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

"Would you be willing to return the treasure to us?"

The dragon wants to discuss the use of the miraculous creations? Could it be... that he intends to return those treasures to them?

This thought, like a tiny seed, unexpectedly sprouted in Leah's heart, quietly stirring a faint hope within her long-suppressed chest.

After all, each of those miraculous creations carries the purest wishes of the fairies and is proof of their long years of coexistence with this flower garden.

"Ha, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Puse immediately retorted, "These fairies actually dared to covet the dragon's treasure; they truly deserve to die!"

He raised his paw and pointed to his abdomen, where the fairy's miraculous creation lay quietly.

"From the moment they were swallowed by this dragon, they were branded with the mark of Puse, spoils of war that belong entirely to the evil dragon!"

Leah's hopes have vanished.

She knew that once the treasure fell into the dragon's hands, it would be impossible to get it back unless a miracle occurred.

Instead of waiting for such a miracle, it might be better to nurture new wishes in your heart; that might bring things to a faster pace.

"So what do you want to talk to us about?" Leah asked weakly, her tone tinged with sarcasm. "Do you want to take away all the fairies' wishes?"

If this evil dragon truly covets all the miraculous creations that the fairies will later produce, then Nalia will immediately lead her sisters away from the flower garden to find a new home.

Pusser was pondering...

He cannot kill the fairy, as that would cause the mission to fail. If he chooses to imprison her, there will be even more serious consequences if Grimm or Alistair finds out.

Imprisoning a fairy requires a series of preparations, the most important of which is time.

And every time Poseidon comes out, he has to get rid of Green, which is exactly what he lacks, so he can only come out once every two weeks.

Imprisoning all the fairies in one place leads to too many unexpected events, such as fairies escaping, being devoured by predators, or starving to death.

This won't work, that won't work, in order to ensure that the effect of the miracle creation doesn't disappear, or disappears more slowly, we can only take another step back.

"I can return the fairy's treasure, but this dragon has a few conditions."

Leah's eyes lit up, like stars that had been blown out by the wind suddenly rekindling their glimmer.

Is there hope again?

Is this for real?

A faint, unbelievable flush rose to her pale cheeks, and she even forgot to maintain her fairy composure, her lips slightly parted, her breathing becoming a little rapid.

Those stolen treasures held a very special meaning for the fairies.

Daly, standing beside her, had a wary look in her eyes.

The pointed ears perked up warily, staring intently into Pu Se's deep blue pupils, trying to glimpse some even more greedy scheme within.

"What are the conditions?" Daisy spoke first, attempting to negotiate with Puse. "Lord Blue Dragon, could you please state clearly what you desire?"

"I need a lot of starflowers!" Puse flicked his tail and spoke slowly.

"This has played a great role in my growth, and I ask you to plant them and provide me with enough star flowers."

"In return, I can return one of your treasures for every five harvests... no, ten harvests, how about that?"

Puser was worried that if he didn't keep them hanging on, and if he left this thing for too long, the fairies would be completely disappointed, and the miracle creation would lose its purpose.

Once all of these functions fail, the contents inside the stomach become nothing more than an ordinary broken stone, a broken flower, or a broken dewdrop.

We can't just rob it again, can we?

This requires careful planning, but the fairies, having gained experience, will definitely be very wary and will want to flee as soon as they see him.

Lia heard about Puse's sudden price increase.

This shameless dragon, who initially only wanted five times, doubled his desire to ten times in a flash.

"No, ten times is too many."

The growth cycle of the star flower is long, normally taking a full year from sowing to blooming.

Even though fairies possess unique life magic, it still takes several days.

It takes more than a month of hard work to get one item. It's not bad, but there's definitely room for negotiation.

"Five times, at most five times to change one item."

This was the initial price of Puse, and also the dragon's initial expectation. This way, lowering the price wouldn't provoke the dragon's wrath.

"Nine times, not a single time less."

"Our precious baby is with you, but you can't do much good. Six times, that's the most we can give you."

"Eight times, humph, you weak fairy, you actually forced the greedy dragon to give in. You should be proud of today's negotiations."

Leah reduced the number of negotiations, but her desires were certainly not satisfied. Ignoring Delilah's hint, she raised her price once again:

"Seven times, this is my final concession."

"Deal." The moment Lia said the price, Puser immediately agreed.

"Huh?" The fairy's cute face froze for a moment. She didn't know why, but even though she had negotiated a suitable price, she still felt like she had lost out.

"Sister..." Deli's face was tense; Lia had clearly been tricked by this evil dragon.

Puse continued to widen the gap, sealing the deal: "Now that we've agreed, let's stick to the number of times we've decided."

"You, Miss Leah, I acknowledge the benefits you secured for the fairies at the negotiating table."

"Oh, there's one more thing. The issue of Bruce's compensation hasn't been resolved yet."

Puser pointed with his paw at the dog, who was still bound by vines and bouncing around in the air:

"Based on the negotiated terms, each fairy will receive three additional compensations, for a total of fifty. Is that too much to ask? These are my beloved siblings and pets; I won't accept any bargaining."

The price was pushed up again to ten per item.

Lia thought that after the dragon had ravaged the flowerbed once, she wouldn't have to pay any more compensation, but she didn't expect to find this waiting for her.

She exchanged a glance with Deli, and only after Deli nodded helplessly did Leah reluctantly agree.

The two eldest fairies agreed to the deal, and the younger sisters would surely follow their advice.

"Alright, but you'll have to return one item every ten times, and... today is already the first transaction."

The flowerbeds were a complete mess; the dragon's destructive power truly surprised the fairy.

"Okay, I have no objection!"

It's just a few minor details.

If Puse wants to keep the fairies hanging, then the first return transaction must be done in good faith.

As for the second and subsequent returns, that would require testing each other's bottom lines.

Puser used magic to spit out a mouthful of acid, which corroded the vines binding the kobolds, causing them to fall to the ground.

The vines binding Leah slowly loosened, and under the watchful eyes of Puse and Bruce, she flew towards the side of the flowerbed where the flowers were still in full bloom.

"Bruce, let's go!"
