"No way!" The middle - aged man immediately refused, but then something seemed to occur to him. The middle - aged man looked Yuan Ye up and down and said slowly, "Well, but I warn you that if I find you have ill intentions, I'll kill you at any time." "Don't worry. I'm as pure as can be," Yuan Ye quickly nodded. "Dad..." The sexy beauty shook the middle - aged man's arm. The middle - aged man just gave her a reassuring smile. Yuan Ye and the two of them walked into the small wooden cabin together. The wooden cabin had three rooms in total. One room combined the functions of a kitchen and a living room, and the other two rooms were where the father and daughter lived respectively. The living room inside was extremely simple. Besides some necessities for daily life, there were only some simple weapons such as bows, arrows, and knives. Yuan Ye and the other two sat down here. "I'm Rui Guangde from Qingding City. I've lived here for more than ten years, and now I consider this place my home instead. This is my daughter, Rui Xi. Where are you from?" "I'm from Xinlin City. I'm Yuan Ye. I'm an orphan, and I was chased by my enemies and fled here," Yuan Ye said seriously, though no one could tell which of his words were true and which were false. "Do you know where this place is? You just ran when others chased you?" The middle - aged man named Rui Guangde looked at Yuan Ye in disbelief. "When my life is at stake, I don't care," Yuan Ye patted his chest and added, "But although I've never left Xinlin City, I'm quite famous in the city." Rui Guangde smiled. "Those who achieve great things must travel thousands of miles, read thousands of books, and experience countless dangers. Whether your coming here is a blessing or a curse remains to be seen." "A blessing, for sure," Yuan Ye immediately replied. At the same time, he secretly glanced at Rui Xi on the other side. She had already untied her hair, lowered her head, and was gently combing her flowing hair with her hands. She didn't look at Yuan Ye and didn't say a word. "Young man, I tell you, the place you've come to is called the Beast Domain. As the name suggests, it's the territory of beasts. All the regions in the world dominated by beasts are called the Beast Domain. Most of the Beast Domains are located in places rarely visited by humans, such as ancient forests, high mountains, and the deep sea. Especially the Beast Domain here, located at the junction of the largest mountain range and the largest ancient forest on the continent, is probably one of the top - ranked Beast Domains on the continent. Usually, even powerful Wu Di wouldn't dare to venture in randomly. Do you think it's dangerous for you to be here?" "Wow, you're not kidding. Wu Di wouldn't dare to act recklessly, yet you two have survived here for more than ten years?" "Hehe!" Rui Guangde smiled. "If, as you said, only the strong can survive here and the weak are doomed to die. Then in this vast Beast Domain, wouldn't there only be powerful magical beasts left, and all the weak ants, bees, butterflies, and rabbits would be extinct?" Yuan Ye's eyes lit up. "That's right. So how do you survive?" "It's simple. As long as you abide by the laws of nature and rely on human wisdom, surviving here is very easy." Rui Guangde took a deep breath and continued, "My family has been hunting for generations, and I know the natures of wild beasts or more powerful magical beasts like the back of my hand. Magical beasts look terrifying on the outside and are often considered extremely cruel. In fact, the world is wrong. Magical beasts' requirements are actually very simple. When they're full, they won't hunt other animals. When they're well - fed, young magical beasts like to play, and mature magical beasts like to sleep. Humans, on the other hand, have such strong desires. Human nature is the most greedy among all living beings in the world. Just having enough to eat can't satisfy them at all. They want higher status, greater power, more wealth, more beautiful wives and concubines, and the dominance to trample on those around them. The complexity of the human world and the horror of humans, in my opinion, are a hundred times more than what people consider the Beast Domain." Yuan Ye actually wanted to refute him. Although what Rui Guangde said was partly correct, it was too extreme. Besides these negative desires, humans actually have another side that magical beasts don't have, such as friendship, love, family affection, benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, filial piety, courage, and fearlessness. It's precisely because these rich positive and terrifying negative aspects are united in humans that humans are humans. Sometimes they move you to tears, and sometimes they make you hate the whole world. But Yuan Ye didn't say this. He wasn't stupid. Rui Guangde had lived here with his daughter for more than ten years and never went out. Obviously, something must have happened in the outside world that made him hate the whole world. At this time, telling him the good of the outside world would only cause him more pain. Rui Guangde calmed his emotions and continued, "Actually, magical beasts only do four things in their lives: eating, sleeping, mating, and guarding their territory. I'll teach you a few basic rules. As long as you follow them, you'll usually be fine. First, don't run around when powerful magical beasts are hungry. Every kind of magical beast has its own hunting time. We can't avoid the hunting times of all magical beasts, but in our area, there are only two or three kinds of magical beasts that pose a threat to our lives. As long as you avoid the hunting times of these two or three kinds of magical beasts, you'll be fine. Second, don't run around randomly. If you break into a magical beast's territory, they will attack you. Just like the black - armored leopard you brought today. You must have broken into its territory. However, fortunately, the place where we are is on the outermost edge of the Beast Domain. There aren't any powerful magical beasts here. This black - armored leopard is just a very fierce mutated leopard. It's just a wild beast, not even a magical beast, and it's not much of a threat. Third, when you see powerful magical beasts sleeping, resting, or mating, you'd better leave. Don't disturb them, and don't show your teeth to them. Magical beasts don't have the concepts of crying and laughing. As long as you show your teeth, they'll think you're threatening them and challenging them."
