'You you you you dog thing are just looking for excuses here, don't think this queen can't see through it.'
'Fine, not taking initiative, huh?'
'Then we husband and wife must review the "art of pulling and tugging".'
"Aiya, that's really a pity, I also forgot how to kiss, what a trouble oh," Rossweise said coquettishly.
Leon looked at her sitting on his lap, then looked at her action of hugging his neck.
And that seductive gaze and ambiguous tone, "This flowing set of combo moves, no matter how you look at it, doesn't seem like you forgot?"
"Sorry, husband, this is like before I only won the key rounds."
"What do you mean?"
"Only winning the key rounds, and only forgetting the key things. Ai~ look at my brain, stupid to death."
"..."
Rossweise leaned forward, her soft pair lightly pressing against Leon's chest.
"What to do, husband?~ Husband, say something~"
Leon's eye corner slightly twitched.
'Stop squeezing, mother dragon.'
'Just finished eating, going to vomit spicy!'
The couple continued their standoff and pulling, neither willing to first lose control toward the other like before.
Although rushing up directly, both good, everyone good.
But each tug and clash related to their family status, can't casually make a decision.
In the black and silver eyes reflected each other's appearance, they were so close, breathing upon each other, even able to hear the gradually speeding heartbeats.
After six months, the longing deep in their hearts had already surpassed the level of "a little separation makes reunion sweeter".
Whoosh!
The silver tail rubbed against the floor, then slowly wrapped around Leon's ankle, then up, gently wrapping his calf.
The agile tip of the tail drilled into his pants, teasing his knee hollow.
Tingling itchy, extremely sensitive.
Leon inhaled that familiar pleasant body fragrance, finally decided to actively sink.
He gently cupped Rossweise's delicate face, kissed her lips.
Lips parted and merged, as if tasting each other's flavor.
After the light tasting prelude, came a deeper level of exchange.
They both lied.
Six months didn't make them forget how to kiss each other, rather the opposite.
Because the separation was too long, the longing for each other grew stronger, kissing, they became even more immersed, unable to extricate themselves.
As the kiss heated up, Leon's palm slowly moved down from Rossweise's face.
Gliding past the fair swan neck, past the slender straight collarbone, pausing momentarily at her softness, adding a bit of fierceness to this reunion's deep kiss.
Then, he reached toward Rossweise's abdomen.
However, when his fingertips brushed past Rossweise's ribs, her body suddenly jolted sharply, and she involuntarily muffled a hum.
Leon panicked, hurriedly stopped, and asked, "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
"No..."
Rossweise frowned slightly, "In the battle... fought for so long, of course left some injuries."
She gently touched her lower ribs, forcing a smile, "Here should be from a few days ago when transforming into dragon form, got hit by a rock thrown by the enemy... hiss... not healed yet."
Seeing her hurting like this, how was this "not healed", this was like just got hit yesterday.
Leon quickly helped Rossweise to sit on a nearby chair, letting her catch her breath.
"Just now because the daughters were still around, so you kept enduring, right?", Leon asked while checking her injury.
"Mm..."
He lifted Rossweise's top, fingers inadvertently brushing against her warm skin, delicate and smooth.
But also many more wounds.
It seemed these six months, she had suffered too.
Leon's brows tightly knit, gently pressing her ribs, while asking if it hurt.
Rossweise holding up her clothes, softly said, "It's okay, with dragon race's self-healing ability, even without treatment, such wounds will heal in a few days."
"Just will hurt for a while, right?", Leon continued, then put down her clothes, "I'll go get some painkillers from Shirley for you later."
Rossweise didn't pretend to be tough, nodded, "Okay. Then... shall we go back to the room first?"
"Mm."
Rossweise clutching her ribs, slowly stood up.
But just as she was about to turn and step away, she saw Leon still sitting on the chair.
"Didn't eat enough?", Rossweise asked.
"No..." He rubbed his thigh, face looking bad.
Rossweise noticed his little movement, concernedly asked, "Leg injured?"
Leon shook his head, "Seems like the fight just now was my current limit... stored magic power for so long, plus the Nine Gates Hell, after taking down those Dragon Kings, even walking is hard now."
Facing four Dragon Kings at once, if it was the old Leon, it would also be a tough battle;
And although the battle just now looked almost like he swept through the Dragon Kings unharmed, the massive consumption of magic power in a short time, plus the side effects of Nine Gates Hell, all crept up after the battle.
The queen was stunned, then bitterly smiled, walked to Leon's side, helped up his arm, "Understand you, didn't want the daughters to worry, so kept enduring."
Leon also helplessly smiled, letting Rossweise help him up.
The couple leaned on each other's shoulders, arms around each other's waists, supporting each other out of the dining hall, slowly across the corridor.
"But if I had more magic power, I shouldn't be unable to walk."
Leon said, "But just now's amount... should be the storage limit of the dragon mark. I tried to condense more, but the dragon mark wouldn't absorb anymore, instead that unknown 'thing' in the body took it."
Rossweise's mind moved slightly, pursed her lips, "I actually... have a way to let you store more magic power."
Leon side-eyed at her, "What way?"
The queen smiled mysteriously, "Really want to know?"
Seeing her mischievous smile, General Leon felt a bit scared.
He swallowed, tremblingly asked, "Wouldn't it be something weird..."
"No no no, don't worry, not at all~ weird~"
Rossweise said, "After my injury heals, we'll try."
"Oh... huh? No, why is it not 'I', but 'we'?"
———
One day later, we still did not know what method Rossweise said could help Leon store more magic power.
She only said, now with injuries, not suitable for "large-scale intense movements".
So have to wait until both their injuries heal.
Leon carefully pondered this sentence.
"Large-scale intense movements... no matter how you think about it, doesn't seem like a good thing..."
In the front courtyard of the Silver Dragon Sanctuary, Leon sat under a pavilion, gazing at the azure sky, cloudless.
He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, closing his eyes, trying to empty his mind.
His body was still very exhausted and weak, even the simplest gathering of magic power would cause strong burning pain in his magic circuits.
And this was only a symptom of magic overexertion.
The side effects of Nine Gates Hell also tormented him, bones and muscles extremely sore.
These side effects couldn't be relieved by medicine, only slowly fade over time.
Leon estimated, at least ten days to half a month.
Actually, he rarely overdrafted himself like yesterday in battle.
But clearly, those Dragon Kings were determined to kill him, had he held back even a bit, could he still be here feeling life under the mother dragon's courtyard?
Would have gone down to fight a resurrection match with old Constantine long ago.
However, after this battle, Leon guessed, the empire probably wouldn't choose a head-on confrontation anymore.
All along, just to kill one human like him, in just one day yesterday, directly wiped out six Dragon Kings. In the past, that was half a year's achievement for General Leon. Such layoff efficiency, not only Leon himself couldn't bear it, the empire and the dragon race colluding with them surely also couldn't bear it.
Thus after this, the empire should think of other ways to deal with Leon.
As for what method, it had to be one step at a time.
Not long after, Rossweise walked out from the front gate of the sanctuary, glanced around standing on the steps, saw Leon in the pavilion, then stepped toward him.
Hearing footsteps, Leon turned his head, immediately a bit surprised raising his eyebrows.
"Really rare, Your Majesty the Queen, you actually wear casual clothes to go out."
Rossweise's current outfit was very homey, just a white camisole long dress, paired with delicate sandals, revealing her cute round ankles.
The warm wind slightly lifted the skirt, the well-balanced calves under the skirt eye-catching.
No wonder Leon was surprised, usually when walking inside and outside the sanctuary, she always dressed formally, rarely seen so relaxed.
Rossweise sat beside him, straightened her long legs, hands on her knees, eyes drooping staring at her shoe tips, lightly said,
"Most of the clansmen have been sent away, there's not many people in the sanctuary anymore, so I just dressed casually."
Leon blinked, "Then your subordinates are all gone, aren't you unable to call yourself a queen?"
"What, even if I'm not a queen, you are still my captive."
"Hey you!"
"Not convinced?"
Leon snorted, turned his head away, not arguing with her, muttered angrily, "Convinced."
Rossweise smiled, "I've already let Anna and the others start recalling the clansmen, just happen to take this chance to rebuild the Silver Dragon Sanctuary. So I have about..."
She mentally calculated, then said, "About a week's vacation. Since it's vacation, no need to dress so formally."
Leon sat side-by-side with her, listening silently while lowering his head looking at her delicate white jade feet.
He wasn't really wanting to be called hentai, but a certain mother dragon's feet really looked too good.
Those feet were like a master sculptor's masterpiece, elegant and well-proportioned; skin tender like jade fat, light pink nail polish revealing a bit of playful cuteness.
'Everyone loves beauty.'
'Don't mind which part I love, it's beautiful, loving it is fine.'
As if sensing the dog man's gaze, Rossweise curled her toes, then suddenly lifted her leg onto Leon's lap,
"Here here here, take a good look, this queen lets you look all you want. Not satisfied just touch."
"Uh uh uh! Quick, quick take it away! Quick take it away! Such obscene filthy object, how can it be so close to my pure self! Simply ritual collapse, manners lost!"
Rossweise inhaled sharply, slightly narrowed her eyes, squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, "You really are a righteous gentleman, my captive."
The queen snorted coldly, put her leg down, then covered it with her skirt.
