104. That Was Too Despicable!

Xia Yi discovered that she was enveloped by a layer of frost magic shield, which protected her from direct damage from the fiery assault.

The powerful blast of fire magic just now had shattered the dragon skeletons.

She was familiar with this level of magic, having experienced it firsthand before.

It was Xia Lulu!

She looked up and saw the Silver Dragon Queen step by step, approaching her, which was quite unexpected.

What's happening?

Why did Xia Lulu suddenly appear here?

And to save her at the most dangerous moment, no less.

"Are you hurt?"

Xia Lulu looked at Xia Yi.

The dazed little princess finally reacted, standing up from the ground.

"…Not hurt, just… um… thank… thank you…"

Xia Yi blushed, feeling very embarrassed.

Damn it!

Was she really saved by her archenemy in the end?

How humiliating!!

But she was already thanking her, the other party must have heard it, right?

"What did you say?"

"Ah? Didn't you hear?"

"Your voice is too soft, daughter."

"I said… it's… ow!"

Xia Yi bit her tongue due to excessive nervousness.

Ouch!

She felt even more embarrassed.

"Thank you…"

"What?"

"I said, thank you…"

"What did you say?"

"I said, THANK YOU!!" Xia Yi shouted out.

Only then did Xia Lulu couldn't help but laugh.

The silver-haired loli realized she had been teased, damn it!!

She wished she could find a hole to crawl into…

"How did you get here?" Xia Yi asked.

"Because I heard someone calling me."

"Did you?!"

"Yes," Xia Lulu nodded, "so I sensed your location and came to find you."

"Since when can dragons communicate telepathically?"

"When the intention is strong enough, it's possible. That means, the person you were thinking of in your most dangerous moment was me," Xia Lulu said.

"I, I can't accept…! Have I really fallen?!" Xia Yi cried out, holding her head in despair.

Watching her daughter's conflicted and embarrassed reaction, Xia Lulu found it amusing. Telepathy, of course, was nonsense. She had come to the Purple Kite Valley after hearing Sera's report.

But the silly loli actually believed it.

Although she wanted to continue teasing her daughter, now was not the time.

The Silver Dragon Queen's gaze slowly moved, landing on the golden dragon girl.

"So it's Xia Lulu, I thought it was someone else,"

Dorothea's expression changed upon seeing Xia Lulu, her lips curling up.

"Do you… know her?" Xia Yi whispered to Xia Lulu.

"I know her," Xia Lulu's gaze towards Dorothea remained cold, "Not very well, just an acquaintance."

"You've changed a lot, you didn't use to say that… I'm heartbroken!" Dorothea began to wipe away tears.

But her reaction didn't seem heartbroken at all.

"Dorothea, you really have the nerve, acting so shamelessly at your age. You're at such a high level, yet you bully my daughter, who is still just a young dragon."

"What young dragon? I, I… am not small anymore…!" Xia Yi protested weakly.

Dorothea shrugged: "It's not bullying, just playing with your daughter a bit, she's so cute. After all, Xia Lulu, you've become very boring now, but your daughter, she's a bit like you used to be…"

"You talk too much, old thing."

"What old thing! Watch your language, I'm still just a seventeen-year-old girl!" Dorothea corrected.

"Seventeen years old? You mean a seventeen-year-old plus three hundred thousand months?" Xia Lulu mocked.

Seventeen years plus three hundred thousand months?

Xia Yi did the math… the other's age had reached twenty thousand years!

Xia Lulu was only close to a thousand years old.

This was even older than Grandmaster Gran.

Incredible.

But Xia Yi couldn't see any signs of aging on Dorothea.

"You're too much, revealing someone's secrets like that."

"It's just the truth."

"Indeed, after you became the Dragon King, you're not cute at all anymore. You used to call me Sister Dorothea—"

Whoosh!

A sharp icicle shot from Xia Lulu's hand, nearly hitting Dorothea, but it was deflected by a thread.

"You seem a bit anxious, Xia Lulu, and it just so happens, I haven't played with you for a long time."

Dorothea raised her hand, controlling the threads, and the dragon skeletons on the ground stood up again.

"Over the years, those who entered the Purple Kite Valley were just boring cannon fodder, hardly enough to pass the time, which made me miss you."

"Don't move, Xia Yi," Xia Lulu instructed, "Stand behind me, you won't get hurt."

"Okay."

Xia Yi complied obediently.

Although she was very unwilling to admit it, she had to acknowledge the reality that there was a huge gap in strength between herself, Xia Lulu, and Dorothea.

With her current abilities, she truly couldn't intervene in their battle.

Too weak, powerless.

Xia Lulu, wielding her magic, began bombarding Dorothea with spells, with magic circles unfurling around her, too numerous to count how many spells were being prepared for release.

Like an unceasing cannon, the powerful magic was rapidly unleashed, the dazzling brilliance of mana constantly shifting, demonstrating the mage's firepower suppression.

This overwhelming magical power truly frightened her.

Each spell was of a devastating caliber.

If Xia Lulu had truly fought with all her might against her before, even with the Holy Sword, she probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it and would have turned to dust under the barrage of magic.

Most importantly, there was not a hint of strain on Xia Lulu's face, as if the consumption was non-existent.

Dorothea was no slouch either, continuously commanding the dragon skeletons to guard her, resisting the bombardment of magic.

"Xia Lulu, you understand, don't you? Smashing these toys is pointless, I can reassemble them at any time," Dorothea said.

The dragon skeletons, after being blasted by Xia Lulu's magic, were quickly reassembled by the threads on the crosses.

While controlling her army to resist the magic, she also continuously reformed her fallen soldiers, filling the gaps in the front lines.

Such a method of operation was also awe-inspiring.

"Help me… Princess…!" Xia Yi heard a plea for help nearby.

Oh, right, there was a little maid here too, she had almost forgotten!

She searched for a moment and discovered a hand extending from the pile of skeletons.

It was Elly.

Xia Yi hurried over, grabbed Elly's hand, and dragged her out of the pile of skeletons.

"Your Highness… thank you…"

Elly was finally free, lying on the ground, looking disheveled.

"I thought I was surely going to die…"

"Xia Lulu has arrived."

"The Queen herself?!"

Elly lifted her head and saw the Silver Dragon Queen in front of her engaged in a fierce magical battle with Dorothea, and she was astounded.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow! So, so powerful, Your Majesty!!"

The eyes of the little green dragon maid were like those of someone looking at a deity.

In fact, Xia Yi felt much the same.

"Your Highness, did the Queen come to save us?!"

"Yes, she did."

Although she didn't want to admit it, it was indeed…

She had been saved by Xia Lulu.

Damn it, does this mean she owed her a favor now?!

As the human Sword Saint, to accept help… from her sworn enemy.

What a humiliation!!

The little princess was very frustrated.

But, inexplicably… she was also happy.

Xia Lulu actually came to save me when I was in danger.

Does she really… see me as her daughter…

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"Ah? Nothing! Nothing! I'm not happy about this at all, not one bit!!" Xia Yi quickly defended herself, "I was just thinking nonsense just now, it's not to be taken seriously!"

Elly was confused, scratching her head, unable to understand what the princess was emphasizing, it was just as inexplicably spoken.

Incomprehensible.

"Don't worry about me," Xia Yi, with a flushed face, quickly changed the subject, "Let's focus on the outcome of this battle instead!"

"Right!! Your Majesty, go for it!!"

Elly had already become a cheerleader on the side, even pulling out glow sticks from under her skirt and starting to cheer. Too professional.

"It seems you are quite beloved, Xia Lulu," Dorothea said, "Whether it's the Royal Maid Corps or your daughter, they all admire you greatly."

"It's none of your business."

Xia Lulu retorted with a blast of the Dragon King's Fury, repelling a swath of dragon skeletons.

"If you have time to chat leisurely, you might as well take this more seriously."

"You make a good point, Xia Lulu, I've thought of something interesting. After you became the Silver Dragon Queen, you must have ruled the dragon race with terror and authority. If I defeat you and make you lose face in front of your daughter, will you cry out of anger?" Dorothea teased.

"…"

"It seems you are indeed a bit afraid… To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed. After so many years, I thought you had become stronger, but it turns out, you haven't changed much from before."

"Heh."

Xia Lulu suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"Do you think I'm seriously fighting you?"

"Isn't that the case? Using splendid magic to blast me away… Too bad, in front of my tombstone, that's not possible."

"Haven't you understood my daughter's fighting style after seeing it? Look at your toys, old thing."

Xia Lulu was very disdainful.

Dorothea looked closely and realized something was amiss.

At some point, all of her army's dragon skeletons had been marked with a magical sigil.

The sigil contained violent energy that could trigger the magic within the dragon skeletons to explode chaotically, like bombs. Just one explosion could cause a massive blast that would engulf everything nearby.

This was something Xia Lulu had quietly marked while battling Dorothea with magic.

The previous magical bombardments were feints.

If so many magical sigils exploded at once, their power would stack, and then…

Dorothea's expression changed.

"Interesting, Xia Lulu, but this is useless against my army. You've wasted so much magic to mark them, even if you blow up my army, it's meaningless. Dead things don't die."

"Are you saying all of this is meaningless?"

"Yes, even if you want to blow me up with them, it's useless," Dorothia wagged her finger, "I cannot be killed, I'm already a dead person, all your efforts are in vain."

"By the way, since entering the valley, I've marked all of your dragon skeletons with magical sigils."

Xia Lulu raised her thumb, as if holding a detonator.

"Just one spark, and all your toys will go boom—"

"I told you, it's useless, you can't kill me!"

"Sure, you're a puppet that can't be killed, but your flowers won't survive, will they? All those years you spent cultivating a sea of flowers, it will all be destroyed in an instant."

"…!!"

"Three."

"Wait, Xia Lulu, that's so low! How can you threaten me with irises?!"

"Two."

"You, you, why won't you fight me fair and square?!" Dorothea was clearly panicking, her previously effortless demeanor gone.

"One."

"Wah!! You're so mean!! I surrender, I surrender!!"

Dorothea stopped her actions, retracting all her threads, and all the dragon skeletons returned to their slumber.

She looked at Xia Lulu resentfully, shaking with anger.

Xia Lulu looked on with disdain, "Dorothea, who lost?"

"It's me… I lost!" Dorothea bit her lip, bowed her head, and conceded defeat.

Got her.

Xia Yi watched from the side, feeling strangely exhilarated.

The self-righteous golden dragon had been dealt with by Xia Lulu!

After all, this is the Silver Dragon Queen who had defeated me in a second!

The little princess felt an inexplicable sense of pride at this moment.

"Now you're not cute at all, Xia Lulu, you've become bad and despicable…" Dorothea grumbled, clearly not satisfied, muttering non-stop.

"Don't bully my daughter again, take this as a lesson, Dorothea."

As soon as Xia Lulu finished speaking, she waved her hand, and several ice spears quickly formed, piercing Dorothea through, leaving her chilled to the core.

This sudden turn of events shocked even Xia Yi.

The ice spears had struck vital points, the head, the heart…

There was no way she could survive this!

Dorothea's eyes widened as she fell into the flowers, motionless.

"Ah, ah… this, this…"

Elly's glow sticks fell to the ground, her legs went weak, terrified by Xia Lulu's ruthlessness.

Xia Yi didn't know what to say for a moment and stood there stunned.

Just then—

"How unfair, Xia Lulu, you've ruined one of my bodies, you know how much trouble it is for me to make one!"

Xia Yi heard Dorothea's complaint.

But wasn't Dorothea already lying there, dead?

Where was the voice coming from?

Xia Yi looked up and saw the golden figure on the cross, almost unable to believe her eyes.
