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

Eluvia subconsciously activated her soul connection, trying to probe Luo Ye's condition, but instead bumped into a thin silver barrier.

This unfamiliar silver barrier tightly enveloped the two-way soul contract, making her investigation blurry and fragmented, unable to capture any specific images or auras.

One could only vaguely sense that Luo Ye was in a stable and safe state, without any injury, danger, or fierce fighting; everything seemed peaceful and normal.

It was precisely because she couldn't perceive anything that the unease in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

She felt as if something had been secretly covered up; the surface was calm, but she didn't know what was hidden underneath.

"Well……"

Eluvia, who was in a deep sleep, trembled slightly with her long eyelashes and finally slowly opened her eyes.

The gilded vertical pupils slowly lit up in the dark purple mist, like two amber beads emerging from the darkness.

"...What happened?"

She looked down at her chest; her heart was beating steadily and firmly, her injuries were healing normally, and her physical condition was even steadily improving.

Eluvia tilted her head slightly, her dark purple nose twitching gently as she carefully sniffed all the scents emanating from the contract link.

The signals transmitted back from the soul connection were only pure peace; there was no pain, no tension, no danger, no magical outbursts—everything seemed perfect.

But this deliberate calmness gave her a strong sense of crisis.

"Could it be that that stupid dragon knight secretly got injured and deliberately hid it from me?" she muttered to herself, her dragon tail unconsciously carving shallow grooves in the smooth stone ground.

wrong.

If the body is damaged or the essence is injured, the soul contract will definitely transmit pain signals and life value warnings immediately, and will never be so unresponsive.

"Did he sneak off to the back mountain to hunt high-level magical beasts and get into trouble? Or is he messing around with something stupid again?"

The more she thought about it, the more logical it seemed.

If Luo Ye secretly went to the back mountain to hunt high-level magical beasts and accidentally got injured and collapsed in a cave, Salta might not discover him until the next day during patrol.

Salta may be a big guy and good at fighting, but having him take care of people is less useful than having an Ironback Rhinoceros knit a sweater.

Her dragon knight was someone who was too proud to admit his mistakes and would rather suffer than ask the guards for help.

"Tsk."

No. We can't delay any longer.

The languid sleepiness in Eluvia's eyes vanished completely, and shadow elements visibly began to stir around her.

Instead of the original slow and steady healing rhythm, he actively activated his primal power to forcibly accelerate the repair process.

A massive amount of dense shadow element was forcibly extracted from the depths of the underground dragon veins and surged wildly into her dragon scales and meridians.

The originally slow and gentle healing pace suddenly doubled, with the progress of injury repair in each hour being equivalent to a whole day of arduous training in the past.

The jet-black dragon wings trembled slightly, and the dark purple light mist around the dragon surged violently, making the aura of the entire Dragon Origin Palace even more violent and fierce.

At this moment, all Ailuvia wanted was to recover from her injuries as soon as possible, emerge from seclusion as soon as possible, and return to Luo Ye's side as soon as possible.

—Her dragon knight is someone only she can bully.

Others can't do it, Warcraft can't do it, and even he himself can't do it.

Unseen by her, the silver membrane covering the soul connection was beginning to show subtle cracks as her subconscious awakened.

The epic battle between the two dragon kings, Eluvia, the Wings of Eternal Night, and Serafina, the Moonlight Chant, has finally begun.

The following morning, the thick fog that had shrouded the entire Evernight Mountains finally dissipated, and the layers of dark clouds vanished completely, ushering in a long-awaited clear day.

While the sky outside the window was bright and clear, Luo Ye inside the room spent the entire night without sleeping, barely closing her eyes.

He lay flat on the soft bed, exhausted but wide awake, his mind replaying every scene from Silver Moon Peak the day before.

Seraphina's silvery-white eyes gleamed gently in the moonlight; the curve of her silver hair as she tiptoed to kiss him; the feel of her fine scales gliding against his skin as her dragon tail wrapped around his waist in the hot spring; and her figure standing in the morning light, watching him depart at their farewell...

Ambiguous scenes kept swirling and replaying in my mind, refusing to leave.

Luo Ye turned over irritably, burying her face in the soft pillow and letting out a long, helpless sigh.

"What am I doing...?"

His heart was filled with complex entanglements and contradictions.

On one side is Serafina, the Silver Moon Dragon King, with whom he has just formed a deep bond, spent a passionate night together, and established a dual soul resonance. The bond between the two is ambiguous and profound, far exceeding an ordinary contractual relationship.

Meanwhile, on the other side, there was the little black dragon, Eluvia, who was forcibly accelerating her healing and completely secluded in the underground Dragon Source Palace.

He was caught between the two supreme dragon kings, like a thin rope being pulled by both ends, which could break completely at any moment.

No, I can't let my mind wander anymore!

Luo Ye shook his head violently, forcibly suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind and forcing himself to calm down.

He was currently deep within the heart of the Eternal Night Dragon's Nest, where Eluvia could emerge from seclusion at any moment. Their soul contracts were tightly intertwined, meaning any unusual emotional fluctuation could be detected and perceived by the other.

Although the Moonlight Isolation spell that Serafina cast on him before she left was effective, Luo Ye knew in his heart that it wouldn't last long.

He knew Eluvia all too well.

That seemingly arrogant, clingy, and occasionally temperamental little black dragon is actually terrifyingly perceptive, with a delicate and vigilant mind. She can accurately detect even the slightest abnormality.

Luo Ye took a deep breath, her chest heaving, forcibly clearing all the chaotic images and thoughts from her mind. She slowly closed her eyes, intending to take advantage of the early morning break to catch up on sleep, recharge her energy, and stabilize her condition.

He took a deep breath, lay back down, closed his eyes, and prepared to catch up on some sleep before dawn.

Then—footsteps came from outside the door.

The person who came walked very lightly, deliberately slowing their pace, as if afraid of waking the people inside.

But the stone floor of the Dragon's Nest was too hard, and even the lightest footsteps inevitably made a slight sound, one after another, slowly approaching from the other end of the corridor, and finally stopping outside his door.

The next moment—thump, thump, thump.

Third tone.

It was slow and steady, with a clear sense of respect and caution, completely different from Salta's aggressive style of banging on doors with his claws out.

Luo Ye's eyes snapped open.

All sleepiness vanished. He sat up, ruffled his hair which was messed up by the pillow, cleared his throat, and said to the door, "Come in."
