It was not the first time Xiao Lin came into contact with the term 'mixed-blood'. He thought of the mixed-blood orc he had previously met in Gold City, and that comparison finally calmed Xiao Lin's emotions down slightly.
There was a big difference between mixed-blood and pureblood. Xiao Lin could never accept it if Gu Xiaoyue was a pureblooded alien, because it meant that Gu Xiaoyue might be a spy. In that case, everything she ever said to Xiao Lin would be false and deceptive.
However, there were different reasons why someone was a mixed-blood. For example, the mixed-blood orc in Gold City had been completely abandoned by his scum of a father, and the mixed-blood individual was no doubt innocent themselves.
"Lifewater only has an effect on humans. Even a mixed-blood can never absorb its effects. When the formulation was first developed, the possibility of non-human use was never considered," Song Junlang continued.
