Chapter 149

"Ah!~"

Losweiser let out a soft groan, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and took the toothbrush off to look at it. There was a faint red mark on it.

It bled from being brushed.

Leon looked over as well, then chuckled smugly. It seemed he had won the brushing contest.

He looked away and slowly continued brushing his teeth.

Losweiser glared at him resentfully and began their first exchange of the day.

"Is your toothpaste flavored like Dragon's Might?"

Leon was taken aback. "No, why do you ask that?"

"Why are you still scrolling so enthusiastically?"

"..."

This is a case of losing at brushing teeth and trying to get revenge on the mouth.

Will Leon indulge her?

He looked at Losweiser and leaned closer, saying, "Want to know what my toothpaste tastes like? Come here and let me show you."

Losweiser quickly raised her hand to press against his chest, "How disgusting, Casmod, don't make me curse you on our first day of living together."

Why didn't you say you felt disgusted last night?

"Shut up."

"Hey, why are you allowed to talk but I'm not?"

"I'm pregnant!" Losweiser declared emphatically.

Very well, Leon had already anticipated how Losweiser would act domineeringly and unreasonably, using the phrase "I'm pregnant" as an excuse during their future cohabitation.

Although she was never a reasonable Dragon Queen to begin with, her current status as a pregnant woman only made her more unscrupulous towards Leon.

But Leon couldn't do anything about it. After all, the night he confirmed the second pregnancy, he had promised Losweiser that he would tolerate her mood swings and quirks during her pregnancy.

Of course, Leon will keep this promise not only for Losweiser, but also for the second baby in her belly.

If we divide Leon's level of concern into 100 points, then the second child would account for 51 points, while the Dragon Queen would only account for 49.

Less than half, how can you say that Leon cares about Miss Melkwy? Right?

No.

49 is too high.

48, I guess.

The second child is more important.

Hmm, that's 48, no more than that.

After washing up, Losweiser left the bathroom wearing dragon-wing slippers.

Leon quickly tidied himself up and then went out.

When she went out, Losweiser was already sitting in front of her dressing table, getting ready.

Her silver hair reached her waist, and she held a small leather sash in her mouth. She first simply tied her long hair up, and then, looking in the mirror, braided a small braid on her left sideburn.

Leon remembered that he had secretly made it up for Losweiser when Losweiser was unconscious due to the Blood Seduction, just to prank her.

It's surprising that after so much time, this has become one of Losweiser's signature characteristics.

Leon stood behind Losweiser, his hands in the large pockets of his pajamas, leaning slightly against the wall, silently watching her comb her hair.

If Leon had known she liked his braided hair so much, he would have just given her pigtails in the first place.

However, twin tails might not look very dignified, which is unbecoming of her Queen status.

Lost in thought, Leon heard Losweiser's voice.

What are you going to do today?

Losweiser remained seated at her dressing table, back straight, silver hair cascading down, her arm raised as she continued combing her hair.

"Take Noa and Mu En to play in the backyard. In the afternoon, see what Mu En thinks. If she wants to study, then let her study for a while. If not, then give her half a day off so she can spend some time with Noa."

The two sisters can only see each other two days a week, on Saturdays and Sundays. While studying is important, maintaining their relationship is also crucial.

Besides, Mu En is only a little over a year old, an age when she naturally loves to play, Leon didn't want to put too much academic pressure on her.

"Hmm."

With her back to Leon, Losweiser gave a curt reply, then added, "I'll arrange a pest control operation for the Silver Dragon Sanctuary today, around 3 PM. Don't let the children return."

"OK."

"Also, remember to set aside time tomorrow; we're going to Sky City." Losweiser turned around.

Leon blinked. "What are we going to Sky City for?"

"Buy some things you might need during your pregnancy."

"I can't let Anna and the others go shopping," Losweiser said, "Otherwise they'll know I'm pregnant by now."

Leon shrugged. "No problem." (4)

After arranging their plans for the next two days, the couple went to the bathroom, while the other stayed in the bedroom—Barbie.

Change clothes.

Although they have met openly and honestly many times and know each other very well, they still need to avoid each other in daily life.

There has never been a precedent in history for Queen and prisoners of war to exchange clothes face to face.

Of course, there are no precedents for having children, kissing, or living together.

However, these two are different in nature.

Having a baby, kissing, and living together are unavoidable, but changing clothes in front of each other can be avoided.

This estranged couple always tried their best to distance themselves from each other.

However, perhaps they themselves did not realize that the more they tried to distance themselves, the more entangled they became.

After changing their clothes, the two walked out of the room one after the other.

They said goodbye at the door, in a very simple way, just a slight nod to each other.

And so our first night living together passed.

It feels... not bad?

At least it wasn't as tense or like a gunfight had been imagined.

However, given the couple's personalities, who knows what will happen in the future?

The next day, the couple went to Sky City.

Leon sat cross-legged on the back of Losweiser's dragon, holding the "Pregnancy Shopping List" that Losweiser had prepared the night before.

Both of them are used to making a clear plan or listing out a detailed list before starting something.

For example, they made thorough preparations before helping Noa pass the entrance exam for the Saint Hiss Academy and for their date in Sky City in "Parents' Love".

This habit greatly improves their efficiency and tolerance for mistakes, which is why Leon and Losweiser have never had any disagreements on anything other than "family status".

Leon looked at the list of items on his shopping list, most of which were nutritional supplements.

He had seen some of them in the Empire; they were specifically for supplementing the nutrition of pregnant women.

No wonder Losweiser didn't let Anna and the others buy them; after all, these supplements were obviously for pregnant women, and Anna could tell at a glance that her Your Majesty was pregnant with little princess.

As mentioned before, in the early stages of her pregnancy, Losweiser wanted to keep it a secret from her subordinates so as not to affect her daily work schedule.

The Silver Dragon Sanctuary's number one workaholic title is well-deserved.

But Losweiser is only two months pregnant, does she really need so many supplements?

"You bought so much? What if we can't finish it and it goes bad?" Leon asked.

"Is it a lot? I think it's alright. I ate much more than this when I was with Noa and the other girl."

Losweiser paused, then added, "Perhaps human pregnancy is different from Dragon Race pregnancy? Dragon Race need more nutrition."

That makes a lot of sense.

Human cubs of the same age are inferior to Dragon Race cubs in both intelligence and physical development.

Just like Noa and Mu En, who are not even two years old this year, the eldest daughter can win first place in the essay competition and fight three people in self-defense.

The youngest daughter is even more formidable; she unleashes a dual awakening of Lightning Element and Fire Element, her motto being "I want them all."

Human babies, around one year old, are probably still debating whether to call Daddy" or "Mom" first.

Therefore, it's normal that Dragon Race need more nutrition during pregnancy than humans, considering their growth rate after birth.

However, on the other hand, differences in individual abilities do not mean that humans are inferior to Dragon Race on the battlefield.

While Dragon Race are indeed powerful individually, their reproductive methods and traditional beliefs result in a relatively small population. Cases like Leon and Losweiser, where one child is twins and the second is born just in time, are extremely rare.

Moreover, the Dragon Race has split into many tribes, and its cohesion is not very strong.

Humans, on the other hand, can completely overwhelm the Dragon Race with sheer numbers and even seize more land from Dragon Race.

Furthermore, due to their prolific reproduction, humans possess a skill that Dragon Race do not have:

Draw cards.

Ordinary civilians are equivalent to the most common B-grade cards, which are slow even when used for clearing maps.

The normal Dragon Slayer is an A-rank card; with some development, it can still be used in battle.

An outstanding Dragon Slayer, one who can secure a minor official position within the entire Dragon Slayer Army, is a Rank S card.

As for a prodigy like Leon, who was born with Dragon Slayer Saint Body and could withstand a boulder shattering his chest before the age of ten, he is simply a one-in-a-million SSR god-tier pull!

If there were a few more European Emperor family among humans, and a few more SSRs like Leon, then this epic war between humans and dragons would probably end a few hundred years earlier.

Well, in the end, that's how wars between races work: using our strengths to attack their weaknesses.

After all, there is no perfect race in the world.

"What is this Jade Dew Dragon Fruit?" Leon looked at an item on the list that he had never heard of before.

"It is a very rare tonic, which has the effect of calming the fetus and nourishing the mind."

"I understand the importance of a healthy pregnancy, but... how about taking care of your mental well-being?"

"Yes, it's to soothe the mind and relieve anxiety."

"I'm worried that after a while I'll be even less able to control my emotions and temper," Losweiser said. "So... Leon, you'd better pray we can buy it in Sky City, or you'll be my Jade Dew Dragon Fruit."

Leon pouted and put the shopping list in his pocket. "So now I've gone from being your prisoner to your punching bag?"

"Isn't being a scapegoat a prisoner's duty by nature?"

"When I, your punching bag, finally reach overheating and I'll take you down with me, Dragon Queen!"

boom! ——

With a sonic boom, Losweiser accelerated towards Sky City.

A few hours later, the couple arrived in Sky City.

They first bought some common prenatal supplements and some loose-fitting clothes suitable for pregnant women.

The morning passed quickly, and only one item remained on the list.

It's the Jade Dew Dragon Fruit they mentioned on their way here.

It was indeed a very rare supplement; Leon and Losweiser went to several nutritional supplement stores but couldn't find it.

The couple stood on the street, Losweiser scratched her temple.

"It looks like it's impossible to buy them now."
