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

As soon as the words fell, the Silver Moon Heart began to rotate at a slower speed, its internal liquid galaxy-like moonlight surging wildly, and its vast and gentle primal power slowly enveloped the entire altar.

A moment later, a gentle yet vast power surged from the crystal, like a warm stream of water, enveloping Serafina entirely.

A line of ancient dragon script, shimmering with silver light, slowly emerged on the surface of the Silver Moon Heart. The handwriting was solemn yet gentle, as if many elders had written at the same time, ultimately condensing into a single, understated instruction.

Everything is a matter of cause and effect. Simply follow your heart.

Serafina opened her eyes, her silvery-white pupils reflecting the slowly fading text.

"Cause and effect... one's true nature..."

She repeated the two words in a low voice, a complex smile appearing on her lips.

Her own true feelings? Is there even a question? She'd long since become inseparable from that silly human.

But the problem is—Eluvia can barely accept it.

After all, he had watched that little black dragon grow up. He had been worried about her since she was a fluffy little cub. Over thousands of years, he had long been used to her presence.

Although Serafina complained about giving her half of the dragon knight, she wasn't really bothered by it.

But what about the Water Dragon King? Wendina is indeed his best friend, but best friends and sharing a dragon knight are two different things.

And then there's the Fire Dragon Queen Ignis—that grumpy girl, whom I've only met a few times and don't know at all.

Even if she is Wendina's sister, does that mean she should be allowed to interfere?

No, I can't accept that at all.

Serafina took a deep breath, suppressing the surging dissatisfaction in her heart, and regained her composure.

"Okay, I've made up my mind."

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the Eternal Night Dragon's Nest and confront that bastard."

Meanwhile, in Azure City, at the Water Dragon Clan's teahouse.

The light of the Mirror of Secrets had just faded when Ignis couldn't resist any longer.

"She clearly knows Luo Ye!" The Fire Dragon King jumped to his feet, his high ponytail whipping around in a furious arc, his crimson vertical pupils churning with dissatisfaction and impatience.

"Didn't you see that? Her eyes were lying just now! She said she didn't know him, she said she'd seen him before—she clearly knew him! That bastard might be with her right now!"

Wendina sat upright at the tea table, holding a warm teacup in both hands, her legs dangling over the edge of the chair and gently swinging back and forth, her tone slow and leisurely: "Yes."

"Then why did you tell me not to call her out? Why didn't you just ask her directly—"

"Ignis." Undina gently set down her teacup, her blue eyes gazing tenderly at her younger sister.

"Did you notice? When I mentioned Luo Ye's name, she paused for a second."

Ignis was stunned.

Wendina looked at her sister's defiant face and gently shook her head:

"If Seraphina doesn't want to talk about something, there's no point in pressing her for details. But just because she's unwilling to talk about it doesn't mean you can't take the initiative to find her."

"The Silver Dragon Clan's territory is far away. Even at your speed, it would take several days to fly there. Be sure to be careful of the turbulent areas and the territorial boundaries of the major powers along the way."

"While you're basically capable enough to worry about, it's always good to be cautious."

She took out several items from her sleeve and gently pushed them in front of Ignis—an amulet that shimmered with a pale blue light, several small crystal bottles, and a bag of refined water-attribute magic cores.

"This is a protective water charm, a specialty of Azure City, which can help you block a fatal attack in a critical moment. These few bottles are aquamarine essence that I personally refined. Take them when you rest along the way to help you quickly restore your strength."

"As for these magic cores—don't be stingy with them on the road, and don't overwork yourself."

Ignis looked down at her hands, which were stuffed full of things, her lips moved several times, and she finally managed to stammer out, "What about you? Aren't you coming with me?"

Wendina stood up gently, her bare feet touching the cool crystal floor, and looked up at her sister, who was a whole head taller than her.

A gentle smile played in her blue eyes: "Me? I'll look after the house for you."

She stood on tiptoe, stretched out her slender arm, and gently rubbed the top of Ignis's head.

Her movements were gentle and clumsy, like an older sister who never grew up, comforting her younger sister in the simplest way.

"I believe in you. You will definitely find him and bring him back."

Ignis stood frozen in place.

The warmth of Wendina's palm seeped through her hair to her scalp, carrying the coolness and gentleness unique to the Water Dragon Clan.

She was so much shorter than me, and she looked like a child who needed to be taken care of, yet she always revealed the most mature and reassuring power among all the dragons at times like these.

After hesitating for several seconds, Ignis finally spoke in a muffled voice: "...Okay. I'll come back to you as soon as I catch him. You help me figure out how to deal with him and how to make him behave."

"Okay." Wendina withdrew her hand and replied with a smile.

The next second, crimson flames erupted from Ignis's body!

The petite dragon girl's form rapidly stretched and transformed in the raging flames, instantly becoming a giant fiery dragon with wings that blotted out the sky and a crimson body.

Each flap of the dragon's wings unleashed scorching waves of air, frightening the fish swimming outside the crystal walls of the teahouse into scattering in all directions, and even burning the clouds above the Azure City into the shape of fiery clouds.

The fire dragon raised its massive head and let out a deep and resolute roar.

The dragon's roar pierced through the clouds and swept across the sky, launching a full-speed charge towards that unknown territory in the distance!

She flew into the air, then suddenly paused, her enormous dragon head turning slightly to glance at the petite blue figure atop the Azure City Tower.

Wendina remained standing there, her blue hair fluttering in the wind, and waved to her.

Ignis turned her head and charged forward at full speed without pausing.

She won't keep her sister waiting too long.

That little rascal, it's not impossible for him to share with his sister.

But other dragons won't work!

Wendina stood atop the tower, watching the blazing crimson light gradually disappear into the clouds, the tenderness in her blue eyes lingering for a long time.

She spoke softly, her voice barely audible to herself.

"Don't disappoint me, you silly little sister."
