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

If she didn't go in, she would be left standing foolishly outside the barrier, waiting aimlessly, not knowing how long he would stay inside, or what he and Serafina would be doing alone. Countless suspicions would drive her completely mad.

But if they follow her in—ordinary dragons might not be able to find her, but that woman Serafina would definitely be able to.

That old fox, who's lived so long, has some of the best perception among the dragons. It would be hard for him to sneak into her territory without being discovered.

Eluvia was caught in an unprecedented dilemma.

If she were discovered, the scene would be very awkward—no, not just awkward, but extremely embarrassing.

The mighty Eternal Night Dragon King, secretly following his dragon knight to his mortal enemy's territory in the dead of night, isn't that tantamount to admitting that he can't keep an eye on people and can't live without them?

Eluvia's face scrunched up, her dragon tail thrashing anxiously behind her, her mind a complete mess.

She gritted her teeth, forcing herself to find a plausible reason, brainwashing herself: "This king isn't jealous, and I'm not stalking anyone!"

"I'm worried he'll be tricked by Serafina! That woman is cunning and loves to scheme! If she secretly tries to harm Luo Ye, I need to be able to save him immediately!"

"This is the Dragon King's responsibility, his duty to protect his contractors, and nothing more!"

After repeatedly brainwashing herself, Eluvia finally felt at ease, a stubborn yet resolute glint flashing in her gilded vertical pupils.

I'll wait for half an hour.

If Luo Ye doesn't come out in half an hour, she'll just barge in!

Forget about the Silver Dragon King or anything like that, her dragon knight went to her nemesis's lair in the middle of the night. As the legitimate contracted dragon king, it was only natural for her to go in and find him!

If Seraphina dares to stop her, she will... she will...

Eluvia thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what she could do to Serafina.

After all, the opponent's strength is undeniable, and she, a junior Dragon King, might not necessarily gain the upper hand on their territory.

But she has Luo Ye.

Her dragon knight is on her side.

This is enough.

With this in mind, Eluvia calmed herself down a bit, retracted her dragon wings, and obediently squatted on the platform protruding from the clouds, her gaze fixed on the entrance to the barrier of Silvermoon Peak, patiently counting down second by second.

……

Meanwhile, inside the Silver Moon Peak.

The moment Luo Ye passed through the barrier, he was immediately enveloped by a layer of warm and gentle moonlight power. A faint silver spiritual energy swept over his entire body, like a gentle scan to verify his identity. After confirming that his identity was correct, it slowly faded away, allowing him to pass completely.

He glanced back at the shimmering silver-white barrier behind him, his heart filled with astonishment.

He had prepared for the waiting and tedious verification process, and even anticipated countless unexpected situations, but he never expected to be able to pass through so easily.

It seems that during his stay at Silvermoon Peak, Serafina had secretly added his aura to the highest-level access list, granting him unique access privileges.

This realization stirred a complex warmth within him, a mixture of helplessness and gratitude.

He collected his thoughts, followed the familiar route from his memory, passed through the blooming Moonflower Forest, stepped across the smooth and translucent white jade corridor, and walked straight ahead until he finally arrived at the inner gate of the Silver Moon Temple.

The palace door was ajar, with a soft, warm candlelight shining through the crack. A cool yet sweet fragrance filled the air, a familiar scent that stirred the heart.

Luo Ye gently pushed open the palace door and stepped into the inner hall.

Inside the hall, candlelight flickered, casting a gentle glow.

Serafina was lounging lazily on the soft cloud-patterned couch in the center of the hall, her posture languid.

She wore a loose, flowing silver-white robe casually, with the neckline slightly open, revealing a section of delicate and exquisite snow-white collarbone, with beautiful and alluring lines.

Her long, silvery-white hair, as smooth as moonlight, cascaded loosely over her shoulders, and the moon-scented silk sash around her waist was casually tied, its looseness perfectly accentuating her graceful figure, combining the aloof purity of the dragon race with the ultimate languid charm.

She held a cup of Moonlight Tea filled with silvery tea liquor in her hand; her fingertips were slender and fair, and her posture was casual yet elegant.

Hearing footsteps, Serafina slowly raised her eyes, put down her teacup, and a gentle yet mischievous smile instantly spread across her clear silver eyes. Her tone was lazy and full of teasing: "You've arrived right on time, my dragon knight."

Before Luo Ye could answer, Serafina had already stood up and walked lightly to him.

The next second, she raised her hand and pinched his cheek directly, gently rubbing it with her fingertips. The touch was delicate and warm, and her eyes were full of playful satisfaction.

"Hmm, it still feels as good as ever, so soft."

"It seems the little black dragon has taken good care of you and hasn't mistreated you much."

Luo Ye's cheeks flushed slightly from her pinching. Helpless, he raised his hand, grasped her slender wrist, and gently pulled it away, his tone urgent with a mix of amusement and exasperation: "Stop fooling around, let's get down to business."

Seraphina raised an eyebrow slightly, but instead of letting go, she pressed her advantage, gently pinching his cheek before stopping. Her eyes were filled with even more mockery, and her tone was full of meaning:

"Oh? Let's get down to business first? So eager?"

"The Dragon Knight has really gone bad. He used to blush and be shy when he saw me, but now he doesn't even bother with pleasantries. He came to my boudoir alone in the middle of the night, and the first thing he said was that he wanted to do something important. How wicked he is."

She deliberately emphasized the words "serious business," her eyes crinkling with a sly smile as she stared intently at Luo Ye's slightly embarrassed expression, clearly teasing him on purpose.

Luo Ye: "..."

He took a deep breath and felt his blood pressure spike again.

This wicked woman, knowing perfectly well what he came here for, deliberately misinterpreted his meaning and took pleasure in his embarrassed state.

"I'm here to collect the Heart of the Silvermoon." He tried to keep his tone calm and serious to avoid getting confused.

"You said before that if I came to Silvermoon Peak tonight in person, you would consider lending it to me."

"I never said I'd give it to you directly," Serafina corrected gently, her silver eyes gleaming with cunning.

"What I meant was, I'll consider lending it to you if your performance satisfies me."

"You've only just walked in and haven't shown any promise whatsoever. What makes you think I'll be satisfied?"

Luo Ye opened his mouth, only to find himself caught in her trap once again.

He simply gave up the tug-of-war and asked bluntly, "So how do you want me to behave?"

Serafina did not answer immediately.

She tilted her head slightly, her long, silvery-white hair sliding down her shoulders, gleaming softly in the candlelight.

She quietly observed Luo Ye, her gaze sliding from his eyebrows to the corners of his lips, and then to his slightly rising and falling chest, as if admiring a work of art that pleased her.

A few seconds later, her smile deepened, and she took a small step forward.

The distance between the two instantly shrank to less than a foot, their breaths mingling and their warmth mingling.

The scent of her cool moonlight mixed with a faint floral fragrance lingered around Luo Ye's nose, refreshing yet alluring, making one's heart sway involuntarily.

"Close your eyes."
