After much thought, Leon decided to keep silent for a while.
As he had thought before, any unexpected things could happen in twenty years.
Before you figure out all the situations, silence is the best option.
Chapter 261: 69 This punch shows a loving father and a filial daughter! (Two in one)
Sure enough, as Leon expected, Orrola carried him slowly into the mountain stream and finally stopped in front of the familiar waterfall.)
Orrola flapped her wings, shaking off the water flow of the waterfall - the action was exactly the same as when Rossweisse brought him here, it was hard not to wonder if the mother dragon taught her daughter this little trick herself.
This move further confirmed Leon's guess, that is, the daughters actually knew their father's human identity.
But why didn't Orrola expose it?
Leon couldn't figure it out.
After entering the cave, Orrola transformed into a human form, and then called out to the depths of the cave, "Sister."
Although the tone was still that of a scientist, Leon could also hear some family intimacy in it.
It was this word "sister" that made Leon nervous.
As a father, he had of course imagined countless times what his daughters would look like when they grew up.
The little light beside him was not much different from the future he had imagined.
If I have to say something, it would be that even at the age of 20, he still remembers to give his old father an uppercut as soon as they meet.
It's the kind love between father and daughter that is engraved in their genes.
Then what will Noa become from the curler and the little sister who tries hard to live like an adult?
Leon was both excited and nervous.
He stared into the depths of the cave, and after a while, a tall figure walked out of the darkness.
The low-heeled boots tapped lightly on the cold stones, and the footsteps echoed rhythmically in the cave.
The girl walked out of the shadows, wearing a slim black dress. The tight pants outlined her perfect legs. Although her waist was slender, it was full of strength.
She had not very long hair, thick black with some silver highlights.
There was no expression on that face that was as exquisite as a work of art - the women of the Melkve family were very good at keeping a straight face.
She has grown taller, and her steps have become heavier and steadier. Her eyes, as sharp as a knife, are like those of a female general who has been on the battlefield for a long time. It is not an exaggeration to describe her as heroic and valiant.
"Noa..."
Leon had an indescribable feeling.
Although in his imagination of the future, Noa should indeed be so handsome and cold, because she is a natural warrior, destined to have an extraordinary life;
But when he really saw with his own eyes that the daughter he once held in his arms had become like this, he felt mixed emotions.
From a little sister pretending to be an adult to the icy-faced warrior she is today, how much suffering has she endured?
When Leon came to his senses, Noa was already standing in front of him.
The daughter grew up to be very beautiful, just like her mother.
But there is a shallow scar on this beautiful face.
Even though it was very faint and wouldn't be noticeable unless you looked closely, Leon would definitely notice even the smallest wound since his body and hair were given to him by his parents.
Just as he thought, Noah must have suffered a lot over the years.
And given her personality, she must be the one who suffers the most among the three sisters.
Leon looked into his daughter's eyes and Noa stared back.
Her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to her mother's. At first glance, she seems indifferent to everything, revealing a sense of coldness and alienation.
But once you peel away the ice on the surface, you can feel the burning emotions in their hearts.
Noa's pupils trembled slightly, and her icy face showed some movement.
She is not like Orrola who can suppress her emotions with absolute calmness. She is very mature, but she is also more dependent on her father.
For Nuoya, she hasn't seen her father for twenty years.
Now, the family member she had been thinking about was standing before her, and countless memories flooded her mind, washing over her tear glands.
Seeing his daughter's emotions fluctuate, Leon slowly raised his hand and put it to the corner of Noah's eyes, trying to wipe away the tears that were about to fall.
however--
Snapped--
Noa suddenly grabbed Leon's wrist.
The old father was stunned and blinked, "What's wrong Noah--Ugh!!"
Before he finished speaking, a jab hit Leon's abdomen.
The old father's knees suddenly became weak and his head felt dizzy.
But he still used the last bit of his waking time to poke Noa's nose, "You... your female dragon of the Melkvi family is not only good at changing faces, but also very good at... patricide..."
After saying this, General Lai’s eyes went dark, he fell backwards and fainted.
A flash of panic crossed Orrola's face, but it was fleeting.
She walked slowly to her sister's side and looked at her old father who had fainted.
"Dad just came over from the crack and hasn't recovered yet. Your punch was really not strong enough."
Said Orrola, who had knocked out his father with an uppercut a few hours ago.
Noa wiped away the tears from her eyes and adjusted her mood. "This is just the first punch. There are still three punches to go."
Orrola raised an eyebrow, did some mental calculations, and said, "Actually, it's two punches, one from my mother and one from my second sister."
"And yours?"
"I've already called."
"Oh."
Noah looked at the old man who had fainted on the ground, and a trace of apology flashed across her cold face, "Then I... did hit him too hard."
......
Leon slowly opened his eyes and saw an old wooden table in front of him.
And I was sitting on a chair.
There was a kerosene lamp on the wooden table. The flame on the lamp flickered and swayed, as if it would go out at any time.
Across the table were two filial daughters.
"Dad, you're awake." Orrola's pink eyes flashed.
Leon grinned, enduring the pain in his abdomen, glanced at his youngest daughter, then looked at his eldest daughter, "Are you angry with me, Noah?"
He could probably guess why Noa punched him as soon as they met.
Because he had clearly promised her before that the family would never be separated, but because of the space rift incident, he disappeared from their world for a full twenty years.
Logically speaking, Leon went into the space crack in order to save his family, and it was not like he left or disappeared for no reason;
But when it comes to "losing one's father", one cannot use "reason" to cover up "emotion".
It can only be analyzed from the perspective of "emotion".
Noah's punch was not to blame Leon, but to tell her father in the simplest way:
How did they get through all these years without him?
Her grievances, her longings, and all her feelings towards Leon, whether mild or extreme, were all in this punch.
Noa thought about hugging, but the emotions that a hug could express were too limited.
She did hug Leon, but not during this reunion.
"I don't know." Noa replied.
Leon was slightly startled, then he lowered his eyes, “Okay… Whether you are angry with me or not, I apologize to you.”
"Okay, I accept your apology. Although I don't know if I'm angry with you."
Matters like feelings are always vague and messy, and Noah really doesn't know whether she should be angry with Leon.
But if I can get an apology from my dad for free, why not do it?
Mom said that there are no more than five people in the world who can make your stubborn father bow his head and apologize.
"Oh...you accepted it so quickly. I thought it would take more time." Leon sighed.
"Pull? How do you pull?"
Noa leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms over her chest, and crossed her long legs - she sat in exactly the same position as her mother.
"Like you and mom did back then, without even a confession in the end?"
Leon pursed his lips, "Did your mother tell you everything about us..."
"Yeah." Noa nodded.
"It's more than just a statement. It's simply - every detail is covered, not a single word is left out. It would be no problem to publish a youth pain romance novel." Orrola added.
Leon: ...
So, that female dragon and I are actually the male and female protagonists of a youth painful romance novel?
Ox! In which romance novel do the hero and heroine have a baby before falling in love? Isn't this against the will of heaven?
"Of course, apart from your love story - ah, let's just call that awkward feeling 'love' for now, what do you think, Xiaoguang?" Noa looked at her sister.
Orrola nodded.
Obviously, the two sisters are fair to both parties in their parents' love. Dad is awkward, and mom is also awkward.
Two kinds of people cannot sleep in the same bed.
"Besides your love story, mom also told you about how you came to be together."
Noah's way of expressing herself was rather cryptic.
But as long as you are not stupid, you can understand what she means.
Leon's heart trembled. It seemed that this was true and everyone knew it.
He still kept his eyes down, choosing to remain silent.
"So, the happy family we had back then was actually fake, right? It was a lie you and mom created together."
After knowing the truth, she did not immediately worry about her bloodline, but was more concerned about this family.
"You keep saying you love mom and us, but that's all—"
"It's all true, Noah."
Leon finally spoke.
He stared at the table and said in a deep and powerful voice,
"Indeed, it was completely accidental that your mother and I got together in the beginning, and your birth was also an accident."
"It may even be like what you said, this family is a lie made up by your mother and I, everything is fake."
"but."
"Noa, Xiaoguang, my love for you is real."
"I love you and Ai Muen. You are my daughters and the most important people to me in this world."
He pursed his dry lips, rubbed his cold palms, and continued,
"You made me a father, and I really...thank you."
"Because of your birth, I have people I will protect with my life."
"Noah, you can blame me and mom for hiding the truth from you in order to maintain our family, but don't say that my love for you is fake."
"I really... love you guys so much..."
Sitting in front of them was the strongest man in the past, but now he lowered his head, lowered his voice, and said over and over again that he loved them.
