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

Eluvia's dragon tail swung even faster, the tip of her tail drawing anxious arcs in the air.

She looked down at her dragon claws, then looked up at the mountain peak bathed in moonlight, a fierce internal struggle raging within her.

Fifteen minutes left.

If he doesn't come out after fifteen minutes, she'll rush in.

Forget about the Silver Dragon King, she's going in to find someone today!

Eluvia took a deep breath, steadied herself, and stared intently at the entrance to the barrier with her golden vertical pupils. Filled with trepidation, anger, and grievance, she began the final, agonizing countdown.

Luo Ye followed Serafina through layers of moonlit corridors.

The inner hall of Silver Moon Peak was more profound than he had imagined. The further they went in, the more concentrated and pure the moonlight spiritual energy in the air became, almost solidifying into a silvery mist that flowed slowly around them.

"There are thirteen layers of restrictions here," Serafina said, walking beside him, her tone as casual as if she were describing the layout of her own garden.

"The first seven layers are physical barriers, impervious to blades, bullets, and magic. The middle three layers are soul barriers, specifically designed to target malicious intruders, capable of directly annihilating their souls. The last three layers—"

She paused, tilted her head to glance at him, a mischievous smile in her silver eyes: "It's a restriction on my boudoir. If you ever plan to raid me at night, remember to give me a heads-up beforehand, lest you get caught in the crossfire."

Luo Ye's lips twitched: "...I have no interest in Night Raid."

"Is that so?" Serafina raised an eyebrow, her smile deepening.

"Then who was it that stuck out their tongue in the hall just now? Men, they really are hypocrites."

Luo Ye decisively shut up, deciding to completely concede defeat on this topic.

The two continued forward, passing through one barrier after another that emitted a silvery-white light.

Each barrier would automatically dissipate as Serafina approached, as if it were sentient, meekly making way for her.

After passing through the ninth layer of restrictions, a loud and powerful dragon roar suddenly came from ahead—

"Halt! This is the core forbidden area of ​​the Silver Dragon Clan. Trespassers—"

The voice stopped abruptly the moment it saw Serafina.

Two silver dragon guards, dressed in silver-white armor, stood guard at the end of the passage, one on the left and one on the right.

Their figures maintained a delicate balance between human and dragon forms—a pair of silver-white dragon horns stood upright on their heads, and long dragon tails trailed behind them. Fine silver scales peeked out from the gaps in their armor, gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

When they saw Luo Ye standing beside Serafina, their two pairs of silver-white dragon eyes lit up simultaneously.

The next second—

"My Lord Dragon Knight! How is the Silver Dragon King husband!"

The two voices spoke in unison, loud and powerful, echoing repeatedly in the deep corridor, making Luo Ye's eardrums buzz.

Luo Ye froze on the spot, his brain briefly shutting down for three seconds.

"...What?"

He turned to look at Serafina, his face clearly saying, "What's going on here?"

Serafina, however, remained calm, even with a hint of barely concealed a smile, and gently waved her hand: "Alright, stop howling. Your howling in the middle of the night is disturbing the other dragons' sleep."

The two guards immediately fell silent, standing ramrod straight, but the gossip in their eyes was impossible to hide. Their gazes swept back and forth between Luo Ye and Serafina, and they couldn't suppress the smirk on their faces.

As Serafina passed by them, she casually tossed two high-level magic cores, gleaming with silver light, from her sleeve, which landed in the hands of the two guards.

"Thank you for your hard work. Take this for your cultivation."

The two guards caught the magic core, their eyes instantly shining brightly, their voices even louder than before: "Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty! We wish Your Majesty and the Dragon Knight a pleasant night!"

Luo Ye: "..."

He felt his blood pressure spike again.

Seraphina laughed even harder, linking arms with Luo Ye, and walked briskly through the last few barriers, leaving a trail of joyful laughter echoing in the corridor.

After passing through the last barrier, a bright and clear view suddenly appeared before me.

This is a colossal hall entirely constructed from moonstone, with a dome tens of feet high, and looking up, one sees a vast expanse of stars.

Those are not real stars, but countless moonstones embedded in the dome, each emitting a silvery light of varying brightness, which together simulate the magnificent sight of the Milky Way cascading down.

Dozens of silver dragon statues lined both sides of the hall, each with a different posture: some with wings outstretched as if about to take flight, some coiled and resting, and some raising their heads and roaring. The eyes of each statue were carved from moonstone, gleaming with a warm light in the dim hall.

"These statues..." Luo Ye's gaze lingered for a moment on one of the silver dragon statues, which seemed poised to take flight.

"It doesn't look like an ordinary decoration."

"Each statue represents a fallen Silver Dragon King," Serafina replied softly.

"Since its inception, the Silver Dragon Clan has had forty-seven legitimate Silver Dragon Kings who have passed away peacefully. Before their demise, each of them infused their essence into the Silver Moon Heart, and their dragon bodies would transform into a moonstone statue, forever guarding this hall."

She paused, her silver eyes sweeping over the statues, her tone carrying a solemnity and gentleness that Luo Ye had never heard before:

"This is the most sacred place of the Silver Dragon Clan, the core of our clan's hundreds of thousands of years of heritage. Even within the Silver Dragon Clan, only the successive Dragon Kings and a very few elders have the authority to enter. Outsider—you are the first."

Luo Ye remained silent for a moment, then solemnly bowed slightly to the statues, performing a standard dragon etiquette.

Serafina watched his movements, a hint of surprise flashing in her silver eyes, which then transformed into an even stronger tenderness.

She didn't say anything, she just kept walking forward.

Passing through the long corridor between two rows of silver dragon king statues, the two arrived at the deepest part of the hall.

There are no superfluous decorations here, only a moonstone altar about three zhang high.

In the very center of the altar, a heart-shaped silver crystal floats.

It wasn't as dazzling and imposing as Luo Ye had imagined.

On the contrary, it looks quiet and reserved—its entire body is translucent silver-white, and its interior seems to flow with liquid moonlight. It rotates slowly, and with each rotation, a circle of fine silver ripples spreads out, like the beating of a heart.

But this seemingly quiet crystal enveloped the entire space in a vast yet gentle energy field.

The entire hall's moonlight energy, the starry sky on the dome, the statues on both sides, the runes on the ground—everything revolves around this Silver Moon Heart.

Luo Ye could clearly sense that streams of extremely pure moonlight power were continuously emanating from the heart of the Silver Moon.

The power flowed in all directions along the runic patterns on the temple floor, nourishing the entire Silvermoon Peak and every inch of the Silver Dragon Clan's territory.

This is the Heart of the Silver Moon.

The lifeblood and foundation of the Silver Dragon Clan for hundreds of thousands of years.

P.S.: Oh no, my computer broke down! My drafts and character designs are ruined! I'm going to cry.

While using it, my graphics card suddenly started screaming, and then I couldn't open it anymore. Does anyone know why?
