"Yan'er, do you know? Haotian is actually the son of your mother's older sister."
Nangong Ruichen could tell from her expression that she didn't know yet, and in order not to embarrass her, he wanted to divert her attention.
Upon hearing that her sister's son was coming, Nangong Ziyan was not happy at all; instead, her face darkened.
"Sister's son? Does Big Brother mean that Mother and Haotian's mother are biological sisters?"
Nangong Ziyan's tone suddenly became serious, causing everyone in the room to look at her strangely, especially Beiming Haotian, who stared at her intently. After learning about this relationship, wasn't she happy?
"That's right! Yan'er, many things are a matter of fate. Haotian is indeed my sister's son."
"What?" Nangong Ziyan stared at Beiming Haotian, her body involuntarily taking several steps back. Was the heavens playing a cruel joke on her? Inbreeding...? As someone with 21st-century thinking, Nangong Ziyan couldn't accept it for a moment. Although people here generally preferred inbreeding, believing it would strengthen family ties, when it actually happened to her, she felt completely bewildered.
"Yan'er, what's wrong? Aren't you happy to know about this?"
Nangong Ruichen also looked at her strangely; Yan'er's reaction was so odd.
"Big brother, Yan'er is fine. It's too stuffy here. Yan'er wants to go out for a walk by herself."
Nangong Ziyan specifically emphasized one person.
After saying that, he ran out as if fleeing.
"Yan'er..."
"Oh dear! What's wrong with this child all of a sudden?"
Sima Jiaorong was also completely confused.
"I'll go take a look." Bei Minghaotian's face was gloomy. He wanted to know why she was happy. In his opinion, it would be even better if they became relatives.
"That's strange, what's wrong with Yan'er? She should be happier than us after finding out about this, right?"
Nangong Jingqi scratched his head, looking puzzled...
When Bei Ming Haotian chased after her, Nangong Ziyan was nowhere to be seen. He looked around but still couldn't find her.
He frowned, channeled his spiritual energy, closed his eyes, and listened attentively.
When he opened his eyes again, he had already flown several meters away.
By the pond in the young master's mansion, Nangong Ziyan sat on a large rock.
He picked up the pebbles beside her and threw them into the water, muttering to himself, "Isn't this a joke on me, Nangong Ziyan? After we've already slept together, they only now say we're cousins? Come on, can't you come up with something even more outrageous? Everything always falls on my head, Nangong Ziyan. Why don't I win the lottery?" Nangong Ziyan complained bitterly.
"What should I do? What should I do? How could they be cousins?" Nangong Ziyan quickened her throwing of stones, muttering anxiously...
Standing behind him, Bei Ming Haotian stared intently at her back, listening to her muttering to herself, looking completely bewildered.
"God, I really love Haotian, I really love him. Because he's by my side, I feel so happy, so very happy. Please don't play such a cruel joke on me, okay? Incestuous marriage... How could this happen, how could this happen? But Fuxi and Nuwa were siblings who married! Haotian and I...?"
Nangong Ziyan's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, her heart pounding with anxiety. She never dreamed that she and Beiming Haotian were cousins.
Bei Ming Haotian finally understood what she was struggling with. Her words of love for him swept away his gloomy mood, replacing it with uncontrollable excitement.
"Yan'er, isn't it good to be cousins? It would make our family even closer."
Bei Ming Haotian suddenly embraced Nangong Ziyan from behind, inhaling her unique fragrance, closing his eyes to quietly enjoy it. It turned out that all his worries and fears were unnecessary. Just now, seeing her sad and heartbroken expression, his heart was in turmoil, but now, his heart was alive again.
"Haotian..."
Nangong Ziyan pursed her lips and looked up at him. Their lips were very close. Beiming Haotian couldn't resist the temptation and gave her a light kiss.
“Yan’er, why are you troubled by this marriage between relatives? You have no idea how happy I was when I found out that your mother is my aunt. I have always longed for family, and now I finally have family. But seeing you troubled by this, I really don’t understand what you are thinking.”
Bei Ming Haotian wanted to clarify things. He didn't want any barriers between them. They had already been intimate, which was equivalent to being husband and wife. Moreover, he thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being able to embrace her at any time, which made him feel as fulfilled as the happiest man in the world.
"Haotian, do you know that although consanguineous marriage may seem like a way to strengthen ties, it's not a good thing? Even though we're collateral relatives, we might carry several or even a dozen harmful recessive alleles. Consanguineous marriage increases the chances of these recessive alleles meeting and causing genetic abnormalities. Furthermore, half of our genome comes from our father and half from our mother. In the case of consanguineous marriage, the chances of two identical problematic genes combining are far greater than in non-consanguineous marriages. The risks of consanguineous marriage are significant, and this affects our future children..."
Nangong Ziyan suddenly stopped, because she could see the confusion and doubt in Beiming Haotian's eyes. What good would it do to talk about this with someone who didn't understand this relationship? Anyone who didn't know these things would definitely think she, Nangong Ziyan, was crazy!
"Yan'er, where did you hear these strange things? I only know that when we were in the Northern Underworld Continent, many families were happy to have their relatives marry each other, and their descendants were all very intelligent and had cultivation levels higher than ordinary people."
