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

183. Heart in Turmoil

Xia Yi and Xia Lulu returned to the Dragon Palace.

Coincidentally, it was time for afternoon tea.

So Xia Lulu invited Xia Yi to the back garden together.

After having the Royal Maid Corps prepare everything, she dismissed the others, leaving only the two loli silver dragons.

“Xia Lulu, what do you want me to do in the human world?” Xia Yi asked straightforwardly.

Xia Lulu picked up a steaming cup of black tea and said slowly, “In the human world, there exists a threat to the dragon race.”

“Humans can actually threaten the dragon race?”

To be honest, this was unexpected for Xia Yi.

To the dragons, humans were completely a weaker race, not even a Superior Race.

The so-called eternal enmity between humans and dragons was only a one-sided belief held by humans.

From a young age, the Human Sword Saint, like most others, received such education.

But after challenging the dragon race, she found that it wasn’t the case at all…

The dragons simply didn’t care about humans.

As the ruler of the dragon race, the Silver Dragon Queen actually felt that there was a threat among the humans and even took it seriously, wanting to investigate it thoroughly. This surprised Xia Yi.

“Xia Lulu, are you serious?”

After waiting for the tea in her hand to cool slightly, Xia Lulu took a sip and nodded.

“I’m serious.”

“But the dragon race has always looked down on humans, right?” Xia Yi asked in confusion.

Xia Lulu’s previous education of her also sufficiently reflected the arrogance of the dragon race. She told her that the dragons were the strongest Superior Race in the world, other Superior Races were not worth mentioning, and humans, not even a Superior Race, were considered weaker than ants.

A group of ants gathering to discuss overthrowing the dragon race… could only be laughable.

If the dragons became alert and seriously dealt with it, that would be strange.

Xia Lulu seemed to see through her daughter’s confusion. “Daughter, you saw the truth hidden in the long river of history in the Great Sea of Trees and learned that in the Mythical Era, humans were enemies of the dragon race, right?”

“Mm, I did see that.”

If Xia Lulu had said this, Xia Yi might have had no concept at all.

Humans could become enemies of the dragon race?

But Xia Yi went to the Great Sea of Trees and saw the records of the Mythical Era in the ancestral temple, learning about the unknown history.

The humans of that time were part of the Superior Races, with a powerful Human King who could even rival the Dragon King of the Mythical Era.

This was an unimaginable situation.

“The humans of the Mythical Era were enemies of the dragons. For the Dragon King of that time, the Human King was a formidable opponent… Although the Dragon King used the war to defeat the Human King, leading to the decline of humans… the fact remains that humans were a threat to dragons.”

Xia Lulu put down her teacup.

“The humans of the Mythical Era and the current humans are completely different existences, like the difference between a sword and an iron ore. However, according to the intelligence Lucia obtained during her activities in the human world, the humans in the Rhine Kingdom have obtained the legacy of the humans from the Mythical Era through some means.”

“What legacy?” Xia Yi asked curiously.

Although she was once an heir of one of the four great families of the Rhine Kingdom, the Schubert family didn’t treat the Human Sword Saint as their own. They only cultivated her as a tool, so the Human Sword Saint didn’t have access to the core secrets of humans.

“This is what I want you to investigate, Daughter. Lucia can no longer continue to investigate deeply any further, as it would expose her dragon identity. The limit of what she learned is that humans have already achieved results by utilizing this legacy, which has greatly satisfied the higher-ups,” Xia Lulu said. “I hope you can find out what exactly the humans are trying to do.”

“I see.”

Xia Yi roughly understood.

The humans of the Mythical Era were indeed strong, and they were part of the Superior Races… If the humans of the current era really could access the legacy of the Mythical Era and had achieved certain results…

According to human thinking, they should want to recreate the glory of being a Superior Race, right?

Then it made sense for Xia Lulu to care about these things.

“There is a vast difference between humans and dragons. We dragons have a natural affinity for magic that humans cannot compare to. For example, red dragons can release fire element dragon breath without needing to learn, while human mages spend their entire lives to possibly learn magic of that level,” Xia Lulu said. “According to some historical materials I’ve come across, during the Mythical Era, humans researched magic in a direction distinctly different from dragons. In certain fields, it had already become incomprehensible and couldn’t even be called magic anymore.”

Listening, Xia Yi felt a bit lost.

During her time as the Human Sword Saint, Wright Schubert only had talent in swordsmanship. In magic, he couldn’t even be called ignorant, he was completely clueless.

Naturally, he also didn’t understand what those powerful mages would research.

This was a field completely unknown to the Human Sword Saint.

Fortunately, Xia Yi’s magic talent was now very strong, fully capable of investigating these matters.

“Will Sera accompany me this time?” Xia Yi asked.

Previously, Sera, as her personal maid, would always go to assist and help whenever Xia Yi went out on a mission.

If not Sera, it would be Lucia.

However, Xia Lulu shook her head. “This time, you’ll go alone. Daughter, this will be a test. If you really encounter danger, there won’t be anyone to help you like before.”

Xia Yi indicated her understanding. Although no one would accompany her, she didn’t back down and remained full of confidence.

“Don’t worry! I’ll excellently complete this solo mission! Xia Lulu, just wait home for my good news!”

…

The nine-tailed fox girl in miko attire sat on a giant rock by the waterfall, concentrating intently, trying to enter a state of emptiness.

Yue Liu closed her eyes, feeling the clear water flowing down from above and hitting the water surface.

She listened to all the sounds of the world, feeling the movement of all things with her heart.

It’s coming!

Suddenly, Yue Liu’s eyes snapped open. She quickly grasped her sword—Sakura Moon—and swiftly slashed out a streak of light, seemingly cutting through the waterfall.

In the brief moment when the waterfall split, she saw a cherry blossom petal… which remained intact.

“I…”

Yue Liu’s expression changed slightly.

At that moment, a voice sounded from behind the Fox Princess.

“Yue Liu, your heart is in turmoil!”
