"Sister, Xiaoguang, you are finally back!"

"What did you gain this time?"

"Mom is still the same. I have been insisting on chatting with her."

"Sister, I want to eat fried steak. Can you make one for me later... Dad?!"

Chapter 263: 71 Waiting for You in the Real Future (Three in One)

Mu En is the one who can't hide his thoughts and emotions the most. It has always been like this since he was a child.

The moment she saw Leon, she did not suppress her emotions like her sister Xiaoguang, but calmly proved her identity;

She didn't just go up and punch her old father like her elder sister did.

The way she expresses her feelings is always simple and sincere.

Mu En threw herself into the man's arms with almost all her strength, and her tears flowed like a flood that could not be stopped.

The contagion of emotions is like a bomb, and Moon is the fuse that detonates the bomb.

Looking at the father and daughter hugging and crying after twenty years, Orrola lowered her head, took off her glasses, and silently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes;

Noa put her hands in her shirt pockets, bit her lips, her pupils flickered, and finally turned her head away.

Leon gently touched Mu En's hair, just like he did when they were children.

Her ahoge is still there, and her facial features are as delicate as Noah's now. Although the two sisters have the same face, Noah looks like a beautiful and mature queen, while Mu En looks more like a girl next door.

Moon did not cut her hair short like Noa.

She had long hair, just like Rossweisse's hair that was as bright as the galaxy.

After crying for a while in her father's arms, Mu En retreated sobbing, and the aho-hair on her head swayed in the rhythm of her sniffles.

Leon smiled and patted Mu En's shoulder, "You have become more beautiful, Mu En."

"Dad, you haven't changed much. You're still the same as you were 20 years ago."

The pink-haired funny guy at the side calmed down, put on his glasses, and interrupted, "Dad, why do you only praise my second sister for becoming prettier? Don't you praise my eldest sister and me for becoming prettier?"

"Ah, this..." Leon could tell that she was adding fuel to the fire.

"Moon and I are twins, so praising her is the same as praising me." Noa leaned against the stone wall, seriously pretending to be a cool sister, "So he didn't praise anyone except you, Xiaoguang."

The scientist was stunned. What the elder sister said made sense.

So, the first one who fanned the flames was Hong Wen. "Well, you old bastard! It seems that just an uppercut can't arouse your love for my little daughter, right?"

Leon scratched his hair and smiled, and had to make up for what he had just said, "You are both beautiful. I fainted when I first saw you two, and I didn't have time to praise you."

Mu En blinked his beautiful big eyes and looked at Leon, “Dad, why did you faint?”

"..."

Baby, you still like to ask questions like you did back then.

"Nothing, I just fainted because I was a little tired."

Leon told a lie.

Being knocked unconscious by two daughters...it's better not to spread this kind of thing.

However, Leon was still relieved that Mu En did not punch him right away like her sister and younger sister did.

See? This is a real little cotton-padded jacket.

Those two pure thorn armors.

"Okay, Dad, next, it's time to meet her."

Leon suppressed the smile on his face and turned serious.

He knew who Orrola was referring to.

Leon nodded, "Okay."

"Mom is in the innermost room, let's go."

The three sisters led the way, and Leon followed behind them.

It is actually not far from the entrance to the innermost room. After all, it is just an underground space. The area is not very large, just enough for the daily living of one or two people.

But in these short few steps, Leon felt heavier with every step.

Even though he was so close to Rossweisse, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart was growing stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, he recalled what Mu En said through the door when he and the two sisters entered the underground space just now:

"Mom is still the same. I always insist on chatting with her."

What does same old thing mean?

Why use such a weird expression as "chat with her"?

What happened to that stupid dragon...

There were too many questions in his mind, like a mountain that was about to crush him.

Leon tried his best to regulate his breathing and relax himself.

"arrive."

The three sisters stopped in front of a stone gate.

This time the stone door was not an illusion magic. Orrola raised her hand and turned the hidden mechanism on the wall, and the stone door slowly opened to both sides.

Behind the door was a small room with torches lit on the walls on both sides of the room.

In the center of the room, there is a chair.

Right in front of the chair, there was a two-meter-long piece of...crystal?

The light at the door was dim, and Leon couldn't see more specific details.

However, when his daughters brought him into the room and he saw the crystal clearly, he was stunned as if he was struck by lightning.

In the crystal, the silver-haired beauty closed her eyes slightly, folded her hands on her abdomen, and a photo was pressed under her palms.

She was very quiet, as quiet as if she was asleep.

But who would sleep in this weird crystal for no reason? !

The uneasiness in his heart finally exploded and instantly invaded Leon's whole body.

Leon just felt cold all over, and his spine seemed unable to support the weight of his body and would collapse at any time.

He stared at his wife in the crystal with his eyes wide open. He opened his mouth, but the countless words were stuck in his throat like a stone.

I can't swallow it, I can't speak it.

Almost suffocating.

Leon stretched out his hand, his palm shaking uncontrollably.

It took all his strength just to place his palm on the crystal.

The crystal was cold, just like his gradually cooling heart.

"Rossweisse... Rossweisse..."

His voice was also trembling.

Noah walked forward, looked at her sleeping mother, and said slowly,

"In order to prevent the disaster, you entered the space crack alone and disappeared without a trace. No one knows whether you are still alive."

"After that, my mother became listless and depressed, relying on alcohol to numb herself every day."

"Looking at my mother like that reminded me of when my mother gave birth to me and Mu En. She was also so distraught and often stared at you in a coma."

"But this time, it's different."

"She no longer has anyone to stare at in a daze, and she doesn't know if this long wait will ever end."

"No one can understand the sadness and grief that mom feels when she loses you, Anna said. Without you, she becomes the loneliest king on the throne."

Noa calmly told the truth of everything. For this moment, she had been practicing these words in her heart every day for the past twenty years.

Just to wait for Leon to show up and then tell him everything word for word.

"Later, my mother stopped drinking and returned to work."

"We thought she had gotten over it, but that wasn't the case."

"She worked like crazy, slept less than six hours a week, didn't wear makeup, didn't do anything diplomatic, didn't talk to Aunt Isa, and rejected all outside influences on her."

"That's when we realized that she not only failed to adjust herself, but got deeper and deeper into it. Alcohol was no longer effective for her, and she could only distract herself by working frantically."

When she said this, Noah paused and turned to look at Leon.

The man's face was already full of regret and self-blame.

He was about to collapse, so Noah quickly slowed down her narration and brought up another matter.

"Do you know why I tried so hard to make myself stronger when I was little?"

Leon also looked at her and shook his head.

"For you."

Noa said, "I thought that only if I became stronger, I would not let you leave us, and I would not let mom show that sad expression again. But in the end, neither of these two wishes came true."

"You disappeared into the cracks in space. Mommy has been crying all day long."

"Growing up, my biggest fear was the fall apart of this family, even if it was fake."

"But like you said, the facade of home may be a lie, but the love between family members is incredibly real."

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly, as if she was adjusting her emotions.

"In the sixth month since you disappeared, the Silver Dragon Clan was attacked again."

"Two dragon kings, plus a human named Nacho Salaman, attacked us day and night."

"Aunt Isa is also under siege and unable to provide support."

"In the end, my mother killed one of the dragon kings, but she was so exhausted that she was no match for the other one."

"But miraculously, she burst out with incredible strength at the last moment and annihilated the careless Dragon King in one fell swoop."

"However, that move was not the energy of the Heart-Protecting Dragon Scale that exploded. Mom did not die, but she was too weak to get out of bed."

"She realized that this would not be the last time the Empire and the Dragon Clan would join forces to exterminate the Silver Dragon. However, as the Dragon King, she was no longer able to fight, and there was no one in the clan who could inherit the throne."

"So, mom disbanded the tribe and asked the people to flee in all directions. Only in this way could most people survive. But Anna and Shirley didn't leave. They said they would stay with mom until the last moment."

"When mom was bedridden, she told us sisters the story between you and her, including how you met, got to know each other, and finally... fell in love."

"Mom said that she didn't quite understand what love between men and women was, but she felt that she should be in love with you."

"She said she would wait for you until you came back to this house, until you told her in person that you loved her."

"She wants to hear your confession, a face-to-face confession, not some life-or-death confession of true feelings."

"But..."

Noah reached out and gently touched the crystal.

"She didn't wait. The sun and the moon alternated in her window, but you, whom she longed for, never came back. The power of the move that killed the enemy did not come from the heart-protecting dragon scales. It was just a miracle created by a mother when she was dying."

"And the price of miracles is to fall into a deep sleep."

"Mom's last words to us were that we must live no matter what until our father comes back."

"Because she believes that as long as you are here, everything will change."

"Later, my great-grandmother came back and created this crystal for my mother. The crystal can ensure my mother's body functions. As long as my mother wakes up and uses a little bit of strength, the crystal can be broken from the inside."

"Of course, it is also possible to use specific magic instructions externally."

"My great-grandmother said that even though my mother was in a deep sleep, she should be able to hear our voices."

"So Mu En has been talking to her mother. She doesn't want her mother to be alone and trapped in the dream of missing you."

"For the past twenty years, my great-grandmother and Aunt Isa have been trying to find a way to help my mother recover. And we have been waiting for you, trying to find another way to change everything."

Moon moved the only chair in the room behind Leon, then pulled his sleeve and motioned for him to sit down.
