"Shen Wei hit a hard DNW, and Kunlun left a "Thank you for making me this gift" comment and moved on."
Heeee, Modern AO3-Exchange AU. :D :D
The animal rights activist explanation is so spot-on too, I didn't think of that either!
Though it is unclear to me if SW actually killed the youchu? It only says "The young king went to the great effort of collecting a front tooth from each of thirty-six youchu, which to his mind represented the thirty-six glorious mountains that began at Kunlun.", which could also mean that he collected teeth from dead youchu (they kill each other all the time) or even that he just ripped out their teeth while they were alive (he's definitely strong enough to do that, even as a kid he just grabbed the youchu and chomped its neck like it was nothing; which on the other hand may mean that it's far too easy for him to kill them even if he doesn't mean to).
