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

Luo Ye immediately closed his eyes, wisely choosing to play dead and remain silent. He simply lowered his neck a little, burying most of his face in the warm pool water, trying to avoid her unrestrained teasing.

Seeing his embarrassed and evasive appearance, Serafina did not continue to ask questions or tease him. Instead, she slowly withdrew her swaying long legs, and the hem of her silver robe fell steadily, covering her fair skin.

She sat quietly in the sunlight, letting the warm light bathe her, her posture elegant and dignified, as if she were sitting on the highest throne, aloof and noble, untouched by worldly dust.

A full half-hour soak in the hot spring completely washed away all of Luo Ye's fatigue.

All the hidden injuries accumulated in his body were completely healed, and the Moonflower Dragon Power was refined to become more and more pure and condensed. Even the Dark Gold Dragon Power, which originally had conflicting attributes, became more and more active and docile under the nourishment of the same source of spiritual energy, and the compatibility of the two dragon powers steadily improved once again.

Luo Ye raised his hand to support himself on the edge of the pool, stood up nimbly, and the warm pool water slid down his muscles.

He quickly dried himself off, changed into a clean and tidy robe, and felt refreshed and rejuvenated, his physical condition reaching its recent peak.

Serafina had been quietly waiting by the hot spring pool for a long time.

The gentle morning light outlined her slender and delicate profile, her long, silvery-white hair bathed in soft sunlight, cascading loosely over her shoulders.

Backlit, her eyes and brows were clear and bright, her skin was as white as jade, and she was so beautiful that she seemed otherworldly, exuding the aloofness and stunning beauty of a supreme dragon king.

Seeing that Luo Ye was dressed neatly, the surroundings fell into a moment of silence.

Luo Ye coughed lightly, deliberately suppressing the ambiguity and embarrassment in his heart, and tried to keep his tone calm and casual, pretending to be nonchalant: "It's getting late, I should go back."

"Go back where?" Serafina asked knowingly, her silver eyes narrowing slightly.

"...Return to the Dragon's Nest."

"Eluvia's Dragon's Nest?"

"……Um."

Serafina's smile deepened, a soft chuckle escaping her lips, the last syllable rising slightly in a teasing tone: "Oh? Now you know you're afraid she'll find out?"

She tilted her head slightly, her clear silver eyes brimming with mischief, and deliberately took half a step closer to continue teasing:

"Weren't you incredibly bold last night when you were so unrestrained with your dragon horns? Why did you become so furtive and timid the moment we mentioned returning to the dragon's lair at dawn?"

"This is a cautious tactical retreat, not out of fear." Luo Ye immediately straightened his back, correcting himself seriously and forcibly maintaining his dignity.

"Sneaking out to meet the Silver Dragon King, and now sneaking back to hide your tracks." Seraphina's smile remained undiminished as she pressed on.

"Luo Ye, are you sure this isn't just chickening out?"

Luo Ye took a deep breath and was about to speak in rebuttal when Serafina suddenly changed to a languid posture and gently leaned against the edge of the stone railing beside her.

The wide silver robe slipped slightly as she gently lifted her leg, revealing a slender, fair, and beautifully shaped calf.

Her slender toes lightly flicked in the air, gracefully landing on the outside of his calf, slowly rubbing upwards a few inches through the thin trouser leg, the force barely perceptible, a light, ticklish, and alluring touch, as she slowly rubbed upwards a few inches.

The touch was soft and delicate, with a cool and smooth feel on the skin, and an ambiguous itch spread rapidly from the calf to the whole body.

Before Luo Ye could react to this sudden provocation, she had already swiftly withdrawn her long legs, her robes falling back down to cover her completely.

The entire set of movements was fluid and flawless, appearing to be nothing more than a casual shift of weight when she got tired of standing. However, the sly smile in her eyes, which she couldn't hide, completely betrayed her deliberate flirting.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay a few more days?" she asked softly, her tone carrying a hint of lazy reluctance.

"No." Luo Ye shook his head decisively, suppressing the tremor in his heart, and said seriously, "Elvia's seclusion to heal her injuries is almost over, and I must rush back before she completely emerges from seclusion and notices anything amiss."

"Are you sure she can accept everything that happened between us?" Serafina tilted her head slightly, her silver eyes still full of amusement, and asked calmly.

"I'm not sure," Luo Ye admitted frankly, without the slightest hint of prevarication. "But what I have to face, I'll have to face sooner or later; there's no escaping it."

"What if she gets really angry and just grabs you and roasts you?" Serafina asked with a half-smile, her tone tinged with amusement.

"Then I'll ask you for help," Luo Ye blurted out, his tone frank and natural.

Hearing this, Seraphina finally chuckled softly, her eyes softening slightly: "That's more like it. I haven't spoiled you for nothing."

She took a light step forward, instantly closing the distance between them. Their breaths mingled, filling the air with an intimate atmosphere.

"But before you leave—" She tiptoed slightly, her delicate profile close to Luo Ye's ear, her warm, soft breath gently caressing his earlobe and neck, her voice carrying a fatal allure.

"Have you forgotten something very important?"

Luo Ye's body stiffened slightly, his heartbeat suddenly became erratic, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "...What?"

"For example—" Her slender fingertips lightly traced his firm chest, the touch delicate and slightly cool, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"A special farewell kiss?"

Luo Ye took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the agitation in his heart. He lowered his gaze to her silver eyes, which were filled with a playful smile, and said helplessly, "Are you sure this is a proper farewell kiss, or are you just trying to tease me again?"

"Is there a difference?" Seraphina tilted her head, her eyes innocent and clear, yet her tone was incredibly alluring.

"In the end, the result is the same anyway."

Seeing her blatant and wanton flirting, Luo Ye felt a surge of competitive spirit.

He stopped dodging passively, raised his hand and directly embraced her slender and soft waist, pulling her firmly into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her.

Just a second before their lips were about to touch, a smile flashed in Serafina's eyes, and she swiftly and secretly stretched out her long leg, gently tripping his ankle.

Caught off guard, Luo Ye lost his balance and staggered forward half a step.

Serafina seized the opportunity to slip out of his embrace, took two steps back, and looked at him with a smile: "Oh dear, my dragon knight, how could you be so careless?"

Luo Ye quickly regained his balance, looking at her smug and triumphant expression, he was both annoyed and amused: "You did that on purpose?"

"Really?" Serafina blinked her clear silver eyes, feigning innocence. "I was just tired of standing and accidentally stretched my leg."

"Accidentally?" Luo Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, approaching step by step, a domineering smile in his eyes. "I think you were clearly teasing me on purpose."

"So what do you want to do?" Seraphina tilted her head slightly, her silver eyes gleaming with a defiant light, her tone languid yet arrogant.

"Should you lecture me? Scold me? Or...?"

"One more time? Can your little body handle it, huh?"
