Volume 4 Chapter 242
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 242: A Masterful Drama
The captain brought Xia Yi before Xia Lulu.
“Xia Lulu!” Xia Yi called out.
“Xia Yi?”
Hearing her daughter’s voice, Xia Lulu’s body trembled slightly, and the fierce expression on her face vanished.
She looked up and saw the loli silver dragon, identical to herself, leaping down from the dragon’s back and landing in her embrace.
“Wahhh… Xia Lulu, I… I’ve finally… with you…”
Feeling the familiar warmth, glistening tears welled up in Xia Yi’s eyes, and her voice became choked with sobs.
Even though she knew she was one thousand percent pure macho man, how could she cry in front of others?
Yet, she could no longer control her emotions. Upon reuniting with Xia Lulu, all the feelings bottled up inside her heart erupted.
Forget it, she’d cry for a while first!
“Wahhh wahhh! Xia Lulu, I missed you so much!! Wahhh, I thought I’d never see you again!!”
“Xia Yi…”
A genuine smile surfaced on Xia Lulu’s face. She held Xia Yi tightly, her tense heart finally relaxing, though she felt a pang of guilt.
In truth, sending Xia Yi alone to the Holy Crimson Empire to confront the Vampire Divine Ancestor was an inherently difficult task, fraught with immense risk.
Even with extensive preparations and planning, danger and unpredictable consequences were inevitable.
The reason Xia Lulu agreed to let Xia Yi come was because it’s a trial.
Xia Lulu hoped this trial would help Xia Yi grow stronger quickly.
Only by overcoming increasingly severe crises could growth accelerate rapidly.
This way, after Xia Lulu left this world, Xia Yi would be capable of standing on her own and confronting the fate that surely awaited her.
Xia Lulu’s remaining time was not much.
Yet, she also knew such a trial was profoundly unfair to Xia Yi.
As the Silver Dragon Princess, Xia Yi should have remained in the dragon imperial palace, enjoying the royal family’s care, living a worry-free and happy life.
A dragon her age should still be following her parents around daily.
Instead, Xia Yi bore too much responsibility too early, stepping onto the battlefield and even battling terrifyingly powerful enemies.
Her childhood was even shorter than Xia Lulu’s own, so short she barely realized it before having to face this cruel world.
This always filled Xia Lulu with deep guilt. As a mother, she was utterly inadequate, actually placing her own child in peril. Any other parent would never do such a thing.
Therefore, upon learning Xia Yi was in danger, even knowing that leaving the Dragon Kingdom was a risky move that could provoke severe consequences, she still chose to come to the Holy Crimson Empire to rescue her daughter by any means.
“Wahhh, ahhh… wahhh… ahhh…!”
Xia Yi cried until her eyes were swimming with tears. She felt she should have cried enough and tried to wipe them away, but the more she did, the more tears flowed.
The steadfast, unyielding Sword Saint had turned into a little crybaby.
“How wonderful, Your Highness the Princess! You’ve finally returned!”
The captain remarked with heartfelt relief beside them.
The other dragon soldiers witnessing this were also deeply moved.
Everyone was overjoyed for Xia Yi and Xia Lulu.
“Sniff… Why am I still crying… sniff… my dignity… ahh…”
Xia Yi realized others were still watching. If she kept crying like this, the dignified image she had worked so hard to build would crumble.
This was absolutely unacceptable!
Stop crying!
I am the indomitable Sword Saint!
With a heart as calm and clear as a still mirror!
A top-tier heart of serene clarity!!
The little princess tried hard, biting her lip, barely managing to calm her turbulent emotions.
“Xia Lulu, why did you come?” Xia Yi asked, her eyes still red. “Won’t things go wrong if you’re not in the Dragon Kingdom?”
“… I sent Elly back to the dragon imperial palace. Under the cover of Lucia and Serra, she’s temporarily impersonating me. This external operation is also under your name before the Anti-Vampire Alliance. Very few know about this,” Xia Lulu explained.
“I see.”
“Xia Yi, the Vampire Divine Ancestor captured you because she wanted to marry you, correct?”
“Yes, that’s right!!”
Xia Yi nodded repeatedly, getting especially worked up as she spoke.
“That bad woman Elizabeth captured me, wanting me to be her little blood bag for life! To force me to stay in the vampire palace, she even resorted to despicable methods. But with Ella and Little Black’s help, I escaped!”
“Ella and Little Black?” Xia Lulu was somewhat puzzled.
“Little Black is Miu Miu’s familiar, this one here!”
Xia Yi picked up the little black ball following her and showed Xia Lulu the one-eyed, black, fluffy creature.
“As for Ella, she’s the Succubus lady from before. I ran into her unexpectedly this time.”
“I remember now. There is such a person.”
Xia Lulu recalled that at the higher-ranked species banquet, there indeed was a rare demon who tried to do something bad to Xia Yi and was promptly dealt with by her.
She had thought that Succubus was just a minor nuisance, but surprisingly, she was capable enough to help Xia Yi escape from the Vampire Divine Ancestor.
Succubus truly are rather special beings.
Xia Yi lifted her tail. “Oh, right, Xia Lulu, the bad thing that woman did to me was…”
Suddenly, her words cut off.
Xia Lulu’s expression also changed, her brows furrowing as if disturbed by something, clearly annoyed.
From the sky, a blood spear descended, flying toward the two. This was clearly an attack from the vampire side.
“Ice Sword.”
Xia Lulu prepared to casually deflect the blood spear.
However, the ice sword she conjured using chant reduction was actually shattered by the blood spear.
An attack of this level was definitely not from an ordinary vampire.
“Your Majesty!”
The captain wanted to charge forward to help Xia Lulu block the blood spear.
But Xia Lulu shouted, “Don’t come over!!”
She knew the captain couldn’t handle it, so she activated her Silver Dragon Royal bloodline. Her silver eyes glowed faintly.
“Instant · Frost Magic Shield!”
A frost magic shield appeared around Xia Lulu, attempting to negate the blood spear.
But the blood spear pierced through the frost magic shield.
Xia Lulu instantly cast a second layer.
Thus, each time a frost magic shield was shattered, she immediately created another. Finally, she barely managed to stop the blood spear right before her.
Clap, clap, clap.
Abrupt applause sounded from not far away, and a figure appeared.
“A mother-daughter reunion. Truly a touching, masterful drama.”
