Chapter 517

Noa: Let's get out of here before things get any more complicated!

Xiao Guang: Okay, big sister! We can't let your best friend know that our family is actually like this!

"Helena, let's... let's go back to our room and rest. Dinner should be ready soon."

"Okay."

The Dragon girl hurriedly went upstairs, and the extremely penetrating voice behind them gradually faded away.

As for why the Silver Dragon Sanctuary suddenly turned into a musical instrument free-for-all, this story goes back to about ten minutes ago—

"Dragon Queen, I think it's necessary to give the fourth one some prenatal education."

The scoundrel, for some unknown reason, pulled out a phonograph from somewhere, found her, and offered to give her prenatal education for their fourth child.

Losweiser leaned back on the sofa, her beautiful legs crossed, her long silver tail draped naturally over the armrest.

She glanced at the phonograph, then looked at Leon, who had a serious expression.

"Are you going to play those classic human songs again?"

Leon was taken aback. "What do you mean 'again'? I've never let it go."

The Queen snorted softly, "That's strange. If you've never let it go, then which petty thief was it who would sneak into my room in the middle of the night and play music to my belly when I was pregnant with Xiao Guang?"

"... So you were awake all that time?"

"Ah... no, no. I woke up not because of the music, but because of you."

Leon was even more confused, scratching his head, "What's wrong with me?"

"After the prenatal music was finished, you weren't satisfied and sang several more songs yourself."

As Losweiser recalled the scene, she sat up straight and shivered.

"Promise me, honey, you'll do anything for me, just don't sing, okay?"

General Leon blushed. "What's wrong with my singing? Isn't it good?"

Although the Dragon Slaying Academy has never offered music classes, judging from this General exceptional talent in everything I learn, my singing shouldn't be too bad—

It must be that the Dragon Queen doesn't know how to appreciate it!

"If I really sang..."

Leon paused, carefully choosing his words, before speaking, "His singing is really just so-so—"

"It's not just anyone, honey."

Losweiser corrected her earnestly, "It's deadly."

"... Then how come you were able to pretend to be asleep back then?"

Leon clearly remembered that he had sung quite a lot when he was giving Xiaoguang prenatal education on human culture. If it was really not good, how did the Dragon Queen put up with it?

At this point, Losweiser covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Because I think... although your singing was a bit... not very good, your serious expression was quite cute, so I went along with it."

Upon hearing this, Leon blinked, then immediately became smug.

"Ah, Losweiser, so you've already fallen deeply in love with me—"

"Oh, don't get me wrong, honey, 'cute' is a derogatory term."

"..."

Leon waved his hand, no longer arguing with her about these embarrassing past events, and instead patted the gramophone next to him.

"Let bygones be bygones. But now, we must focus on prenatal education so that our fourth child can experience the wonders of this world in advance!"

86 The Gap in Art (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Passes)

Losweiser glanced at the phonograph, then stood up and walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Leon asked from behind.

The Queen replied as she changed into her outdoor slippers.

"Since you want to use music for prenatal education, you can't always rely on a phonograph, which has no artistic element."

"Are you saying that phonographs have no artistic element, or that our classic human music has no artistic element?" General Leon was very good at finding fault.

"Hmph, you idiot. Today I'll show you the taste of our Dragon Race."

Leon curled his lip. "Fine, let me see your composition, Dragon Queen."

Five minutes later, the couple arrived at the music room on the first floor of the Holy Temple.

Even though he had lived here for five or six years, Leon was not very familiar with the place.

Unlike Losweiser's private library, this music room, though usually unlocked, is almost never visited.

Even Losweiser herself rarely played with the instruments inside.

Leon expressed his understanding.

A workaholic, who devoted all his thoughts and energy to governing the tribe;

After getting married, I have to take care of my family, so I have even less time to cultivate my mind and spirit here.

Losweiser pushed open the door to the music room, and Leon followed her in.

The music room is spacious and bright, and the evening sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting its light on the various precious musical instruments.

Although it's called a music room, it actually houses many other musical instruments besides the piano.

Such as flutes, cellos, etc.

During Losweiser's long life, it wouldn't have been difficult for her to learn a few more musical instruments.

Having more skills is never a bad thing.

"The phonograph simply preserves the sound and then plays it back; in the process, the original flavor of the music will be lost to some extent."

As she spoke, Losweiser sat down at the piano, lifted the lid, and slowly stretched her arms out from the center to the sides.

The fingers press the keys one by one, and although they cannot be removed, the various notes leap out and sound very pleasant.

It sounds like a good instrument.

"But if it's played live, maybe the third baby will like it even more."

Actually, Losweiser wasn't very interested in prenatal education or anything like that.

She was very confident in the growth potential of the Dragon Race cubs, and even if they were born, it would be enough to cultivate a particular talent later.

The reason she did all this was simply to indulge her childish husband's antics for a while.

Just consider it a way to kill time, yes, that's it. The Queen thought to herself.

Seeing that Losweiser was sitting at the piano with such enthusiasm, Leon became interested, leaned closer, folded his arms around the piano, and said...

"Is His Your Majesty planning to show off his skills?"

"Uh-huh."

"Oh, I see."

"You found out again. What did you find out?"

"Playing music for your third child is just an excuse. Actually, you just want to show yourself off to the man you love, right?"

"Don't force me to smash this fine piano over your head, Leon."

Leon chuckled and gestured with his chin toward Losweiser, "Then Your Majesty, please begin your performance. I am all ears."

Losweiser stopped joking with him, lowered her head, glanced at the clean row of piano keys, and then began to play a piece.

Although I haven't played for a long time, I haven't become too rusty.

Although there were some pauses in the first few beats, Losweiser quickly regained her rhythm and gradually got into the swing of things.

As the sun sets, a silver-haired beauty sits gracefully before a piano, the blood-red sunset casting a soft halo around her.

On the piano keys, her jade-like fingers danced, flowing smoothly like two nimble butterflies swaying freely among the flowers.

The music was melodious and the tune was gentle.

Even Leon, who knew nothing about music, was deeply attracted by the beautiful piano music and became completely absorbed in it.

He leaned against the violin, his hands cupped to his chest, his index fingers gently tapping his arm in time with the rhythm of the Losweiser melody.

Before I knew it, the piece of music was finished.

"How is it? Isn't it much more elegant than your human music?" the Queen asked smugly.

"It's just so-so."

My wife's playing was really beautiful;

But the fine tradition of our Melkwy family is to be stubborn.

That's why Leon wouldn't praise her so directly.

"Tch, I think you just don't know how to appreciate things."

Losweiser said, "Then the this Queen will play another song to cleanse your rotten and old soul."

After saying that, Losweiser's fingers flew across the keyboard again, and in an instant she began to play the next beautiful piece of music.

Leon didn't say anything more and listened quietly to Losweiser playing the piano.

To be honest, watching a beautiful woman play the piano is definitely a pleasure, a real treat for the eyes and the palate.

Especially when this beautiful woman is his wife, a sense of pride, "See? My wife is amazing," will arise spontaneously.

When a man is out in public, his pride doesn't come from his wallet, it comes from his wife!

However, just as General Leon was still immersed in the beautiful music, he heard the Dragon Queen say,

"Are you just going to listen like this? When the third baby is born, he'll only be interested in my Dragon Race's music. As for your human skills... they'll probably be lost forever—oh, tsk tsk tsk."

She played the piano and talked, her face beaming with smiles.

Leon also secretly realized that something was wrong.

Losweiser is right. If she continues to play a solo, the third baby might really lose all of its human characteristics.

Leon learned a lesson from Xiaoguang's failed prenatal education back then.

This time, he was determined to have a baby who would be his!

"Dragon Queen, you wait, I'll show you right away what the difference in art is."

Losweiser suppressed a laugh, but still maintained her Queen demeanor, "Fine, I'll see what you're capable of, you big star."

Leon flung his hand away and ran quickly out of the music room.

Losweiser didn't know what he was up to, but it was definitely something that would make her happy.

She liked spending her ordinary days arguing with that idiot like this.

A short while later, Leon walked in mysteriously, carrying a bag.

He placed the bag on the piano, then unzipped it and slowly took out the items inside.

Losweiser also looked over curiously.

It was a musical instrument shaped like a flute.

No, that's not right. Only the beginning is similar to a flute; the end is more like...

Trumpet?

Losweiser had never seen such a strange little gadget before, nor had the entire Silver Dragon tribe ever seen one, so she asked,

"Where did you get this?"

"I made it myself. Sigh, your Silver Dragon Clan is really barren in the field of art, you don't even have such a high-level musical instrument."

Losweiser rolled her eyes at him. "What high-class musical instrument? I've never even seen one before."

Leon twirled the magical instrument in his hands and introduced it,

"This is something my master learned from the mysterious Eastern Continent when he was young. He then passed it on to me, telling me that it can be used for both happy and sad occasions!"
