By doing so, they had indeed achieved a peaceful coexistence.

The ghouls had kept their promise all these years.

This excluded some ghouls who had been expelled from the clan or had betrayed the clan and would also appear in the five countries.

Everyone else was well-behaved.

As for the five kingdoms, they followed the agreement and sent their criminals from to the ghouls’ territory.

However, after so many years, the laws of the five countries had deviated.

At first, the five countries should have made an agreement to send the most heinous criminals of each country to the Great Desolate Prison.

Subsequently, the Great Desolate Prison had unknowingly become the largest place of exile for the five kingdoms.

“All these years, apart from Emperor Wu’an, the other four countries have treated the Great Desolate Prison as a place of exile.”

In other words, other than a “big tyrant” like Xuanyuan Yu, the other rulers had not cared for the lives of these people at all!

They didn’t care if those people were alive or had become food for the ghouls.

The first thing MO Beiyuan did when he ascended the throne was to get someone to change the law and change the punishment of being exiled to the Great Desolate Prison.

As for the ghouls…

It was time to renegotiate the rules of the Five Nations with them!

Yun Ran blinked her watery eyes. “So, what you said about the darkness and evil of humanity hidden there before also refers to these?”

The existence of the Great Desolate Prison was the darkness of human nature.

The peaceful coexistence of the two races was exchanged with lives.

Yun Ran couldn’t say that the people who had made the agreement with the ghouls in the five countries were completely wrong.

But how many people had died in the Great Desolate Prison over the years?

Just the Bai family alone had hundreds of its people exiled.

It had been six hundred years!

The other countries added up to tens of thousands…

Yun Ran did not dare to think further.

“So, what’s going on with the ghouls? Are they humans? Why do they live on human blood?”

Yun Ran had never interacted with a real ghoul, other than Yan Qi’s who only a half-blooded ghoul. Other than fangs, blood-colored eyes, and pale skin, the external structure of the ghoul was no different from that of a normal person.

Because of Yan Qi, Yun Ran had specially found many ancient books about ghouls to read.

There were many kinds of ghoul origins.

Some said that they were humans cursed by evil spirits.

Some said that they were the bloodline of humans and ancient demon beasts. Some even said that they had eaten some kind of poisonous grass by mistake.

Yun Ran wasn’t sure which was real either.

The ghouls were too mysterious. Even MO Beiyuan did not know much about them.

“There are many legends about the ghouls. I think only the ghouls know their true origin. They drink blood for a living because other food will become very difficult to swallow in their mouths. Only human blood is the most delicious food in the world for them.”

Yun Ran’s eyes narrowed. “But Yan Qi lives on beast blood. There’s nothing wrong with his body.”

They were both ghouls, so why did the other ghouls have to drink human blood?

Could it be that Yan Qi only had half of that bloodline?

Yun Ran really couldn’t figure out these things, so she didn’t try to figure them out herself.

“According to what you said before, doesn’t that mean that the exiled clansmen of the Bai Clan have been… doomed all these years?

MO Beiyuan’s voice was calm. “Not necessarily. When ghouls suck human blood, they usually won’t kill people directly. Instead, they will raise them for feeding. ”

Yun Ran waved at him, indicating that he should stop. If he continued, she probably wouldn’t be able to eat dinner tonight..
