Once upon a ti, Zhu Tianqing believed that people who ate at were all bad.
You can fill your stomach by being a vegetarian, so why eat at?
However, after experiencing life at the bottom and understanding the unequal value of at and vegetables with the sa nutritional value, she understood.
Therefore, when she saw such a large pot of stew with at, not only was she not angry, but she felt that Foreman Song was very kind.
But she couldn't help but feel a doubt rise in her heart.
Isn't Taihua City unable to sell at because of the good deeds I did?
Where did this at co from?
Zhu Tianqing couldn't help but look at Song Mountain, who ca to eat with her and seed to be living with the workers.
Song Mountain understood the aning in the girl's eyes and explained with a smile:
"Life will always find a way, if soone bans it, there will be soone who secretly sells."
Zhu Tianqing lowered her head, feeling a bit uncomfortable in her heart.
She was not so extre as to want everyone to be vegetarian; she just wanted to improve the treatnt of at-using Spirit Beasts, why did it turn out like this?
At this ti, a worker nearby spoke:
"Young lady, are you going to get your al or not? Everyone is still hungry."
Zhu Tianqing ca back to her senses.
Looking at the fragrant stew, every cell in her body generated a strong craving.
"The Spirit Beast that provided this at has already died, even if I don't eat it, it can't co back to life."
"But if I fill my stomach, I can carry more cent, earn more money, and repay Aunt Zhang's family."
The girl swallowed her saliva, harboring thoughts that seed incredibly sinful to her past self.
Ultimately, she handed her bowl to the person serving als, biting her teeth, harboring an indescribable sense of sha and guilt, she said:
"Please... please give a al, try not to include at..."
"No, I can't get full without at, better co with a little bit..."
"No...since I've already eaten, maybe it's better to eat more in one go..."
After a series of internal struggles, like all the workers, Zhu Tianqing asked for more at from the person serving als.
The girl, holding a bowl with one hand and clutching four or five large buns in the other, sat on so discarded building materials.
Feeling the oil of the fatty at slide into her mouth, experiencing the muscle fibers of the lean at unfold between her teeth...
Even when fallen into dire straits, with her Dao Heart still incredibly firm, a layer of mist suddenly appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Tear drops as big as beans slid down her dirt-stained cheeks, leaving unsightly marks; for one who valued her image, she was oblivious.
She felt dirty.
She had ultimately succumbed to Su Yuan, actively consuming the flesh and blood of living beings.
She was no longer the pure and flawless Celestial Hunting Saintess.
"I'm eating at just to survive; after this, I won't eat anymore," the girl secretly vowed.
Then she continued to eat three large bowls.
Three large bowls were not Zhu Tianqing's limit, but the limit of the construction site cafeteria.
The girl, patting her slightly filled stomach, walked back with Aunt Zhang.
Not far along the way, however, her attention was caught by a dirty stray dog by the roadside.
It was a Husky. Although covered in filth, from its neatly trimd fur, it was obvious that it had been a house dog not long ago.
Perhaps due to wandering alone for many days, the Husky's eyes did not show the unique intelligence of a Husky, but rather a fierce look.
Zhu Tianqing's heart softened imdiately and she said angrily, "Who is so heartless? If you raise a Spirit Beast, raise it well! Why abandon it!"
Aunt Zhang laughed and said, "Silly girl, dogs need to eat at too."
"We can't even afford at ourselves; how can we afford to keep pets?"
"Actually, the abandonnt rate of Spirit Pets has been high recently."
"At first they could be sent to the Spirit Pet selling points of the Myriad Beasts Demon Sect, but as the number of abandoned Spirit Pets increased, those points stopped accepting them."
Zhu Tianqing fell silent again.
After promoting the idea of equality between humans and demons, not only did ordinary people at the bottom live poorly, but the Spirit Pets at the bottom had no way to survive either?
What exactly had she been promoting?
So of her inner concepts subtly began to change.
Perhaps it's not necessary for everyone to accept Spirit Pets and coexist peacefully with them.
Many people are already struggling to live.
Forcing them to raise Spirit Pets and treat them like family, how's that different from raising a living parent?
"Maybe the concept of human-demon equality should not be promoted at the bottom, just let it be accepted by those above middle class,"
Zhu Tianqing thought to herself.
But at this mont, the Husky not far away suddenly let out a low growl!
The girl turned her head and saw not far from the crossroads, a child about seven or eight years old was walking.
The child encountered the Husky, yet instead of showing closeness, the latter had a fierce gaze with a hint of greed.
It seed to be staring as if it were a defenseless prey.
Zhu Tianqing was stunned.
It was her first ti seeing such a ferocious expression on a Spirit Beast, an expression much more vicious than those of killers and criminals on TV, chilling her to the bone.
While she was in a daze, Aunt Zhang had already picked up a brick and thrown it over.
But when the hard brick hit the dog's head, not only did the Husky not run, it barked even more fiercely.
It seed that it absolutely wouldn't leave without a bite of at.
Fortunately, at this mont, the Beast Capture Team, which patrolled the city intensely, appeared.
A team mber descended from the sky, pressing his knee directly on the Husky's neck, making it unable to breathe.
Then, other team mbers quickly stepped forward and bundled the Husky up, taking it away.
Zhu Tianqing: "..."
"Aunt Zhang, why have the Spirit Beasts beco so aggressive!"
"Isn't that normal?"
Aunt Zhang answered offhandedly:
"Spirit Beasts is just a nice na. Aren't they essentially just Demon Beasts?"
"These creatures listen to you when they're full, but if they're not, they'll certainly turn on you. Beasts are beasts, you expect them to be as rational as people, how is that possible?"
Zhu Tianqing felt a bit of dryness in her throat.
She swallowed hard and carefully said:
"I've raised a few Spirit... small animals. So of them, although carnivorous, can also get the nutritional needs from high-value Spirit Fruits and Spirit Plants."
"If everyone were to eat fruits and vegetables, perhaps this mutual slaughter wouldn't happen."
Aunt Zhang gave Zhu Tianqing a strange look and smiled:
"Then those little animals you raised must really hate you."
"Hate ?"
Zhu Tianqing almost thought she had heard wrong.
Aunt Zhang shook her head and said no more.
But her words deeply imprinted on Zhu Tianqing's heart, making it hard for her to let go.
The next morning.
Zhu Tianqing received new information from Song Mountain in the workers' group she joined yesterday.
A pig farm on the city outskirts needs renovation; it's a big job.
Even a small worker can earn eighty per hour.
Without a second thought, Zhu Tianqing took the job with Aunt Zhang.
She rembered the address was Boss Cai's breeding base, just in ti to see how he was renovating the factory and whether he was mistreating the pigs.
Half an hour later, she and Aunt Zhang squeezed into the commuter bus with the engineering team to the farm.
The work was simple: remodel the original pig farming factory, make partitions, apply putty, tile, do drainage, etc.
In just half a day, the Black Labor Sect led by Song Mountain swiftly completed the renovation.
Zhu Tianqing, who was involved in the renovation, was a bit angry.
Because these renovations didn't bring any substantial change!
Every pig pen seed partitioned and cleaned, but still only had a re fifteen square ters.
Even if one pig lives in one pen, it still falls far short of her expected standard!
"Young girl, don't just stand there, another truck of goods has arrived."
A worker said to the indignant Zhu Tianqing in the factory.
"Coming right up."
The young girl responded quickly, suppressing the urge to question Boss Cai, and went to unload the goods.
But this ti, the goods felt a bit strange to her: a pile of wood and iron fras.
After moving the goods to the factory and watching the workers assemble the wood and iron fras in the partitions, she finally realized what it was.
They were bunk beds with iron fras.
Because they were so simple, the young girl hadn't realized these were beds for people.
She asked Aunt Zhang in confusion:
"Aunt Zhang, is this Boss Cai planning to let the Iron Mountain Boars sleep in bunk beds?"
"It's fine for the lower bunk, but what about the upper bunk? The Iron Mountain Boars are so heavy, they can't get up there."
"This is clearly Boss Cai deliberately making things difficult for the Iron Mountain Boars!"
Aunt Zhang was about to speak but saw a large group of workers with bags flooding into the factory from outside.
These workers didn't seem to be from the engineering team; they were the original farm workers.
Under Zhu Tianqing's shocked gaze, the workers skillfully pulled out bed sheets and bedding from their luggage, selected their bunks, and made their beds swiftly.
At this mont, Zhu Tianqing finally understood how wrong she was before.
This wasn't a place for the Iron Mountain Boars; it was clearly for the workers.
Fifteen square ters, two people.
What's the difference from the treatnt of the Iron Mountain Boars before?
At this mont, Boss Cai entered the factory, with an apologetic look, and said to the workers:
"Our factory originally didn't provide accommodation, Old Cai initially planned to build a dormitory to reduce everyone's housing costs in the big city."
"But unexpectedly, there was an issue with the dormitory, and the farm almost couldn't continue."
"I can't pay salaries, but I can't let you sleep on the streets either, so I had to remodel the original factory a bit."
"If anyone has nowhere to go, feel free to stay here in the factory, no charge."
Hearing Boss Cai's words, the workers all cheered together, not showing any disdain for the pig stench in the factory.
Zhu Tianqing beca anxious and asked in a panic:
"No, why let the workers live in a place like this when there's already a built dormitory?"
Hearing this, Boss Cai looked at Zhu Tianqing and shrugged helplessly:
"There's nothing I can do because of Saintess Zhu's request, we must quickly provide a good living environnt for the Iron Mountain Boars."
"So, according to Ambassador Su's request at the ti, all the Iron Mountain Boars were placed into the employee dormitory."
Zhu Tianqing was dumbfounded and blurted out instinctively:
"Why?!"
"The workers work so hard and haven't even had a bite of at, yet they have to live in a place where the beasts lived?"
"Why let those pigs stay in the dormitory? Why can't it be turned around? Why can't the lower-level people live better?"
Boss Cai gave Zhu Tianqing a long look and said:
"Yes, why indeed?"
"Young girl, if you have doubts about this, why not go and ask that Saintess Zhu?"
