Faced with the caution of Jessistan, the Demigod Silver Dragon, Loren once again guiltily rubbed his nose.

Fortune did it, it really has nothing to do with me!

You've wronged me, Miss Silver Dragon...

However, the ever-cautious Loren still did not explain his unique ability to the other party.

He just silently withdrew the massive amount of Fortune that Raven had attached to him...

After withdrawing the "Fortune" from his body, Loren tentatively asked the other party:

"And now? Do you still feel influenced?"

Hearing Loren's words, Jessistan looked aggrieved as she sensed her own thoughts.

Two seconds later.

Only then did she appear to heave a sigh of relief, patting her chest with lingering fear:

"No, my thoughts are normal now!"

"Mr. Loren, your ability is truly terrifying, just like those mind-corrupting evil gods from other planes..."

Hearing this sentence, Loren's eyes instantly lit up, and an extreme sense of mischief suddenly rose in his heart.

Then, his expression turned gloomy and terrifying, and he spoke in a low, deep voice:

"How do you know I'm not an evil god from another plane?"

"Miss Jessistan! I've been looking for you for a long time!!"

Instantly, the Silver Dragon's expression became extremely unpleasant!

She was freaking out!!

The silver hair at the back of her head stood on end, strand by strand!

Immediately after, countless magical special effects erupted!

Large magic circles of varying colors instantly covered this patch of sky!!

Then, it was Loren's turn for his expression to drastically change!

He too sensed a lethal threat from those magic circles in the sky, each with a diameter of over a thousand meters!

"Wait!"

"I was joking!!"

As his words fell, a mischievous, "scheme-succeeded" grin suddenly appeared on Jessistan's face.

Then, she waved her hand and withdrew the countless magic circles from the sky!

"What a coincidence, I was joking too!"

"Hehe! Serves you right for scaring me!!"

"Hmph!!"

Loren: "..."

Bastard!

What a dragon with a terrible personality!!

"Hahaha! Master, she's messing with you!" Raven's mocking voice followed close behind!

Thus, Loren's mood worsened even further...

He glanced at Jessistan, who wasn't far from him, his gaze then falling on the silver gown she wore. After silently sighing.

He subtly changed the subject.

Wait a bit longer, now is not the time yet...

"Miss Jessistan with the terrible personality, are you the one guarding this Snow-Covered Forest?"

Unexpectedly, the Silver Dragon opposite him now shook her head with a smile.

"Well..."

"Strictly speaking, I was just sleeping soundly, got woken up by the commotion you guys made, and was a bit cranky from waking up..."

"I don't have any duty to guard this forest..."

"What's so valuable about guarding this dump?"

"I showed up to stop you guys because I was feeling a bit bored staying in my nest."

"Of course, scaring you a bit for fun along the way..."

"And then robbing a few Spirit Stones or something would have been even better..."

"Who knew I'd run into a scary guy like you?!"

"Just woke up, went out looking for some fun, and encountered someone who seems like a god's alt account!"

"It's very scary for a dragon, okay?"

Hearing this, Loren didn't pay attention to her string of complaints.

He latched onto a key piece of information from this tirade...

His eyes unconsciously narrowed.

"Miss Jessistan, may I ask how long you've lived in this Snow-Covered Forest? Is there anything strange about it?"

Loren's question filled the eyes of this Demigod-level Silver Dragon with confusion.

"Strange? No, what exactly do you mean?"

Then, Loren's gaze relaxed.

A Demigod-level dragon hasn't discovered that Ancient Ruin either? Interesting...

"What I mean is, are there any other big shots of Demigod level like you existing in this Snow-Covered Forest?"

Hearing Loren's description of her, the Silver Dragon in human form immediately pouted her little mouth!

"How rude! You're not even calling me 'Miss Jessistan' anymore!!"

After complaining about Loren's form of address, she looked up in thought.

"There aren't any nearby."

"After I chose to settle here, all the magical beasts that reached the Legendary Tier in the vicinity were driven away by me..."

"An area of over a million square kilometers is my territory!"

"As for places further away, whether there are Demigod-level existences, I don't know..."

"After all, I'm quite a homebody, I don't go out much..."

Hearing that the territory she occupied spanned a full million square kilometers, Loren's gaze instantly turned somewhat strange.

You, a homebody dragon? You seized over a million square kilometers of territory?

And Jessistan opposite him seemed to understand the meaning behind this look and retorted:

"What's that look supposed to mean, you presumptuously handsome human!"

"As a noble, powerful, and beautiful Silver Dragon, what's wrong with occupying a larger territory?"

"It's a tradition of the Dragon race!"

"The more powerful you are, the more territory you occupy!"

"And! Don't think I'm just a dragon!"

"I! Jessistan! A lawful citizen of the Federation!!"

"The kind with a legitimate Federation passport!"

"My land-claiming behavior is supported by Federation law!"

"Well... okay, that might be a bit over the top!"

"But at least I've never violated Federation law..."

"Not even once!!!"

Miss Silver Dragon's tone was full of pride and arrogance!

Clearly, becoming a part of the Federation made her extremely proud!

At the very least, those lofty Gods couldn't cause trouble for her within Federation territory...

Even nominally in the "Beastkin Star Domain," they couldn't!

As a dragon who stirred up trouble everywhere in her youth, she was now quite satisfied with her current state...

After listening to Jessistan's proud account, Loren gave her a resentful look.

You... what do you mean?!

Meaning, I'm not a lawful Federation citizen?

Alright, I'm indeed not...

"Miss Jessistan, you seem to care a lot about your Federation citizenship?" Loren voiced his confusion.

Hearing Loren's question, Miss Silver Dragon looked at Loren with great envy.

"I really envy you Federation natives; you can offend Gods, even curse certain Gods without consequence..."

"It's different for pitiful, weak dragons like us..."

"Even if we don't curse those lofty Gods, those Gods are always looking for trouble with us dragons..."

"We're just a bit more... active in our behavior, that's all! Really!!!"

Loren was taken aback. Federation citizenship? It has that kind of value?!

"Wait, you just said 'pitiful, weak dragons'?"

"As far as I know, dragons should be one of the most powerful supernatural races in the Star Realm..."
