Chapter 124 The Legend of the Evil Dragon in the Childhood World

Qiao Xiao asked, "Now, should I start trying to seduce other people?"

System: "Host, we are about to travel to the fairy tale world to unlock new storylines."

Qiao Xiao asked coldly, "What's the point?"

"For the activation of the three-dimensional world, host."

Qiao Xiao's eyes were icy cold. "I know. Let's begin."

System: "Transferring to a fairytale world..."

"The current world is a legend of dragons. Dragons, as the undisputed rulers of this land, are challenged by a dragon-slaying hero every half century. These heroes, upon turning twenty, will foresee their destined duel with the dragon. Therefore, every dragon-slaying hero faces the fate of either personally slaying the dragon or perishing in battle."

“There was once a brave warrior who slew the dragon when it was wounded. This warrior was your adoptive father, Taman. In his later years, he found you by chance and took you home, naming you Joe. Unfortunately, the dying dragon launched a final attack on Taman before it died, severing his life and causing him to pass away when you were young.”

Qiao Xiao: Why didn't you get to the point?

"Afterwards, you were adopted by the king and became his noble princess..."

Qiao Xiao interrupted the narration: "Where's the dragon? What's the plot?"

System: "The main storyline revolves around Asdor, the eldest son of the dragon defeated by your adoptive father, who is about to come of age. According to the ancient world's covenant, if no new dragon slayer emerges, a member of the royal family must be offered as a sacrifice to the dragon. Unfortunately, you became the royal family's sacrifice and were kidnapped by Asdor. But fate intervened, revealing you as the chosen one to be the next dragon slayer, and you ultimately ended the threat of the dragon Asdor with your own hands."

Qiao Xiao is currently inside the royal palace.

Qiao Xiao: "My roles are really one-dimensional, always starting with a princess."

At this moment, she was sitting in front of the mirror, with a maidservant beside her, carefully tidying her makeup. On the dressing table, there was a dazzling array of exquisite jewelry.

Joe's hair was bright white, extremely dazzling. It should be noted that the hair color of royal family members is mostly silver-white, while Joe's was more like a flawless pure white.

When Qiao was adopted, she was slender, thin but all muscle, with a firm and powerful physique, and her height was below average.

Maid: "Princess, today is Prince Mingya's birthday. As his sisters, you, the Third Princess, must dress up carefully."

Qiao Xiao: "Let me braid my long hair. Xue Di has never liked me showing my hair."

Upon hearing this, the maid paused slightly, then continued what she was doing, saying gently, "You have a wonderful personality; the Third Princess will surely adore you."

Qiao Xiao smiled gently and gazed quietly at herself in the mirror.

On Prince Mingya's birthday.

Prince Mingya is the eldest of the three children, at seventeen years old, followed by Joe at sixteen, and the youngest is Xuedi at fifteen.

Each minister brought their own invitation and betrothal gifts to celebrate Prince Mingya's birthday—the future heir.

Qiao Xiao met Xue Di in the corridor leading to the banquet. Xue Di was a cute and sweet-looking girl who seemed arrogant and domineering, with an air of naivety that had never been broken by society.

When Joe and Sherry meet, Joe always deliberately avoids her, not daring to look Sherry in the eye, and his aura is always suppressed by her.

Qiao Xiao asked the system, "Do I need to maintain my persona?"

The system replied: "Host, as long as it doesn't go too wrong, completing the storyline is the most important thing."

Qiao Xiao chose to temporarily avoid the limelight, just like the original owner of the body, deliberately avoiding her gaze, but how could Xue Di let her off so easily?

She took a step forward, her feet clad in those luxurious crimson high heels, and forcefully blocked Qiao Xiao's path.

"Where are you going, my dear sister?"

Snowy's voice was as sweet as her appearance, and she was like a delicate cream cake, soft and lovely, clearly pampered. Her silver-white hair, like cascading tassels, fell in strands over her shoulders.

Although Qiao Xiao sensed the provocation in her words, she found it inexplicably amusing. In her insecure heart, Qiao had never dared to confront Xue Di directly, but now, it was Qiao Xiao standing there.

Qiao Xiao met Rixin's gaze and said in a gentle tone, "I was just about to go to the banquet, would you like to come along?"

Shetty was clearly taken aback by this sudden turn of events, which was quite different from what she had expected.

"What did you say?"

Qiao Xiao smiled slightly, said nothing more, and turned to leave. The maid was stunned by her confident and unusual behavior. "Princess, what are you doing…?"

Qiao Xiao explained, "I'm already sixteen, and I'll be an adult in two years. Things have to change, right?"

The maid was genuinely pleased with Qiao Xiao's change, and she replied with a joyful expression, "Yes, Princess."

The prince's birthday celebrations have always been grand and extravagant, with gold and glitter being an understatement to describe their opulence. A national orchestra is playing melodious music, and dukes, duchesses, priests, bishops, and other members of high society come to offer their blessings for the prince's birthday.

The socialites are doing everything they can to attract the prince's attention.

The moment Prince Mingya appeared, a socialite immediately went to greet him, and soon others followed suit, and Mingya was quickly surrounded by a crowd.

Qiao Xiao watched this scene quietly from a distance, her face expressionless. "The prince is really popular."

She looked calmly at her nominal brother and asked, "What's so special about his seventeenth birthday that warrants such a grand celebration? I don't understand."

System: "An evil dragon will appear."

Qiao Xiao pressed further, "Why is this happening?"

"To demonstrate his bravery, the prince would sing the Dragon Song on his stage. This song is said to be able to awaken dragons, and thus the evil dragon Astol would be attracted to it."

Qiao Xiao: "Is he the only one who will come?"

"Dragons have a strong sense of territory. Unauthorized intrusion into the aura of other dragons is a serious provocation against the supreme authority of the lord."

Qiao Xiao nodded knowingly. She tried her best to appear inconspicuous. In fact, she didn't need to do anything. The people in this kingdom didn't treat her very well. This might be related to her aloof personality, or it might be related to the King and Queen's neglect of her, which resulted in her being treated far worse than other members of the royal family.

Qiao Xiao was very satisfied with the current state; there were no disturbances, and it was as quiet as if she didn't exist.

She had no interest in anyone and just wanted to hide away. If she hadn't been forced to attend this party, she could have stayed somewhere meditating without a care in the world.

Fortunately, Shirley was busy socializing today and didn't have time to bother her. This made her feel much more relaxed, at least she didn't have to deal with those boring antics.

Before long, it was the prince's turn to present himself. The king led his beloved wife, the queen, and their daughter, Sherry, onto the stage.

Qiao Xiao was forced to step forward, and had to maintain the "unity of the royal family".

Nevertheless, the light always shone on the three of them, leaving Qiao Xiao with no choice but to stand in an inconspicuous, dark spot.

Often, when the king introduces his family members, he doesn't even mention Qiao Xiao. This obvious difference in treatment is clear and reveals the subtle relationship between them.

However, Qiao Xiao didn't care. She preferred to be ignored rather than get involved in the complicated power struggles within the royal family.

Qiao Xiao: "It's started."

She looked at Prince Mingya, who strode confidently toward the center of the stage to show off his agile figure. The young man displayed his pride and made no attempt to hide his arrogance.

Qiao Xiao: She's really different from Shi Bozi.

All the light focused on the little prince, who was dressed in an elegant and sophisticated white-gold suit, his gaze fixed firmly on the distance, and he began to sing.
