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

In the same instant, Eluvia, who was lazily sunbathing on the pedestal, was completely awakened.

She stood up abruptly, her eyes snapping open, a sharp wariness flashing in her gilded vertical pupils, her previous languor and dazedness vanishing completely.

The petite dragon tensed and exerted its strength, spreading its wings and taking off into the air. In an instant, it landed on Luo Ye's shoulder, and its slender tail wrapped around his neck, clinging to his skin. The entire dragon entered a state of alertness to protect its master.

The dragon's tail wasn't wrapped too tightly, so it wouldn't hurt him, but the sense of possession and declaration of ownership was direct and strong.

"Seraphina?" Eluvia's tone was full of displeasure and surprise. "What's she doing here in Eternal Night? The Silver Dragons are really just looking for trouble!"

Luo Ye could clearly feel the cool touch of the dragon scales on his neck, and through his skin, he could sense the tense emotions of the black dragon on his shoulder, as well as the restlessness transmitted synchronously through their soul connection.

He gently smoothed the scales on the dragon's back on her shoulder, his tone softening to reassure her: "Don't be nervous, maybe she's just passing by."

"Just passing by?" Eluvia's tone was full of disbelief and snort.

"Passing by Silvermoon Peak to the Eternal Night Dragon's Nest? Does she think I'm a three-year-old dragon?"

Luo Ye fell silent, because he also felt that the explanation of "passing by" was not very credible.

But Seraphina had already arrived, and they couldn't just leave her out—though Eluvia really wanted to.

Before the words were finished, a gentle and restrained magical touch came from the outermost layer of the thick shadow defense barrier of the dragon's nest.

The force was extremely light, like a visitor politely raising their hand to knock on the gate of a courtyard; the sense of proportion was just right, leaving no room for provocation.

Eluvia's expression worsened. With a wave of her dragon claw, she opened a small opening in the barrier, allowing only Serafina to enter and preventing the silver dragon's followers from following.

Without hesitation, the newcomer passed through the barrier via the gap and landed on the stone platform outside the dragon's nest.

Luo Ye followed Eluvia out of the main hall and saw that familiar silver-white figure in the distance.

Serafina remained in her human form as a dragon girl, her long, silver-white, form-fitting robe outlining her slender and elegant figure. Her long, silver-white hair cascaded down to her waist like moonlight, swaying gently in the morning breeze.

She stood on the platform at the entrance to the Dragon's Nest, holding a small, exquisite wooden gift box in her hand. Behind her were a sea of ​​clouds and the rising sun, making her look like a goddess who had stepped out of the moon palace.

Unlike yesterday in the valley, she was clearly dressed up carefully today—

The curls at the ends of her hair were just right, a silver moonlight brooch was pinned to the collar of her robe, and even her lips had a very faint pearly sheen.

She held a small wooden box in her hand and stood at the entrance of the dragon's nest with a calm and elegant demeanor, as if she were just a neighbor visiting, rather than a dragon king who did not have a good relationship with the owner of the dragon's nest.

Alarm bells rang in Luo Ye's mind.

As Serafina watched the two walk out side by side, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. Her smile was noble and elegant, neither overly enthusiastic nor overly familiar: "We meet again, Mr. Dragon Knight."

Then she turned to Eluvia, a mischievous smile playing on her silver eyes: "And you, Eluvia. Aren't you happy to see me?"

Ailuvia perched on Luo Ye's shoulder, her gilded vertical pupils staring coldly at her, her tone utterly impolite: "You're not welcome. Go back."

"Since you're not welcome, then I'll stay and sit for a while." Serafina's smile remained unchanged. She had long since figured out the Black Dragon King's stubborn nature. Carrying the wooden box, she stepped directly past the two of them and gracefully entered the Dark Main Hall. Her aura was relaxed, as if she were stepping into her own Silver Moon Temple.

As she passed by Luo Ye, her long, silvery-white hair gently brushed against the morning breeze, carrying a faint scent of moonlight and flowers—a scent that was cool and lingering, exactly the same as the one she had when she was on Silver Moon Peak.

Luo Ye subconsciously held his breath, his muscles stiffening slightly.

Elvia and Luo Ye exchanged a glance.

Her gilded vertical pupils seemed to ask: What exactly is she here for?

Luo Ye's eyes responded: I don't know, I'm just as confused as you are.

Eluvia narrowed her eyes slightly and added: You'd better really not know.

Luo Ye blinked innocently, trying his best to convey his innocence: I really didn't know!

Serafina stood in the center of the main hall, surveying her surroundings. Her silver eyes swept over the crystal starry sky of the dome, the magical veins on the obsidian walls, and the imposing black dragon pedestal at the very center. She nodded slightly.

"It's been centuries since I've been here, and the concentration of shadow elements in your dragon's nest has only increased. It's just that the lighting is a bit poor—no wonder you're so irritable. Nobody's going to be in a good mood if they're in such a dark place all day."

Elvia flew off Luo Ye's shoulder and landed on the dragon's nest base. She resumed her upright sitting posture in her miniature form and said in a cold tone, "You didn't come here just to comment on my renovations, did you?"

"Of course not."

Serafina sat down on a stone bench on one side of the main hall, her posture as elegant as if she were sitting on her own throne. She placed the wooden box in her hand on the stone table beside her, and with a gentle push of her slender fingers, the lid of the box opened with a click.

The box was lined with a layer of silver-white silk cushions, and in the very center was a crystal bottle. The bottle was crystal clear and contained half a bottle of silvery liquid.

The liquid seemed alive, flowing slowly within the crystal bottle, each rotation bringing forth tiny, star-like silvery-white sparkles.

Before the bottle cap was even opened, a sweet floral fragrance quietly wafted out, filling the entire main hall—rich yet not cloying, sweet yet not vulgar.

"This is Moonlight Honey Dew, a specialty of Silvermoon Peak. It's made primarily from the Moonflower flower, which blooms only once every three hundred years, supplemented with ancient silver dragon scale powder, and refined over a gentle fire for fifty years to become a paste." Serafina looked at Luo Ye, her tone still cool and languid.

"It has a remarkable effect on healing old injuries, especially—"

She paused deliberately, a hint of mockery flashing in her silver eyes. "—An old wound in my throat. Mr. Dragon Knight, would you like to try it now?"

Luo Ye: "..."

He stood there, feeling a thin layer of sweat seep out of his back in a fraction of a second.

So she's really going to keep pressing the issue, huh?

A very faint, crisp sound came from the base next to them, like a dragon's claw scraping across a stone surface.

Out of the corner of Luo Ye's eye, he saw Eluvia's dragon tail drawing slow, irregular arcs on the floor—

Her face still wore that icy, observing expression, but all the instinctive reactions she used to control her inner emotions were transferred to her tail.

Luo Ye kept his expression steady, tried his best to keep his voice level, and spoke in a natural and calm tone, without any flaws:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. My old throat injury has been recovering very well in the past few days and is basically healed. There is no need to trouble you with the holy medicine."

"Is that so?" Serafina tilted her head to look at him, her smile deepening, pressing him relentlessly without backing down.

"But your voice was still very hoarse yesterday. You're completely cured overnight? Why don't you try some? The medicine is very effective and leaves no lingering effects."
