Lucia hadn't forgotten what the Evil Dragon said about using her as bait to fish for deep sea beasts.
Given the Evil Dragon's temperament, once he was in the mood for fishing, he might indeed use her as "bait." Even Er Gouzi had been used as bait, and using young dragons picked up from the human world would be even less of a psychological burden.
She absolutely did not want to become bait for the Evil Dragon's fishing. Even if the Evil Dragon could ensure her survival, she didn't want to take a trip inside the mouth of a sea beast...
She was fine with eating grilled squid, but being used as bait was out of the question.
"With you as bait, we could catch a big fish," he said.
"How big could the fish be?" she asked.
"About four or five times your size, maybe even bigger than I've described," he replied.
"Can't you just not use me as bait and let me raise pigs to feed you instead?" she bargained.
"....."
Who is raising whom?
