51. The Tail Is Quite Obedient

Oh no, I hope Xia Lulu didn't see me just now!

Xia Yi hid behind the door of the great hall, feeling awkward.

"Why didn't I take the ship and leave? Why am I here?" Xia Yi couldn't understand.

She was supposed to be happily boarding a passenger ship, leaving the Blackstone Kingdom, and returning to the human world.

But for some reason, she suddenly got a rush of blood to the head, hurried back to the Dragon Kingdom, and came to the Dragon Clan's palace.

Even going directly to find Xia Lulu.

However, she no longer had time to think carefully.

Because it seemed that Xia Lulu had discovered her.

"Maybe I should just run away from here, first, first go back to my own room, and calm down…"

The little princess was about to lift her foot and leave.

Then she heard a familiar voice coming from the great hall.

"Oh my, how come there's another silver dragon in the Dragon Kingdom besides me?"

"…!"

Xia Yi suddenly realized that she hadn't retracted her tail.

That damned big tail, betraying her at such a moment, you traitor!

She hurriedly retracted her tail, but it was already too late.

"The silver dragons in the kingdom are only me and Xia Yi, it couldn't be, this shy and embarrassed one—"

"What nonsense are you talking about, Xia Lulu, who's too embarrassed to see you? Haha, you really talk nonsense!"

Xia Yi had no choice but to come out, pretending to be confident, but her voice lacked conviction.

She was too embarrassed to even look her mother in the eye.

"Oh? What's going on, sitting there in the dark by yourself, are you imitating a vampire? Xia Lulu, your hobbies are getting stranger!"

Xia Yi stiffly walked towards Xia Lulu, using teasing to cover up her chaotic emotions.

Xia Lulu snapped her fingers, and the palace hall became brightly lit.

She watched her daughter, just smiling.

"What are you doing looking at me and laughing, is there something funny about me!?"

Xia Yi felt uncomfortable all over.

"Daughter, you haven't come back for so many days, I thought you had run away from home."

"…!" Xia Yi felt very guilty and dared not continue the conversation.

"Let me guess, you must have had a sudden whim to run away from home, but you really missed me too much and couldn't bear to leave, so you came back," Xia Lulu said with a helpless tone, "Such a daughter who fears loneliness~"

Xia Yi immediately retorted: "Who would miss you! Xia Lulu, you really are unparalleled in self-delusion! I am a strong-willed Sword Saint, and you are the Dragon Queen, we are natural enemies!"

"Oh, is that so?"

"Of course! I just ran into a little trouble, I told Lucia that I was chasing the fox clan, but those foxes were so cunning, they made me dizzy, that's why I came back late, that's all!"

Xia Yi's cheeks were already red, she knew blushing wasn't convincing, but she couldn't help it.

"As for running away from home, especially not being able to bear leaving you and regretting it after not getting far… that's just nonsense!"

"Really?"

"Really."

"Daughter, why don't you look into my eyes and repeat what you just said."

"Hmph, isn't it just repeating? I—"

Xia Yi lifted her head, finally willing to look at Xia Lulu.

But contrary to what she expected, instead of the usual annoying smirk, there was an unusual tenderness in Xia Lulu's silver eyes.

At that moment, the little princess wavered, stepping forward several paces, and even her true feelings slipped out—

"I'm home… Ugh!!!"

Xia Yi quickly covered her mouth. What was she saying just now!

Luckily, she had spoken softly, and Xia Lulu hadn't heard her.

"Daughter, what's wrong? You were so confident just a moment ago, and now you've gone silent?"

Faced with Xia Lulu's questioning, Xia Yi didn't know how to retort. If she kept talking, she would only dig herself deeper…

That's it!

Why not turn the tables?

Xia Yi suddenly felt emboldened, deciding to change her approach and confront the situation anew. She couldn't believe that Xia Lulu could keep outmaneuvering her.

"Xia Lulu, stop going on about me," Xia Yi said, her arms crossed over her slightly heaving chest, "It's you who's the strange one."

"Oh? How am I strange?"

"Stop pretending! Xia Lulu, I know everything. The maids told me, you've been all alone these days!"

"…"

"Not seeing anyone, just sitting alone in the great hall. Why is that? Tell me?"

"…"

"It must be because you missed me, right? I didn't expect that you, of all dragons, would be afraid of loneliness~ Just imagine if the other dragons knew, hehehe…"

She had the upper hand now!

Xia Yi felt like her tactic of turning the tables was a checkmate move.

"There's no helping it, daughter. I really have been thinking about you…" Xia Lulu sighed.

"You're finally admitting it!"

After a brief silence, the Silver Dragon Queen's smile changed, filled with a bit of anticipation and pleasure.

This was bad.

Really bad.

Xia Yi's antenna-like hair radar went off.

This millennia-old loli with a belly full of bad water was up to something again!

"Yes, daughter, I've been pondering how to punish you properly. You were supposed to deal with the Blackstone Kingdom's affairs and come back earlier, but you dragged it out so long, even lying to me about being toyed with by the fox clan… Hehe, it seems to me you're outright defying orders. According to the Dragon Clan's laws, do you know what the consequences are?"

Xia Yi fell silent.

Would it be broccoli?

Or bitter gourd juice?

Or something even more dreadful than those!

"Scared, are you? Or is it that the Sword Saint who prides herself on her strong will is now afraid to face the consequences? You could also throw a tantrum or act cute, I might consider letting you off," Xia Lulu taunted.

"…Who's acting cute? I'll have you know, I will never act cute in my life! It's just a punishment, right? Bring it on! I'm not afraid!"

Xia Yi snorted and walked up to Xia Lulu.

She had expected the Silver Dragon Queen to use some terrifying method to deal with her, but what followed was beyond her expectations.

She was embraced.

The little princess hadn't felt the embrace of Xia Lulu for a long time.

"Xia Yi, you've already earned everyone's recognition, so let's call it even. I'll give you a little reward."

Xia Lulu stroked Xia Yi's head.

"You truly are my daughter, you've performed admirably."

Xia Yi was taken aback for a moment, her face flushed a deeper shade of red, "This… this doesn't count as a reward for me, I won't be happy just because of this! Don't get the wrong idea, this should be considered a punishment…!"

Despite her words, the little princess's voice gradually softened, and her tail behind her began to wag happily.

After all, the tail of a dragon loli never lies.
