Shut Up, Dragon! I Don't Want More Babies With You!

"But—"

"There's no 'but,' Leon. I have no reason to lie to you. Our grievances have nothing to do with disappointment."

Losweiser paused, suddenly thinking that Leon only believed himself and tended to get stuck on things.

So no matter how she explained, he probably wouldn't believe her, would he?

With that thought, Losweiser didn't continue with any grand explanations. Instead, she teased, "If you really want to know what I'm disappointed about... it's that—"

"That what?"

She looked at Leon, a smile lifting the corners of her mouth. "You haven't practiced Dragon's Might enough. Why did you only practice it once?"

"...I'll practice Dragon's Might like it's food from now on. Don't regret this!"

The couple stayed up for several nights, finally getting to know each other's strengths and weaknesses completely.

The average score on the practice tests could reach over 80. If they performed normally, their family assessment should be fine.

Actually, Losweiser didn't often stay up late. Every night after midnight, her biological clock would urge her to go to bed.

The reason she could force herself to stay up late to prepare, besides "It's all worth it for our daughter, no matter how bitter or tiring," was also...

Hearing about Leon's past dark history was too exciting.

It turned out that a human's short twenty-year life could be both brilliant and abstract.

But looking back at herself, in her over two hundred years of dragon life, apart from her childhood, almost every day had been dull and monotonous.

This dullness had permeated her entire life even more after she became the Silver Dragon Queen.

However, it seemed that at some point, a little bit of fun had entered her monotonous life.

Was it since their daughter was born?

Or since... Leon awakened?

Well, that had nothing to do with tomorrow's exam. Losweiser shook her head, pushing the thoughts away.

In short, after working overtime for a few nights, they had finally reviewed all the family assessment test questions from recent years.

Their understanding of each other had also deepened.

The night before they left for the academy, the wronged couple sat at opposite ends of the sofa.

Leon looked drained, while Losweiser appeared solemn.

The room was quiet, with only the repetitive mechanical sound of the grandfather clock.

Moonlight and a faint cool breeze flowed in through the window, and Leon couldn't help but wrap his clothes tighter.

He rubbed his slightly cold nose and glanced at Losweiser.

She leaned quietly against the sofa, supporting her forehead with one hand, her brows slightly furrowed. Besides exhaustion, she seemed to be under considerable pressure.

It was normal to feel pressure...

After all, this was a major event that concerned whether Noa could successfully enroll in Saint Hiss Academy—

Leon opened his mouth, wanting to show concern.

But he swallowed the words back.

After sitting for a while, Leon said, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back."

But before he could get up, he heard Losweiser say, "Wait."

"What is it?"

Losweiser closed her eyes and asked softly, "You worked hard these past few days."

"Mm... It was fine, I'm used to it."

"Are you tired?"

Leon shrugged slightly. "A little."

Losweiser let out a soft "Mm," then raised her hand and pointed to the bathroom in her room. "Go take a bath and relax."

Leon was taken aback. "A... bath? In your room?"

"Mm."

"No, I'm not used to bathing in someone else's room."

Especially not in this Dragon Queen's room.

Losweiser propped her face up with one hand, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed. Her tone held a hint of impatience as she urged him, "Hurry up. After you're done, you can go back."

Leon slowly got up and tiptoed into the bathroom.

He took off his clothes and turned on the hot water. The warm stream sprayed down, flowing slowly from the top of his head.

Leon braced himself against the cool tiles with one hand, unable to understand why this Dragon Queen was acting so strangely.

She insisted he bathe here for no reason.

He just didn't feel safe.

With her words falling silent, the bathroom lights instantly extinguished.

Leon's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned off the hot water.

Immediately after, a faint purple glow flickered in the dark bathroom.

"Dragon Mark? ...Hiss—This is bad!"

She really was the Dragon Queen, trying to get into his pants—she had no good intentions.

Leon fumbled in the dark for his clothes, but before he could put them on, the bathroom door suddenly burst open.

The light from the living room flooded in, illuminating a tall figure.

The figure was slender and tall, graceful and exquisite.

And on her chest, a purple light also flickered.

The figure slowly stepped in, her fair jade feet landing on the bathroom tiles.

"Losweiser...?"

Splat—

She closed the bathroom door, instantly cutting off the light.

Leon could only roughly judge her position by the faint glow of the Dragon Mark and the sound of her footsteps.

He watched as the light drew closer, finally stopping in front of him.

"Once the Dragon Marks resonate, you won't be able to escape," Losweiser said softly in the darkness.

Leon swallowed hard, "So, what's the excuse this time?"

"Excuse? I haven't thought of one yet, I'll tell you after we're done."

With that, she no longer gave Leon a chance to ask further questions. She reached out, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Her Dragon Mark gently pressed against Leon's burning chest, and her slender, flexible tail coiled around his waist without him even realizing it.

In the darkness, the sound of water gradually surged, and the friction of skin against tiles made clear sounds.

After an unknown amount of time.

Leon lay in the bathtub, his already weakened body once again completely drained.

Losweiser lay opposite him, staring blankly at the water's surface.

After a long silence, the Dragon Queen spoke softly, "I understand."

Leon tilted his head back, looking at the bathroom ceiling, and responded with despair, "Understand what?"

"I understand the reason for this time."

"I'm all ears, Queen."

"I was too stressed."

Splash—

Leon sat up abruptly, "You were stressed, fine, but why put the stress on me!"

Losweiser gathered her scattered thoughts, her expression returning to its usual cold demeanor. "There are mainly two ways to resolve stress: conduction and release. Now that I've transferred the stress to you, I've achieved release, which is perfect. And~"

The Queen slowly raised her slender, fair arms, sending ripples through the water. "You told me before that you'd won some championship. What's wrong with adding 'stress resistance champion' to your resume now?"

"You—"

"Besides, weren't you approaching this with the same mindset a few days ago?"

Leon gritted his teeth, "I need a word stronger than 'insatiably lustful' to describe you, Dragon Queen."

"I'll give you two: 'moderate stress relief' and 'work-life balance'."

Losweiser stretched her beautiful body as she spoke, sighing, "In short, I feel much better, thank you, Leon."

After their intimacy, she felt refreshed, and the stress from "preparing for the exam" these past few days had indeed been temporarily relieved.

"So, my dear Dragon Slayer, are you staying to help me relieve more stress, or are you going to wipe yourself off and go to sleep?"

Her response was the sound of splashing water as he fled, followed by a parting shot, "You just wait, Dragon Queen."

The next morning, in the front courtyard of the Sanctuary.

"Mom, why does he look like he hasn't slept all night?"

Noa asked, looking at Leon, who seemed—no, not seemed, he was indeed completely drained.

Losweiser, on the other hand, was refreshed, her complexion rosy. She greedily inhaled the fresh morning air and stretched luxuriously.

"Mom doesn't know either. Leon, did you not sleep well last night?"

"...Do you really not know if I slept well or not?" Leon grumbled through gritted teeth.

Losweiser waved her hand, "Alright, alright, perk up! We're going to take the test with Noa today."

With that, Losweiser spread her wings and transformed into her dragon form.

Leon also patted his face, forcing himself to be more alert.

The father and daughter climbed onto Losweiser's back, one after the other.

The Silver Dragon Queen flapped her wings and soared straight into the sky.

They didn't bring Muen along for this test; after all, it wasn't a trip for fun.

Muen obediently agreed to stay home and wait for Mom, Dad, and big sister to return.

The family of three then set off for Saint Hiss Academy with peace of mind.

The academy was located in the heart of the Dragon race's territory, a very safe place.

How safe, you ask?

Even if all the races joined forces and flattened one Dragon city a day, it would still take them half a year to a year to even reach the gates of Saint Hiss Academy.

Although the Dragon race had long ago split into hundreds of small tribes, they would still unite to defend against external enemies when it came to common places like Sky City or Saint Hiss Academy.

It would take a few hours to fly from the Silver Dragon Sanctuary to the academy.

After flying for some time, Leon had mostly recovered from his depleted state.

He looked up at Noa, who was sitting in front of him.

Her face was as cold as usual.

But there was a clear hint of worry and anxiety in her expression.

Leon chose his words carefully, intending to give his eldest daughter some final words of encouragement.

Of course, he didn't say anything like, "Don't feel pressured, it's okay if you don't pass."
