89. The Shy Little Fox

The clear moon hung high in the night sky.

Under the moon, the dragon and the succubus confronted each other in the high skies.

Ella looked at the dragon loli in front of her, falling into a bit of confusion.

How did this little silver dragon recover so quickly?

Even if she had dispelled the dream, it should take a long time to recover, right?

And now she's acting like nothing's wrong.

I already let you go, and yet you come knocking on my door, little silver dragon!

Ella smiled, "Little silver dragon, there's no need to put on such a scary face. I've already promised the little fox to let you go, so don't come asking for trouble."

"Looking for trouble?"

"Thanks to your dream, I'm full now. It's been a long time since I've tasted such a delicacy."

Ella licked her lips, a gesture that was quite provocative.

"By the way, little silver dragon, would you like to be my long-term meal ticket?"

"What did you say?" Xia Lulu tilted her head.

"In the future, at night, I can make you have very pleasant dreams, little silver dragon. In the dreams, we can do many happy things, and you'll forget all your real-life troubles~" Ella cheerfully suggested.

Actually, Ella had never attended a gathering of higher beings before. She didn't like the act of socializing and always preferred to be alone.

However, by chance, she met a fellow succubus, which was quite a coincidence.

That colleague suggested she try her luck at a gathering of higher beings, where she might find a desirable long-term meal ticket, as the quality of participants at such gatherings was always high.

With a try-and-see attitude, she went.

And indeed, she encountered a cute little silver dragon, which was a pleasant surprise.

"Well, are you interested, little silver dragon~?"

"Hehe, how interesting, succubus. You're the first one to make such a request to me," Xia Lulu narrowed her eyes.

"How about it, how about it, agree to it!"

"You did some bad things before."

"Can't help it! I'm just naughty by nature, can't change it!"

"Is there a possibility that, actually, I'm quite naughty too?"

A magic ice spike appeared in Xia Lulu's palm.

Ella, however, was unconcerned, "Trying to scare me? Little silver dragon, it's useless. While talking to me, I've secretly covered the surrounding space with magic. With just a thought, I can plunge you into a dream space."

"Is that so?"

"Of course, you've been fooled, little silver dragon, biu~!"

Ella struck a playful pose, then created a dream and dragged Xia Lulu into it.

Xia Lulu stood still, motionless.

"Hehe, little silver dragon, let's see if your dreams are normal!" Ella dived into the other's dream.

This was one of the succubus's abilities, to actively dive into dreams.

Later, in the dream, she could manipulate the little silver dragon at will, let her experience some joy only girls can feel, and once addicted, maybe she would cling to her and willingly sign a contract…

"Oh, so you want to do this to Xia Yi, Miss Succubus."

A cold voice interrupted Ella's thoughts.

"What's going on!"

Ella realized something was wrong Ella realized something was wrong when she found herself unable to move after diving into the other's dream. She felt surrounded by transparent walls, completely trapped as if in a glass bottle.

She was shocked to discover that the silver-haired dragon loli had become immensely huge, towering like a mountain, pinning her down in her palm.

"Let me out!" Ella became anxious, but no matter how she used her power to strike the transparent walls around her, she couldn't escape.

Why had she become so strong?

"Daring to enter my dream space on your own, you should experience the consequences for yourself," Xia Lulu looked down at the tiny succubus in the bottle.

…

"Ugh…! Ha, ha…" Ella woke up with a look of terror on her face.

She had just suffered terribly in the dream, almost to the point of death, but thankfully she managed to dispel it in time.

She looked disheveled, never having been so embarrassed in a dream before.

"Oh, Miss Succubus, are you done playing? I wasn't even enjoying myself yet," Xia Lulu found it rather dull.

"No, who are you! You're not the silver dragon from before!" Ella finally noticed something was off. Although the loli silver dragon in front of her looked very similar to the one she had controlled earlier, there was a vast difference in strength.

It was impossible for someone to hide their abilities to such an extent, so there was only one possibility…

She remembered something.

The queen who ruled the Dragon Kingdom was a silver dragon.

And a few years ago, the Silver Dragon Queen had a daughter, also a silver dragon, named Xia Yi.

Could it be that she had encountered the Silver Dragon Princess earlier, and now she was facing the Silver Dragon Queen?

She was in trouble and needed to flee!

Ella didn't dare to stay any longer. She turned to fly away, but a chain made of ice flew towards her, binding her tightly.

"Thinking of leaving after bullying my daughter? Not so fast, Miss Succubus."

"Wah, wah, wah! I was wrong, it's all my fault, I was just being foolish… Please let me go, I was only boasting, I never really thought about having a long-term meal ticket, I wouldn't dare…" Ella begged for mercy.

She had really kicked the iron plate this time!

"Indeed, all succubi are scum, not a single good one among them. You can't spit out a single truth, always acting recklessly. Begging for mercy is useless; you should pay a price," the Silver Dragon Queen spoke coldly.

"Silver Dragon Queen, there's room for negotiation, let's talk this over! I'm sincere!"

"Room for negotiation?" Xia Lulu's lips curled slightly.

She had been waiting for this moment.

"Oh, sure, you said it~"

…

"Archenemy, are you awake?" Yue Liu looked at Xia Yi as she opened her eyes and finally felt a bit relieved.

Xia Yi looked at the pink little fox in front of her, blinked, and asked, "Yue Liu, why are you here?"

"Hmph, archenemy, that annoying succubus has been driven away by me. Praise my greatness!" Yue Liu was very proud, standing with her hands on her hips.

"Succubus? What are you talking about?" Xia Yi was a bit lost.

"It's the succubus who dragged you into the dream just now!"

"That…"

Xia Yi felt her mind was blank, as if she was missing something.

She had been on her way to catch Yue Liu when she encountered a girl with different colored eyes who seemed to say something to her, and then her eyes became strange, and she fainted.

When she came to, she had no recollection of what happened next. It seemed like she had a dream, but the content was now completely unknown to her.

Could it be that the girl was the succubus Yue Liu mentioned?

"It seems I'm starting to remember now, did you help me, Yue Liu?"

"Ah, ah… Help? What, what joke! I would never help you, we're not on good terms!" Yue Liu quickly retorted, "I just disliked that person, that's all. Helping you out of a crisis was just something I did along the way, it wasn't because I wanted to help you!"

"Is that so?"

"That's right, don't forget our relationship, archenemy! From our positions, we are adversaries! I have no reason to help you!"

To be honest, Xia Yi was somewhat surprised.

After all, she initially wanted to tease the little fox, but in the end, the other party helped her through a difficult situation.

She had to be a polite child and say thank you.

"Thank you, Yue Liu!" Xia Yi smiled at Yue Liu.

Yue Liu was taken aback and became even more agitated, "Ah… Why are you suddenly saying this!!"

"If you hadn't helped me drive away that succubus, I would have been in danger, right?"

"Although that's true… I was just very annoyed at the time."

"You're still really kind-hearted, even though you say we're archenemies, you still helped me."

Xia Yi seemed to remember something; this personality seemed familiar from a comic…

Oh, right!

Tsundere.

This was a tsundere little fox!

How interesting!

The little princess was amused.

"Because… um…"

Yue Liu hesitated to speak.

Seeing her expression, Xia Yi continued to ask:

"What's wrong, Yue Liu, you seem to have something to say to me."

"It's… because of last time!"

"Last time?" Xia Yi blinked, "I don't understand what you're talking about?"

"Last time, it's the last time!!"

Yue Liu was getting embarrassed.

"Previously in the Blackstone Kingdom, didn't I fight with you once? Don't say you've forgotten!"

"I haven't forgotten."

"From our positions, we are enemies, whether it's because of what happened when we were younger or… from the standpoint of dragons and foxes, we should be trying to kill each other, but you let me go, didn't you?"

Yue Liu's expression became complicated.

Although she didn't want to admit it, it was the truth.

She thought she was done for at the time.

"After defeating me, you just watched me run away, you did nothing, you could have easily caught up and killed me."

"That's true, I suppose…"

"You let me go, and because of that, even after returning to the fox clan, I couldn't stop thinking about you! It's infuriating, are you trying to make it impossible for me to get over this? Therefore, today I helped you, consider it repayment for the favor you did me before, and now we're even!"

Xia Yi hadn't really considered this point.

"Speaking of which… Xia Yi, what was your reason for letting me go at that time?" Yue Liu asked quietly.

Xia Yi noticed that Yue Liu had called her by her name.

Before, it was either Silver Dragon Princess or archenemy.

It seems she was really serious.

Why did she let Yue Liu go at that time?

Part of it was to let Yue Liu escape so she could use that as an excuse to follow her and then have a legitimate reason to leave Lucia's sight and escape from the Blackstone Kingdom.

But actually, thinking about it now, Xia Yi felt a sense of regret—

That was regret!

Xia Yi was a human Sword Saint, and it was hard to find an opponent with equally excellent swordsmanship.

Yue Liu's swordsmanship was very good.

In fact, Xia Yi was looking forward to Yue Liu continuing to hone her swordsmanship, getting stronger, and facing her again in the future.

That was probably the feeling.

"Yue Liu," Xia Yi looked seriously at the pink-haired little fox, "because I like you."

"…"

"I said, I like you." Xia Yi thought Yue Liu hadn't heard her, so she repeated herself.

"What, what are you saying! Don't spout nonsense all of a sudden!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm very serious right now."

Xia Yi was truly acknowledging Yue Liu's potential in swordsmanship.

Yue Liu's cheeks flushed red, she covered her ample chest, and stepped back several paces, almost falling to the ground.

This panicked state was a bit too much.

It was even more of a reaction than when she was caught playing hide and seek earlier.

It seemed like her brain was about to short-circuit.

"But, but…! We're both… girls…"

"It has nothing to do with gender!!"

Xia Yi instinctively retorted.

Yue Liu's statement had triggered her memories.

Back when she was a human Sword Saint, she naturally taught some students swordsmanship.

There was a girl with exceptional talent whose progress in the way of the sword far surpassed others.

Although the girl was sent by a noble family to pad her resume, the talent she showed made Wright very satisfied, and he decided to teach her properly.

But then one day, the girl stopped coming, and Wright was puzzled, worried that she might have encountered some accident, so he personally went to the noble family.

After asking carefully, he found out that the girl had been arranged to marry a prince from a neighboring country, so she wouldn't be coming anymore.

Girls didn't need to learn swordsmanship; it was better for them to get married.

That was the noble family's stance, and at the time, it really angered Wright, almost to the point of tearing down the noble house.

His pursuit of swordsmanship was very pure, and the idea that girls weren't suited for swordsmanship was utterly nonsensical!

"Yue Liu, gender doesn't matter, what's important is your own thoughts!" Xia Yi's answer was very firm.

She didn't want to encounter such a situation again, and Yue Liu was a swordsman worth looking forward to, who would surely grow in the future.

"Do you… really think so?"

"Yes!"

Xia Yi nodded earnestly.

"…" Yue Liu blushed and fell silent.

"Let's head back."

Xia Yi returned to the center of the banquet, feeling as though she might have caused too much of a stir outside, hoping that Xia Lulu wouldn't be upset later.

Yue Liu didn't say anything, just silently followed Xia Yi, clutching her shrine maiden skirt, her tail and ears drooping, soft and limp.

Her feelings were complex, and she couldn't understand them herself, this strange sensation.

She wanted to see Xia Yi, but upon seeing her face, she would waver.

The shy little fox in her heart had some thoughts, and she approached and took the initiative to take Xia Yi's hand. This time it was different from before; there had been no feeling earlier, but after hearing Xia Yi's words just now, her heartbeat sped up so fast.

What's happening to me?

…

"Where did Xia Lulu suddenly go?"

"Could it be that she's worried about her daughter losing? She's so impatient. I have full faith in Yue Liu."

"Hmph, right now, Yue Liu must be giving the Silver Dragon Princess a good thrashing, thoroughly humiliating the dragon clan!" 

The Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor thought to himself, barely containing his laughter.

Indeed, his daughter is the most reliable!
