"Our numbers used to be much higher than this, but the village has not had a child in over 60 years, making the population age while the numbers shrank. This is all due to the men's level of genetic deterioration. It has reached a point where we're pretty much all impotent. In this generation, we're expected to lose two-thirds of our population, if the Monstrous Bulls don't get to us first, that is." The former head farmer told Xinzi.
"Is that so, the Green-Hat and Golden-Haired Immortals screwed you guys over pretty badly," Xinzi said.
"Genetic? You've been using that term for a while now. What is...genetic?" Dong Ling raised her hand, asking in confusion. She wasn't the only one puzzled by this exchange, in the White Immortal Sect, only Zi Yao had a strong understanding of genetics, in that territory leaving even a quasi-millenium old fossil like Lord Hanxing in the dust.
