Chapter 9: The Little Loli Got Tricked~ and Even Got Dragged to Take a Bath

Go… go in here?”

Sorn’s eyes widened as he looked at the white dragon egg, then at Zhu Xiaxia’s eyes.

He couldn’t understand it.

“I’m saying, evil dragon, are you serious? You want me to run into a dragon egg and that’ll turn me back into a human? Are you joking with me?”

“Of course I know~”

Zhu Xiaxia smiled, reaching out to touch Sorn’s little head, but Sorn immediately dodged away.

“Hey~ evil dragon, I don’t want you touching me!”

“Sigh, I didn’t expect that even my own daughter wouldn’t let her mother touch her. What a pity.”

Zhu Xiaxia crossed her arms and sighed.

After dodging, Sorn immediately pointed at Zhu Xiaxia with a fierce expression.

“You—you—you—you! Who’s your daughter?! You stinking evil dragon, explain yourself clearly right now!”

“Alright, since my daughter is in such a hurry to know, I’ll tell you the truth.”

“This dragon egg was originally a complete dragon egg, but for some reason, I opened it and took out the dragon egg’s core energy. Then, last time, it was accidentally released while it was in your hands, so that core was left inside your body. That’s also why you, a human sword saint, turned into a dragon.”

“Is… is that so?”

Sorn still held some doubts about Zhu Xiaxia’s explanation.

How could something that coincidental and careless happen?

It really felt like this evil dragon had bad intentions, as if she were tricking him like a child.

“But you should also be glad, my daughter,” Zhu Xiaxia continued.

“If it were any other human, their body would’ve already been shattered by the powerful energy inside the dragon egg’s core. But you’re different. You’re a human sword saint, with a much stronger body than ordinary people, and the protection of the holy sword, so…”

Zhu Xiaxia walked up to the little loli.

“That night, you didn’t die from the pain.”

“That night?”

How did Zhu Xiaxia know? But that wasn’t important.

What mattered was that on the night he returned, his heart felt especially painful.

It must’ve been just like the evil dragon said—the powerful energy of the dragon egg’s core.

It seemed the evil dragon wasn’t lying.

“Alright, I’ve said everything I needed to say. Can you understand now, my daughter?”

Sorn nodded. Zhu Xiaxia’s explanation did indeed convince him.

“Then… why did you say that if I go in, I can change back?”

“Going in is, of course, to take the dragon egg’s core out. It’s just that the process takes a bit longer.

You need to stay inside the dragon egg for a whole day.

After it’s done, my daughter, you’ll be able to return to your human appearance.”

“…”
Sorn still felt uneasy and continued asking.

“Since last time you could put it in directly, why don’t you just take it out directly? Wouldn’t that be better and more efficient?”

“Aiyo~”

The smile on Zhu Xiaxia’s face rose higher and higher, as if she were proud of her own brilliant verbal artistry.

“The dragon egg’s core has fused with your body for so many days already. It’s now highly integrated with you. If I were to take it out directly, then I’m afraid, my daughter, you would immediately…”

Zhu Xiaxia brought the five fingers of her right hand together, placed them in front of her neck, and swiped horizontally.

“Ka-cha~”

Sorn understood.

What Zhu Xiaxia meant was that if it were forcibly removed, she would die, so only this gradual method could be used.

“Alright then, evil dragon. I’ll believe you this once.”

Sorn turned around and walked toward the dragon egg, but Zhu Xiaxia grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up.

“Evil dragon, what are you doing?! Don’t stop me from changing back!”

“Don’t rush, good daughter. The preparations aren’t done yet~”

“Preparations? What preparations?”

The little loli was confused.

“Look at you. You’re all dirty, covered in mud, and you’re still wearing clothes.”

“Does that matter?”

“Of course it does~ If mud affects it and the preparations aren’t done properly, the effect of changing back will be affected. If you end up missing an arm or a leg, that’s not something I can interfere with anymore~”

What? Missing arms or legs? That won’t do.

And since things had already reached this point, there was no way back.

Sorn had no choice but to believe her and immediately agreed.

“Then… I’ll go take a bath first?”

Zhu Xiaxia put Sorn down, but Sorn froze in place, her eyes scanning the surroundings without finding the answer she wanted.

“So… where is the place to bathe?”

“Come on~ Mother will take you there.”

“Oh, okay.”

Sorn unconsciously stretched out her hand to let Zhu Xiaxia hold it and lead her out of the room.

Zhu Xiaxia naturally took her to the large bathroom next door.

In the center of the entire bathroom, the bathing area was like a small shallow swimming pool.

The walls and floor curved smoothly into each other.

Hot water in the middle pool steamed gently.

Instead of light blue pool tiles, the floor was paved with large slabs of white marble.

Around the central pool was a circle of ordinary marble flooring, with several racks placed on it for clean clothes.

The ceiling was embedded with large yellow gemstones that emitted warm yellow light under the drive of magic, providing illumination.

From top to bottom, from left to right, the bathroom was extremely spacious and grand.

Wow! So this is the evil dragon’s bathroom? This is way, way, way too luxurious!

“Alright, daughter, let’s start bathing now~”

Sorn had just been dazzled by the luxurious bathroom when she heard the evil dragon’s words and her vision went dark again.

What do you mean “we”?

“Evil dragon, when I’m bathing, please go out. Respect my privacy!”

Sorn’s tone was very polite, but after all, this was her first bath since becoming a little dragon loli.

During the past few days of traveling in the wild, it was impossible to bathe properly, and even if she did, she would quickly get dirty again.

“Oh~ daughter, you probably don’t know how to bathe yet. No need to force yourself, no need to act tough. Mother knows. Mother will teach you~”

As she spoke, Zhu Xiaxia released Sorn’s hand, shut the door with a bang, then used both hands to remove the little loli’s clothes.

In an instant, her fair and tender skin was fully exposed.

!?

!!??

!!!???

“Ahhh w(‘A° )w! You bad dragon! What are you doing?!”

The little loli instantly became flustered, not knowing where to put her hands or what to cover.

In the end, she chose to stand on tiptoe and cover Zhu Xiaxia’s eyes.

“Wuwuwu~ hurry and go out, this is so embarrassing…”

The little loli’s small face immediately turned bright red, and her head seemed to steam like the hot water in the bathroom.

“Aiya, it seems my daughter is very shy~ a shy, cute girl~”

Zhu Xiaxia’s lips were practically curling up to the sky.

Calmly, she moved the little loli’s hands away.

The little loli realized that since she couldn’t cover Zhu Xiaxia’s eyes, she would cover her own eyes instead, pretending Zhu Xiaxia couldn’t see.

“Wuwuwu~ go out, go out!”

“It’s fine, daughter. I’m your mother. Mother and daughter bathing together is the most normal thing.”

As she spoke, Zhu Xiaxia slowly began unbuttoning her nightgown, one button at a time.
