Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Pests of Light (Fifth Update)
Quintina, who was nearby, couldn’t help but snort in anger when she heard the four words “Church of Light.”

“These pests of light are utterly annoying!”

Youna looked at Quintina with puzzled eyes.

Quintina smiled, her eyes gradually filled with a bloody glint.

“Blood Clan!” Youna exclaimed in shock.

“To be precise, a Blood Clan Earl!” Quintina said proudly.

Youna looked at Xue An, surprised.

How could she have expected the notoriously arrogant Blood Clan to submit to a human?

Who exactly was he?

Youna was pondering this when

Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian came running over, “Daddy, Bella wants to go back, but we still want to play with her!”

“My lord, we really do need to leave, or else our family will panic if they find us missing,” Isabella said as she approached.

Xue An smiled, “Then let us escort you home!”

Isabella’s eyes lit up; she also wanted to play with Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian, but she feared her sister would disagree, so she stole a glance at Youna.

Youna hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “If that’s the case, then thank you very much, my lord!”

Youna understood that Xue An’s offer to take them home was also a way of protecting them.

At this moment, An Yan couldn’t contain her curiosity any longer, walked forward with a smiling face, and said to Isabella, “Little Bella, are your ears real?”

Isabella blushed and stammered, “Of course… of course they are real!”

An Yan’s eyes grew brighter, “Then may I… touch them?”

Isabella, hearing this, blushed even more and looked at Youna for help.

Youna didn’t know whether to laugh or cry but didn’t say anything.

And An Yan was already pleading, “Just once, I promise I’ll only touch once!”

“Alright… alright then!” Isabella said bashfully, her face and even her ears turning red.

An Yan reached out and gently touched Isabella’s pointed ears, her expression gradually becoming intoxicated.

“So soft, so cute!”

The feeling was like petting a little pet cat.

But just at that moment, Isabella, as if she were drunk, turned crimson and trembled all over, then thumped to the ground.

“What’s wrong?” An Yan was startled, thinking she had broken something.

Youna stepped forward to check and shook her head with a wry smile, “It’s nothing, Bella has just never been touched on her ears before, and the sudden contact made her faint.”

An Yan patted her chest and let out a breath, then said apologetically, “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to do it! But your ears really are adorable!”

Youna’s face also instantly reddened to the roots of her ears, and she managed to say, “We… we should hurry back now!”

While on the way to the Dark Elf homeland, An Yan said softly to Xue An, “I really like those soft ears, they’re just like a little kitten’s!”

Xue An chuckled, “If you like them, why not raise one?”

“Really?” An Yan’s face brightened.

“Of course! What can’t my wife achieve if she wants to?” Xue An said with a slight smile.

But An Yan hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, “Better not!”

“Why not?”

“Because they are friends of Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian, how could I turn my daughters’ friends into pets!” An Yan explained.

They journeyed a great distance.

They continued until they reached a desolate farm on the outskirts of London.

Youna halted her steps and gently tapped on a large tree at the entrance, then uttered a phrase in a melodious voice.

Although they didn’t understand what she was saying, it still sounded incredibly enchanting.

“Honey, what did she say?”

“She spoke in the Elf language!”

“I got it, she must be reciting a spell, right? Just like those wizards in novels!” An Yan said excitedly.

Xue An chuckled, “It’s not that complicated, what she said translates to Chinese as… ‘Open Sesame!’”

Sure enough.

As soon as Youna’s voice fell, a rustling sound came from the tree, and then countless branches extended, forming a path made of twigs and leaves.

“My lord, welcome to the dwelling place of the Dark Elves!” Youna said respectfully.

After they walked down the path and passed through a curtain made of vines, they were greeted by a sudden expanse of open space.

It was a land roughly several thousand acres in size.

Numerous towering ancient trees grew there, like giants.

But compared to the tree in the center of the forest, they all seemed like children.

That tree practically touched the sky, occupying more than half the area.

From afar, one could see many tree holes in the branches of this large tree, with many people entering and exiting.

But upon closer inspection, one would discover that these people all had pointy ears, and regardless of gender, they were all exceptionally beautiful.

This wondrous scene left An Yan and the others in awe.

Xue An, however, looked at the massive tree with great interest and murmured to himself, “Interesting!”

At that moment, a squad of Elves rushed over, led by an extraordinarily handsome male Elf.

Upon seeing Youna and Isabella, the male Elf let out a sigh of relief.

“Mother Goddess bless, you’re safe!”

Then he anxiously said, “Elder Luna has been near madness with worry, please hurry back! Eh, who are these people…?”

A guarded expression appeared on the male Elf’s face, and the Elves behind him all raised their bows and arrows, aiming at Xue An.

“Yifuro, hold your fire, this is the lord who saved us!” Isabella shouted.

Yifuro paused, skepticism on his face, but he still stepped back and, placing a hand on his chest, bowed respectfully, “Yes, Princess Isabella!”

Isabella turned and said, “My lord, that tree is our Dark Elves’ Mother Goddess!”

As she spoke, her face was full of reverence.

This massive tree, like a mother, nurtured and protected this group of Dark Elves.

In their eyes, this was their Mother Goddess!

Xue An smiled faintly, saying nothing.

It was An Yan who kept murmuring to herself, “So many fluffy little ears! Heaven, I really want to touch one!”

Indeed, An Yan was charmed by the Elves’ ears.

This situation continued all the way into the Dark Elf Race’s Council Hall.

The arrival of Xue An and his company caused an uproar among the Elf Race; all the Elves crowded around to see what the commotion was about.

Now An Yan’s eyes shone even brighter, as if she longed to pick up a little Elf and pet it like a kitty.

Just then, the wooden door opened, and an elder Elf woman with white hair walked out slowly.

A jewel, symbolic of authority, rested on her forehead, sparkling brilliantly, and her countenance was dignified and compassionate.

Seeing her, all the Dark Elves bent down to pay their respects.

Isabella even whispered softly, “Elder Luna!”
