76. Adaptation, Not Misinterpretation
The human Sword Saint, Wright Schubert, in pursuit of surpassing human limitations, embarked on a journey with the Holy Sword Gram to challenge the dragon queen Xia Lulu, leaving behind the realm of humanity.
Within the Dragon Kingdom, the Sword Saint did indeed encounter the Silver Dragon Queen Xia Lulu. However, he was not qualified to challenge the Dragon Queen directly and had to first defeat the guardians of the Silver Dragon Queen.
The plot here was indeed normal, and Xia Yi was indeed a bit surprised that the author had guessed the story correctly.
But the subsequent plot began to become outrageous.
The Sword Saint displayed formidable strength, unleashing the brilliance of the Holy Sword, continuously defeating one dragon after another, fully embodying the title of Dragon Slayer Sword Saint.
Witnessing this scene, the Silver Dragon Queen Xia Lulu finally took action, engaging in a battle with the human Sword Saint that was evenly matched.
The evil Silver Dragon Queen unleashed a final ultimate move, an extradimensional killing array, causing space to fracture and opening a portal to another dimension, intending to trap the human Sword Saint forever in an extradimensional space.
Drifting into the extradimension, Wright could no longer return to his original world. Just as he was about to be defeated by the Silver Dragon Queen's despicable tactics, the Holy Sword Gram emitted a glow.
It turned out that the people of the human kingdom were praying for the safety of the Sword Saint in the unknown, and like a miracle, their intentions crossed dimensions!
The collected prayers became the power of the Holy Sword, transforming into a path of light, allowing the human Sword Saint to return to his original world.
"This… What is this?! Adaptation is not fabrication, detailed storytelling is not nonsense. The author of 'The Legend of the Sword Saint' has to apologize to the entire nation for such changes!"
Xia Yi, although previously amused by the comic as it embellished her past experiences, found this time that it was pure fabrication, inventing a plot out of thin air.
"This is too outrageous. It was actually a one-for-one exchange with the dragon's guard, and then Xia Lulu fed me the blood of the Dragon King's curse, turning me into her daughter. From then on, the human Sword Saint became a dragon loli, and the Silver Dragon Princess Xia Yi was born… Huh?"
Xia Yi's expression froze.
How come, in terms of outrageousness, her own real experiences were even more exaggerated?
If the author had written according to her actual situation, it would probably have caused an uproar…
She successfully silenced herself.
Folks, just take a look at this 'The Legend of the Sword Saint'!
Xia Yi reluctantly picked up the comic book and continued reading with patience.
The content below described Wright being transported back to the Rhine Kingdom, where people cheered and welcomed the return of the Dragon Slayer Sword Saint.
The human Sword Saint realized the gap between himself and the Silver Dragon Queen and resolved to continue challenging other formidable foes, to cultivate in earnest, to improve his strength, and one day, to return to the Dragon Kingdom and defeat the Silver Dragon Queen.
Although he did not win against Xia Lulu the first time, people still regarded him as a hero, for he was the first human to venture into the Dragon Kingdom, slay the idle dragons, and return alive.
The name of the Dragon Slayer Sword Saint spread throughout the human nations…
Seeing this, Xia Yi felt it was enough nonsense and had no desire to continue reading further.
"Ugh… What should I do? A comic is just a comic, after all."
Xia Yi closed 'The Legend of the Sword Saint' and set it aside.
However, there was one thing she couldn't figure out. Clearly, after her journey to the Dragon Kingdom, she never returned, so everyone should know that the rest of 'The Legend of the Sword Saint' was made up.
Why then was everyone still so passionate about this comic?
In the past, it was her real experiences that supported the story and made many people interested in reading it.
"It's truly incomprehensible."
Xia Yi pondered and pondered but couldn't understand this point.
…
"Alright, Grandmaster Gran, these are the assignments I've completed. Please check them!"
In her room, Xia Yi, with dark circles under her eyes, placed a thick stack of completed assignments in front of Grandmaster Gran.
To finish these assignments before the end of her confinement, she had put in a lot of effort, almost staying up the entire night without sleep.
"Your Highness, please allow this old man to take a look…"
Grandmaster Gran stroked his white beard, picked up one of the assignments, and began to review it. After a while, he said:
"Your Highness, you were too hasty. There are some mistakes here."
"So what if there are mistakes!" Xia Yi retorted irritably.
Grandmaster Gran was always nitpicking. After writing so many assignments, how could she endure it?
"If there are mistakes, it means the content of the assignments you submitted is not good enough…"
"Xia Lulu only said to finish the assignments. She never said they all had to be correct!"
Xia Yi glared at Grandmaster Gran, grinding her teeth.
The fierce little dragon!
Grandmaster Gran could feel that the princess's mood was indeed not good, overly irritable. If he continued to nitpick, she might actually start biting.
"I understand, Your Highness. All your assignments are completed, and your confinement is also over. I will inform Her Majesty the Queen. You are now free."
Grandmaster Gran took out his wand, tapped the ground, and a wave of magical energy spread out.
Xia Yi saw the magic circle in her room flicker and then dissipate into the air, and the seal that trapped her vanished.
"Yay!!"
Xia Yi jumped up, immediately full of energy, her face clearing of clouds and blooming with a smile.
"Grandmaster Gran, see you later. I'm off to play!"
Grandmaster Gran was somewhat helpless, just shaking his head, thinking to himself, dragons will be dragons, and they can be so infuriating. Why does the princess, with such magical talent, always like to slack off?
…
"Hmm hmm hmm~"
"La la la~"
"Da da da~"
Xia Yi happily hummed her own little tune, never having felt before that the air outside her room could be so sweet, the sunlight so warm.
It had been a long time since she had seen her pets, and she headed to the back garden.
The little animals, upon seeing Xia Yi, excitedly gathered around her.
"Meow meow meow!"
"Woof woof woof!"
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
"Coo coo coo!"
The enthusiastic animals climbed onto Xia Yi, showing their affection.
She picked up the big fat black cat that was rubbing against her and said with pity, "Big Black, look at you, you've gotten so thin. You must have been so worried about me that you couldn't eat properly, right?"
"Meow meow!" Big Black responded with a shake of his plump body, as if in agreement.
Unfortunately, Xia Yi couldn't understand cat language.
"Speaking of which, isn't Xia Lulu usually in the back garden?" Xia Yi asked curiously. "You all know where Xia Lulu went? I clearly heard from the maids that after she finished her official duties, she would rest here."
The little animals fell silent.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
At that moment, Xia Yi's pet hamster started to squeak as if it knew something.
"Do you know, little hamster?" Xia Yi asked, intrigued.
"Squeak squeak!"
The little hamster nodded as if it understood Xia Yi's question and began to scurry ahead, leading the way.
Xia Yi was quite curious and followed behind. The little hamster led her to an unexpected place.
"Huh? Why would Xia Lulu come here?"
