Pretending To Be A Boss

Jin Lu shook her head uneasily, not daring to acknowledge such blasphemous words against the Sea God.

Tang Xian was sure he had voiced Jin Lu's most desired thoughts.

But the creatures of the apocalypse were too powerful, so powerful that Jin Lu didn't dare to resist.

Moreover, it seemed that she had some objections to the way Tang Xian dealt with the Hell Flame Wolf.

Tang Xian noticed and chuckled.

"Do you think it's cruel?"

Jin Lu said:

"Not really... It's just that the method you've thought of, called 'domestication', makes me uncomfortable."

"Why uncomfortable? Do you feel like you and your people are being 'domesticated' by the Sea God?"

Jin Lu suddenly became angry, glaring at Tang Xian with wide eyes.

But Tang Xian didn't back down.

He said:

"I'm merely discussing business with you. I can erase the memories of these Hell Flame Wolves, I can also help you kill the Great Tengu, and make you the ruler of this island. As for domestication—"

Tang Xian glanced at Tang Xiaojiu, knowing that the little girl was actually concerned about having killed the Golden Patterned Leopard and then blaming it on the wolves. Tang Xian believed it was time for Tang Xiaojiu to develop the awareness of a top predator.

"In this world, we all have things we love, like our own kind. We even like many other living creatures across species.

But for the things that keep us alive, we must have a few things we do not love and can treat without any compassion. Without these things, and if we choose to love everything like saints, we won't be able to survive at the basic level."

Just as humans preach boundless love for other humans but can arbitrarily domesticate creatures like chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, cows, and sheep.

Some people even do the same to cats and dogs. In the ancient dog meat factories, sales were always substantial.

Others, who love more things, become vegetarians. But there is always something they do not love and can treat as they wish.

Carnivorous humans, omnivorous humans, vegetarian humans—none have any difference in terms of morality, ethics, or humanity. This is not hypocrisy.

Tang Xian's thoughts were even simpler, why domesticate Hell Flame Wolves? Because they're delicious.

He is an extreme being who, aside from humans, loves nothing. As long as it's not human, doesn't have a humanoid form, and is edible, it could be food.

If it weren't for his new identity as the demon child of Eden, Tang Xian believed his ancestors were probably unemotional Guangdong People.

Jin Lu understood what Tang Xian meant. Yet she still found it difficult to accept such overly rational reasoning for a moment.

Tang Xian continued:

"Domesticate them, and from now on your people will live safely on the island. Or give them a fair chance to compete with your people, subjecting your people to nearly twenty percent of families suffering from the loss of spouses and children year after year. The choice is yours."

Respect for food is fine, but pity is not necessary. That was Tang Xian's attitude.

After much thought, Jin Lu had made her decision:

"Why do you want to do all this for me?"

Upon hearing the previous conversation, Tang Xiaojiu suddenly wondered, could it be that brother Tang Xian thinks cats are not as tasty as dogs? So he decided to raise dogs?

If Tang Xian knew Tang Xiaojiu's thoughts, he would be relieved that the simple-minded child was finally getting it.

Of course, that's the reason, but it's not something that could be said outright.

"My sister and I want to leave this island, but I might come back here in the future. By then, having a Tang's Dog Meat Restaurant on the island would be a delightful thing," Tang Xian said with a smile.

Jin Lu did not quite understand, but said uncertainly:

"Can you really do all those things you talked about?"

"If all goes well, you'll become the queen of this island by tomorrow."
