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

In the mirror, Serafina's smile froze completely.

Her silvery-white eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light surging within them. The chilling aura around her instantly dropped several degrees, and her fists clenched tightly beneath her sleeves, so tightly that a faint cracking sound could be heard.

Reverse scale.

pitaya.

A portrait was painted on an entire wall.

I want to contract with multiple dragon kings at the same time.

Very good, excellent.

She thought there was only the Water Dragon King, but she had underestimated that bastard!

There was also a Fire Dragon King.

Moreover, judging from Ignis's tone, Luo Ye has been in the Fire Dragon Territory for many years, tricked them out of their reverse scale, ate all their dragon fruit, ran away while they were asleep, and even went to the Water Dragon Territory to woo their older sister.

Serafina took a deep breath, her fists clenching so tightly under her sleeves that they cracked.

(That damned Luo Ye... I thought there was only a Water Dragon King... Turns out there's a Fire Dragon King too?)

(Is having me and the Black Dragon King not enough? Do you want to take on both the Water Dragon and the Fire Dragon at the same time?)

(He deserves a beating!)

[System High-Energy Warning!]

[The Silver Dragon King's exclusive passive skill "The Empress's Absolute Wrath" has been fully triggered! His aura of dominance is now unleashed!]

[System Evaluation: Host, although you are not here now, the system has already sensed that chill for you.]

[System Reminder: It is recommended that the host write a will as soon as possible, or level up as soon as possible—at least to the point where they can withstand the combined pursuit of four Dragon Kings.]

The two sides of the mirror instantly fell into a silent standoff.

One is the Silver Moon Dragon King, who has lived for tens of thousands of years. He is aloof, composed, and strategic, and never easily reveals his emotions.

The other is a nine-thousand-year-old water dragon king, gentle and Buddhist, slow and methodical, yet with eyes that can see through people's hearts.

The two dragon kings stared at each other for several seconds across the treasure, a subtle atmosphere silently flowing in the air that only a wise person could understand.

A few seconds later, Seraphina forcibly suppressed the overwhelming rage within her, regained her calm and composed demeanor, and spoke in a flat tone:

"I see. In that case, this person is indeed audacious and despicable. But I have never seen him before, so you should look for other clues."

"Are you sure?" Wendina narrowed her eyes slightly.

Serafina smoothed her long, silvery-white hair behind her ear, her tone returning to its usual languid composure: "Of course, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. There are still some matters to attend to at Silvermoon Peak."

Wendina didn't press further, simply nodding slightly: "Okay. Thank you for replying."

Serafina waved her hand slightly, saying no more.

The mirror's silver light slowly receded and dimmed, the ripples dissipated layer by layer, and finally returned to complete darkness, the cross-domain communication was completely cut off.

The vast Silver Moon Temple fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

The cool moonlight poured down from the dome, falling on Serafina's silvery-white hair and long dress, coating them with a holy halo, making her aura appear even more distant.

She remained silent for a long time.

After a while, she slowly raised her slender wrist, her fingertips gently stroking the edge of the silver dragon scale armor on her wrist, her silver-white eyes churning with complex emotions.

The reverse scale, the reverse scale of the Fire Dragon King.

She knew better than anyone how precious a dragon's reverse scale was.

The reverse scale is the part of a dragon's body closest to its origin, carrying the dragon's most private primal aura.

In the ancient customs of the dragon race, voluntarily removing one's reverse scale and giving it to another is almost equivalent to "offering oneself in return."

Ignis stubbornly insisted that it was "stolen," but Serafina understood the dragons' nature all too well.

Given the Fire Dragon King's volatile, fierce, and fiercely independent nature, if her reverse scale had truly been forcibly stolen, she would not have merely complained verbally; she would have already gone straight to the door to hunt down and kill the perpetrator.

So there's only one truth—Ignis gave it willingly, but was tricked into running away and couldn't bring herself to lie, claiming it was stolen.

Serafina felt increasingly conflicted and bittersweet.

Because she had also used the same nonchalant tone when handing the Silver Moon Heart to Luo Ye, saying, "I'm just lending it to you for a bit," and when handing him her Reverse Scale Armor, saying, "I'll reluctantly give it to you as a life-saving trump card."

He said "reluctantly," but in his heart it was "all of his business."

So the current situation is: the Fire Dragon King's reverse scale is on Luo Ye, which means that Luo Ye, at least for a period of time, established a deep bond with the Fire Dragon King that was enough to give him the reverse scale.

Although the Water Dragon King Wendina did not say it explicitly, judging from her attitude of personally sending messages across realms and personally inquiring, Luo Ye's importance to her was definitely not just a portrait on a wall.

Seraphina's mind was filled with Ignis's words—

"He stole my Achilles' heel and even tried to deceive my sister's heart."

"You bastard Luo Ye..." she muttered through gritted teeth.

"I thought you only messed with me and Elvia, but I didn't expect you to go after the water dragon and the fire dragon too..."

She grew angrier the more she thought about it, and stood up, pacing back and forth in the palace.

"No, I have to go find him and get to the bottom of this! I need him to give me an explanation in person!"

But she stopped in her tracks just as she reached the door.

"No... I just got back from him today. Going back now would make me seem too immature."

She frowned, but ultimately decided to calm down first and talk about it tomorrow.

Having made up her mind, she turned and walked toward the sacred altar deep within Silvermoon Peak—the location of the Heart of Silvermoon.

A few minutes later, Serafina stood alone before the altar.

The enormous crystal skylight of the dome dappled the sky with bright moonlight, and in the center floated a fist-sized, translucent white crystal, the very essence of the Silver Moon Dragon Clan—the Heart of the Silver Moon.

She stood quietly for a moment, then slowly raised her hand and gently covered the floating silver-white crystal with her palm.

The Silver Moon Heart trembled slightly, emitting a very faint hum, as if responding to her touch.

A soft, silvery-white halo rippled from the crystal surface, spreading along her fingertips to her wrists, arms, and entire body, enveloping her in a holy glow.

Seraphina slowly closed her eyes, whispering all the confusion in her heart:

"Silver Moon Heart, please tell me—what should I do?"

"Why did I inexplicably lower my guard and develop an inappropriate liking for that stupid human the first time I met him?"

She paused, then lowered her voice.

"Why do I always feel like I saw him long ago? And why do I even feel an irresistible urge to get closer to him?"

"Was it just a delusion born from my long-accumulated loneliness, or did something really happen that I don't know about?"

PS: This is a plot hole, marked silently, it will be on the test later.
