"Just because she's a yōkai, does that mean she deserves to die?"
"Yes." Li Yuanshan paused after he said it.
"However, considering that this horse yōkai has not actively harmed anyone since its transformation, I, as a Daoist, believe in the virtue of good life that heaven bestows, and will arrange an appropriate place for it."
Qingqing sneered, "Won't it be flaying and extracting its demon pill?"
Li Yuanshan ignored her, instead looking once more at Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan pondered, "As my companion here mentioned, although Ayue is of yōkai kind, she inherently isn't evil."
"Daoist friend, if you insist on separating these two, why not explain the pros and cons, allowing A-Qing to make his own choice?"
"If he is willing to give up, we have nothing more to say."
"But if A-Qing insists on rescuing his wife, then between you and me, it seems inevitable that we must settle this matter fairly and decide the fate of this yōkai."
