NOVEL WEB Volume 2 Chapter 161
161. The Best Partner
“What’s wrong, Lucia? You seem restless.”
In the break room of the Royal Maid Corps, Atiya asked.
Lucia raised her eyes, glanced at Atiya, and explained, “Today, I gave Elly a task to wash the dirty clothes. The workload is a lot, the amount for an official member of the Royal Maid Corps.”
“Oho, are you testing the junior?”
“You could say that. Actually, when you think about it, Elly is indeed a bit clumsy… But if no one is watching, she can do it well,” Lucia said. “Recently, I’ve been giving her quite a formal workload… But Elly has been working very hard and completed it all. Her potential is very good.”
“Isn’t that great then! I’ve always had high hopes for Elly!”
Atiya showed her carefree smile.
When this smile appeared, the blue-haired dragon girl’s elegant and intelligent image instantly collapsed, making her look like a big puppy.
“But I have a bad feeling today…”
“Don’t worry, leave it to me. Let me go see what the junior is doing now!!”
Atiya patted her ample chest, voluntarily taking on the task.
“Mm, go take a look.”
Lucia agreed. Right now, Atiya was the only one free in the break room. The others were not here, and she herself had a task later.
…
Elly felt her nerves being stimulated, her consciousness becoming a bit hazy, and she started losing control.
How can a dragon not release their true form? They’re just holding it in!
Can’t hold it in, transform directly!
Hold it—
Elly released her true dragon form. At that moment, she felt the sky was high for birds to fly, the sea was vast for fish to leap. The entire world was embracing her. So free.
Too free!
“Awoo!!”
The huge green dragon that had already released her true form directly leaped forward, landing on the ground. Her massive body shook the earth.
It didn’t end there. Elly started rolling around.
“Awoo! Awoo!”
The green giant dragon rolled back and forth all over the courtyard, knocking over all the clotheslines. The washed clothes were now all dirty.
“Awoo! Awoo!”
It still didn’t end. Elly started running in circles. The clothes were blown up by the wind caused by her movements, like a sky full of white doves flying everywhere.
“Let me see if the hardworking junior has properly completed her task…”
Atiya said as she walked into the courtyard.
Then, the scene unfolding before her eyes was so shocking that she almost froze on the spot.
“6.”
This number was the only thing that could express Atiya’s feelings, nothing else.
“Awoo!!”
After seeing Atiya, Elly pounced on her.
Faced with the oncoming crazed green giant dragon, Atiya’s face changed. “Don’t come over here!!”
She raised her fist and smashed it on Elly’s head.
Boom!!
Accompanied by an explosive sound, a terrifying force erupted. The violent shockwave blew the green giant dragon crashing into the palace corridor, instantly collapsing it. The floor-to-ceiling windows all shattered.
“Ah…”
Elly’s eyes were spinning, stopped by Atiya’s punch.
Looking at the devastated scene, Atiya was sweating profusely… If Lucia found out that she had shattered the main corridor of the Dragon Palace…
No!
Here, she would sacrifice herself for a just cause, brave junior!!
“Oh no!!” Atiya shouted at the top of her lungs. “Elly went crazy and crushed the corridor of the Dragon Palace!!”
…
“W-What was I doing?!!”
Outside, Elly woke up. Seeing the scene before her, her face turned ashen.
“Captain, this way! The culprit is here!”
Atiya kept waving people over, preparing to catch Elly together.
“No!! I don’t remember anything! Did… Did I really do this? Wuuaaaahhhh!”
“Hmph, trying to escape!!”
Atiya leaped up, cutting off Elly’s escape route.
“No!!” Elly held her head and let out a tragic wail.
“Hehehe!”
The silver-haired loli observing in the dark revealed a sinister smile.
What a perfect experiment.
This Release Potion is an alchemical potion that aligns perfectly with her desires.
When the important royal event comes, she’ll secretly slip some to Xia Lulu, making her consume the Release Potion. By then, she’ll make a complete fool of herself!
Thinking of that scene, Xia Yi found it amusing.
A cute little silver dragon, a bit bigger than a cat, rolling around in circles on the ground while howling…
Even if the Silver Dragon Queen encountered this situation, her majesty would completely collapse!
The little princess slipped back into the shadows, disappearing without anyone noticing.
…
Now, Xia Yi’s evil plan is progressing steadily.
She can move on to the next stage.
On the day of the event, in order to maintain their condition… Xia Lulu and Xia Yi will both take some beneficial potions to protect their throats and boost their energy, preventing accidents or poor condition during the event.
It is precisely at this moment that Xia Yi can take action and secretly add a little something.
But the problem lies here.
To ensure her innocence, Xia Yi must be present in front of Xia Lulu the entire time… If she disappears for no reason, she will definitely be suspected.
So, she needs an accomplice.
“But who would help me?” Xia Yi pondered this question.
Based on the current situation, there is absolutely no one in the entire Dragon Palace who would help her… If she told Lucia or Sera and the others, she would be directly exposed. Elly’s also out of the question. No matter how much of an idiot she is, she wouldn’t dare to secretly add something.
The guards were even less likely to help.
Xia Yi can’t split herself into another Xia Yi…
“What should I do? If I get stuck at this step, my entire plan will be ruined.” Xia Yi frowned.
Could it be that there really isn’t a single person willing to help her?
Ideally, someone who isn’t afraid of Xia Lulu at all, can’t distinguish right from wrong, is very easy to manipulate, and won’t be suspected afterwards…
“Eh, isn’t there a perfect candidate for this?”
The little princess had a flash of inspiration. A small figure appeared in her mind. She clapped her hands, suddenly realizing.
Absolutely unsuspicious, smart and brave, had even helped Xia Yi out of a predicament before, a good partner in times of crisis!
…
Dragon Palace, back garden.
“Mousey, are you there? I brought you some peanuts!”
