Wang Baole saw that the crowd had seen reason and that no one was going to publicly accuse the donkey of any wrongdoing. He was extremely pleased with his methods. He had been about to kick the donkey again, instinctively, but then he had heard what Lin Tianhao and Jin Duoming had said. He couldn't quite get himself to carry on with that kick.
The giant python had a considerable impact on him. He was worried that he might accidentally push the donkey into transforming with one kick. What should he do then…
He thought about his position as the donkey's master. He shouldn't be so violent and should instead shower small animals with care. He pulled his leg back and patted the donkey lovingly on its head.
