Is It Funny That The Dragon Slayer Failed And Became The Dragon Princess?

172. Forever With Me

The security measures in the Dragon Palace were comprehensive, making it nearly impossible for dangerous individuals to infiltrate.

Yet now, there was undoubtedly a kidnapper who had suddenly attacked Xia Yi.

A sack was put over the silver-haired loli’s head, and she was carried away on the kidnapper’s shoulder.

In this situation, could it be…?

In Xia Yi’s mind, a thought gradually surfaced.

There’s a traitor among us!

Most crucially, this traitor’s strength was astonishingly powerful. Xia Yi couldn’t even fight back.

With her Third Tier strength, she was no match at all and couldn’t even resist. She could only obediently be bagged and tied up.

Thud!

Xia Yi was suddenly put down on the ground.

“Ugh…”

The sack had a gap. Xia Yi moved her body to crawled out.

She didn’t know where she had been taken, only that it was a pitch-black space…

Swish swish swish!

Three blinding rays of light shone on Xia Yi’s face, forcing her to squint.

“Kekeke!”

Xia Yi saw a dragon dressed in strange attire standing in front of her, raising both arms, making a weird gesture, and letting out a very tasteless laugh.

Moreover, that dragon was wearing a very bizarre mask and a black cape, just like a clichéd villain from a third-rate stage play.

“Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?!” Xia Yi questioned.

It would have been better if the weirdo didn’t speak, but as soon as they opened their mouth, the voice didn’t match the outfit at all.

“I am… the Blue Enchantress!!”

“…”

Xia Yi observed carefully. This weirdo had long blue hair, and beneath the mask, those blue eyes also exuded a silly aura.

With that voice that didn’t even try to act, it couldn’t be anyone but Atiya.

“Atiya, what are you doing?” Xia Yi asked directly.

Atiya, or rather the Blue Enchantress, was startled and took a step back before bursting into laughter again. “Kekeke! I am the Blue Enchantress!!”

“You’re clearly Atiya!”

“Kekeke!! I am the Blue Enchantress!!”

The Blue Enchantress had entered repeat mode.

It seemed that unless Xia Yi triggered the keyword, she would never move on to the next line.

“Blue Enchantress, what do you want to do with me?” Xia Yi had no choice but to play along.

“Kekeke! Silver Dragon Princess, I want to play a game with you,” the Blue Enchantress waved her hand grandly. “Now, you have been invited into the game space by me. No matter what methods you use, you can’t leave here. If you want to go back, you’ll have to play this game with me and win!”

“…”

“Kekeke, you must be so scared, but crying is useless. Even if you cry until your throat is hoarse, no one will come to save you…”

“Atiya, enough!! By the name of Xia Yi · Christie, Princess of the Royal Silver Dragon Family, I order you to release me and let me go back now!”

“Wh-what?”

“Hurry up, hurry up!!” Xia Yi struggled. “To play this kind of prank on me, you big dummy, I’m going to get angry… When I tell Xia Lulu, you’ll be in big trouble!”

“I-I am the Blue Enchantress!”

“What Blue Enchantress, you clearly aren’t! Let me go!!”

Xia Yi took a deep breath and used her ultimate technique—

Fake crying!

“Wuuuahhh!! Wuuuahhh!!”

“Ah, ah! Princess, don’t cry!”

Atiya finally couldn’t keep up the act. She took off her mask and walked up to Xia Yi to comfort her.

“I’ll untie you right now.”

“Let me go!”

“Okay, okay.”

Atiya untied the ropes binding Xia Yi.

Xia Yi was very angry. How could this very smart dragon suddenly do this kind of thing to her? Kidnapping a member of the Royal Dragon Family, even if it was a prank, was a serious crime. It couldn’t be brushed off with just saying it was a joke.

Atiya might be scatterbrained usually, but she had always been clear about these things.

Did she take the wrong medicine?

“I’m leaving!”

Xia Yi turned to leave.

She had only walked a short distance when an extremely strong sense of danger surged.

This was the intuition of a Sword Saint. A lethal killing intent had emerged, and she was about to be attacked.

Before her brain could comprehend it, her body reacted first, lunging to the side.

Boom!!

Accompanied by a tremendous sound, the spot where Xia Yi had just been standing was struck by an exaggerated force, causing the ground to collapse and form a deep pit.

“Atiya?” Xia Yi was astonished.

“You can avoid that?” Atiya looked a bit surprised. “Unbelievable. It’s just as Her Majesty said. Your potential is really high.”

“Atiya, do you understand what you’re doing?!”

Atiya had clearly attacked a member of the Royal Dragon Family, but she still had a somewhat dazed expression on her face. Only now, it seemed a bit spine-chilling, like… a natural black-hearted person.

“Princess, this morning, I encountered Her Majesty. She gave me a very important task.”

“What task?”

“Before explaining what the task is, Princess, I want to discuss your strength,” Atiya stared at Xia Yi. “Right now, you should be at the Third Tier, right?”

“Yes, I’ve always been at the Third Tier…”

“Wrong! You have a mistaken understanding of your own strength. In fact, you have already touched the bottleneck and are about to step into the Fourth Tier,” Atiya corrected. “You have never been aware of this. Think carefully about what you have experienced recently.”

“Experienced… what?”

Xia Yi was stumped.

She carefully recalled her recent experiences.

Unknowingly, she had gone through many battles, faced terrifying enemies, and even Legendary Beasts. She had been on the verge of death… It was precisely in such situations that one’s potential could be stimulated the most, allowing one’s strength to reach a higher level.

Compared to the first time she summoned the Holy Sword against the golem, her strength had improved significantly.

At that time, she was already at the Third Tier.

“It seems you are gradually understanding. Without mentioning these things, you wouldn’t even be aware of it yourself, let alone break through the bottleneck. The task Her Majesty gave me is to help you cross this threshold and enter the Fourth Tier. So, I thought of a really great method.”

“Therefore, I will take good care of you, Princess!”

Atiya’s smile became radiant.

Xia Yi had a bad feeling. “What… kind of care?”

“This space is very special. I can’t actively leave. Only Fourth Tier strength can break through it. So, if you don’t break through to the Fourth Tier, you’ll never be able to leave in this lifetime and can only stay with me forever!”
