Shut Up Dragon! I Don't Want To Have Children With You Anymore

[🎉 Shoutout to YHRB, Gabriel, Tiago and VS for joining patreon. Thank you very much🤗. You all made my day 🥳]

Fortune-teller A said, "Your son is naturally intelligent, a born prodigy with the Saintly Body for Reading. With some training, he is bound to become a renowned scholar."

Fortune-teller B said, "Your beloved son excels in governance and strategy. If he enters politics, he will surely achieve great things."

Fortune-teller C, however, took it to another level: "Your son is at risk of a bloody calamity next month. Transfer me 100 gold coins, and I can help you avert disaster."

The result? Master nearly flipped his stall right on the spot.

No wonder Leon harbored a bias against this industry. Charging 100 gold coins outright? You might as well rob people.

So this sort of trickery was best enjoyed as entertainment—never to be taken seriously.

Just as Leon was about to leave, he realized that Rossweise hadn't followed him.

Looking back, he saw her gazing up at the fortune-telling shop's sign and description, appearing quite intrigued.

As expected.

"Let's go in and have a look," Rossweise said. "After all, it's still a while until lunchtime, and we have nothing else to do."

When a bunny girl suggests something, why not comply?

A prisoner enjoying a good meal before execution isn't unusual!

Leon shrugged. "As you wish."

The couple stepped into the fortune-telling shop.

The atmosphere inside was as mysterious and eerie as ever, with lighting, carpets, and wall hangings that seemed deliberately designed to create an enigmatic vibe.

The shop wasn't crowded, and the couple immediately spotted a female fortune-teller sitting at the far end.

She wore a priestess hat and a black dress. All ten of her fingernails were manicured—each in a different style.

Underneath the priestess hat, her features were exquisite, though her makeup leaned heavily into the shop's aesthetic, making her appear a bit unconventional.

"Welcome, both of you. Please have a seat."

The couple sat down, facing the fortune-teller.

The fortune-teller, calm and composed, first studied Rossweise. After some thought, she nodded slightly before turning her gaze to Leon—

And shook her head.

Leon froze. "Hey, why are you shaking your head at me?"

"I can tell at a glance that you, sir—"

Leon took a sharp breath, and under the table, his hand began gathering lightning elemental energy.

If this woman directly revealed that he wasn't of the dragon race, then sorry, as a fortune-teller, you should have foreseen that today you would suffer a bloody calamity.

"—are a man of extraordinary demeanor and radiant spirit, a destined child far beyond the ordinary male dragons."

"..."

The lightning in Leon's hand flickered awkwardly for a moment. He coughed twice and lightly nudged Rossweise's shoe under the table, signaling her to smooth things over.

"Flattering words. My husband just happens to look a bit better than most; it's not as exaggerated as you say."

Rossweise smiled and asked, "May I know how we should address you?"

"Just call me Afu," the fortune-teller replied. "What aspect would you like to have divined? Marriage? Career? If you're unsure, I also offer comprehensive divination packages for you to choose from."

'Well, well. This industry keeps improving—offering even divination packages.'

Afu took out a wooden board filled with various types of fortune-telling methods: astrology, bamboo sticks, tarot cards—you name it. Of course, the prices varied as well.

Although Rossweise came for fun, she didn't want to make things too complicated. "Let's try star sign divination first. This process should be simple, right?"

"Indeed, I just need your birthdays," Afu said confidently.

"October 25th," Rossweise said.

"Oh, that makes you a Scorpio."

Afu began her explanation in earnest. "Scorpios are a star sign that lacks a sense of security but possesses keen observation skills. They are highly sensitive to changes in their surroundings. When Scorpios ask questions, they often already know the answer but want to hear others say it out loud."

Rossweise responded with a soft "oh."

Leon, however, remained skeptical about such things.

Afu continued, "Scorpio women are often cold as ice on the outside but passionate and untamed on the inside. They are bold in love and hate, pursuing their desires with a 'succeed or perish trying' mentality."

"In terms of love compatibility, Scorpios match best with Pisces and Cancer. The compatibility between these signs is excellent."

Rossweise nodded, half-understanding. "Which signs are the least compatible?"

"Leo," Afu answered.

"Got it."

Afu then turned to Leon. "Sir, your birthday?"

"August 5th."

Hearing Afu's earlier mystical explanation, Leon couldn't help but ask, "So, what's my sign?"

Afu's expression turned strange. After glancing at Rossweise, she hesitantly replied, "Sir, you're... a Leo."

"..."

Oh, now it all made sense.

No wonder they constantly found each other annoying—it was all the fault of their star signs.

The couple exchanged a glance before simultaneously looking away.

Seeing this, Afu panicked and quickly explained, "Oh, please don't take it to heart. Star sign divination is just for reference and isn't entirely accurate."

"I think it's spot on," Leon said sincerely.

Before hearing about his incompatibility with Rossweise, Leon: This stuff is just nonsense for gullible people.

After hearing about his incompatibility: This is a true master of the craft.

Afu, observing the couple's reactions, didn't know what to do. So, she offered, "As an apology, I'll give you a 30% discount on the next divination. How about that?"

Rossweise glanced at Leon and nodded. "Sure."

The discount didn't matter to her; she wasn't short on money.

She just had a feeling that the next divination might be quite "unfavorable" to Leon.

And as everyone knows, if it's unfavorable for the dragon slayer, it's beneficial to the dragon.

Divine, we must.

Afu brought out a crystal ball from under the table. "Sir, please place your hand on this crystal ball. I will establish a connection with your life and deduce your past and future."

'Wow, this is getting even more mystical.'

Leon hesitantly placed his hand on the ball.

Afu closed her eyes and began activating the crystal ball.

Leon felt nothing except that the ball was cold and had a slightly unpleasant texture.

Moments later, Afu spoke in a low voice,

"Sir... you possess immense natural leadership, with unique insights and views. You've had countless followers who admire you..."

Leon was slightly surprised,'That is actually accurate.'

"But!"

'Ah, of course, here comes the twist after the praise.'

'How else would they collect payment?'

"Sir... it seems you have a calamity awaiting you."

Leon raised an eyebrow. "A calamity?"

He instinctively glanced at Rossweise beside him.

'Other than this female dragon, what other calamity could there be?'

"Yes... I see iron bars... weeds... Ah! Sir! I know!"

Leon held his breath. "What?"

"You have a calamity involving imprisonment."

"Pfft—hahaha!"

Rossweise couldn't hold back anymore. She buried her face in her arms, laughing so hard her shoulders shook.

Leon, meanwhile, had a face full of exasperation, as if saying, 'Ma'am, you're hilarious.'

Afu, watching the couple's reaction, blinked in confusion, doubting her professional skills for the first time. "Did... did I say something wrong?"

Leon muttered through gritted teeth, "No, you're right. You're absolutely right."

Afu scratched her head. Since she was right, she decided to press on.

"Sir, would you like to break this calamity of imprisonment?"

Leon's expression darkened further.

'Next, she'd probably say, Transfer me 100 gold coins to avoid disaster, right?'

'Typical fortune-telling tactics.'

'But what if I told you that my imprisonment calamity has already passed?'

'Right now, I'm in the second phase—captivity calamity.'

"Not necessary," Leon said.

"Oh... Alright then."

Leon withdrew his hand, stood up, and nudged Rossweise's shoulder. "Stop laughing. Pay and let's go."

Rossweise nodded, suppressing her urge to burst out laughing again. She paid the fee and left the shop with Leon.

"Leon Casmodeous."

Outside, Rossweise placed a hand on Leon's shoulder, her expression serious. "You have a calamity involving imprisonment."

Leon brushed her hand off and strode quickly toward the shopping street exit.

Rossweise jogged after him, laughing and teasing, "If you need to spend money to avoid disaster, I can fund you."

"Shut up, evil dragon!"

Meanwhile, hidden nearby, Noah and Luna poked their heads out, watching their parents' retreating figures.

"Mom looks so happy," Luna said.

"Yeah, the date earlier must have been short but eventful. It's rare to see Mom this happy," Noah replied.

"Should we keep following them?"

"Of course."

"Yay~"

The two little dragon girls scurried past the fortune-telling shop's entrance.

Inside, Afu stared at her crystal ball, scratching her head. "Could the crystal ball be wrong?"

She placed her hand on the ball again, trying to re-divine the man who had just left.

This time, the result was entirely different from the previous "calamity of imprisonment."

Afu's eyes snapped open, muttering,
