Chapter 50 p2
Just as Yu Chi thought that she would be studying in the elf nursery for two months and then automatically return to the small boat when the time was up, an uninvited guest came to the nursery this day.
“You just need to capture them?” The woman’s voice was hoarse, and her entire body was wrapped in black sand, making it impossible to see her face.
Yu Chi’s heart pounded. She was absolutely not mistaken. Two figures had suddenly appeared in the corner of the nursery. One was a woman in black gauze, and the other… damn it, this couldn’t be a player, could it?
“Yes, you just need to draw a little bit of blood, and you can sell it for a sky-high price,” the player said fawningly. “You can even directly transform humans into low-level elves.”
“Humans have not received the education of the elves. Their position is not firm. They will definitely cooperate with your research, master.”
The woman in black gauze was silent for a few seconds. Just as the player was feeling anxious, she said in a hoarse voice, “Then let’s capture them all.”
Yu Chi: …A blatant conspiracy?
She turned her head and looked around, finding that the elf cubs did not have any abnormalities. Could it be that only she had discovered it?
“Boss!” Yu Chi took a few steps and grabbed the flying Elio.
Elio stopped. He had great tolerance for the smallest little fellow in the nursery. “Did someone bully you?”
Yu Chi said in a small voice, “Let’s play a game.”
Elio blew a whistle, and all the elf cubs flew over. “Listen up, we’re going to start a game now. Whoever is last will not get any candy!”
The elf cubs were all very excited, their little faces flushed.
Yu Chi glanced to the other side. The two of them were still chatting. After seeing that they were playing a game, they didn’t care.
The game was created by Yu Chi. When it was almost time for a nap or to go to bed at night, the cubs were always reluctant to go back to their rooms to sleep outside. Yu Chi was so annoyed that her head hurt, so she persuaded the boss, Elio, to play this game.
The first place could get 5 candies, and so on. The top 5 all had a share. The last place not only had no reward candies, but also had to lose their original one.
The rewards were provided by the teachers.
This game had been played for two or three days, and everyone liked it very much. As long as they were lucky, it would always be their turn to get the top 5. After all, there were only about 20 cubs in the entire nursery.
Elio blew the whistle, and in an instant, all the cubs flew towards their little houses, using all their strength and their greatest speed.
“Not good!” The woman in black gauze immediately realized something and no longer used her concealment magic, but directly flew over to try to grab a cub.
The cubs were relatively close to their little houses. After seeing someone trying to grab them, they thought it was a new way to play the game and rushed towards their houses with giggles.
Yu Chi hurriedly grabbed Elio. “Boss, first place, Little Blue Flower.”
Only she and Elio were not keen on this game. Elio thought that he was already a big kid. He understood the reason for this game and did not think that he should compete with the other cubs for candy. He was usually the last or second to last.
But this time, it was absolutely not okay, so Yu Chi took out her trump card, Little Blue Flower, which was their dinner.
All the elves could only eat one a day, but they were born knowing that Little Blue Flower was of great help to them. Even Elio could not resist his love for it.
When Yu Chi occasionally asked him for help, she would take out a petal of Little Blue Flower to bribe him. She had asked Aler. Elio had already grown up, and it was okay to eat one more petal.
These Little Blue Flowers were planted in the [Two-Sided Mirror] space. When Yu Chi took them out, the teachers did not ask her where she had gotten them, but just told her not to eat too much.
To ensure that all the other elves had returned to their houses, Yu Chi was the last. So when the woman in black gauze reacted, she went to catch her first.
The other party’s speed was extremely fast. Yu Chi felt the strong wind and was less than a meter away from her. Her scalp tingled, but she calmly turned her head and threw a fireball spell.
This was a new magic she had learned. Since she had slowly learned Elvish, her talent in magic had also been revealed.
Even Gaelin said that her magic reserve was very high, not even worse than some elves in their teens or twenties.
The fireball spell was small when it was thrown, but it immediately expanded and began to burn everything around it after it was thrown into the hall.
The nursery was full of flowers and plants, and the fire easily grew larger. At the same time, the entire nursery sounded an alarm, and countless thick vines came down from above and began to attack the creatures with a strange aura.
This was also the reason why Yu Chi had used the fireball spell. She did not expect to be able to hurt the other party, as long as she could hurt the flowers and plants in the elf nursery.
“Damn it!” the woman in black gauze cursed. She constantly dodged the attacks of the vines, and at the same time, her five fingers suddenly grew long, directly passing through the obstruction of the flames and grabbing Yu Chi’s calf.
There was an unknown corrosion on that hand. Yu Chi only felt a pain in her calf, and her whole body, from her flesh to her soul, was trembling.
The woman in black gauze’s lips curled up. This was specially made for elves. She refused to believe that this little thing could endure it.
Yu Chi really couldn’t stand it, but she was the type to be calmer the more she panicked. After looking in her backpack for a couple of moments, her eyes narrowed. She directly threw a black ball at the woman in black gauze, and at the same time, her Silver Moon Scimitar stabbed at the other party’s hand.
The woman thought the black ball was some kind of weapon and immediately dodged, but was freed from her fingers and flew in another direction.
The black ball slowly rolled to her feet. The woman in black gauze realized that she had been tricked and shouted angrily, “You’re looking for death!”
Countless ice spikes stabbed at Yu Chi. The smoke turned into a shield, blocking part of it, but was pierced through. Yu Chi’s little wings flapped quickly, and she narrowly avoided the fate of being poked with countless holes.
The woman in black gauze’s eyes darkened. She had underestimated this elf. She clenched her hand, and a black magic wand appeared in her hand, with a terrifying magical energy lingering on it.
However, before the spell could be cast, there was a “bang,” and the small black ball exploded at her feet. The entire nursery building was shaking.
Yu Chi had put on the armor Li Feng had given her long before the black ball exploded. After enduring the impact of the explosion, she immediately took advantage of the smoke and flew back to her little house.
This bomb was placed in Mu Gui’s tail ring. She had thought it was very useful when she was organizing her materials before and had kept it in her backpack.
“Good, good—” The woman in black gauze laughed in anger. The black ball had not caused her serious injuries, but it had made her whole person look miserable, and even her hair was smoking.
Not only had she not caught a single person, but she had also been repeatedly played by a cub. The woman in black gauze’s heart was full of resentment and viciousness. She wanted to capture that cub and torture her fiercely—
The black magic wand in her hand continuously sent out attack magic. However, no matter how strong the magic she used to attack the elves’ little houses, it did not cause a single bit of damage to the houses.
In order to better protect the cubs, the elf houses used the strongest forging materials. Even if the Elf King came, it would be very difficult to cause substantial damage.
The woman’s face became more and more ugly. After losing her composure, she was accidentally pierced through the shoulder by a vine. Blood continuously gushed out, and her whole body was trembling with anger.
And the player on the other side had been burned on his clothes by the fireball spell at the very beginning and was rolling on the ground screaming. Later, he was directly pierced through the shoulder, palm, and calf by the vines.
The sharp barbs on the vines tightly gripped his muscles, pinning his whole person to the ground. He could only wail while looking at the woman with a pleading gaze.
Save me…
All of this happened in just 1 minute.
Realizing that things were not going smoothly, the woman in black gauze had originally wanted to drag the player away with her.
But the next second, she suddenly sensed something, and her face changed drastically. Without any hesitation, she smashed the teleportation item on the ground, and her whole person instantly disappeared from the elf nursery.
And the player who was left behind, his eyes were gradually filled with despair and madness. Hatred gnawed at his heart. It was clearly the other party who had found him, but she had easily betrayed him…
These damn native inhabitants. If he had a chance to turn the tables, he would definitely sell them all as slaves and make them suffer all kinds of humiliation and torture!
Yu Chi was also not lightly injured. Her calf had been corroded by something strange, and it was still throbbing with pain. And although the smoke had helped her block a blow, those ice spikes had still cut her body.
However, the moment she saw the woman leave, she immediately walked out of her little house and came to the player’s side.
“Who are you?” Yu Chi stood condescendingly, using the Elvish that the man and the elf had used when they were chatting.
She actually wanted to ask more things, such as how the other party had come to the Elf Island, who was cooperating with her, and what their purpose was. However, her language was limited, and she could only squeeze out these two words.
However, compared to exposing her player identity, these questions were not so important, especially when this guy had already been captured.
The player lay on the ground, his face pale, his expression painful and ferocious. However, his first reaction upon seeing Yu Chi was to struggle to reach out a hand to try to grab her.
He needed to use a cub as a hostage.
The dark elf had abandoned him, but if he could bring a cub back, he would definitely be put in an important position by those people. The player’s eyes widened, filled with red blood vessels.
A player could follow an elf to the island, but after entering the island, they would lose all their abilities. They had not realized this until they were completely kidnapped and tortured by the native inhabitants here, without any ability to resist.
He had to get the elf’s bloodline. Only then could he successfully survive and return to the boat!
However, as soon as his hand got close to Yu Chi, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The muscles on his face twitched, and he let out a couple of gasps from his throat. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted directly.
Before Yu Chi could react, her whole person entered a warm embrace. She looked up and saw the Elf King’s worried and angry gaze.
“I’m, fine,” she said seriously.
The Elf King did not speak. A warm white light appeared in his hand. The next second, Yu Chi only felt that her whole person was warm, and the wounds on her body disappeared without a trace. It was just that her calf still had some pain.
The Elf King also noticed it. His expression was instantly cold, but when he looked down at Yu Chi, it returned to gentle. “Don’t worry, it will be cured.”
His gaze did not look at the player lying on the ground from beginning to end. In his eyes, that was already a dead person.
Soon, the other elves also arrived one after another. The tragic state of the elf nursery made them dare not make a sound, but their eyes were filled with the same hatred and anger.
—Their cubs had actually been hurt by others!
Gaelin covered her mouth, almost unable to imagine what had happened. Especially after finding the bloodstains on Yu Chi’s body, her heart ached so much that tears instantly flowed out.
She had been in the elf nursery for so many years and had never encountered such a thing, and no cub had ever been hurt.
The elves, dark elves, and fairies had once had a rule that no matter how they fought, they would not harm each other’s cubs.
No one wanted their race to lose its future. Once it started, the entire Sunset Island would fall into an endless battle.
But now someone had broken the rule.
Today was the celebration of the entire Elven Kingdom. Because something had suddenly happened to the Mother Tree of Life, she and Aler had not come back immediately.
No, it was her fault. No matter what, the elf breeder should have left someone to guard. She should not have been so lax just because no danger had ever happened.
Gaelin thought with a pained face.
“Gaelin, Aler, tidy this place up,” the Elf King ordered calmly. “Protect the other cubs.”
“Yes.”
“Ian, strengthen the guards of the elf nursery and completely block the Elven Kingdom.”
“Yes, sir!”
The Elf King looked down at the cub’s clear green eyes and couldn’t help but close his eyes. No amount of compensation could erase what had happened.
He hadn’t had time to let this wandering cub feel happiness and warmth before he had let her be hurt again.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to his usual gentle and calm demeanor.
No matter who it was, they had to be prepared to bear the wrath of the entire Elven Kingdom.
Yu Chi was directly taken back to the royal court by the Elf King.

【Author’s Note】
Mini-theater:
The fish, who had suddenly become a cub, held her painful little leg and hid in a corner, crying for a long time.
The Elf King patiently coaxed her for several hours, using countless candies and small flowers, before the fish slowly crawled out of the corner.
So embarrassing, the fish thought. Why did I become such a fish?
The candy is so delicious (^▽^).
