24. Torturing The Little Tsundere
In Xia Lulu's hands was a brown jacket.
"Xia Yi, do you have any idea about this jacket?"
Xia Yi turned her face away.
This was the jacket that was draped over the sleeping Xia Lulu during their last visit to the Silver Dragon Queen.
"I don't know! I really don't know whose jacket this is!"
Xia Yi planned to play dumb, refusing to admit anything.
"Xia Yi, when I woke up last time, I found that someone had draped a jacket over me. What do you think that person's intention was?"
Xia Lulu pressed her face close to Xia Yi's, full of interest.
"I can't figure it out, why don't you help me analyze it?"
"Who knows, maybe the jacket fell off, and the wind blew it up and it just happened to land on you. That person might not have any other intentions, you're just overthinking it!"
Xia Yi felt like she was just spouting nonsense, without any persuasive power.
Only a fool would believe that!
"So, is it possible that the person cares about me and was afraid I would catch a cold, so they draped it over me?" Xia Lulu continued to press.
"No way, absolutely not!"
"Xia Yi, why are you so sure? Could it be that you…"
"No, I just feel that way! Think about it, you're so strong, how could you possibly get sick? Especially a minor illness like a cold, so you must have misunderstood. For example, you might have been sleepwalking, and took someone else's jacket, thinking that someone else draped it over you."
What a stubborn mouth!
Xia Lulu, seeing her daughter clumsily trying to bluff her way through, was even more amused. This was a rare opportunity, she had to seize it and give this tsundere loli a good grilling.
"You've made it quite troublesome now."
Xia Lulu's expression became serious.
"I had instructed the guards in my office not to let any suspicious people near. This person was able to bypass the guards and freely enter and exit my office? We must investigate, investigate thoroughly who this is!"
"……!"
"I'm going to call all the guards over now, and the royal maid team, I want the entire Dragon Palace to know about this."
Xia Lulu turned to leave.
Seeing this, Xia Yi panicked and grabbed Xia Lulu, she absolutely could not let her leave, otherwise the entire Dragon Clan would know, and she would lose face!
"You can't go!"
"What's wrong? Xia Yi, are you stopping me because you have something to say?"
"I, I…"
At this moment, the little princess seemed to be in a state of panic, unable to articulate her thoughts, almost crying, but she just wouldn't let Xia Lulu leave.
"Alright, then I won't go."
"That's good……!"
Xia Yi breathed a sigh of relief, her tears turning into laughter.
"Speaking of which, there's a very simple way to know who did it." Xia Lulu laughed.
Xia Yi immediately tensed up, her smile freezing.
Xia Lulu held up the jacket, buried her face in it, took a sniff, then shifted her gaze to her daughter, with an expression that said, "Oh, so it was you."
The silver-haired loli lowered her head, biting her lip lightly, caught red-handed, with irrefutable evidence.
"Wow, it was Xia Yi, that's really surprising, I didn't suspect it at all!" Xia Lulu read in a flat tone, without any inflection.
To Xia Yi, it sounded unbearably harsh, and she felt as if she was about to explode.
Social death!!
She had clearly said that the other party was her mortal enemy, but what was she doing?!
"So you care so much, Xia Yi, why did you help me put on this jacket? Could it be that despite calling me your mortal enemy, you actually care about me a lot and have completely gotten used to being my good daughter?"
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
With a flushed face, Xia Yi snatched her jacket back and yelled in near despair:
"Damn Silver Dragon Queen! Don't think you've won, I'll remember this!"
After dropping this line, the little princess chose to flee, leaving the palace corridor.
"Xia Yi is really cute."
Xia Lulu was almost brought to tears by her daughter's antics.
She stood in front of the glass, watching Xia Yi escape at the fastest speed of her life, quickly crossing the courtyard below.
At this moment, the royal maid who had been quietly hiding in the corner and had seen everything came up and saluted the Silver Dragon Queen.
"Your Majesty, do you have any orders for me?" Lucia asked.
"Yes."
Xia Lulu nodded, pulled out a book, and smiled:
"This book, help me return it to the library as soon as possible, and don't let anyone know."
"Did you borrow it?"
"Yes, Xia Yi hasn't been coming to see me recently, so I borrowed a book to read when I was bored."
"I see, Your Majesty."
Lucia felt that the queen had a deep meaning, full of dark humor.
……
"Damn Silver Dragon Queen, toying with me like this!"
"I'm angry!"
"I'm upset!"
Xia Yi felt like she had taken a big hit, which was a thousand times more torturous than losing a duel.
If she had the chance, she would definitely have to regain her dignity, otherwise the other party would really think she was an easy-to-handle dragon loli!
But now, there was something more important.
That was to go to the Dragon Clan's library!
She was going to look for clues to break the dragon's curse in the library.
Since the former human warrior could turn back into a human after being turned into a dragon by the Dragon King's curse, it meant that he had some means to break the dragon's curse, and there must be some traces left behind.
Xia Yi originally thought that it would be much more convenient to ask Gran directly about this, but this would definitely raise Gran's suspicions, and he might even report it to the Dragon Clan.
If Xia Lulu found out, everything would be ruined.
Patience!
"Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river, don't bully the dragon mother… bah, don't bully the young and poor!"
Xia Yi deliberately avoided the sight of other dragons and quietly arrived at the library.
There were very few people in the Dragon Clan's library.
It's not so much that there were few people in the Dragon Clan, but that they had to stay at their work posts on weekdays, so she hardly saw anyone.
Xia Yi remembered that she had never been to the Dragon Clan's library in her memory. Whenever she needed something, she would have Sera come and borrow books for her.
Coming by herself, it seemed like it was the first time today.
The vast library was like an ocean of books, with no end in sight. Under the sunlight, the dust floating in the air was visible to the naked eye. The bookshelves were like a forest, and Xia Yi, who had come here alone, felt like a lost wanderer.
"Is anyone there?" The little princess called out loudly, but there was no response.
She thought the librarian might be slacking off and sleeping, but then a figure suddenly appeared behind Xia Yi, startling her.
Torturing Tsunderes is always gratifying!
