To be honest, Duanmu Huai knew that his words would surely bring anxiety and fear to the young girls, but he also needed to explain.
Because, that is the truth.
The universe is not a romantic place, just like the jungle, when you first enter the jungle, you will be amazed by its beauty, grandeur, and mystery.
Then, you immediately feel what the law of the jungle is.
Survival of the fittest.
That's correct, the beautiful jungle is never peaceful. Carnivorous animals hide deep in the jungle, launching maneuvered attacks on their prey. Herbivorous animals eat those beautiful plants and use them as nutrients. Fireflies dancing in the air are pecked by birds, and birds become the delicious meal of other animals.
Powerful devour the weak, the strong control is the truth.
This is the law of the jungle.
The universe is the same.
