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

Eluvia's voice suddenly rose, and she almost sprang to her feet, her hands hovering in mid-air, wanting to touch him but not daring to, her fingertips trembling:

"What...what's wrong with you? Let me see—"

Luo Ye tilted his head, pressed the back of his hand to his lips, and coughed one last time.

He casually lowered his hand to his side and wiped it clean inside his sleeve.

"fine."

"I just... choked a little."

He turned his head, his deep eyes locking onto her tearful eyes, a smile both alluring and gentle on his face, his tone casual yet seductive:

"Eluvia, don't worry. It's just that you look so beautiful today, and I ate something too nourishing, so my blood rushed to my head and I almost lost control just now."

Eluvia tilted her head, not quite understanding at first.

She stared blankly at the handsome, gentle features of the white-haired boy before her, noticing the faint traces of blood on his face, and then meeting the playful smile that he couldn't hide in his eyes.

Then, he suddenly realized what that damn dragon knight was talking about!

"boom!"

Her cheeks instantly turned bright red, as if she had been hit head-on by her own dragon breath, her face, ears, and neck all tinged with an alluring crimson.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

She pointed at Luo Ye, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

"I've been good-looking for a while now! Why did you have to get a nosebleed today of all days?!"

"Are you just making up an excuse to brush me off because you think I'm stupid?"

She spoke fiercely, but her eyes darted around in a panic, not daring to look directly into Luo Ye's overly affectionate and gentle eyes.

Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest, so hard that it made her panic. She felt as if everyone in the quiet meditation room could hear her frantic heartbeat.

Looking at her adorable, coy, and shy demeanor, Luo Ye felt a surge of tenderness welling up in his eyes, and he chuckled softly.

He reached up and pulled his sleeve over his shoulder, calmly wiping away the blood from under his nose. He showed no embarrassment at having overdone a nosebleed; instead, he exuded a casual and alluring charm.

"This is no excuse."

He looked up, his gaze falling directly on her flushed face, and said in a seductive tone, "Your Majesty looks more handsome today than ever before. I just couldn't keep my composure for a moment."

"Shut up! Don't say another word!"

Eluvia couldn't take it anymore. She stomped her little foot and quickly turned her back to him, leaving Luo Ye with only a flushed back of her head and bright red ear tips. Her voice was soft and sweet, full of shy panic:

"Stop changing the subject! Wipe your nosebleed first! Don't talk nonsense anymore!"

[System's hilarious comment: You managed to smooth things over like that? Host, with that mouth of yours, it's a real waste that you don't charm the entire continent!]

Luo Ye shook his head with a helpless smile, his eyes filled with an unyielding tenderness.

For the next half hour, Eluvia completely changed her previous rough feeding method, transforming from a "forced feeding worker" into a meticulous and rigorous personal nutritionist.

Instead of stuffing the spiritual materials into Luo Ye's mouth all at once, she picked up each of the rare and precious herbs and examined them carefully, staring intently at the spiritual patterns on their surfaces, bringing them to her nose to gently smell their medicinal properties, and repeatedly confirming their mildness.

When she encountered a medicinal material whose properties she was unsure of or whose effects she feared were too strong and might harm her, she would break off a small piece and carefully put it in her mouth to taste it first, savoring the strength of its medicinal properties.

Only after confirming that it is gentle and harmless and will not overload Luo Ye's body will it be placed to his lips.

However, her method of testing the poison was both adorable and perfunctory.

She first picked up a dark green bitter leaf fruit, broke off a small piece, and put it in her mouth.

The next second, her whole face scrunched up – her eyebrows furrowed into a V-shape, her nose twitched slightly, and the corners of her mouth turned down uncontrollably, looking like she had just taken a bite of an unripe wild persimmon.

She quickly tossed the fruit aside, secretly stuck out her tongue, cleared her throat with feigned composure, and turned to Luo Ye, saying in a serious tone, "Hmm... this is a bit astringent, not very tasty, skip it!"

Luo Ye almost burst out laughing when he saw her little expression—her eyes reddening from holding back her laughter—as she forced herself to maintain the dignity of the Dragon King.

She picked up another golden honey fruit, and this time she was smarter. She first tentatively licked it with the tip of her tongue, and her eyes lit up instantly, as if she had discovered a new continent.

"This is sweet! It's delicious!"

She instinctively took another big bite, chewed a couple of times before suddenly remembering she was "testing for poison," and quickly stuffed the remaining half into Luo Ye's mouth: "You, you try some too! This isn't bitter!"

Luo Ye, with half a honey fruit in his mouth, noticed a bit of golden juice still clinging to the corner of her lips and couldn't help but reach out and gently wipe it with his thumb.

Eluvia froze, her dragon tail instantly exploding, but she pretended nothing had happened and continued flipping over the next spirit fruit.

The lingering sensation of being wiped from the corner of her mouth remained on her lips for a long time.

Every time Luo Ye caught a glimpse of her adorable appearance, where she was trying so hard to look mature while secretly suppressing her emotions, he couldn't help but chuckle.

His laughter earned him a fierce glare from Eluvia, who puffed up her cheeks in anger.

Unfortunately, it had no deterrent effect whatsoever; instead, it made her appear even more charming and adorable.

However, the benefits of such meticulous and gentle feeding are still terrifying.

The primordial spiritual power of countless top-tier natural treasures continuously poured into Luo Ye's body, causing his attribute panel to skyrocket and the values ​​to frantically break through the upper limit.

[System Notification: Consuming the SSS-grade rare and precious herb, Azure Water Fruit! Maximum Health +100!]

[System Notification: Consumed SSS-grade rare herb, Star Grass! Maximum Mana +20!]

[System Notification: Consumed SSS-grade rare herb, Ten-Thousand-Year Stone Stalactite! Maximum Health +100! Maximum Stamina +15!]

[System Notification: Consumed SSS-grade rare herb, Dragon Vein Rehmannia Essence! Maximum Strength +10! Maximum Health +100!]

[System Comment: The host's attribute panel is a bit overpowered compared to others at the same level. Seriously, is this the charm of numbers?]

At this moment, Luo Ye's maximum lifespan has reached a terrifying 5,600 points. Just looking at his physical strength on the panel, he is already comparable to many low-level dragons, and his physical foundation far surpasses that of ordinary human powerhouses.

But that damned "100/5600" current health value remained completely unchanged from beginning to end.

A massive amount of spiritual energy circulates and washes over the body, seemingly nourishing the physical body and strengthening its foundation, but in reality, most of it is quietly flowing away, unable to retain even a trace of the original life force.

Just then, deep within Luo Ye's chest, the Fire Dragon King's reverse scale, which had been dormant for years without any movement, quietly cracked open with a fine line.

An extremely domineering fire dragon primordial power slowly overflowed from the crack, spreading along his meridians to his entire body, like a pool of scalding magma flowing in his blood vessels.

Luo Ye frowned slightly, feeling a burning pain in his chest.

However, that power did not cause any substantial damage. Instead, it actively merged into the two existing Dragon King powers within his body, slowly intertwining with other sources, attempting to retain the medicinal power that was being lost.

Unfortunately, it still failed.

This unyielding scale had remained dormant within him for years, but the cracks that had appeared now revealed a truth:

That irritable, straightforward Fire Dragon King seems to have woken up.
