Chapter 257

Constantine may be right; the one you love is also your weakness.

Leon willingly allowed himself to be bound by his weakness.

Those were his family, his most important connection in this world.

Noa and Aurorla exchanged a glance, then looked again at the man sitting opposite them.

"You didn't get to the point."

"Huh? Huh?" Leon looked up, looking completely bewildered.

"Just kidding, Dad. Everyone knows you're a doting father." Aurorla couldn't hide her laughter.

Leon's face immediately darkened. "You've grown up, and you've learned to deceive your Dad's feelings, haven't you?"

"Who deceived your feelings? We haven't seen each other for twenty years, and we just wanted to confirm if you still love us."

After Aurorla quickly changed the subject, "Ahem, Big Sister is right, you didn't get to the point."

"What's the key point?" Leon asked.

Noa lowered her legs, moved closer to the table, and looked at Leon. "You love me, Mu En, you love Xiao Guang, but have you forgotten the last family member?"

Leon blinked, then suddenly realized, "Oh~~~ I know!"

"Okay, go ahead and say it."

"I love donkeys too."

Noa & Xiaoguang:?

"Sis, I take back what I just said. Your punch wasn't strong enough."

Snap—

Noa slammed her hand on the table. "Get serious, you old bastard! Tell me, do you love her or not!"

"First, is it really necessary to say this...?"

The two sisters nodded in unison.

Leon realized he couldn't avoid it.

He let out a long sigh, composed himself, and then nodded seriously.

"I love her, Losweiser Melkwy, your Mom ... I love her."

I suppose the foolish dragon didn't hear the confession he made before entering the spacetime rift...

That's why his daughters are pressing him for answers now.

Leon didn't understand one thing: why did he have to say "I love you" now?

Couldn't we wait until we meet the female lead in the movie "Our Parents' Love" before saying it to her face?

"So, since you already knew I was human..."

Leon looked at his youngest daughter, "Then why did you keep asking me to turn into a dragon? Can I? Can I transform?"

Aurorla smiled without saying a word.

General Leon was taken aback, then suddenly realized what was going on.

"Happy, happy people..."

When Leon first met this future Xiaoguang, and heard her cold tone of voice, Leon thought that the past twenty years had changed her personality since childhood.

After all, the youngest daughter is a tough person who kept quiet for two whole months just so she could watch Dad Mom bicker and argue more.

But unexpectedly—

It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature!

The guy who makes fun is still the same guy who makes fun.

She's just become prettier, more mature, and is now wearing a white lab coat.

"Mom used to enjoy seeing Dad make a fool of himself, and I just inherited that from Mom," Aurorla explained logically.

"So... when will you take me to meet your Mom and Mu En?"

"Now is fine. But I thought you'd have a lot of questions, like what the current situation is... and so on," Noa said.

Leon's eyes flickered slightly as he replied, "You can ask me questions on the way. Besides... no matter how urgent the situation, I can handle it. Right now, I just want to see your sister and Mom as soon as possible."

"Hiss--"

Aurorla gasped. "If anyone else said that, I would just think they were bragging, but coming from you, Dad... I really think you can do it."

This also aligns with her first feeling when she reunited with Leon a few hours earlier:

Daddy's back, the strongest man is back, and all the troubles will be resolved.

Noa smiled knowingly. The old bastard was just as she remembered him—so confident, and a little bit childish.

"Okay, let's go then."

Noa stood up and walked towards the cave exit. "Xiao Guang, you must be tired after flying all this way?"

"Yeah, it's quite tiring."

Aurorla rubbed her shoulder. "She only learned to transform into a dragon not long ago, and she's already flown this far, carrying a 77-kilogram old fool on her back."

"Does it have to be accurate to a specific number...?"

"That's the rigor scientists show when it comes to numbers, Dad."

Leon scoffed.

Chatting with my youngest daughter always feels like I'm bantering with Losweiser.

This made Leon even more eager to meet Losweiser twenty years later—provided the Dragon Queen didn't punch him right away.

He could barely withstand the strength of his two daughters, but Losweiser's punch was like the Dragon King's's punch; it would surely shatter General Leon's duodenum.

Lost in thought, the father and his two daughters arrived at the cave exit.

Noa spread her dragon wings and transformed into Dragon form.

Her dragon form is also entirely silver, after all, her race is a silver dragon.

However, because she has half Leon's bloodline, a small portion of her scales are black.

It's not a stark black, but a very smooth gradient.

Aside from that, she is much smaller than Losweiser, and there is no other difference.

Leon and Aurorla rode on Noa's back, and Noa flapped her dragon wings and flew out of the cave.

After leaving the ravine, Leon looked back and remembered that a few hours earlier Xiao Guang had told him that Noa was waiting for him here.

"Wait..."

Leon paused for a moment, then asked, "Noa, you've been waiting for me here all this time, haven't you?"

"Um."

"So... Xiao Guang is waiting for me at the Silver Dragon Sanctuary?"

"Yes, Dad." Xiao Guang sat down next to him. "Because there are only these two locations that you might go to when you come back someday, we can't be sure which one it is, so we can only wait separately."

Leon pondered his daughter's words.

She only mentioned that she and her sister were waiting for Leon in two different places, but deliberately omitted the fact that "this wait lasted for twenty years."

Aurorla did indeed enjoy being a carefree, fun-loving person, just as she always had, but she was also just as thoughtful.

Leon scratched his temple and asked, "But what if I never come back...?"

"That--"

"Then we'll just keep waiting," Noa said, speaking for her sister.

Leon looked at the giant dragon beneath him.

His daughters seem to have grown up, yet they also seem not to have grown up.

They became strong, mature, and composed, but they remained as stubborn as children.

Waiting for someone who may never come back is the most agonizing thing in the world.

Leon covered his face with his hands and sighed heavily.

Aurorla watched her Dad silently, without saying anything.

Under the cover of night, the Silver Dragon Queen flew towards a certain part of the Dragon race territory.

The truth of everything is hidden there.

After a flight of eight or nine hours, Noa finally slowed down.

Below them was a dense forest, and they had not seen any Dragon Race tribes along the way.

Noa descended slowly, landing in the forest.

After transforming into human form, she turned to look at the two of them and said, "Let's go."

Leon nodded and followed along with Aurorla.

This place is very, very far from the Silver Dragon territory, and judging from the surrounding environment, there are no signs of war.

Leon didn't know whether they left the Silver Dragon Sanctuary voluntarily or fled here because they were being hunted down by someone.

But regardless, he will soon be able to see Losweiser and Mu En, and soon he will know the whole story.

Follow Noa deep into the heart of the mountains and forests.

We also took a winding, narrow path; the roads were so complex that it would be easy to get lost without a guide.

After walking for about twenty more minutes, the father and his two daughters arrived at a huge rock.

The road ends here.

Noa slowly raised her hand and gently placed it on the boulder.

The next moment, the boulder began to flicker erratically, and then disappeared.

Illusion magic.

And it was a very high-end one; even Leon hadn't noticed it at first. He thought there might be some kind of hidden passage or switch on the stone.

Behind the Illusion boulder is a tunnel.

The two daughters stepped in, with Leon following closely behind.

After the father and his two daughters had all entered the tunnel, the boulder reappeared.

Footsteps echoed in the dark tunnel. Noa bent down, picked up a torch from a corner, and lit it with dragon flame.

The firelight illuminated the path beneath our feet.

Leon looked slightly surprised.

Noa's elemental attribute is the same as his; it's lightning.

Although people will learn another type of elemental magic later on, it takes much longer to master it.

Noa's mastery of Fire Element manipulation is far beyond what one would expect for someone her age.

It seems that the King of Rolls hasn't changed at all over the years.

"Let's keep going."

Noa's voice interrupted Leon's thoughts.

"Good."

The three of them walked through the tunnel, which led to several spiral staircases that led underground.

They descended the steps and arrived at a meticulously renovated underground space.

Noa placed the torch next to a wooden door, then reached out and pushed the door open.

Upon hearing the door open, a cheerful voice, identical to Noa's, immediately came from inside:
