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

As soon as the words were spoken, the dark dragon shadow outside the door did not stop, but slowly flapped its wings and flew away. The evening breeze brought by its wings swept across the corridor, and the sound gradually dissipated into the depths of the dragon's nest, eventually returning to silence.

It was as if that fatal revelation was just an illusion, a passing breeze in the night.

But the people inside didn't think so.

The gentle, relaxed smile on Luo Ye's face froze instantly, cracking into a series of cracks.

He felt his blood freeze instantly, his heart pounded wildly, and the violent impact almost drowned out everything around him, making his eardrums buzz.

Salta, that scarred black dragon!

He usually looks like a lazy, seasoned veteran, sleeping on the rock platform all day long, but when it really matters, he's incredibly accurate and ruthless when it comes to stabbing someone in the back!

At the same time, Eluvia's body on her shoulder instantly froze completely.

The soft dragon tail that had been gently wrapped around Luo Ye's neck suddenly tightened!

The force was swift and domineering; the slender dragon body stretched into a straight line, tightly constricting his neck and instantly cutting off most of his breath.

Luo Ye's Adam's apple was stuck painfully, his breathing suddenly became difficult, and his chest felt tight. But what made his scalp tingle even more than the feeling of suffocation was that the little dragon on his shoulder was trembling slightly.

"...What did Salta just say?"

Eluvia slowly turned her small dragon head, her gilded vertical pupils locking onto Luo Ye's eyes without blinking. All the gentleness and stubbornness from before vanished, and her voice was frighteningly cold.

He said, "During the few days I was in seclusion, you weren't cultivating at all on the back mountain?"

"Although Salta is a bit dim-witted and not very efficient, he never lies."

"Where did you go during those few days?"

Luo Ye subconsciously opened his mouth, his language processor overloaded and frantically searching for a feasible explanation and a perfect excuse.

But all the prepared lines and backup plans were crushed one by one under the all-seeing gaze of Eluvia's vertical pupils.

"Your Majesty, please let me explain—this is what happened—"

"explain."

"...I did hunt in the back mountains for a few days, but then I felt my leveling progress was too slow, so I went a bit further away—"

"Far away? How far?"

"It's... a little further than the back mountain—"

Eluvia's tail tightened even more. Luo Ye felt his face turn red: "How far exactly is 'a little further'? Give me a specific place name."

"Uh...you know that direction, it's all mountains and mountains—"

"Stupid dragon knight."

Her tone suddenly became calm, so calm that it sent a chill down Luo Ye's spine.

"You'd better make yourself clear while I still have the patience to listen."

Luo Ye took a deep breath, his neck already constricted so much that he could only take half a breath. Just as he was about to make up a version that sounded somewhat plausible, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Eluvia's small nostrils twitching slightly out of the corner of his eye.

She turned her head away, her gaze shifting from his face to following the faint scent in the air, finally settling on the dark gap under the bed.

Luo Ye followed her gaze, and his heart sank to the soles of his feet.

A corner of the sleeve of the clothes he wore back from Silver Moon Peak was peeking out from the gap under the bed.

This isn't right! He clearly remembers stuffing it in very deep! Could it be a paranormal event?!

Eluvia's golden pupils contracted slightly, and the last trace of warmth in her eyes vanished completely.

Without asking another question, she flapped her small dragon body and flew lightly to the bottom of the bed. With a gentle hook of her sharp and slender dragon claws, she pulled out all the clothes that were folded together.

With a slight flick of its claws, the entire set of clothes unfolded in mid-air, laid out flat under the moonlight, revealing the lingering scent on the fabric.

Eluvia lowered her head, her small nostrils twitching slightly.

The moonlight was cool and clear, and the unique fragrance of the Silver Moon Dragon King Serafina lingered on Luo Ye's clothes.

To the dragons' far more acute sense of smell than any other race, this aura was as clear as striking writing branded upon it—

Seraphine, the Silver Dragon Queen!

Eluvia's petite dragon body froze completely in mid-air, the shadowy aura surrounding her instantly subsided, and her originally graceful dragon wings slowly drooped, the tip of her tail gently touching the stone ground with a dull thud.

Her petite figure seemed to grow slightly larger imperceptibly, and the pressure around her suddenly dropped, with a furious aura quietly spreading throughout the stone chamber.

"This is her scent."

"You went to see her in person while wearing this outfit."

"No, Your Majesty, please listen to me—"

"What did you say?"

"You said you just accidentally fell into a cave in the back mountain, and the cave just happened to have a whole set of air characteristic of Silver Moon Peak? You said the moonlight and floral fragrance on your clothes was blown in by the wind?"

"...This explanation does sound a bit far-fetched."

Eluvia's tail lashed against the edge of the bed, sending a small splatter of stone dust flying. "You know what 'outrageous' means? Then make me something that isn't outrageous!"

Before Luo Ye could respond, Eluvia suddenly opened her dragon mouth and unleashed a burst of extremely hot, dark purple dragon breath!

The dragon's breath landed on the clothes that were stained with the silver moon's aura, and the high temperature instantly swept over the fabric, with a sizzling sound suddenly ringing out.

In the blink of an eye, the entire set of clothes was completely rolled up, charred, and turned into fine ashes, which were gently blown away by the night wind, leaving not a trace behind, and were completely wiped clean.

Before Luo Ye could recover from the shock of his clothes being instantly burned, the light and shadow before him suddenly changed.

Eluvia had turned her head, her golden vertical pupils swirling with a complex mix of anger and hurt. She opened her mouth again—

Another breath of dragon's breath.

This time, the target is him.

Oh no, the Black Dragon King has gone berserk! We're doomed!
