Chapter 385: Childish but Cute!

"What do you mean by 'whether I can or not'? Don't you already have a good sense of that in your heart... and over there?"

Rossweise slowly turned around, extending her slender lotus-like arms to wrap around his neck, her eyes soft and glimmering, her lips curved in a faint smile.

"Think carefully about what I just said, you dummy."

"Whether I can or not... no matter how you slice it, it's still doubting me, isn't it?"

Taking advantage of Leon's brief pause, Rossweise slowly sat up, gazing into his deep black eyes.

The couple locked eyes for a moment; then Rossweise slowly shifted her gaze downward, then raised her eyes again to meet his.

That look, full of implication.

"The word 'whether'... do I really need to explain it more to you? Hm? My~ little~ lion~"

Leon's pupils shifted slightly.

'Whether...'

'Whether...'

Ding!

'Oh~ So that's what she meant.'

"Hmph, you said it yourself, just now I was only using a third of my power."

Rossweise raised an eyebrow, "Yo, baby, you can even divide your power that precisely? You actually figured out it was a third?"

"It's not figured, it's measured, it really was just a third."

"..."

She paused blankly for a moment, then understood what Leon meant.

So she wasn't the only one whose head was full of dirty talk.

Just like that saying, two people sleeping under one quilt won't turn out different.

"Alright, alright, now we're really going all the way."

As Rossweise spoke, her thumb stroked along his cheek, "Then hurry and show me, my full-power little li—gah!"

This damn guy always loved to ambush people mid-sentence.

After a brief exchange, another intense round ensued.

When passion runs deep, those talks of thirds and whatnot no longer mattered.

Just like Rossweise had just thought, enjoying it to the fullest was what mattered.

The big bed trembled lightly, the lights flickered.

Where shadows intertwined, only ambiguous, indulgent sounds remained.

———

In the early hours before dawn, the couple embraced each other, enjoying the softness and warmth of each other's bodies.

Rossweise's tail drooped weakly over the edge of the bed, her silver lashes covering her eyes. The blush on her face hadn't faded completely, her face full of fatigue.

Holding each other in silence had long become a habit.

This quiet moment was their way of letting go of any lingering shame.

Why shame?

Even though they had lived together for five years, deep down they still felt that interspecies union was a forbidden act. Of course, that forbidden element also added a bit of kink to their married life when needed.

At times like this, they would simply hold each other. No teasing, no tsundere pride, just quietly feeling each other's breath and heartbeat.

After a while, Leon brushed aside the bangs on Rossweise's forehead and gently kissed the center between her brows.

"Thanks for your hard work."

She didn't reply, just buried her head and hugged Leon even tighter.

———

It wasn't until almost noon the next day that they went to check out.

Unlike the "distance creates beauty" mindset they had when they checked in the night before, now the couple was all over each other, glued together like syrup.

The husband had his arm wrapped around his wife's slender waist; the wife leaned affectionately against her husband.

Who would've guessed that the night before, both of them had insisted they were booking two rooms? Anyone who saw that scene might've thought they were on the verge of divorce.

The receptionist was still the same young woman from the night before.

Looking at the couple's refreshed and radiant state, her years of front desk experience told her: last night must've been wildly passionate.

'And since it is already noon, either they have gone at it so hard they slept in late...'

'Or... they've gone for another round this morning—'

The receptionist shook her head and stopped herself from speculating about other people's married life.

Normally she wasn't like this.

Having worked at the front desk for so long, she'd seen all kinds of couples.

But this couple was just... strange, and odd.

Yet within that strangeness, you could truly sense the strong love they had for one another.

And in terms of looks and aura, they really did look like a match made in heaven.

It was hard not to wonder what their daily life must be like.

"Check-out complete. We look forward to your next visit," the receptionist said politely.

Rossweise nodded and walked out of the hotel lobby together with Leon.

Once they were back on the bustling streets, the two were no longer clinging to each other, just holding hands simply.

After every intense moment of intimacy, they would shed their usual stubborn facades and act like a true married couple. Holding hands, chatting, staying close.

So in conclusion, doing homework regularly helps reinforce marital affection after marriage.

That really wasn't wrong at all.

"So are we heading home directly, or...?"

"Let's go eat something first."

Honestly, Rossweise's legs were still a little wobbly.

That damn man had been too vigorous last night, wait, no, he's always vigorous every night. So much so that even her mighty dragon queen body felt a bit drained. She desperately needed some food to replenish her energy.

Ah... the queen sighed inwardly. She was already starting to miss those days when she could completely drain the so-called strongest dragon slayer.

Not like now, being turned into some cream puff by him.

Shaking her head, Rossweise stopped thinking about those ridiculous things.

She and Leon turned through a few blocks and arrived at the food street.

However, both of them had a bit of decision paralysis.

Faced with the dazzling array of restaurants, they suddenly didn't know which to choose.

"Ah~ which one should we pick? They all look delicious...", Rossweise muttered softly.

Leon was a bit stumped too.

He scratched his head, "How about we do chicken finger?"

"I don't like chicken."

"No no no—doing chicken finger means—"

As he spoke, Leon raised his hand, pointing at the surrounding restaurants one by one while muttering,

"Chi-cken-fin-ger-points-to-which-is-where-I-will-choose—OK, this one."

The Queen: "..."

'Chi... childish man!'

'But so cute.'

'Hehe : )'

'Hmm?'

'What?'

'You said this queen's heart was moved?'

'Don't talk nonsense, "cute" is an insult among dragons.'

"Alright then, this one it is."

However, just as the couple had finally picked a restaurant and were about to step inside, someone blocked their path.

Looking up, the person in front of them looked a bit familiar.

Leon looked him up and down, then remembered.

"Aren't you the host from yesterday's meeting at Twilight Tower?"

Sharp suit, neat hairstyle, white gloves, black leather shoes, this getup either meant a hotel bellhop or a high-tier servant.

And sure enough, the man introduced himself as "the servant of the Twilight Tower Master."

"That's right. A pleasure to see you both again."

The couple exchanged glances and then shook their heads slightly.

Neither of them understood why someone from the Twilight Tower would approach them again after yesterday's Dragon King secret meeting.

"Is there something you need?", Rossweise asked coldly.

"My master invites the two of you to lunch. Might I ask if you are available?"

The Tower Master of Twilight inviting them for lunch?

Could this be some kind of Trap Banquet?

After all, during yesterday's meeting, led by Alres, several Dragon Kings had clearly wanted to use the excuse of "maintaining dragon clan stability" to eliminate Constantine and take his primordial power for themselves.

According to the Thunder Dragon King Odin, such devious tricks and self-serving actions were nothing new for that group of Dragon Kings.

And as the organizer of the meeting, Twilight Tower's maste, there was a high chance he was involved too.

So now that he was sending someone to find Leon and Rossweise, it was very likely because of this.

Leon looked toward Rossweise.

Clearly, Rossweise had also guessed the same.

Their eyes met, and activated internal team voice chat.

Leon: 'What do you think? Should we go or not?'

Rossweise: 'If this really is about Constantine, I think we should go. Primordial power is no joke. If it falls into the wrong hands, the consequences could be disastrous.'

After the meeting ended yesterday, Leon had also shared his thoughts on Old Con with Rossweise.

Vicious, chatty, vengeful, violent.

But principled, he wouldn't hurt children or drag in innocent people.

Even Noah, in Constantine's eyes, had nothing to do with his revenge against Leon.

So if the primordial power was left with Constantine, at most he'd use it against Leon and the Empire;

But if someone else stole it, who knew what they'd use it for?

The former was something Leon could control and prepare for; the latter... he had no way of dealing with.

Therefore, if the Twilight Tower Master truly wanted to discuss this, then it was indeed worth attending.

"Alright, lead the way."
