Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 596 - 19 The Historical Origin of the Jade Blood Spirit Clan

When Wang Yunxiao first transmigrated, he saw in his textbooks descriptions about the Spirit Clan and Sea People becoming naturalized citizens.

At that time, he didn’t understand these two races, mistakenly assuming they were the types of forest elves with long ears and legs who loved archery, and mermaids with human upper bodies and fish tails...

However, the reality was far from his fantasies.

The Jade Blood Spirit Clan turned out to be the Blood Clan... Who the hell could recognize them with that name change?

When it comes to translating foreign languages, our people love to adhere to the principle of fidelity, expressiveness, and elegance, adding a layer of beauty filter to anything and everything. For instance, "Mr. Biceps" is translated as Mr. Armstrong, making it sound particularly grand and lofty.

England, Germany, America... It doesn’t matter how the original term is pronounced; I’ll gild and embellish it, because if I don’t, it wouldn’t showcase the highbrow persona of us bilingual talents.

However, in the junior high school textbooks, there was a more detailed introduction to the Spirit Clan, Sea People, and the surrounding world environment.

Introducing ordinary people to this knowledge actually carries risks; after all, it’s a matter of cognition. What you intend to teach and what they actually absorb may not be the same thing.

Some poor families, you buy them a piglet hoping they’ll breed pigs and get rich, but they go home and slaughter it for a drink.

Some government officials know full well that if bandits invade, their entire family will be killed, yet they hide millions of taels of silver in their cellars, tightly secured, and when the Emperor gathers military funds to suppress bandits, they’re unwilling to contribute even a cent.

The principles of this world are generally the same.

Just like the policy against puppy love, it’s not aimed at those students with secret feelings and sneaking touches. What really needs to be guarded against are those scoundrels who forcibly get their way with a girl and then deny any responsibility after the deed. Once a life is brought into the equation, if you try to hold them accountable, they’ll just say our kids are still just kids, caught up in innocent love, free to love and blabla...

It’s difficult to define a clear standard for this, so a blanket ban is the only way.

Similarly, when it comes to the knowledge of the mystical side, it cannot be openly taught to students; it can only be revealed in a limited and gradual manner.

If today you dare teach students about angels and demons, tomorrow there’ll be students tying up their classmates and roasting them alive as a sacrifice to the Yellowstone Throne.

What Wang Yunxiao now had was a textbook that had gone through its second revision.

It detailed the origins of the Spirit Clan and Sea People.

The history of the Spirit Clan’s arrival in Ming Country could be traced back to the early days of the Former Dynasty, when the ocean fleet visited Europe and fostered large-scale cultural exchanges between the East and West on various levels.

Later on, Spirit Clan traders accompanied the fleet back and quickly expanded their influence through trade between the East and the West, leaving behind many mysterious legends along the eastern coastal regions over the past few centuries.

Because the initial Spirit Clan people were not accustomed to sunlight, preferring to live in the night, and had mastery over many bizarre secret family techniques, ignorant Easterners dubbed them "Night Demons."

In the vernacular of the Old Tianmen People, "Night Demon Tiger" refers to both bats and the Spirit Clan.

The old saying, "Eat too much salt and turn into a Night Demon Tiger," originally referred to those Spirit Clan merchants who crossed the seas to trade various rare foreign goods.

And "The Night Demon Tiger’s craving for a smoking pipe," this phrase initially described the Spirit Clan merchants who were splashed with Holy Water by missionaries and burned all over. Over time, it came to denote those heavy smokers who experienced withdrawal and convulsed on the ground.

Of course, the life of the Spirit Clan in the Far East was not all smooth sailing. About fifty years ago, when the Western Allied Forces’ fleet approached Tianmen for the second time, a family that had operated in Tianmen for over a year, tempted by profits, acted as guides for the foreigners. After the war, they were expelled from the country. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The Spirit Clan now living in Tianmen is not the same family that acted as guides for the foreigners. Instead, they are a federation of families that migrated to the Far East after the United Kingdom closed its borders.

Unlike the original families in Continental Europe, these Spirit Clan members have overcome their innate fear of sunlight and even converted to Protestantism, maintaining a close relationship with the predecessor of Qianjin Church, which is the Carmelite Holy Clothes Society.

They brought a series of advanced scientific technologies from the United Kingdom’s Imperial Academy of Sciences, which promoted the modernization of domestic industrial construction. Therefore, they were accepted by the President, officially registered, and became the first group of naturalized Western citizens.

The President is an open-minded person. If you can show your sincerity with real silver, I’ll give you a place at the table.

As for the issue of whether they suck blood... they claim they don’t, and textbooks are also vague on this topic, simply mentioning the Spirit Clan without ever addressing the matter of blood. What the truth is, well, that’s subject to interpretation.

Chen Yan’s suspicion that they suck blood is a very normal concern, considering she had never seen a living Jade Blood Spirit Clan before.

Li Mumu, however, had a different opinion.

"Traditional vampires keep Blood Servants, which, as the name suggests, can be used both for blood-sucking and as servants. I’m not quite clear on what’s going on with this Jade Blood Spirit Clan, but if the siblings wanted to suck blood, they could just get a couple more student records. There’s no need to rush home."

In general, that’s the case. You can’t say there aren’t any special, peculiar types, but you can’t generalize either. Just as there are psychopathic killers among humans, you can’t say everyone is a psychopathic killer.

There’s a simple concept of "exponential growth". If every vampire could suck blood without restraint, sucking different blood every day, there wouldn’t be any normal people left in the world.

And just like Li Mumu said, they are rich. For the wealthy, this isn’t even a problem. Not to mention bringing Blood Servants from home, if they were to flaunt their cash at school, there’d be plenty of people willing to bleed for money.

After hearing Li Mumu’s explanation, Chen Yan was still worried. "They’re hurrying home; they must have an urgent reason. Should I take the initiative to ask them as a member of the student council?"

"Yes!"

"No!"

Wang Yunxiao and Li Mumu responded in unison but with completely different answers.

Wang Yunxiao thought it didn’t matter. You are, after all, the student council president. What could they do to you? With so many brothers behind me, if they dare touch a hair on your head, I’ll pull out their intestines and feed them to their sister.

Li Mumu felt there was no need to invite such trouble. Since their Family Head dared to send them to study, they surely can’t die, and if there were any problems, they could ask the school to deal with it.

Better to avoid trouble when possible.
