LIGHTNOVELWORLD Volume 1 Chapter 13
13. Voluntary Fall
Xia Lulu looked slightly puzzled. “Xia Yi, what did you just say?”
“I said, I challenge you!”
This time, Xia Yi had made up her mind. No matter what happened, she couldn’t waver.
She had to wash away all the humiliation and make herself turn back to normal.
“Hmm…”
Xia Lulu began to ponder. After thinking for a moment, she opened a box on the table.
Inside were pastries.
“Xia Yi, don’t throw a tantrum. Come have some dessert. This is osmanthus cake that Lucia brought back from the human world.”
“Osmanthus cake?”
“Yes, didn’t you particularly like this before? I gave you a taste once, and afterward, you kept pestering me, saying you wanted to eat it again. Here, I brought it back for you.”
“You actually… remember that,” Xia Yi was a bit surprised. “I just mentioned it casually.”
“Of course, dear daughter. I keep all your requests in my heart.”
Xia Lulu stood up, picked up a piece, and put it into Xia Yi’s mouth.
A refreshing sweetness spread on Xia Yi’s tongue, and her mood became much happier without her realizing it.
“Xia Yi, it’s still too early for you. Wait until you grow up a bit more.”
Xia Lulu patted Xia Yi’s head, especially that tuft of silver hair sticking up.
Under the Silver Dragon Queen’s double attack, Xia Yi felt like her heart was about to melt, almost agreeing with Xia Lulu’s wishes.
But at this moment, a slight stinging sensation came from her hand. She glanced over and saw that the Holy Sword mark was faintly glowing.
Xia Yi suddenly woke up. She absolutely couldn’t be swayed by sugar-coated bullets.
She gritted her teeth and pushed Xia Lulu away from her.
“It’s useless! Xia Lulu, don’t think you can buy me off like this now!”
“Isn’t the osmanthus cake delicious?”
“Delicious!”
This was Xia Yi’s first thought.
But she quickly realized she had let her guard down and hurriedly corrected herself.
“But, that has nothing to do with me challenging you!”
“What is Xia Yi’s reason for challenging me?” Xia Lulu put her hands in front of her flat chest. “Although in the history of the dragons, it’s normal for the Dragon King’s offspring to challenge and fight for power… I think it’s still too early for a child like you.”
“Who are you calling a child? I’m not!”
Xia Yi thought for a moment.
When she was still the Human Sword Saint, she was already in her twenties. Plus the time she was forcibly turned into a dragon…
By any count, she was almost thirty!
Such disrespect!
“In my previous life, I was already in my twenties. Silver Dragon Queen, don’t think you can deceive me anymore!”
“…”
Xia Lulu narrowed her eyes.
“I’ve already regained my original memories. You actually used the Dragon Curse to turn me into this form. Quickly change me back to my original form!” Xia Yi intensified her offensive and continued to press Xia Lulu.
“Original form?”
“Yes, the Human Sword Saint Wright Schubert.”
“Pfft!” Xia Lulu laughed. “You still remember those things.”
“So you did it on purpose!” Xia Yi became anxious. “After I failed to slay the dragon, you cursed me, forced me to lose my memories, and turned me into this!”
Xia Lulu wagged her finger. “Wrong, Xia Yi. You’re not the Human Sword Saint, but the Dragon Princess.”
“Xia Lulu, I won’t continue believing your nonsense!”
“Xia Yi, you’ve long accepted the truth without realizing it… Otherwise, the Human Sword Saint wouldn’t have died so cleanly, because you just used the words ‘previous life,’ right?”
“…”
Xia Lulu sat down unhurriedly, crossing her black-stockinged beautiful legs, and watched her daughter with interest. “The Dragon Curse can easily kill humans. Even an ordinary Dragon Curse is not something humans can withstand. But the curse at that time didn’t immediately kill the Human Sword Saint, but caused changes in his body. Guess, why is that?”
“Why is that…?”
Xia Yi herself couldn’t figure out the reason, but she was extremely curious in her heart.
“At that time, you had already been abandoned by everyone. There was no place in this world that could accept you anymore. Family and friends had all betrayed you. Having lost everything, you had already had the thought of giving up your human identity… And the Dragon King’s Curse I bestowed upon you merely followed the wishes in your heart, making you completely reborn as a dragon.”
Xia Lulu’s voice was like a devil tempting someone into the abyss, incessantly echoing in Xia Yi’s ears.
“Wright Schubert is dead. You are now Xia Yi · Christie.”
“How is that possible? It can’t be…”
Xia Yi shook her head desperately. Although she was very unhappy, she couldn’t find any strong reason to refute it.
Indeed, at that time, no one had hoped for him to return alive.
So anxious, so anxious, why am I being suppressed by the Silver Dragon Queen? It shouldn’t be!
“Good daughter, it’s because you gave up on yourself, not me. Don’t push things onto me.” Xia Lulu pinched her daughter’s cheeks. “Whether you admit it or not, deep down, you’re thrilled to have me as your mother.”
“How could I possibly like you! I was just deceived by you before. Now that I’ve regained my original memories,” Xia Yi insisted, “Silver Dragon Queen Xia Lulu, you are my mortal enemy!”
“Oh? Mortal enemy?”
“We are destined to fight!”
“You can deceive others, but deceiving yourself is not good, Xia Yi,” Xia Lulu pointed at her clothes. “You can continue to be stubborn, but first look at what you’re wearing.”
“I’m only wearing these clothes out of necessity—”
As Xia Yi spoke, her gaze shifted downward and she froze.
Then, she raised her head and glanced at Xia Lulu’s clothes, her face turning red.
Because the clothes she had chosen were almost the same style as Xia Lulu’s… Only the colors were different. Xia Yi was wearing a light-colored short top and white stockings, while Xia Lulu was wearing a black short top and black stockings.
“Oh my, sometimes, a daughter being too clingy is quite troublesome. To actually choose couple’s outfits matching with me, I’m even a little embarrassed—”
But there was no trace of embarrassment on Xia Lulu’s face at all. She was completely immersed in the joy of teasing her daughter, clearly enjoying it very much. She was thoroughly a sadist!
She pulled the silver-haired loli with steam coming out of her head in front of her, forcing the shy Xia Yi to look her in the eye, making her daughter anxious and angry, almost to the point of tears.
“Good daughter, how do you explain this?”
“This isn’t! I just randomly chose it. It means nothing!”
“Randomly chose it, then that means this kind of thought has already been engraved in your subconscious?”
“N-No, that’s not it…”
“It seems that after my outstanding adjustment and education, your body and mind have already fallen to become a Dragon Princess.” The Silver Dragon Queen raised a wicked smile.
At this moment, the little Dragon Princess was at a loss for words.
How could she continue arguing like this?
She felt that she was being beaten into continuous retreat by Xia Lulu and was about to be defeated…
Help, what should I do!
