Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

Fortunately, although Junsong was puzzled, he still explained it to everyone in detail.

Originally, the Central Continent was ruled by imperial power, which originated from the sovereign. However, the sovereign had not appeared for a thousand years, so the imperial power was currently controlled by the three upper families located in the imperial city, forming a tripartite balance of power!

And the Liao family is one of the top three families.

It is said that the Liao family is fairly fair in their dealings. They are neither as decisive and ruthless as the Fang family, nor as self-serving as the Yun family. They are well-known in the Central Continent, and people usually ask the Liao family to make decisions on matters big and small.

"Is the Liao family also here to find the Holy Female?" At this juncture, people from the Central Continent have obviously come to take the Holy Female inside. However, generally speaking, each family takes its own people, and if they like each other, they just follow along. Could it be that the Liao family has come here for the same reason?

"No!" Jun Song shook his head. "The three upper families do not intermarry with other races in order to ensure the purity of their bloodline."

"Wouldn't their offspring be dwindling? How could they possibly maintain their positions among the top three families?" In Xixi's view, although the beastmen have different animal forms, they are all beastmen, just like white, yellow, and black people. Their essence is still human, so why can't they intermarry?

Moreover, from a genetic point of view, hybridization does dilute the bloodline, but it can also produce heterozygotes, and there might be some surprises among them!

But Jun Song shook his head again. "The strategies of the three upper families are different from those of Yanshan. Their clans are huge, spread across the five continents of East, West, South, North, and Central. Every year, each continent holds a clan competition to select the best to enter the Central Continent. If the new students in the Central Continent are not talented, they will be sent away. The entire clan always maintains a high degree of mobility!"

"At the same time, females from the four continents of the east, west, south, and north will also participate in the Holy Maiden Selection, just like other tribes. Once selected, they will directly enter their own family to live."

This is the charm of super families. Unlike the Dianhai, which directly expels those with poor talent, these three families have developed their influence outside the Central Continent. In this way, even if they are sent away, they can continue to live by relying on their tribes.

Wealth is accumulated, and even if these people are not talented, they can accumulate wealth as long as they live, thus the wealth of the entire tribe will accumulate positively.

The fluid system that allows for both upward and downward mobility undoubtedly gives hope to each branch. As long as there is hope, they will not resist; on the contrary, they will work harder, strive to nurture the next generation, and strive to accumulate more wealth.

However, there is still a problem. "You just said that the three upper families do not intermarry with other races. But according to the laws of nature, the stronger the race, the lower the birth rate. Even if their race is large, in the process of elimination from generation to generation, their overall quality and combat power will inevitably become stronger and stronger. Therefore, their birth rate will definitely become lower and lower."

In this way, their offspring will eventually wither away!

"The three families in the Central Continent that do not intermarry with other races are not branches of the four continents of East, West, South, and North," Jun Song said, spreading his hands with an innocent look.

Alright, Xixi understands now. So the so-called prohibition on intermarriage isn't absolute!

This is equivalent to raising Gu poison. You can raise branches however you want, and let them do whatever they want. Eventually, a Gu King is raised and sent to the Central Continent. Once there, to prevent a decline in combat power and ensure a long-term foothold, a rule against intermarriage is established.

It has to be said that this method is really good. It solves both the problem of low birth rate and the problem of declining combat power. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

"Only the top three tribes have this model. What about the other tribes? Why didn't they copy it?"

"Actually, this model was proposed by the lord. However, when it was first proposed, the tribes of the Central Continent were not optimistic about it. Only the three upper families, as absolute supporters of the imperial power, took the lead in trying it out. And you have to know that from selecting a location to establish a branch, to allocating personnel, we have to consider the development of the branch, the development of the main family, and loyalty and obedience. After all these things were done, it took more than a hundred years to barely get it running. And after more than a thousand years of improvement, it has reached its current scale."

"By the time other tribes discover that this method is effective and try to replicate it, the three upper families will have already developed into the three unshakeable giants of the Central Continent! Thus, if they want to replicate it again, they would have to ask the three upper families for their consent. Obviously, no one in power would be willing to watch other forces rise and challenge their position! Therefore, this model is only available to the three upper families; others have neither copied it nor can they ever copy it again!"

After listening to Junsong's explanation, Xixi remained silent for a long time. The model was a good one, but once power was involved, it was difficult to replicate. This has been the case in every dynasty.

"You just said that this model was proposed by the lord, and the three upper families are absolute supporters of imperial power. The lord has not shown his face for a thousand years, so where did he go? Didn't the three upper families send anyone to look for him?"

Or perhaps, a thousand years have passed, and the lord, being a beastman, must have long since died. What about his descendants? Could it be that the lord had no descendants? If he had no descendants, why has no one replaced him after a thousand years? Instead, the words "the lord has not appeared for a thousand years" have been left behind.

"No one knows where our lord is. A thousand years have passed, and although the three upper families have many conflicts, they have maintained a high degree of tacit understanding on this matter. They have never said that our lord is dead, nor have they ever mentioned our lord's descendants. They only say that our lord is still alive, but has not yet appeared."

“Having not appeared for a thousand years, who would believe that?” Xixi was astonished.

"In earlier years, there were still doubts, but as the power of the three upper families has become more secure, the doubts have become fewer and fewer. Now, no one cares much about what the lord is like; people are more concerned about what the three upper families want to do. Just like now, the Liao family came to Yunyao City and took away Yunyao City Lord Kunhai and Sikong Hongyu, the grandson of the Yanshan Priest. What is their purpose?" After going around in circles, the topic has finally returned to the most urgent matter!

"Do you know where they are?" Without even having a meal, Xixi rushed out.

Xida reverted to its beast form, nestled obediently in its mother's arms, and pointed its little wings in a direction, "Chirp chirp!" This way.

Xixi hurriedly followed. Junsong wanted to wait a little longer, at least until his third and fourth brothers returned with the news, but his wife rushed out directly, so he had no choice but to follow.

Fortunately, the two hadn't gone far when they encountered a patrol of guards. Seeing the city lord's wife emerge, they quickly came forward to greet her, "Madam, why did you come out? The city lord said that you should just wait in the house and that he would take care of everything!"

"How long has your city lord been summoned?" Xixi didn't immediately launch an attack, but instead asked with a frown.

"This..." The guards looked at each other. The answer was obvious. It had been a whole night, five or six hours. Not to mention that the lady was anxious, they were quite anxious too, but what could they do?
