102. Furious!
Xia Lulu won't grow?
So, she has lived for nearly a thousand years and is still flat-chested, is it related to this golden dragon?
Xia Yi felt she might have heard some very incredible information.
"Don't tell me you're here to renege, Xia Lulu," said the golden dragon girl, "To awaken as the Dragon King, there is always some price to pay, and a body that never grows is a huge profit, okay?"
It seems that Xia Lulu and this golden dragon girl have a very deep past.
Unfortunately.
These statements are almost all riddles to Xia Yi, and she can't understand them at all.
"Speaking of which, why are you interested in bringing another dragon into my tomb? Is this your maid?" The golden dragon girl looked at Elly.
Elly became nervous.
However, as a reserve maid of the Royal Maid Corps, out of cultivation, Elly still saluted the other party.
"Nice to meet you, I am a reserve member of the Royal Maid Corps in the Dragon Palace, Elly."
"So you are the cute little green dragon maid, huh? My name is Dorothea Yuritas, and I suppose I could be considered… an old friend of Xia Lulu's."
Dorothea responded politely.
It seems she has received proper etiquette training, her actions very standard.
At this moment, Elly sneakily glanced at Xia Yi.
"Your Highness, do you recognize this name?" Elly whispered.
"No… I don't think I've ever heard this name."
"What about the surname Yuritas?"
"No impression either."
Xia Yi shook her head.
Perhaps there are records related to Yuritas in the history of the dragon race, but that would be from a very long time ago.
Xia Yi's knowledge of such distant history is not extensive.
"Elly, continue to probe Dorothea for me."
"Eh, eh!?"
"She has mistaken me for Xia Lulu now, and I want to gather some information."
"Okay, okay!"
Elly nodded and began to bluff.
"So you are Miss Dorothea, a pleasure to meet you. However, as far as I know, the golden dragon race should have perished from the Dragon Kingdom long ago, right? How come I still see you here, are you hiding?"
"You're right, the golden dragon race has been extinct, and I am the last golden dragon," Dorothea said indifferently, "You see, this is the gravestone where I am buried."
Now Xia Yi was even more confused.
To say in front of others, "I'm already dead, this is my gravestone."
What strange logic!
It's even more exaggerated than asking someone if they are asleep and then getting the reply "I'm asleep"!
This answer completely baffled Elly.
"Miss Dorothea, are you joking?"
"I have no interest in telling you hell jokes, this is indeed my grave," Dorothea seemed to be getting a little unhappy, "Xia Lulu, what's the matter with you, always allowing your maid to uncover my wounds?"
Xia Yi really couldn't figure out what was going on with Dorothea.
The golden dragon race has been extinct, this is her own grave, and that cross is the gravestone.
That is to say, she's already dead?
But standing and talking to herself, isn't that Dorothea?
Has she turned into an undead creature?
No, that doesn't look like an undead.
Or is this the lingering spirit, this is… a ghost!
Xia Yi shuddered.
But upon closer inspection, that's not right either. If it were a ghost, it should be very easy to identify, right?
So, the last possibility—
Dorothea is a patient with schizophrenia!
Her mind has a problem, she herself is not dead, yet she firmly believes she is.
While Xia Yi was thinking, Dorothea narrowed her eyes, sensing something was off.
"Something's not quite right, Xia Lulu, did you really bring this little green dragon maid into my grave without telling her anything?" Dorothea asked, "You never used to bring others here, why did you bring a maid to see me today, what for?"
Xia Yi didn't know how to answer.
Because she knew nothing about Dorothea, and Xia Lulu had never mentioned this person.
The only information she knew was that Xia Lulu had been to the Purple Kite Valley to visit her old friend.
Dorothea stood up and took a step forward, letting her body fall freely.
Xia Yi and Elly's eyes widened, staring at the golden dragon girl. Was this a suicide? She didn't use any magic, nor did she spread her dragon wings!
They thought she would crash to the ground, but the golden-haired dragon girl unnaturally hovered in mid-air.
Dorothea stopped in the air, ten meters above Xia Yi's head.
It started?!
Elly and Xia Yi looked at each other in disbelief.
Xia Yi still wanted to try to communicate, but Dorothea's eyes flowed with murderous intent, she quickly chanted in Dragonic, a magic circle appeared above Xia Yi's head, magic converged, and burst out violently.
"Your Highness Princess, danger!!"
Elly shouted loudly, using her dragon true form to protect Xia Yi.
Boom!
Flames exploded on Xia Yi.
Fortunately, Xia Yi was not just sitting there waiting to die, she had already cast magic for her own defense when she felt the hostility from the other party, and after Elly rushed in front of her, she reinforced Elly with an ice magic shield.
Although the ice magic shield was shattered, it also offset much of the damage from the fire explosion, and with Elly releasing her dragon true form, she was unharmed under the defense of the dragon scales.
"Indeed, you are not Xia Lulu. If you were, you would have retaliated with the Dragon King's Fury just now. This little maid calls you 'Princess'? Xia Lulu is the Silver Dragon Queen, so that means, you are her daughter, right?"
"…I apologize, Your Highness!" Elly regretted her outburst, in her urgency, she hadn't had time to think and blurted out the title.
"So Xia Lulu actually has a daughter, and she looks just like her, interesting. Little Silver Dragon, what is your name?"
"…I am the Silver Dragon Princess, the future heir to the Dragon Kingdom, Xia Yi·Christie!"
Xia Yi introduced herself with royal etiquette, proudly stating her identity.
Here, one must show their spirit, the opponent was so aggressive, showing weakness was not an option!
"So Xia Lulu actually promised you the Christie surname, impressive."
"Dorothea, what exactly is your relationship with Xia Lulu! What does it mean to not grow, and what about awakening?"
"Little Xia Yi, all these are Xia Lulu's secrets, do you really want to know?"
"Yes."
"I can tell you, but you need to do something very simple."
"What is it?"
"Just act cute for me."
"That's easy, just acting cute… wait a minute!!"
Xia Yi almost went along with Dorothea's request but stopped herself in time.
"What did you just say?!"
"Just act cute, like a little cat, meow a couple of times, or like a little fox, ying ying ying~ It should be very simple, right?"
"No, why would you suddenly make such a request!"
Xia Yi thought she must have heard wrong.
This is too off the wall, causing her to not keep up with the pace.
"It's simple, I want to see Xia Lulu act cute, but unfortunately, she stopped doing that long ago, so no way, let's settle for the next best thing, have you act cute," Dorothea watched Xia Yi, "After all, you are Xia Lulu's daughter, and you look exactly like her, the effect should be about the same."
"I refuse!"
"What's the reason?"
"Because I never act cute! Don't just stereotype me based on my appearance, I am more dangerous, more terrifying, more horrifying than you think!!" Xia Yi tried to make herself look super fierce.
"Really never acted cute before?"
"…No, no."
Xia Yi denied.
She never considered acting cute in her daily life, as long as she wasn't doing it actively, then… it doesn't count!
"You hesitated, your answer."
Dorothea seemed to see through everything, then her gaze shifted to Elly beside her.
"Little maid, tell me, is your princess usually cute?"
"Ah? Of course, the princess's cuteness is recognized by the entire Dragon Palace—"
"Elly!!"
"Ah? Sorry, Your Highness!!"
Elly quickly covered her mouth, she had slipped up.
"It seems that you are a mascot in the Dragon Palace, little Xia Yi," Dorothea teased, "You really care about face, that point, you are quite like Xia Lulu."
Xia Yi's cheeks turned slightly red.
What is this all about, why does this golden dragon have to tease me!
"Usually doesn't count, those were… just accidents! Dorothea, no matter what, I will not act cute, I will absolutely not forget my pride as a member of the dragon race… ah no, as a Sword Saint!!"
Xia Yi replied firmly.
That was close, almost misspoke again.
Dorothea blinked her eyes.
Such a tough mouth!
This kind of personality made Dorothea even more interested.
"Little Xia Yi, how did you come here?"
"Come? I just entered directly into the Purple Kite Valley."
"No no no, I don't mean that," Dorothea shook her finger, "I am asking, how did you come into this world? Born by your mother?"
"Ah?" Xia Yi was stunned for a moment.
What kind of off-topic question is this?
"With Xia Lulu's personality, I don't think she would marry, right?"
"That, indeed…"
Xia Yi thought for a moment.
That's really true, Xia Lulu has always been single, never dated, let alone had any romantic interest in anyone.
"Since Xia Lulu didn't marry, nor dated, then, little Xia Yi, what exactly are you?"
"I…"
"Don't tell me, you were picked up, but picked up ones wouldn't look exactly like their mother."
Xia Yi found it very hard to speak.
Actually, I am a human Sword Saint, just after failing to challenge the Silver Dragon Queen, I was cursed, and then turned into a dragon loli…
Can't say it out loud, really can't say it out loud!
It's an embarrassing dark history!
"I won't tell you, hmph!" Xia Yi crossed her arms.
Dorothea tapped her forehead with her finger, she became more concerned.
"Little Xia Yi, you don't answer questions, you don't want to act cute; you barged into my tomb, disturbed my peace, and pretended to be Xia Lulu to deceive me… Hasn't anyone taught you, don't be too willful in front of strangers."
"You… what do you want to do?"
Xia Yi felt Dorothea's gaze becoming more dangerous.
"Little Xia Yi, guess what, how did the dragon skeletons on the road come to be?"
"Could it be, that is…"
A guess suddenly emerged in Xia Yi's mind.
If Dorothea really is a dead person, sleeping in her own tomb, then those dragons that came in from outside are disturbing her.
If dragons are disturbed in their sleep, they can get very angry…
All the dragons that came in from outside were killed by Dorothea.
Xia Yi's face changed, out of the Sword Saint's long-standing battle instinct, she could sense that she had become an enemy in the other's eyes.
"Your Highness, step back!!"
Elly also sensed something was wrong, wanting to protect Xia Yi.
Dorothea's palm flipped, and with a light hook of her finger, Elly's actions were forcibly halted, as if a binding spell had been cast upon her.
Xia Yi couldn't comprehend this scene.
Because just now, Dorothea hadn't used any magic, just a seemingly insignificant gesture, and she had controlled the green dragon who had released her true form.
This was definitely not chant regulation.
An even more bizarre scene unfolded as Elly slowly turned towards Xia Yi.
"Little maid, teach this naughty little princess a lesson."
"—Mmph!"
Elly, who seemed about to say something, suddenly closed her mouth and became motionless.
"Elly, what's… what's wrong with you?"
Xia Yi felt a deep sense of strangeness.
At that moment, Elly slowly got up, raised her hand, and smashed it down towards Xia Yi with force.
With the power Elly was now unleashing, if a shield of ice magic were used, it would surely shatter along with the shield, crushing down upon her.
Xia Yi thought quickly on her feet.
"Frost!"
She used chant regulation to create frost under Elly's feet, using the slippery ice to make the green dragon fall to the ground, avoiding the attack.
"Elly, what's wrong with you?!" Xia Yi asked with concern.
"…"
Elly didn't speak, her expression becoming very strange.
"To actually use chant regulation, you really are Xia Lulu's own daughter. Without the Royal Silver Dragon bloodline, you couldn't use this talent. Since you weren't directly born from Xia Lulu, how do you have her bloodline?"
"What's it to you!"
Xia Yi summoned the Rose Staff, quickly chanting a spell, and released a fireball. The blazing fireball flew towards Dorothea—
"Little maid, come here," Dorothea commanded.
Then, Elly, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly got up and did something that baffled Xia Yi. She moved in front of Dorothea and used her wings to deflect the fireball.
Dorothea changed her posture, crossing her legs clad in black silk, and sat in mid-air as if watching a play, observing the struggle between Elly and Xia Yi.
The presumptuous tone and the high-and-mighty attitude… all of it irked Xia Yi.
She was fuming!
When the little princess gets angry, the consequences are severe!
