Mr. Dragon Knight, the dragon girls are chasing you!

Luo Ye: "..."

He slowly raised his head and looked at the elegant, swiftly moving silver-white dragon shadow in front of him.

Seraphina seemed to sense his gaze and slightly turned her massive dragon head. A meaningful smile flashed in her clear, silvery-white vertical pupils.

That smile was gentle and composed, carrying a serene understanding of everything—

And a hint of calm danger, as if to say, "I see through everything, but I choose not to say it. Let's talk about it later."

Luo Ye felt a chill run down her spine.

...It's over, I've been seen through.

Serafina withdrew her gaze and refocused on the flight ahead.

But the long, slender, white dragon tail silently emerged from behind, its tip gently brushing against the outside of Luo Ye's calf with barely perceptible force, like moonlight falling on his skin.

In that instant, two thoughts flashed through Luo Ye's mind—

First, her tail is so soft, her scales are so cool, and the silver dragon is so beautiful.

Second, am I really a dragon lover?

But that meaningful smile made Luo Ye start to think about his escape plan.

but--

He felt the warm touch of the dragon's back beneath him, felt Eluvia's small body gradually relax in his arms, felt the night wind whistling past his ears and the light of dawn gradually brightening in the distance, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

It's nice to be alive.

It's better with them around.

From the depths of the abyss, a roar of defiance echoed.

The sound pierced through layers of crumbling black mist, through the ever-shrinking shadow cage, through thousands upon thousands of fleeing shadow soldiers, and heavily swept across the entire dark sky.

"Humans, remember the debt you owe today."

The sound chased after us from the depths of the crack, already shattered into fragments, like a broken mirror being pieced back together with difficulty:

"The day I awaken, your life will be the first sacrifice!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Ye couldn't help but chuckle. He turned around and shouted at the top of his lungs towards the churning black mist deep within the rift.

"Owe? Owe you my foot!"

"You've been locked up for 90,000 years, and you're still so hot-tempered. I'll come find you for tea another day!"

"Shameless humans!!!"

The roar of the Abyss's Will was utterly enraged, causing the entire rift to tremble.

But its voice grew fainter and fainter, left far behind by the three rapidly advancing figures.

The night wind howled, and the Milky Way hung low.

Beneath the vast sky, two streaks of light raced side by side—silver white and dark purple tearing through the darkness, one to the left and one to the right, flying toward the horizon beyond the rift, which was gradually being bathed in the dawn.

The first rays of dawn pierced through the clouds, spreading a warm golden hue across the horizon before them.

Luo Ye silently rolled her eyes.

This system is becoming increasingly disrespectful.

but--

He looked down at the girl in his arms, then looked up at the holy, silvery-white dragon shadow in the moonlight ahead.

The smile on his lips was impossible to suppress.

Oh well, let it be.

He won the battle, got the loot, and saved his life. He held a warm little black dragon in his arms and rode a silver dragon gentler than moonlight.

This is a huge profit.

As Luo Ye was thinking, she suddenly felt the weight in her arms sink a little deeper.

He subconsciously looked down, his gaze falling on the little black dragon girl in his arms, a gentle look of surprise flashing across his eyes.

No one knows when, but Eluvia, who was just now being stubborn, arrogant, prickly, and ready to start a fight at any moment, actually fell into a deep sleep.

That delicate little face, which was usually either arrogant and domineering or blushing with embarrassment, was now completely buried in Luo Ye's warm chest, her soft hair clinging to her skin, rising and falling gently with her long, even breaths.

Even more outrageous, her pink lips were slightly pursed, and a little bit of suspicious, clear saliva hung from the corner of her mouth, lightly staining her clothes, completely ruining the cold and domineering persona of the Eternal Night Dragon King, making her irresistibly cute.

No, perhaps it's in line with the persona?

The dragon's tail completely relaxed, resting softly in the crook of his knees, the pom-pom at the tip drooping, trembling with her breath.

I fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.

Looking at this unguarded look, Luo Ye deliberately lowered his voice and breathed very softly, afraid of disturbing the sweet dream of the person in his arms.

"...She seems to have really fallen asleep."

The silver-white dragon, flying steadily ahead, did not turn back. Its massive head continued its steady march towards the dawn-breaking horizon. A clear, gentle voice softly touched Luo Ye's ear:

"They're drooling; they must be really fast asleep."

"This is probably the first time in her 4,700 years of life that she has completely let down her guard and willingly slept in someone else's arms."

"It seems she trusts you a lot."

Luo Ye paused for a moment, looking down at the peaceful sleeping face of the girl in his arms, and suddenly felt a tightness in his throat.

He gently pulled his arms closer, drawing the person into his embrace.

The warm embrace enveloped her tightly, shielding her from the cold winds of the high altitude and giving her all the security she had been missing.

"...Then let her sleep well."

Luo Ye murmured softly, her tone so gentle that she herself didn't even realize it.

Eluvia was fast asleep, completely shedding all her haughty facade.

Her long, even breaths continued to rise and fall. Her slender fingers, which had been tightly gripping Luo Ye's clothes with tension and stubbornness, completely loosened their grip and softly rested on his collarbone. Her fingertips occasionally brushed against him unconsciously, bringing a warm and soft touch.

But the black dragon tail alone seemed to have its own consciousness, and it was never completely still from beginning to end.

At first, the tip of its tail gently twitched and swept across Luo Ye's knees, as if it had caught some prey in a dream and flicked it triumphantly.

Then the entire tail slowly curled up, like a little snake with its own ideas, wrapping around his knee for most of the way, with the pom-pom at the tip of the tail resting on the back of his hand.

Luo Ye tried to move her hand away, but the tail tip immediately caught up and returned to its original position.

Move it again, chase it again.

"..."

Luo Ye sighed helplessly and simply turned his palm over, letting the ball of black fluff fall into his palm.

The dragon's tail, having been "successfully" manipulated, immediately calmed down. Even the fluffy down at the tip of its tail softened slightly, and it nestled obediently in his palm, no longer moving around.

Within the soul link, Serafina's calm voice echoed:

"Oh dear, the little black dragon is so clingy. If she finds out about our relationship, she'll really get angry!"

Although she spoke in a teasing tone, Serafina's actions were extremely gentle.

The broad, stable dragon's back subtly tilted and adjusted its angle, completely flattening the originally slightly steep slope, allowing Luo Ye, who was lying on the dragon's back, and Ailuvia in his arms to lie more comfortably and securely.

Luo Ye keenly noticed this subtle and gentle gesture, and his heart stirred.

He looked up at the elegant and composed silver-white dragon head in front of him. The night breeze ruffled his hair. He deliberately lowered his voice and spoke softly.

"You've always cared about her, haven't you?"

"Logically speaking, the Silver Moon Dragon Clan and the Eternal Night Dragon Clan have conflicting attributes and a terrible relationship. You have no reason to repeatedly favor her and save her."

"Whether it was when the forest was besieged by the Beast King or this time in the abyss, you always protected her without hesitation."

"Last time in the forest, you went specifically to rescue the little black dragon, right?"
