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

Serafina bit her pink lower lip tightly. Her once clear and cool silver-white eyes were now shimmering with water, misty and all her composure vanished.

Her breathing became rapid and erratic, her chest heaving slightly, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence, only letting the tingling sensation spread throughout her body.

Luo Ye's palm remained unhurried, continuing to ruffle her fluffy silver hair with a gentle, moderate touch, as if teasing a usually aloof and proud kitten that had completely broken down at this moment.

His fingertips would occasionally "accidentally" brush against the base of the dragon's horns, each touch eliciting a suppressed nasal sound from Serafina.

He ruffled her long, silvery-white hair into a mess, with several strands slipping off her shoulders and falling loosely down her back.

The ends of the hair generated tiny static electricity due to friction, causing them to float slightly in the air.

At this moment, the Silver Dragon King, who controlled the moonlight, looked down upon all races, was always calm and elegant, and controlled everything, completely shed all his aloof pretense.

Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were red, her breathing was disordered, and her whole body was weak. She had completely lost her usual domineering posture and looked exactly like an elegant cat whose fur had been ruffled and whose defenses had been completely broken.

Seeing that he had the upper hand, Luo Ye slowly released his grip, took a half step back to create some distance, and admired the result of his perfect counterattack.

"...We're even."

Serafina stood silently in place, her chest still heaving, her rapid breathing unable to calm down.

She raised her hand to straighten her messy silver hair, but as her fingertips brushed against the strands, she discovered that several strands were already tangled and knotted. A gentle tug tightened them slightly, completely losing the smooth texture that used to flow like moonlight.

She slowly raised her silvery eyes, which were glistening with moisture, and looked at the boy in front of her with a triumphant smile.

The emotions in his eyes were very complex—

There was a mix of embarrassment and annoyance at being groped until her body went limp, frustration at wanting to immediately curse him but not being able to find the words, and a deep-seated excitement that she herself didn't really want to admit.

"Luo Ye".

"Um?"

"You're getting bolder and bolder."

"I learned it from you."

Serafina chuckled softly, raising her hand to gently wipe away the fine tears that had welled up in the corners of her eyes. The cunning and possessiveness in her eyes slowly returned, only now with a touch more intense heat.

"...Very good. Luo Ye, you are very good."

She stopped bothering to tidy her messy hair, letting her silver hair fall freely, and stepped forward to close the distance between them once again.

His silvery-white eyes were fixed on Luo Ye, with a cunning look that was all too familiar to him, as well as a burning possessiveness that had never been extinguished since that night at Silver Moon Peak, so intense that there was nowhere for him to escape.

"Since you dare to retaliate, then I'm not leaving today."

She spoke casually, as if recounting a trivial matter, but her smile concealed a deep calculation.

"I'll stay here and catch up with you properly. I can stay in your room and save on a guest room."

Luo Ye's smile froze instantly, and his pupils trembled slightly.

"...?"

He opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found that his language function had completely stopped working, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

From the throne, Eluvia's soft, indistinct murmur drifted out once more: "Mmm... roasted rabbit... don't you dare steal my meat..."

Serafina glanced sideways at the little black dragon who was fast asleep and completely unaware of what was happening, her smile widening and her eyes filled with even more amusement.

She didn't say anything more, but gave Luo Ye a meaningful look, then turned around, casually gathered her disheveled long hair, and walked out of the bedroom.

Luo Ye stood there, silent for a long time, before finally squeezing out two words through gritted teeth:

"...It's over."

He glanced down at Eluvia, who was fast asleep on the throne, and then at Serafina's retreating figure as she disappeared through the doorway. He felt his life accelerating in an uncontrollable way.

[System Notification: Congratulations, host! You have successfully achieved a stage victory in the "Silver Dragon King's Teasing Counterattack"!]

[System Evaluation: Although you have successfully turned the tide, Serafina's "declaration of staying overnight" means you are about to face an even greater challenge. Good luck, host.]

[System Reminder: We recommend that the host prepare a kidney care plan in advance.]

Luo Ye silently gave the unscrupulous system the middle finger in his mind, too lazy to pay attention to its gossip and complaints.

He slowly walked to the throne, raised his hand, and took out the fragment of the Shadow Source Core that lay quietly in his storage bag.

The fragments glowed with a dark purple light in the dim light, exuding the purest and most refined aura of the Eternal Night Dragon Clan.

Luo Ye leaned down slightly and carefully placed the fragments into Eluvia's arms.

The sleeping girl seemed to instinctively sense the nourishment of her unique source. Even deep in her dream, her hands unconsciously clenched tightly, holding the warm source core fragment firmly to her chest, pressed against her heart, refusing to loosen their grip even slightly.

The next second, the purple light on the surface of the fragment flickered slowly, and strands of fine, dark purple energy, like streams, gently seeped into Eluvia's body, flowing through her blood vessels and throughout her body.

Eluvia's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, her breathing became longer and more even, and the corners of her mouth even turned up slightly, as if she were having a beautiful dream.

[System Notification: The Shadow Source Core Fragment is undergoing deep fusion with the Eternal Night Dragon King's essence!]

[System Progress Report: Fusion is stable, with no rejection reaction! Estimated time for complete absorption: 48 hours.]

[System notification: After absorption is complete, the final step can proceed—the Dragon Knight's Heart's Blood Sacrifice.]

At that time, the curse of eternal night will be completely lifted.

Luo Ye looked at Eluvia's peaceful sleeping face, remained silent for a moment, and then gently tucked the edges of the thin blanket around her.

The theory that a faint resonance occurs between the dragon's origin and its host, a theory that was only briefly mentioned in ancient records, is now right in front of him.

The Eternal Night Dragon Clan, whose bloodline had been cursed and imprisoned for 90,000 years, finally felt a sense of wholeness they had never experienced before the moment they touched this fragment.

Once she has absorbed all this power, and once the curse within her body has been neutralized to a critical level by the Silver Moon Heart and the Source Core Fragment, it will be time for me to offer my heart's blood.

At that time, all the missions will be completely over, and he will be able to obtain the exit permission, leave this fantasy world of swords and magic, dragons and strife, and return to his real life.

The main storyline is complete, the story comes to a perfect end, and you leave with style.

Since we're going to leave sooner or later, there's no need to keep feeling resentful and tolerant until we do.

Luo Ye slowly straightened up, turned his head to look in the direction of the corridor where Serafina had left, and a meaningful wicked smile slowly appeared on his lips.

That eternally wicked silver dragon teases and manipulates him all the time. Wouldn't it be a waste not to take this last chance to get revenge?

The ancients were right: taking a step back only makes you feel more cheated, and being patient for a moment only makes you more likely to take advantage!

To deal with a flirtatious and teasing person like Serafina, you should take the initiative and fight back, an eye for an eye!

Once Luo Ye understood this, his mind became clear instantly, and all the entanglements in his heart vanished.

He turned around and strode quickly toward his room, exuding an aura of authority.

[System notification: Host has been detected to have entered "Full Counterattack Mode".]

[System Evaluation: Excellent, the host has finally awakened.]

[System Reminder: We suggest you enjoy the present moment. On the other side of the continent, a new storm has begun.]
