Wei Yuan and Old Daoist Chu He sat facing each other, listening to the Old Daoist continuously talking about the stories of various biological communities. The Old Daoist was not only familiar with plants but also animals, especially proficient in the knowledge of spirit beasts, and he knew many secrets of the significant figures from the Cat Realm and Snake Realm, primarily because the Cat Realm was more secretive, as the illegitimate children of its big shots were considerably many, often a dozen or so from one litter.
Wei Yuan patiently listened for a long time, then asked, "So, the real reason that these creatures concentrate their breeding in a particular season is?"
Having beaten around the bush for so long, the Old Daoist finally addressed this question directly, saying, "I believe the primary factor is not the season itself, but rather that in this season they can eat their fill, having enough reserves to reproduce the next generation."
