Shut Up, Malevolent Dragon! I Don’t Want to Have Any More Children With You Vol. 6 Ch. 72
TL Note: Was soone recently worried that the chapters were getting shorter? Looks like the author heard you))
The mory Surge Magic turned out to be a crucial tool in uncovering Xiaoxue’s origins.
And as for the silver thread of fate that Chronoz had ntioned at the end—Rosvisser had so recollection of it as well.
During the second half of her fight with Carl, he and Talos had attempted to use Xiaoxue, Aju, and innocent civilians as hostages to threaten her.
Just as Carl was about to harm Aju, Rosvisser had instinctively drawn her spear.
At that mont, she vaguely saw a silver thread connecting the tip of the spear to Carl’s chest.
That must have been the Thread of Fate that Chronoz spoke of.
And another thing she had noticed—at the ti, the situation had been too chaotic for her to aim precisely at Talos’s heart. She had simply thrown the spear toward the most fatal spot.
Yet the spear had sohow curved midair, slicing through space at an eerie angle before striking directly at Carl’s heart.
If Carl hadn’t blocked it with his staff, Rosvisser’s spear would have impaled him clean through.
After the battle, Rosvisser had asked Xiaoxue if she had manipulated the spear’s trajectory herself.
But Xiaoxue had denied it.
Now, after hearing Chronoz’s words—"invert cause and effect, reverse the heavens and earth"—it wasn’t hard to guess that Xiaoxue’s transford spear not only amplified Rosvisser’s magic power but also possessed so kind of mysterious ability.
A direct lock-on chanic?
Or sothing else entirely…?
She wasn’t sure yet, but knowing this much already was enough for now.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
There was still plenty of ti ahead to unravel Xiaoxue’s full past.
Xiaoxue slowly regained consciousness.
Noa and Aurora imdiately rushed to her bedside.
The first thing Xiaoxue saw in her blurry vision was a tuft of pink hair.
"You’re awake, Xiaoxue-jie! How are you feeling?" Aurora asked.
"My… my head hurts a little…"
Still drowsy, Xiaoxue sat up, leaned against the headboard, and rubbed her aching temples.
"But… I think I rember a lot now. About my parents and my people."
Hearing this, the father and daughters all sighed in relief.
It seed like so of Xiaoxue’s mories had returned.
Even if they couldn’t be sure whether everything had co back, this at least proved that Rosvisser’s approach was correct.
As long as they helped Xiaoxue heal from her trauma, she would gradually recover her past.
And—
Leon had also noticed sothing else.
But instead of saying it out loud, he decided to test it first.
"Xiaoxue, what did you see in your dream?" Leon asked.
"…Dad, Xiaoxue saw everything in the mory projection, so why—"
"Shhh~"
Before Aurora could finish, Noa pressed a finger to her lips, stopping her from speaking further.
Aurora blinked, confused, but obediently shut her mouth.
"…What did I see…"
Xiaoxue lowered her gaze, trying to recall.
"I dread about that night… That man with the scythe was hurting my people. He was about to kill the Chief Grandpa… but at the last mont, the Snow Angel appeared. She drove the scythe man away and saved us."
She paused, then turned her eyes toward Rosvisser, who was still asleep beside her.
"The Snow Angel… looked exactly like Rosvisser."
To Xiaoxue, the mory Surge Magic felt like a dream, so she described it as such.
But that wasn’t the main point.
The main point was—
"Xiaoxue-jie! You’re not speaking in broken sentences anymore!"
Aurora imdiately caught on to Leon’s intent.
Her dad had wanted to test whether Xiaoxue’s speech impairnt had been healed along with her mory recovery.
And from how fluidly Xiaoxue had just spoken, it seed like her speech issue was gone as well.
"Really…?"
Xiaoxue herself was stunned.
"Wow… I can talk normally again!"
"Hehe, not to brag, but I, Aurora, played a crucial role in healing both Xiaoxue-jie’s mind and body!"
The little troublemaker crossed her arms proudly and wagged her small tail in triumph.
Xiaoxue let out a soft chuckle.
"Yes, thank you, Aurora."
After a brief pause, Aurora suddenly rembered sothing and asked,
"Oh, right, Xiaoxue-jie! You said before that you felt like you’d seen sowhere before.
Now that your mory’s coming back, do you rember anything?"
Hearing this, Xiaoxue carefully examined Aurora’s soft, round face.
But after staring for a long mont—
She shook her head.
"I… don’t rember."
"Oh… I see. So it really was just a misunderstanding, then."
"Forget about whether Xiaoxue-jie saw you before or not."
A quiet voice suddenly interrupted them.
Aurora turned toward the source.
"What is it, Noa-jie?"
Noa was looking at Rosvisser, who was still trapped inside the mory world.
"Xiaoxue has been awake for a while now… so why hasn’t Mom woken up yet?"
"Emmm… huh? Wait, what? Could it be that my special hypnotic powder had a problem?"
Noa raised an eyebrow.
"Mom isn’t in danger, is she?"
"No, no, at most, she’s just sleeping a little longer."
"Then that’s fine—"
"But… since the host of the mory world is gone, Mom’s consciousness is probably going to be wandering alone for a while."
Noa froze.
"You an…?"
"For Mom, it could feel like a few hours at best, but at worst… it’s hard to say."
Noa: "?"
"‘Hard to say’?! What are we supposed to do, just leave her trapped in there for days?!"
Aurora waved her arms dramatically.
"Don’t panic, Noa-jie! I have a plan!"
"…What?"
"Hehehe~"
Aurora suddenly jumped onto Leon’s lap, grinning excitedly.
"We just need to get another host to create a new mory world and pull Mom’s consciousness into it!"
Leon folded his arms, his face completely expressionless.
That…
That sounded reasonable.
But for so reason, why did it feel so wrong…?
Noa imdiately exposed Aurora’s little sche—
"You just want to take this chance to spy on Mom while she’s inside Dad’s mory world, don’t you?"
Aurora whipped around dramatically.
Leon: So that really was your plan!
Xiaoxue: Does your family always sche against each other like this? …How interesting!
Rosvisser: Zzzzzzz…
"So basically, Mom’s consciousness won’t actually be drifting alone for several days?"
Now that her intentions had been laid bare, Aurora decided not to keep up the act and admitted honestly,
"Yeah, right now Mom is just in a deep sleep. She’ll wake up by tonight. She’s not actually trapped anywhere."
"But, but!"
Aurora suddenly switched gears.
"Dad said he’s going on a trip in a few days, right? I just wanted to take a peek into his mory world before he leaves~ Noa-jie, don’t you want to see too?"
"No."
"Are you suuuure?"
"Yes."
"Are you reaaaally, really sure~~?"
"…Okay, maybe just a little."
"Dad! Noa-jie wants to see too!"
Leon was speechless.
But in the end, he sighed and gave in to his daughters’ request.
"Fine. Aurora, Xiaoxue, go get Moon and Muse as well."
"Got it~"
Aurora dragged Xiaoxue out of the room excitedly.
After they left, Noa lowered her voice.
"They still don’t know who you really are, Dad."
After the Battle of Sky City had completely destroyed Leon’s identity, Noa had co to understand that her father was not a pureblood dragon.
She had always suspected sothing even before the truth ca out, so when she finally learned the full story, she had accepted it faster than even Leon had expected.
To her, it didn’t matter where he ca from.
He was her father.
He had loved her deeply.
And in the face of that love, racial differences simply didn’t hold any weight to Noa.
But—
That was her.
She had already had ti to process and co to terms with it.
Her younger sisters, however, might not be able to accept it so easily.
Leon had never found the right opportunity to tell them.
Now that Noa had brought it up, he instantly regretted his decision.
"Shit… I got carried away and agreed without thinking."
Noa remained much calr.
She glanced at Xiaoxue’s magic tool on the bed, then at the mory projection stone nearby. After thinking for a mont, she suggested,
"Aurora told before how the mory Recall Magic works. The mory world seen by the participants and outsiders is constructed from the host’s mories and consciousness, but since both of those are abstract and unstable, the structure depends on the host’s ntal state at the ti."
"So I was thinking—if you, Dad, don’t fall into too deep a sleep when the magic starts, you might be able to retain partial awareness and subtly tweak certain details without changing the mory itself."
"For example… emmm… oh! Like making sure that the people around you are all dragons, so that Moon and Muse won’t start questioning anything."
Hearing Noa’s idea, Leon’s eyes lit up.
"That could work. Alright, let’s do it your way."
"En. No need to be too cautious, Dad. I’ll handle things from outside."
Leon was moved to tears.
A father’s little cotton-padded jacket, indeed!
"Dad, Noa-jie! We’re back!"
Noa looked toward the door.
The little dragons rushed into the room.
"That was fast," Noa remarked.
"Of course! The mont they heard Mom was going into Dad’s mory world, the sisters abandoned their spot in the line and ca running."
Just as Aurora said, Moon rushed over with sparkling eyes, grabbing Leon’s sleeve and shaking it eagerly.
"Really, Daddy? It’s finally Mom’s turn to enter your mory world?"
Leon chuckled and ruffled her hair.
"Yeah. Looking forward to it?"
"Super excited!"
"Then let’s get started."
"Okay!"
Leon nodded, then walked over to the bed and prepared himself for the mory Recall Magic.
"Alright, ti to—wait, where’s the hypnotic powder? Oh, here it is."
Aurora picked up the small powder container, ready to put her father into deep sleep.
"I’ll do it, Aurora. I don’t trust your tiny hands. If you ss up the dose, Dad might never wake up."
Noa smoothly took the container from Aurora’s hands.
Aurora didn’t suspect anything and nodded.
"Okay, Noa-jie."
Noa walked over, dipped her fingers into the powder, and gently applied a small amount under Leon’s nose.
"I’m using less than the usual dose, so you should be able to retain enough awareness to tweak the mory world." She kept her voice low.
Leon squinted slightly and raised an eyebrow in acknowledgnt.
"Alright, it’s ready, Aurora."
Noa withdrew her hand.
Aurora imdiately activated the spell.
mory World
Rosvisser had just exited Xiaoxue’s mories and was expecting to finally get so rest.
But as the scenery gradually beca clearer, she sensed that sothing was off.
She was now standing in a school courtyard, surrounded by students walking back and forth.
However, this was not Saint Heath Academy.
She glanced down at her own attire—
A neatly tailored teacher’s outfit.
A dark-colored knee-length skirt, revealing well-proportioned legs.
Her long silver hair was elegantly tied into a high ponytail.
There were even black-rimd glasses perched on her nose.
"Whose… mory am I in…?"
She muttered to herself.
Just then, she overheard so students gossiping nearby.
"They’re confessing! That third-year senior Elucia is finally going to confess to that guy!"
"I’m shaking…! I couldn’t get close to him, so I settled for watching from afar, but now she’s making a move!"
"Sa! He’s rejected so many girls before, but there’s no way he’ll reject Elucia-senpai!"
"…"
Rosvisser watched their excited backs as more and more students ran toward so unknown commotion.
She blinked, curiosity sparking in her mind.
"…Might as well take a look."
The Queen stepped forward, heading toward the scene.
