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

Eluvia took a deep breath, flipped herself over again, and a defiant flame burned in her eyes.

"Continue!" She raised her delicate chin, her tone both fierce and arrogant.

"Who said I was going to call a stop? Whoever can't hold on and calls a stop first is a little dog! You lie still and don't move, I can do it myself!"

Luo Ye was startled by her sudden, domineering demeanor, blinking slightly. His eyes filled with barely concealed amusement as he deliberately softened his tone to tease her:

"Are you sure you can do it?"

"What's wrong with that? I've read the book! The first step is to take your clothes off—"

She stopped mid-sentence, her gaze falling to Luo Ye's clothes, which she had already torn apart with her brute force, and stared at them blankly for several seconds.

His originally high-spirited demeanor suddenly dropped by half, and his voice became soft and weak.

"I've already torn your clothes... It seems like I've already completed the first step ahead of time."

Luo Ye could no longer hide the smile in his eyes; his chest trembled slightly as he nodded earnestly, suppressing his laughter.

"That's right, the first step has been successfully completed. So, Your Majesty, may I ask how the second step will proceed?"

Eluvia pursed her pink lips, her brows furrowed slightly, her small face filled with seriousness.

She closed her eyes and pondered deeply, her mind racing through images from the secret manual. Those ambiguous and tender scenes flashed through her mind again and again, causing her fair cheeks, neck, and even the base of the dragon horns to gradually turn a burning crimson.

"The second step, the second step is to get closer to each other... increase the bond and affinity, so that the dragon's essence and the knight's spiritual power can resonate completely in sync..."

"Oh? So, Your Majesty, where do you intend to begin?"

"W-Don't ask such detailed questions!" Eluvia was instantly flustered by the question, blushing and anxious as she snapped at him, "Shut up and lie still. I have my own plans, and you're not allowed to disrupt my rhythm!"

Despite her forceful words, her slender fingertips trembled slightly as she carefully raised her hand and gently touched Luo Ye's collarbone.

My fingertips paused for half a second before slowly sliding down my skin, bit by bit.

A faint electric current spread along their fingertips, combining with the lingering warmth of their soul bond, transforming into a dense, tingling sensation that swept over both of them.

Luo Ye was amused by her embarrassed, anxious, and stubborn demeanor, so he simply put his hands behind his head, adopting a "do as you please" attitude, a mischievous smile on his lips that Eluvia both loved and hated:

"Alright, then I'll lie down. Your Majesty, please make yourself at home."

Eluvia bit her lower lip, her fingertips still persistently exploring downwards.

Ke Luoye's deep, gentle eyes remained fixed on her figure, his gaze so focused and intense that it made her tense up and her scalp feel slightly hot.

"Don't stare at me like that."

She couldn't help but raise her hand, her soft palm gently covering Luo Ye's eyes, blocking the gaze that made her heart flutter, her tone filled with deep embarrassment.

Beneath her palm, Luo Ye's eyelashes trembled slightly, brushing against her skin and bringing a subtle tickle.

He chuckled softly, his voice muffled through his palm, carrying a teasing gentleness: "How can I properly learn and cooperate with the ceremony without watching His Majesty?"

"You don't need to learn at all!" Eluvia retorted angrily, her cheeks burning hot.

"You know everything! You're just deliberately trying to make me look bad!"

Shyness dispelled most of her restraint, and she decided to go all out, reaching out to unbutton her collar, intending to proceed with the ceremony strictly according to the book's procedures.

But the movements that were usually so familiar became incredibly difficult at this moment.

This dark purple dragon-patterned gown, which has been with her for thousands of years, can be put on and taken off at will with a single thought of magic, and it will automatically revert to its original state.

But at this moment, her fingertips felt like they were in a knot, and she couldn't hold the button firmly no matter what she did.

Nervousness, shyness, and trepidation intertwined, causing even her magic to become slightly disordered, making it impossible for her to activate it at will.

"Do you need my help?" Luo Ye's voice came from below her palm at just the right moment.

"No need!" Eluvia immediately refused firmly, gritting her teeth and struggling with the buttons. In the end, she simply gave up on delicate operations and pulled hard, tearing the first button open.

Undeterred, she continued, the second one, the third one...

One button at a time, the buttons came undone, and the exquisite dark purple outer skirt slowly slid down her slender shoulders, revealing her delicate and beautiful shoulder line and her slender and exquisite collarbone.

Luo Ye gently pulled down her hand that was covering her eyes, his gaze lingering on her collarbone for several seconds.

The direct yet gentle gaze made Eluvia panic instantly. She instinctively crossed her arms quickly and tightly covered her chest. Her ear tips turned so red they were almost bleeding, and even her neck was tinged with a thin layer of red.

"Hey, what are you looking at! Don't look around!"

"Look at my handsome Dragon King." Luo Ye's voice suddenly became very soft and gentle.

As soon as he finished speaking, he gently took her tightly clenched fist with his long fingers, slowly and gently prying open her tense knuckles, so that her soft palm could be completely pressed against his burning chest.

"Can you feel it? I'm nervous too."

Eluvia was stunned.

Beneath my palm, I could clearly hear the steady, powerful heartbeat, its frequency rapid and scalding, several times faster than usual, thumping loudly and with tremendous force.

The amazing thing is that her rapid heartbeat was perfectly synchronized with the heart in her chest that was about to leap out of her throat, resonating tightly.

So he was nervous too.

It turns out he wasn't as adept as he seemed.

This realization caused Eluvia's tense body to miraculously relax.

She lowered her eyelashes and muttered softly, "...Then why were you acting so calm and serious just now, trying to tease me? You jerk, Luo Ye."

Luo Ye chuckled softly, gently tightened his grip on the back of her head, and pulled her closer, tenderly kissing her chattering little mouth once more.

Warm palms slid slowly down her delicate back, across the soft fabric, and finally settled gently on the slightly concave soft flesh of her waist, kneading it lightly.

"Well……"

A low, muffled groan escaped uncontrollably from Eluvia's throat, long and soft.

Her body went limp, all her strength completely gone, and she leaned softly against his chest.

The dragon's tail swung uncontrollably behind her twice, the fluffy ball at the tip puffing up and hitting the edge of the stone bed with a dull thud.
