Shut Up, Evil Dragon, I Don't Want to Have Children with You Again — Chapter 6

Near the side gate, Leon slipped into a patch of bushes and secretly observed the situation outside.

Four Dragon Race guards stood watch at the side gate. It was utterly impossible for Leon to get out through there.

Was his grand escape plan really going to end so soon?

Think of something, Leon.

Use your brain.

Think about what that old man, Master, would do in this situation.

Leon froze. Forget it. Better not think about it.

Because that old man would definitely choose the most primitive and humiliating method:

Crawl through a dog hole.

But Leon did not want to crawl through a dog hole because it was humiliating. This was the Dragon Race's territory, damn it. Dragons did not keep dogs as pets, much less leave one beside the gate for a dog—

Out of the corner of his eye, Leon happened to spot a hole nearby.

"A... dog hole."

No, it was not a dog hole.

It was much larger than an ordinary dog hole.

Leon slightly straightened up and measured it. He discovered that the hole seemed tailor-made for him!

He did not even need to kneel and crawl through it. He could simply stand upright and walk through.

Leon's eyes lit up. "When luck comes, nothing can stop it!"

Excited, he passed through the hole and successfully escaped the Silver Dragon Sanctuary.

The process had gone so smoothly that it almost felt as if someone had been helping him in secret.

After escaping, Leon headed straight for the deep mountains ahead.

He had to get into the mountains before nightfall. That way, Losweiser would have a harder time finding him.

What Leon did not know was that Losweiser had watched all of his actions from the Holy Temple rooftop.

Little Mu'en leaned over the railing and pointed at Leon's distant back. "Mother, look! Daddy runs so fast! He's amazing!"

"Mhm, I saw. He is quite amazing."

"But didn't Daddy suspect anything? He escaped so smoothly only because you did it on purpose, Mother."

"He only wants freedom. What did he do wrong? He has only just woken up, so it is normal for his mind not to be working properly."

"Um... then when are you going to bring Daddy back, Mother?" Mu En blinked her bright, watery eyes.

Leon thought Mu En's Dragon Race traits were quite obvious, and that was true.

But her lively eyes resembled those of a human more.

They were gentle and warm, unlike Losweiser's dragon eyes, which carried an intense sense of oppression and aggression.

Losweiser slowly crouched down, raised her index finger, and gently pressed it against Mu En's lips. "You cannot use words like 'bring him back' when talking about Daddy. It is very rude."

Mu En tilted her head. "Then what should I say?"

Losweiser gave a soft, amused snort, then said with a serious expression,

"Capture him and bring him back."

Late at night, Leon's stamina was completely depleted. He arrived by a small river and began replenishing his strength.

He first downed a bottle of nutrient potion, then wolfed down some biscuits.

After that, he crouched by the river and scooped water into his mouth with his hands, quenching his thirst.

After eating and drinking his fill, Leon sat where he was and quietly waited for his strength to recover.

He looked across the river. Once he crossed it and passed over two more mountains, he would be close to the border of human territory.

Once he got there, his escape plan would be half successful.

And now that he had relaxed a little, Leon could not help but wonder why his escape had gone so smoothly.

Ever since leaving that room, he had encountered almost no resistance.

If the Dragon Race guards had always been this lax, he and his Dragon Slayer Squad would not have been unable to break through after attacking for so long two years ago.

What exactly was going on—

"Rustle—"

As he pondered, faint footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.

Leon sprang to his feet and turned around warily.

A tall, slender figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

"You really can run, Leon."

The contemptuous, faintly mocking tone, along with that familiar voice, made Leon's heart sink.

"Losweiser..."

"Our daughter misses you. She asked me to bring you back."

"I'm not going back with you!"

Losweiser smiled faintly and stepped completely out of the shadows, standing before Leon.

Her posture was elegant and her expression languid, forming a sharp contrast with Leon's tense appearance.

She looked into Leon's pitch-black eyes and said lazily, "Then where do you want to go? Back to the Empire?"

As she spoke, Losweiser reached out and lightly poked Leon in the chest. "Do not forget, Dragon Slayer Hero, my mark is already on your chest. You can no longer return to the Empire as a Dragon Slayer. Do you understand?"

With a smack, Leon knocked away Losweiser's hand and backed up two steps. He blurted out, "Then I'll start over and live as an ordinary person. Anything is better than being tortured by you here."

"Tch. You do not know what is good for you. Fine. Since you want to go home so badly, I will grant your wish."

"W-What?"

The moment she finished speaking, a pair of Dragon Wings suddenly spread from Losweiser's back.

Their wingspan stretched over twenty meters. With a gentle flap, they kicked up a cloud of dust.

Leon shielded his eyes and instinctively went on guard.

Then Losweiser folded her wings around herself, enveloping her body.

After one second of silence, a soaring Dragon Roar pierced the sky.

Immediately afterward, a Silver Dragon Queen stood before Leon.

Her entire body was covered in scales, her Dragon Breath was heavy, her dragon eyes imposing, and her massive body stood several stories tall.

This was Silver Dragon Queen Lothwiser's Dragon form.

Mighty, sacred, solemn.

Simply standing before her, Leon could feel the overwhelming pressure radiating from her.

Losweiser slowly lowered her dragon head and brought it close to Leon.

Those vertical dragon pupils were like life-sized mirrors, reflecting Leon's image.

Leon could not help swallowing. On impulse, he said,

"Losweiser... you are not planning to ride me in that form, are you? Let me tell you, I cannot turn into a dragon. If you sit on me, I'll turn into a pile of meat on the spot."

Losweiser said nothing. She merely opened her mouth slightly, exposing her sharp teeth as she moved closer to Leon bit by bit.

Leon seemed to realize something as well. He forced himself to calm down, no longer retreating or cracking bad jokes.

He faced Losweiser directly.

"Are you finally going to kill me, Your Majesty the Queen? I've been waiting for this."

Losweiser moved closer and closer.

Leon slowly spread his arms, then closed his eyes.

But to his surprise, Losweiser did not intend to kill or eat him.

She merely picked Leon up by the collar, then tossed him onto her back with a tilt of her head.

Then Losweiser flapped her wings, stirring up a violent gale nearby.

Her enormous body slowly left the ground and shot into the boundless night sky.

Leon clung tightly to Losweiser's back and cautiously poked his head up to look ahead.

He patted the scales on Losweiser's back. "Where exactly are you taking me?"

"To the home you have been thinking about day and night—the Empire."

Losweiser flew very fast in her dragon form.

Leon lay on her back as the air howled past his ears. His already weakened body could not withstand such speed, and shortly after takeoff, he began to struggle to breathe.

But Losweiser seemed to notice as well. Before Leon could pass out, she placed a layer of Magic Shield around him.

Only then did Leon feel a little more comfortable.

"Heh... humans really are weak." The Silver Dragon Queen beneath him mocked him without mercy.

Normally, Leon would have retorted to Losweiser's contempt no matter what.

But his body was in extreme discomfort right now, so he could only let it go.

After recovering a little, Leon asked, "What are you taking me back to the Empire for?"

"Don't you miss home? I'm letting you have a good look at it."

Have a good look at it.

For some reason, Leon felt that those simple words concealed Losweiser's malicious intentions.

But he was now in a hopeless situation with no way up to heaven and no way down to earth. He could only let Losweiser obediently fly him toward the Empire.

In truth, Leon could roughly guess what Losweiser wanted to do.

She would probably make him gaze at the Empire from far away. He could only look but could not return. For someone separated from his homeland, that feeling was extremely painful.

Leon had mentally prepared himself for it.

He had already expected humiliation;

But if he could truly catch a glimpse of the homeland he had been away from for two years, then enduring a little grievance would not matter.

After entering human territory, Losweiser activated invisibility magic and continued flying toward the Empire.

Even at her speed, flying from the Silver Dragon Sanctuary to the Empire took more than three hours.

Leon had previously gathered information on Silver Dragon Queen Lothwiser. She was a speed-focused, agile Dragon Race member. If it had been another dragon or Dragon subspecies, the journey would have taken at least six hours.

This was also why the Dragon Race did not dare casually fly into human territory to fight. They could easily break through the border defenses, but getting in was easy while getting out was difficult.

Thus, for many years, both sides had only fought small-scale battles along their respective borders.

Two years ago, Leon's Dragon Slayer Squad had been pressured by all sides into launching an attack on the Silver Dragon Sanctuary.

It had to be said that his team truly was miraculous. They had actually come close to reaching the heart of the Holy Temple.

But at the final moment, Leon was betrayed by a villain, which was how he became Losweiser's prisoner of war.

Leon did not know who had stabbed him in the back, but if he ever successfully escaped back to the Empire, he would definitely drag that bastard out.

Then—

He would send him to one of the Empire's male escort establishments and let rich aunties in their forties and older give him a brutal "iron pestle ground into a needle," so he could experience the suffering Leon had endured.

Leon shook his head, pulled back his thoughts, and stopped dwelling on such nonsense.

Throughout the flight to the Empire, Losweiser did not say another word to him.
