“Head south, Yin Zhu,” Anya pointed in the direction.
Yin Zhu’s back wasn’t very broad, but as she lay on his back, Anya felt very secure.
She experienced a strangeness more pronounced than Ye Yinzhu.
After all, unlike Ye Yinzhu, who cultivated the Pure Qinxin, she didn’t understand much about the affairs between men and women.
It seemed that, from birth until now, this was the only man she had ever had physical contact with.
A helpless smile appeared on Anya’s lovely face.
In her heart, she always regarded Ye Yinzhu as a younger brother because he was the only male human that didn’t trigger her aversion.
His innocent heart, his simplicity, as well as his moving zither music, were all qualities that Anya appreciated.
“Yin Zhu, you don’t need to hurry too much, you’ve also exhausted quite a bit of your magic power just now.
Walk slowly, and listen to a story Sister Anya will tell you,” Anya leaned on Ye Yinzhu’s shoulder, perhaps because of a weakness she hadn’t felt in many years, her gaze seemed a bit hazy at the moment.
“Sister Anya, why don’t you rest for a while?” The full contact with her at his back didn’t incite any impure thoughts in Ye Yinzhu; he merely felt that Anya was in great need of his protection right now.
“Yin Zhu, do you know about elves?” asked Anya.
Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, “Grandpa once mentioned that elves are a noble race.
They love peace, live in harmony with the world, and despise wars the most.
They only live in the ancient forests.
They are the children of nature.
It’s just that I have never seen an elf.”
Anya gently gathered her long hair, revealing a pair of pointed ears.
Although Ye Yinzhu couldn’t see them, she had already immersed herself in her own past at this moment.
“Over four hundred years ago, in the vast Elf Forest, a pair of twin sisters was born.
They were the children of the Elf Queen and the pride of the entire Elf Tribe.
Their extraordinary talents enabled them to surpass their peers in strength at a very young age.
They lived joyfully in that dense ancient forest.
Both sisters were very kind-hearted, municating with the elements of nature every day.
Every member of the Elf Clan believed that the future of the elves would surely be more stable and peaceful under their leadership, and that peace would continue forever.”
At this point, Anya paused, her voice filled with soft and tender beauty.
“Elves are different from humans; their lifespan is ten times that of humans.
Ordinary humans live to be around eighty years old, and even the strong find it hard to exceed one hundred and fifty years.
But elves can live up to eight hundred years, and as descendants of the Elf King, the twin sisters possessed an extended lifespan of one thousand five hundred years.
That year, they were both two hundred years old, which in elf terms is like a fifteen-year-old human just ing of age.
The twin sisters had begun to grow tired of the serene life in the Elf Forest.
So, against their mother’s wishes, they quietly left the great forest and came to the Human World.”
“Isn’t the Elf Forest nice?
Why did they want to leave?” Ye Yinzhu asked, a bit curious.
“Actually, you cannot blame them.
Even if the Elf Forest is beautiful, living in one place for two hundred years would make anyone grow weary.
They came to the human countries and were immediately captivated by the bustling splendor of the human world.
Everywhere around them were novelties they had never seen before.
For a while, the twin sisters gradually lost themselves in it.
They also forgot to keep their identity as elves a secret.
Elves are exceptionally beautiful, both males and females alike, and as inheritors of the royal elf bloodline, the twin sisters were even more outstanding.
Soon, they caught the attention of those with ill intentions.
Regrettably, those evildoers did not know that the sisters were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, possessing initial Zi rank strength.
Having never used their powers in the outside world, the twins inadvertently released powerful magic and killed those bad people.
That was their first killing.”
“Ah!” Ye Yinzhu exclaimed in shock, “Elves love peace, killing someone, they must have been in so much pain.”
Anya sighed, “You are not entirely correct.
At that time, the sisters had two different reactions.
The younger sister was very scared and even wanted to return to the Elf Forest immediately.
She already recognized the horrors of the outside world.
But the older sister was excited; her mind had already begun to stray.
For the first time in their lives, the inseparable lotus pair had a disagreement.
That disagreement also led them to go their separate ways.
The elder sister entered the human world, while the younger sister, panicked, returned to the Elf Forest.”
“In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.
In those ten years, the elder sister made a great name for herself in the human world and became a powerful figure with her beauty and Zi rank strength.
Meanwhile, the younger sister was punished with confinement for returning to the Elf Forest against her mother’s orders.”
Ye Yinzhu asked, “Why didn’t the Elf Queen bring the elder sister back as well?”
Anya answered with a smile, “That’s because the Elf Queen at that time could not leave the Elf Forest.
She had to protect her people.
Apart from her, there was no other elf capable of subduing the elder sister.
So it just dragged on.”
“Ten years later, the Elf Queen suddenly passed away.
Just before her death, the elder sister suddenly returned to the Elf Forest.
By then, her strength had increased tremendously, reaching the level of Third Rank Zi rank.
The ten years’ growth was unimaginable.
Facing the death of the Elf Queen, she seemed indifferent, not showing the slightest sadness.
She even went against the Elf Queen’s final decision to pass the throne to the younger sister and openly contested with her sibling for the position of the Elf King.” Anya’s voice grew much more intense as she spoke.
“How could she do that?
Has she forgotten the sisterly love of two hundred years?” Ye Yinzhu asked indignantly.
“I do not know.
Even today, I still do not know.” Anya’s eyes moistened, her voice filled with sorrow.
“The peace-loving Elf Clan, under the strict and efficient ways of the elder sister, quickly submitted.
The younger sister was defeated by her elder sister, and the innocent one was expelled from the Elf Forest, never to return.
What the elder sister did not know is that, just before her death, the Elf Queen had quietly placed the symbolic Life Seed of the Elf Species onto the younger sister.
By the time she found out, the younger sister had already gone far away.”
The two hundred years that followed saw the elder sister searching everywhere for the younger sister, trying to reclaim the Life Seed.
Meanwhile, the younger sister grew up day by day in the Human World.
She thought about the suspicious nature of her mother’s death, the strangeness of her sister’s behavior, and she knew that her mother’s death had to have something to do with her sister.
But what use was knowing?
She was no match for her sister and could only keep fleeing, traveling from country to country on the continent.
Eventually, she managed to find a quiet place to stay, and driven by the firm belief to discover the truth about her mother’s death, she cultivated even harder than before.
The gap between her and her sister was closing.
More than two hundred years passed, and one day, when the younger sister finally felt she had the strength to challenge her elder sister, she returned to the Elf Forest.
By then, the Elf Forest had entirely changed.
The previous peace and harmony were gone, replaced only by an atmosphere of severity.
The self-proclaimed Elf Queen, the elder sister, had even trained the people of the Elf Clan into an army.”
