"Damn it, she's eaten all my bait!"
Mu You looked at the empty fishnet bag inside the bigger fishing net, and he was utterly speechless.
This bait, laced with a sleeping potion, was specifically reserved for catching magic fish. He had hoped to net loads of fish, but instead, he ended up with all his bait eaten by one fish, and it's a mermaid no less...
If this mermaid were caught by an ordinary fisherman or a slave trader, they would probably go hysterically happy.
A Nicaro mermaid resembling humans in appearance and not cannibalistic is extremely valuable and would fetch a fortune at auction! Even the poorest fisherman could become wealthy overnight, reaching the peak of their life.
However, to Mu You, this creature was not so heavenly, but more of a hot potato.
The most he could do with this mermaid is to use some of her scales to refine medicine, but otherwise, it's of no use.
