Chapter 518
Back when Noa and Mu En first held his funeral, he was completely unaware of it, thinking they were worshipping some Dragon King. So he decided to show off to his daughters and take out this instrument to perform at the funeral.
However, due to various unforeseen circumstances, Leon failed to perform and had to give up.
Now that this Dragon Queen is so arrogant and dares to God of War Eastern power, General Leon will have to give her a good battle.
Losweiser neither confirmed nor denied Leon's claim that it could be used for "both happy and sad occasions."
"What kind of instrument is that exaggerated?"
"Exaggeration? Not at all. When it's played, all other instruments pale in comparison!" Leon said with great seriousness.
Losweiser was still somewhat incredulous, and continued to stroke the piano with her head down.
"Then you should try it and see if you can make me pale in comparison."
After saying this, the Queen continued playing the piano.
The music was still melodious and pleasant to listen to.
General Leon smiled faintly, raised the instrument in his hand, put the reed in his mouth, focused his breath, and then—
A powerful melody rang out.
The sound was powerful and penetrating, instantly shattering Losweiser's piano music.
The Queen was somewhat taken aback by the sound of the strange instrument. She stopped playing and looked at Leon.
"This thing of yours... can't it be tuned? The sound is so loud."
"Cannot."
The heavy metal, ripping-out style of the music and its melody gave Losweiser a slightly tricky feeling, and also left her a little speechless.
"This is not a difference in art, it is clearly an invasion of art."
"Are you scared, Dragon Queen?"
"What's the name of that thing of yours? Starting tomorrow, I'm banning its use throughout the entire Silver Dragon Clan!"
"Hmph, this is something that not just anyone can boast about."
Leon introduced it with great pride,
"Listen carefully, this is called—a suona!"
"My third child, let's learn this from now on!"
Losweiser silently covered her face and touched her stomach.
"Baby, don't listen to your Daddy's nonsense. He's all about abstract things; we can't compete with him, okay?"
As mentioned yesterday, there's Black Myth CDK giveaway. See the pinned comment below for details (September 6, 2024).

General Leon's prenatal education plan was a bit abstract, but he was very serious about nurturing his wife's pregnancy.
A few days after the instrumental duel, Leon found a medicinal soup called 'Nourishing Spirit Soup' in a medicine book.
The process of making it is not complicated, but the Silver Dragon Sanctuary is missing a few medicinal herbs for brewing the Nourishing Spirit Soup, so Leon has to go out and buy some.
That morning, Leon packed his backpack and prepared to go out.
As soon as he stepped out of the Holy Temple, he met Noa was returning from her morning exercise.
"Good morning, Dad."
Noa had a white towel draped around her neck for wiping sweat. She blinked, noticed the backpack behind her Dad, and asked, "Dad, what are you going to do?"
"Oh, go buy some medicinal herbs and make a soup for your Mom."
"Then just let the maids go and buy it."
Leon scratched his forehead, thought for a moment, and replied.
"Noa, some things only have meaning if you do them yourself. If you're going to send the maids out to buy medicine, why don't I just have them prepare the soup and bring it to Mom as well?"
Leon held the backpack by the shoulder strap with one hand and patted Noa's head with the other.
"I wanted to do something for your Mom. I really can't stand sitting in the house all day waiting for others to serve me."
Leon could indeed have arranged for the maids to handle all of this, but what would be the point?
Anyone can make a nourishing soup, and anyone can buy medicinal herbs, but no one can compare to Leon's care and concern for Losweiser.
The mundane routine needs to be filled with warm love, and Leon doesn't find that troublesome at all.
Feeling the warmth of her father's hand, Noa nodded thoughtfully.
"A little," she said.
"Dad, wait for me a moment, I'll be right back."
After saying that, Noa quickly stepped up the stairs and ran upstairs.
Leon was a little confused, but he still obediently waited for his daughter at the door.
Noa returned shortly afterward.
She changed out of her workout clothes from her morning exercise and into her everyday clothes for going out.
The most interesting thing is that this little guy also brought a backpack.
"What are you doing, Noa?" Leon asked.
"Go with Dad to buy medicinal herbs, and then make soup for Mom."
Noa rarely showed such great interest in anything other than training and studying; she even seemed to be wagging her tail with anticipation.
Besides, Helena went home a few days ago, and Mu En and Xiao Guang also need to go back to the academy to finish the rest of their courses this semester. Leon can't just leave his eldest daughter cooped up at home alone.
He smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go and prepare this little surprise for Mom together."
Okay~
The father and daughter left the Holy Temple and went to their tribe.
Leon made a list, which included not only the medicinal herbs necessary for the Nourishing Soup, but also some other supplements, which he planned to buy during this trip.
Noa noticed that the first item on the list was an apple.
The Grand Princess scratched her head, somewhat puzzled.
"Dad, don't we have apples at home? Why did you have to come out to buy more?"
"Your mom thinks the apples at home don't taste good."
For some reason, Noa felt that although her father's answer was ordinary in content, his tone was somewhat... eerie.
It was as if they were afraid of something.
Noa didn't think too much about it and replied casually.
"But the apples at home are all imported from the south, and they are very delicious."
"..."
It would have been better if it hadn't been mentioned, because once it was brought up, General Leon felt a chill run down his spine.
Unpleasant memories flooded his mind, making him feel a little sad for a moment.
Looking back, when the Dragon Queen was pregnant with Xiao Guang, she took advantage of her pregnancy to bully Leon, throwing tantrums and acting spoiled with ease.
One night, in the middle of the night, the Dragon Queen suddenly said she wanted to eat an apple.
Leon got it for her;
After bringing it over, the Dragon Queen said she wanted to eat it peeled.
Leon peeled it for her;
After peeling it, the Dragon Queen said the apple didn't taste good.
Leon changed it for her;
After changing the apple, the Dragon Queen said again—
The Dragon Queen said nothing more, because Leon had stuffed an apple into her mouth.
Just when Leon thought the matter with the apple was over, Her Your Majesty the Queen was not about to let him off easily for her unreasonable demands.
Leon clearly remembers those days when he hated apples the most, as Losweiser always found various reasons to make him peel apples for her—especially in the middle of the night.
He refused?
Okay, fine, if you don't comply, you'll get kicked to the ground.
Does he dare to turn against him?
Great, you've turned on me! Now you're acting all cute and spoiled like a pregnant woman—who can resist that?
Having learned from such a painful lesson, Leon decided to buy one of each type of apple first, to prevent the Dragon Queen from deliberately causing trouble.
After making the purchase, Leon crossed out 'apple' from the list.
Noa stood on tiptoe and looked at the second item on her father's list.
"Jade Dew Dragon Fruit... Oh, the teacher said it is indeed a very nourishing fruit, but it is very rare, and our Silver Dragon Clan has never cultivated it."
"That was before, baby."
This time, General Leon's tone was full of pride and confidence.
Noa blinked her beautiful big eyes. "What do you mean, Dad?"
"Shortly after Xiao Guang was born, I arranged for people to secretly cultivate the Jade Dew Dragon Fruit. Now, three years have passed, and it should be ripe by now."
Upon hearing this, Noa couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Dad really had foresight!"
Foresight?
No, no, no, it's more that Leon wants to avoid the painful experiences of the past.
Years ago, in order to obtain a Jade Dew Dragon Fruit, Leon participated in a game competition in Sky City.
At that time, General Leon overcame all obstacles and defeated all rivals, arriving at the final stage of the competition with overwhelming momentum.
We were just one step away from getting the Jade Dew Dragon Fruit—
Then, he was taught a lesson by Ischa.
Although the eldest sister eventually gave the dragon fruit to the couple, she still couldn't escape a beating about having a second child.
This incident also taught Leon a lesson:
It's better to rely on yourself than on others—besides, when you ask for help, you're more likely to run into a scheming Red Dragon.
So after Xiao Guang was born, General Leon, being prepared for the worst, had already anticipated that there would be a third child, and thus arranged for people to cultivate Dragon Fruit Tree in advance.
Now that the three-year period has ended, it's time to reap the rewards!
Leon took Noa to a relatively remote part of the tribe, a place with vast land and sparse population, suitable for cultivation.
Many of the Silver Dragon Clan's crops are grown here.
"The dragon fruit nursery is just ahead, let's go over there, Noa."
"Okay, sure."
Noa was also looking forward to it. She had only seen Jade Dew Dragon Fruit in textbooks and had never seen the real thing.
I couldn't help but quicken my pace.
However, just as the father and daughter were about to reach the nursery, the ground suddenly shook violently.
Leon quickly grabbed Noa's shoulder from behind to make sure his daughter wouldn't fall.
He immediately looked around warily.
"What's going on? Has someone hacked in...?"
Before the words were finished, a group of Silver Dragon's subjects ran over from the direction of the breeding grounds.
