Shut up, I don't want to have children with you anymore.

Leon slaughtered all of these beasts with just his physical skills.

After creating a gap, Leon rushed towards it.

The demon apes scattered and flew through the woods, chasing Leon from all directions.

This was not a simple chase, the demon apes were slowly draining Leon's strength.

"Damn...this is a bit troublesome."

Leon was aware of the tactics of this group of demon apes, but he had no way to counter them effectively.

After breaking through the encirclement three times in succession, Leon hid under a giant tree.

He slowly sat down against the tree trunk, breathing heavily.

Leon closed his eyes and quietly recovered his strength.

The heavy rain washed over his face and he was soaked all over. Part of his body's functions were used to maintain body temperature, so his energy was consumed very quickly.

Leon raised his cold hand and brushed his rain-soaked hair. He leaned against the tree trunk and looked at the overcast sky.

At this time, he had not yet left the outer border of the empire, but his physical strength was almost unable to keep up.

The howling of the demon ape was heard again in the forest.

Getting closer, getting closer...

He looked at the imperial wall in the distance, "Do you want to go back..."

The road to the dragon clan is too far and long, and the journey is extremely dangerous.

Now he just had to go back, and in less than an hour he would be back in the empire and reunited with his master and Rebecca.

Even if we can only investigate this conspiracy within the empire, it will only be a little slower...

Going back...it's easy.

But if that happened, he might never see Noah Moon and his little daughter again.

And never see...

"Roar!--"

shhhhh--

Several demon apes landed around Leon.

They looked at the prey in front of them, which was almost exhausted, and couldn't help but let out a triumphant cry.

Leon gritted his teeth and slowly stood up, holding on to the tree trunk.

But the muddy ground made him slip and he fell back.

"Roar! Woo~~~" The demon ape slapped its chest, making strange noises, as if mocking Leon.

The last bit of warmth disappeared from the dragon slayer's eyes.

He slowly stood up again and walked towards the monkey who was not knowing the danger.

......

Half an hour later, the corpses of the long-tailed demon apes almost filled the open space.

Leon, covered in blood, slumped under a tree, unable to even breathe.

The voices of imperial soldiers could be heard gradually in the distance.

Leon closed his eyes. In his short yet brilliant life of twenty-three years, he had never backed down after making a decision.

But this time, the long journey and the current crisis have already daunted him.

The rain was still falling, as if it was about to extinguish the weak flame that had supported Leon to this point today.

He rested the back of his head against the rough tree trunk and let the cold rain wash over his face.

But the next moment, the rain suddenly stopped.

But the sound of rain did not stop.

Leon was startled and slowly opened his eyes.

The silver-haired beauty stood quietly in front of him. The rain soaked her long skirt, but she used her dragon wings to shield him from the wind and rain.

They stared at each other, one high and one low, just like they had done many times before.

The flame of hope flickered in Leon's dark eyes again, and the brilliant silver light was reflected in his dark pupils.

"You...didn't you go back?"

"No, I never left."

"Rossweisse..."

"Let's go home, Leon."

Chapter 190: 192 Are you not hurt? Let me touch you!

The silver dragon flew across the sky, crossed the mountains, leaped over the rivers, left the human territory, and returned to the kingdom of dragons.

Leon lay on Rossweisse's back, listening to the air whistling past his ears and feeling the rhythm of the dragon's wings.

He quietly reached out his hand and gently stroked the dragon's back with his palm.

The icy-cold dragon scales feel very comfortable to the touch.

Leon slowly closed his eyes. At this moment, he had countless questions to ask Rossweisse, but he also knew that now was not the time.

Along the way, Rossweisse did not take the initiative to say anything to him, but just flew silently.

Just like when she sent Leon back a few days ago, the couple were silent.

However, the silence in the past represented embarrassment and awkwardness, which was an external force imposed on them by outsiders who did not know the truth.

But this time, it is different from the past.

It was as if a question that the two of them had been avoiding and denying all along had given an unexpected yet reasonable answer in a confused situation.

Although they are still unwilling to face the answer to this question, they didn’t face it before because they didn’t want to;

But the reason we are not facing it now is because we are afraid.

The strongest man among humans and the queen of silver dragons actually have things they dare not face. It would be too embarrassing to tell others about it.

After about two hours, Leon felt that Rossweisse was slowly reducing its speed and altitude.

He sat up and looked down.

Although the Silver Dragon Temple can be seen, it is still a long distance away. If Rossweisse slows down at this position, she will not be able to reach the temple.

Before Leon could ask her what she was doing, Rossweisse slowly landed on the ground.

She lowered her huge dragon body, and Leon jumped lightly from her back.

Then Rossweisse also transformed into a human form.

She was still wearing the same skirt she had worn when she saw Leon off that day, except that there were some stains of dirt on the hem.

That pretty face also looked a little tired and sleepy.

She said she never left, which means...she has been waiting for him in those woods all these days, Leon wondered.

Rossweisse didn't say anything. She just walked to a bush and sat on it. Then she flicked her fingers, waved a small dragon flame, and ignited the dry wood in front of her.

The bonfire was lit, and the flames illuminated her delicate but tired face.

"Come and warm yourself by the fire after being rained on for so long," she said.

"okay."

Leon walked over and sat on the bush next to her.

Some distance from her.

Rossweisse had no expression on her face. She just looked at Leon and then at the empty seat next to her.

it is more than words.

Leon immediately raised his butt, bent over, and took small steps towards him.

The couple sat side by side, the warm fire dispelled the coldness from their bodies, and they felt warm and comfortable.

The firewood crackled. Rossweisse held her chin with one hand and stared at the campfire silently with her eyes downcast. The firelight reflected in her silver eyes, making those pupils look like exquisite and expensive gems.

Leon pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and spoke first, "Have you... been waiting for me there?"

Rossweisse nodded. "At first I planned to wait for you for only three days. When the three days are up, I will leave regardless of whether you come back or not."

Hearing this, Leon counted the days, "But I've been back to the Empire this time... four or five days, right?"

"Well, I waited for you for two more days."

Leon's pupils moved slightly, "What if I stay in the empire for a few more days, you..."

"Before I left, I told Anna that I might be away from home with the Prince for a while, and told her not to worry and to take good care of her daughters."

Leon said "Oh" thoughtfully.

Taking every detail into consideration is indeed Rossweisse's style.

It is impossible for her to be so "willful" as to leave home for many days without making any arrangements.

However, Rossweisse's answer... didn't seem to hit the point.

Leon didn't hear the answer he really wanted to hear.

But he couldn't chase after Rossweisse and ask questions like a silly little boy who had just fallen in love.

That would make him seem childish.

As adults, there are some things that don’t need to be explained so clearly.

Rossweisse glanced at him, a faint smile on her lips.

They are already an old married couple, can Leon’s little thoughts be hidden from her?

"If you delay for two more days, I will wait for you for two more days; if you delay for ten more days, I will wait for you for ten more days; if you delay for half a year——"

Leon was stunned for a moment, “You’re just going to wait for me for half a year?”

"You have a nice idea, huh?"

Rossweisse reached out and grabbed Leon's ear. "Who has such a big face that can make this queen wait for so many days in the open air? It's already very kind of me to wait for you for such a long time. You really want me to become a husband-waiting stone, right?"

My ear was pulled and it hurts a bit.

But more of it is... happiness.

Yes, happy, it is this simple and plain adjective.

And now Leon probably understands his master's feelings back then.

At that time, although the master's personal freedom was restricted in many ways by the "N rules and regulations" set by his master's wife, and he even had to ask for permission to smoke, the master was still cheerful every day. He said that being managed by his wife was another kind of happiness in life, and you will understand it in the future.

Leon didn't know if "now" counted as the "later" that his master mentioned, but...just treat it as it is.

When Leon's ears turned slightly red, Rossweisse thought she had hurt him and immediately let go.

But after letting go, the queen discovered that it wasn't just his ears that were red.

"Hmph, idiot."

Rossweisse gently bumped his shoulder and said, "Take off your shirt."

"Hmm...Hmm?! W-what?"

Couples who are more open about their sex life will have a "safe word" to end uncomfortable experiences at critical moments;

But for this unlucky couple, not only is there no so-called safe word in their lives, but they have even derived a brand new 'starting word' as their lives go on day after day.

When you hear the opening words like "take it off", "just like that" or "huh, do you think I don't dare?", it means that tonight is another exciting day of handing in homework.

But things didn't seem to be what Leon thought.

"Take off your clothes and dry them. Otherwise, they will be very uncomfortable to wear while wet."

"Oh..."

Leon crossed his arms, pinched the corners of his clothes on both sides, and took them off.
