Shut Up, Malevolent Dragon! I Don’t Want to Have Any More Children With You Vol. 1 Ch. 143

Chapter 143: The Queen’s Lightning Rod

The next day, the couple went to Sky City. Leon sat cross-legged on Rosvitha’s dragon’s back, holding the “Pregnancy Shopping List” prepared by Rosvitha last night.

Both of them were accustod to making a clear plan or a detailed list before starting sothing. For example, when they helped Noia pass the entrance test of St. Hys Academy, or when they went on a date in Sky City in “Parental Love,” they were well-prepared before starting.

This habit greatly improved their efficiency and margin of error in doing things. Therefore, Leon and Rosvitha had never had any disagreents on matters beyond their “family status.”

Leon looked at the series of items on the shopping list, most of which were nutritional supplents. So of them he had seen in the Empire, specifically for pregnant won’s nutrition.

It’s no wonder Rosvitha didn’t ask Anna and the others to buy them, after all, these supplents were obviously for pregnant won. Anna would take one look and guess that her Majesty was expecting another little princess.

As ntioned earlier, during the early stages of pregnancy, Rosvitha still wanted to keep it a secret from her subordinates to not affect the progress of their daily work. The top workaholic of the Silver Dragon Temple, was she not worthy of her reputation?

However, Rosvitha had only been pregnant for two months, did she really need so many supplents?

“Are we buying this much? What if we can’t finish them, and they go bad from being stored for too long?” Leon asked.

“Is it too much? I don’t think so. When I was pregnant with Noia and her siblings, I ate a lot more than this.”

Rosvitha paused for a mont, then added, “Maybe human pregnancy is different from dragon pregnancy? Dragons might need more nutrients.”

That made sense.

Human infants of the sa age were inferior to dragon infants in terms of intelligence and physical developnt.

Just like Noia and Muen, who were not yet two years old this year, the eldest daughter excelled in writing competitions and could handle self-defense against three opponents at once.

The younger daughter was even more impressive, with abilities in both lightning and fire elents, demonstrating a dual awakening straight away, emphasizing “I want it all.”

Human infants at around one year old were probably still struggling with whether to say “dad” or “mom.”

So, in terms of the rate of developnt after birth, it was normal for dragons to need more nutrients during pregnancy than humans.

But then again, differences in individual abilities didn’t an that humans were inferior to dragons on the battlefield.

Dragons were indeed individually powerful, but due to their reproductive thods and traditional beliefs, the overall population of their race wasn’t very large.

Cases like Leon and Rosvitha, where the first child was twins and the second child followed closely after, were extrely rare.

Moreover, the entire dragon race was divided into many tribes, lacking strong cohesion. On the other hand, humans could completely suppress dragons through sheer numbers and even seize more land from them.

At the sa ti, due to the characteristic of multiple births, humans possessed a skill that dragons didn’t:

Gacha.

Ordinary commoners were like the most basic B-grade cards, feeling slow even when used for leveling.

Normal dragon slayers were A-grade cards, they could still be brought into play after so nurturing.

Excellent dragon slayers who can hold positions in the entire dragon slayer army are considered S-grade cards.

As for soone like Leon, born with the innate Holy Dragon Body, capable of withstanding a massive stone crushing his chest before the age of ten, he was simply an unparalleled SSR god-tier pull!

If there were a few more lucky families among humans, giving birth to several SSRs like Leon, the human-dragon war of the century might end hundreds of years earlier than expected.

Well, when it cos down to it, wars between races are like this: exploiting each other’s strengths and weaknesses. After all, there are no perfect races in the world.

“What’s this Jade Dew Dragon Fruit?” Leon looked at an item on the list, sothing he had never heard of before.

“It’s a very rare supplent with the effect of nourishing the fetus and calming the mind,” Rosvitha explained.

“I understand nourishing the fetus, but… calming the mind?”

“Yeah, it’s about soothing the mood and relieving anxiety.”

“I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to control my emotions and temper for a while, so… Leon, you’d better pray we can find it in Sky City. Otherwise, you’ll be my ‘Jade Dew Dragon Fruit,” Rosvitha joked.

Leon smirked, pocketing the shopping list. “So now I’ve gone from being your captive to your punching bag?”

“Isn’t being a captive supposed to include being a punching bag in the first place?”

“Well, if this punching bag ever overheats, I’ll just take you down with , Mother Dragon!”

Boom! ——

The sound of a sonic boom echoed as Rosvitha accelerated towards Sky City.

…

Several hours later, the couple arrived in the Sky City district.

They first bought so common prenatal supplents and so loose-fitting clothes suitable for pregnant won.

The morning quickly passed, and there was only one thing left on the list that they hadn’t bought yet. It was the Jade Dew Dragon Fruit they ntioned on their way there.

Sure enough, it was a very rare supplent. Leon and Rosvitha went to several nutrition stores but couldn’t find it. The couple stood on the street, and Rosvitha scratched her temple.

“It looks like we won’t be able to buy it,” she said, pretending to be disappointed. Then, she patted Leon’s shoulder and smirked, “Well, Mr. Jade Dew Dragon Fruit, I’ll need you to be more understanding in the days to co.”

Leon shrugged off Rosvitha’s hand with annoyance. Holding the shopping list, he looked around to see if there were any other nutrition stores they might have missed.

Although Leon hadn’t personally served a pregnant woman with significant mood swings, judging from Rosvitha’s various minor temper tantrums over the past two days, he felt it would be better to find a real Jade Dew Dragon Fruit rather than letting himself be a substitute punching bag.

Unfortunately, they had already checked all the nutrition stores on the street, and none of them had the Jade Dew Dragon Fruit.

Rosvitha crossed her arms and tilted her head slightly, leaning in towards Leon’s ear. “Well, did you find it?”

Leon glanced at her, said nothing, and walked ahead on his own.

“Hey, where are you going?” Rosvitha asked.

“There’s nothing too difficult for a determined person. I will definitely find a store that sells Jade Dew Dragon Fruit today!” Leon declared confidently.

To avoid becoming the Mother Dragon’s punching bag, Leon’s desire to shop had never been so strong.

Rosvitha watched his stubborn figure and shook her head with a smile. “I’ll accompany you on this aimless wandering. Let’s just kill so ti.”

With her arms crossed, the queen followed along.

Leon checked a few more shops, not just nutrition stores but also so baby stores, asking about where to find the Jade Dew Dragon Fruit. But these ignorant shopkeepers all gave the sa unhelpful response:

“Sir, we’re not sure, but would you like to try this nutritional supplent from our store?”

If they didn’t answer the question properly and tried to sell their own products instead, they would face his wrath later.

By noon, after searching fruitlessly, Leon hadn’t even found a peel of the fruit, let alone the fruit itself.

“Sigh…”

He heard the Mother Dragon’s insincere sigh from behind him again. Then, her high heels appeared beside him.

“There’s nothing too difficult if you’re willing to give up. Leon, stop searching, and just be my punching bag. I won’t go too far. Behave, okay?”

“Don’t feed empty promises. I’ve already beco your punching bag, will I even have the right to speak later?” Leon’s mind was quick, he wouldn’t fall for her tricks.

As the couple discussed, Leon suddenly heard a voice not far away.

“New shop promotion! Ultra-rare Jade Dew Dragon Fruit, win a competition and get it for free! Sign up now!”

Leon’s eyes lit up, and he followed the sound.

At the other end of the street, a newly opened store was hosting its grand opening event.

Listening to their slogan, it seed like the event prize included the Jade Dew Dragon Fruit! Rosvitha naturally noticed it too. “Oh, looks like you’re lucky.”

Leon snorted and grabbed Rosvitha’s wrist, striding towards the new store.

“Hey, why are you so excited? It’s not free, you have to participate in the competition and get first place to win it,” Rosvitha said.

“Hmph, what’s so difficult about that? Watch as I snatch that Jade Dew Dragon Fruit!” Leon replied confidently.

Rosvitha didn’t resist his grip; she let him lead her. Whenever he encountered a competition, he would beco excited. It was evident that he was quite determined to win the titles of “champion” and “first place.”

Since they rarely went out together, she decided to let him enjoy himself today.

The couple walked over, unaware that at the corner of the street behind them, a tall figure in red was quietly observing them.
