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

Luo Ye opened his mouth, but before he could utter the words "I'm really okay," Eluvia glared at him fiercely, her eyes red-rimmed, and growled in a tearful voice:

"If you dare say 'it's nothing,' 'it's just a minor injury,' or 'I dyed my hair' again, I'll, I'll never talk to you again!"

When she said "I'll never talk to you again," her voice suddenly dropped, as if she didn't even believe it herself.

After all, she herself wasn't sure if she could really ignore that stupid dragon knight.

Thinking of this, Eluvia sniffed and added, somewhat hesitantly:

"I'm serious! You...you can't fool me. Tell me honestly, what exactly happened?"

Luo Ye looked at her red eyes, at her terrified yet still stern and fierce expression, and remained silent for a long time.

Then he sighed softly.

"...Alright, since you've asked so sincerely, I'll tell you."

He blinked innocently, his tone frank yet narcissistic: "I just thought this look would be cooler, so I did it secretly. As for the Silver Moon Spear, I used it to cut my hair and accidentally hurt myself."

"Don't you think this look is cool?"

"..." Eluvia was speechless for a moment.

She found herself unable to refute this jerk's logic.

Damn it, what's so great about being handsome! You narcissist!

[System Evaluation: Host, your move to change the subject was indeed smooth, but I suggest you don't get your hopes up.]

Looking at her adorable, puffed-up face, red eyes, and pitiful expression, Luo Ye chuckled and reached out to pull her back into his arms.

He gently stroked her long hair with his palm, smoothing her tense and trembling back little by little, and held her firmly in his warm embrace.

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore."

He lowered his head, his thin lips close to her hot, red earlobe, his voice low and gentle, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe: "Don't worry, I'm really fine, I'm not lying to you."

"Besides, you've grown up now, and I'll have to rely on you to take care of me from now on. My good days have only just begun."

Eluvia buried her face in his warm chest and let out a muffled groan. The fingers that were gripping his clothes tightened even more, refusing to loosen their grip even slightly.

"If you dare to lie to me, run away secretly, or get into trouble, I'll... I'll..."

"You're going to bite me, aren't you?" Luo Ye laughed as he finished her sentence.

"Yes! I'll bite you to death!" Her muffled voice carried a heavy nasal tone, yet it concealed a deep dependence and obsession.

【Elvia - Wings of Eternal Night Affection Level: 101 (Overflow)】

[System Reminder: Your current favorability rating has exceeded the normal threshold. The Eternal Night Dragon King now considers you irreplaceable in this life, and anyone who attempts to harm you will suffer her indiscriminate and devastating attacks.]

The two snuggled together tenderly for a moment, and the tense atmosphere eased slightly. Suddenly, Eluvia lifted her head from his arms, and a determined light flashed in her golden eyes.

"I'm going to find the Grand Elder!"

Luo Ye's gentle smile froze slightly for a moment.

Done!

"The Grand Elder has lived for 30,000 years and has extensive knowledge. He can cure all kinds of difficult diseases and damage to the very essence of things! He definitely has a way to deal with your hair turning white—"

Eluvia spoke hurriedly, trying to break free from his embrace and get out of bed immediately. She couldn't wait a moment longer and just wanted to heal him right away.

Luo Ye's heart tightened:

No, what if that old fox, the First Elder, can't withstand the pressure and sells me out again?

That old fox, every plan he makes seems perfect, but he always ends up screwing himself over!

Thinking of this, Luo Ye grabbed Eluvia's wrist and pulled her back into his arms.

"etc."

Eluvia was taken aback by his sudden serious aura. She subconsciously stopped all her movements and looked at him obediently, her eyes full of doubt.

Luo Ye's previously languid and nonchalant tone instantly turned serious: "I told you, I'm fine. If you don't believe me—"

He paused, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, his tone carrying a deliberate provocation: "Why don't you verify it yourself?"

Eluvia paused for a moment, then asked, "...Verification? How do we verify it?"

"It's very simple."

Luo Ye slowly propped himself up, placing one hand firmly on the obsidian wall beside her, and leaned slightly forward, completely encircling her between the wall and his chest.

His warm breath gently landed on her forehead, and they were so close that they could clearly feel each other's heartbeats.

"Is this verification method acceptable?"

Eluvia was stunned. A wall slam? Is this appropriate so early in the morning?

No, now is not the time to think about that—

Her ear tips instantly turned bright red, burning hot as if they were about to smoke. She panicked instantly, her dragon tail swaying nervously and helplessly under her skirt. Her eyes darted left and right, and she didn't dare to look directly into his deep eyes.

"Why are you suddenly getting so close! Don't try to change the subject with that trick! I'm going to see the Grand Elder today—"

Before she could finish her hurried and fragmented words, a pair of warm and soft lips suddenly covered hers, gently yet forcefully silencing all her unspoken words.

Eluvia's mind went completely blank for a moment.

She could feel his breathing—steady and long, without the slightest hint of weakness.

His heartbeat—steady and strong—kept through her clothes, making her chest tingle.

His arm was around her waist, his strength steady and firm, not like that of a dying person, but more like that of a beast that had just awakened.

The sticky, ambiguous kiss only ended when the two were almost suffocating.

Eluvia was panting heavily, her cheeks flushed, her golden vertical pupils glistening with tears, as she leaned softly against him, her legs trembling.

Looking at her like this, Luo Ye lowered his head and whispered in her ear, a hint of triumph in his voice: "How about it? Is the proof sufficient?"
