[Number Nine: As for the question of whether I can teach you all, I won't say... but I think Everyone here already has an answer in their hearts.]
[Everyone: We'll talk about it later!]

...
This guy!
Seeing the Group Chat filled with those four words, Leon felt his face flush instantly.
Wait, what?
Why do I feel like I'm experiencing social death?
Dammit!
Just because I haven't been serious for a long time, now that I want to be serious, you guys won't let me?
Although most people in the Group Chat were just following the trend and didn't understand the hidden meaning of those four words, it still made Leon cover his face.
[Leon: I have a request for Everyone. Regarding this "talk about it later," those who know, know. If you don't know, don't ask, and those who do know, don't explain it to those who don't.]
[Leon: I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person.]
[Leon: Please!]
[Qian Renxue: Hahaha!!]
[Ning Rongrong: I'm seriously going to die laughing. Let me go see if Brother Leon's face is red?]
[Zhu Zhuqing: The power of the masses is indeed formidable. Even Leon is too embarrassed to face it now.]
[Number Nine: Dear Group Owner, you wouldn't want Everyone to know what those words really mean, would you?]
[Dugu Yan: Hehehe!]
[Liu Erlong: You guys are truly powerful, so powerful that even Leon is speaking softly.]
[Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: So what does it actually mean? You guys are making me even more curious.]
[Call Me Her Majesty: I know, the Little Princess told me!]
[Everyone:???]
[Leon: Rongrong, get over here.]
Leon then picked up Ning Rongrong in a princess carry. It looked like he planned to throw her directly into the sky and let her fly.
Ning Rongrong was also scared.
Why do I have to fly during the day after flying at night?
[Ning Rongrong: No, listen to my excuse! My explanation was the normal meaning... it means a tactful and polite refusal!]
[Ning Rongrong: Really!]
The two Gu Yuenas looked at each other, their expressions somewhat sad.
[Gu Yuena 1: Why are you all saying "talk about it later" and helping Leon refuse us?]
[Gu Yuena 2: Why?]
[Zhang Lexuan: Maybe because it's too difficult? No one wants Leon to be that tired.]
[Ye Guyi: 666!]
[Shui Yue'er: Ye Guyi, not bad. How would you know?]
[Ye Guyi: What? I don't know what you're talking about, I don't know anything!]
[Bo Saixi: Under the influence of Number Nine and the others, there are fewer and fewer honest people in this Group Chat.]
Leon was also distressed.
[Leon: If life were only like the first time we met, why would the autumn wind sorrow over the painted fan?]
[Number Nine: Don't be like this. The more you act like this, the more we want to laugh.]
[Xiao Wu: Hahaha!!]
[Dugu Yan: I'm seriously going to die laughing. Didn't you, Leon, teach us all of this?]
The group of people couldn't hold back anymore and burst into happy laughter.
This left Leon completely numb with worry.
[Call Me Her Majesty: So strange, I don't even know what you guys are laughing at!]
[Gu Yuena 1: Then when exactly can you help us think of a solution?]
[Gu Yuena 2: Yeah?]
[Zhu Zhuqing: Didn't Everyone just say it?]
[Leon: Alright, stop joking. Let's get back to business and continue talking about the Snow Empress.]
[Leon: Uh... it seems there's nothing left to tell about the Snow Empress up to this point. In the end, she followed Huo Yuhao and ascended to the Divine Realm.]
[Ma Xiaotao: So although she doesn't have a love brain, she isn't much different from Xiao Wu, Ah Yin, and the others.]
[Number Nine: Not quite. The Snow Empress becoming a soul spirit was passive. If she had a choice, she probably wouldn't have sacrificed herself to Huo Yuhao. The Ice Empress, on the other hand, isn't much different.]
[Qian Renxue: This matter is actually hard to judge. Soul Beasts are Soul Beasts after all; we can't use human moral standards to determine if they did something wrong.]
[Zhu Zhuqing: If we look at it from a human perspective, then their behavior is a betrayal of their race and ingratitude.]
[Zhu Zhuqing: If we look at it from a Soul Beast perspective, then their behavior isn't an issue. The Soul Beast Clan has no morality to speak of. They grow up through instinctive slaughter and have never received the protection of the Soul Beast Clan, so they have no obligation to give back.]
[Number Nine: Zhuqing's analysis is very comprehensive; that is indeed the logic.]
[Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: I didn't quite understand some of that.]
[Dark Avenger: Didn't Leon say that humans are born from human mothers and Soul Beasts are born from Soul Beast mothers? They're all mother-born, so there's no difference?]
[Leon:...]
[Leon: We humans have morality. Human society has morals and mutual aid, which is why we don't grow up in a constant slaughter like wild beasts.]
[Leon: This safe growth environment isn't the effort of a single person, but the cohesion of all humanity. Therefore, growing up under this moral protection, you have an obligation to guard it.]
[Leon: But the Soul Beast Clan is different. From birth, they engage in instinctive slaughter. They are neither protected nor favored, so in principle, they have no obligation to protect anything.]
[Call Me Her Majesty: So we aren't considered the disgrace of the spirit beasts?]
[Leon: You are, because you were protected by Di Tian and the others since you were young.]
[Leon: The Snow Empress might not be, because she had no parents or tribe. But the Ice Empress, Xiao Wu, Ah Yin, and the others also count.]
[Leon: The Soul Beast Clan is too broad a term. If we divide them into the Ice Jade Scorpion tribe, Soft Bones Rabbit tribe, and Blue Silver Grass tribe—if the tribe protected them as they grew, and they didn't protect the tribe once they had the power, then they are ungrateful.]
[Bo Saixi: That makes sense!]
[Zhang Lexuan: So that's how it is!]
[Dugu Yan: This is indeed quite complicated. I didn't quite get it either.]
[Number Nine: There's no need to understand it fully. This is an innate sense of unity and cognition.]
[Cute Snow Woman 1: Then we aren't the disgrace of the spirit beasts anymore, right?]
[ Little Snow Woman 2: Only us.]
[Ice Empress 1:...]
[Ice Empress 2:...]
This immediately silenced the Ice Empress, Xiao Wu, Ah Yin, and the others.
Ridiculous!
How did eating melons lead to this?
[Gu Yuena 1: Then what is the solution?]
[Gu Yuena 2:???]
[Leon: There is no solution to this. In the world of Soul Beasts, it's big fish eating small fish; it's instinct and a necessity for survival.]
[Leon: So this isn't a matter of "talking about it later," but a problem that simply has no solution. The only way to prevent Soul Beasts from being wiped out is to make it so the Soul Master system no longer needs to hunt for spirit rings.]
[Leon: At the same time, the Soul Beast Clan must receive protection from humans and from the powerhouses of their own clan, so they aren't hunted for Soul Bones.]
