
