LIGHTNOVELWORLD Volume 1 Chapter 8
08. Joyfully Sent Away!
Although it was Xia Yi’s first time seeing this swordsman, she felt that this image was very familiar and even immediately associated it with the Human Sword Saint mentioned by Xia Lulu.
There was no mistake. This was the Human Sword Saint!
She was certain of it.
However, why would the Human Sword Saint appear in the Dragon Palace?
This was completely impossible. It wasn’t easy to sneak into the Dragon Palace. Humans couldn’t even get past the guards at the main gate.
Perhaps out of a dragon’s instinctive reaction, Xia Yi twisted her waist and swung her big tail, smashing the mirror and sending it flying.
“Back! Back! Back!”
Xia Yi felt an extremely bad premonition in her heart and chose to rush out of the room to find Sera’s whereabouts.
“Sera!”
“Sera!!”
“Y-You come out now! Don’t hide from me!”
In the pitch-black corridor, Xia Yi raised her voice and called out for Sera.
But Sera didn’t respond at all.
“Sera, if you don’t come out, I’m going to get angry. The consequences of my anger are very serious. I’ll punish you… by making you eat cream cakes and fried chicken legs until you get fat and die!”
Xia Yi shouted loudly.
In the empty corridor, there was only an echo.
The silent moonlight shone down, illuminating the little princess’s silver hair and her aggrieved face.
“If Sera has disappeared, then I’ll go find someone else!”
“Lucia!! Lucia!!”
“Mother!! Mother!”
Xia Yi started running, shouting all the way. If it were any other time, she would have already caused an uproar in the Dragon Palace.
But now, it was eerily quiet.
The guards patrolling the palace at night were nowhere to be seen. There wasn’t a single sign of life, as if everyone in the entire palace had vanished into thin air, leaving only Xia Yi alone in this space.
She rushed to Xia Lulu’s bedroom and pushed open the door, but she didn’t see her mother.
The other people’s rooms were the same. There wasn’t a single person.
“D-Did I… encounter a ghost?!”
This was the first time Xia Yi had encountered such a situation, and she couldn’t help but become frightened… She immediately entered her strongest defensive state to protect herself—
She found a corner, squatted down, and hugged her head.
A long time passed, and nothing changed.
“I guess even if I hide here, no one will come looking for me?”
Xia Yi had no choice but to start thinking.
If it were ghosts or monsters, they would have already made a move on her… But apart from the Human Sword Saint in the mirror, she hadn’t seen anything else.
As a magician, she hadn’t detected any traces of magic power, which meant that the current situation wasn’t caused by magic.
Then there was only one possibility—
She was dreaming.
At that time, Sera was coaxing her to sleep. As they were chatting, she fell asleep and entered the realm of dreams.
“Come to think of it, what am I afraid of?”
What was the Human Sword Saint?
Just a weak, addicted, and playful patient!
This weakling Sword Saint actaully dared to mess with me in my dream.
A weak chicken of a Sword Saint dared to play tricks here. Why should I be afraid of you?
The more the little princess thought about it, the angrier she became…
“Damn it!”
Xia Yi stood up.
Furious!
The feeling of anger had long since overshadowed everything else. Xia Yi just wanted to find this Human Sword Saint as soon as possible and give him a good beating.
Xia Yi walked towards her room.
The window seemed to have been opened by someone, and a cold wind kept blowing in, extinguishing the candlelight.
However, such a scene didn’t scare Xia Yi away. Instead, it added fuel to her emotional fire.
“You dare to scare me? You really deserve a beating!”
She walked over and propped up the mirror that had fallen on the ground.
Initially, the mirror reflected the dragon loli, but the mirror surface became blurred like ripples on a lake, and then the image of the Human Sword Saint appeared again.
Xia Yi raised her hand.
And so did the Human Sword Saint.
“Still pretending? Come out!”
Xia Yi grabbed the Human Sword Saint’s gauntlet, feeling its tangible presence, and pulled him out of the mirror, slamming him against the wall.
Boom!
Xia Yi’s bedroom shook violently. After a loud bang, a large hole was smashed in the wall, and the Human Sword Saint was sent flying out, landing on the ground outside the castle.
Such a fierce impact seemed to have no effect on the Human Sword Saint. He stood up from the ground as if nothing had happened.
Xia Yi jumped down from the hole next to the wall and landed steadily on the ground. Her movement technique was perfect!
“State your name, human.” She asked arrogantly.
The Human Sword Saint remained silent, staring at Xia Yi.
“How rude. Are you scared silly? I am Xia Yi · Christie, the Silver Dragon Princess who will grant you destruction!”
Xia Yi was still very polite, after all, she had received elite royal education from Xia Lulu.
Dragons must always maintain their nobility!
The Human Sword Saint raised his hand and muttered something in a low voice.
Although it should have been an indistinguishable mumble, Xia Yi could understand it. He was calling for the Holy Sword Gram.
Sure enough, the Holy Sword appeared in the Human Sword Saint’s hand.
What was this guy trying to do? When asked, he didn’t say a word.
Xia Yi really couldn’t figure it out.
But since the other party had already provoked her like this, she couldn’t possibly not respond.
“Since you so eagerly seek death, I don’t mind sending your lingering soul to the afterlife!”
Xia Yi raised her hand, intending to summon her Rose Staff and casually toss a few Fireball spells to blast this Human Sword Saint into ashes.
But she remembered something.
Wait, he has it, and I have it too.
“Holy Sword! Gram!”
Xia Yi’s voice was stern, as if issuing a command.
The Holy Sword in the Human Sword Saint’s hand actually flew up and, under a strong will, fell into her hand.
The Human Sword Saint seemed to be in a hurry and also wanted to snatch the Holy Sword back.
But how could Xia Yi give him a chance?
Dragon King’s Pressure!
Her silver eyes glowed faintly, and the pressure, like a tangible impact, pushed the Human Sword Saint back.
As Xia Yi, who possessed royal blood, she naturally inherited powerful techniques from her mother.
Although the power and effect were inferior compared to Xia Lulu’s, it was enough to blast fish in a pond!
“In the end, your own soul is shattered by the Holy Sword that accompanied you. How do you feel now, Human Sword Saint?”
Xia Yi couldn’t help but laugh. This Sword Saint, like a victim, could only watch as the sword in his hand was taken away, powerless to do anything.
The Human Sword Saint charged forward as if he had lost his mind.
Countless sword techniques flooded into Xia Yi’s mind. She actually mastered many sword techniques without a teacher… With the Holy Sword Gram in hand, she was even more like a fish in water.
“Slash!”
Xia Yi unleashed a fierce sword beam, like a shooting star piercing the night sky. The brilliant light momentarily illuminated the heavens.
There was nothing more to say. With this slash, the Human Sword Saint was joyfully sent away!
