Shut Up Dragon! I Don't Want To Have Children With You Anymore

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Emotional Damage From Luna



"Oh, I thought Daddy really couldn't beat Mommy~"

'Not true.'

How can such a young child already know how to stab someone emotionally?

You can't take after your mom in this aspect, my dear!

Rossweise came to the starting line. "Alright, whether I can beat you or not, let's save it for later. Now let's compete in this: let's see who can run the longest."

This wasn't a speed competition—it was an endurance test.

Leon seemed to sense what Rossweise's next words would be.

"Hang in there a bit longer, Leon~"

She lowered her voice, mouthed the words to Leon in secret, "Classmate~."

Ha, as expected.

Leon also stood at the starting line.

Luna stood between the couple.

Leon bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, and tossed it into the air.

As the stone descended, a spark of electricity shot from Leon's fingertips, shattering the stone.

The family of three started running simultaneously.

After they started, the couple slowed down in unison to accommodate Luna.

The three formed a sequence: Luna was in the lead, followed by Rossweise, and Leon brought up the rear.

"Even when running, you don't tuck your tail away?" Leon asked.

"The tail helps maintain balance. For us dragons—or rather, when I sprint with full force—it's not something I need to worry about."

Rossweise replied from ahead, "So, why not consider letting your tail out too?"

"No, thanks."

"Hmph."

The training track was about 400 meters per lap.

Luna had just started practicing and stopped to rest after two laps.

This marked the real beginning of the competition between Leon and Rossweise.

This couple insisted on competing in everything.

From who their daughter loved more, to who the elder sister teased more, and even who took the initiative during "intimate discussions."

Now, even accompanying their child for a run turned into a contest.

Fine, such enthusiasm.

The silver dragon race naturally excels in speed. When racing against Rossweise, Leon held no advantage.

Not to mention, he had "submitted homework" seven times the night before.

Both "academic classes" and "physical education"—how could any normal person handle this?

But once he stood with Rossweise at the starting line, retreat was no longer an option.

One of the Dragon Slayer's creeds:

Born to fight, rest only in death!

Twenty minutes later.

Rossweise kicked Leon's shoulder. "Admit defeat?"

Leon lay spread-eagle on the track, panting with his eyes closed. "No, no."

"Not admitting? Alright, get up and keep going!"

"Another day, another day. Give me two days to practice."

Rossweise shrugged. "I can give you two years, or even two and a half if you need it."

She crouched, poking Leon's face with her tail. "Well then, dear Mr. Leon, can you perform now? I love taking baths, it makes me feel so good~"

Leon was left speechless.

"With this level of grudge-holding, you'll surely suffer a big loss someday."

"Thanks, that's just how I am."

Rossweise stood up, took off her sports jacket to reveal a sexy, revealing sports bra underneath.

She tied the jacket around her waist and turned to Luna. "Come on, Luna. Mommy will keep training with you. Daddy is too weak~."

'Mother and daughter in perfect sync? Fine, just wait!'

'Thirty years of East River, thirty years of West River—never underestimate your old man.'

———

Dinner time.

"Dad's down..."

"Open wide, Daddy, ah~"

"Ah~~"

At the dinner table, Leon looked as though his energy had been completely drained. He rested his head sideways on the table while Luna carefully fed him a spoonful of fried rice.

Rossweise, sitting nearby with her legs crossed, leisurely sipped post-meal tea. "Old bones, don't push yourself."

"It's all because of last night's 'homework.' If I hadn't worked so late, I would've beaten you today." Leon retorted.

"Oh, really? Then do you still want to keep doing 'homework' tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Leon sat bolt upright and pulled Luna into his arms. "I promised Luna we'd tell stories tonight."

Luna, holding a spoon, blinked blankly. "Daddy, when did we make this promise?"

"Just now, we did."

"Oh, alright!"

Rossweise chuckled softly, put down her teacup, and stood up. "The maids will clear the table later. Don't tell stories too late tonight. Get some rest."

"Got it, Mommy~"

Waving her hand, Rossweise left the dining room and returned to her room.

After a long day with her family, she had worked up a rare sweat. Rossweise stripped off her sports bra and pants, leaving only her undergarments, and walked barefoot into the bathroom.

Warm water cascaded over her delicate skin, washing away the day's fatigue.

After a quick shower, she wrapped herself in a towel and stepped out.

Sitting at her vanity, she began to dry her damp hair.

Her gaze unintentionally fell on the parting gift Isaa had given her from the Red Dragon Temple yesterday.

Having skipped dinner last night to "submit homework" with Leon, she hadn't had time to open it.

She spread her hair out, picked up the gift box, and opened it.

Inside was—a swimsuit?

The swimsuit was primarily silver and white, modestly designed with a lot of fabric.

So modest, in fact, that it didn't seem like something her cunning elder sister would typically give.

Logically, that mischievous red dragon should've given something like lingerie, right?

Rossweise couldn't understand but carefully stored the swimsuit in her wardrobe.

"Oh, it seems neither Noah nor Luna has ever been to the beach. Maybe we should take them someday."

Murmuring to herself, she closed the wardrobe.

Turning around, she caught sight of a figure on the balcony.

"Shirley?"

"Yes, it's me. Apologies, Your Majesty. I didn't know you had just... taken a bath, so I waited here."

Rossweise pulled her towel higher to cover the dragon markings on her chest, then headed to the balcony.

"It's fine."

She said, "Have you found Tiger Lawrence's whereabouts?"

Previously, Shirley had reported that Leon's mentor, Tiger Lawrence, seemed to have vanished without a trace.

This time, perhaps there was news.

"We've confirmed that Tiger Lawrence and his wife left the empire over a year ago."

Shirley continued, "They donated all their property to an orphanage in the empire, including their livestock farm. Except for..."

Rossweise raised an eyebrow. "Except for what?"

"Except for a donkey. Neighbors said the couple took the donkey with them when they left."

Was this donkey some kind of family mascot?

Loved it from childhood to old age?

Rossweise felt a bit speechless, even amused.

But not wanting to seem too frivolous in front of her subordinate, she coughed lightly to cover the awkwardness. "Ahem—alright, I understand. Continue the search outside the empire, and report any findings immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Thank you for your efforts."

"Not at all, Your Majesty. I'll take my leave."

With those words, the figure disappeared.

Rossweise leaned on the balcony railing, gazing into the distant mountains and forests shrouded in the night, her thoughts stirring.

"Why did Leon's mentor leave the empire?"

———

When Noah came back during her vacation, she brought a piece of news.

"Family Sports Day?"

During dinner, the family of four discussed this topic at the dining table.

Noah nodded. "Yes, the academy is hosting a family sports day. They say it's a new experiment."

"Oh, our family is really lucky. Back when they introduced the new interview process, they said it was an experiment. Now it's a family sports day," Leon complained from the side.

Leon was reminded of certain kindergartens in the empire.

They often dragged parents along to help their kids complete various tasks.

They called it "family homework," but in reality, it was just teachers not wanting to put in extra effort for the kids, dumping all the work onto the parents.

If you objected, they'd say you weren't cooperating with your child's education;

If you complied, you'd end up doing the teacher's job for them.

That's why Leon's mentor never let him attend kindergarten.

The official reason given was that Leon was a bit too old at the time and it wasn't suitable for him to attend kindergarten, as well as "the family being too poor, so it's better to prepare directly for Dragon Slayer Academy instead."

But later, Leon realized that the real reason was his mentor's laziness in dealing with kindergarten teachers and their parenting tasks, which was why he wasn't sent to kindergarten.

"A sports day, huh? When I was studying at St. Heath Academy, I participated in one too."
