The Evil Dragon's Secret

Alright, alright, alright.

This Young Dragon that the Evil Dragon Lance brought back is getting more and more arrogant.

On the first day the Evil Dragon Lance brought her back, the Young Dragon trembled when she saw it, this Hellhound.

By the second day, the Young Dragon already dared to snatch its meat buns.

Today is the third day, and there's no more small talk; she's directly telling it, this Hellhound, to go herd sheep.

Telling Turtle Turtle to herd cattle.

And she, this Young Dragon, will raise pigs?

Young Dragon raising pigs?

Er Gouzi, baring its teeth at the Young Dragon, suddenly felt that the Young Dragon still had some respect for it, at least she didn't ask it to raise pigs.

Herding sheep is much more dignified than raising pigs.

If Evil Dragon Lance agreed to raise a herd of pigs, cattle, and sheep, it wouldn't mind.

"Woof woof."

"Er Gouzi says your suggestion is very good, and it's willing to herd sheep if Evil Dragon Lance agrees. Provided that you really will raise pigs."

Turtle Turtle translated Er Gouzi's dog language for Lucia.

"I don't mind raising cattle either. To be honest, a long, long time ago, I wanted to experience what it feels like to have pets. If Evil Dragon Lance adopts your suggestion, I'm willing to herd cattle."

"I'll really raise pigs."

To get a bite of meat, Lucia went all out; she would be the first Imperial Princess to raise pigs.

Anyway, no one on the island knows her, so what if she raises pigs? By raising pigs, she can share the burden on the Evil Dragon and also ensure that the island's natives have meat to eat every meal.

When her identity is revealed in the future, Er Gouzi and Turtle Turtle might even be moved by her pig-raising behavior.

A Princess raising pigs.

Which princess in the human world would sacrifice her image to raise pigs? She, this Princess, doesn't mind raising pigs, she just doesn't know if the Evil Dragon minds having a herd of pigs, cattle, and sheep on the island.

Wait for the Evil Dragon to wake up... and ask?

Evil Dragon Lance woke up.

He squatted on a boulder, eating the Corn that the Young Dragon had brought him, and probably afraid that he would choke, she thoughtfully prepared a cup of water for him.

The water cup was a Zisha Cup, purely made by Dragon claws, and there were three models: a Zisha Cup for use when he turned into a human.

A Zisha Cup for use when shrunk to about three meters in size.

A Zisha Cup for use by an adult Black Dragon.

Considering the size of an adult Black Dragon's Dragon Body, the last extra-large Zisha Cup could be enlarged or reduced.

The Young Dragon poured a cup of Mountain Spring Water into his extra-large Zisha Cup.

Speaking of which, his extra-large Zisha Cup could fit a Young Dragon inside.

"This is my teacup for drinking water, don't treat it like a bathtub for bathing."

"No, no, no, how could I possibly use your teacup as a bathtub? But your teacup is really big enough to hold me and steep me like tea."

The Evil Dragon is big, and all sorts of daily necessities used by the Evil Dragon are also big.

When she went to the Evil Dragon Workshop to find a brush, that brush was almost as tall as she was.

The brush head was two or three meters long.

And the Iron Hammer used by the Evil Dragon when working, the hammerhead was half the size of her Dragon Body.

With such a big hammerhead, a single strike would kill a Young Dragon.

If that hammerhead were used to attack humans, one strike... I'm afraid it could directly smash people into paper-thin pieces. With a ferocious Evil Dragon like Lance who knows how to use all kinds of tools, would any brave warriors dare to come and tao fa him? Not to mention that the Evil Dragon Lance seems to also use weapons. Speaking of which... does the Evil Dragon use weapons when he transforms into a human? Or... can he use weapons in Dragon form? Should I ask?

Forget it, what if he can use weapons in Dragon form? If I ask out of curiosity, what if the Evil Dragon makes me learn how to use weapons? The Evil Dragon has already arranged two courses for her, if there's another one, will she still have time to consider her escape plan?

Two courses: 1. Learning Draconic.

2. Ramming Turtle Turtle to enhance the Dragon Body's resistance to blows.

And one unpracticed course: Farming.

Anyway, she'll have to farm sooner or later, and since she'll be farming anyway, there's nothing wrong with experiencing what it feels like to raise pigs in advance. A Princess raising pigs, discussing the hardships of the people, who can compare to her?

"Lance, what do you think of my suggestion just now?"

"What suggestion?"

"Raising pigs, Er Gouzi, and Turtle Turtle and I have already discussed it. If you agree, I'll raise pigs, Er Gouzi will raise sheep, and Turtle Turtle will raise cattle, so we won't lack meat to eat in the future."

Lucia hoped the Evil Dragon would agree. Raising pigs is simple, just feed them anything and they'll get fat. The key is that if the Evil Dragon ever makes her drink some strange medicinal liquid, the pigs can also be used to test the medicine.

"Raise pigs? Have you ever raised pigs before?"

"No, no."

An Imperial Princess raising pigs, wouldn't she be laughed to death by the nobles of the Imperial Capital?

On the island where the Evil Dragon lives, she can be a pig-raising Princess.

No, a pig-raising Empress! Not in the Imperial Capital, she has to save face.

"I have a secret, do you want to hear it?"

"???"

Wasn't the topic raising pigs? How did it suddenly switch to "I have a secret"?

The Evil Dragon's secret... "I want to hear it!"

How could she not want to hear the Evil Dragon's secret? In order to hear the Evil Dragon's secret clearly, Lucia deliberately moved closer to the Evil Dragon Lance.

"Actually... I've raised pigs before."

The Evil Dragon has raised pigs? That's not right, wasn't he talking about a secret? How did the topic turn back to raising pigs again? "Lance, weren't you talking about your secret?"

"My secret is that I used to raise pigs."

"."

That's considered a secret?

Lucia felt cheated. Shouldn't a secret be something like... a princess once bore you a Dragon Whelp?

What kind of secret is raising pigs?

"Then why aren't there any pigs on the island?"

"I raised pigs a long time ago. How should I put it? Raising pigs isn't really suitable for us. I'm not looking down on your pig-raising talents, but what I mean is, pigs would die if they saw us.

We're Giant Dragons; pigs would be scared to death just by looking at us. Giant Dragons raising pigs isn't very friendly to the pigs. Give up the pig-raising career. Being a farmer Young Dragon who works at sunrise and rests at sunset is pretty good.

Also, pig manure pollutes the environment. I don't want to smell pig manure when I go to sleep."

"."

Oh right, pigs also have to poop. She's fine with feeding pigs, but shoveling pig poop is out of the question. She might as well just farm.

Sigh, the title of Pig-Raising Empress is gone.

After waking up from her afternoon nap, Lucia went to bump into Turtle Turtle, still three hundred times.

Evil Dragon Lance went to prepare her medicine. After drinking it, she'll turn into a stinky Young Dragon again.

She asked the Evil Dragon if she could wait until she finished cleaning Turtle Turtle's shell before drinking the medicine. The Evil Dragon agreed.

At sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the sea, as if the ocean was covered with a layer of golden gauze.

Turtle Turtle floated on the golden sea, and a Young Dragon stood on Turtle Turtle's wide shell with a brush... scrubbing. Evil Dragon Lance squatted on the beach with an easel in front of him, and there was a canvas on the easel.

On both sides of the Dragon Body were various Pure Natural Pigments that he had mixed himself.

Sunset, the sparkling golden sea, and a Young Dragon standing on Turtle Turtle's back, cleaning its shell with a brush.

After who knows how long, Evil Dragon Lance once again had the desire to paint.

He thought of several names for the painting: [Golden Friendship][Dragon and Turtle][Young Dragon on Turtle's Back][Turtle Under Young Dragon's Feet], etc.
