One by one, little sea wolves crawled out from his clothes.
Ba Lv exclaid: "Teacher, why did you bring them here?"
Hearing Jiang Cheng and the others speaking, the rmaids turned around. The rmaid leader wanted to step forward to say sothing to Jiang Cheng, but she was stunned by the little sea wolves crawling on the ground.
Just recently, they had engaged with the relatives of these little sea wolves, and so of their tribesn were still in the mouths of the sea wolves.
Now, in front of them, appeared more than ten sea wolves. Although they were very young, the rmaids had seen what they would beco when grown up.
The rmaid leader looked at Jiang Cheng, unsure of what to say.
The scene fell into silence.
The little sea wolves were unaware that they had changed places. They only felt that this place was more comfortable than where they had just been.
The warm sunlight shone on them, making them feel cozy.
The little sea wolves started crawling around on the ground, occasionally raising their little paws to scratch their heads. A few made soft, childish sounds.
"How cute." Ba Lv imdiately realized her mistake upon speaking and quickly covered it up.
Looking at the rmaid leader in front of her, she smiled awkwardly.
Jiang Cheng spoke: "I discovered these at the sea wolves’ habitat. Honestly, I couldn’t bring myself to harm these young sea wolves."
He looked at the rmaid leader and said: "So I brought them back, leaving it up to you to decide how to deal with them."
The rmaid leader wasn’t expecting Jiang Cheng to say this. She was unprepared. Initially, she was stunned seeing the little sea wolves; she hadn’t thought about what to do next.
So she was now looking blankly at Jiang Cheng, unconsciously repeating, "How to deal with them?"
Jiang Cheng and the others didn’t speak, rely watching the rmaid leader.
After a mont, the rmaid leader finally ca to her senses. She looked at the little sea wolves crawling on the ground, unsure of what to say.
"But, should they be killed?" The rmaid leader considered herself incapable. The rmaid tribe wasn’t a race that killed indiscriminately, especially when it ca to these young sea wolves.
Although the rmaid leader knew how viciously their relatives treated them, the little sea wolves before her weren’t responsible for it.
Then, should they be released?
The rmaid leader thought, temporarily ignoring whether these little sea wolves would grow up to beco enemies of the rmaid tribe. Moreover, once the sea wolves matured, they reproduced quickly, and at that ti, the rmaids might have to face their threat again. The rmaid leader wouldn’t believe that a kind alien would co to their aid again.
If they weren’t killed now but were left outside their habitat to fend for themselves, it’s essentially the sa as killing them.
The rmaid leader felt troubled; to her, this was a difficult problem, a challenge not easily solved.
Unable to think of a good solution, the rmaid leader looked up at Jiang Cheng, hoping this seemingly omnipotent alien could decide.
Jiang Cheng had already decided on the way back on how to handle these little sea wolves. However, if he directly stated his approach, the rmaid leader might not be pleased despite not expressing it.
So Jiang Cheng tossed this hot potato to the rmaid leader, to see if she had any ideas.
Sure enough, just as he thought, the rmaids’ inherently kind nature made her indecisive.
Yanran understood her teacher’s thoughts but didn’t express them.
Although earlier she had killed more sea wolves than anyone else, those deserved punishnt.
But when it ca to these young sea wolves, she truly couldn’t bring herself to harm them.
Her sentints towards the little sea wolves were akin to Ba Lv’s; she simply didn’t voice them — they were indeed adorable.
This was Yanran’s perspective on the little sea wolves.
Seeing the rmaid leader lost in thought, Jiang Cheng began to speak: "Like you, I can’t bring myself to kill these young creatures."
"Though their relatives were the culprits, these aren’t. We can’t make them bear the mistakes of their kin, don’t you agree?" He asked the rmaid leader.
The rmaid leader instinctively nodded.
"So I can’t bring myself to harm them," Jiang Cheng continued, "which leaves only one option: to leave them be, their fate unrelated to us."
The rmaid leader nodded again but then shook her head.
Jiang Cheng noticed her reaction and silently chuckled.
"I’ve noticed a problem, regarding your rmaid tribe," the rmaid leader raised her head, bewildered by Jiang Cheng’s sudden change of topic.
"Your tribe truly lacks ans to protect yourselves," Jiang Cheng observed as he looked towards the bay. Although under the rmaids’ care, it had largely returned to its original state, the air still held the scent left behind by the sea wolves.
"If next ti an unfriendly beast approaches, the possibility isn’t nil. Think about it; with such vast waters on your planet, who can say with certainty there aren’t other species here?" Jiang Cheng intensified his tone: "Even if it’s safe now, what if other aliens visit and they’re hostile towards you out of envy of your beauty? What then?"
"Do you want to remain helpless, even facing the danger of extinction?"
Jiang Cheng pressed the rmaid leader.
Of course, while Ba Lv helped the rmaids clean up the battlefield, Jiang Cheng, to prevent future issues, had gone to the sea wolves’ habitat to ensure there weren’t any sea wolves left.
Once there, he discovered a litter of sea wolves only a few months old. How to handle these sea wolves?
Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but feel troubled.
Even though he had a plan in mind, he wanted to hear others’ opinions, such as the rmaid leader’s.
Sure enough, faced with these little sea wolves, the kind-hearted rmaid leader also hesitated.
Though not long ago, the little sea wolves’ relatives had slaughtered her tribesn, this wasn’t the young sea wolves’ fault.
Adopting an attitude of neglect towards these sea wolves rely equates to killing them in another manner.
Seeing the rmaid leader indecisive, Jiang Cheng slowly expressed his thoughts.
"Your greatest problem is, when confronted with enemies, you lack a strong and effective counterattack," Jiang Cheng pointed out: "Even with your sonic attacks, they only repel the enemy but don’t cause effective harm."
