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

Luo Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he was instantly filled with a sense of crisis.

He pretended to be bewildered, looking down and sniffing his cuffs and collar, deliberately acting as if he knew nothing.

"Really? I didn't smell anything. It's probably because Serafina accidentally picked up her scent when she visited Dragon's Nest. She stayed in Dragon's Nest for most of the day that day, so it's normal for her scent to linger. You know about that."

The moment the words left his mouth, Luo Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he realized he had made two fatal mistakes.

First, he should never have brought up Serafina's name; it was just asking for trouble and deliberately igniting his jealousy.

Secondly, he shouldn't have casually added "You know that too"—you could tell from Eluvia's previous reaction that she was extremely resistant to and unwilling to recall anything about the Silver Moon Dragon King's visit that day.

as predicted.

Eluvia's gilded vertical pupils narrowed instantly, all the gentleness and ease in her eyes vanishing, replaced by a faint gloom and jealousy.

The dragon's tail behind it began to sway slowly, the rhythm neither fast nor slow, but each swing was exceptionally heavy, full of a dangerous aura.

"Seraphina..."

She uttered the name softly, her voice low and slightly cool, filled with jealousy and a strong sense of possessiveness.

"It seems you remember her name very well. What? Do you really like that kind of gentle and mature old dragon king who has lived for ten thousand years?"

[System High-Energy Warning! The vinegar jar has completely overturned!]

[Friendly Reminder: Host in Danger! A Deadly Question is Approaching! Answer Wrong and You'll Get a Dragon Breath Bath!]

Luo Ye's brain started working at lightning speed, trying to think of a safe way to answer.

He had intended to say, "That's because she's an old friend of yours," but that excuse would only provoke even more intense jealousy and a face full of dragon's breath.

He decisively abandoned all clumsy explanations, completely avoided all pitfalls, and immediately activated the ultimate dragon-coaxing mode.

"I don't remember what she looked like at all; it's all a blur to me now."

Luo Ye's tone was incredibly sincere, his eyes open and gentle, radiating sweetness to the extreme.

"Even if she is the Silver Moon Dragon King of ten thousand years, she is no match for you. In my eyes, the entire continent and all living beings are no match for our unique and most adorable Eternal Night Wing, Her Majesty Eluvia."

As he uttered those words, an inappropriate image of Seraphina turning her head in the moonlight flashed through his mind.

He quickly suppressed the image, fearing it might be captured by Seraphina's soul connection.

Eluvia's petite dragon body stiffened instantly, and the blush on her ears spread again. The jealousy in her heart was completely dispelled by the sudden sweetness.

Her tail tip wiggled playfully twice involuntarily, but she forced herself to restrain herself and tried to maintain a cool and aloof demeanor.

She awkwardly turned her head away, feigning disdain and scoffing, "You've never even seen my human dragon girl form, yet you spout such empty praise. The books are right, human men are all talk and no action when it comes to flattering dragons. It's all lies."

Luo Ye turned his head to look at her, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Your Majesty, I would never lie. We are partners bound by a life-and-death contract. When have I ever lied to you?"

Eluvia turned her head, her gilded vertical pupils staring straight at him.

Luo Ye met those amber eyes without flinching, his confidence unwavering.

At times like this, if your eyes dart around or even slightly dodge, it confirms you're lying and is practically courting death.

The two stared at each other in silence for a few seconds, the atmosphere subtle and ambiguous.

In the end, it was Eluvia who was the first to look away, seemingly haughty and awkward, but in reality, she had been completely coaxed.

The dragon's tail gently swept across Luo Ye's nape, the force soft and subtle.

"Glib-tongued."

Luo Ye pressed on, her tone tinged with a hint of probing: "Since Your Majesty doesn't believe me, could you please let me see your dragon girl form? To satisfy my curiosity?"

"Dream on!" Eluvia instantly turned her head away haughtily, her dragon tail held straight up.

"We'll talk again when your performance is good enough and completely satisfies me!"

[Elvia - Wings of Eternal Night Affection Level: 62→65]

[System notification: Jealousy crisis perfectly resolved! The sweet moments have been successfully completed, appeasing the proud little dragon!]

[System Commentary: Host's emotional intelligence finally paid off for once. But the Black Dragon's intuition is never wrong; the truth will eventually come out, and the backlash will be doubled. Take heed.]

For the next few hours, the man and the dragon continued to train and grind monsters in the back mountain.

Luo Ye engaged in real close-quarters combat throughout, without any chance of winning by doing nothing. He honed his spear techniques, movement skills, and the rhythm of his dragon power circulation repeatedly, accumulating combat experience at a rapid pace.

Eluvia obediently perched on a high branch and watched the whole thing, without ever intervening by unleashing her dragon's might again.

Occasionally, when he misses a shot or his movements falter, he lets out a light hum with a mocking tone, displaying a detached, amused attitude.

Luo Ye turned around and glared at her helplessly, and she immediately tilted her head and acted cute and silly, which was so lively and cute that it was impossible for anyone to be angry with her.

With each battle against higher-level monsters and the slaying of higher-level magical beasts, Luo Ye's experience points steadily increased, and the fusion of the two dragon powers within him became increasingly sophisticated and fluid.

As darkness fell completely, the setting sun sank deep into the horizon of the rolling mountains, and the last orange glow of the evening slowly faded, the light in the forests dimmed completely.

"I'm not practicing anymore, let's go home."

Eluvia let out a soft, sweet yawn, a hint of weariness in her eyes. Her dragon tail swayed lazily as she gently patted Luo Ye's shoulder.

"I've been training with you for so long, I'm tired, I need to go back and rest."

"Okay." Luo Ye nodded in response, skillfully put away the enchanted spear in his hand, and turned to walk steadily towards the direction of the dragon's nest.

On the way back, the evening breeze was cool, and the mountains and forests were quiet.

Eluvia curled lazily on his shoulder, her dragon tail loosely wrapped around his neck. Her breathing was steady and long, and her warm breath gently swept across his neck. She looked obedient and soft, already half asleep and half awake.

Luo Ye turned his head to look at the little black dragon on his shoulder, who was completely unguarded and trusted him completely. A complex mix of emotions surged in his heart, including guilt, tenderness, trepidation, and determination.

"Your Majesty," he said softly.

"Hmm?" Eluvia mumbled a sleepy reply.

Luo Ye was silent for a moment, then gently shook his head, a tender smile appearing in his eyes: "It's nothing, go to sleep."

Eluvia didn't ask any more questions, but gently tugged at his collar with the tip of her tail, as if in silent response and dependence, before falling into a light sleep.

Back in the magnificent and solemn dragon's nest, Luo Ye carefully carried the sleeping little black dragon from his shoulder back to its private chambers.

Watching her curled up obediently on the soft, luxurious dragon bed, her eyes closed, her breathing steady, completely relaxed and sound asleep.

He stood quietly for a moment before turning around and leaving the bedchamber, gently closing the door behind him.

Returning to his room, Luo Ye closed the heavy stone door behind him and let out a long breath of pent-up stale air.

He has been walking on the edge of a knife all day.

Eluvia's senses were sharper than he had imagined. She not only smelled the lingering moonlight on him, but also sensed the unfamiliar power within him that did not belong to the Shadow Dragon Force.

He only managed to get away with it today by sheer luck. If he continues to delay and doesn't take action, it won't be long before she discovers all the secrets and exposes all his concealments.

Luo Ye walked to the window and quietly gazed at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky. His gaze was calm and firm, with no trace of relaxation in his eyes.

He must expedite all plans and resolve all issues thoroughly before the truth is revealed.

Just as he was deep in thought and secretly deciding on his next move, a series of rapid flapping sounds came from outside the door.

The next second, the heavy stone door was violently smashed open by a small yet domineering force.

Eluvia, who had just fallen asleep, flew in. Her small dragon body, carrying the coolness of the night breeze, looked directly at Luo Ye, who was standing against the wall.

Luo Ye was filled with nervousness and confusion, but she forced a natural smile: "My dear Your Majesty? What brings you here?"

P.S.: I'm currently revising the previous text drastically; many parts are indeed not well written.

I'm a new and inexperienced author, so please bear with me if my writing isn't great. You don't need to reread the previous chapters; they've all been minor revisions, and the overall plot remains the same.

Thank you everyone for your understanding, ღ( ´･ᴗ･` ) Sending love~
