Torch Dragon seemed to realize that the script was not quite what it had imagined. It had originally assumed Qin Yi was obviously here to rescue it, so it had not thought much of it and had even chatted idly with him. But once asked this question, it was no fool. It quickly sorted out that matters were far from simple.
It was the Dragon God of Creation. Every move it made could have an immensely significant impact on the situation; it was not some old man in a cell who could simply be let out.
If it made the wrong choice—if, for instance, it went out and sought to deal with humanity—then this would not be unsealing it. It would be reinforcing the seal.
Of course, it could lie and deal with things after getting out. But it also understood perfectly well what the principal contradiction was. Its natural allies were right here, yet it would only seek to trick them into releasing it, then turn against them once outside? That was plainly the stupidest possible course of action.
Whether this young man was boasting about his "wife" or not, the young man himself was already at the Late Stage of No Form. That was no joke. To be honest, Torch Dragon was not even his match right now. If it dared start an internal conflict after getting out, it would probably get to try another way of dying and another kind of seal...
This was also where Qin Yi's confidence in speaking so bluntly came from.
By laying everything out and making it clear beforehand, he truly wished to reach a consensus—not the comical consensus from before that "the Dragon Clan didn't grow that way." Torch Dragon could understand that this young man genuinely wanted to accomplish something.
