Vol. 1 Ch. 83

The next morning, the family of four set off for the luxurious seven-day hot spring tour destination – the Flowing Cloud Valley.

From the Silver Dragon Temple to the Flowing Cloud Valley, even if Rosvitha flew at full speed, it would still take at least six hours.

The journey was too long, and the children might find it a bit difficult.

So, they rested in the Sky City for a layover yesterday, bought some swimsuits, and had a celebratory banquet.

The Flowing Cloud Valley is a sacred place for the dragon race. It is said that the hot springs here not only relieve fatigue and soothe the mood but also nourish the body and cleanse the soul.

Hey, as someone who slays dragons, coming to your dragon race’s sacred place to cleanse the soul, isn’t that a bit of a hellish joke?

But if this hot spring really can nourish the bodies of the dragon race, hopefully, it can also heal the human body a little. Then it wouldn’t be for naught to come here.

Moreover, the Flowing Cloud Valley is not a place one can easily go to just with money. Only dragon king-level figures with power and status in various dragon race branches can apply.

Rosvitha naturally meets the application requirements, but that can only be for her alone.

This time, it was thanks to St. Hys Academy’s guarantee that they managed to secure the opportunity for the whole family to go on the luxurious seven-day hot spring tour. So, although the reward for second place in the school sports competition was some magical grimoire, from a practical perspective, the luxurious seven-day hot spring tour at Flowing Cloud Valley was truly a rare treat.

Of course, the price to pay was Leon’s even rarer seven-day vacation.

After several hours of flying, the family of four finally arrived at Flowing Cloud Valley.

From the outside, Flowing Cloud Valley was shrouded in thick mist, with an ethereal atmosphere. A waterfall cascaded down from the top of the valley, surrounded by lush vegetation, countless flowers, birds, insects, and various animals.

To say it was a paradise on Earth – or perhaps a paradise among dragons? – would not be an exaggeration.

There weren’t many dragons coming and going around the valley. The entrance to the entire valley was unusually quiet, with only faint footsteps and the distant sound of the waterfall audible, exuding a sense of tranquility reminiscent of leisurely clouds and wild cranes.

Noia and Muen looked at the spectacular sight of the misty valley in front of them, both wide-eyed with astonishment. However, because the surroundings were too quiet, they didn’t dare to make much noise, only whispering quietly to each other.

After all, this was a “VIP membership-style” consumption place, where even having money didn’t guarantee entry, so naturally, there were far fewer first-class merits available, Leon thought.

Passing through the thick fog, what came into view was a castle grander than the Silver Dragon Temple, with its majestic layout and ancient architectural style. Even top craftsmen would find it hard not to praise.

Various dragon subspecies, whose names Leon couldn’t even call out, circled overhead the castle, occasionally accompanied by a few roe deer running past them.

On the nearby lawn, some young dragons played together, with many squirrels cautiously watching from the side or waiting for feeding.

“Why aren’t you thinking about your first-class merits now?” Rosvitha asked with a smile.

“Tch, even I occasionally need a break.”

Indeed, the breathtaking scenery could temporarily make everyone forget their irritations and obsessions.

Coming here, there were only two purposes: to relax and to enjoy.

The family arrived at the castle’s ground floor lobby to check-in.

“Are you the exemplary champion family from St. Hys Academy?” the front desk staff politely inquired.

“Yes.”

Champions are champions, why add ‘exemplary’ in front? There must be some ulterior motive!

Vice principal, that old dragon, probably got an itch again. Leon angrily thought of packaging him up and hanging him on the empire’s walls someday.

“Alright, St. Hys Academy will cover all your expenses for the next seven days, so feel free to enjoy any activities you like.”

As the staff spoke, they handed over several enchanted room cards.

Leon glanced at the number on his room card, then sneakily glanced at Rosvitha’s.

Sure enough, they were in the same room.

And that was exactly why he didn’t want to go on vacation.

If these seven days of vacation were spent at home, he could comfortably sleep in his own nursery. But if he had to share a room with Rosvitha…

Even though she said she wouldn’t touch Leon, if she truly got in the mood and acted recklessly, who could stop her?

The subtle expression on Leon’s face was keenly noticed by the staff, who then asked with concern, “Is everything alright, sir? Are you dissatisfied with our room arrangement? If you’re not happy with this hot spring suite, we can offer another type of room.”

Leon’s eyes lit up, “What room?”

“A honeymoon suite.”

“Thank you, but no need.”

“Alright, turn left ahead and go upstairs. Have a pleasant vacation.”

Leon took the room cards, patted his daughters’ heads, and led them towards the staircase.

Rosvitha shook her head with a light laugh, then followed suit.

On the designated floor, Muen, holding the room card, bounced excitedly, “Oh~ I’m going to sleep in the big bed with my sister~ Mom and dad, don’t disturb us at night~”

Thank you, Muen, you just cut off Dad’s last lifeline!

“It’s what Aunt Isabella told us before, that both adults and children should have their own private space,” Noia said from the side. “I can take care of Muen myself now, so you two can enjoy your alone time.”

Thank you, Noia, your intentions are really great, but Dad suggests you not to proceed.

Muen, already impatient, swiped the room card and opened the door, standing at the doorway calling out to Noia, “Come on, sis!”

“Coming~” Noia replied, trotting over.

The two little dragon sisters held hands and entered the room, then closed the door.

Rosvitha breathed a sigh of relief, “The children have grown up. But why do you look a bit unhappy?”

“Haha, can you guess?” Leon chuckled.

Rosvitha clicked her tongue and didn’t ask further, walking to the corresponding room door and swiping the card to open it. Leon followed behind her, entering the room together.

Whether to mention it or not, although St. Hys Academy always seems to use various unexpected “new attempts” to challenge their family, this move was quite generous.

They had been booked into the top-tier hot spring suite at Flowing Cloud Valley, even more upscale than the one they stayed in at Sky City yesterday.

From the foyer through the hallway, there was an open-plan kitchen, a rooftop terrace, and large floor-to-ceiling windows.@@novelbin@@

Moving further inside, there was an incredibly luxurious bedroom. Pushing open the bedroom’s back door revealed a private hot spring. The water emitted a warm steam, and one could faintly see various fish swimming around in it.

Moreover, the location chosen here was also excellent. Lying in the hot spring, one could take in the entire expanse of Flowing Cloud Valley’s sky without any obstructive buildings in sight.

“Not bad,” Rosvitha gave a short but sincere assessment.

“Have you never been here before?” Leon asked.

Rosvitha shook her head, “I’ve said it before, this isn’t a place you can come to just because you have money. Although I’ve won first place in the school sports competition before, the first place prize at that time wasn’t a seven-day tour; it was just a camera.”

“Camera…” Leon’s mind wandered, as if he had realized something.

Alarm bells rang loudly in his mind!

Previously, when Rosvitha was unconscious, he used the camera to secretly take photos of her in her bunny girl outfit. Could it be that—

“Just right, I brought that camera with me this time,” Rosvitha said. As she spoke, she opened the suitcase and took out a classic-styled home camera.

Leon nervously swallowed, silently praying that this mother dragon had bought more than just that one camera.

Rosvitha, while adjusting the camera, muttered, “It’s been a long time since I used it. I wonder if it still works. I’ll take some photos of Noia and Muen later.”

Leon stared intently at the camera in Rosvitha’s hand.

Well, that was his tool of the crime at the time!

The bunny girl photos he took—especially the ones with him in them!—were still inside. He hadn’t had time to develop them.

These photos, in Leon’s hands, were powerful weapons for threatening the mother dragon. But if they fell into the hands of the mother dragon, they would be irrefutable evidence of Leon’s guilt, resulting in his death sentence!

No, his vacation had just begun. He absolutely couldn’t die on the first day!

Snap— Leon quickly grabbed the camera and held it tightly to his chest.

Rosvitha was puzzled, “What’s wrong?”

“Uh, I… I’ll be the photographer for this vacation, I’m a professional.”

Rosvitha looked skeptical, “Aren’t you a professional dragon slayer? Since when did you become a professional photographer?”

“I’ve been taking pictures of my master’s donkeys since I was a kid—”

“Alright, alright, you can take pictures if you want. But do you know how to use it?”

Leon nodded, “Uh, yeah, I know.”

Of course, I know how to use it. Otherwise, how did I take the bunny girl photos in the first place?

“That’s great, let’s go out, take some pictures, and tonight we have a barbecue and fireworks show,” Rosvitha said, then left the room.

Meanwhile, Leon silently pondered how to deal with those bunny girl photos. If he deleted them, he wouldn’t have any leverage against the mother dragon once the seven-day vacation was over.

But if he didn’t delete them, they could easily lead to “disgrace” for him before the photos were developed.

After much consideration, Leon decided to develop those bunny girl photos as soon as possible. Hopefully, there was a photo studio or something similar nearby.

With these thoughts in mind, Leon hung the camera around his neck and left the room.
