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

Leah's eyes widened in disbelief: "You mean, you're going to leave this guy in the fairy's flower garden?"

After dealing with the aftermath, Puse and Bruce returned to the fairy's flower garden.

Poseidon's idea was to put Bruce in the care of the fairies.

Since both fairies and kobolds are characters in the script "Fairies and Kobolds," how can they not be considered to have a close connection?

"What's so surprising about that!" Puse thought the golden fairy was making a complete fuss.

The evil dragon, though unjustified, retorted, "I'm just asking you to look after him for a while; just make sure he doesn't suddenly die."

"No, I disagree."

Lia argued with Puse, "You bastard, would you really let a stranger you don't like move into your house?"

She confronted Pousser.

The younger sisters behind them huddled together, their small bodies pressed against the wide gaps in the calyx, peeking out from behind a sunflower.

Daisy twirled a curled blade of grass between her fingers, her dark eyes remaining completely still.

She didn't like kobolds, but she wanted to keep them.

If you disagree with your older sister Lia, she will get very angry and focus all her attention on her instead of her cuter younger sisters.

As for the gentle Ella and the lively Finnie...

Because of the kobolds, they had their treasures stolen from them and didn't want this ugly and smelly creature to stay.

As for Mino... Mino is currently dozing off. The loss of Dewdrop makes it easy for Finney to find her, so she has less time to sleep.

"If you're willing to let him stay here, you can play with him and play pranks on him, wouldn't that be great?"

"Huh? Aren't you his boss? You even hit him hard for a prank..."

After extorting the fairies so ruthlessly, why are they now acting as if they're just casually dealing with them?

Leah found the scene somewhat absurd.

"I think it's a good idea." Deli's voice was light and airy, like a calm lake. "If we tease him, Finney will probably be very happy."

"Dali! How could you speak up for this guy!" Leah was furious and turned around to grab Dali's ear, but Dali easily dodged her.

Ella and Finney, who were hiding behind, peeked out. Finney first wrinkled her nose and looked at Bruce, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

This dog-headed man looked completely exhausted, listless, like a sleepy Minotaur.

After Daly agreed, Finney and Ella wanted to object, but dared not speak under the dragon's pressure, and could only look expectantly at their sister Leah.

Leah's cheeks puffed out in anger at Deli's defection, but seeing her two younger sisters looking at her expectantly, she felt a surge of confidence.

"In short, I disagree, and even if Deli agrees, my remaining sisters will not."

Puser silently looked at the dog-headed man sprawled on the ground, his mind racing as he calculated Bruce's remaining value.

Although this guy is stupid, he is still an original character in the script of "Fairy and Kobolds". Keeping him around might trigger a hidden side quest someday.

Furthermore, he was his first underling, and his fear of him ran deep in his bones. His role as bait just now proved that he was somewhat effective.

Pusser was making excuses for himself.

As soon as these thoughts arose, he realized that he didn't want this kobold to die somewhere, in some unknown corner.

The thought of weighing the pros and cons only flashed through his mind for a moment before he made his decision.

The dragon's deep voice rang out: "What if I'm willing to pay the price?"

Leah, hands on her hips, looked as if she'd heard the funniest joke in the world: "Price? What can you offer that we fairies would like?"

"We have a flower garden that never fades in all four seasons, what price are you willing to pay?"

"Those glittering gold coins? Or those cold, hard gems?"

Fairies love life, and when they see something they like, they have only one purpose: to decorate the perfect flower garden in their hearts.

What the dragon likes, they may not like.

"Hmph, unless you're willing to return our treasure, there's no way."

"It's impossible to return them directly." Puser was still thinking about studying what specific effects these fairy creations of miracles had.

"However, if you're willing to take him in, you can reduce the number of times I need to cultivate starflowers, how about that?"

Leah hesitated.

If she can get her treasure back as soon as possible, her sisters will probably be very happy.

Lia subconsciously looked at Deli, wanting to ask her opinion as her opinionated younger sister, then looked away, trying to see if there was any rejection on the faces of the other fairies.

The scene became quiet for a moment.

The fairies were clearly caught in a dilemma, torn between the hateful kobolds and their beloved child who had regained true love.

Poseidon didn't continue speaking. Being humble at this point would only embolden the other party during negotiations.

Time passed slowly, and the five fairies began to whisper among themselves, occasionally shaking Mino awake as she fell asleep next to Lia.

Seeing her sisters relent one by one, and then glaring at the composed Pusser beside her, Lia bit her lower lip, and finally the scales in her heart tipped.

She took a deep breath, her tone stubborn: "We can grant your request, but the price for our trickery must be waived, and the number of times we can redeem the treasure will be reduced to one."

Pusser raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue.

"He had to dig his own hole at the outermost edge of the flowerbed, clean up the insects and weeds every day, and run errands for us..."

Leah counted them one by one, afraid of missing anything.

Finney then spoke slowly and softly, "Also, if he misbehaves, we can tease him however we want, but you can't interfere."

The little fairy hid behind Leah: "Of course, if he encounters danger, we will also take the initiative to protect him."

After listening, Pu Se chuckled softly: "The compensation cannot be cancelled, but we can lower our demands."

"As for the number of times you redeem your treasures, not a single one can be missed."

The reason for demanding compensation from Bruce was solely to swindle more money from the fairy and obtain more materials to upgrade the [Starlight Magic Hammer Forging Technique].

Solving the compensation issue now would actually expedite the task, so Puse could make concessions on this matter.

Pousser continued, "You teased Bruce because he accidentally stepped on some flowers in the flowerbed."

"If you're willing to take Bruce in and offer him a flower full of sincerity, those three cultivation sessions can be cancelled."

"For every seven cultivations, you can obtain a fairy artifact. There is no better trade in the world."

Lia had no objection to the kobolds' compensation and tried to renegotiate the price for redeeming the fairy artifact with Puse.

"Once is our bottom line."

"Seven times, not a single time less."

"Twice is already a great deal."

"Seven times, not a single time less."

"..."

"You bastard!!"

Leah gritted her teeth. Why was this wicked dragon so unwilling to lower the price this time when they were negotiating?

This is completely different from what she expected!

Leah was angry. She felt that this guy had no intention of negotiating at all. Otherwise, why were the negotiation skills she had just learned useless?

Seeing her vulnerable state, and to prevent her from turning completely hostile, Puser said, "If you are willing to gain the friendship of the Blue Dragon and accept my scales, then I can reduce my chances by two more."

If you reduce the number of times by two after seven, then you can exchange it for a fairy's treasure every five times.

Although it happened one more time in Bilia's mind, it was still barely acceptable.

After consulting her sister, she finally nodded and said, "Okay, we agree."

Puser took out a dark blue dragon scale, pressed it gently with his fingernail, and the scale was deeply embedded in the oak tree in the center of the flowerbed.

After completing his final task, Pousser gave Bruce a deep look before flying into the sky.

We wasted some time at the mine, and then some more while waiting for the negotiations.

I probably won't make it back before dark.
