Leon was dazed and seeing stars from that impact, but thankfully his Master had taught him the invincible body technique when he was young. If he could withstand having a brick smashed on his chest, he could surely withstand a door panel from the little dragon girl.

He'd be fine after a moment.

"I'm sorry, Daddy, Muen, Muen hurt you..." the little dragon girl said pitifully, clutching Leon's sleeve.

Leon was stunned.

She had just told him not to let Leon touch her, and less than a minute had passed. How had she suddenly changed back?

Could it be...

Was the genetic defect of a human-dragon hybrid a form of split personality?

Leon sat down at the table with Muen's help.

Muen lifted her small hands and gently rubbed Leon's nose bridge, apologizing in a childish voice.

"I'm sorry, Daddy, Muen really didn't mean to. Muen didn't expect that a gentle push on the door would send Daddy so far."

She pouted her small lips, her warm pupils shining with light, as if she would cry if Leon didn't forgive her.

"Does Daddy still hurt? Muen will blow on it, and it won't hurt anymore~"

As she spoke, Muen cupped Leon's cheeks with her small hands and gently blew on his forehead.

The warm, gentle breath brushed over him, and Leon's heart melted.

He completely ignored Losweiser's sarcastic remarks, his heart as hard as steel.

But when the little dragon girl acted spoiled and apologized, he even wondered if he had done something wrong.

As expected, a daughter is not only an old father's little cotton-padded jacket, but also a sugar-filled cannonball that penetrates the old father's hardened heart wall.

Leon pulled Muen onto his lap and reached out to wipe the warm tears from the corners of her eyes. "It's okay, it's okay, Muen, don't think too much about it. It's Daddy's fault for being useless. Daddy couldn't even withstand a mere door panel. Daddy will definitely exercise more in the future and try to withstand it a few more times."

Muen giggled and wiped her eyes. "It's good that Daddy isn't hurting!"

Leon smiled and pinched Muen's little nose. "Okay, then let's—chua~"

He made a gesture of "turning a page" and said, "Let's turn the page on this and forget about it, okay?"

Muen squinted and smiled, replying softly, "Okay~ Daddy is the best~"

As she spoke, Muen wrapped her arms around Leon's neck and gave him a big kiss on the side of his face.

While Leon was flattered, he couldn't help but overthink things again.

It felt like being gaslighted by his own daughter...

Five minutes ago, it was "Don't touch me, idiot";

Five minutes later, it was "Daddy is the best, muuuua~"

Hiss—

Dragons were truly a perplexing species.

"Daddy, what are we doing this afternoon?"

This question sparked an idea for Leon. He picked up the paper on the table and pointed to the content. "This afternoon, Daddy will teach you how to write these three names, how about that?"

Learning to read and write was indeed a novelty for Muen.

She nodded excitedly. "Okay, okay, Daddy, teach me quickly~"

"Didn't Mommy teach you before?" Leon asked casually as he prepared the paper and pen.

"Mother said she'd wait for you to wake up and teach me, hehe~"

The Dragon Queen's name is Laziness.

Muen moved a small stool and sat next to Leon.

Leon first taught her how to hold a pen.

Muen grasped it quickly and could hold the pen steady after a few tries.

Then Leon began to teach her from the recognition stage.

"The first name is Daddy's, Leon Kasmod. You can try writing it first."

"Oh, okay."

Muen held the pen tightly in one hand and pressed the scrap paper with the other, her concentration so intense that even her mouth seemed to be working hard.

Leon's name was relatively easy to write, its pronunciation derived from "Lion," and the spelling was similar.

"Don't press too hard, or you'll poke through the paper. Take your time, don't rush."

"Mhm."

Muen was also very quick-witted. After a little guidance from Leon, she could roughly trace Leon's name.

"Very good, Muen. Now, let's learn the stroke order for the letters," Leon said.

"Huh? Is there a specific order? Muen thought as long as it was written down, it was fine."

"Of course, there's an order. As the saying goes, 'Nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards.' If the order isn't specified, then writing wouldn't be called writing, but drawing."

Leon patiently explained, "With a set order, the characters Muen writes will look much better."

"Okay~ I get it, Daddy, I'll practice hard!"

"Mhm, keep going."

Leon then began teaching the order of writing letters.

At first, Muen couldn't help but write whichever stroke was easier first, but with Leon's patient corrections, and her own innate understanding, she quickly learned to write "Leon Kasmod" beautifully.

Leon was very pleased with this.

Next, they started practicing Losweiser's name.

Her name was a bit more difficult.

But perhaps it was the "Mother" buff, Muen practiced with exceptional seriousness.

When practicing Leon's name, she used three pages of scratch paper; But for Losweiser's name, Muen used a full seven or eight pages.

Leon looked at the scratch paper covering the table and said with a sigh, "You really like writing your mom's name that much, huh..."

"Mmm..."

"You keep practicing, Daddy's going to the restroom."

"Oh, okay."

Muen blinked her beautiful big eyes.

She was still too young to understand what "jealousy" meant.

But she could sense that Daddy seemed bothered by the different number of pages she used for practicing.

So, while Leon was in the restroom, Muen quietly picked up her pen and started rewriting Leon's name.

Before long, she had practiced many more pages of "Leon Kasmod."

"1, 2, 3... 11 pages, Daddy, Muen wrote 11 pages of your name!"

When Leon returned, Muen happily held up the 11 pages of scratch paper for him to see.

Leon was slightly taken aback, and his heart warmed.

My little cotton jacket really knows her old man!

You're a million times better than your stubborn mother!

Leon pulled Muen's little face close and nuzzled her affectionately.

Muen's chubby baby cheeks were squished flat, but she was very happy.

This seemed to be the first time Daddy had actively shown her such affection.

"Alright, now let's practice the last name, which is your own, Muen Melkewei."

"Huh? Muen isn't that name."

Leon blinked, "Or do we have different understandings of 'Muen'..."

"No, no, it's the middle name. Muen has a middle name."

The custom of a middle name was quite common among royal descendants in the Empire, often taking the first letter of the surname of those who married into or were adopted into the royal family.

It also represented the royal family's respect for the individual and acknowledged their status within the royal family.

Leon hadn't expected this custom to exist within the dragon race as well.

"Then what's Muen's middle name?"

"K."

"K?"

"Yes, Muen K Melkewei. K represents Daddy's surname, Casmod."

Muen paused, then added with a serious expression, "Mother said so."

Leon felt a bit surprised, "Your mother said that?"

"Mhm."

This point was completely unexpected for Leon.

He had thought he was just a tool for raising a child in this dragon nest, with no real status.

The so-called "father" was merely Muen's wishful thinking; in reality, in Losweiser's eyes, he was nothing.

But the fact was, when Losweiser gave Muen her name, she had specifically followed the custom and used the first letter of Leon's surname as her middle name.

Leon didn't know what this signified among the dragon race.

But in human society, using the first letter of one spouse's surname as a child's middle name was an acknowledgment of that person, recognizing their position in the family.

Leon pursed his lips, trying to figure out what that Dragon Queen was thinking.

Perhaps it was just to make this harmonious family drama even more convincing?

He shook his head, clearing his thoughts, and said, "Okay, Daddy knows. Let's start practicing your name then."

"Muen."

Muen was also very serious when writing her name.

Her name's pronunciation was derived from "moon," and it was also very easy to spell.

Not everyone was like Losweiser, that Dragon Queen, who gave herself such an awkward and tongue-twisting name.

Leon worried that if they ever got carried away during a fight to the death in bed due to the resonance of their Dragon Marks, he might accidentally call her by the wrong name.

"I've practiced it~ Daddy, what do you think?"

Leon looked at the parchment.

Muen's handwriting was neat, and her strokes were continuous. For a child, it was already good calligraphy.

He patted Muen's head with satisfaction, "Muen, you're amazing. You learned all our family's names so quickly."

"Family?"

"Yes, we're family."

Muen blinked, then shook her head, "No, no. If we're family, then we're still missing one."

Hearing this, Leon's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.

Family... still missing one...

He then recalled that ill-tempered Muen he encountered at noon
