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

Luo Ye shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked quickly towards the storage room.

He reached out and took down two clean, plump, and dried wild rabbits from the sturdy hook, and then grabbed a few dried and fragrant secret-recipe spice herbs, his movements skillful and efficient.

Eluvia flapped her thin dragon wings and followed him closely into the kitchen, obediently squatting on the edge of the warm stove.

A pair of bright, gilded vertical pupils stared intently at his every move, their gaze glued to him, unable to look away. The dragon tail behind them swayed gently, its appearance docile and soft, just like a little gluttonous cat eagerly waiting to be fed.

Luo Ye skillfully started a fire and lit the charcoal, set up the grill, and methodically processed the ingredients.

The firm, air-dried rabbit meat is briefly soaked in warm water, which slowly restores its tender texture.

He carefully trimmed the edges with a sharp knife, then repeatedly patted the meat with the back of the knife to loosen the firm fibers.

Then, sprinkle fine mineral salt evenly on the rabbit meat, and thickly spread finely ground herbs on the surface. Rub and massage repeatedly with your palms to allow the aroma and saltiness to penetrate the meat thoroughly, ensuring that every bite is full of flavor.

The open flame licked the skin of the rabbit meat, and the oil sizzled and dripped, falling onto the charcoal and splashing up tiny sparks.

The rich, mellow aroma of caramelized meat, mixed with the refreshing scent of herbs and spices, and a hint of fruity fragrance, quickly filled the entire kitchen, spreading its aroma and whetting one's appetite.

Eluvia's small nostrils twitched rapidly as she greedily inhaled the fragrance in the air. Her golden pupils widened, growing brighter and brighter, and the anticipation in her eyes was almost overflowing.

In contrast, Luo Ye's mind wasn't on the tempting grilled meat at all.

He glanced furtively at the little black dragon nestled obediently against his shoulder, his heart pounding with anxiety and unease. His mind raced, frantically considering all sorts of possible escape plans and ways to conceal the truth.

At this moment, he truly understood just how clingy and obsessive Elvia was after her favorability rating broke through sixty points.

From the moment she emerged from quarantine until now, in the short span of time, she has been clinging to him almost the entire time.

It would either obediently perch on his shoulder, lazily lie on his head, or, like now, curl up into a soft, cuddly ball, nestled against his neck and collarbone.

The slender dragon tail was tightly wrapped around his neck, and the tip of the tail would occasionally brush against his skin, touching and rubbing against him affectionately every few seconds, as if repeatedly confirming that he was still by his side and would not leave.

In the past, even if she was clingy and dependent, she would still maintain the aloofness and pride of the Dragon King, occasionally complaining that he was stupid and silly, and pretending to be cold and distant.

But now, they don't even bother with complaining anymore. They practically want the whole dragon hanging on him, openly relying on and possessing him, their faces practically screaming "I'm going to stick to you."

This overwhelming possessiveness is truly frightening.

Luo Ye silently grumbled in his heart, but his hands never stopped turning the meat over, steadily controlling the heat throughout.

He was truly terrified at that moment.

It wasn't just because he secretly accepted the life-or-death curse-breaking mission without her knowledge.

Furthermore, everything that happened on Silvermoon Peak—the double dragon contract binding, intimate contact, and the ambiguous entanglement in the hot springs—was a forbidden secret that Eluvia absolutely could not know.

Once exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable, and I might even lose my life.

Although you won't actually die as a player, it still hurts a lot; the pain simulation is 100% real!

Moreover, wouldn't that be a disgrace to the corner game creators?

While mechanically sprinkling spices on the roasted meat and flipping it over, Luo Ye meticulously planned the next steps in his mind.

The Shadow Core must be obtained, the Silver Moon Heart must be borrowed, and the steps of sacrificing one's heart's blood cannot be omitted.

Each of these three key steps to breaking the curse is inseparable from Eluvia.

However, given the little black dragon king's obsessive jealousy and domineering nature, if he knew the truth in advance, he would definitely stop him immediately and forcefully. He would rather bear the curse for the rest of his life and lose his life than let him risk his life and sacrifice himself.

"Is it not ready yet? I'm starving!"

He heard Eluvia's soft, slightly urgent voice urging him from his shoulder, her soft dragon tail gently patting the back of his neck, instantly pulling Luo Ye back to reality from his chaotic thoughts.

"Almost there." Luo Ye steadily flipped the meat over, ensuring every inch was heated evenly, his tone gentle and indulgent.

"Your Majesty has been in seclusion for so long, why is your temperament still so impatient, you have no patience at all?"

"I'm not in a hurry, I'm just showing my utmost respect for your skills!" Eluvia retorted confidently, her little mouth slightly pouting, but her bright, gilded vertical pupils had already revealed her greedy anticipation.

Luo Ye couldn't help but chuckle, not exposing her hypocritical little act. He took the roasted rabbit meat, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, from the iron rack and placed it steadily on a clean stone plate.

I also casually sliced ​​a few pieces of the sweet and juicy moon fruit and placed them on the side as a side dish to cut through the richness. The presentation was exquisite and thoughtful.

He steadily handed the stone plate to Eluvia, a faint smile in his eyes: "Your Majesty, please have some and taste my cooking."

Eluvia's small nostrils twitched slightly as she took a deep breath of the rich aroma of meat. Her gilded vertical pupils instantly shone brightly, her eyes sparkling.

But she still maintained her haughty demeanor, holding her chin high, and gave a nonchalant snort: "Hmph, it looks barely passable, just barely enough to catch my eye."

They complained verbally, but their actions betrayed them completely.

She slightly opened her small mouth, precisely bit the edge of the rabbit leg, and gently tore off a piece of fragrant and tender meat.

At first, he maintained the elegance and composure of a dragon king, chewing slowly in small bites. But after a few seconds, he couldn't resist the temptation of the aroma and started chewing faster and faster.

Finally, it simply stretched out its two tiny dragon claws, firmly hugged the rabbit legs that were even bigger than its own head, buried its head in its food, and ate heartily. Its cheeks were bulging out, like two round walnuts, making it incredibly cute.

Luo Ye stared blankly at Eluvia, who was engrossed in eating, and the complex and heavy thoughts in his heart were somewhat eased by her gluttonous and adorable appearance.

Elvia, who was engrossed in her munching, suddenly stopped, finally noticing the overly focused gaze.

She slowly raised her head, a trace of glistening meat juice still clinging to the corner of her mouth. Her gilded vertical pupils held a mixture of confusion, wariness, and discomfort from being stared at for too long. With her round cheeks puffed out, she mumbled indistinctly:

"...What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a dragon eat before?"

PS: Damn it, why do I need to be LV4 to post illustrations? I can't even post pictures of the dragon girls!

Thank you all for your support! I'm a newbie author and I will work hard!
