Chapter 92: Difficult Husband and Difficult Wife ( Part 2 )
Leon inhaled the familiar, pleasant scent of her body, and finally decided to surrender actively.
He gently lifted Roseweisse’s delicate face, kissing her lips.
Their lips met and parted repeatedly, like savoring each other’s taste.
After a brief teasing prelude, they deepened the kiss, engaging in a deeper exchange.
They had both lied.
The six months apart had not made them forget how to kiss each other, quite the opposite.
Because the separation had been too long, the desire for each other had only grown stronger, and during the kiss, they were even more intoxicated, unable to stop.
As the kiss deepened, Leon’s hand slowly traveled down from Roseweisse’s face.
It brushed over her pale swan-like neck, then past her slender collarbones, lingering briefly on her soft body, adding some intensity to their long-awaited reunion.
Next, he reached toward Roseweisse’s abdomen.
However, as his fingers grazed her ribcage, her body suddenly jolted, and she involuntarily groaned softly.
Leon panicked and immediately stopped, asking, “What’s wrong? Did I hurt you?”
“No…”
Roseweisse furrowed her brows slightly, “It’s the battle… After fighting for so long, of course, there are some injuries.”
She gently touched her lower rib and forced a smile, “I think I got hit by a rock when I transformed into dragon form a few days ago… Ugh… it’s still not healed.”
Seeing her in pain, it didn’t look like an injury that was just recent—this seemed like it had happened only yesterday.
Leon quickly helped Roseweisse sit on a nearby chair, letting her catch her breath.
“Was it because the girls were around, so you held it in just now?” Leon asked as he checked her injury.
“Mm…”
He lifted Roseweisse’s shirt, his fingers unintentionally grazing her warm, delicate skin, smooth and tender.
But there were many injuries.
It seemed that the past six months had been very difficult for her.
Leon furrowed his brows and gently pressed on her ribcage while asking if it hurt.
Roseweisse adjusted her shirt and softly said, “It’s fine. With the dragon clan’s self-healing ability, even without any treatment, this injury will heal in a few days.”
“But it will hurt for a while, right?”
Leon finished her sentence, then lowered her shirt, “I’ll go get some painkillers from Shelly later.”
Roseweisse didn’t try to tough it out and nodded, “Okay. So… should we go back to our room?”
“Mm.”
Roseweisse held her ribcage and slowly stood up.
Just as she was about to turn around and walk, she noticed that Leon was still sitting in the chair.
“Didn’t you finish eating?” Roseweisse asked.
“It’s not that…” He touched his thigh, his expression slightly darkened.
Roseweisse noticed his small movement and asked with concern, “Is your leg hurt?”
Leon shook his head, “Looks like the battle just now was my limit… I’ve accumulated a lot of magic power, plus the Nine Hells Gate. After dealing with those Dragon Kings, I can barely even walk now.”
If it were the old Leon, facing four Dragon Kings, it would have been a fierce battle;
And though the recent fight seemed to show that he easily wiped out the Dragon Kings, the short-term consumption of magic power and the side effects of the Nine Hells Gate on his body became evident after the battle ended.
The queen paused, then shook her head with a bitter smile. She walked over to Leon and helped him up, “I understand. You didn’t want the girls to worry, so you’ve been holding it in.”
Leon smiled helplessly and allowed Roseweisse to help him.
The couple leaned against each other, each wrapping an arm around the other’s waist, supporting each other as they left the dining room, slowly walking down the hallway.
“But if I had more magic power, I wouldn’t have to struggle this much to walk,” Leon said, “But those just now… should be the storage limit of the dragon patterns. If I tried to gather more, the dragon patterns wouldn’t absorb the magic power anymore and it would all be taken by that unknown ‘thing’ inside my body.”
Roseweisse’s thoughts stirred slightly, her lips pressed together. “I actually… have a way to help you store more magic power.”
Leon turned his head to look at her, “What way?”
The queen gave a mysterious smile, “Do you want to know?”
Seeing that mischievous expression, Leon’s heart fluttered with unease.
He swallowed nervously, stuttering, “It’s not some weird method, right…?”
“No, no, no, don’t worry, it’s not~ weird~ at all~,” Roseweisse said, “Once my injury heals, we’ll give it a try.”
“Oh… wait?! No, why ‘we’, instead of ‘I’?!”
….
One day later, we still didn’t know what Roseweisse meant by the method of storing more mana for Leon. She only said that she had injuries and it wasn’t the right time for “intense actions.”
So, they would wait until both of their wounds had healed before discussing it further.
Leon carefully pondered her words.
“Intense actions… No matter how I think about it, it doesn’t sound like a good thing…”
In the front courtyard of the Silver Dragon Temple, Leon sat under a pavilion, gazing at the bright blue sky, not a cloud in sight.
He took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, then closed his eyes, trying to empty his mind.
His body was still in a very fatigued and weak state. Even the simplest task of gathering mana caused intense burning in the magical circuits within his body.
And this was just a symptom of excessive mana consumption.
The side effects of the Nine Prison Gate were also tormenting him, with aching bones and muscles.
These side effects couldn’t be alleviated by medicine; they could only fade away gradually, bit by bit.
Leon estimated it would take at least ten days to half a month to recover.
In truth, he rarely overexerted himself in battle like he had yesterday.
But it was clear that those Dragon Kings were determined to kill him. Had he held back even a little, he wouldn’t be here now, reflecting on life in the mother dragon’s courtyard.
He would have already been resurrected in a match with Old Kang.
However, after this battle, Leon suspected the Empire would not choose to engage in confrontations with him again.
Nah bro put that Nacho sum in the hit list.
