Qin Luo and Wu Hua: You're a ruthless robber who kills without hesitation, how dare you say such a thing?
"Yes, children should act like children and be tolerant of the world."
"Yes, yes, yes, we should do good throughout our lives and keep benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness firmly in our hearts!"
They kept talking nonstop, and Qin Luo was almost brainwashed.
"Little one, are they possessed?"
Wu Hua had already covered her little ears, silently replying to her in her heart.
"I think I know the reason now."
What's the reason?
"The benevolent beast Zouyu, I can sense its presence!"
"Zouyu? It's a Buddhist beast?"
"No, it is extremely kind-hearted and takes it upon itself to save all living beings. It will not eat food that has not died naturally."
"Oh my god, wouldn't that make it easy to starve to death?"
"It might not happen in the beast realm, but here it's just a matter of time."
The two calculated the time it took for Qin Yuan to fall, estimating that the Zouyu would have fallen around the same time.
Realizing he couldn't wait any longer, he immediately threw a handful of powder, knocking all the robbers down.
Following the scent of the benevolent beast, Wu Hua arrived at the inner hall of the leader's residence.
But there was nothing inside, so the two of them started banging and knocking around the house.
See if there are any partitioned rooms or cellars, after a few minutes of effort
Wu Hua found a mechanism on the wall behind the bed.
It activated the mechanism, and the bed, which was originally in place, suddenly moved backward.
An underground entrance was revealed, and Qin Luo immediately carried Wu Hua downstairs.
It was pitch black inside, so she took the vine out.
The tendrils stretched forward with each step they took.
In no time, the flames on the vines illuminated the entire cellar as bright as day.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua also saw the whole picture inside.
The cellar was completely surrounded by large boxes.
A space was left open in the middle, and the Zouyu was kept in a cage in that space.
Its massive tiger body collapsed to the ground, struggling to breathe, and it looked like it was about to die.
Qin Luo quickly went to the cage and put Wu Hua down.
A single vine ripped open the lock on the cage.
Then, Wu Hua took her short legs and ran towards the cage.
Ignoring whether the Zouyu would choke, I picked up the water bottle and started pouring water into its mouth.
"You're really in a terrible situation. You're almost starving to death and you didn't even ask for help. If you had just shouted, Qin Yuan would have risked his life to save you."
After drinking a pot of water from the stream, the Zouyu finally regained some strength.
It looked at Wu Hua, complaining excitedly about the inhuman treatment it was receiving here.
“Dang Kang, this place is full of evil. They are so terrible. They kill living animals and feed me their flesh. If I hadn’t resisted to the death, you might not be seeing me now…”
Qin Luo…
Martial Arts Flower…
"You mean, they tried to feed you, and you refused?"
"Of course, we Zouyu are benevolent beasts. How could we eat meat obtained by killing?"
Qin Luo couldn't understand what it meant.
"What do you mean? Do you eat meat or not?"
The Zouyu noticed her only after hearing the sound, and then his eyes became wary.
"Dang Kang, have you been bewitched by these humans? You need to wake up! Apart from that simpleton, none of the humans here are good!"
Wu Hua was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
"Have you seen Xiao Dai?"
The Zouyu nodded and said, "When I was first captured, he gave me withered vegetable leaves..."
As she spoke, she looked at Qin Luo again.
"Dang Kang, you still haven't told me who she is. Did she lure you in here?"
Wu Hua then introduced it and Qin Luo to each other.
Upon learning of their relationship, Zouyu apologized to Qin Luo, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"Sister Beast, I'm sorry about that!"
Qin Luo waved his hand dismissively.
"It's okay, you still haven't told me whether you eat meat or not."
Zouyu nodded.
"As for food, I only eat those that died naturally, including fruits and vegetables."
Qin Luo found it all quite novel.
What constitutes the natural death of fruits and vegetables?
"Those that fall from the tree or wither and die naturally are considered to have died naturally."
After hearing its explanation, Qin Luo finally understood.
Then she asked another question.
"Would you like some milk? Freshly squeezed."
Upon hearing this, Zouyu looked at her eagerly.
“The milk I drink is from Mother Earth, a granary that provides nourishment for all living beings. After I finish drinking it, I will pray for the cow that produced the milk, wishing that it may be freed from the animal realm in its next life.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo exclaimed, "Wow, the Space Buffalo is in luck!"
A bucket of milk in exchange for escaping the animal realm—that's such a bargain!
Then, leaving behind the words "wait," he vanished into his spatial dimension to milk the cows.
Zouyu only started chatting with Wu Hua after Qin Luo disappeared.
"Dang Kang, did you go to save Qin Yuan? I sensed its presence when I arrived; it was very weak. I was barely able to save myself, so there was no way I could have saved it..."
It spoke with a face full of apology, as if it were confessing.
"I used the last bit of energy I had left to control those bandits, hoping they could abandon evil and do good. I just hope Qin Yuan is alright, otherwise I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life."
Wu Hua finally understood its ability to control others.
Everyone in this village who has ever been near it is practically a living Buddha.
"Qin Yuan has been rescued and I have sent him to the Heavenly Dao. After you finish drinking your milk, I will send you there too."
"No, I won't go."
Zouyu refused decisively.
Wu Hua couldn't understand: "Why? Give me a reason!"
The Zouyu looked at it as if it were a fool.
"Of course, it's to save the people here! This is the mission of our Zouyu tribe!"
