Chapter 77

Before taking off his clothes, he leaned against the doorway, scratching his head, "You weren't peeking, were you?"

"Who would be spying on you, you idiot!"

Losweiser simply used a cushion to block her view.

A few seconds later, the sound of flowing water could be heard.

Losweiser remained vigilant throughout, constantly using a cushion to block her view.

Silver Two Leeks, Wu Shan (Eight) Qi Doctor ③ Dragon Queen, a promise is a promise!

Wrong.

He's my prisoner, what right does he have to make demands of me? I've seen every inch of him.

The decision is mine; I can watch it if I want!

Hmm... never mind.

There's really nothing to see here; I'm already tired of it!

It's not that I'm afraid!

Two little Losweiser, one black and one white, chattered incessantly on her shoulder, so Losweiser simply buried her head under the covers.

A few minutes later, the sound of water stopped, and then the waterbed trembled, releasing a pleasant scent of shower gel into the blankets.

That guy must have climbed up.

Losweiser then peeked her head out from under the covers.

She glanced at Leon sideways; thankfully, the waterbed was large enough to keep a considerable distance between them.

This is probably the Only One thing that Ischa overlooked despite all her careful planning.

She thought that preparing a super-large waterbed would be enough for the couple to do as much as they wanted.

But this only allows them to better draw a line in the middle, so that neither of them can touch the other.

As night deepened, the entire Red Dragon Sanctuary fell silent.

The unfortunate couple were lying in bed in a state of absolute lucidity, a rare occurrence.

Although it was late at night, their eyes were still wide open, staring straight at the ceiling.

Judging from their breathing, they both knew the other was still awake.

Two hours had passed since they lay down.

Leon had a premonition that if things continued like this, they wouldn't be able to fall asleep for another two hours.

So he tried to ease the awkward atmosphere between them by making small talk, "Hey."

"What."

Where's your tail?

"What?"

"Ask around, I didn't see your tail when I was lying in bed."

"It's tucked away," Losweiser said. "Dragon Race automatically tuck their tails away when they lie down or are asleep."

Leon gave a thoughtful "oh," paused, and then asked, "What if I forget? Won't I run over it?"

Loba Sanling Jiulin Qi Jiuwu Ba Siweise rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, "Do you forget to breathe when you sleep?"

"I see..."

"Um."

That concludes our short science discussion.

The two fell silent again.

The room was extremely quiet, so quiet that you could only hear each other's breathing and heartbeats.

Losweiser pulled the blanket over herself;

But Leon didn't dare to crawl completely under the covers, leaving most of his body outside.

Because the bed was so warm, and a large part of that warmth came from Losweiser's body temperature.

Moreover, in such a private and confined space as a bed, it's easy to bump into each other's arms or other parts when turning over.

Would Leon dare to move? No, he wouldn't!

Losweiser, who was next to her, tried to turn to her side to sleep.

But as soon as he made a move, the waterbed beneath him began to gurgle and make a slightly gurgling sound.

Helpless, Losweiser had no choice but to give up the idea of turning over and lie flat.

The two listened to each other's heartbeats and breathing for another half hour.

Leon suddenly threw off the covers and jumped off the waterbed.

Hearing the noise, Losweiser sat up and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Can't sleep, go for a walk."

Leon got dressed and left the room.

As he passed by the sisters' room, he pressed his ear to the door and listened. There was no sound inside; the two sisters must have been asleep.

Leon sighed, put his hands in his pockets, and walked upstairs.

He wanted to go to the rooftop to get some fresh air and calm down.

Upon reaching the Holy Temple's rooftop, Leon discovered that he wasn't the only one unable to sleep tonight.

A beautiful woman in red leans against the railing, gazing into the distance, with a bottle of red wine on the small table beside her.

Leon walked over and stood next to Ischa. "Still up so late, sis?"

Ischa glanced at Leon, then looked back at the distant mountains and forests. "Well, because I have a feeling that one of you is also having trouble sleeping."

"I doubt there are many people who can actually sleep in that room," Leon quipped.

Ischa covered her mouth and chuckled, "What? Don't you like it? I prepared it especially for the two of you."

Leon smiled without saying a word.

He glanced back at the small table and noticed that two wine glasses were prepared on it.

It seems that Ischa even planned for the rooftop chat.

"Want something to drink?" Ischa suggested.

"OK."

Ischa picked up the wine glasses, handed one to Leon, and then filled the glasses one by one.

The two gently clinked glasses and each took a sip of the fragrant wine.

"I thought it would be Little Los who came to the rooftop for some fresh air," Ischa said. "The wine I prepared was also her favorite."

Leon smiled. "Shall I go back and wake her now? She's still awake."

Ischa gave him a playful glare and said, "No need for that. Come on, do me a favor."

"Good."

The two walked to the side, Ischa kicked a cardboard box over.

Leon recognized the cardboard box; it was full of love letters that Losweiser had thrown away before.

Ischa took a few more pieces of firewood, piled them together, then raised her hand and shot a flame from her palm, igniting the firewood.

She crouched down, took a love letter from the box, and threw it into the fire.

"More than a year ago, Little Los suddenly started writing to me frequently," Ischa suddenly said.

Leon also crouched down and slowly tossed love letters into the fire.

"She said she married a low-profile dragon king in secret, and that she was pregnant with his child."

"I wrote her my blessings in the letter, but she didn't seem very happy. I could feel a kind of melancholy in her words. My sister, I know her best."

Leon stared silently at the fire, its light reflecting in his dark eyes.

A thought flickered in his mind, recalling how he had used the Blood Seduction to impregnate Losweiser, after which he had fainted.

Spending her pregnancy alone, carrying her enemy's child... it must have been an unbearable ordeal for her. (Quan)

"She always said in her letters that you weren't feeling well and always needed to sleep for very long periods of time. Even when she was pregnant, only maids took care of her, including during the two days after Mu En and Noa were born." (2)

Ischa said calmly, "You should know that twins are much more difficult to conceive and give birth to than a single child."

Leon gave a low "hmm."

Ischa's words reminded Leon that he now understood why Losweiser always seemed so gloomy and melancholic.

Besides handling all the affairs of the clan, which are physically and mentally exhausting;

That is, she also has a "sudden" family to take care of. (5)

There's no doubt she loved her children, but behind that love lay two long years of loneliness and isolation.

With no one to accompany her and no one to confide in, she could only relieve her sorrow and distress by writing letters to her the Only One sister.

"I thought she had married someone she didn't love."

Ischa said, "I married a stupid bastard who wasn't as smart as me, an irresponsible, greasy, grumpy dragon who didn't like children."⑧

As she spoke, she looked at Qi (II) III, ordered 4.9 (VII) III, and pondered towards Leon. (Chess)

Leon scratched his head. "Sis, do I look like a dragon?"

Sister, I'm not even a dragon, isn't that amazing?

"Of course you aren't, and after spending this short time together tonight, I'm even more convinced that Little Los married the right person; she really likes you."

Ischa is indeed a very shrewd person, Leon admits.

But Leon disagreed with the statement, "She really likes you."

He scratched his cheek and stammered, "Sister, what do you mean by that...?"

"Yes, the way she interacts with you is different from everyone else. You two are so relaxed and comfortable with each other. As husband and wife, you also maintain a friendship."

But is it possible that we are just sworn enemies...?

"Little Los is particularly bad at expressing her feelings. I have never seen anyone who can make her let down her guard and approach her like this. You are the second one, Leon."

Leon was taken aback. "Then who was the first one?"

"Nonsense, it's me." Ischa pointed to herself smugly.

"... All right."

Ischa burned the last love letter in her hand.

"Anyway, I'm telling you this not to put any pressure on you, I just want you to take good care of my sister. She has just gone through the loneliest two years, but she still has so many more two years to go in her life. You have to stay with her all the way."

Ischa looked up at Leon. "You're a responsible man. You know how to put my mind at ease, right?"

Leon's pupils trembled slightly, and the fire in his eyes slowly burned.

I'll stay with her forever...

Use a lifetime.

But we...

Leon still had one last love letter in his hand, and he unconsciously clenched the corner of the envelope.

Seeing Leon remain silent, Ischa frowned slightly. "What, you're not—"

"I will, sister."

Leon carefully folded the last love letter and slowly tossed it into the fire.

The letter burned, and the ashes drifted away.

"I will take good care of Losweiser, I promise."

Ischa's brow relaxed. "Hmph, kid, you better really be."
