244: Just a sister

Behind Chen De, in the room, stood a girl of about seventeen or eighteen.

Her skin was like warm jade, so delicate it was almost transparent, with a faint blush on her cheeks.

Her round, clear eyes were like water, her nose small and exquisite, and her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders.

She was stunningly beautiful, tall and slender with a willowy waist, and a mischievous smile played on her lips.

This person was Xiao Ying, Xiao Miao's biological sister, born of the same father and mother.

Seeing her brother look back, Xiao Ying immediately rushed into Chen De's arms and hugged him.

Chen De seemed to recall something, feeling a slight unease in his heart.

Then, Xiao Ying leaned into Chen De's ear, “Brother, come to my room tonight, okay?”

She also lightly thumped Chen De's chest with her small fist, complaining, “Honestly, every time you go out for training, you're gone for so long. Our last time was months ago.”

As she spoke, she hugged Chen De tightly, her entire body pressed close against his.

“I don't care, you have to satisfy me tonight.”

Then, Chen De saw Xiao Ying's eyes gradually become hazy, and her body began to heat up.

This, this was completely the rhythm of losing control!

To be honest, Chen De knew why this was happening.

After all, he had inherited Xiao Miao's complete memories.

Chen De knew exactly how many times Xiao Miao had cried and how many times he had gone to the toilet since childhood.

The person before him was indeed Xiao Miao's biological sister, born of the same father and mother.

And he had another sister like this.

This wasn't to say that Xiao Miao was particularly perverted; there was a reason for it.

In the Xiao Clan, or rather, not just the Xiao Clan, there was a phenomenon of internal marriage, and it was highly encouraged.

Xiao Miao possessed the strongest bloodline among the Xiao Clan members of their generation.

And his sister, Xiao Ying, had a bloodline second only to Xiao Miao in this generation.

Among the Eight Clans, it was common for those with strong bloodlines to marry each other, thus ensuring the maximum preservation of the next generation's bloodline.

As the two strongest bloodlines of their generation, the union of Xiao Ying and Xiao Miao was destined from the moment Xiao Ying was born.

Just like Xiao Ying's father and mother, Xiao Miao's mother was the daughter of Xiao Miao's father's eldest uncle.

And the parents of Xiao Miao's father and his brothers were their grandfather's full siblings.

Such things were common in the Eight Clans.

Moreover, because strong bloodlines combining with each other were more likely to produce strong bloodlines.

Therefore, when those with strong bloodlines unite, their next generation often unites with each other, and the generation after that also unites with each other...

This cycle repeats until the power of the bloodline is completely exhausted.

Furthermore, to ensure the purity of the bloodline, sometimes one might not have just one wife.

Often, those with strong bloodlines would choose to marry several wives.

For example, Xiao Miao's other sister was the daughter of his paternal uncle.

Chen De could still understand such matters.

Not to mention here, even in Chen De's previous life, there were internal marriages to ensure bloodline purity.

Chen De knew even more how crazy some people could get for power, and to what extent they would go.

Not to mention here, where power was even more valuable than authority.

Such a system had continued for at least hundreds of thousands of years, and those who grew up within it did not feel anything was wrong.

The first generation might have done it for power, or various other factors.

But after them, for ten or a hundred generations, it became a matter of course.

They might know why they do it, but even if the reason disappears one day, they will still continue to do it.

When a person grows up in such an environment, and is instilled with such ideologies.

Then in the end, he will only consider this situation to be normal.

Most of a person's thoughts are instilled and given by others, including many concepts of right and wrong.

It's like you know what's right, but do you know why it's right?

Someone else told you it's right, and why it's right, was also told to you by someone else.

And the development of one's own thoughts is also based on the thoughts instilled by others.

Most evolutions ultimately tend towards the same core principle, rarely deviating from this most fundamental subject.

Even subsequent self-reflection often cannot escape that most basic ideology.

Because all cognition, including thinking and methods of thought, are established and founded upon that ideology.

And using this way of thinking to prove itself is no different from using 1+1=2 to prove that 1+1=2 is correct.

It's like the earliest, inhumane beasts.

In Chen De's previous life's theory of evolution, humans were no different from ordinary beasts in the beginning.

The key lies in how to tame them and what kind of ideology to instill.

When he grows up with such an ideology, he himself will not think there is anything wrong.

Even if there are external doubts or opposing voices, he will only think they are wrong, unequivocally wrong!

Chen De even wondered what would happen if a person was raised from childhood, instilled with views completely wrong about this world?

Therefore, Chen De only felt slightly uncomfortable in his heart.

With the accumulation of so many memories he had absorbed, he quickly got over it.

So, as usual, he placed his hand on Xiao Ying's buttocks and stroked them.

Chen De understood Xiao Ying's intentions, but it definitely wouldn't work here.

Moreover, Xiao Miao was now Chen De, so it wouldn't work if he wasn't here either.

Xiao Ying still had some sense of propriety, even though she was just a seventeen-year-old girl, a time when one is often irrational.

But here, even if the Xiao Clan practiced internal marriage, it wasn't open to this extent.

Furthermore, there were outsiders present.

So, Chen De patted Xiao Ying and whispered, “Alright, alright, we'll talk about it tonight when we get back. Don't let people laugh at us.”

Xiao Ying looked up at Chen De, suddenly revealing a pair of small, shallow fangs, and bit his arm.

“Don't you dare lie to me! If I find out you go looking for the other sister, hmph!”

Xiao Ying also knew what kind of occasion this was; she had already noticed many people watching.

But because of her and Chen De's status, they only dared to watch.

So Xiao Ying reluctantly released Chen De, even showing off her small fist with a playful expression.

Chen De smiled helplessly, then led Xiao Ying to the viewing platform for the Bloodline Ceremony.

Ordinary clan members only had the right to stand and watch from below.

But he and Xiao Ying were not ordinary clan members!

Upon arriving at the viewing platform, Chen De and Xiao Ying had barely sat down when another figure sat beside Chen De.

Chen De didn't need to look to know that this was Xiao Miao's other sister — Xiao Shao.

The two of them sat on either side of Chen De.

As soon as Xiao Shao sat down, she lifted Chen De's arm, placed it on her chest, rubbing and pressing it, and began to act spoiled.
