The Group Chat fell silent for a moment.
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong nodded thoughtfully. "So that's how it is!"
Hu Liena felt something was off. "Teacher, why can the Dai and Zhu cousin-marriage be accepted, while Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang's union as cousins can't?"
"Aren't they the same thing?"
Bibi Dong:???
"No?"
"Is this the kind of question you should be worrying about?"
Bibi Dong was truly speechless—as if I, your teacher, would know!
Moon Pavilion.
Liu Erlong and Tang Yuehua were also dumbstruck.
"Heavens?"
"So that's what was going on!"
The two stared wide-eyed; both had orthopedic precedents, and now they finally understood.
[Liu Erlong: Learned something today.]
[Winter Cutie: This melon wasn't eaten in vain—it's all knowledge we never knew!]
[Tang Yuehua: So people in our World, even without knowing the exact explanation, still realize that those with the same Bloodline shouldn't be together, right?]
[Bo Saixi: Erlong and Yuehua say today's knowledge is super important.]
Zhu Zhuyun now saw the problem too.
Just as Su Yan had said.
In their Family, when lower-spirit power clansmen intermarried, this issue cropped up easily.
Yet among the powerful core members, it hardly ever happened—meaning high SpiritRank and strength could probably resist those faulty genes.
[Zhu Zhuyun: Su Yan, I want to change our Zhu Family—can you help us?]
Inside the carriage.
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly saw the light!
So that's it.
Ah Yin asked curiously, "Su Yan, is it the same for Spirit Beasts?"
Su Yan nodded. "All normal life is like this; if you're strong enough, you can compensate for the genetic defects."
[Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: I suddenly wonder—if cousin marriages like the Dai and Zhu are accepted, why aren't uncle-niece ones like Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang?]
[Bibi Dong: Same question.]
[Everyone: +1]
Spirit Hall.
Hu Liena glanced helplessly at her teacher Bibi Dong—so you don't know either!
If you don't know, just say so, okay?
Honestly!
[Su Yan: Before genetics existed, people believed sharing a surname meant one Family, while cousins were different surnames. Cousin unions were political alliances—'closer kin, closer bond.' Marrying within the same surname/clan was seen as plain incest.]
[Bibi Dong: Yu Erlong, I know you're watching—read those last two words carefully.]
[Bo Saixi: Yuehua, you look too.]
Moon Pavilion.
Liu Erlong and Tang Yuehua exploded with anger.
What a coincidence.
Today they'd sat together to eat melon, and now both were dragged out for a public whipping!
[Liu Erlong: You jerks shut up right now!]
[Tang Yuehua: Please—we already know we were wrong, stop bringing up the past!]
[I Am an Orphan: Go check the first four words of our group name—has anyone ever let anyone off?]
[Hu Liena: Love each other, kill each other!]
[Ma Xiaotao: I always thought the person who chose that name was a Genius!]
[I Am an Orphan: Thanks for the compliment.]
[Yanzi is not a Swallow: 666.]
[Group Member Number Nine: Orphan, now I'm curious—what if one day we eat your melon?]
[Bibi Dong: Serve it cold—then we'll all mock and humiliate her together. I can't wait!]
Crown Prince's Mansion.
Qian Renxue ground her teeth in anger.
Fine.
You said it yourself, Bibi Dong—don't regret it later!
[Su Yan: Let's keep talking about Zhu Zhuqing. She and Dai Mubai are six or seven years younger than Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun—so isn't this Gu-raising contest just idiotic?]
[Su Yan: Same parents, same Spirits, such a big age gap—under normal circumstances how could the younger ever beat the older? This isn't purely a battle of wits.]
[Yanzi is not a Swallow: I'm gonna die laughing—whoever invented this system is a real Genius!]
[Tang Yuehua: Only when they bump into a protagonist could the underdogs ever win.]
[Bibi Dong: Life isn't full of protagonist teams—through all these years on Douluo Continent, there's only ever been one Bibi Dong.]
[Red Dust Meng Meng Meng: His Holiness is right—in ten thousand years there hasn't been another Bibi Dong.]
[Dark Avenger: Ye Xishui?]
[Hu Liena: Don't you dare compare that shameless, morals-free woman Ye Xishui to my teacher.]
[Bo Saixi: True—without Yu Xiaogang, I think Bibi Dong might have become an outstanding Supreme Pontiff.]
[Su Yan: Stop flooding for now. Back to Zhu Zhuqing: because of this contest, Dai Mubai knew he couldn't beat Dai Weisi. With an older brother already killed by Dai Weisi, this scumbag feared death and simply abandoned Zhu Zhuqing and ran.]
[Su Yan: If Dai Mubai had been alone, running would be nothing to criticize—but the scumbag had a teammate-like fiancée!]
[Su Yan: Even scummier—after fleeing to Suotuo City, Dai Mubai raced to three brothels a day. Booking inns for flings, his standard was two sisters at once.]
[Su Yan: Of course this ties to Star Luo Empire's upbringing—in Dai Mubai's own words: 'Women aren't people, they're resources.']
[Everyone:???]
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong was furious too.
"Outrageous!"
"Once I establish the Spirit Empire, the first target will be to wipe out Star Luo Empire."
Hu Liena also nodded heavily.
[Bibi Dong: This Star Luo EmpireDai Family has signed its death warrant.]
[Hu Liena: Exactly!]
[Liu Erlong: This scumbag is intolerable—Old Woman, I'm backing you this time!]
[Winter Cutie: Dai Mubai truly is human trash!]
[Ma Xiaotao: RongrongOld Ancestor, you're so mighty—later help us thrash that scumbag, okay?]
[Zhang Lexuan: +1]
[Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: +1]
[Everyone: +1]
Inside the carriage.
Dugu Yan and the others also exploded with rage.
"Damn it!"
"That bastard Dai Mubai is such scum?"
"He not only dumped Zhuqing but also played around so wildly—and on top of that, dared to claim women are just resources?"
[Nine Treasures Little Princess: Leave it to me—whether it's Dai Mubai or Yu Xiaogang, once we reach Shrek Academy, just watch me!]
[Su Yan: Mm… next comes the part you all want to see—Zhuqing, are you ready?]
[Zhu Zhuqing:???]
