Chapter 157

"What? I can't hear you, honey. Just bear with it, it'll feel better soon~"

She didn't use much force, and Leon's struggle wasn't at the point of life or death.

This is just one part of the couple's daily fun.

However, as Leon patted the teddy bear haphazardly, he suddenly touched something slightly hard on its back.

His movements suddenly stopped, and his thoughts returned to a long time ago.

That was when Losweiser was unconscious after using Blood Seduction. He stayed by Losweiser's side all day, taking care of her, washing her face, wiping her body, and so on.

One day, Leon was so tired that he fell asleep by Losweiser's bedside, and his hand accidentally touched the teddy bear he had given to Losweiser.

He seemed to have touched something hard at that moment.

Most teddy bears seem to contain only soft cotton wool, right?

As I pondered this, the teddy bear that had been pressed against my face was moved away.

"Oh, honey, you're pretty hard to kill," Losweiser teased, looking at Leon's flushed face.

Leon ignored her and instead glanced at the teddy bear beside him.

Leon glanced at Losweiser and, taking advantage of her momentary inattention, suddenly grabbed the teddy bear and began to unzip its back.

Seeing this, Losweiser quickly wiped the smile off her face and lunged forward to snatch the teddy bear back.

Oh? So panicked?

There must be some unspeakable secret hidden inside this teddy bear!

Leon used a clever escape technique, slipping out from between Losweiser's legs.

Losweiser didn't even bother to put on her slippers before hurriedly getting out of bed to chase after Leon.

Leon was not about to let her catch up easily, so he put on a show of King Qin's circling the pillar maneuver for the Dragon Queen.

The couple chased each other around the big bed, much like kindergarten children playing a game of dropping the handkerchief.

After chasing each other for a while, Losweiser stood on the left side of the bed, while Leon stood on the right side.

The two faced each other across the bed, locked in a stalemate.

"Give me back the bear!" Losweiser said.

"No, the fact that you're in such a hurry means there must be something good inside."

"I'm not in a hurry!"

"Ha, you practically have your anxiety written all over your face."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leon seized the opportunity and ran straight to the balcony.

Losweiser took long strides, stepped over the bed, and chased after him barefoot.

However, by the time she reached the balcony, the poor teddy bear had already been "gutted" by the despicable Dragon Slayer.

In Leon's hand was a photograph.

Upon seeing this, Losweiser rushed forward and snatched the photo away.

Her face flushed, she put her hands behind her back and hid the photo behind her back.

But she was certain that Leon had already seen the contents of the photo.

Leon also dropped his playful grin. He scratched his head, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I didn't expect you still had that photo."

Losweiser bit her lower lip and explained stiffly, "I just forgot to throw it away."

"Forgot to throw it away... but you didn't hide it in the teddy bear I gave you..."

"I just forgot to throw it away."

After saying that, Losweiser bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, but finally threw the photo off the balcony.

The moment the photo disappeared into the night, Losweiser's heart skipped a beat.

But she still looked away, turned to Leon, and said stubbornly, "Look, I'm throwing it away now."

"Hey, you're really throwing it!"

Leon leaned over the balcony railing and looked down.

Unfortunately, it's nighttime now, and the light is very dim, so you can't see where the photo is taken at all.

"Of course I really threw it away. Tch, boring. Time for bed."

Wearing pink cartoon pajamas, she sullenly burrowed into the messy bed.

But Leon did not go back.

He stood blankly on the balcony, staring in the direction the photo had fallen, feeling the emptiness and loneliness as the "lively" evening drew to a close.

He had forgotten why he was smiling and gazing into the eyes of Losweiser in that photo.

But he still vividly remembers the sentence on the back of the photo.

May the silver light forever shine in the eyes of loved ones...

Regret.

I have a lot of regret.

When Dragon Race are emotional, they often do things that even they cannot control.

What kind of ingrained bad habit is this from some ancestor? It's been going on for tens of thousands of years and hasn't been changed at all.

At breakfast, Losweiser looked rather disheveled.

Her hair wasn't combed, she wasn't wearing makeup, and she had faint dark circles under her eyes.

In a moment of panic last night, she threw away the photo of her and Leon, and then she couldn't fall asleep in bed.

Leon seemed to have only gone back to bed and slept for about half an hour as dawn was approaching.

Before Anna came to the door to call them to have breakfast, the couple lay in bed back to back. They both knew the other was not asleep, but neither of them took the initiative to say anything.

They didn't know if this counted as arguing.

If we're going to count, why not do it like before? Use sharp and biting words to attack each other, and finally have a satisfying "human-dragon war" to end the matter;

But if that's not the case, how do we explain the emotional turmoil that the two of them are experiencing right now?

At the breakfast table, Mu En seemed to notice that Mom Daddy were acting a little strange.

She ate her breakfast obediently, without acting silly or cute as usual.

Dragon girl thought to herself, "I'll wait until my Daddy teaches me magic, then I'll ask Daddy what's going on."

She didn't understand what it meant to be stubborn, arrogant, or what marital conflict was. All she knew was that when such situations arose, her Daddy would only speak their minds after Mom separated.

Leon ate his bread in small bites, while Losweiser only occasionally drank a sip of water, leaving the tonics and fruit on her plate untouched.

This was the quietest breakfast the Melkwy family had had in months.

Mu En quietly finished her meal, jumped off the stool, and said, "Daddy, I'll go to the practice field to wait for you."

Leon suddenly realized, "Ah? Ah... okay, Daddy will be right there."

"Uh-huh."

Mu En left.

Leon looked away, glanced at Losweiser, and then gestured with his chin toward the supplements and fruit on her plate. "Eat some, or it'll be a waste."

"None of your business."

Well, she's really angry.

She had been angry with Leon before, but her way of getting angry was very "Dragon Race," with a kind of "this Queen 'm too lazy to reason with you, you're not worthy to listen, this Queen just explode right now" kind of beauty.

But this anger... gives Leon the feeling that his master's wife is having a tantrum with his master.

He also remembered that once his master promised to accompany his master's wife shopping. His master's wife dressed up beautifully that day and wore a pretty dress that she never wanted to wear.

As it turned out, the master had other things to deal with that day and stood his wife up.

Then, for three whole days, the master's wife didn't speak to him. No matter how hard the master tried, the master's wife's reply was just one word:

Oh. (6)

It's less about being angry and more like "sulking."

Leon found this situation most troublesome—because neither his master nor the Dragon Slaying Academy had taught him how to appease a sulking Dragon Queen. Part Two

He had indeed coaxed the donkey before, and quite successfully at that. He gave it two bundles of hay, and the donkey wagged its tail and started pulling the millstone again. 2.

However, it's clear that donkeys and dragons are not species of the same level and cannot be compared.

Furthermore, with Losweiser now pregnant with her second child, her emotions were already volatile, making it even more difficult for Leon to proceed.

Just as I was struggling with this, I caught a glimpse of Losweiser slowly eating the few pieces of fruit on her plate.

Leon finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, after finishing her meal, Losweiser didn't say much. She simply stood up, went back to her bedroom, and closed the door.

Leon scratched his cheek and finished the last bite of bread.

He considered talking to Losweiser, but if nothing unexpected happened, Losweiser probably wouldn't even open the door for him.

Leon knew her; once her stubborn temper flared up, not even eight dragons could pull her back.

He frowned in thought. To cure an illness, one must first find its root cause. Therefore, he needed to address the source of the problem that was causing Losweiser to be angry with him.

You can't make a girl happy with just words.

In the past, Leon wouldn't have cared whether she was angry or not; he wouldn't have cared even if she was as angry as a pufferfish.

But... but the Dragon Queen is pregnant.

Getting angry is bad for the baby.

Calm down as soon as possible, so that everyone can be happy.

Having devised a plan and found a perfect reason for his actions, Leon headed to the practice field.

When Mu En saw her Daddy coming alone, she ran over to him.

Leon put on a cute face, bent down and picked up his daughter, "What do you want to learn today?"

"Daddy, did you and Mom have a fight?" Mu En went straight to the point.

Leon was taken aback, looking at his daughter's serious little face. It was clear that Mu En had noticed his and Losweiser's state during breakfast that morning.

Although his darling daughter usually acts cute, Leon knows that she, like Noa, is a very thoughtful person.

Noa's approach was simply to make herself appear more mature;

Mu En, on the other hand, is more geared towards children.

Leon's mind stirred slightly, he smiled, and reached out to pinch Mu En's cheek. "No, Daddy Mom didn't fight."

In Mu En's eyes, this family must be harmonious, joyful, and free of conflict.

This was a consensus he and Losweiser reached from the very beginning.

The love and hate between the couple should not affect their daughters; they are innocent.

That's why Leon didn't tell the truth.

However, Mu En was quite quick-witted, "Really, Daddy?"

"Really? Would Daddy lie to you?"

"But this morning neither you nor your Mom spoke to each other, whereas you usually have a lot to talk about."

Leon blinked. "Do we... usually talk a lot?"

Mu En nodded firmly, "Yes, yes, although you don't see each other often during the day, when you do meet, you always talk non-stop, as if you always have endless topics to discuss."

Leon had never noticed this.

He and Losweiser... really do start talking non-stop as soon as they meet.

No, no... my daughter must be mistaken, Leon thought.
