Chapter 016: Will You Take It?

“Shameless! Shameless!” Du Fan’s cheerleaders, seeing him at a disadvantage, began blaming the elf lying on top of him.
Suddenly, Du Fan felt a heavy weight on his body. The bark on his hands and feet could no longer bear the weight of two people and started creaking.
With a quick decision, Du Fan activated his domain, instantly pushing that person away. This time, he didn’t let the domain release on its own but kept it surrounding him like a big white ball as he climbed upward with all his might.
Seeing this, the elves became desperate. Those still on Du Fan’s back climbed to directly above him, released their hands, and used their bodies as weapons to attack.
Du Fan, who was prepared, quickly sidestepped their attacks, causing those desperate elves attempting suicidal attacks to fall continuously. By this point, thanks to the power of his domain at its peak, Du Fan was much faster than those elves.
Unmarried male elves were usually very young, and at such an age, none of them had the cultivation level to match Du Fan.
Soon, under everyone’s gaze, Du Fan plucked the Thousand-Year Love and, holding the white flower, walked toward Lan Ling and Nai Xiu with a smile.
“Elder, look! Lord Du Fan has picked the Thousand-Year Love and is coming toward us,” Lan Ling said smiling, her tone as calm as ever.
“Oh, is that so? It does seem he’s coming this way,” Nai Xiu replied absentmindedly.
“Don’t come over! Don’t come over!” Nai Xiu silently prayed in panic, yet strangely, deep down, she seemed to long for Du Fan to come.
“Is the Elder nervous?” Lan Ling asked, noticing Nai Xiu’s distracted state and her changing expressions.
“Mm, I just want to see who he’ll give the Thousand-Year Love to,” Nai Xiu replied evasively.
“Well, the answer will come soon,” Lan Ling said with a mysterious smile. Seeing this smile, Nai Xiu suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety.
At this moment, many elf girls gathered around. By the time Du Fan stopped in front of Lan Ling and Nai Xiu, he was already surrounded by a circle of elf girls.
Du Fan raised the Thousand-Year Love and paused in front of the circle of girls surrounding him.

“Elder Du Fan, do you really intend to give it to me?” Every elven girl whose “Millennium Love” had been paused in front of her by Du Fan cried out excitedly. When Du Fan moved “Millennium Love” to another girl, those girls whose turn had been paused collapsed in despair.

As fewer and fewer girls surrounded Du Fan, Naixiu felt as though she was gradually suffocating.

Soon, only Naixiu and Lan Ling remained in front of Du Fan. With the elven girls lying scattered on the ground, Du Fan stood before Naixiu and Lan Ling, holding “Millennium Love” in his hands.

As the Great Sage, Lan Ling wisely stepped back.

Now, it was Du Fan standing in front of Naixiu, holding “Millennium Love” in his hands.

“Is it really me? Is it really me?” Looking at Du Fan smiling before her, Naixiu’s mind went blank.

“A human! How can I marry a human? No, I won’t allow it!” Recalling her childhood experiences, Naixiu cried out inwardly.

“But this is the decree of the Goddess of Nature! How can I defy it? Can I really defy it?” Naixiu thought again.

“What should I do! What should I do!” Naixiu screamed inwardly.

Seeing Naixiu’s face turning red due to the intense inner struggle, Du Fan suddenly remembered the stunning scene when she had emerged from the spring. His expression was utterly sincere, with a holy curve on his lips.

At this moment, Du Fan appeared incredibly holy. Coupled with his ability to emit the aura of the divine essence, in the eyes of the elves, he almost seemed like an incarnation of a god.

“What a devout believer,” many elves thought.

“Such a holy person—even if he’s a human, what’s wrong with marrying him?” The elves were all awestruck by Du Fan’s holy appearance.

“Dear Miss Naixiu, will you accept it?” Du Fan tried even harder to display his holiness, as if the entire world revolved around him. At this moment, Du Fan was truly an incarnation of a god!

“Mm… With such a holy aura, and being a guest approved by the Goddess of Nature, this man seems quite alright.” These were Naixiu’s last thoughts before her consciousness faded due to the intense inner struggle.

Du Fan gently took Naixiu’s right hand. Just as he placed “Millennium Love” in her hand, due to the extreme inner struggle, Naixiu finally lost consciousness.

Of course, in the eyes of others, Naixiu’s red face and her sudden fainting after receiving the Millennium Love all suggested that this elf girl had also fainted from being overwhelmed by the sudden happiness. With a slight smile, Du Fan gently picked her up. In the room carefully cleaned by the elves for Du Fan and Naixiu, Naixiu lay quietly on the bed while Du Fan sat on a chair nearby, examining her carefully. “She’s really beautiful—truly stunning. Look at her face, those long eyelashes, those attractive lips. Oh, although it’s a bit smaller than Bilanling’s, it’s still larger compared to other elf women. I touched it just now; it felt pretty good too,” Du Fan thought to himself. As he thought this, he reached out and touched her chest several times. “Tsk tsk, really good. It’s not huge, but it’s surprisingly elastic and firm,” he marveled once again. Just as his hand left her chest, Naixiu woke up at just the right time. Seeing Du Fan’s hand only an inch away from her chest, as if about to touch her, she quickly moved away and sat up on the bed. “Why hide? I’ve already touched you,” Du Fan said with a laugh, rubbing his nose. “You! Scoundrel!” Naixiu snapped in anger. “Huh, so in your elf race, that kind of behavior is called scoundrelism? How about I be a scoundrel again?” Saying this, he reached out his hand again and walked toward her seductively. “Idiot!” Seeing Du Fan approaching, Naixiu completely forgot that she too had reached the peak of her cultivation and hugged her arms tightly over her chest like a little girl. “Come on, come on. Little darling, let me touch you again,” Du Fan ignored the terms like scoundrel or idiot and moved closer to her. “Bad guy! If you come any closer, I’ll call for help!” Naixiu cried out. “Huh? Did you forget? I was the one who handed you the Millennium Love personally. According to your elf rules, you belong to me now. Do you really think those elves would come in to stop me from flirting with my own wife?” Looking at her as if she were an idiot, Du Fan stopped, lowered his hand, and watched her with interest. “Even so, you can’t force yourself on me without my consent,” Naixiu said softly.

Upon hearing Naixiu’s words, Du Fan immediately felt there was a chance.
“Well then, under what circumstances would you agree?” Du Fan asked, smiling at Naixiu with a pure expression.
“That man doesn’t seem too bad. At least, he didn’t take advantage of me while I was unconscious,” Naixiu thought for a moment before answering.
“If you can help me find my parents…” She bit her lip and spoke softly after some thought.
“Your parents? Aren’t they in the Elven Realm?” Du Fan asked after pondering.
“A long time ago, they were captured by humans and sold to a noble. Over a hundred years have passed, and I no longer know where they are,” Naixiu said with a sad expression.
When Naixiu grew sad, she revealed a different kind of haunting beauty. This sudden change in her expression left Du Fan stunned, and he instinctively wanted to help her.
“Do you know where your parents were sold to?” Du Fan asked gently.
“I don’t know. I ran away when I was only ten, and I grew up locked up in a house. Although I remember the buildings there clearly, I don’t know exactly where it is on the continent,” Naixiu replied.
“Do you have any idea of the general location?” Du Fan asked.
“Probably in what is now the Lanxi Empire. But…” Naixiu suddenly remembered something. “If I can find that benefactor, they might know where my parents were kept.”
“Benefactor? Who is your benefactor? Where is he?” Du Fan asked eagerly. If someone knew, then finding that key person would suffice.
“That benefactor is the respected Lord Buze,” Naixiu said with reverence. “Lord Buze is the legendary ranger of our elven race. He travels among human kingdoms, and his whereabouts are hard to trace.” At these words, Naixiu’s expression darkened. Although Lord Buze had a good relationship with the chief elder, even the chief elder didn’t know where he was. How could they find him then?
“Don’t worry. Once I return to the human kingdoms, I’ll do my best to find Lord Buze!” Du Fan said firmly to Naixiu. With such confidence—being the third son of the Green Family and a duke of the empire—Du Fan was sure he could locate that elven ranger, Buze.

Seeing Du Fan’s determined gaze, Naixiu felt inexplicably panicked.
