Volume 3 Chapter 221

Volume 3 + Chapter 221: The Relationship Between Dragon And Fox

Xia Yi was pulled into her room by Yue Liu, and the door was even locked.

After that, the little fox picked up a strip of cloth and blindfolded Xia Yi’s eyes, so she couldn’t see anything at all.

“Fox Radish, what are you trying to do?”

“Nothing. I’ve already said it — I cannot allow outsiders to see the illusions of the fox clan,” the little fox explained. “Sworn Enemy, you don’t need to do anything, just stay there and don’t move.”

“Oh.”

Xia Yi nodded, pretending to comply for now.

But in her heart she was still extremely curious. What exactly were these fox clan illusions?

Was it magic?

If it was magic, and she saw it, could she secretly learn it?

“Ah, it’s a little itchy.”

She said this, then raised her hand to scratch her cheek.

This was just a feint. Taking advantage of the poor opportunity, Xia Yi secretly pushed the cloth a bit…

“Sworn Enemy!! You are far too disobedient. I told you not to peek, so why are you still thinking of sneaking a look? If you keep this up, I won’t help you anymore!”

The little fox grew anxious, grabbed Xia Yi’s wrist, and caught her right there on the spot.

After all, the other was a swordswoman — her eyes were sharp, unlike those easy-to-fool mages.

Xia Yi could only stick out her tongue and give up.

After that, she stayed blindfolded, waiting…

“All right, it’s over! You can take off the clothes now.”

“Hm? That’s it already?”

Xia Yi felt this was far too fast.

She thought the little fox would change into shrine maiden robes and perform some kind of mysterious dance for quite a while.

“Let me see how it turned out?”

After Xia Yi removed the cloth, she walked to the full-length mirror in the little fox’s room and spun around a few times on the spot.

Her silver hair was really gone, all turned into black hair!

Truly amazing.

At the same time, she also felt a faint, indistinct energy enveloping her. This… should be an illusion, right?

“With this there’s no problem. Ordinary people cannot possibly see the silver hair,” Yue Liu said. “Anyway, if one wants to perceive the illusions I cast, their realm must be far higher than mine. Such beings don’t exist yet in the human world.”

“It really won’t suddenly be exposed, right?”

“…Shouldn’t?”

“What do you mean, shouldn’t?! Saying it like that is really worrying!”

“As long as you don’t experience some intense battle that shatters my illusion, there’s no problem. For example, if you summon the Holy Sword, the energy wave of the Holy Sword might break through and disperse the illusion,” the little fox explained. “As long as you avoid doing that kind of thing, there’s no issue at all.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Xia Yi nodded.

“Then indeed there’s nothing to worry about.”

She walked back and forth in front of the mirror several times to confirm again. It truly was seamless.

The fox clan’s illusion was really convenient.

“Fox Radish, tell me, how is this illusion unfolded? I really want to know!”

“That’s impossible, I will never tell!”

Yue Liu’s attitude was firm. She directly hugged her teddy bear and turned her head away.

“Illusions are the secret of the fox clan. They cannot possibly be told to outsiders. You are a dragon, I am a fox, understand? The relationship between dragon and fox is that of enemies.”

“Then…”

Xia Yi smiled.

“From now on, I’ll just be considered one of the fox clan!”

“…What?!”

The little fox reacted suddenly, as if she had thought of something. Her face turned red.

“Y-you’re talking nonsense!!”

“It’s exactly as I said.”

Xia Yi blinked her eyes, and even leaned closer to the little fox’s side.

“As long as I’m not an outsider, then telling me wouldn’t matter, right? Just treat me as one of your own, not an enemy anymore~”

Yue Liu stared at Xia Yi, her face getting redder and redder, almost steaming. She pushed open the door and rushed out.

“Detestable Sworn Enemy, to even dare try such a method to confuse me. I’ve already seen through your trick — I won’t fall for it! I won’t be swayed!!”

After shouting this, she ran off, leaving the dormitory.

Xia Yi was left behind, bewildered.

“Was what I just said… very strange?”

…

After going through reconstruction, Laurel Academy had also started classes again.

This morning’s first period was Biden’s magic class.

Xia Yi thought about it, and decided to give Old Forcer Biden some face. So this time she didn’t come late, but arrived early in the classroom.

“Xia Yi, that day, the girl we saw with the Knight Princess — was that really Lady Knight Princess?”

“Her true appearance is really that cute!!”

“Xia Yi, what is Lady Knight Princess’s personality like?”

As soon as classmates saw Xia Yi, they all crowded over, asking noisily.

This left Xia Yi not knowing how to deal with it. These questions were so bothersome. Why did she have to deal with outside groups, and now also the students of Laurel Academy?

Suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, thinking of a method.

“Sorry, no comment.”

Xia Yi raised her palm.

“This is the requirement of the Holy Temple Knights. I have no right to reveal matters concerning Lady Knight Princess. If I speak, whether it’s me or anyone who knows, we could all face imprisonment, locked away in the great prison of the Holy Temple Knights! Do you want to eat prison food?”

“Ah? This…”

Hearing this, the classmates were all disappointed. They sighed and dispersed.

Xia Yi felt herself truly clever, and happily returned to her seat.

When class began, Biden walked into the classroom, glanced at Xia Yi sitting in the corner, his expression somewhat complicated, but he didn’t say much. He began teaching again.

“Students, after experiencing disaster, I am very glad that you have returned to our magic classes. This experience will certainly have a great positive effect on your future lives—”

Biden spoke eloquently on the podium.

Xia Yi took out her notebook, scribbling on it.

“What I should be doing now is…”

She was considering her next move.

Next, she would begin investigating the plans of humanity’s high leadership.

Thinking it over, the strangest point at present…

The False Sword Saint.

Xia Yi wrote down these three characters.

Why did the False Sword Saint possess the power of the dragon clan?

This had to be investigated clearly.

What was his true identity, and how had he obtained the dragon clan’s power?

Because Xia Yi’s actions in the Human King’s Armor had been seen by others, the matter of the False Sword Saint could no longer be concealed. It had spread, creating a massive storm of public opinion in the human world.

The False Sword Saint had also temporarily lost all contact, no longer appearing in public.

If one wanted to investigate the False Sword Saint starting from the Schubert family, that would require Xia Yi to make contact with them.

But she very much disliked that, and the risk was enormous. She ought to avoid them, not go knocking on their door — that would just be self-destruction…

Wait!

Xia Yi suddenly thought of a candidate. Aside from the Schubert family, there was someone with countless entanglements with the False Sword Saint, someone she even knew personally.

She could definitely help!
