Chapter 279

You bastard, you're just making excuses here. Don't think I, the this Queen, can't see through you.

Okay, so you're not going to take the initiative?

Then my husband and I will have to review the "art of tug-of-war".

"Oh dear, that's a pity. I've also forgotten how to kiss. This is so difficult," Losweiser said sweetly.

Leon glanced at her sitting on his lap, then at the way she was hugging his neck.

And that alluring gaze and ambiguous tone—

"Your smooth and fluid combo doesn't look like you've forgotten it at all, does it?"

"I'm sorry, honey, it's like how I used to only win crucial games."

"What's the meaning?"

"Only win the crucial games, and only forget the crucial things. Sigh~ Look at my brain, it's so stupid."

"..."

Losweiser thrust her chest forward, her soft breasts gently pressing against Leon's chest.

"What should I do, honey? Honey, say something!"

Leon's eye twitched slightly.

Stop pinching, Dragon Queen.

I just finished eating and I feel like throwing up from the spiciness!

The couple continued their standoff, neither wanting to succumb to their impulses towards the other as they had done before.

Although we rushed in directly, it was good for them, good for me, and good for everyone.

But every tug-of-war and confrontation concerns the two people's status in the family, so decisions cannot be made lightly.

Their black and silver eyes reflected each other's images. They were so close that their breaths mingled, and they could even hear each other's increasingly rapid heartbeats.

Six months later, the longing in my heart had already surpassed the feeling of a reunion after a short separation.

Rustle--

The silver tail rubbed against the floor, then slowly wrapped around Leon's ankle, and then gently wrapped around his calf.

The nimble tip of its tail slipped into his trouser leg, teasing the back of his knee.

It's a tingling, itchy sensation; I'm extremely sensitive.

Leon, inhaling that familiar and pleasant scent, finally decided to succumb to it.

He gently lifted Losweiser's delicate face and kissed her lips.

Their lips parted and closed, as if savoring each other's flavors.

After a brief, tentative introduction, a deeper level of communication follows.

They all lied.

Six months did not make them forget how to kiss each other; quite the opposite.

Because they had been apart for so long, their longing for each other became even stronger, and they became increasingly intoxicated by the kiss, unable to extricate themselves.

After kissing her head, Leon's hand slowly moved down from Losweiser's face.

His kiss swept across her fair swan neck, across her slender, straight collarbone, lingering for a moment on her soft flesh, adding a touch of excitement to this long-awaited, deep kiss.

Then, he reached towards Losweiser's lower abdomen.

However, as his fingertips traced across Losweiser's ribs, her body suddenly jerked, and she involuntarily let out a muffled groan.

Leon panicked and quickly stopped, asking, "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"

"No..."

Losweiser frowned slightly. "War... after fighting for so long, of course there will be some injuries."

She gently touched her lower ribs and forced a smile. "This must be where I was hit by a rock thrown at me when I transformed into my dragon form a few days ago... Ouch... It's not fully healed yet."

Seeing how much pain she's in, it's not like she hasn't fully recovered; it's as if she was beaten just yesterday.

Leon quickly helped Losweiser sit down on a chair next to him so she could catch her breath.

"You were holding it in because your daughters were still here, weren't you?" Leon asked as he checked her injuries.

"Um..."

He lifted Losweiser's shirt, his fingers accidentally brushing against her warm, smooth skin.

But it also resulted in many more wounds.

It seems that she has had a very difficult six months.

Leon frowned, gently pressing on her ribs, asking if it hurt.

Losweiser lifted the hem of her clothes and said softly, "It's alright. With the Dragon Race's self-healing ability, this kind of injury will recover in a few days even without any treatment."

"It will hurt for a while, right?"

Leon picked up the conversation, then put down her clothes. "I'll go to Shirley's later and get you some painkillers."

Losweiser didn't insist and nodded, "Okay. Then... shall we go back to our room first?"

"Um."

Losweiser clutched her ribs and slowly stood up.

However, just as she was about to turn around and take a step, she saw that Leon was still sitting in the chair.

"Aren't you full?" Losweiser asked.

"No..." He touched his thigh, his face looking rather pale.

Losweiser noticed his subtle movements and asked with concern, "Is your leg injured?"

Leon shook his head. "It seems that the battle just now was my limit... I've been saving up Magic Power for a long time, plus the Gate of Nine Hells. After dealing with those dragon kings, I can barely walk."

If it were the old Leon, facing four dragon kings, it would have been a tough battle.

Although he appeared to have wiped out the dragon kings almost unscathed in the battle, the rapid depletion of his Magic Power and the side effects of the Gate of Nine Hells gradually returned after the battle.

The Queen paused for a moment, then shook her head with a wry smile, walked to Leon's side, and took his arm. "I understand you. You didn't want your daughters to worry, so you've been holding back."

Leon smiled helplessly and let Losweiser help him up.

The couple, with their arms around each other's shoulders and waists, helped each other out of the restaurant and slowly walked down the corridor.

"However, if I had more Magic Power, I shouldn't be unable to walk."

Leon said, "But what I just saw... should be the limit of the Dragon Mark's energy storage. I tried to condense more, Dragon Mark stopped absorbing Magic Power and was instead taken away by that unknown 'thing' inside my body."

Losweiser's mind stirred slightly, and she pursed her lips. "I do... have a way to help you store more Magic Power."

Leon glanced at her sideways. "What method?"

The Queen smiled mysteriously, "You really want to know?"

Looking at her mischievous smile, General Leon felt a little uneasy.

He swallowed hard, and asked tremblingly, "It's not some kind of weird method, is it...?"

"No, no, no, don't worry, it's not strange at all~"

"We'll give it a try once I'm healed," Losweiser said.

"Oh... um?! No, why isn't it 'I', but 'we'?!"

A day later, we still didn't know what method Losweiser had said could help Leon store more Magic Power.

She only said that she was injured and not suitable for vigorous movements.

So we'll have to wait until they've both fully recovered before we talk about it.

Leon pondered the sentence carefully.

"Extreme, sweeping movements... it's really not a good thing no matter how you look at it..."

In the front courtyard of the Silver Dragon Sanctuary, Leon sat under the pavilion, gazing at the azure sky, which was cloudless.

He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and closed his eyes, trying to clear his mind.

My body is still in a state of extreme fatigue and weakness. Even the simplest act of condensing Magic Power causes a strong burning sensation in the magic circuits within my body.

Moreover, this is only a symptom of excessive Magic Power consumption.

The side effects of the Gate of Nine Hells also tormented him, causing him unbearable pain in his bones and muscles.

These side effects cannot be relieved by taking medication; they can only be gradually subsided.

Leon estimated that it would take at least ten days to half a month.

In fact, he rarely overexerts himself in battle like he did yesterday.

But it was clear that the dragon kings were determined to kill him. If he had held back even a little, he wouldn't be sitting in the Dragon Queen's courtyard right now, contemplating life.

They went down to play the revival match against Lao Kang a long time ago.

However, after this battle, Leon guessed that the Empire would probably not choose to engage in direct combat again.

For so long, in order to kill a human like him, six dragon kings were killed in just one day yesterday—in the past, this would have been half a year's worth of General Leon's achievements—this efficiency of layoffs is something that not only Leon himself can't handle, but even the empire and the Dragon Race that colluded with him certainly can't withstand.

Therefore, after this, the Empire will likely find other ways to deal with Leon.

As for the specific methods, we'll have to wait and see.

Before long, Losweiser walked out of the main gate of the Holy Temple, stood on the steps and looked around. When she saw Leon in the pavilion, she walked over to him.

Hearing footsteps, Leon turned his head and looked over, then raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"It's quite rare, Your Majesty the Queen, to go out in casual clothes."

Losweiser's current outfit is very casual, consisting of a white spaghetti strap dress paired with delicate sandals, revealing her cute, rounded ankles.

A warm breeze gently lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing her shapely calves beneath.

No wonder Leon was surprised. She usually dressed very formally when walking around the Holy Temple, and it was rare to see her so relaxed.

Losweiser sat down next to him, stretched out her long legs, placed her hands on her knees, stared down at the tips of her shoes, and replied calmly.

"Most of the clansmen have been dismissed, and there are hardly any people left in the Holy Temple, so I'll just dress casually."

Leon blinked. "So if you have no one else to rely on, does that mean you can't call yourself Queen anymore?"

"What? Even if I'm no longer the Queen, you're still my prisoner."

"Hey you!—"

"You're not convinced?"

Leon snorted, turned his head away, and decided not to argue with her. He muttered angrily, "I give up."

Losweiser smiled. "I've already sent Anna and the others to regroup the tribespeople. This is also a good opportunity to rebuild the Silver Dragon Sanctuary. So I probably have..."

She did a quick mental calculation and then said, "It's about a week's vacation. Since it's a vacation, there's no need to dress so formally."

Leon sat beside her, listening silently to her speak while looking down at her delicate, fair feet.

He didn't really want to be called a hentai, but the Dragon Queen's feet were indeed very beautiful.

Those feet were like the masterpiece of a sculptor, with elegant and symmetrical lines; the skin was as tender as jade, and the light pink nail polish also revealed a touch of playfulness and cuteness.

Everyone has a love for beauty.

Don't worry about which part I love, it's beautiful anyway, and it's okay to love it.

Seemingly sensing the scoundrel's gaze, Losweiser curled her toes, then suddenly lifted her leg and placed it on Leon's lap.

"Here, here, take a look, this this Queen will let you see as much as you want. If you're not satisfied with what you see, just touch it."

"Ugh! Take it away! Take it away! How can such a lewd and filthy thing be so close to a pure person like me! It's utterly morally corrupt and immoral!"

Losweiser gasped, narrowed her eyes slightly, and forced out a few words through clenched teeth.

"You are truly a gentleman, my captive."

The Queen snorted coldly, lowered her leg, and then covered it with her skirt.
