Volume 3 + Chapter 87: Strange Fox Radish

Xia Yi heard Yue Liu calling out her name.

She thought the little fox radish had noticed her return, so she walked over without thinking much and directly pushed the door open.

In the middle of the night, and she didn’t even bother closing the door properly.

However, when she pushed open the door to Yue Liu’s room and saw what was inside, she was stunned.

That fox radish was doing something extremely bizarre.

“Yue Liu, what are you doing…?!”

“Ah?!”

Yue Liu was also dumbfounded to see Xia Yi suddenly barging in.

At that moment, the pink-haired girl was wearing extremely thin clothing, clinging tightly to her skin. Since she was already drenched in sweat, the enticing pink hue of her body faintly showed through.

On the floor lay a portrait of Xia Yi, already soaked with bodily fluids that had dripped from her.

The fox radish’s face was flushed, frozen in a strange pose. In fact, a second before Xia Yi entered the room, she had even let out a strange breathy moan.

“Th-this…?!”

Xia Yi was frightened, stumbling back several steps.

The fox radish—had she gone mad?

She was doing push-ups in front of Xia Yi’s portrait?!

And not just ordinary push-ups—she was doing weighted training.

She had heavy iron blocks strapped to her back—far beyond what any normal human could endure.

Her clothes were soaked with sweat, dripping down onto the floor.

Clearly, she was seriously working hard.

“Uh… uh… I…”

The fox radish’s cheeks turned even redder. She never imagined her archnemesis would catch her like this.

“You said you weren’t coming back tonight!”

“When did I ever say that?” Xia Yi shot back. “The real question is, why are you doing weird things in secret in the middle of the night?”

“This isn’t anything weird—it’s special training… to defeat you!”

“Hold on, why do you even have a portrait of me?”

Xia Yi suddenly realized something wasn’t right.

“You didn’t get my permission—that’s an unlicensed, illegal act. I’m confiscating this!”

She walked over, snatched the portrait, and examined it closely. Good grief—it even depicted her real silver-haired, silver-eyed dragon appearance. She couldn’t let anyone else see that.

The black-haired loli conjured a flame at her fingertips and burned the portrait.

“No! Stop!!”

The fox radish panicked and tried to get up to snatch the portrait back.

But the position she was in was already awkward. With the heavy weights on her back, she had been holding her breath to stay up—and in her flustered state, she lost control.

Thud!

“Uwahhh!”

The little fox collapsed under the iron block, like a tiny turtle on its back, flailing her limbs—completely stuck.

“Pfft.”

Seeing this, Xia Yi couldn’t help but laugh. This fox radish was way too dumb!

“Curse you, vile nemesis! To laugh at me like this—thirty years east of the river, thirty years west! Don’t you dare look down on a poor youth!!” the little fox shouted as she struggled. “One day, I’ll drag you into an eternal abyss and brand terror into your very soul—forever!!”

“All right, all right, stop it. If you keep shouting, you’ll wake people up and get the dorm manager called over. Then we’ll both be in trouble.”

Xia Yi casually removed the training weights from Yue Liu’s back.

“My portrait… it’s gone… I kept that for so long…”

After being freed, the little fox stared at the ashes of Xia Yi’s portrait, utterly devastated. Her eyes turned red and teary, as if she was about to cry.

This made Xia Yi feel a bit bad. Why did it suddenly feel like she was the one bullying someone?

After thinking for a moment, she pulled out some of the snacks she had bought earlier.

“Want some?”

“Hmph!! Wicked silver dragon! Do you think you can buy me off with these?!” Yue Liu glared at her, teeth clenched. “Don’t think food can win me over!”

“Are you sure you’re not hungry? Training this hard late at night… oh right, since I wasn’t in the dorm tonight, you probably didn’t eat dinner, huh?”

As she spoke, Xia Yi opened the snack bag and started eating right in front of Yue Liu.

“Really not hungry?”

To say she wasn’t tempted would be a lie.

Yue Liu hesitated, torn—but she was definitely hungry…

By the time she came to her senses, she was already hugging the snacks and devouring them, wolfing them down like a starved fox.

She gave in after all.

“By the way, why were you doing that?” Xia Yi asked, puzzled. “Was it really worth sneaking off to train alone?”

“…It’s all your fault!” Yue Liu pointed angrily at Xia Yi. “You! You keep stealing my sword techniques!”

“You can learn mine too, you know. I never stopped you,” Xia Yi replied casually.

“Ugh! Don’t you have any self-awareness?! You’re a dragon, and I’m a fox! I don’t have the ridiculous strength your dragon race does! To steal your sword style, I need to increase my strength, or it won’t be effective at all!”

“Oh, right. I can steal yours, but you can’t steal mine,” Xia Yi said, suddenly understanding. “So your reason for self-improvement is to strengthen yourself enough to copy my sword skills?”

“…” Yue Liu bit her lip and lowered her head. She had no argument.

That was the truth.

She hadn’t wanted Xia Yi to find out she was secretly training.

The plan was, during their next duel, she’d suddenly whip out Xia Yi’s own sword technique, catch her completely off guard, and then land a flurry of blows to humiliate her and reclaim her pride.

More than anything—using someone’s own sword style to defeat them was the most satisfying victory.

During the day, she couldn’t train like this in front of others. After all, this kind of training was way too intense for normal humans.

So she could only do it in secret at night.

She’d been doing it for a while now—yet tonight, of all nights, she got caught.

“Aiya, Fox Radish, if you wanted to learn so badly, you should’ve just asked. I can teach you, you know?”

Xia Yi took the opportunity to sit on Yue Liu’s bed and crossed her legs.

“Come on, let’s start. Keep training—I’ll guide you.”

“Uwaaahh! Curse you, foul nemesis! Don’t get so full of yourself!! One day I’ll pin you down—pin you down!!”

The little fox exploded, stomping furiously, yanked Xia Yi up, and forcefully shoved her out the door—then slammed it shut with a loud bang.

…

“Ahhh~”

Xia Yi yawned and crawled into bed.

She had run around all day and was completely exhausted. Her head hadn’t even touched the pillow for a few seconds before she drifted into sleep and entered the world of dreams.

Maybe she really did miss the Dragon Palace.

She dreamed she had returned to the Dragon Palace.

“I’m back!!”

Xia Yi stood in the heart of the palace, shouting joyfully.

But the palace was uncharacteristically cold and empty—not a soul in sight.

“Serra?”

Normally, her personal maid would’ve rushed over to her immediately.

But why…

Was Serra nowhere to be found?

Xia Yi grew anxious and began running through the palace, calling out as she went.

“Lucia?”

“Elly?”
