Instead of going straight to the temporary lodging the academy had arranged for them, the couple hurried to the student dormitories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the dorm building of the Young Dragons Division, they saw their daughters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muse was sitting on a bench, her sisters gathered around her, with Hefei also by her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing footsteps, Noa looked up and immediately smiled, calling out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, Mom are here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon and Rosvisser walked up, and Noa, Moon, and Aurora each greeted them in turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, it was Muse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hopped off the bench, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, her legs gave out and she collapsed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, Leon reacted quickly and caught his daughter in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you alright, Muse?” Leon asked in alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser also crouched down halfway, holding Muse’s small hand with care as she spoke gently,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your strength hasn’t fully recovered. Don’t move around recklessly yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know, Mom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Rosvisser’s support, Muse obediently sat back down on the bench, and Rosvisser immediately began checking her daughter’s wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, it wasn’t serious. The academy physician had already treated her, and they were only surface injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s getting late, darlings. Go back and get some sleep, you still have class tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser added, “Your father and I will stay here to keep Muse company.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noa took Moon by the hand. Since she, Moon, and Aurora were all part of the Young Dragon Division now, they were heading to the same dormitory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then we’ll go back first. Call me anytime if anything happens, Mom, Dad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright. Be careful on the way, and take care of your sisters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goodbye, Mom. Goodbye, Dad.” Moon waved her free hand sweetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora also whispered a soft goodnight, following her two older sisters back to the Young Dragon dorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon then turned to Hefei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hefei, you worked hard today. Tomorrow will come soon enough. We had some other matters tonight, that’s why we came a little later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl nodded with practiced composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, Uncle Leon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at Muse, then at Auntie Rosvisser whose eyes were filled with concern and care. After a moment of thought, Hefei said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll head back too. I’ll wait until Muse is all better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child seemed to realize that her best friend’s parents wanted some time alone with her, so she sensibly offered to return to her dormitory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon nodded, smiling as he ruffled Hefei’s hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, off you go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hefei nodded again and had just taken a few steps away when she suddenly remembered something. She stopped, turned back, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Leon, Auntie Rosvisser, Muse was really amazing today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All our classmates said her new energy power was incredible, and I think so too. But...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes lowered, then lifted again to look at Muse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two little dragon girls met each other’s gaze, Hefei’s black pupils trembling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she narrowed her eyes, smiling brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what makes me happiest, Muse, is that you showed us a new kind of courage. And I think that’s the most important thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Hefei waved her hand, turned, and ran off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after Hefei’s footsteps faded into the distance did Leon pull back his gaze and look at Muse again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the academy, he and Rosvisser had only learned that Muse had awakened a new power during the scorpion cave incident. They still didn’t know the exact details of what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon stood up, walked slowly over to the bench, and sat down beside Muse, with Rosvisser taking the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he leaned down slightly, pulling his knees up, ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) looping one arm protectively around his daughter, and naturally resting his left hand on Rosvisser’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the clear moonlight, the family of three sat quietly outside the dormitory, the night breeze brushing past, the sound of leaves rustling in the background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems you protected Hefei very well when things got dangerous,” Leon said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on the bench, Muse hugged her small legs close. Her white over-the-knee socks gleamed faintly under the moonlight. She lowered her head, staring at the tips of her shoes, and slowly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t even know how I found that much courage at the time. I just... didn’t want Hefei to get hurt. So I had to be brave, and give it everything I had.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the couple both smiled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser brushed her daughter’s chubby cheek gently with her soft fingertips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re absolutely right, Muse. You see, you really are amazing—you just hadn’t had the chance to recognize your true self until now. But now that chance has come, and you seized it tightly. You not only conquered your own fears, but you protected your friend. Dad and Mom are both so proud of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many things had happened—first when her elemental affinity couldn’t be detected, then with the Broadtail Scorpion, later the Red-Spotted Horned Beast, and even learning archery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of it, in fact, had been building up to what the Queen called “the opportunity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking free of the shackles and chains in one’s heart isn’t something done in a single day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regaining confidence and courage is even harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Muse was fortunate—she had parents and sisters who loved her deeply, and so many friends willing to support her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why, when the opportunity came, she was able to grasp it firmly instead of letting it slip away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is also because you and Dad always guided me onto the right path. Without you, I couldn’t have done it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muse spoke earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon rubbed his lips, thinking for a while, then said slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But courage and confidence are your own, Muse. No matter how hopeless the situation, they are always deep inside you. Whenever you want, you can find them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muse blinked her pretty eyes, then slowly lifted her head, gazing up at the night sky. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, Mom... you’ve always protected us by holding onto that kind of faith and willpower, haven’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her words, the couple looked at each other, then smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little girl’s mind was clever, and her way of thinking was unique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, she was a chatterbox and queen of quips. But when it came to deeper and more meaningful things, she always asked questions that even Leon and Rosvisser had to ponder seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Muse. Your dad and I have always protected you with that will. Protected our whole family. But...” Rosvisser spoke patiently: “Sometimes courage and hot-blooded will aren’t enough. As you grow, you’ll run into problems you simply can’t solve on your own. Problems far more dangerous and difficult than today’s Steel-Wing Scorpion. At those times, you’ll need to prepare, to plan, to gather those who support you. And finally...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Rosvisser gently tapped her daughter’s chest and soothed her in a soft voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she lifted her gaze toward Leon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That look carried weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon immediately understood the special meaning behind her glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rosvisser never said anything aloud to him. She lowered her eyes and continued speaking to Muse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And finally—push through the obstacle. Do you understand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muse’s eyes shone like rubies beneath the moonlight. She looked straight at Rosvisser and nodded hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I understand, Mom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser smiled gently, pinching her daughter’s cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My darling is wonderful. Mama kisses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kisses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing mother and daughter embracing, Leon smiled in comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the same time, he understood what Rosvisser’s earlier look had meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words had not been only for Muse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were also for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When faced with problems you cannot solve, prepare, plan, gather those who support you, and finally push through—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simple words, simple truth. But in Rosvisser’s voice there was both the tenderness of a mother to her daughter, and the unwavering strength of a wife who always supported her husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon knew she had taken this chance, while encouraging their daughter, to also comfort him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few could manage what Rosvisser did—flawless as a mother, as a wife, and as the Queen of the Silver Dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once again, thank you, Rosvisser.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-haired beauty smiled brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re welcome, Leon. But next time, instead of ‘thank you,’ could you say ‘I love you’ instead, hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The couple gazed into each other’s eyes, the look between them almost tangible. Simultaneously, they leaned forward, closing the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as their lips were about to touch, their daughter’s quiet voice drifted in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it. Next time Hefei brings me breakfast, I’ll tell her I love you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon & Rosvisser: ???\u003C\u002Fp>",1441,"2026-06-06T15:10:09.886Z",1,"novelbin.me","57e395921cc16dd18785b733773442ab89bdef8df8e73d1d4c2cf64be7a20731","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-888","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-886",914,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-cover.jpg"]
