Harriot sighed as he looked at the snake with exhaustion in his eyes.
"He crushed his Dao again," the poodle answered. "He says he would rather not become a Dao Lord than become a Dao Lord with a Dao he does not approve of."
"That's stupid. He's the one coming up with the Daos. How can they be something he doesn't approve of?" Eclipse asked. But there was no real question to this answer. The snake was free to do as he wished as long as he did not harm the garden in some way - it wasn't like they had a desperate need of Dao Lords or anything.
