Jessistan let out a melancholy sigh.

"Mr. Loren, you don't understand the predicament of dragons..."

"What's the use of individual strength? We are not united!!"

"My fellow kin who love freedom and are utterly lawless, they don't even believe in the deities of our own race..."

"Unlike your human Empire and Federation..."

"Human powerhouses, no matter how hostile they are to each other, always have a certain tacit understanding when it comes to dealing with certain powerful deities..."

"Not to mention there's that one in the Empire, secretly watching the Gods of the Star Realm from the depths of the Empire..."

"And the relationships between dragons and dragons, they are just too complicated..."

"We wish we could dig out the brains of our feuding kin!!!"

"Those fellow kin who have become deities, most of them only care about themselves..."

"After becoming deities, they think about how to enslave other dragons all day long..."

"In short, the Dragon race has ended up in this sorry state!!"

"Anyway, extinction is impossible, but the low-level dragons are hiding and scurrying everywhere..."

"Those with ability, like me, just run around everywhere."

"Those without ability, and with bad luck, have already become animal companions for others during their juvenile stage!"

Saying this, Jessistan sighed again with a face full of worry and made a concluding statement:

"The hardships of a dragon's life, you humans can't understand..."

After listening to the other party's distorted account of the dragon situation, Loren, who had some understanding of the "Dragon race" from the Interstellar Hunter Forum, looked at her with a strange expression.

"Isn't it because you adult dragons like to stir up trouble everywhere that things became like this?"

Hearing this, Jessistan's somewhat worried face stiffened for an instant!

Immediately, she retorted excitedly:

"Nonsense! How can that be defined as stirring up trouble everywhere?!"

"Can dragon affairs be defined like that?!"

"We are treasure troves from head to toe! If we don't stir up trouble, how can we grow stronger? Should we just wait to die?!"

"Even a powerful and weird guy like you covets my dragon scales!"

"And, I'm already a Demigod, yet people still covet my dragon scales!!"

"Then the situation of my other kin must be even more difficult..."

After another round of "playing the victim," Loren finally figured out the background of this Miss Silver Dragon.

A dragon who stirred up trouble everywhere in her youth, but after achieving Demigod status, secretly ran off to hide within Federation territory! A homebody dragon!

Judging from her mischievous and lively personality, being a homebody is probably because the deities she offended are very powerful...

And judging from her level of chattiness, this silver dragon must have been hiding for a very long time and hasn't spoken to other intelligent beings for ages...

Having quietly figured out her background, Loren finally showed a rather wicked smile on his face:

"Miss Jessistan, I have a friend in the Land of the Gods..."

Miss Silver Dragon, who had just finished playing the victim, was stunned upon hearing this. "And then? What about your friend?"

"One dragon scale, or I'll expose the fact that you're hiding in the Beastkin Star Domain..."

Jessistan: "???"

The threatened Miss Silver Dragon looked at Loren with a pitiful expression, her eyes sparkling.

"Mr. Loren, you... are bullying... a dragon..."

Seeing this, Loren smiled slightly, directly blocking her "Charm" skill.

"Don't worry, I'll trade with you..."

The pitiful-looking Miss Silver Dragon, seeing the smile on Loren's face, silently took two more steps back and shook her head frantically...

"No trade!!"

"What would a dangerous guy like you want to do with my dragon scale?"

Seeing Miss Silver Dragon's reaction now, Loren silently laughed in his heart.

Miss Jessistan, your reaction right now doesn't seem like a very strong resistance...

Looks promising...

"To keep as a souvenir, to commemorate my first encounter with a dragon." Loren's tone was dead serious.

The Miss Silver Dragon with a look of refusal on her face, seeing this, silently retreated another dozen or so steps...

"Impertinent handsome human, please tell the truth, thank you!!"

"There should be trust in the interactions between humans and dragons!"

"Hmph!!"

Right now, within Jessistan's consciousness space, a special vocabulary composed of dragon language was displayed—"False"!

The Dragon race's exclusive lie detection spell she had secretly cast on herself had never been turned off when facing a dangerous guy like Loren!

Seeing the series of reactions from Miss Silver Dragon, a trace of confusion flashed in Loren's eyes again.

When I tricked Daisy before, she believed it easily...

Indeed, dragons who can survive and grow to the Demigod level have basically lived for thousands of years; none of them are simple...

Miss Jessistan's cute and lively demeanor seems to be just an act after all...

Does she have lie detection methods like I do...

A guess popped up in Loren's mind, so he chose to tell the truth:

"I... heard that the dragon scales of the Dragon race are top-tier materials for forging supernatural weapons..."

"Miss Jessistan, your dragon scales feel like they could sell for a lot of Spirit Stones..."

Loren's voice grew softer towards the end, he felt more and more guilty as he spoke...

Is it a bit cruel to discuss selling a part of the other person's body right in front of them? He silently criticized himself.

"Just that???" Miss Silver Dragon's face was full of disdain and disbelief!

"I! The noble, powerful, and beautiful Demigod Silver Dragon!!"

"Demigod Dragon with the title 'Silver Winged Calamity'—Lady Jessistan!!"

"Do you know how many people want my scales?!"

"You! Actually want to take them to sell! To exchange for some insignificant Spirit Stones?!"

"You big pervert!! Don't think I can't beat you!?"

"The scales a dragon gives! Contain feelings!!"

"Bastard!!! Show some respect for this sentiment!!"

Hearing this, Loren nodded quite sheepishly and guiltily touched his nose again...

For some reason, a weird feeling of "I'm participating in organ trafficking" eerily appeared in his heart...

I really am still too kind-hearted!! Loren criticized himself in his heart again.

Raven: "..." That's not it, my idiot master!

Seeing Loren admit to wanting to sell the dragon scale, Miss Silver Dragon, who was quite far from Loren, let out a very tsundere "Hmph!"

"Seeing as you're so handsome!"

"You promise me first! You can't sell it!"

"Back when I was advancing to Demigod, I naturally shed some scales!!"

"It's not like I can't give you a dragon scale!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Now, we can talk about what you're going to give me?"

"Let's be clear first, I'm very picky, you know!"

"Ordinary stuff, this dragon doesn't even bat an eye!!"

Hearing the other party finally relent! Loren smiled with great confidence!

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers!

"Raven! Come out!"

"Let this Miss Jessistan see how shiny your feathers are!!"
