91. She Summoned A Rose Staff!!
After the dance, Xia Yi did not feel tired mentally; on the contrary, her fighting spirit was even higher, and she now wanted a second round.
It turned out that after using this method, dancing also became simple for her, and it was indeed effective!
On the other hand, Vanessa started to feel a bit of pressure. If it weren't for her strength, she would have been flung into the sky by the little princess by now.
After the dance ended, she began to sharply critique Xia Yi.
"Your Highness, your dance was a bit too exaggerated."
"Was it? I think I danced quite well!"
Vanessa said, "A social dance emphasizes the elegance of coordination. You should find a sense of cooperation with your dance partner within the dance. Through continuous cooperation, the level of tacit understanding can be improved, and feelings can grow accordingly."
"Um…"
Xia Yi was a bit troubled.
If it weren't for this method, she simply couldn't learn to dance at all. How could a Sword Saint go dance for others…
No, this won't do.
If she followed the traditional way and learned from Vanessa, the torture of etiquette lessons would never end.
"Vanessa, you are wrong! So wrong!!" Xia Yi's aura suddenly intensified.
"What?"
"Don't forget what I am learning this dance for! I am the Silver Dragon Princess, Xia Yi·Christie! The future heir to the Dragon Kingdom!"
"Yes."
"Therefore, my future partner must also be worthy of me. In addition to having a corresponding status and a noble identity, they must also have the strength to match mine!"
"That's right, Your Highness. Your future partner naturally needs to meet these conditions, whether for your sake or for the future of the dragon race."
"Then there's no problem! My way of dancing is a test of my partner's strength. If my future partner can only be suppressed by my dance, then it means that person is not worthy to stand by my side!"
"Is that so?"
"Yes, as the Silver Dragon Princess, there is no problem for me to learn to dance in this way. But how can the proud dragon race lower their status to accommodate others? Others should strive to catch up and match me!" Xia Yi said earnestly.
"…"
Vanessa fell silent.
"Any more questions? Vanessa, are you questioning me?" Xia Yi pressed further.
Vanessa felt that what Xia Yi said made a lot of sense.
Indeed, where is it for our dragon race to accommodate others, especially for a royal family member like the little princess of the Silver Dragons, born a ruler.
If someone is thrown off by the princess in the dance, then they must be worthless.
Worthless ones do not deserve the royal family of the dragon race.
She was indeed right.
Vanessa nodded.
"Since Vanessa thinks there's no problem, then I'll leave it at that for today. I've completed the course, and I have very important things to do now. See you next time!"
Xia Yi made a decisive move and ran away.
…
Dragon Palace, the back garden.
"…That's how it is, Your Majesty. That was the process of the princess learning to dance," Vanessa reported to Xia Lulu, "Actually, there's not much left for me to teach her. At most, I can teach her some different types of dances. I suppose with the princess's… unique way of learning, she should be able to master them quickly."
Xia Lulu picked up Lucia's hand-brewed fruit tea , took a sip, and her expression relaxed, seemingly quite satisfied.
"Mm, I understand. There's no problem, Vanessa. You've worked hard, managing to teach the mischievous Xia Yi the royal etiquette and making her shine internationally. The teaching process must have been quite challenging."
"Not at all, Your Highness is very… energetic."
Vanessa struggled to find the right words to describe her and ended up giving a stiff compliment.
"I heard you have a matchmaking appointment coming up," Xia Lulu mentioned.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Vanessa replied, a bit embarrassed, wondering how her matchmaking news had become known throughout the entire palace. That day, she even encountered a green dragon maid-in-training who came up to her with concern.
"I grant you a special three-day paid leave. Prepare well, and make sure to leave a good impression on the gentleman."
"Really?!"
"Mm."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Vanessa was very grateful. Having finished her report, she quickly excused herself, happy to go prepare for the big event.
After Vanessa left, Xia Lulu set down her teacup.
"Lucia, did Gran report that Xia Yi has also completed her magic lessons?"
The royal maid serving the Silver Dragon Queen replied truthfully, "Yes, Your Majesty. Due to the deterrent effect of the bitter gourd juice and homework, Her Highness has indeed not been sleeping in Master Gran's magic classes recently, and all the homework has been completed. Regarding the theoretical courses in magic, she has finished them all, and Her Highness's level of magic is now quite outstanding."
"What about the other courses?"
"There are no issues at all. Her Highness has excellent aptitude. It's just that she used to be playful and liked to be lazy. Recently, due to your pressure, most of the royal education courses have progressed very quickly, and most are nearing completion."
"Is that so…"
Xia Lulu felt somewhat emotional.
"It's indeed time to end."
…
"Hehehe~"
Xia Yi hugged her favorite pillow, lying on the bed, flipping through a comic book.
She raised her hand, grabbed a handful of chips, and stuffed them into her mouth, enjoying the wonderful moment.
"Go for it, big brother who pilots the spaceship!"
Engrossed in the exciting comic plot, Xia Yi was completely absorbed, her little legs wrapped in white socks gently swaying to the rhythm.
The royal maid on standby saw the little princess's demeanor and smiled gently.
Xia Yi turned her head and saw Sera watching her. Remembering her own behavior, she felt a bit embarrassed.
Darn it, she got distracted…
After studying for so long, wasn't it only right for her to enjoy herself a bit?!
It was justified!
"Sera, what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing."
"There is something. You just laughed. Are you laughing at me?"
"I was just thinking… Her Highness is truly… majestic."
"Really?"
"Your Highness, your performance at the Elf King's banquet was outstanding, completely different from usual. You really did, as you said, establish an excellent image of a dragon princess internationally, fooling everyone."
"Hmph, of course, I can do well in anything I set my mind to!"
Xia Yi was quite proud.
"Your Highness, do you have any plans for later?" Sera asked. "If you don't have anything else, I'll go prepare your afternoon tea."
"Plans for later?"
Xia Yi glanced at her comic book, which was almost finished.
Right, what was she supposed to do?
Stay in her room and chill?
Or go have afternoon tea? Maybe visit the back garden and play with the animals for a while. Or perhaps, go find Xia Lulu and act spoiled…
No, no, that last one is definitely not right! That's absolutely impossible!
Xia Yi shook her head vigorously.
"It seems I don't have any scheduled plans, Sera."
The little princess shifted her position, sitting on the edge of the bed, swinging her legs back and forth.
"I see, you're quite free then, Your Highness."
"Free?"
Xia Yi gradually realized something.
Yes!
She almost forgot her own purpose!
Originally, she had the chance to leave the dragon clan, but she returned, wasn't it to defeat Xia Lulu and temper her own Sword Heart?
It's not about playing princess games here!
Reminded by Sera, she woke up.
Phew…
That was close, she almost forgot her true intention.
However, Xia Yi faced some difficulties.
Xia Lulu was very strong, and she indeed couldn't beat her.
She had thought about finding Xia Lulu's weakness, but after searching, not only was it useless, but she also got herself involved, and it was all for nothing every day.
This plan was not feasible.
She should give up on trying to take shortcuts and honestly become stronger!
Yes, that's right, train and become stronger!
Xia Yi, full of determination, stood up.
"I know what to do now, Sera. I'm going to train this afternoon, don't disturb me!"
"What about tea time in the afternoon?"
"Ah…"
Xia Yi hesitated.
Right, should she wait until after tea time to think about training…
No!
Absolutely not!
She couldn't fall into decadence like this, she must not succumb to the temptation of snacks!
"No, no…!"
"What?"
Sera was shocked, the princess was actually refusing tea time?
Inconceivable!
"Today, just… forget it! I'm determined! To train, to become stronger!" Xia Yi, clutching her dress, struggled to shout out these words.
"But…"
"There are no buts, that's it!!"
Xia Yi quickly put on her shoes, covered her ears, and ran out of her room, giving Sera no chance to tempt her.
…
"I did it…"
"I did it!"
"I succeeded!! I resisted the temptation of tea time!!"
Xia Yi's mood was surging.
This was the first time!
Very good, this was a good start, keep it up, and never give others a chance to corrupt her again.
Hmph, don't underestimate me.
Xia Yi walked through the corridors of the palace.
"Princess, good afternoon!" The passing guards greeted Xia Yi, "Is there anything we can help you with?"
"No need!"
"Princess, good afternoon, are you going to see the Queen?" A passing royal maid smiled, "The Queen is in the back garden now."
"I'm not looking for her!"
"Princess, it's almost tea time, today we have your favorite—"
"I don't want tea time!"
Xia Yi covered her ears again and ran away.
What's going on, everyone's attitude is so strange.
"Sera said I was very majestic, everyone in the palace should be very afraid of me… Why does it feel like she's lying to me?"
Xia Yi was puzzled.
Forget it, think about it later, focus on training today.
Before long, she arrived at the training ground.
Coincidentally, the captain of the guards was training his subordinates.
This was Xia Yi's target, to find a few people in the training ground to practice with.
Xia Yi entered the training ground.
The guards' eyes all focused on her, and then they saluted and greeted her, including the captain of the guards.
"Princess, why the sudden interest in the training ground?" the captain of the guards asked.
"No nonsense, I want to find someone to practice with." Xia Yi said directly.
"Practice?"
The captain of the guards raised an eyebrow and pondered for a moment.
"No problem."
"Good, call someone up then."
Xia Yi walked to the center of the training ground.
The captain of the guards called out another guard of the Dragon Palace from the crowd, patted his shoulder, and signaled with his eyes for him to go up.
The guard, holding his weapon, stood on the training platform.
"Princess, please instruct me!"
"Alright."
Xia Yi also got ready for battle.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the battle began.
The dragon guard, wielding a long spear, charged forward.
Xia Yi saw through his movements in an instant, concentrated her magical power in her palm, and with the enhancement of her royal bloodline, she released magic under chant regulation.
A cold breath emerged, spreading to the dragon guard.
"Oh! That's magic, the breath of frost, using ice magic to slow down the opponent's movements, starting with control is a very correct strategy indeed!"
Some of the dragon guards began to commentate.
Others cheered for Xia Yi, shouting slogans.
For example—
"Xia Yi, Xia Yi, the best in the world!"
"I will forever support the Silver Dragon Princess!"
"Xia Yi is the strongest, Xia Yi is the strongest, Xia Yi is the strongest!"
Xia Yi felt embarrassed listening to them, but she couldn't be distracted, her focus was on the fight.
The dragon guard's spear came crashing down, blocked by Xia Yi's magic shield.
The guard executed a double strike, but due to the slowing effect of the frost breath, Xia Yi was able to cast a second spell under chant regulation before the hit landed.
"Rock Burst! Princess used Rock Burst! It seems to have hit solidly this time!"
A huge rock surged from the ground, knocking the dragon guard flying, his weapon falling to the ground.
"Indeed, in human form, I can't fight you, Princess. I'm going to get serious now, please be prepared!"
The dragon guard released his power, transforming into a huge dragon.
Normally, the strength of the dragon guards was around the third tier, but using their true dragon form, they could reach the fourth tier, making them very suitable as trial opponents!
The dragon guard, now a huge dragon, roared at Xia Yi, then flapped his wings and flew into the air, like a heavy bomb dropping, charging towards the ground, the wind howling, a huge shadow enveloping the petite silver-haired girl.
Xia Yi raised her hand, summoning her magical instrument, and began chanting a spell. In the wind, waves of fire surged, the intense heat distorting the air.
The dragon guard charged straight into the fiery wind, a massive explosion sounded, and the blast forced the surrounding dragons to retreat.
"What is the Princess doing? She's casting a fire spell! Can she release it?! She's going to be interrupted! She's going to be interrupted!! She's releasing it!!! She can't release it! She's got it! She's got it! Perfect!! She's summoned a rose staff!!!"
