"Hahahaha, what's this? Are you worried about me? You're really just overthinking..."
Before Jona Velli could finish, Friel had already rushed forward.
The mature Friel flew in front of Jona Velli, who was in her true form. Looking at the ferocious and domineering dragon head before her, she punched it on the spot, though it didn't do much.
"You, stop being so full of yourself."
As she spoke, Friel's anger seemed to subside a little.
"Can't you just behave? You're always doing such impulsive things!"
"Aha?! You, a small fry, have the nerve to lecture me?"
Jona Velli couldn't stand it; anyone could lecture her, but definitely not a Red Dragon.
"Who's more impulsive than you Red Dragons?"
"What were you trying to do just now? If I'm not mistaken, you were going to cause trouble for them, weren't you?"
"I... I was not! Who would go looking for trouble for someone like you? I just didn't like the look of them..."
Friel crossed her arms, unwilling to admit it.
Jona Velli pressed her.
"Ha! Look at that! Still acting tough when you already blurted it out! Blehh, what a dishonest person."
"You..."
Friel was fuming. Heaven knows why she took a liking to this absolute scumbag. She must have been blind back then.
Seeing Friel clench her fists, Jona Velli played it smart, knowing when to push and when to pull back.
"Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing you."
With that, Jona Velli's form shifted, turning into her loli Dragon Girl form.
"Hmph! Stop acting so—"
Before Friel could finish, she suddenly choked on her words.
Because she saw Vivian standing not far away, looking defiant.
She instinctively became wary.
'What's going on? She's not dead?'
'From that angle, why didn't she strike?'
Friel looked at the scummy Jona Velli.
'Could they have reached some kind of agreement? Strange.'
'She's a dignified demigod; what on earth could Jona Velli have that would interest her?'
Friel couldn't figure it out, and Jona Velli noticed that Friel was overthinking things.
"Alright, don't worry about it. From now on, the True Ancestor of Blood, Vivian, officially belongs to White Crystal City. The vampire Race led by Vivian and the Grand Duchy of Felba have officially become subordinate forces of White Crystal City!"
These words undoubtedly shocked everyone present.
"Are you joking! How could Her Great Majesty possibly..."
A vampire refused to believe what Jona Velli said.
"Are you questioning me? Trash."
Just after speaking, Jona Velli clenched her fist in his direction. Instantly, an ice-blue Magic Array expanded, and an Ice-Crystal Dragon Claw immediately crushed him.
This sudden scene caught all the creatures off guard. Who would have thought she would strike so directly the next second?
Vivian grit her teeth, feeling helpless against all this.
"Damn it..."
Jona Velli glanced back at her.
"What? Unconvinced?"
"Hmph!"
Vivian let out a cold snort, but in the next second, her crimson blood-eyes shuddered violently, pupils shrinking to pinpoints.
Jona Velli's blood was frantically torturing her from within, causing her immense agony.
Charcoal-white dragon horns grew from her head as she hugged herself tightly.
Fortunately, as a vampire, she was also a master of blood manipulation.
She was barely able to control Jona Velli's blood and manipulate her own blood to resist, lessening the pain.
Jona Velli was naturally well aware of this.
"Hmph, your will is quite stubborn, but it's all in vain."
With that, Jona Velli glared fiercely. Vivian's entire body emitted a cold chill, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.
During this time, the vampire that Jona Velli had crushed had already reformed his body, looking on with lingering fear.
"If you dare to resist again, I will kill that cat-eared vampire."
"You!"
"I admit, you have your own pride and are unwilling to submit. But do you think your pet can survive under my hand?"
Jona Velli spoke nonchalantly, but it made Vivian gnash her teeth.
It was true; she could endure and barely resist, but what about Valena? Could Valena?
Vivian fell silent, and Seranthir watched all of this.
His bright green vertical pupils showed a look of solemnity.
This Aberrant Dragon was truly unfathomable; he hadn't expected her to be able to defeat a demigod with a Legendary body.
From the look of it, she was an existence he completely couldn't contend with, and no Metal Dragon of the younger generation could compare to her.
No, to be precise, even in his generation, there might not be a single dragon who could stand as her equal.
However, it wasn't just that which caught his attention, but also that shimmering charcoal-white dragon body.
If he hadn't misjudged or mis-sensed it, this Aberrant Dragon seemed to have devoured star silver ore, and quite a lot of it.
And if he remembered correctly, a Metal Dragon senior, the Silver Dragon Empress, Liana, was currently heavily injured and in urgent need of a large amount of star silver ore for healing.
Thinking this, Seranthir looked toward Jona Velli.
"I hope she can help, for the sake of being the same race."
Then Seranthir flew toward Jona Velli. Seeing him fly off, Sasha thought he was going to do something irrational and quickly followed.
"Hey, wait for me."
Seeing Sasha fly away, Gris also hurried over. Ailar, Harmody, and Fenni did the same.
"Hmm?"
Jona Velli looked at Seranthir and saw that he was flying right toward her.
"What is it?"
Before he even got close, Seranthir heard Jona Velli's words.
Seranthir stopped in front of Jona Velli and got straight to the point.
"I need star silver ore. A large amount of star silver ore."
Seranthir's words momentarily stunned Jona Velli, and she sized him up.
Yes, he was a Bronze Dragon, alright.
"What does a Bronze Dragon like you want with... wait, what nonsense are you talking about? I don't have any star silver ore, don't talk rubbish."
Seeing that Jona Velli was unwilling to admit it, Seranthir didn't rush but continued.
"Rest assured, as a Bronze Dragon, I won't try to snatch it."
"What? Don't be so full of yourself. With your strength, how could you possibly snatch anything? Honestly, what are you acting for?"
Jona Velli rolled her eyes. Hearing this arrogant tone, Seranthir didn't get angry; instead, the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Don't you claim not to have any? If you don't have it, how could I snatch it from you?"
Jona Velli was stunned, then taken aback.
"You tricked me! You dare to trick me!"
"I did not. Back to the subject, this star silver ore is very important to me."
Seranthir spoke patiently, but Jona Velli was indifferent.
"Oh, what's that got to do with me? You mean just because you want it, I have to give it to you?"
"You misunderstand. I'm not looking for a handout. I know a thing or two about the value of star silver ore, and I will trade other things of equal value with you."
