Ellie naturally wouldn't agree to the Seven-Colored Dragon King's request.
"Hmph! I don't care what grudge you have with the Black Lizard, it's my prey now," Ellie continued, feigning a very displeased expression.
If he was a smart guy, then she should pretend to be a fool to make him lower his guard, Ellie thought.
"Heh heh! My apologies then, Dragon Emperor's Child, would you be able to give me the Destruction Dragon King under your foot?" the Seven-Colored Dragon King continued to ask.
"Oh ho! Why should I give my prey to you?" Ellie crossed her arms directly, putting on an unwilling expression.
"I think... a Ranch plus the lives of many of my subordinates' kin should be enough to compensate for the Destruction Dragon King's life, right?" The Seven-Colored Dragon King's meaning was quite clear; the destruction of the Ranch and the dragon killed earlier... all would be forgiven if the Destruction Dragon King was handed over.
"Hey! Black Lizard, so you're that cheap in the eyes of this Seven-Colored Lizard? How pitiful..." Ellie ignored the Seven-Colored Dragon King entirely and instead lowered her head to speak to the Destruction Dragon King.
"Seven-Colored! You despicable and shameless fellow! I haven't even settled the score with you for scheming against this King yet..." Before the Destruction Dragon King could finish speaking, Ellie stomped on it again.
"Did I give you permission to speak, you Black Lizard? Do you believe I won't really hand you over?" Ellie said coldly, putting on a very displeased expression.
The Destruction Dragon King's large head immediately dared not make another sound after hearing Ellie's words.
Seeing Ellie's protective stance over the Destruction Dragon King, the Seven-Colored Dragon King's aura instantly turned cold.
"Hoh... it seems you don't intend to hand over the Destruction Dragon King?" The Seven-Colored Dragon King's tone suddenly became serious, and it stared intently at Ellie.
"I don't have a habit of handing over prey I've already caught," Ellie replied without the slightest hesitation, and even glared back with an expression that feared nothing.
The size difference was already huge; she had to look up to glare at the Seven-Colored Dragon King, so she absolutely couldn't lose in terms of presence.
Sir Xia Na, behind Ellie, looked at the giant dragon in front of her, radiating various dazzling lights all over its body, feeling very uneasy.
After such a high-intensity battle just now, Bai Xia had also used several powerful spells consecutively. Was she going to provoke this giant dragon in her current state? Wasn't this courting death? And now there were two dragons in front of them!
"Is there absolutely no other way?" the Seven-Colored Dragon King said coldly, and as he spoke, he clearly showed killing intent towards Ellie.
"If you can lie on the ground and expose your belly to me, I might consider it..." Ellie scoffed.
"You fellow!" Before the Seven-Colored Dragon King could react, the Red Dragon it brought with it flared up first, and even opened its mouth directly at Ellie, intending to launch an attack.
"This is no place for you to speak! Conrad Gatina! Watch your attitude!" The Seven-Colored Dragon King immediately shouted to stop the rude Red Dragon, and that Red Dragon obediently retreated, though still looking unconvinced.
"Hmph! What an ill-disciplined subordinate..." Ellie turned her head away, striking an arrogant and overbearing pose.
Ellie naturally understood that fighting two opponents in this situation would indeed be tough, but if it really came to a fight, dragging Sir Xia Na and escaping would be very simple. In fact, she hoped the Seven-Colored Dragon King would be provoked enough to attack directly.
After all, the reason she was still provoking them in this situation was to conduct a test... a test of the Seven-Colored Dragon King's magnanimity.
"I truly apologize! You've seen me make a fool of myself. My kin offended you. Can you forgive her for being ignorant?" The Seven-Colored Dragon King's tone suddenly changed; the murderous aura from before instantly vanished.
Ellie couldn't possibly have missed such obvious killing intent. The sudden change in attitude made Ellie feel even more uneasy.
"As a magnanimous person, I naturally won't take such a small matter to heart. So, do you have anything else to say? If not, then don't disturb me while I deal with my prey!" Ellie waved her hand at the Seven-Colored Dragon King in front of her, as if trying to shoo them away.
"This, I'm afraid, I cannot obey. After all, you intend to inquire about my information from the Destruction Dragon King. If it reveals some unrealistic information to you, I would be very troubled," the Seven-Colored Dragon King said respectfully.
"In that case, then..." Ellie directly stretched out her hand, full of momentum, and pointed at the Seven-Colored Dragon King.
"Then you yourself shall answer! About the information of you, this Seven-Colored Lizard!" Ellie demanded.
"..." Upon hearing this, the Seven-Colored Dragon King silently closed his eyes. Was he finally going to make a move?
Seeing this, Ellie was actually a little happy. As soon as he made a move, she would feign a battle with him, then take the opportunity to drag Sir Xia Na and escape. With no information at all, it was unrealistic for her to fight two opponents alone.
"Of course... but in exchange, could you also share some information about yourself?" The Seven-Colored Dragon King opened his eyes and said with a slightly pleased tone.
"..." Now it was Ellie's turn to be speechless. Difficult... this guy was quite difficult to deal with!
"Since you've sincerely asked, then I shall mercifully tell you!" Ellie raised her head, put one hand on her hip, and pointed at the Seven-Colored Dragon King, who was much taller than her, and said.
Since this guy was a strategist, she couldn't follow conventional tactics. If pretending to be foolish didn't work, then she had to appear smarter than him.
Moreover... although strategists were tricky, under specific conditions, they were easier to fool than physical fighters. Just think about how the Blood Emperor was trapped, and you'll understand.
"My weakness is that I get very angry after being played, and once I get angry, I can't control myself!" Ellie said, clenching her fist.
"Hoh? And then... hmm..." Before the Seven-Colored Dragon King could finish speaking, the human who was so arrogant in front of him instantly flew to his face as if teleporting, and a punch came with lightning speed.
If he had been in a battle-ready state, the Seven-Colored Dragon King was confident he could block it, but this sudden attack caught Seven-Colored Dragon King Blaines completely off guard.
So he took the punch head-on, and it was quite a powerful one. Bu Lai Nie Si felt several of his teeth had been knocked out of his mouth. For his hundreds of teeth, losing a few didn't really matter.
"After I lose control, I'll beat people up!" Ellie's punch almost scared Sir Xia Na to death.
In this situation, was Bai Xia's brain fried by her Explosion Magic to actively provoke these two giant dragons?
