Upon hearing this question, Xiao Wu's first reaction was, "Isn't it normal for soul beasts to eat other soul beasts?"
Then, Xiao Wu felt that the question Yu Yan had asked might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface, and that it definitely contained some hidden meaning.
No matter how much Xiaowu tried to think outside the box, she couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.
"Isn't it normal for soul beasts to eat other soul beasts?"
Unable to think of any other answer, Xiao Wu spoke her mind, hoping to get the answer Yu Yan wanted to express.
"I also think it's a very normal thing for soul beasts to eat other soul beasts."
Seeing Xiao Wu's puzzled expression, Yu Yan continued to ask:
"Since it's normal for soul beasts to eat other soul beasts, why do you think it's cruel for humans to hunt soul beasts for soul rings? After all, both are killing soul beasts, so in my opinion there's not much difference."
To be honest, it's not surprising that Yu Yan felt sorry for the soul beasts that were killed and turned into soul rings.
Yu Yan, who enjoys spicy chicken, braised chicken, big plate chicken, Sichuan-style chicken, mushroom chicken, and KFC, also felt sorry for the chicks after watching them being quickly raised and killed in a chicken farm, finding it too cruel.
Yu Yan's statement silenced Xiao Wu; it was the first time she had heard this viewpoint.
This statement may sound strange at first glance, but with a little thought, you'll find that there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
The more Xiaowu thought about it, the more she felt that there was no problem with this statement.
Finally, facing Yu Yan who was waiting for her answer, Xiao Wu replied somewhat uncertainly, "Okay, okay...it doesn't seem to make much of a difference?"
Xiao Wu, who gave this answer, lay on the chair looking at the starry sky. Her expression became very interesting. She was thinking, she was wondering, she was a little confused.
"Actually, I've had similar thoughts too."
Yu Yan's words immediately drew Xiao Wu's attention. She looked at Yu Yan, waiting for him to continue.
"Take crayfish, which we both love to eat, as an example. When cooking crayfish, I also think about whether it is a bit cruel to put the crayfish directly into the pot."
"From a life perspective, they should also be considered life."
Hearing Yu Yan say these words, Xiao Wu's expression became even more interesting. She thought Yu Yan would say something to comfort her, but she didn't expect him to say these words.
In an instant, Xiao Wu suddenly felt that crayfish didn't taste so good anymore, and even wondered if she should eat crayfish in the future.
"Hahaha... I was just giving an example. Any kind person would not know how to deal with these problems. Don't worry about it too much. Eat and drink as usual. Life won't be ruined by these problems."
Xiao Wu's expression reminded Yu Yan of himself after watching the documentary; it felt familiar.
"It's impossible not to care. Do you have any ideas on how to solve these problems?"
Even though Yu Yan said that, Xiao Wu was still not in a good mood. How could she just ignore something like that?
"To be honest, there really are."
There's no solution to this on Earth, but there really is one on Douluo Continent.
"Huh?" Xiao Wu, who expected a negative answer, looked at Yu Yan in surprise: "What method?"
"As long as you become strong enough, you can change what you want to change. You can force everyone to stop hunting soul beasts, or you can make all living beings live in peace."
"If you become strong enough, you can even create new rules that allow Soul Masters to level up without hunting Soul Beasts."
Yu Yan offered a solution: Douluo Continent is a fantasy world, and as long as you are strong enough, you can solve your troubles.
If you can't solve your troubles, it means you're not strong enough.
If you are strong enough, everything will change because of your will, and nothing will bother you.
"ah?"
Xiao Wu's eyes widened; she had never imagined the answer would be like this.
"What's so surprising about that? It's a very simple principle; you'll understand if you think about it yourself."
"But this..."
Yu Yan stood up and ruffled Xiao Wu's hair, interrupting her thoughts:
"Don't overthink it. These kinds of things will only make you more and more upset, and they won't get you anywhere. Instead of thinking about those useless things, you should focus on becoming stronger. Once you're strong enough, it will be much more useful to think about these issues than to think about them now."
"It's time to sleep now. I've had a busy day, it's time to go back to sleep."
Good night, I hope you have sweet dreams tonight.
After chuckling at Xiao Wu, Yu Yan removed his hand from her head, quickly returned to his room, closed the door, and prepared to sleep.
The purpose of saying this to Xiaowu was simply to exchange ideas and let her know some different perspectives and ways of thinking.
Yu Yan isn't actually good at comforting others.
Yu Yan felt that Xiao Wu's thoughts on these things were just a whim. After all, in the original storyline, Xiao Wu only thought about these things and did not take any actual action.
Because of a busy day, Yu Yan quickly fell asleep after lying in bed.
Xiao Wu, who was in another room, was having trouble sleeping. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
When I close my eyes, all I see are the viewpoints Yu Yan shared, and occasionally my own naive viewpoints flash by as the two viewpoints collide.
How could anyone possibly fall asleep under these circumstances?
As Xiao Wu drifted into a dream, she had a very strange dream.
She dreamt that she became an incredibly powerful being, and with a simple wave of her hand, she changed the rules of the world, altering the rule that Soul Masters had to hunt Soul Beasts to level up, and making the entire world follow her will.
In addition, Xiao Wu dreamed that she asked Yu Yan to cook delicious food for her every day, even if she was unwilling, she had to cook delicious food for her every day.
While having this dream, Xiao Wu's expression in reality was one of happiness.
When she was sober, Xiaowu was conflicted; she was still thinking about what she should do.
In her subconscious mind during sleep, Xiao Wu had already made her choice. She felt that Yu Yan was right; as long as she was strong enough, she could solve the problem that was bothering her.
As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black," Xiao Wu, who grew up with Yu Yan, might actually do something that surprises or surprises Yu Yan.
The next morning, a sleepy Xiao Wu was dragged by Yu Yan to the mountaintop to wait for the sunrise.
Standing on the mountaintop, Xiao Wu thought of her dream from last night, and suddenly she felt less conflicted.
Seeing Yu Yan meditating cross-legged, Xiao Wu put away her carefree attitude and decided that she must cultivate seriously from now on and never be lazy.
Thinking this, Xiao Wu also sat down cross-legged and absorbed the high-quality soul power emanating from Yu Yan's body.
