"Human massacre of Spirit Beasts? Does that even need to be said? Of course, it's a good thing."
"Exactly! Those damned Spirit Beasts often rush into our farmlands, harming us farmers and our crops. Is killing them really wrong?"
Yu Chen was among the crowd, explaining the use of spirit tools to the common people.
Because of this, upon hearing Ah Yin's question, before Yu Chen could even speak, the surrounding villagers had already naturally taken over the conversation.
Seeing this, Ah Yin immediately began to argue.
"But there are also Spirit Beasts that have never actively harmed humans. For example, plant-type Spirit Beasts. They grow quietly in the forest, yet they are still hunted and killed by Spirit Masters, used as tools for spirit ring advancement. Should they be exterminated?"
"You once said that the purpose of you establishing Blue Tyrant Academy was to create a harmonious society that had never appeared on the Douluo Continent. Does your so-called harmonious society include Spirit Beasts?"
After finishing, she looked at Yu Chen with curious eyes.
Yu Chen heard her words and didn't hesitate.
He simply nodded and said, "Of course it does. However, I think the relationship between humans and Spirit Beasts is already very harmonious right now."
Hearing him say this, Ah Yin was naturally greatly surprised. "Spirit Masters often wantonly hunt Spirit Beasts to obtain spirit rings. There is killing happening every moment on this Continent. You call this 'very harmonious'?"
After finishing, her voice even carried a hint of anger.
Facing Ah Yin's anger at this moment, Yu Chen's expression remained unchanged. He spoke, calmly counter-questioning her.
"Then how do you think it should be handled? In your ideal, how can humans and Spirit Beasts coexist harmoniously and never infringe upon each other? You're good, I'm good?"
"Humans kill each other. Hoping that humans and Spirit Beasts will never harm each other and coexist harmoniously. Miss, do you really think this is possible? And have you ever thought that it is precisely because of the existence of this relationship that the fragile balance between Spirit Beasts and Spirit Masters is maintained right now?
The relationship between the two is like that of wolves and sheep. Do you think it is good or bad for wolves to eat sheep?"
Ah Yin answered without hesitation, blurting out, "Of course it's bad. Sheep are herbivores and have never harmed anyone! It's naturally bad for wolves to eat sheep."
"Then if we kill all the wolves, do you know what will happen? Do you think the sheep will start living carefree lives from then on?"
Yu Chen continued to ask. But this time, before Ah Yin could speak, he continued on his own.
"I'll tell you, no.
At first, for a period of time, the sheep would indeed live very well, but soon, not only the sheep, but the entire grassland would fall into a devastating disaster because of it.
Because without natural predators, the sheep would begin to multiply endlessly. At that time, all the weeds on the entire pasture would be eaten by them.
When there is no grass left to eat, all the sheep will starve to death together.
Because both sheep and wolves are indispensable links in the food chain. If any link is missing, the entire chain will collapse. For the entire World, it will fall into a truly endless disaster.
You often say that plant-type Spirit Beasts are content with the World, but have you ever seen what plant-type Spirit Beasts look like when they proliferate? Solitary yin does not give birth, solitary yang does not grow; that is the principle.
So this is not a question of good or evil that should be discussed at all. It has nothing to do with good or evil; it's just instinct.
As long as there isn't excessive hunting, like a fisherman using a 'kill-all net', it cannot be said to be wrong."
"How can this be? According to what you're saying, a 100,000-year Spirit Beast should be hunted and killed by humans?" Ah Yin felt her worldview had been impacted.
"There are Titled Douluo who still die tragically at the hands of their enemies on this Continent from time to time. Is it rare for a 100,000-year Spirit Beast to be hunted and killed by humans?
However, wantonly hunting 100,000-year Spirit Beasts without distinguishing between good and evil is indeed a mistake.
If I could make laws, I would definitely only hunt those who are evil."
Ah Yin asked, "But what about the kind ones? How will you deal with them? Let them stay in the forest forever, shrinking back and not coming out?"
Yu Chen said seriously, "That's not it either. If possible, I'd even like to make friends with a 100,000-year Spirit Beast."
Ah Yin was stunned. "You actually want to make friends with a Spirit Beast?"
"Yes, my Spirit Luo San Pao is one of my best friends. If I can make friends with a Spirit, why can't I make friends with a Spirit Beast?" Yu Chen smiled.
Ah Yin was completely stunned after hearing this.
She never expected the answer she heard from Yu Chen today to be like this.
Afterward, the two continued to exchange ideas extensively on the issue of the food chain.
This kind of answer, which discarded good and evil and approached it from a purely instinctive perspective, could be said to have opened a completely new door for Ah Yin.
She now felt incredibly novel.
Her gaze towards Yu Chen couldn't help but change again.
At this moment, she truly felt from the bottom of her heart that he was vastly different from the other men she had seen since entering the human World.
And seeing the constant changes in her expression, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, who had accompanied her, felt their hearts burn with anxiety.
Finally, they couldn't hold back any longer. They interrupted the two's conversation and questioned Yu Chen.
"What instinct, no right or wrong? You speak so grandiosely.
Then I ask you, Yu Chen, if a 100,000-year Spirit Beast were bound hand and foot and thrown in front of you right now, would you choose to kill her, take her spirit ring for your own use, or befriend her?"
As soon as these words came out, before Yu Chen's expression could react, Ah Yin, who had just fallen into contemplation, couldn't help but tremble all over.
She looked up again, her gaze towards Yu Chen filled with anticipation, but also a hint of nervousness.
...
The heavenly curtain played to this point, and the image froze on Ah Yin's complex and difficult-to-understand gaze.
And seeing the expression she was showing at this moment, the onlookers on the Douluo Continent did not, as usual, engage in heated discussions about it.
When they spoke now, their words were instead full of impatience and annoyance.
"What exactly is this Ah Yin trying to ask?"
"Exactly! It's one thing not to ask about Spirits, but she doesn't even ask about spirit tools, just keeps asking about Spirit Beast knowledge. Does she really like Spirit Beasts that much?"
"Boring. I was planning to watch the romance details, but this is what I get? The heavenly curtain showing this is worse than showing how Yu Chen transformed Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Academy and how he used spirit tools to improve the lives of commoners."
"That's right, that's right. How is this any different from wasting time?"
"And what kind of questions did the Tang Hao from the parallel World ask at the end? That's a 100,000-year spirit ring right in front of him. Can any Spirit Master truly resist that temptation and not kill? Anyway, if it were me, I definitely couldn't resist."
It wasn't just the ordinary onlookers.
The Shrek Academy group, upon seeing this scene, were equally confused.
They didn't understand why Ah Yin was so interested in Spirit Beasts.
Only two people listened with particular seriousness.
One was Xiao Wu, and the other was Tang Hao.
To tell the truth, only Tang Hao knew the real situation.
Only he knew that the girl on the heavenly curtain, who looked as perfect as an immortal, was not human herself.
But a 100,000-year Spirit Beast in human form.
Only he knew that Ah Yin was not overflowing with kindness.
But because all of this was truly closely related to her vital interests.
Because of this, when he heard his parallel World self ask Yu Chen such a question, he couldn't help but repeatedly applaud in his heart.
He felt that this question was truly excellent.
He also felt that any normal person would absolutely not be able to resist the temptation of a 100,000-year spirit ring.
Therefore, Yu Chen's final answer would definitely be the word 'kill'!
And this word 'kill' would definitely shatter all of Ah Yin's good feelings for him.
There was absolutely no way they could get together.
"Sure enough, whether in this life or in the parallel World, I am the person most suitable for Ah Yin. Only I would choose to give up the temptation of a 100,000-year spirit ring and resolutely choose Ah Yin."
"But looking at it this way, what's the deal with the token of love?"
Tang Hao thought, first with joy, then his brows furrowed again.
He fell into deep doubt.
I'm having writer's block, and I have a lot of family matters these past two days. My apologies to everyone. The author will try to return to normal tomorrow.
