Raise a dog...
Andrew Han forced a smile...
He suddenly remembered that his path-protector Lu Yang had once said he studied Earth culture specifically to pass the assessment review.
"What is it?"
Seeing Andrew lost in thought, Lu Yang looked up and smiled: "Your Highness doesn't actually believe these vassal life races will truly be grateful to us, does he? The darkness in other races far surpasses the Specter Nightmare you once faced."
Andrew was stunned: "I think that as long as there are no grudges or disputes, perhaps we can interact amicably."
"Others can, but you can't. You're a new-generation Eternal King of the Human Race." Lu Yang fixed his gaze on Andrew: "Your Highness must adjust his mindset. As our race's new-generation Eternal King, how can you still think of coexisting as equals with other life races? We were born into a Supreme Race, nobler than they are, and that nobility was earned by our ancestors through countless sacrifices. If you enjoy the privileges of Supreme Race status while proclaiming 'all cosmic life is equal,' isn't that laughable?"
Gulp.
Leaning against the soft sofa, Andrew took a big sip of exotic fruit juice: "If I weren't out here, representing the Human Race, I wouldn't have been so overbearing today."
Overbearing?
Why do you say that?
Lu Yang's eyes changed instantly: "We Humans control their life and death, granting them the precious privilege to rest and recover. Forgive me, Your Highness, but I can't understand why, as the new-generation Eternal King of the master race, you would express regret toward them. Respect must have its limits! That Quibeast elder Xiturok used mind-inducement—if not for the abuse of ordinary Humans igniting your anger, would you have just let it go as if nothing happened?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking."
Adjusting his posture, Andrew replied in a low voice.
Better to avoid trouble when possible. Besides, the mind-inducement failed; I wasn't harmed at all.
"Your Highness!"
Lu Yang's eyes widened in shock.
"Ahem." Andrew felt inexplicably awkward and took another sip of exotic fruit juice: "I've spent years traveling the stars and rarely dealt with other life races. Maybe I should've confronted them on the spot?"
"Shouldn't you have?" Lu Yang stood up in shock: "I don't know what Your Highness is thinking. If you don't consider the Human Race, don't want to strengthen our legacy, and instead support other life races, standing from their perspective... I hope it's just that you haven't adapted to your current status, not that you're betraying Humanity!"
Andrew stood up as well: "You're overstating it."
