Chapter 1417: You Can’t Raise Me Like a Rabbit
Jin Wen led Qin Yi and the others to a treehouse and said, "Young Master Qin, you all can stay here for the time being."
"Wow, this is practically a villa," Yun Mengyao exclaimed in surprise.
Qin Yi nodded slightly. The place Jin Wen arranged for them was a two-story wooden house built in a tree, complete with a balcony.
The Elf Clan had excellent skills in building wooden houses, so this house was very beautiful.
"Thank you!" Qin Yi nodded at Jin Wen and said.
Jin Wen returned the gesture and said, "If you need anything, feel free to let me know."
Qin Yi nodded slightly and then divided the rooms with Yun Mengyao and the others.
Qin Yi walked into his own room, which was set up similar to a regular room outside, except everything here was made of wood.
Yun Mengyao pushed open the door to Qin Yi’s room and came in, looking around, "It’s pretty much the same as mine."
"Of course, don’t all rooms look similar? You think there’s a presidential suite here or something?" Qin Yi replied irritably, "And, Miss Yun, remember to knock next time you come in. After all, men and women are different. If I’m changing clothes, wouldn’t you be taking advantage?"
Yun Mengyao pouted, "You just came in and you’re changing clothes? Do you expect the Elves to arrange two beauties to serve you in the room? Besides, what do you mean by ’men and women are different’? I’ve always seen you as a good sister."
"Get out," Qin Yi said, rather annoyed.
"Alright then, change your clothes, sir. I’m going to admire the Elf Clan’s scenery," Yun Mengyao said and left directly.
Qin Yi shook his head and smiled, "Let’s see if you can even get out."
Sure enough, not three minutes later, Yun Mengyao stormed back in, angry, "That Jin Wen wasn’t here to care for us; he was sent to monitor us. I said I wanted to go out for a walk, and he wouldn’t allow it."
Qin Yi wasn’t surprised; he had already guessed this would happen.
"The Elf Clan never had outsiders enter before, and they are very wary of humans. Letting us stay here is already a miracle. You think you can go around exploring? Dream on."
Yun Mengyao plopped down, grabbed an apple from the fruit plate on the table, took a bite, and mumbled, "I really don’t know why you’re so insistent on staying in the Elf Clan and enduring this crap."
Qin Yi looked at her and smiled slightly, "That apple isn’t washed."
Yun Mengyao froze for three seconds, then quickly spat it out, "Why didn’t you say so earlier?"
"With your mind, would it make a difference if I said so earlier? Wouldn’t you still eat an unwashed apple in the room?"
"You..." Yun Mengyao looked frustrated, "Do you have any other tricks besides teasing me?"
Qin Yi chuckled, walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the distant scenery, taking a deep breath, "What a wonderful place."
"Wonderful, my foot," Yun Mengyao sneered, "being treated like unwanted trash, and you think that’s ’wonderful’."
Qin Yi glanced at her, rolled his eyes, and headed out.
"Where are you going?"
"To get some fresh air, so your negativity doesn’t ruin my mood."
On the ancient tree, a wooden platform was connected to the house, leading outside like a balcony.
Qin Yi stepped out and found Jing Wuyan and the others already there.
"Brother Qin, the scenery here is indeed beautiful," Jing Wuyan said, turning back to smile at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi nodded slightly, "As expected, people full of negative energy can’t appreciate beauty."
Jing Wuyan was slightly stunned.
Yun Mengyao followed out, glaring at Qin Yi, "You’re the one full of negative energy. I’m overflowing with positive energy."
Jing Wuyan then realized Qin Yi was teasing Yun Mengyao.
Qin Yi couldn’t be bothered with Yun Mengyao and said to Jing Wuyan, "The environment here is perfect for romance. You two should take the opportunity. Best if Little Creek ends up pregnant, and you can return home and marry under obligation."
Little Creek blushed deeply.
Jing Wuyan’s eyes lit up with excitement.
...
"The Elf Clan must be doing this on purpose, it’s already past mealtime and they didn’t bring us any food. This lady is starving," Yun Mengyao complained while lazily lying on a wicker chair on the platform with wooden tables and chairs.
In fact, everyone was feeling a bit hungry.
"I’ll go check." Qin Yi was feeling a bit hungry too, and soon he found Jin Wen.
Jin Wen looked puzzled, "Wasn’t dinner sent to your room? Was it not enough? I’ll have more sent over."
"Wait," Qin Yi thought for a moment, "By ’dinner’ you mean the fruits on the table, right?"
Jin Wen nodded in confusion and then realized, "I almost forgot, we Elves survive on fruit. You humans are different. This is quite a dilemma; we only have fruit here, no one knows how to make human food."
Qin Yi: "..."
Damn, how did he forget about this.
"Young Master Qin, I’m really sorry, I’m afraid you’ll have to make do."
Qin Yi shook his head with a wry smile, "It’s fine, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. At least we can take the chance to eat some fruit and cleanse our bodies."
Qin Yi went back and explained the situation.
Yun Mengyao exploded on the spot after hearing it, "I’m human, you can’t treat me like a rabbit!"
Qin Yi smiled wryly, "Bear with it a bit, we have no choice."
"When I came in earlier, I saw many small animals, like rabbits and deer. I’ll go hunt a few," Yin Qianqian suggested.
Qin Yi hurriedly stopped her, "Elves are vegetarians, we should respect their customs. If you harm those animals, they’ll definitely kick us out."
Yin Qianqian looked puzzled, "What’s up with you, Qin? Since when are you so agreeable?"
Qin Yi kept smiling wryly, picked up an apple, took a bite, "But honestly, being vegetarian is good, it’s healthy and beautifying. These fruits are juicy and sweet, delicious. Everyone, enjoy."
No one moved.
Yun Mengyao rolled her eyes dramatically, "I’ve been eating this stuff all afternoon; it doesn’t fill you up. Our stomachs just aren’t meant for this. Qin Yi, figure out some way to get meat, or I’ll starve to death before we leave the Elf Clan."
"I can’t help it either, maybe you can just eat me instead."
"With your tough skin and thick flesh, even your meat cooked with Chaotic Purple Flames wouldn’t get tender," Yun Mengyao suddenly sat up, eyes shining, "Isn’t your Flood Dragon Spear made from the Blood Flood Dragon? We might as well cook it. Snake soup is delicious, and with a Blood Flood Dragon that size, we wouldn’t worry about food for a year."
Qin Yi was dumbfounded.
The air shuddered with ripples; even the Blood Flood Dragon got scared.
"Master, this woman is too fierce. The mistress is kinder and prettier."
"Of course," Qin Yi laughed, "By the way, when did you wake up?"
"Yesterday, but my injuries aren’t fully healed. I can still fight, though."
"No rush, focus on healing. Oh, and go find Little Leaf and protect her secretly."
"Yes, Master."
