The law of victory has already been established?
Listening to her inner demon speak with such confidence, Xia Yi felt deeply skeptical.
“Really~?”
“Of course it’s real! Xia Yi, just watch my moves, I’ll absolutely annihilate Xia Lulu! Just wait and see her kneel before us in utter humiliation,” Inner Demon Xia Yi said. “This is the battle where we wash away all our disgrace!”
“Mm… alright.”
Xia Yi found herself somewhat tempted by those words.
Just the idea of utterly crushing Xia Lulu was incredibly alluring.
She had tried countless times before, only to fail again and again, each defeat coming for a different reason.
Perhaps this time, by joining forces with her inner demon, they might really create a miracle.
“Then I’ll hand over control of my body to you. After that, I’ll just wait for your good news!”
“Relax completely, leave everything to me!”
Inner Demon Xia Yi patted her own chest proudly.
Then, Xia Yi closed her eyes and relinquished control of her body to her inner demon.
The silver-haired little girl slowly opened her eyes, and a sharp glint appeared in her gaze.
“Hehehe… the strongest demon, setting out!”
……
……
“Your Highness, breakfast is ready. It includes the soup dumplings you specifically requested.”
Serra returned to Xia Yi’s room to report.
“Breakfast? I’m not eating. I have far more important matters to deal with!” Inner Demon Xia Yi replied.
“More important matters?”
Serra looked puzzled.
“Your Highness, you’re still growing. If you skip breakfast, you might not grow any taller, you know.”
“Uh…”
Inner Demon Xia Yi hesitated for a moment.
Fine, she’d eat a little. If Xia Yi ended up not growing taller, that would be troublesome. After all, she planned to seize this body in the future, being at a disadvantage in battle due to body size would be a massive loss.
Besides, you need energy to deal with Xia Lulu.
“Alright then, I’ll eat a bit. Take me there.” Inner Demon Xia Yi agreed.
“Yes, Your Highness.” Serra nodded.
……
“So this is what she usually eats?”
In the dragon royal dining hall, Inner Demon Xia Yi ate breakfast and couldn’t help but sigh emotionally.
Especially these soup dumplings, so delicious. Thin skin, generous filling, one bite and hot, flavorful broth exploded across her tongue. It was pure indulgence.
“So this is how she slowly fell under the sugar-coated bombardment of dragon royalty…”
“Mm…?”
Serra frowned slightly.
She had felt something off since earlier. Today’s little princess seemed different from usual, her demeanor, her way of speaking.
She kept muttering strange things to herself.
Most unsettling of all were her manners. She was barely using the elegant table etiquette expected of dragon royalty.
If one had to describe it, it was as if she were an entirely different person, completely opposite from the Xia Yi who had just woken up.
“What is it? You’ve been staring at me for a while now,” Inner Demon Xia Yi asked, lifting her head.
“Your Highness, I was just wondering whether this is enough to fill you. If it isn’t, I can prepare more for you.”
“No need. This is enough.”
Inner Demon Xia Yi cut her off.
“Eating too much would affect the upcoming battle.”
“…Battle?”
Serra heard yet another strange word.
She wanted to ask directly, but remembering Xia Lulu’s instructions, she refrained.
It was about time.
“Your Highness, please excuse me for a moment. There are some matters in the kitchen that require my attention…”
Serra prepared to leave.
At that moment, Inner Demon Xia Yi called out to her.
“Wait!”
“Is there anything else you require, Your Highness?”
“Your name is… Serra, right?”
“Of course. I am your personal attendant, Serra Cavendish, from the Royal Maid Corps.”
“Very good, Serra. I’ve made a decision!”
Inner Demon Xia Yi stood up, a cheerful smile spreading across her face.
“When I eventually transform into a demon and begin the serious destruction of this world, I’ll make a special exception and spare your life, because your soup dumplings are delicious and perfectly to my taste. Letting you die would be far too great a loss.”
“To receive such high praise from Your Highness over a single breakfast, it truly is an honor,”
Serra replied calmly, displaying impeccable maidly professionalism, offering no complaints about the oddly phrased declaration and responding sincerely instead.
After that, she left the dining hall.
Some time later,
“Excellent. I’m full of energy now. Time to deal with Xia Lulu!”
……
……
Inner Demon Xia Yi first returned to her room and secretly took the Sky-Blue Wood with her.
According to her plan, she had already found an excuse to carry the Sky-Blue Wood out of the dragon royal palace, hid it outside, set up a trap, and then rushed back at top speed to the palace, arriving before Xia Lulu’s office.
“Finally, I’m going to face that hateful woman!”
Standing before Xia Lulu’s office, Inner Demon Xia Yi steeled herself, pushed open the door, and charged in.
Xia Lulu was processing documents, working as usual.
“Daughter? You’ve come to see me so early, do you need something?” Xia Lulu asked, lifting her head.
“Hehe…”
Inner Demon Xia Yi smiled without answering.
What she did next was very simple,
Provoke Xia Lulu and lure her straight into the trap!
“Xia Lulu, isn’t it my vacation right now?”
“Yes, it is. I approved it,” Xia Lulu replied.
“Do you know what I’ve been doing lately?”
Inner Demon Xia Yi began her peak-level performance.
“Recently, I’ve been lying in bed in my room, binge-drinking happy junk beverages and stuffing myself with potato chips. I even let crumbs fall all over the bed, and I didn’t care at all~”
“?”
Xia Lulu’s expression changed.
“And not just that, Xia Lulu. I completely ignore a proper daily schedule now. I only go to sleep late at night!”
“I read manga and novels nonstop and don’t study at all! When it gets late, I secretly sneak into the kitchen to steal food! I overeat wildly, with absolutely no self-control!”
“And that’s not even the worst of it. I even stayed out all night! I sneak out in the middle of the night and wander around the royal city’s snack streets!”
“As for cultivation? That’s completely out of the question. I won’t do it at all. I’ll just keep playing, playing until I’m satisfied!”
After such an onslaught, if someone’s blood pressure didn’t explode, that would be impossible.
“…I gave you a vacation without additional burdens so you could rest properly and recover from battle fatigue,”
Xia Lulu stood up, a gentle smile appearing on her face.
“Well then… is this how you chose to use your vacation?”
“Daughter, it seems you’re lacking a bit of discipline.”
