8. It Was A Pleasure To See You Off!
Upon first seeing the swordsman, Xia Yi felt an uncanny familiarity, immediately associating him with the human Sword Saint that Xia Lulu had mentioned.
There was no doubt in her mind - this was the human Sword Saint!
But why would a human Sword Saint appear in the Dragon Clan's palace?
It was utterly impossible. Humans couldn't even get past the palace's front gate, let alone infiltrate it.
Reacting instinctively as a dragon, Xia Yi swung her tail, striking the mirror and sending it flying.
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
Feeling a sense of impending doom, Xia Yi chose to flee the room, calling out for Sera.
"Sera!"
"Sera!!"
"Come out! Stop hiding from me!"
In the pitch-black corridor, Xia Yi shouted at the top of her lungs for Sera.
But Sera gave no response.
"Sera, if you don't come out, I'm going to get angry. You won't like me when I'm angry. I'll punish you… with cream cakes and fried chicken legs, until you're fat!"
Xia Yi yelled.
In the empty corridor, only echoes responded.
The silent moonlight fell upon the young princess, illuminating her silver hair and her upset face.
"If Sera is missing, then I'll find someone else!"
"Lucia!! Lucia!!"
"Mother!! Mother!"
Xia Yi started running, shouting as she went. Normally, this would have caused an uproar in the Dragon Clan's palace.
But now, it was eerily quiet.
The palace's night patrol was nowhere to be seen, and there was no sign of life. It was as if everyone in the palace had vanished, leaving Xia Yi alone.
She rushed to Xia Lulu's bedroom, burst open the door, but her mother was not there.
Neither was anyone else in the other rooms.
"Did… did I encounter a ghost?!"
For the first time, Xia Yi experienced such a situation and couldn't help but feel scared. She immediately went into a defensive stance to protect herself -
She found a corner to squat in, hugging her head.
After a long while, nothing changed.
"So even if I hide here, no one will come looking for me?"
With no other options, Xia Yi started to think.
If it were a ghost or a monster, it would have attacked her by now. But apart from the human Sword Saint in the mirror, she hadn't seen anything else.
As a magician, she hadn't detected any traces of magic, which meant that the current situation wasn't caused by a spell.
So there was only one possibility left -
She was dreaming.
Sera had coaxed her to sleep, and while they were chatting, she fell asleep and entered a dream.
"Come to think of it, what am I afraid of?"
What was a human Sword Saint?
Just a sick patient who loved to play and was addicted to food!
This human Sword Saint dared to mess with her in her dream.
A chicken Sword Saint dared to act like a ghost here, why should she be afraid of him?
The more the little princess thought about it, the angrier she got.
"Darn it!"
Xia Yi stood up.
Angry!
Angry!
Angry!
Her anger had long since overshadowed everything else. Xia Yi just wanted to find the human Sword Saint and give him a good beating.
She headed towards her room.
The window appeared to have been opened by someone, allowing a cold wind to blow in and extinguish the candle.
But this did not deter Xia Yi. Instead, it fueled her anger.
"You dare to scare me? You're asking for a beating!"
She walked over and picked up the mirror from the floor.
At first, the mirror reflected the dragon loli, but then it blurred like ripples on a lake, and the image of the human Sword Saint appeared again.
Xia Yi raised her hand.
And so did the human Sword Saint.
"You dare to pretend? Come out!"
Xia Yi grabbed the gauntlet of the human Sword Saint, felt a solid sensation, pulled him out of the mirror, and threw him against the wall.
Boom!
Xia Yi's bedroom shook violently. After a loud noise, a large hole appeared in the wall, and the human Sword Saint was thrown out, landing on the ground outside the castle.
This violent impact seemed to have no effect on the human Sword Saint. He stood up as if nothing had happened.
Xia Yi jumped down from the hole, landing smoothly on the ground. Perfect landing!
"State your name, human," she demanded arrogantly.
The human Sword Saint remained silent, just staring at Xia Yi.
"How rude. Have you been scared silly? I am Xia Yi·Christie, the Silver Dragon Princess who will bring about your destruction!"
Xia Yi was still very polite, having received royal etiquette education from Xia Lulu.
As a dragon, she must always maintain her dignity!
The human Sword Saint raised his hand, murmuring something.
Even though it should have been an indistinguishable murmur, Xia Yi understood. He was calling for the holy sword, Gram.
Sure enough, a holy sword appeared in the human Sword Saint's hand.
What was this guy trying to do? He wouldn't answer her questions.
Xia Yi really couldn't figure it out.
But since he had provoked her like this, she couldn't refuse to fight.
"If you're so eager to seek death, then I won't mind sending your annoying soul to the afterlife!"
Xia Yi raised her hand, intending to summon her Rose Wand and casually blast the human Sword Saint to pieces with a few fireball spells.
But then she remembered something.
Wait, he has one, and so do I.
"Holy Sword! Gram!"
Xia Yi's voice was stern, like a command.
The holy sword in the human Sword Saint's hand actually flew up and, under her strong will, landed in her hand.
The human Sword Saint seemed panicked and tried to take back the holy sword.
But Xia Yi wouldn't give him the chance.
Dragon King's Pressure!
Her silver eyes glowed slightly, and the pressure, like a tangible impact, pushed the human Sword Saint back.
As a member of the royal family, Xia Yi naturally inherited powerful techniques from her mother.
Although the power and effect were not as strong as Xia Lulu's, it was more than enough for dealing with a fish in a pond!
"In the end, your own soul is shattered by the holy sword that accompanied you. How does it feel now, human Sword Saint?"
Xia Yi couldn't help but laugh. This pitiful Sword Saint could only watch as his holy sword was taken away, powerless to stop it.
The human Sword Saint, as if he had lost his mind, charged at her.
Numerous sword techniques flooded into Xia Yi's mind. She somehow mastered many sword techniques without a teacher. With the Holy Sword Gram, she was like a fish in water.
"Slash!"
Xia Yi swung a sharp sword light, like a meteor breaking through the night. The sword light illuminated the sky in an instant.
There was no need for words. With this strike, the human Sword Saint was sent to his end!
