LIGHTNOVELWORLD Volume 3 Chapter 13
13. I’m So Happy!
It’s this guy, it’s this guy!!
Xia Yi glared at George, puffing up like a little pufferfish.
This guy arbitrarily modified her past experiences and made up an exaggerated story, causing this comic to spread all over the human world, leading to many people’s misunderstandings about her!
Without her consent, he started making things up. This was infringement, serious infringement.
Good job, George.
When we were young, in order to stand out, I fought three hundred rounds with the thugs.
And now that you’ve grown up, you’re using every means possible to smear me!
“Hm? Miss Xia Yi, have we met before?”
George realized something was off with Xia Yi’s tone.
“Your words just now seemed like you know me, but I don’t remember meeting you before.”
“You… You’re overthinking it! Today is also the first time I’m meeting you.”
Xia Yi quickly averted her gaze.
She had really blurted that out without thinking too much.
Her identity was different from before, and she couldn’t expose herself in front of others.
Damn it!!
If only the transformation potion was a bit more powerful and could restore her original male body, she could directly rush up and teach George a lesson.
But now she couldn’t. She could only pretend not to know him.
“I’m just too happy!”
“Happy?”
George stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then realized.
“I see. Miss Xia Yi, you must be Lord Sword Saint’s loyal fan and really like ‘Legend of the Sword Saint’, right?”
“Uh, uh… Yes.”
Xia Yi had a stiff smile on her face as she said those words against her will.
In fact, she really wanted to punch George’s dog head and smash it!
“No wonder you were so excited just now. In that case, it would be remiss of me not to give you a copy of the latest comic!”
George found a pen, added a new line where the signature was, and then enthusiastically stuffed “Legend of the Sword Saint” into Xia Yi’s hands.
“Miss Xia Yi, please accept this. It’s the only limited edition in the world!”
Xia Yi saw the words on it and almost couldn’t resist tearing the comic apart.
【To the most loyal fan of the Human Sword Saint—Miss Xia Yi, may you be like the Sword Saint in ‘Legend of the Sword Saint’!】
“Be like the protagonist in ‘Legend of the Sword Saint’? I’m so happy, so glad, ahaha…”
On the surface, Xia Yi said that, but in her heart, she planned to burn the comic as soon as she got the chance!
“Miss Xia Yi, it’s great that you like it, haha!”
George laughed heartily, still the same as before, thick-skinned and straightforward.
“George, why did you suddenly come back?” Martha asked.
“Teacher Martha, due to the publisher’s request, I came to the Rhine Kingdom for a comic promotion event. After the event ended, I thought I still had some time, so I came back here to take a look!” George explained. “I also brought some comics for the children to read. These are my latest works, and the plot has even been approved by the Schubert family!”
“Just you? Where are the others?” Xia Yi asked without thinking.
“Others? Miss Xia Yi, who are you referring to?” George’s gaze was a bit strange.
Xia Yi realized that she seemed to have misspoken again.
Oh no, having returned to the Spring Breeze Orphanage and seeing her childhood playmates and Teacher Martha, she had relaxed a bit too much.
“It’s nothing. I was just asking casually, like your classmates or something…”
“Oh, them! They’re all busy. It’s not certain that everyone can find time to come back together, and some can’t even be contacted at all.”
As he spoke, George showed a somewhat sad expression.
“Sigh, like my childhood companion who self-taught swordsmanship and said he wanted to protect everyone. But after being adopted by a noble family, he disappeared without a trace…”
Xia Yi knew who George was talking about.
In fact, she was standing right in front of him but couldn’t explain.
The Schubert family wanted to hide Wright’s origins.
The people in the Spring Breeze Orphanage didn’t know that the noble family that adopted her was actually the Schubert family, let alone that she later became the Human Sword Saint.
Everyone’s impression of her was still from when she was young.
In a sense, it was also a strange coincidence that George became a comic artist depicting the Sword Saint’s story.
…
Xia Yi left the Spring Breeze Orphanage first and met with the servants from the Lawrence family who had come with her. She informed them that she would be staying overnight and told them to find a place to stay for the night and set off to return the next day.
After handling these matters, she returned to the Spring Breeze Orphanage again. By this time, it was almost dinner time.
“Miss Xia Yi, you’re back?” Martha came out to greet her.
“Mm, I’ve already told the servants from our family that I’ll be staying here tonight.” Xia Yi replied.
“Miss Xia Yi, look, these are osmanthus cakes that I made earlier.”
Martha took out a box of osmanthus cakes.
Instantly, Xia Yi’s eyes widened, and her gaze was fixed on the osmanthus cakes.
“Please have a taste.”
Xia Yi’s hands trembled as she took the box. A unique, faint fragrance of osmanthus wafted out from inside.
Although it had been many years since she last tasted the osmanthus cakes from the Spring Breeze Orphanage, even counting the time as the Human Sword Saint, upon smelling this aroma again, her body immediately recalled it.
She picked up a piece and took a small bite.
Fragrant and soft, not overly sweet.
It was exactly the same as before, the flavor she loved the most back then.
“Miss Xia Yi, what’s wrong?” Martha was a bit surprised.
“What’s wrong?”
“You’re crying.”
“Ah?”
Xia Yi only then realized that she had been too immersed in the nostalgic dessert and had actually cried.
How embarrassing. Was she really this sentimental?
“Just now… my eyes felt a bit uncomfortable. Sister Martha, I’m sorry, please excuse me.”
Xia Yi felt very embarrassed. She turned around, quickly wiped away her tears, feeling a bit awkward.
“…”
Martha stared at Xia Yi’s back, falling into silence.
“Sister Martha, your cooking skills are beyond my expectations.”
Xia Yi adjusted her state and faced Martha again.
“I happened to make some extra osmanthus cakes. If you don’t mind, please take some back with you.”
“Mind? How could that be? What I like the most is—”
Xia Yi swallowed the second half of her sentence halfway through and changed her words, “I mean, the taste of the osmanthus cakes is quite good.”
“Thank you for your praise, Miss Xia Yi.” Martha smiled.
…
“Miss, why did you specifically take a detour to come to this city? If we return late, won’t it anger the family?”
“…”
“Miss?”
“It’s nothing. I just want to go to a place called the Spring Breeze Orphanage and take a look.”
