Is It Funny That The Dragon Slayer Failed And Became The Dragon Princess? - Volume 3 Chapter 12

12. So It Was You, Kid!

When the boy playing the Sword Saint said this, everyone’s expressions changed.

“Could it be that Sister is actually a silver dragon!”

Xia Yi was startled in her heart.

This child’s intuition was so accurate?

He actually guessed that she was a silver dragon.

“Hahaha!”

The children burst into laughter upon hearing this.

“What nonsense are you talking about? How could Sister be a silver dragon?” the little girl refuted. “If Sister was a silver dragon, then her hair would definitely be silver, even her eyes would be silver, and she would even have a big tail!”

Xia Yi was at a loss for words upon hearing the little girl’s description.

How did these kids guess so accurately?!

“But Sister’s hair isn’t silver. She’s just wearing a silver wig, and Sister’s eyes are black, with no tail. It’s impossible for her to be a silver dragon!”

The child innocently looked at Xia Yi.

“Sister, am I right? You’re not a silver dragon, right?”

Xia Yi actually had to lie to such innocent children, feeling a bit… guilty.

Sorry.

I really am a silver dragon now…

“I’m not.”

“Of course! If Sister was a silver dragon, she would transform into a dragon, turn into a huge evil dragon, and eat all of us!”

“Why would a dragon play with us?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Hurry up and apologize to Sister!”

Hearing the other children’s words, the boy playing the Sword Saint felt a bit embarrassed.

“Sorry, Sister. I was just joking earlier. I suddenly thought of it and wanted to make everyone laugh.”

“It’s okay.” Xia Yi indicated that she didn’t mind.

“Miss Xia Yi, so you were here?”

Xia Yi heard Martha’s voice.

She turned her head and saw Martha standing at the door of the room, looking at the situation inside with some surprise.

“Teacher Martha!!”

The children were very happy to see Martha and surrounded her.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yi felt a bit nostalgic.

Indeed, just like before, the gentle Teacher Martha was still popular with everyone.

“Miss Xia Yi, were you just playing with the children?”

“Mm,” Xia Yi replied. “They were acting out a play and happened to be short one person. They found me, so I came to help.”

“I see.”

Martha was still surprised. This young lady from the Lawrence family, who had quite a noble aura, was actually so approachable, able to get along with the children of the Spring Breeze Orphanage without any reservations.

It seemed she was different from ordinary nobles.

“They… even invited me to join their daily play performances…” Xia Yi said somewhat awkwardly.

Actually, upon careful thought, playing with these children was no big deal. The children wouldn’t mind anything.

If she were to perform in front of other adults like before, it would be quite embarrassing.

“Miss Xia Yi, you don’t actually have to agree. There’s no need to indulge these children.” Martha said.

“Is that so?”

Xia Yi felt there was an opportunity to back out.

She didn’t want to experience social death in front of others.

“Ah? No, we want to play with Sister!”

The children were very disappointed.

That little girl was quite smart. She ran to Xia Yi’s side again and asked, “Is Sister’s name Xia Yi?”

“Yes.”

“Sister Xia Yi!”

To be honest, this experience was quite novel for Xia Yi.

Because she was a young dragon, all the dragons she had met were older than her.

Even Elly, who was much younger than other dragons, was over a hundred years old.

Being called “Sister Xia Yi” was indeed a first, giving her a strange feeling.

Xia Yi felt like she was floating.

This feeling… Why is it so great?

No, no!

I’m the Human Sword Saint, a battle-hardened manly man at heart!

How could I fall just because someone called me “Sister Xia Yi” a few times, just, just like this…

“Sister Xia Yi!” “Sister Xia Yi!”

The children followed suit, surrounding her again and launching their offensive.

“Sister Xia Yi, perform the play with us tomorrow!”

“Sister Xia Yi, help us. You’re the most suitable to play the Silver Dragon Queen!” “Sister Xia Yi, we can’t do without you!”

Amidst the repeated calls of “Sister Xia Yi”, Xia Yi seemed to gradually lose herself.

Her defenses were breached by the children.

“I… will play the Silver Dragon Queen.” Xia Yi could only admit defeat.

The children cheered.

“Miss Xia Yi…” Martha wanted to say something but stopped.

“It’s okay. As long as the children are happy, I’m not actually that busy. I can go back to the family tomorrow.”

“I understand.”

Martha nodded. After thinking for a moment, she still mustered up the courage.

“Miss Xia Yi, if you don’t mind, you can stay here and let us at the Spring Breeze Orphanage host you as a token of our appreciation.”

“Really?”

Xia Yi was a bit delighted.

Because if she stayed overnight, it meant that she could have dinner at the Spring Breeze Orphanage tonight and might even taste Martha’s cooking.

Maybe she could even…

“Sister Martha, do you know how to make osmanthus cakes?” Xia Yi asked, trying to contain her excitement.

“Osmanthus cakes?” Martha blinked in surprise. “Of course I can. Miss Xia Yi, do you want to eat osmanthus cakes?”

“I’m a bit interested because I heard that the osmanthus here is very famous…”

“Of course. If Miss Xia Yi is interested, I can make them for you.”

Yay, there will be osmanthus cakes!!

Xia Yi could no longer hide the happiness on her face. If there weren’t other people around, she would have jumped up.

Returning to the Spring Breeze Orphanage, and even taste the osmanthus cakes made by Teacher Martha.

This was something she had never dreamed of.

Seeing Xia Yi’s expression, Martha narrowed her eyes, deep in thought…

“Haha! Kids,”

A hearty voice came from the corridor, and a cheerful man appeared with many comics.

“Uncle is back!”

“Wow!! It’s Uncle George!”

The children were very excited.

“George, you’re back?”

“Yeah, Teacher Martha. I’m back to see everyone at the orphanage.” George smiled.

Eh?

Xia Yi froze in place.

She knew George. He was her childhood playmate!

Back then, when George was bullied by thugs outside, it was Wright who stood up and used his self-taught swordsmanship to teach the thugs a lesson.

Xia Yi never expected to be reunited with her childhood playmate.

“Hmm, who is this?” George curiously looked at Xia Yi.

“She is Miss Xia Yi, who has provided a lot of help to our Spring Breeze Orphanage.” Martha didn’t directly mention it in front of the children.

George quickly understood and took the initiative to greet her. “Hello, Miss Xia Yi. I’m George.”

“Hello…”

Xia Yi was emotionally complex.

The other party could no longer recognize her.

Well, of course, who could recognize her after she had transformed from a 5’5” tall man into a loli?

She saw George giving the children comic books, all of which were “Legend of the Sword Saint”. The strange thing was that they were all limited editions signed by the author?

“Why are all these comics author-signed limited editions?” Xia Yi asked curiously.

George smiled, quite proud of himself.

The children beside him took the initiative to explain for him.

“Sister Xia Yi, don’t you know? Uncle George is the author of ‘Legend of the Sword Saint’!”

Upon hearing those words, Xia Yi couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“So it was you, kid!”
