Volume 3 + Chapter 112: The Best Dance
After returning to the dormitory, Yue Liu looked visibly sulky.
At first, Xia Yi didn’t quite understand why the other girl was acting this way.
Later, she guessed it might be because she hadn’t accepted the dance invitation at the freshman social.
Judging by the little fox’s reaction, that was indeed the case.
Well, wasn’t that easy to fix?
If the missing dance was the problem, then she just had to make up for it, right?
So, Xia Yi took the initiative and extended an invitation to Yue Liu.
“This is…?”
Yue Liu was stunned at first, staring blankly at Xia Yi.
Seeing the little fox silent, Xia Yi was a little puzzled, but then it seemed she understood.
If she was going to invite her, she had to do it properly.
Right now, Yue Liu wasn’t using the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan’s illusion magic to hide her true form, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to invite her while still in her human appearance.
So, Xia Yi quietly activated her Silver Dragon King Clan’s bloodline, overriding the effects of the transformation potion.
Her originally black hair turned into a rare silver, her human black pupils became the silver vertical pupils of a dragon, and a big tail emerged from behind her.
The black-haired human loli was gone, replaced by a silver-haired dragon loli.
“This should be better, right?” Xia Yi asked.
“Mmm…!”
Yue Liu’s face instantly turned red, and she lowered her head.
Her previously almost bristling pink ears now softened and drooped.
The Xia Yi before her now was the genuine Silver Dragon Princess she remembered—sweet like vanilla ice cream.
“My rival, did you have to go… this far?” Yue Liu asked.
“Of course, it was necessary,” Xia Yi replied seriously.
Because the other girl was the princess of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. If she extended an invitation, then, considering their respective statuses, the Silver Dragon Princess of the Dragon Kingdom naturally had to respond—it was a matter of social etiquette.
It wasn’t like she couldn’t dance.
Hadn’t she learned dancing in the etiquette classes at the Dragon Royal Palace precisely so she could respond to social occasions?
Wasn’t this just the natural thing to do?
“So, will you accept?”
The little princess extended her hand again.
Yue Liu seemed flustered, but a smile still appeared on her face as she placed her hand in Xia Yi’s.
“Fine, my rival, since you’ve invited me…!”
Their hands clasped together.
Xia Yi held Yue Liu and began to dance.
“This is quite surprising, my rival. I thought your dancing would be terrible, but this is unexpectedly… good,” Yue Liu said.
“I practiced really hard.”
“I wouldn’t have guessed someone like you would study seriously…”
“Ahaha.”
Xia Yi thought back to how Vanessa had mercilessly drilled her in etiquette class and felt a little awkward. It wasn’t that she had studied diligently—she had been forced to master the royal etiquette.
She wasn’t excellent by choice; she was excellent by force.
“This… is actually quite nice.”
Contrary to her usual habit of bickering or opposing Xia Yi, Yue Liu was genuinely cooperating this time.
She was thoroughly enjoying it.
For some reason, while dancing with Xia Yi, she felt inexplicably happy, light as if she were floating to the sky.
At such close proximity, she could even catch the faint scent of her rival’s body…
The little fox’s heartbeat gradually quickened, her cheeks burning the entire time.
Dragon and fox danced together in a space that belonged only to them.
Seeing Yue Liu so cooperative, Xia Yi was a little surprised. She had expected the other girl to cause trouble or mock her.
But that didn’t happen.
In that case, she had to return the courtesy—by responding with the best dance skills she had learned!
She focused, her thoughts returning to that afternoon in the Dragon Royal Palace when she and Vanessa had explored the secrets of dance—
Xia Yi became more and more immersed, even losing herself in the moment, as if she had grasped a whole new level of mastery!
Yue Liu, watch carefully—this is my best dance!
“Waaahhh!!”
Yue Liu screamed in terror as she felt her body thrown off balance. Against the unreasonable strength of a dragon, the fox girl had no chance to resist. She was flung away and slammed into the wall.
BAM!!
“…Uh.”
Xia Yi’s expression froze.
She had forgotten—after reverting to her dragon form, her strength had also returned to its original level.
Though unintentional, she had ended up hurting the little fox.
“Waaahhh!! You horrible, evil rival! You’re the worst Silver Dragon, tricking me like this! And I actually took you seriously!!”
The little fox was utterly devastated.
…
The Next Day.
Though there had been some unexpected incidents at the freshman social the night before, as long as no major issues arose, the academy’s daily routine continued as usual.
Early in the morning, after washing up, Xia Yi left the dormitory.
After encountering the witch yesterday, she felt it was necessary to report it and warn the Laurel Institute to take the matter seriously.
Xia Yi went straight to Hill’s office.
But after knocking for a long time, there was no response.
Finally, a passing teacher noticed and approached. “Student Xia Yi, are you looking for Teacher Hill?”
“Yes.”
“Teacher Hill has taken leave. She said she wasn’t feeling well and needed to rest.”
“Huh??”
Xia Yi was shocked.
Hill… wasn’t feeling well?
But wasn’t she perfectly fine yesterday when they met?
Though puzzled, there was nothing she could do now. With Hill absent, she had to find someone else.
She went to the principal’s office, but as usual, the principal was nowhere to be found.
Ugh…
Xia Yi felt a headache coming on.
Did this mean she had no choice but to go to that old bastard?
Sigh.
No other options.
With a resigned sigh, she went to find Biden.
This time, surprisingly, Biden wasn’t dozing off—he was in his office, working on lesson plans.
When he saw Xia Yi, his expression instantly darkened, as if he couldn’t hide his displeasure.
Well, Xia Yi thought about it—given everything that had happened between them recently, their relationship was full of tension. If not for the leverage she held over him, they would’ve already broken ties completely.
“Do you need something, Student Xia Yi? If not, return to the magic department classroom and wait for class,” Biden said impatiently.
“Teacher Biden, I have something important to discuss. It’s about what happened at the freshman social last night—how Anthony suddenly turned into a mutated monster—”
Just as Xia Yi was about to explain, Biden waved his hand, cutting her off with a confident remark.

Sweet moment between Xia Yi and Yue Liu! Too bad it ended with our dragon being too stronk
