She was held.
The little princess hasn't felt the embrace of Xia Lulu for a long time.
"Xia Yi, you have already won everyone's recognition, so let's offset your merits and demerits and give you a small reward."
Xia Lulu touched Xia Yi's head.
"As expected of my daughter, you performed really well~"
Xia Yi was stunned for a moment, her face flushed, "This, this is not a reward for me at all, I won't be happy just because of this! Don't get me wrong, this should be considered a punishment for me...!"
As she said this, the little princess' voice gradually became softer and her tail began to wag happily.
After all, the dragon loli's tail won't lie.
52 Noble and Unyielding Soul
It was a long time before Xia Lulu let go of Xia Yi.
Xia Yi blinked and looked at her mother.
"What's wrong?" Xia Lulu asked with a smile, "Daughter, do you want other rewards? For example, besides a pat on the head..."
"I've already said this isn't a reward, it's just a punishment!"
Xia Yi stood up reluctantly, actually she really wanted more.
"Why don't you come to my room tonight? Just like before, I'll tell you some interesting bedtime stories." Xia Lulu suggested.
"Don't treat me like a child."
"Isn't Xia Yi a child?"
"Of course I've grown up!"
Xia Yi put her hands on her hips proudly.
But after several seconds, I realized something was wrong.
"No, I'm an adult. What do you mean by grown up? Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue!"
"Xia Yi, I am a little concerned about the Black Stone Country."
Xia Lulu started talking about business.
"Is the fox you're fighting really the princess of the fox tribe?"
"Yes, that little fox is not weak. She calls herself Yueliu Jituserzoya, and the sword she uses is also very strange. It is the fox clan's sacred weapon, named Yingyue. After it was activated, it sucked me and her into a mysterious barrier. I defeated her inside before I could leave the barrier."
Xia Yi narrated to Xia Lulu what happened that day.
After listening, Xia Lulu fell into deep thought.
"It seems that she is indeed the daughter of the Nine-Tailed Fox King. If it wasn't for the Nine-Tailed Fox King's instruction, how could the Fox Princess go to the Black Stone Kingdom... The Fox Clan is interfering and intervening in the Lizard Clan's civil war. As expected, they have set their sights on the vassal states of the Dragon Kingdom."
"These are all conspiracies of the fox clan. Yue Liu also said... um."
Xia Yi is stuck.
At that time, Yue Liu said a lot of very immature remarks, but she didn't remember any of them.
"In short, the meaning is that times are changing!"
"Well, I see."
Xia Lulu's reaction wasn't very surprising.
Xia Yi recalled what her mother had taught her before, that these foreigners were all rats in the sewers, and they would definitely gather together and wait for an opportunity to discuss how to deal with the powerful cat.
If we only dared to fantasize in the past, now we have to start taking action.
The fox tribe's interference in the internal affairs of the Dragon Kingdom's vassal states is a bubble that has surfaced.
There must be more lurking beneath this bubble...
"Xia Yi, you must be tired after being away from home for a while. Go back and have a good rest." Xia Lulu said.
You too, mother!
Xia Yi almost blurted it out, but luckily she held it back.
"Then I...will leave."
Xia Yi left the hall. Before stepping out of the door, she looked back deliberately and then ran away.
After seeing her daughter leave, Xia Lulu's expression became a little complicated. On the one hand, she was happy from the bottom of her heart, and on the other hand, she was worried.
"Xia Yi, you should be more decisive. You can't become the Dragon King this way."
……
Xia Yi returned to her bedroom.
She saw the maid waiting in her room.
"Welcome back, Your Highness." Sera bowed to Xia Yi.
"Sierra!"
Xia Yi walked over and almost hugged him with joy.
No, no, maintain your image!
"Sera, I'm back. Have you been thinking about me these days?"
"Yes, I do." Sera smiled. "Your Highness, you should have met Her Majesty the Queen just now, right?"
"Of course."
"Look at how happy Her Royal Highness the Princess is. She must have been acting cute to her mother."
"Well, no, no! How could I show that I was happy?" Xia Yi retorted, "On the contrary, it was Xia Lulu who couldn't help hugging me as soon as she saw me. She must be afraid of being lonely. There's nothing I can do about her, and she even wants to act like a spoiled child to me..."
Sera really didn't want to expose Xia Yi. Anyone with a discerning eye could see who was acting coquettishly towards whom.
The maid glanced at the little princess's tail and understood everything.
"By the way, Sera, do the dragons in the Dragon Kingdom know about my victory over the Gudan army in the Black Stone Kingdom?"
"Yes, I understand. Sister has already told all the dragons about your achievements."
"So...what is everyone talking about?"
Xia Yi opened her eyes wide, stood on tiptoe, and stared at Sera. Her expectant expression seemed to be saying - "I'm awesome, praise me!"
"Everyone has expressed great recognition of your ability as the future heir of the Dragon Clan. You have performed impeccably. Everyone sincerely admires the strength you have demonstrated."
"Great!"
Xia Yi jumped up.
Finally, everyone has gradually accepted me. Who still regards themselves as a mascot?
"Your Highness, I will help you take a bath."
"Okay, okay~" Xia Yi nodded obediently.
……
After Sera helped Xia Yi wash herself, it was almost time to go to bed, so Sera left first.
"Wow~"
Xia Yi jumped onto her big bed in her pajamas, hugged the soft pillow, and felt the familiar smell of the bedding. She immediately felt at ease.
Is this right?
She hugged the pillow and rolled over on the bed.
"Hey, I'm so happy today~~"
Xia Yi squinted her eyes, feeling sleepy, and yawned several times, ready to fall asleep, but...
Something seems wrong?
In a daze, she saw the mark of the holy sword on her body.
and many more! !
"No, why am I getting used to being treated like this? I'm even happy about being recognized by the dragons. Am I falling into depravity again?!"
The silver-haired loli held her head and cried out.
Could it be that she chose to return to the Dragon Palace because she began to accept her identity as a dragon princess from the bottom of her heart?
"No, no, no, that's impossible. It's not like that. I must have a profound reason for coming back. For example, for example..."
Xia Yi began to think hard, sitting on the bed for a long time, and then pounded his hand.
"I see, that's how it is!"
She understood why she did not leave Black Stone Country at that time, because all of this was due to——
self-esteem.
She had challenged Xia Lulu before, but was defeated.
As a human, Wright certainly tasted many defeats and was not always invincible.
But Letter did not choose to escape, but to practice, to challenge again and to overcome failure. It was because of this that he possessed an indomitable sword heart, defeated powerful enemies step by step and became the sword saint of the human race.
It was his own swordsman who would not allow him to leave the Kingdom of Dragons like this. After all, this was no different from running away.
Wherever you fall, you get up.
Coming back is only natural.
"Phew~ I was so scared, I thought I had fallen again," Xia Yi laughed at the engraving, "Sure enough, I am still a swordsman with a noble and unyielding soul, old friend, you must think so too~!"
