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

Before Serafina's provocative words could even finish, Luo Ye's figure had already suddenly accelerated.

Stepping onto the smooth, wet moonstone ground beside the hot spring pool, he dashed out step by step, his figure so swift that only a blur remained, his fingertips aimed directly at her pair of hidden and delicate dragon horns concealed in the gaps of her fluffy, silvery-white hair.

"you--"

Serafina froze instantly, and the smug, relaxed, and all-encompassing smile that had been on her lips shattered in an instant.

Those usually aloof and dignified silver eyes suddenly narrowed, the composure and calmness in them completely shattered, replaced by panic and a tingling sensation.

She subconsciously twisted her waist slightly, trying to back away and dodge.

But Luo Ye was faster than her—his fingertips precisely touched the pair of small, silvery-white dragon horns, gently playing with them.

"--Um!"

A short, soft, and muffled groan escaped uncontrollably from Serafina's taut throat.

A delicate, tingling sensation exploded from the base of the dragon horn, rushing through the meridians and blood vessels to the limbs.

Her tall, slender body trembled violently, her legs went weak and powerless, as if all her strength had been drained away in an instant. She staggered forward uncontrollably, completely losing the strength to stand.

Luo Ye had anticipated this, and tightened his arms accordingly, firmly supporting her slender and supple waist, pulling the flustered and soft dragon body tightly into his embrace.

He slowly withdrew his other hand from the warm dragon horn, raised it and placed it on her pert breasts, striking her with a light and crisp motion.

"Snapped!"

A crisp, loud sound suddenly erupted beside the quiet hot spring in the back mountain, exceptionally clear and pleasant to the ear.

In that instant, the Silver Dragon King, who had lived for thousands of years, ruled Silver Moon Peak, and was worshipped and revered by the dragon race, froze completely in his arms, his breath suddenly stopping.

Her pupils dilated slightly, her clear silver eyes filled with disbelief as she stared blankly up at the boy in front of her.

He actually... hit her?! Did he even know what he was doing?!

Looking at her shocked expression, Luo Ye slowly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a triumphant smile:

"So? Now it's clear who's flirting with whom, isn't it?"

Serafina raised her slender white hand and gently pressed the base of the burning, tingling dragon horn. The lingering aftertaste of the explosive tingling sensation still remained deep in her soul, and the lingering soreness lingered, making her mind sway.

She raised her eyes and stared intently at Luo Ye, her clear silver eyes swirling with a complex mix of emotions: intense anger, shame, and resentment layered upon each other, along with a barely perceptible, secret excitement.

The domineering aura of control and composure he had exuded just moments before had completely vanished. Even his tone of voice had weakened, carrying a hint of helplessness at having his weakness exploited: "Are you deliberately retaliating against me?"

"It's not revenge." Luo Ye gently released his arm from her waist, standing tall and straight by the hot spring pool, his tone frank and carefree, without a trace of guilt.

"It's just a matter of reciprocity."

Serafina stood firmly in place, the cool mountain breeze carrying the steam from the hot springs gently ruffling her long, silvery-white hair that cascaded over her shoulders, strands of hair fluttering lightly in the wind.

She stood there quietly, her silver eyes fixed on Luo Ye before her, a complex mix of emotions churning within them.

This mere human dragon knight is getting bolder and bolder.

"Reciprocity?"

Serafina repeated those four words softly, her voice slightly cool at the end. A dangerous, dark glint suddenly flashed in her originally clear and gentle silver eyes, and the oppressive aura of the Silver Dragon King quietly spread out.

"Insolence." She slightly raised her chin, her tone carrying a lazy yet cold sharpness.

"By wantonly touching the sacred horn of the Dragon Clan and publicly striking the body of the Dragon King, according to the ironclad rules of the Silver Dragon Clan, this crime is enough for me to hang you on the precipice of Silver Moon Peak for ten thousand years, to be tempered by the fierce winds day and night, without any release."

"You think you can settle things completely with me with just a casual remark about exchanging gifts?"

An intense dragon aura slowly descended, and the air seemed to freeze slightly.

Luo Ye instantly sensed that something was wrong. A slight chill ran down the back of her neck, and a sense of foreboding rose in her heart. She subconsciously wanted to step back and create a safe distance.

But he was still a step too slow for disaster.

Serafina's speed was ridiculously fast, completely beyond the range of the naked eye. Her silvery-white figure flashed past in the morning light, leaving only a faint streak of light.

Luo Ye felt a soft, cool force suddenly trip her ankle, causing her to lose her balance and fall forward uncontrollably.

"Thump!"

A loud splash suddenly rang out, and countless silvery water droplets splashed everywhere. The warm Moonlight Spring water instantly enveloped him completely, soaking his clothes.

Luo Ye had half his body submerged in the pool. He raised his hand to wipe the warm spring water flowing down his face, brushed aside the wet hair sticking to his forehead, and was about to complain when he looked up and met the figure of the girl by the pool.

Serafina stood quietly by the edge of the hot spring, the hem of her silver-white robe fluttering gently in the mountain breeze, her figure elegant and noble.

Her lips curled up in a smile, a smile Luo Ye knew all too well—a teasing, playful smile, like a cat catching a mouse—and her eyes gleamed with triumph.

"Your Majesty, this was a deliberate sneak attack—"

Before Luo Ye could finish his explanation, Serafina had already gracefully leaped into the warm hot spring pool.

A pristine, flowing silver robe billowed gently on the clear water, its layers of fabric swaying and undulating like a moonlit flower suddenly blooming on the lake's surface—gentle yet alluring.

She gracefully submerged into the water, and the next second she emerged from the water not far in front of Luo Ye. Her wet, silvery-white hair clung to both sides of her delicate face, outlining her perfect jawline.

The translucent water droplets slid slowly down the contours of her slender jaw, landing on the rippling water and creating tiny ripples.

"How was it?" She tilted her head slightly, her clear silver eyes filled with a provocative smile, her tone languid and smug.

"Now, is it completely even?"

Luo Ye looked up at her wet appearance, and his heart involuntarily accelerated, a restless heat spreading through his veins.

The silver robe, soaked by the spring water, clung completely to her skin, shedding the looseness and concealment of her usual robes, perfectly outlining her slender waist and graceful figure, every inch of her silhouette was extremely captivating.

Crystal-clear water droplets rolled slowly on her fair and delicate collarbone, shimmering with a faint, dazzling light under the morning sun, instantly creating an atmosphere of ambiguity.

"You think you can just drag me into this and call it even?" Luo Ye quickly calmed the turmoil in his heart, and asked with a slightly upturned smile, showing a defiant attitude.

"Otherwise?" Serafina raised an eyebrow slightly, her eyes filled with even more provocation.

"Could it be that our little phallus dragon knight wants to get some more benefits?"
