“Waaa — don’t look at me!”
Zhu Qiu quickly grabbed the clothes on the bed.
Instead of covering herself, she used them to hide her eyes.
Zhu Xiaxia smirked unkindly at the little girl’s silly behavior.
“My daughter is still so adorable. However, clothes aren’t meant for covering your face; they’re meant to be worn.”
As she spoke, Zhu Xiaxia deliberately snatched the clothes away, wanting to see more of Zhu Qiu’s shy expressions.
“Ugh — “
Helpless, Zhu Qiu could only quickly cover her face with both hands.
‘Hateful Mother.’
This was no fun.
Every time Zhu Xiaxia wanted to see Zhu Qiu’s reaction, the girl would shrink away like a sensitive plant, covering herself as soon as she was teased.
Perhaps…
Looking at the clothes Xiaguang had brought, a sudden spark of inspiration hit Zhu Xiaxia, and a better idea formed in her mind.
She stepped off the bed and turned back to say one thing to Zhu Qiu.
“Good girl, I know you’re shy about being undressed. So, Mother has decided to leave the room for a moment to let you change. Remember to be quick — Mother is really looking forward to seeing her daughter in new clothes!”
After finishing her sentence, Zhu Xiaxia left the room and closed the door.?
‘Is the Evil Dragon really gone?’
‘She’s definitely lying; this Evil Dragon is full of tricks.’
Zhu Qiu peeked through a one-finger-width gap between her hands, looking around.
‘She’s gone?’
She really had left.
That was great. She had to get dressed immediately.
She couldn’t let that Evil Dragon see her looking so embarrassed ever again; it was truly humiliating.
As Zhu Qiu lowered her hands and looked at the clothes laid out on the bed, she fell silent.
There was a white sundress with a slight transparency, a ring of lace at the hem, and various cartoon animals decorating the fabric.
There was also a pair of small white stockings, a yellow kindergarten hat, and a guardian of a little master’s privacy.
That was it — only four items.
Zhu Qiu picked up the sundress and spread it across the bed. If she pressed down even slightly, she could see the bedsheets through the fabric.
Zhu Qiu was speechless.
Then there were the other three.
The stockings, the hat, and the underwear.
Other than the hat, which Zhu Qiu considered normal, how could those other things possibly be put on her body?
She was fed up. Zhu Xiaxia was truly something else, unable to even find a set of normal clothes for her.
“Daughter, are you dressed yet? Mother is coming in!”
Zhu Xiaxia’s feminine voice drifted in from outside the door.
‘No, are these even clothes a person can wear? Wearing them is basically the same as wearing nothing!’
“Why isn’t my daughter saying anything? Have you already changed and prepared to give Mother a brand-new hug?”
Zhu Xiaxia added.
‘What?!’
‘No, no, no. The Evil Dragon must be trying to use confusing words. I can’t let her control me; I must resist.’?
“Mother…”
“What is it, daughter?”
‘I meant to call her “Evil Dragon”! Why did I say that instead?’
This time, Zhu Qiu reacted quickly.
‘The Evil Dragon must be doing this on purpose. She’s definitely still secretly using Magic, just wanting to see me make a fool of myself.’
Humph!
‘Then I’ll just change how I address her.’
The little girl had finally learned her lesson.
“Zhu Xiaxia, I want to wear something else. I don’t like these.”
“Oh? If my daughter doesn’t like them, that’s quite a pity. However, there aren’t any other clothes in Soderland’s House for now. You’ll just have to deal with it for the time being.”
‘There are no other clothes?’
Zhu Qiu’s eyes widened in shock.
In such a massive Dragon Race Imperial Palace, there wasn’t even a single set of normal clothes for her to wear?
Just how stingy was Zhu Xiaxia?
But on second thought, how was that possible?
She remembered the first time she had arrived at the palace gates.
The gems embedded there were massive and numerous, glittering with golden light.
It was impossible for her to have no money.
Zhu Xiaxia was definitely doing this on purpose.
She had money but deliberately prepared such abnormal clothes just to trick her into wearing them.
‘Humph! Evil Dragon, I’ve seen through your scheme. I won’t fall for it.’!
“Is my daughter still not dressed? Do you not know how? Should Mother come in and help you? I can teach you while I’m at it — “
Despite all her calculations, she hadn’t expected Zhu Xiaxia to use this move.
As soon as those words were spoken, Zhu Qiu instantly understood what kind of scheme was hidden up her sleeve.
To trick her into putting the clothes on, Zhu Xiaxia had purposefully walked out and then kept asking questions to check her progress.
Seeing that she still hadn’t dressed, she started using the “forced help” method under the guise of concern.
If she didn’t put them on, the woman would come in and force her.
That definitely wouldn’t work.
If Zhu Xiaxia came in, she would be seen completely and still be forced into those shameful clothes.
Although any normal person would put on clothes rather than stay exposed for a long time, Zhu Qiu’s problem was the clothes themselves.
First, staying exposed was definitely out of the question.
But… regarding these clothes…
Zhu Qiu glanced at the items on the bed and quickly snapped her head away.
‘Humph!’
‘I am a Human Sword Saint. How can I wear a girl’s clothes, and a little girl’s at that?’
Even if she had turned into a Dragon Race little lolita, she wouldn’t allow her soul to be tortured like this!
‘A real man cannot wear soft, frilly little girl clothes!’
However, if she didn’t wear them, she would remain exposed and be forced into them by Zhu Xiaxia anyway, losing either way.
The problem seemed to have no solution.
Wearing them was humiliating, but not wearing them was also humiliating.
‘How hateful!’
Everything was within Zhu Xiaxia’s grasp.
While the little girl was still calculating what to do, the door opened.
Zhu Xiaxia walked quickly toward Zhu Qiu.
‘Wait, why did you come in! I didn’t say I wasn’t going to change!’
But it was too late.
Seeing Zhu Qiu’s lack of movement, Zhu Xiaxia shook her head.
“Just as I thought. My daughter doesn’t know how to dress herself. It’s fine, Mother can teach you.”
She sat on the bed, holding the sundress Zhu Qiu had set down, and held it up against the girl.
“Come, put your head through.”!
“No! I don’t want to wear clothes like this!”
Since Zhu Xiaxia had already entered, Zhu Qiu could only make one last struggle.
But Zhu Xiaxia wasn’t going to agree.
“That won’t do — there are no other clothes. It’s not good to be bare like this.”
Having said enough, Zhu Xiaxia moved directly, lifting Zhu Qiu by her little belly.
However, the naughty Zhu Qiu fought back with everything she had, squirming frantically and trying to burrow back into the blankets to keep Zhu Xiaxia from succeeding.
Zhu Xiaxia tried several times, but Zhu Qiu was like a dying man in his final struggle, wiggling and twisting with all her might.
Zhu Xiaxia was starting to get a bit unhappy.
‘Fine, since you’re being so disobedient, don’t blame Mother for using a little force.’
“Let me hide in the blankets! If I hide in the blankets, no one will see me!”
“That won’t work. A child who doesn’t wear clothes is a bad girl.”
With a single simple move, Zhu Xiaxia easily subdued the disobedient little lolita.
“Ugh — “
“There, be a good girl. Mother will help you.”
“Mmm…”
Zhu Xiaxia quickly helped Zhu Qiu into the clothes and then released the dragon tail she had used to coil around Zhu Qiu’s own tail.
“Waaa!”
Realizing she could move again, Zhu Qiu was about to strip off the shameful outfit when Zhu Xiaxia pulled her into a tight hug.
“What are you doing! Mph…”
