Upon hearing Uncle Gen's evaluation of "ridiculous," the Dragon Mother remained expressionless, quietly waiting for further words.
Uncle Gen chuckled, tugged at his beard beneath his chin, and laughed, "As expected of the Dragon Queen, you're quite generous. Saying 'no' and it's no more? Can the Demon Land escape calamity even when tucked in a corner during the great catastrophe? Ridiculous! Indeed, those old fellows in the Divine Land are formidable, even I admire them. Being able to orchestrate such grand schemes is their skill. The bit of fortune they now offer from Divine Land likely wasn't directly ordered by them, just that their descendants are stingy. Our Demon Land has always been a mixed bag, without any spirit of integrity for millennia. Now, although this bit of fortune is little, you say refuse and just refuse it?"
The Dragon Mother smiled and said, "Does Senior mean we still have to accept the Talisman Command from the Divine Land?"
