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

182. A Special Mission

“Hmm? Allowance?”

Xia Yi’s ears perked up at these words, and she stood up from the ground.

Originally dejected from losing to the Silver Dragon Queen, she immediately regained her spirit.

“Allowance? Where? Where?”

“Xia Yi, because you failed in challenging me, you have to accept your defeat,” Xia Lulu said. “You must use your own allowance to make up for the previous damage to the Dragon Palace, understand?”

“Of course I know!”

Although Xia Yi was very dissatisfied in her heart, a loss was a loss. She couldn’t shirk this punishment.

“But my allowance isn’t enough to cover it!”

“I know that, of course. I have a very special mission here. The reward for this mission is very high. As long as you’re willing to take it on and complete it, the subsequent reward… will not only make up for the loss of the Dragon Palace, but you’ll also have a large sum of allowance left for yourself.”

“Really?!”

“Of course. By then, you can buy any limited edition comics you want, and you can even book the most high-end dessert shop in the Royal Capital to hold a dessert party.”

“That’s too awesome!!”

Just imagining that scene made Xia Yi feel like she would float away from happiness.

But then, she felt something was off.

Why would Xia Lulu specifically save such a good thing for her?

That’s impossible!

“Xia Lulu, I don’t believe it. There must be a problem!” Xia Yi pointed out the issue. “How could you possibly let me live so comfortably? That’s not like you. You must be scheming against me!”

“Is that how you see me?” Xia Lulu said helplessly. “When have I ever targeted you like that?”

“You haven’t targeted me? Every time, you use despicable tactics to put me in embarrassing situations for your amusement!” Xia Yi said indignantly.

“I haven’t. Daughter, if you didn’t cause trouble, why would I do such things?”

“Eh? Eh! It does seem like…”

Upon reflection, Xia Yi realized that was indeed the case.

If she didn’t court death, she probably wouldn’t always be giving herself away, right?

No, no!

This is just the Silver Dragon Queen’s rhetoric to make me submit!

If I don’t resist Xia Lulu, how can I call myself the Human Sword Saint?

My constant troublemaking is a symbol of not having fallen!

“Hmph, anyway, I don’t believe you would treat me so well!”

Xia Yi began to analyze, “If a mission has such a generous reward, it means you must really need someone to complete this mission. With so many capable dragons in the Royal Maid Corps, they would have done it already. Why would you specifically save it for me?”

“That’s because…” Xia Lulu paused. “Xia Yi, apart from you, no one else can perfectly take on this mission.”

“Only me?”

Xia Yi blinked in surprise.

Each member of the Royal Maid Corps had their own specialties. Lucia and Sera were exceptionally capable, almost perfect all-rounders. Yet there was something even they couldn’t handle?

And only she could do it?

This made Xia Yi even more curious.

Xia Lulu seemed to see through her daughter’s doubts and slowly revealed the shocking mission.

“I need someone to go undercover in the human kingdoms on behalf of the dragons.”

“What?!”

Xia Yi was very shocked upon hearing this mission, almost jumping up.

Xia Lulu explained, “Although Lucia has done something similar by infiltrating the human world before… in the end, she’s still a dragon. She can’t perfectly act the part or mimic humans flawlessly. It’s extremely difficult for the strongest Superior Race, the dragons, to impersonate the weak humans. In our entire race, I think there’s only one candidate who can perfectly play the role of a human.”

If it was an undercover mission among humans, indeed, no one was more suitable than Xia Yi.

Because she used to be the Human Sword Saint!

“This is an arduous task that even Lucia can’t do… That’s why the mission reward is very high and especially suitable for you,” Xia Lulu said. “If you want to earn allowance, this is the best opportunity.”

“I…”

Xia Yi remembered how she had spent so much effort researching transformation potions just to leave the Dragon Kingdom and return to the human world.

And now Xia Lulu suddenly gave her this mission, wasn’t it in line with her own wishes?

Haha!

Xia Lulu, this fool, really doesn’t understand my thoughts at all… Once I take on this mission, I don’t have to worry about undercover work and I can just run off to the human world.

This way, it would be like fulfilling my original wish.

After all, Xia Yi had already obtained the method to turn back into a human. She had long mastered how to refine the transformation potion.

Then, there would be no need to return to the dragons, and she could completely rid herself of these troubles—

It’s decided.

Humph, I should happily accept this mission, and I need to hurry… Otherwise, once Xia Lulu realizes, she will definitely regret it, and that would be bad for me.

Thinking this way, Xia Yi was about to speak.

However…

The silver-haired young dragon looked like she was about to cry, very uneasy and timid. She looked at Xia Lulu with a very humble gaze, like a small animal afraid of being abandoned. Her voice carried a hint of crying. “Xia Lulu, you… don’t want me anymore?”

“…”

“I…”

Xia Yi lowered her head, clutching her skirt.

Getting such an opportunity, she actually didn’t feel happy at all… Instead, she felt flustered and even insecure.

She really didn’t want to be… once again.

“Xia Yi, the battle just now convinced me that you have enough ability to face some things on your own,” Xia Lulu said seriously. “Because you are my daughter, I want to believe in you. I’ve been considering this for a long time and only made up my mind today.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes,” Xia Lulu nodded. “Can you do it, Xia Yi?”

“I-I have no choice!”

Hearing those words, Xia Yi felt the anxious tightness in her heart disappear. A smile appeared on her face, and her tail began to wag.

“Since you’ve put it that way, then it’s not impossible for me to accept this mission. After all, in the entire Dragon Kingdom, only I can do it. It seems without my talent, you can’t manage, Xia Lulu!”

“Will you come back?” Xia Lulu asked.

Xia Yi’s face began to redden slightly. “Hmph, if I don’t come back, you’ll definitely miss me so much that you’ll cry. So… I will definitely complete the mission and come back, understand?”
