I am a wicked dragon, and you want me to fall into goodness?

"Waaah, sister!"

The dragon's voice carried a warning, and Deli's whip, which was halfway through its swing, suddenly stopped.

She snapped back to reality, and the moment her gaze fell on Leah, her blood seemed to freeze instantly.

The fairy's golden dress had long been torn to shreds, and deep red whip marks crisscrossed her exposed back, shoulders, and arms, some of which had already bled, creating a stark contrast with her fair skin.

Leah's body was still trembling slightly.

Her head was hanging low, and her disheveled blond hair covered most of her face. Only her rapid and weak breathing proved that she was still awake.

Her tightly bitten lower lip was already bleeding.

The blood in her body slid down her fair little feet and dripped onto a lily in the flowerbed.

"Waaah, I'm so sorry..."

Daisy's voice was hoarse, and the whip in her hand fell limply into the grass on the ground.

The fervor that had just been burning through reason vanished in an instant, replaced by overwhelming panic and heartache.

She staggered to Leah's side, her fingertips trembling as she tried to touch the gruesome wounds.

But fearing that touching her would cause her sister more pain, she could only hang in mid-air, tears welling up unexpectedly.

"I'm sorry... Sister Leah, I didn't mean to... I shouldn't have used so much force..."

Tears blurred Daisy's vision, and the exhilaration she felt while wielding the whip vanished completely.

"I was wrong... Sister, scold me, hit me..."

Deli choked back tears as she reached out and carefully brushed away Leah's sweaty hair.

When he saw the glistening tears on her tightly closed eyelashes and her face as pale as a sheet of paper, his heart felt as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand, the pain making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Leah slowly opened her eyes, her golden pupils bloodshot, but there was no blame, only a weak smile.

"No...it's okay, it's not your fault..."

It's all that evil dragon's fault!

If it weren't for the dragon's coercion, why would the lovely little sister whip her?

Although Daisy whipped her with great force, it was only because of her request.

It was all to appease the dragon's wrath and save her life.

"Really...really?"

When Daisy met her sister's sincere gaze, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

She knew she had used the dragon's command to vent her personal grievances.

This despicable selfishness made her tremble with shame, yet the secret excitement deep within her heart plunged her into self-loathing.

Looking at the bloody whip marks on her sister's shoulder, she hated her own selfishness, yet could not deny the resentment that had been suppressed for many years.

Two conflicting emotions tore at her heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

She wondered if, since her sister hadn't noticed, they could get along as before.

Do not!

Daisy's eyes were deep and unfathomable, as if everything was irreversible.

Despite being seriously injured, Lia still had the strength to comfort her grieving sister.

Pu Se thought to himself, such love and tolerance, kindness and integrity, truly befit the protagonist of the script "Fairy and Dog-Headed Man".

This makes Puse seem like a villainous character who oppresses fairies.

Puse's claws were casually tapping on a stone, waiting for the two sisters to be tender and comfort each other.

After Daisy used life magic to give Leah a simple healing treatment.

Leah leaned on her sister's shoulder, her rapid breathing gradually calming down, and a sickly flush appeared on her pale cheeks.

She gritted her teeth, used her last bit of strength to prop herself up, and looked over Daisy's shoulder, straight at the blue dragon on the stone seat.

"Lord Blue Dragon."

Her voice was terribly hoarse yet every word was clear, and her golden pupils shone brightly in the shadows. Even though she was covered in wounds, her fairy pride remained undiminished.

"The punishment is now over, and I have paid the price for my offense."

Her gaze met Puse's without flinching, carrying a calm that came after the dust had settled.

Leah knew that in the face of absolute power, any explanation was futile.

If that vengeful kobold had actually made a move, she would probably be long gone.

Now that her punishment was over, she straightened her back a little more, and even though the pain from her wounds made her vision blur, she repeated, word by word, "You should leave the fairy's flower garden."

The zither on the stone seat stopped striking the stone surface, and its deep blue pupils contracted slightly.

He had thought that after the process of the demon whipping him, he would at least feel some fear.

Unexpectedly, she was so tough; despite being so badly injured, she could still say such things.

He slowly rose to his feet, and as his enormous dragon wings unfolded, a gust of wind arose, causing the vines in the flowerbed to sway.

Poseidon walked step by step toward Lia, his shadow completely enveloping her small figure. His deep dragon voice carried an oppressive force: "Leave the flower garden?"

Leah met his gaze without flinching: "Yes."

Pu Se stared at her for a long time, his deep blue pupils revealing an unreadable emotion.

Finally, he chuckled softly and slowly withdrew his claws: "Interesting."

His gaze swept over Leah's bruises and then landed on Deli's red and swollen eyes. He slowly said, "Now that the punishment is over, this matter should indeed be put behind us."

Leah's tense body instantly relaxed, and a feeling of exhaustion washed over her.

If it weren't for Deli holding her tightly, she would have almost collapsed to the ground.

But in any case, she managed to save her own and her sister's lives for the time being.

After she completely relaxed, Pu Se smiled slightly: "Alright, now we should talk about compensation."

"The lovely fairies love to play pranks. My poor servant Bruce wandered into the flower garden and has been tricked by the fairies for so many days."

Puse raised his warning tone: "If the compensation doesn't satisfy me, then the dragon will be very angry, and the consequences will be severe!!"

Leah froze, her pale face filled with disbelief.

She stared blankly at the blue dragon on the stone seat, her golden pupils filled with confusion, the pain in her back seemingly lessened by this sudden request.

Why should there be compensation?

It was clearly that dog-headed man who broke into the flowerbed first, disturbing their lives; he was the one who started the conflict.

They were merely acting in self-defense and retaliation; their teasing of him was the dog-headed man's own fault.

She has already been severely punished and paid the price for the so-called "offense," so why should she have to compensate in return?

Lia opened her mouth, her hoarse voice trembling slightly.

"Compensation? Lord Blue Dragon."

"It was clearly your servants who broke into our home and harassed us first... We never provoked them, so why should we pay compensation?"

This evil dragon is truly despicable. In the face of absolute power, can all mistakes be arbitrarily reversed?

The dragon's logic left her feeling both absurd and powerless.
