Volume 2 + Chapter 74: I’m Not That Easy To Handle
Days passed again.
“Done, done…!!!”
Xia Yi lay sprawled on the desk like a dried corpse, relieved, putting down her pen.
The piles of homework, under her relentless effort, were also completed.
Not easy, too not easy!
She is now in the midst of a holiday, not needing to attend classes every day, casually reading comics, playing with the small animals she raised in the garden, sneaking into the kitchen to steal a bite… In short, do whatever she wants.
In this situation, Xia Yi still chose to redo the homework.
Not for anything, just to win a breath of air!
Hmph, I don’t want to be looked down upon by Xia Lulu, it’s just a bit of homework, I must finish it!
Even if she forbids it, I still insist on finishing the homework!
With such a strong rebellious mentality, the little princess fought a desperate battle with the homework, even facing terrible temptations.
For example—
“Your Highness, are you doing homework again? Take a break, go outside and play for a while, okay?”
From time to time, her personal maid Serra would come over and ask her this.
Even making Xia Yi wonder if it was deliberate.
This kind of maid is too strange!
These temptations, for a time, made Xia Yi very shaken.
But, she is the noble Human Sword Saint!
So, Xia Yi used a calm and collected heart to resist these temptations and finally completed the homework.
“Princess, you actually finished the homework all by yourself.” Serra remarked beside her.
“Is that so strange? Serra.” Xia Yi looked at the maid beside her.
“By common sense, it is indeed strange,” Serra said, “Normally, Your Highness would lose interest after three minutes, feel annoyed halfway through, then throw it aside, not caring about it, never opening it again, until the last day—”
“Serra, how do you see me!!”
Xia Yi couldn’t listen anymore.
“Princess, it’s not my prejudice, it’s just that you’ve always been like this before.” Serra spoke the truth.
“Uh…”
Xia Yi thought about it carefully, it seems… Indeed it is?
“But, that was before, I am Xia Yi · Christie who is getting stronger every moment! I want to say goodbye to the past me completely!”
“Princess, so impressive!”
Serra started clapping.
But to Xia Yi, why does it feel like Serra isn’t sincere, rather it seemed like she was teasing her?
“Princess, don’t forget to water the flowers today.” Serra recalled.
“Oh, right! It’s almost noon, time to sunbathe the seeds!”
Xia Yi got up, went to water the flowerpot, and then placed it on the balcony.
She looked at the flowerpot, falling into doubt.
Why hasn’t it sprouted yet?
Normally, seeds would sprout a few days after being planted, right?
“Serra, why hasn’t the seed changed at all?” Xia Yi asked.
Serra walked over, looked carefully, and was also puzzled.
“Your Highness, this seed seems to have no intention of sprouting.”
“Could it be that this seed takes longer to sprout than other seeds?”
Serra shook her head: “No, Your Highness, I don’t feel any life energy from this seed. If it were a normal seed, even if it hasn’t sprouted, the life energy inside should be very active, but this seed is still asleep.”
“Why is it like this…”
“What seed did you plant?”
“I don’t know, it was given by someone else.”
Xia Yi was also unclear.
The words Miu Miu said to her seemed to be to take good care of it, could it be that it wasn’t about planting the seed and cultivating it, but had another meaning?
But Miu Miu has already returned to the Crimson Empire, no one will answer her doubts.
“Forget it, continue to cultivate for a while and observe, today, there are still things that haven’t been done!”
…
Thump thump thump!
While Xia Lulu was dealing with documents, she heard a knock on the door outside.
Judging by the position of the sound, one could roughly guess the height of the knocker, then according to the rhythm of the knocking, it should be…
The Silver Dragon Queen put down the documents in her hand.
“Cough cough, you’re there, right, Xia Lulu!” Xia Yi asked from outside the door.
“Come in.”
Xia Yi pushed the door open and came in.
As expected, Xia Lulu was still working, and she caught up before she finished processing the documents.
“Is there something? Daughter.”
“Hmph, nothing much, just came to see you~”
Xia Yi smiled proudly.
“Oh, just to see me, are you that free?” Xia Lulu propped her cheek with one hand.
“Yes, yes.”
Xia Yi seemed to be waiting for Xia Lulu’s question, blinking expectantly.
Xia Lulu deliberately asked: “Speaking of which, daughter, I haven’t seen you play recently, always staying in the room, what are you doing, you’re not still reading comics, are you?”
“How could that be? You underestimate me, I’ve been doing this!”
Xia Yi quickly ran out the door, then moved a pile of homework in, placed it in front of Xia Lulu, and patted it.
“The previous homework, I rewrote it all.”
“Did you write it yourself?”
“See for yourself.” Xia Yi made a welcoming gesture.
“Oh ho~”
Xia Lulu took out one of the homework books and carefully flipped through it. From the handwriting, it was indeed Xia Yi’s notes.
Although there was no special request, Xia Yi abandoned the common language and used the obscure and difficult dragon script.
Whether in grammar or vocabulary, it was very excellent, without mistakes.
Of course, these are secondary.
The most important thing is that the accuracy of these homework reached an astonishing level, almost no errors, at most some flaws, mainly possibly due to lack of experience in using magic, not a big deal.
From an objective point of view, there’s only one word to describe it—
Genius!
Although she likes to slack off, Xia Yi’s talent is indeed undeniable.
Xia Lulu’s expression changed.
“Hmph hmph hmph!”
Seeing this, Xia Yi couldn’t help but put her hands on her hips, extremely proud.
That’s right!
Ever since she lost to Xia Lulu in the duel last time and was told she didn’t need to do homework, she has been very unwilling.
How could she be looked down upon by her archenemy?
What a joke!
She absolutely cannot accept it, she must finish the homework, then show Xia Lulu a thing or two.
Then, mock her, slap her face hard!
See if you dare to look down on me?
Yes, that’s Xia Yi’s goal.
The never-surrendering Human Sword Saint!
“How about it, Xia Lulu, this way, you can’t pick out any problems, right?” Xia Yi smiled.
She thought about it, if she was so serious and Xia Lulu still dared to nitpick, then the unreasonable one would not be herself.
“Well…” Xia Lulu paused, “I don’t quite understand, why do you insist on doing homework? I said you don’t have to.”
“For me, doing homework is very simple, you wouldn’t think I’m doing something else in my room every day, right? I just take a little bit out of my entertainment time every day, how I usually play, I still play.”
Xia Yi waved her hand nonchalantly.
“I want to write just to write, consider it… pastime, just a pastime when I’m tired of playing! It has nothing to do with you, don’t overthink it.”
“Daughter, do you actually want my praise?” Xia Lulu seemed to see through Xia Yi’s thoughts.
“Ah? Ha! Such a thing, I don’t need it at all…!”
Xia Yi hurriedly defended.
But after saying this, her tail started wagging behind her.
“Alright, I know, indeed my daughter, really impressive.”
Xia Lulu hugged Xia Yi in her arms, rubbing her head.
“As long as you want to be serious, you can do it, good child.”
“Using that way of speaking, I won’t… be happy! I’m Not That Easy to Handle!”
Although she said this, Xia Yi’s ears turned red, and she didn’t resist, just letting Xia Lulu rub her.
Even, she leaned in a bit more…
Two loli silver dragons, snuggling~
After a while.
Xia Yi took the initiative to pull away, although she was still a bit reluctant, her dignity as the Human Sword Saint had to be maintained, otherwise it would give the other party the wrong impression that she had fallen.
“Alright, holding on for so long, it’s very hot.”
“Is it~”
“Is there a reward… or something.” Xia Yi muttered.
She only said it once, very quietly.
However, Xia Lulu heard it all.
“Daughter, I have something for you.”
“What is it?” Xia Yi started to get interested.
Xia Lulu opened a drawer and took out a book.
Suddenly, Xia Yi was surprised, it was actually a comic book!
Incredibly, Xia Lulu would actually buy manga for her?
“I got it from Lucia, this comic book is a rare limited edition of the latest volume, oh,” Xia Lulu said with a meaningful smile, “This is definitely a comic you’ll like.”
“I have a completely different taste from you, what you like, I probably won’t be interested in.”
Xia Yi took it, glanced at the cover, and her body trembled as if electrified, the comic book falling to the ground.
It’s “Legend of the Sword Saint”!
What, what, what?!
Why would Xia Lulu want to read her embarrassing history in comics?!
“To be honest, this series is quite interesting, daughter, the latest plot is really explosive, the Human Sword Saint actually saves his beautiful and cute fiancée in a moment of crisis, and then in front of everyone’s gaze, passionately…”
Xia Lulu narrowed her eyes.
“Daughter, don’t you think it’s really cool? It fits my image of the Human Sword Saint.”
“No, it’s not!”
Xia Yi started to stammer.
“Anyway, it’s all made up… deceiving, with a lot of special effects… you, you know the truth, in any case, it’s not to be confused with reality… Anyway, the homework is done, I just came to tell you this, nothing else, goodbye!”
Then, the little princess dashed out the door, took a few steps, quickly turned back, picked up the comic book, tucked it into her arms, and ran off again.
Oh no, so embarrassing!
