"Do you remember what I said before, that if you wanted me to teach you magic, you had to do something for me first?" Ya Feng said.

“Hmm…” Ilsa nodded.

"Then, come with me." Ya Feng extended a hand to her.

Ilsa hesitated for a moment, then reached out her hand and shook his.

In an instant, she felt as if she had been violently pulled, as if she had been thrown hundreds of meters away, and she was plunged into a dizzying sense of detachment.

When she opened her eyes again, she felt solid ground beneath her feet. The detachment ended, and she was finally able to breathe.

"This, this is... a teleportation spell?"

Ilsa gasped for breath, surveying her surroundings. She realized they had reached the top of a high peak, surrounded by exposed, jagged rocks.

The temperature was very low, and you could see the clouds and mist swirling around the mountainside below.

Because the misuse of spatial spells can cause spatial distortions, the Kingdom of Fein has strictly restricted the use of teleportation spells since the implementation of the Sorcerer's Law thirty years ago. It is classified as a first-level prohibited spell and must be under the unified jurisdiction of the kingdom.

“This isn’t a traditional teleportation spell; it’s a door key, a pre-set teleportation marker.” Ya Feng walked over and poked a wooden plaque with magical light that stood on the edge of the cliff with his black wooden cane.

“This is a key that was left here; I just borrowed it,” he said.

Ilsa rubbed her shoulders; the cold wind blowing from the mountaintop made her shiver.

So, what did he do by bringing me here in the middle of the night?

At this moment, Ya Feng began to draw magical runes on the ground with his black wooden cane; it was an intricate magic circle.

Finally, the tip of the staff touched the core of the magic circle, and instantly, a stream of pale blue magic flowed along the patterns of the magic circle.

Then Ya Feng took a grayish-white rock with a pitted surface from his pocket and threw it into the magic circle.

The stone was enveloped in magic the moment it hit the ground, followed by a pale blue beam of magic that shot straight into the sky, rising like a beacon atop the peak.

“This is… a summons beacon?” Ilsa recognized it.

This is a common informational spell used in the past, often by adventurers lost in the wilderness. It creates a beacon point, then throws in an item imbued with the aura of a companion. The resulting beacon beam can then send a message to a companion in any direction, and the companion can instantly sense the beacon's location and rendezvous with it.

What Ya Feng just threw in seems to be a moonstone, a type of rock commonly found in the Phaethon ruins. Who is he trying to summon?

"Alright, let's wait here for a bit," Ya Feng said, sitting down on a nearby rock.

Now that the spell is complete, he just needs to wait for the summoned object to arrive.

"hiss..."

Ilsa pulled her coat tighter; the wind on the mountaintop was still too cold, even dispelling her sleepiness.

Ya Feng took a thermos from the package, opened it, and handed it to her.

"Here."

"Thanks..."

Ilsa took it; it contained warm chocolate milk with a sweet taste.

She took a small sip, then looked at Ya Feng:

"Ya Feng, who are you going to meet?"

"The person summoned in this way, and who we meet in this place, must be extraordinary," she thought to herself.

Ya Feng nodded and said:

"She is my wife."

"puff!"

Ilsa spat out the mouthful of chocolate milk she had just drunk, but ignoring the stain on her clothes, she turned to look at Ya Feng, her eyes wide:

"Who...who are you?!"

He actually has a wife?!

Ya Feng thoughtfully handed her a handkerchief and then said:

"Well... calling her my wife might not be accurate, because we've only signed a marriage contract and we're not officially married yet, so I'd say she's my fiancée."

"No, no... who exactly is she?" Ilsa couldn't quite imagine.

What kind of woman would marry him?

Would you like to hear our story?

Ilsa nodded.

Ya Feng looked at the bright moon in the night sky, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"That was... about six months ago."

...

Six months ago, the Phaethonian ruins.

This magnificent and spacious temple, like the dwelling place of giants, has nineteen moon phase rock pillars supporting the palace dome like pillars of heaven.

Heavy footsteps echoed through the vast palace, and a tiny figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

Ya Feng's travel cloak still bore burn marks and purple monster blood, indicating he had just been in a fierce battle. His clothing was slightly disheveled, but his expression remained calm.

He awaited the arrival of that being.

Soon, an indigo vortex of magic surged in the dome, followed by a violent storm. The gale swept through his cloak, and even the pebbles on the ground were drawn towards the vortex in the dome.

A huge, silvery-white figure descended from the vortex of magic, then crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. With a single flap of its wings, it dispersed all the dust, revealing its full form.

It was a giant silver dragon, standing like a mountain peak in front of Ya Feng.

Her figure was like a mountain range, her entire body covered in hard, silvery-white scales that shimmered with a dazzling light. Although she was large, she displayed graceful body lines. Thick, flamboyant dragon horns grew from her dragon head, and a pair of golden vertical pupils emitted a chilling radiance that looked down upon the world, coldly gazing at the humans below who were as insignificant as ants.

She is Zeshita, the Silver Moon Dragon King who now rules over the entire dragon race.

"Human, having traversed nine secret realms to reach this place, you are qualified to tell me your name." The dragon's mouth did not open, yet it emitted a deep, thunderous voice.

"Ya Feng." Ya Feng looked up at her and said quietly.

"Ya Feng? So, what do you want from me? A secret treasure? Power? Or... the secrets of this world?" Zeshita said in a low voice.

After the opening of the Great Ruins of Phaethon, countless adventurers flocked to it, but without exception, they all became the bones paving the way. Those who could truly reach the end were undoubtedly the strongest among humans, and their goal was to obtain from her, the Dragon Queen, a being at the pinnacle of the world, the treasures that would allow them to break through their limitations and reach a higher realm.

So far, only one human has come here, so Zeshita is very curious to know what kind of request he will make.

Ya Feng straightened his clothes, then suddenly knelt on one knee, placed his hand on his chest, and said:

"I hope to become your servant and serve you for the rest of my life."

The dragon's golden eyes narrowed.

"Human, do you know what you're saying?"

“I know very well,” Ya Feng said.

“My future as a human is limited. No matter how powerful I become, I can never surpass the noble dragon race. I know this very well. Therefore, I hope to leave the human race and join the noble dragon race, even if it is just to become your lowly servant.”

Zehita stared at him, then laughed.

"You are very interesting, human. I am now also very curious about your true purpose."

"My true purpose is simply to gain your approval," Ya Feng said sincerely.

"Very well, I agree. You have the qualifications, so I will make an exception and allow you to serve me. Be grateful!"

“Thank you, Your Majesty the Dragon King,” Ya Feng said, then took out a parchment contract from his pocket.

"This is a master-servant contract with you. I have signed my name on it. If you accept it, everything I have will belong to you."

Zehita tilted her head slightly, and the parchment flew over and landed in front of her.

She wasn't worried that this human had any ulterior motives. As the Dragon King and the supreme being standing at the top of the world, there were very few beings who could threaten her. On the contrary, she was very curious and wanted to see what this humble human was up to.

"I agree."

She raised her dragon claw, the enormous claw pressing lightly against the contract, magic flowing through it, leaving her signature on it.

However, right after she signed it, she suddenly noticed that there was another page on the bottom of the contract, so she turned it over to take a look.

Marriage Contract

"I, the Silver Moon Dragon King Zeshita, am willing to become Ya Feng's wife, to love each other dearly, to stay together for life, and to give birth to many dragon babies for him every year."

"?????"

Zeshita Long was dumbfounded; this thing was so bizarre that she didn't react for a moment.

But then, the marriage contract transformed into countless points of light, completely enveloping her enormous body.

She was enveloped in golden light, and then her enormous body gradually shrank, losing its dragon-like features and revealing a slender and petite human female figure.

Finally, the light dissipated, and a head of long, silver-white hair fell down. Zeshita had shed her dragon form and transformed into a beautiful young girl with long, silver-white hair, a slender figure, fair skin, and retained her dragon tail and horns. She looked only sixteen or seventeen years old.

"W-what's going on? How could I..."

She stared wide-eyed at her once strong, sharp dragon claws, capable of crushing anything, now as white and delicate as tender scallions.

Even her voice became melodious and lively at this moment.

She touched her face; it was also smooth and delicate.

Gone. The beautiful dragon scales, the powerful muscles, the massive body—all gone.

All that remained was a pale, delicate, and short human body. Zeshita covered her head, her eyes trembling.

Impossible! What kind of magic did this human use to be able to affect a being of the Dragon King level?!

She was still in shock when Ya Feng came up to her, took her delicate hand in his, and put a dazzling diamond ring on her ring finger.

Ya Feng smiled gently at her and whispered:

"Zehita, I have come to fulfill the promise I made in our past life and will marry you."

Chapter Nine: Who Did You Turn into a Human?

In his first playthrough, Ya Feng followed the system's instructions to conquer the Great Ruins of Phaethon, gaining the approval of the Dragon King Zeshita and forging an alliance between humans and dragons.

Zeshita ascended the throne at the age of two hundred, becoming the youngest female dragon queen in the dragon race. After the alliance was formed, they often cooperated, and gradually became acquainted.

He also discovered that although this Dragon King was arrogant and impolite, he was quite loyal, hated evil, and even had a strong sense of justice.

During that period, Zeshita led the dragons to victory in several major battles, and Yafeng also helped her resolve the crisis of the dragon rebellion. As a result, he gained Zeshita's trust and established a very deep friendship with the silver dragons.

Because of the system, Ya Feng had long avoided women, and gradually he even began to find Zeshita, the female dragon, somewhat attractive.

He admitted he felt a little repressed, but he couldn't be entirely blamed. Zeshita, as a female dragon, was more slender and graceful than most dragons, and her entire body was silvery-white. Moreover, after trusting him, her attitude had become much gentler, creating an endearing contrast to her previous arrogant demeanor.

A magnificent dragon displaying its arrogant demeanor is truly irresistible.

This feeling continued to grow in his heart, so Ya Feng proposed to her:

"Dragon, I love you. It's a love that transcends species. Marry me, and I'll treat you well."

"Human? No, I am the Dragon King. Dragon Kings cannot have a partner before the age of five hundred, so you will have to wait three hundred years."

Ya Feng's marriage proposal failed.

In the final moments of the first playthrough, the abyss descended, and the kingdom and the dragon allies fought desperately. At the last moment, he withdrew all his troops from the abyss, leaving him and Zeshita to cover the retreat. They fought side by side in the abyss until the very last moment, when the two of them collapsed from exhaustion and leaned against each other.

As she lay dying, Zehita gazed wearily at the abyss that roared at them, and sighed as she spoke to him:

"Ya Feng, if I am reborn as a human in the next life, I will accept your marriage proposal and marry you."

Ya Feng opened his eyes, took one last look at her, and smiled weakly:

"Really?"

"Hmph, but it still depends on your ability to make me fall in love with you again." Zeshita raised his tall head and snorted.

"Then you can't go back on your word."

"I will never go back on my word."

In the end, he and the Silver Moon Dragon King died together in the abyss.

He felt that he had truly fallen in love with the dragon.

So, in the second playthrough, he came to fulfill the promise from his previous life.
