73: Chapter 73 Elf?

"Ah-choo!"

Inside the villa, Principal Luo Xifei yawned and rubbed her nose.

"I always feel like someone is badmouthing me behind my back... I wonder how that brat is doing right now. I hope he hasn't been dazzled by beauties in the Kingdom of Elves!"

In the Kingdom of Elves, all elves are female. They are born from the Divine Elf Tree and are the daughters conceived by various elements of nature.

"By the way, Wind Elf... I remember you said there are not only elves in the Elf Secret Realm, but also demons, right?" Principal Luo Xifei asked the Wind Elf beside her.

Upon hearing the word 'demon', a flash of disgust crossed the Wind Elf's eyes. Her expression looked as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly.

"Yes, the Demon Race is the sworn enemy of the Elf Race. They are the filthiest race in the world. They are born from the evil thoughts of life; their very existence is a blasphemy against the world!"

The Wind Elf made no attempt to hide her hatred for demons.

Seeing this, Principal Luo Xifei raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "I've heard there's a sub-race among demons called Succubi. They say every Succubus is soul-stirringly beautiful. What if that brat gets seduced by the beauty of a Succubus and contracts one to bring back?"

It wasn't that no Beast Tamer on Blue Star had ever contracted a Succubus. That was news from decades ago. It was said that the Beast Tamer who contracted a Succubus suffered a backlash, had his essence drained, and died.

"No matter how beautiful a Succubus is, she cannot compare to an Elf. Beauty was created by the Goddess of Nature to describe Elves, not evil Succubi!"

"If Jiang Nan's aesthetic sense and judgment are fine, he will definitely know which one to choose between a Succubus and an Elf!"

The Wind Elf tossed her long hair. Looking at this Wind Elf who was even more vain than herself, Principal Luo Xifei nodded in approval... As expected of my Spirit Pet!

Elf Secret Realm.

After three days of traveling, Jiang Nan found a dilapidated wooden cabin by a stream.

Looking at the dense forest not far away and the clear signs of habitation around the dilapidated cabin, Jiang Nan's mood was suddenly filled with excitement.

"Finally... I've finally found traces of the elves!"

"Since there is a wooden cabin here, there must be elves living here. As long as I ask her, I can find the way to the Kingdom of Elves!"

Jiang Nan ran quickly toward the cabin.

The cabin was only the size of a bedroom. Looking at the tattered but spotlessly wiped wooden door before him, Jiang Nan didn't know whether he should knock or not for a moment.

He had a feeling that if he knocked, this door would completely shatter.

However, before he could even knock, the wooden door dramatically fell inward.

Clang!

A crisp sound rang in his ears. Jiang Nan's hand, which was about to knock, froze in mid-air, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop twitching.

"It really has to be an elf; even the wooden door knows how to stage a 'touch-porcelain' scam..."

Suppressing the urge to complain, Jiang Nan coughed lightly and called out toward the inside of the cabin.

"Excuse me, is there an elf inside? I am a human from Blue Star. I got lost nearby. Could you help point me toward the Kingdom of Elves?"

Jiang Nan's gaze caught a glimpse of a wooden bed inside the room, with a thin, small figure curled up on it.

Although he saw someone, he still politely asked from outside the door. However, as time passed slowly, there was no response from inside.

"Hello? Is anyone there? Hello?"

Jiang Nan scratched his head, thinking that perhaps the Elf Race didn't understand human language.

Just as he was wondering if Principal Luo Xifei's Wind Elf only learned the Blue Star language after being contracted, a faint sound suddenly came from the cabin.

Rumble~ Rumble~

This familiar sound made Jiang Nan frown. He tilted his head slightly and peeked at the figure on the wooden bed.

"This sound... why does it sound like a stomach growling?"

Jiang Nan's gaze swept across the interior of the cabin. Because the room was so small, he quickly saw everything inside.

He was looking for food in the room, but the room was empty. Even the bowls were chipped; where could there be any trace of food?

Combined with this dilapidated cabin, Jiang Nan quickly concluded that this elf lying on the bed... was definitely an impoverished household of the Kingdom of Elves, the kind that couldn't even afford to eat!

"It seems the Kingdom of Elves doesn't have poverty alleviation policies..."

While complaining, Jiang Nan carefully walked into the cabin, afraid of disturbing the person inside.

He walked to the wooden bed and saw a dark-haired little elf with a pair of black sheep horns on her forehead curled into a ball, looking pained and sweating profusely.

The little elf had short black hair, and the black sheep horns grew backward. Her skin was excessively pale, like white snow, or like a corpse drained of blood by a vampire.

Clearly, this was an elf who had long suffered from hunger, although Jiang Nan didn't know what kind of elf would grow black sheep horns on its head...

"This little elf isn't going to starve to death, is she?"

Jiang Nan's heart skipped a beat. He took an energy injection from his Beast Taming Space and stuck it into the little elf's arm, then took out some milk and bread.

He put the bread into a bowl and softened it with milk, turning it into a liquid meal.

"Once the energy injection takes effect, she should wake up, right?"

Jiang Nan muttered to himself. The energy injection was a type of liquid energy serum researched by Blue Star Beast Taming nutrition experts.

The injection contained a large amount of nutrients required by Spirit Pets. Its effect was similar to adrenaline but without the side effects of adrenaline, and it could be used for short-term nutritional supplementation.

This type of injection could be used not only on Spirit Pets but also on humans. Once, a Beast Tamer was trapped in a dangerous place without any resource replenishment; he only had one energy injection on him.

This Beast Tamer relied on the energy injection to hold on for six months. By the time he was rescued, the Beast Tamer was still in high spirits; apart from physical hunger, he had no diseases caused by nutritional deficiency.

Ten minutes later, the little elf on the wooden bed slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were dazed, and what came into view was a clean, handsome, and completely unfamiliar face.

"Is this the Heaven that Mother talked about?"

"So, the Goddess of Nature is actually a man? His face is so gentle..."

The little elf murmured in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

But as a Beast Tamer, Jiang Nan's ears were incredibly sharp. He shook his head helplessly and said softly, "I am not the Goddess of Nature, and this is not Heaven. I am a human. You were just about to starve to death, so I supplemented you with some nutrition..."

"Human?"

The little elf tilted her head, clearly still a bit confused.

But when she saw the large bowl of bread mush Jiang Nan brought over, her pair of emerald green eyes suddenly sparkled, and she took the stone bowl and ate it in big mouthfuls.

And at this moment, Jiang Nan was shocked to discover that the elf's wings were not only black bat wings, but they were also growing behind her butt!

Is this a proper elf? Jiang Nan thought to himself...
