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

99. Out of Reach

Seeing Sera’s reaction, Xia Yi was overjoyed, feeling a special kind of pleasure in her heart.

It seemed to be getting more and more delightful.

“Big Sis—”

“…”

“Big Sis—”

“…”

“Big Sister—”

Xia Yi circled around Sera while teasing her with this title.

Under her offensive, Sera blushed and muttered in a low voice, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have agreed to Lucia’s request and just let her come…”

“Hey, Sera, what’s that photo?”

Xia Yi discovered something interesting.

The photo in Sera’s frame seemed to be a group picture, taken as a memento of some sort.

In the background, someone was holding a banner that read “Warmly celebrate the official establishment of the Hechi Gang!”

And Sera was standing in the center, with a cold expression. The key point was that this was Sera from the past. She was shorter than now and looked a bit cute…

“Hmph.”

Sera noticed Xia Yi observing the frame and quickly turned it over, clearly not wanting Xia Yi to see more.

“Sera, let me see!”

“No.”

Sera lifted the frame high, using her height advantage to place it on top of the cabinet.

She didn’t want Xia Yi to see what she used to look like.

“Damn it! Can’t reach!”

The little princess stood in front of the cabinet, tiptoeing and stretching her arms as far as she could, but she just couldn’t touch the frame.

The photo frame was clearly in sight, yet it was so far away?

This was completely height suppression.

Sera’s action was basically looking down on Xia Yi, showing contempt to her height.

After all, this white-haired loli was just over 1.4 meters tall.

“Sera, you’ve gone too far. You’re belittling the bloodline of the Royal Silver Dragon Family!!”

Xia Yi was indignant.

When she was the Human Sword Saint before, her height had always been something she looked down on others for, but now she had become a shorty!

“This is all because Your Highness is picky with food. If you ate more vegetables, like broccoli, bitter gourd, so on… maybe you would have grown taller.”

Sera counterattacked.

This directly hit Xia Yi’s sore spot.

She actually mentioned the foods she especially hated!

“I’m not picky. I’m just… selectively eating, making reasonable choices based on my own appetite!” Xia Yi argued. “Also, bitter gourd is not food at all. It’s something that absolutely cannot be put in the mouth!”

As she was about to launch into a tirade against bitter gourd, footsteps came from outside the door.

It should be Jiye coming back.

Xia Yi, somewhat reluctantly, had to put her critique of bitter gourd on hold for next time, as there were more pressing matters to deal with.

She and Sera sat back on the sofa.

“Big Sister, I’m back!”

Jiye entered, closing the door behind him.

Having not seen Sera for years, he had a lot to say.

“Big Sister, you disappeared for so long. What exactly happened? I thought something happened to you, that you’d never come back!”

“It’s a long story… In short, I got a new job.” Sera said.

“New job?”

“Do you remember when the leader of the Cangqing Gang suddenly disappeared back then?”

“Of course I remember. How could I forget? The former leader of the Cangqing Gang was an evenly matched opponent to Big Sister.”

“Indeed, I got news of her and went after her,” Sera explained. “She went north, so I also went north. Some things happened, and I found a new job and stayed in the north.”

“So that’s… how it is?” Jiye still felt a bit confused after listening. “But I don’t quite understand. Why did the members of the Cangqing Gang not know the whereabouts of their leader, but Big Sister knew?”

Sera was silent for a moment and then spoke the truth. “Actually… she and I are sisters. I knew she went north through our father.”

“Sisters?!”

Jiye felt this was unexpected, but also made sense.

Because Sera and Lucia looked a bit similar in appearance and were both Red Dragons, there were rumors that the two were sisters.

Lucia never commented on this.

If anyone else dared to mention this to Sera, she would definitely be furious.

This news was never confirmed and could only be speculation. Today, Sera personally said it, confirming the speculation from back then.

“Big Sister and Lucia are sisters, yet they competed to such an extent that it was impossible to tell they were related by blood…” Jiye sighed. “Ah, I don’t mean that. Anyway, I believe Big Sister really wanted to take down the Cangqing Gang.”

“Although she and I are sisters, we both chose to temporarily give up our surnames and leave the family at that time, relying on our own hands to survive in the outside world… No matter who stood in our way, we had to eliminate them. These have nothing to do with our background, only with ourselves.” Sera said.

Xia Yi didn’t speak, but she heard some interesting content. As expected, Lucia was not simple either. She was also a gang leader before and the leader of the Cangqing Gang. These two gangs were mutually hostile.

Based on what she had learned these past few days, the leaders of the Cangqing Gang and Hechi Gang must have fought a lot in the past.

She felt that the relationship between these two sisters in the past was becoming more and more confusing.

“I was sure that after I left the gang, you would take the initiative to stand up and become the leader, to protect the Hechi Gang. I didn’t expect that you could develop the Hechi Gang to be even stronger. For that, you deserve praise, Xiaoye.” Sera smiled.

“Big Sister…”

Jiye’s nose felt a bit sour.

He had worked hard for so many years, indeed hoping for Sera’s recognition.

Occasionally, he would think, if Big Sister hadn’t disappeared and stayed in the gang, would she have done better than him?

Absolutely can’t let Big Sister down.

With this mentality, Jiye had always persisted.

So now, hearing Sera’s praise, he felt all his efforts were worthwhile.

“Now that Big Sister has returned to Corolle, are you going to rejoin the Hechi Gang?” Jiye asked excitedly. “Big Sister, you should take up the position of leader of the Hechi Gang again, just like before!”

“Sorry, Xiaoye, I have to disappoint you. I don’t have that idea for now,” Sera said. “Besides, you’re doing very well now, I don’t want to replace you.”

“Is that… so?” Jiye’s expression couldn’t help but show some disappointment.

“My job is very important, and I can’t tell you the details for now. But I can promise that when things are over, I can tell you what my current job is.”

People always have to look forward. Sera is now a member of the Royal Maid Corps, and her duty was to serve the Royal Dragon Family. She would not return to the gang.

“I understand.”

Jiye let out a light sigh.

Although a bit regretful, he also sensed that Big Sister had changed a lot.

In front of this silver-haired loli, even her temperament had changed. Sera was not as domineering as before, looking down on everything, acting like she was the only one in the world… Now she was very restrained.

“But since Big Sister came to find me, it must be for something important, right?”

“Hmm, strictly speaking, coming to see you is the young lady’s wish—” Sera looked at Xia Yi.

Xia Yi immediately understood and took over the conversation, revealing her plan.

“Jiye, I want to create an unprecedented legend in Corolle, so I came to you…”
