“Huh?”
Miss Youfei followed Selina into the tavern, somewhat bewildered.
After all, this well-behaved girl, who had immersed herself in classical literature, was visiting such a dazzling place for the first time. In the past, even going out was strictly controlled by Babbus Riels.
But this little silver dragon, like a little devil from a light novel leading a good child astray, pulled her in step by step, breaking the outdated rules this noble young lady had upheld for eighteen years.
Watching Selina, who had run onto the big stage like a child as soon as she entered, bouncing and dancing to the music with adventurers under colorful spotlights.
Even the aloof Youfei couldn’t help but press her forehead and sigh.
She felt like an idiot for the first time in her life.
‘I actually suspected a real idiot of being a spy sent by her grandfather to watch me.’
‘What a bad woman.’
A wave of guilt for doubting the idiot suddenly washed over the ice beauty’s heart.
But just how strong is this Miss Silver Dragon’s heart!
Not only does she actively approach human-dense commercial districts, but she also dances so intimately with adventurers who make a living hunting non-humans.
Isn’t she at all afraid of having her identity discovered and being captured?
What difference is that from a fat sheep covered in gold?
Although Miss Youfei below the stage, her golden eyes now shed their disguise, kept watching the dancing silver dragon girl nervously, afraid that a wrong move might reveal her dragon tail.
But on stage, Selina was having a great time dancing.
The constantly changing spotlights, the rousing music, the joyful footsteps—it all seemed to let her forget all her troubles.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, she hopped to the edge of the stage, looked down at Youfei, and extended her small hand.
“Yo, my beautiful lady, may I have this dance?”
The ice beauty subconsciously thought Selina had finally had enough fun, realized the danger here, and was ready to let her take her away.
But who would have thought that Selina would pull her directly onto that brilliantly lit stage.
This baby-voiced little silver dragon even stubbornly imitated an adult, striking a gentlemanly pose and reaching out to her.
The clever Selina had just suddenly realized while dancing.
‘How could I, a dragon with such “manliness,” leave my good friend to play alone?’
‘Moreover, besides Alice, I’ve never danced with anyone else.’
The heated atmosphere made her want to try something new.
“Wait, I don’t want to dance with you! Ahhh—”
Before the stunned Youfei could react, she was already being pulled by the little silver dragon, spinning round and round under the stage spotlights.
Although the pair of “silver-haired loli with tall girl” was somewhat mismatched in height.
But one had to admit that Youfei’s dancing skills were extremely high.
Even in slender red-bottom high heels, her dance was as elegant as a white swan.
With every beautiful move, she would slightly lift her long, swan-like neck, as if bowing gracefully to the audience.
As for our adorable Miss Selina, she was like a little swan being protected under the swan mother’s wing, afraid of falling.
Not stepping on Youfei’s feet counted as success.
Soon, the two girls’ spectacular dance attracted more and more burly adventurers to stop and watch.
Everyone raised their glasses in unison and applauded warmly.
“Great! Amazing!”
“Little miss, you dance wonderfully! Encore!”
The rain outside was falling harder and harder.
But it didn’t affect the tavern’s atmosphere at all; instead, it grew even more lively.
Youfei looked at the adventurers below who were applauding her sincerely, then looked up at the constantly changing colored spotlights.
The ice beauty, infected by the atmosphere, simply lifted the cute silver dragon girl in her arms, spun her gracefully in the air, and put a perfect end to the dance.
Finally, she caught Selina mid-air steadily and gently held the silver dragon girl in her arms.
Feeling the warmth from the girl, she couldn’t help but stroke her cute little head like petting a cat.
Then, the two bowed together to the audience.
The ice beauty led the dizzy Selina by the hand, enjoying the thunderous applause.
Her cold, beautiful face finally broke into a smile, like a flower budding in spring.
It was the first time she felt that dancing could be just for happiness. Not for complicated social gatherings. Not to deal with the endless stream of suitors.
“Hehehe, I told you it would be fun, didn’t I, Miss Gloomy?”
Seeing Youfei finally smile, Selina was so proud she almost raised her big tail.
Luckily, the reliable Miss Youfei was quick, holding her like a child and pressing her into her arms, preventing the precious silver dragon girl from revealing her true form under the watchful eyes of all the adventurers.
But no sooner had one thing settled than another arose.
Our Miss Selina, as if she hadn’t had enough fun, directly jumped onto a round table, used her glass as a microphone, cleared her throat, and shouted loudly:
“Hehehe! Waiter, two crates of ale!”
“Today I’m going to drink until I’m drunk with my friend!”
“And! Tonight, all drinks are on me!”
The girl’s bold declaration was like the first firework to bloom.
Instantly, it pushed the tavern’s atmosphere to a new climax.
“Miss Gloomy, come on, let’s drink!”
Then, she raised a full mug of ale and pointed it at Youfei.
Actually, Youfei was already quite sober at this point.
She knew she couldn’t keep fooling around.
First of all, tomorrow was the Sera Academy assessment, and there was still much to prepare.
What if someone recognized her here?
If the Riels family found out, those cold-blooded people would definitely go after Selina.
So, even though she couldn’t bear to leave this little silver dragon who brought her endless joy,
she told herself: Just treat tonight as a dream of indulgence.
After the dream ends, she would still be the strict, unsociable Discipline Committee Chairperson in her classmates’ eyes.
Still the puppet who could never escape Babbus Riels’s control.
Thinking of this, she looked sadly at Selina, who was gulping down ale, her mouth covered in white foam like a mustache.
She gently placed nine gold coins on the table, turned, and prepared to leave.
But she hadn’t expected that, just like in a fairy tale where the evil dragon kidnaps the princess, this little evil dragon in front of her obviously didn’t intend to let her go.
Selina wrapped both arms tightly around her slender waist, clinging like a pendant to her wet black knee-highs.
“Ara ara, Miss Gloomy, are you running away?”
“Instead of going back out to get wet in the rain, you might as well stay and play with me!”
“I’m not running away.”
Youfei’s expression remained somewhat cold as she spoke, while carrying the stubbornly clinging Selina and continuing toward the door.
“I just… have something I must do.”
