Because Zhu Qiu was sleeping, the originally drawn-out and very interesting journey became dull and boring.
Zhu Xiaxia didn’t like that either, so she simply sped up and soon arrived at the school gate.
She transformed into human form, holding the sleeping Zhu Qiu in her arms.
“My precious daughter, look, we’re here.”
Zhu Xiaxia was located in the second largest city district of the Dragon Clan.
She pointed at the large signboard written in Dragon script above the school gate.
“First Academy of the Dragon Clan.”
She didn’t expect that after a few years, the school had changed its name to an academy.
But that didn’t matter; the essence was still the same.
Today wasn’t the official start of school, so Zhu Xiaxia decided to buy a house near the academy for Zhu Qiu to live in during her studies.
After searching for an hour, she finally found a house she was satisfied with.
After paying, she first placed Zhu Qiu on the bare wooden bed without a mattress in the room, then turned around and went out to buy furniture, planning to decorate the room to look like their home.
Although it was for studying, the living environment couldn’t be neglected.
During her absence, Zhu Qiu woke up groggily.
She sat up on the wooden bed and looked around at the unfamiliar environment, feeling a bit confused.
‘Mm, I feel like I’ve slept for a very long time, and my head is still a bit dizzy. Where am I?’
Zhu Qiu scratched her head and then remembered that she was supposed to go to school today.
But…
She climbed down from the bed, walked to the window, and looked outside through the glass.
People came and went, traffic was heavy, and the streets were full of dragons walking around.
‘Have I been kidnapped?’
The first thought that popped into Zhu Qiu’s head was this.
Just as she was about to go out and see what was going on, she ran into Zhu Xiaxia dragging large and small bags back.
“My precious daughter, you’re awake! Come help Mother decorate the room.”
“Oh, okay.”
Zhu Qiu agreed without a second thought.
With the mother-daughter cooperation, the appearance of the room quickly changed.
But because the room in the school district house wasn’t that big, after decoration it was still a bit smaller than Zhu Qiu’s original room, but it was close enough.
“Mother, where is this?”
After finishing, Zhu Qiu voiced her question.
“This is the school district house your mother prepared for you. I knew you definitely wouldn’t be used to dormitories, so I specially bought one and decorated it for you. How is it? Do you like it?”
Zhu Xiaxia’s face was full of anticipation, waiting for Zhu Qiu’s praise.
“It’s okay.”
“Can’t you say you like it?”
Zhu Qiu noticed the subtle expression on Zhu Xiaxia’s face and immediately understood.
She jumped up and pounced on Zhu Xiaxia, shouting two words, “I like it!”
“As long as you like it. As long as you like it.”
Zhu Xiaxia gently stroked Zhu Qiu’s little head.
“Since everything is ready, Mother still has work to do, so I’ll head back first. If you have any problems, just talk to me. Mother will definitely help you.”
“Leaving so soon?” Zhu Qiu was a bit reluctant.
After all, they had only lived together for nineteen days, and now they would be separated again so soon.
This emotional disconnect was inevitable.
“Yes, Mother believes you can definitely become the strongest magician of the Dragon Clan. In the future, Mother’s throne will be inherited by you.”
“I don’t want to become some magician. I’m the Sword Saint. I want to make my swordsmanship stronger!”
“Alright, alright. Mother knows everything. I’m off now. Remember, don’t reveal your Holy Sword in front of the other dragons. It’s very dangerous.”
After saying her last warning, Zhu Xiaxia quietly hid a delicate box at the very back of the wardrobe.
Without lingering any longer, she turned and left the room.
Well, she was alone again.
Last time she went to the Human Race, at least she had her father for company.
Now there was nothing.
She would have to spend the next few months all by herself.
How lonely.
But at least the room looked familiar, right?
Zhu Qiu consoled herself.
She simply lay down on the bed and, without realizing it, started letting her mind wander.
‘Why does one plus one equal two?’
‘Why do the dragons live in the sky?’
‘Why is the food Zhu Xiaxia cooks so bad?’
‘Hmm, these are three questions worth pondering deeply.’
As the sun gradually set, the more Zhu Qiu thought, the more boring it became, and in the end, she started to feel hungry.
Grumble, grumble~
She rubbed her stomach and then remembered that she hadn’t eaten yet.
Maybe… go downstairs and buy something?
But this was a new place, and she didn’t know if the food here was good.
Zhu Qiu didn’t care anymore. Eating was the most important thing.
After eating, she could lie in bed and sleep.
What a wonderful thing~
Just as she put on her shoes and was about to go out, she suddenly remembered something.
If she went out, she would definitely be recognized as Zhu Xiaxia’s daughter, and then everyone’s attention would be on her.
Just thinking about all eyes turning to her the moment she stepped out made Zhu Qiu nervous.
Although, when out and about, her identity was given by Zhu Xiaxia, it was still better to keep a low profile.
She didn’t like being the center of attention.
In the end, our resilient Zhu Qiu decided not to go out.
She would wait until the official start of school the next day and have breakfast in the cafeteria. Okay, that’s settled.
For the rest of the time, of course she would sleep.
That way, she would not only conserve energy but also not feel so hungry.
By this time, it was already dark.
In the second largest city district, a small figure was wandering near the gate of the First Academy of the Dragon Clan.
“I can’t believe it. This so-called First Academy of the Dragon Clan doesn’t even allow early arrivals. The gate isn’t even open. Where am I supposed to stay tonight!”
The little one sat dejectedly on the steps outside the main gate.
Because it was too late, there was no one on the street.
She couldn’t even rent a room for a night.
“Boo hoo~ Am I going to have to sleep on the street for a night? No way!”
As an exchange student, having to spend the night on the street was just too sad.
“No, I have to think of something.”
The little one perked up.
She decided to boldly go to a nearby house and find a kind-hearted person to let her stay for the night.
She found the nearest house.
Light was still shining through the window, so it seemed the owner hadn’t fallen asleep yet.
“I’ve heard dragons are very magnanimous. As an exchange student, I’d just sleep on the floor. I shouldn’t be rejected, right?”
After preparing herself at the door, she finally knocked with a nervous heart.
“Hel-hel-lo? Is anyone home?”
After speaking, she waited anxiously for a response from inside the house.
But after a minute, no one answered.
Had they fallen asleep?
The little one knocked again, even more gently, but still got no response.
Well, it really was empty.
She’d better not disturb them.
Maybe they just forgot to turn off the light before sleeping.
She’d better try another house.
Just as the little one turned to leave, the door of the room was opened…
