Chen Changan glanced helplessly at Yi Tuo, recalling what had happened back in the Crimson Moon Secret Realm.
All the embers in the Crimson Moon Secret Realm had been devoured and absorbed by Yi Tuo. So the embers in the Destruction Forest really did count as rations for Yi Tuo.
"Can't you show a little humanity?"
"They're hoping to follow you, and you actually want to eat them?" Chen Changan said helplessly.
"Big Brother, I'm not human. How could I possibly have something like human nature?"
"Wouldn't it be strange if I had it?"
Seeing Yi Tuo's completely serious expression, Chen Changan was taken aback. Did not being part of the Human Race mean you couldn't have any humanity?
"Yi Tuo, your thinking is a little skewed."
"Look at Da Huang. Is he human?"
"Look at Little Earthworm. Is he human?"
"But can you deny that they have humanity?"
"Are they nothing but beasts, then?"
At Chen Changan's words, Yi Tuo fell into serious thought.
A moment later, he looked at Chen Changan with admiration and said, "As expected, Big Brother is Big Brother. You've seen right through their true nature."
"They really are quite beastly."
Chen Changan didn't want to discuss human and animal nature any further, but he still couldn't understand why Yi Tuo's first reaction upon hearing about embers of his own kind had been to think of them as food.
"Yi Tuo, even if those two are quite beastly..."
"Da Huang wouldn't treat his own kind as food, and neither would Little Earthworm."
"Why did you think of them that way?" Chen Changan asked curiously.
"Big Brother, I'm an energy form, something born and nurtured through Destructive Power. You haven't forgotten that, have you?"
"I haven't."
"I... think I understand what you mean."
Chen Changan wasn't
