Chapter 2072: Bai Sulan(2)

When Bai Sulan sped off, Yuan and Feng Yuxiang immediately chased after her.

"Hey, how old are you?" Yuan asked her as they traveled the misty mountain valley.

"I’m almost eight hundred this year," she calmly responded.

Yuan was caught off guard by her answer and said, "Eight hundred years? You’re even older than me."

"Really?" Bai Sulan looked at him with intrigue, almost as if she was seeing someone younger than her for the first time.

He nodded.

"But why do you have the appearance of a little kid?" Feng Yuxiang asked.

"Because I am still a child. In our clan, we don’t become adults until we reach 2,000 years old," Bai Sulan explained.

"Two thousand years, huh? That’s quite low compared to some of the other bloodlines out there," Feng Yuxiang remarked.

Some bloodlines required tens of thousands—if not hundreds of thousands—of years of experience before one could even be considered an adult.

"Can you tell me more about this trial of yours?" Yuan then asked.

Bai Sulan nodded and explained, "In the Heavenly White Tiger Clan, we’re all required to go out and hunt specific magical beasts as part of our trials. We have to complete one trial every hundred years until we reach adulthood."

"Each trial increases in difficulty, and I am currently on my eighth trial," she added.

"What happens if you fail a trial?" Feng Yuxiang asked.

"Then we’re deemed defects and executed for staining the bloodline," Bai Sulan replied calmly, as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world.

"Executed for failing a trial...? That’s not right," Yuan said while shaking his head.

Yet, Feng Yuxiang didn’t seem surprised in the slightest.

"The Heavenly White Tiger Clan has no use for the weak," said Bai Sulan. "If we don’t want to be disposed of, we’ll need to succeed."

Due to how fast the Heavenly White Tiger Clan increases its population, they believed it would be for the best to cull those unworthy of carrying their prestigious bloodline. In fact, many were disposed of even before their first trial for having an insufficient bloodline.

However, this harsh reality wasn’t unique to the Heavenly White Tiger Clan, and similar ruthless practices existed among many other powerful bloodlines as well. After all, this would save them a lot of time and resources, allowing them to invest in those truly worthy.

"Young Master, you grew up among humans, so you wouldn’t know, but this kind of practice is very common in the world of beasts," Feng Yuxiang explained. "Especially among the stronger clans, as this is how they preserve resources and ensure they produce only the best of the best."

"To many, our bloodline is everything, and having an inferior bloodline is akin to having no talents for humans."

"I understand the reasoning behind it, but I don’t have to accept it or like it."

Feng Yuxiang sighed, "Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do about it... Unless you repeat what the Immortal Monarch did during his era."

"You mean bringing most of the beast clans under my control?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.

She silently nodded.
