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

Eluvia gritted her teeth, stood up, and walked to a corner at the deepest part of the treasure vault.

It houses the oldest books of the Eternal Night Dragon Clan—ancient scrolls that have been passed down for tens of thousands of years and listed as "forbidden books" by successive Dragon Kings.

She had never dared to touch these things before, always feeling that those yellowed ancient books held some unspeakable secrets.

But she couldn't worry about that now; she urgently needed to catch up on her studies.

Eluvia tiptoed and took down an ancient book from the top shelf. The book's cover was yellowed and the edges were tattered.

The cover is written in ancient dragon script: "The Dragon Clan and Dragon Knight Bond Codex: Ancient Edition".

Her heart pounded, her fingertips trembled slightly, she took a deep breath, and slowly turned to the first page.

A few seconds later, her gilded vertical pupils suddenly widened, and her entire face turned from fair to pink at a speed visible to the naked eye, then from pink to bright red, and finally from bright red to a deep red that was almost smoking.

"Bang!"

She hurriedly slammed the ancient book shut, pressing her hands tightly against her burning cheeks, her fingertips able to feel the scorching heat of her skin.

The dragon's tail behind it completely went out of control, wildly whipping and slapping the ground. The fluffy ball at the tip of the tail exploded into a fluffy ball of fur, looking both flustered and embarrassed.

"What the heck is going on?! What the heck is all this?! What is all this?!"

Eluvia's panicked screams echoed through the empty treasure vault, filled with shame and disbelief.

With just one glance, the delicate and straightforward illustrations and easy-to-understand text on that page made her blood rush to her head, leaving her feeling hot all over and her hands and feet stiff.

How could dragons and humans do this?

No, that's not the point.

The key point is that she always believed that the bond between dragons and knights was a soul contract, fighting side by side, and sharing life and death.

She thought she and that silly dragon knight were already the closest of friends!

But this ancient secret manual clearly told her—

The truly inseparable and profound bond is one of such intimacy, such extreme intensity, and such unreserved fusion.

So this is how it has to be done to truly establish a "bond between dragons and dragon knights"?

Eluvia was so embarrassed that she simply knelt down, curled up in a corner of the treasure vault, buried her flushed face deep in her knees, and shrunk into a small ball, like a shy kitten that dared not be seen by anyone.

My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. I felt unbearably hot all over, and even my breathing became rapid and disordered.

It was too shameful, too outrageous, completely beyond her understanding of over four thousand years.

The more shy she became, the more her curiosity grew, and that secret flutter of excitement held her captive.

A few seconds later, she secretly peeked at the ancient book through her fingers, then quickly turned her head away. A few seconds later, she secretly peeked at it again.

Then I glanced at it again.

After struggling back and forth several times, she finally mustered the courage to open the book again, covering her eyes with her hand as she read, but the gaps between her fingers kept widening, and she kept muttering to herself:

"I'll just take a look... just one glance..."

"So there are so many ways to interact closely with humans after transforming into human form... I never knew a dragon's tail could be used like this..."

"No, no, what am I thinking! I need to study hard for the sake of bonds!"

"What...what are all these things...?"

She muttered complaints under her breath as she flipped through the pages, her face growing redder and her heart racing with each page she read.

The things drawn in this book are a hundred times more outrageous than she had just imagined!

The long and arduous study lasted for almost half an hour.

The moment Eluvia finally gently closed the yellowed ancient book, she was completely in a dazed, out-of-body state.

Her face was as red as it could possibly be, and her dragon tail drooped limply on the ground. The fluffy ball at the tip of her tail went from bursting open to shrinking back to completely losing its strength, as if it had been through three great battles and was utterly exhausted.

But her gilded vertical pupils shone with an unprecedentedly firm light.

She understood, she knew what to do!

"So...it can be done like this..."

She murmured softly, certain scenes from the book involuntarily appearing in her mind, and her cheeks flushed even more.

Although I was very shy, and although I really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

But—in order to keep that foolish dragon knight, and to prevent him from being taken away by someone else.

She's going all out!

Eluvia took a deep breath, suppressing the shyness and excitement surging in her heart, and picked up the cool and translucent Forget-Me-Not Fruit from her palm again, clutching it tightly in her hand.

Composing herself, she turned and strode out of the dusty treasure vault. The heavy crystal door closed slowly behind her, returning to silence once more.

The courtyard was bathed in warm sunshine, and a gentle breeze dispelled the slight chill of the treasure vault.

Luo Ye was sitting lazily on the stone steps in front of the palace, humming a song she had never heard before, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"You idiot dragon knight!"

Eluvia stood under the corridor not far away, trying to calm her flustered breathing, deliberately raising her voice, and pretending to be as arrogant as ever.

But her slightly flushed cheeks and shifty eyes couldn't hide her nervousness and shyness.

Luo Ye turned around and saw her standing at the door, a slight blush on her face. He asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Your face is so red. Do dragons get angry too?"

"No, no, I didn't!"

Eluvia immediately waved her hand in denial, her small hands nervously clasped behind her back, tightly gripping the Forget-Me-Not Fruit in her palm, her fingertips exerting slight pressure.

"Yes, yes, the sun was so strong today! My face is burning!"

The clumsy excuse slipped out, and she almost felt guilty and lowered her head.

Before Luo Ye could ask any further questions, she quickly ran forward and handed him the translucent, pale purple fruit in her palm.

She deliberately put on a stern face, pretending to be arrogant and generous: "I picked too many fruits from the back mountain, so I'll give you one. You're lucky, this is a dragon clan treasure, it's good for your health."

As she spoke, her eyes kept darting around, avoiding Luo Ye's gaze, afraid that he would see through her thoughts.
