Chapter Title: Are You an Elf or a Succubus?
-------------------------------------
Facts proved that although Yue Ling came from the royal family and had systematically studied these things, making her theoretical knowledge practically perfect…
She indeed had no practical combat experience.
After being caught by her weak point and fiercely attacked by Su Yi, whose strength was far inferior to hers, she retreated step by step in no time.
Ultimately, the goal of "Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner" was successfully achieved by her as she wished.
Both parties were overjoyed.
......
After tasting the flavor of an elf, Su Yi finally understood why elves were depicted as family heirlooms desired by all races in so many movies, TV shows, and literary works.
Not only was she beautiful, but after deepening his understanding of her, there was a completely different and unique flavor to her.
Who wouldn’t love this?
For the whole morning, Su Yi didn't even step out of the door, and he just passed the time shamelessly like that.
By the time he went out at noon, even though he had drunk the Water of Life and now had a physique as strong as a bull, he couldn't quite handle it, and he almost had to support himself against the wall to walk out.
On the contrary, Yue Ling, who looked very weak in combat during actual practice and clamored to surrender just a few minutes into every game…
Was now acting like nothing had happened.
There was no helping it. After all, she was some kind of knight back in her world, a fierce warrior who could take an enemy general's head from amidst an army of a million as easily as taking something out of her own pocket.
She wouldn't actually be exhausted to the point of collapsing just because of this little matter.
While eating, Su Yi suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, is there reproductive isolation between humans and elves? I mean, can they have children?"
Yue Ling, who was eating, was stunned for a moment, then she rolled her eyes at him and said:
"Now you know to be afraid. Don't worry, I know magic. As long as I don't want to, I won't get pregnant."
"Afraid? What the hell am I afraid of?"
Hearing what she said, Su Yi was instantly displeased.
"You don't even look at how much money’s in my account. Let alone having one or two, even if you gave birth to eight or ten, I wouldn't be afraid at all, alright?!"
Other people were afraid of their girlfriends getting pregnant because the pressure of survival in modern society was high, and they were exhausted just working every day to support themselves.
If they didn't take safety measures and their girlfriend suddenly got pregnant, not only would they have to support themselves, but they’d also have a pregnant wife and a soon-to-be-born child to add to their daily expenses. What difference was there between this and the sky falling?
They all say that one must never touch loan sharks, get mortgages, or pass down debts to the next generation*.
But compared to having a family, loan sharks could be considered low-interest.
In this day and age, who dares to have children without some family savings?
But Su Yi didn't have such problems anymore.
If he really hit the target after fighting hard all morning, then Yue Ling should just give birth. What was the big deal?
Hearing this, Yue Ling didn't refute him.
She had now learned the language of this world, and as she was now able to obtain a massive amount of information through internet channels, she already had some understanding of her current world.
So she knew that Su Yi wasn't bragging. With his current financial resources, things that many ordinary people wouldn't dare to touch were nothing to him at all now.
"There’s no reproductive isolation between humans and elves. However, if there’s no external interference, it’s more difficult for such couples to conceive than it is between normal humans or between elves.
But the children born from this kind of mixed blood won’t have any defects. On the contrary, there’s a very high probability that they’ll inherit the common advantages of both sides. Children born from the mixed blood of humans and elves often inherit the beauty of elves. They can even become more beautiful than elves. And they can also inherit the intelligence and agility of humans, as well as their superior talent.
Mhm, I forgot to tell you, in our world, humans are recognized as the most intelligent and agile race, and they’re also the most powerful race at present. Among all of the races, humans also have the fastest speed in developing martial arts and magic.
The fact that the humans on your side could create so many miraculous items in just a few thousand years also proves this point."
"Mixed-blood children have such a huge advantage?"
Su Yi couldn't help but feel a bit tempted upon hearing this.
He glanced at Yue Ling's flat lower abdomen while pondering whether to create one and try it out.
However, Yue Ling then changed the subject and said:
"But these mixed-blood children don't live very well in our world. We value bloodlines there. Regarding these special mixed-blood descendants, neither humans nor elves are very willing to accept them. Although their talents are astonishing and their appearances are outstanding, they’re a minority group, after all. Unable to be accepted by the mainstream, they can’t obtain the resources they need.
Moreover, these mixed-blood groups won’t exist long-term. Even if they intermarry among themselves, after a few generations of changes, they’ll gradually begin to experience atavism, leaning towards either the human or elven side, and eventually completely assimilate into either of the two races. This also results in this special group having no continuity, unable to form a new ethnic group. Naturally, they can’t compete against the other races.
So they usually live very miserably."
After hearing this, Su Yi couldn't help but feel somewhat speechless:
"That's why feudal thinking is unacceptable! They’re good-looking, smart, and talented, yet they end up being despised by both mainstream groups together instead of being eagerly absorbed? That’s just too outrageous, right?"
"In our world, bloodline’s very important. This point can probably be traced back to where each race originally came from. Maintaining bloodlines is the consensus of all races."
Yue Ling shrugged her shoulders.
"The Dark Elves who overthrew the rule of our Elven Kingdom also possess an extremely noble bloodline within the Elven Race. Otherwise, no matter how our royal family courted death, or how much we governed the world into a state of misery and suffering, it would have been absolutely impossible for the kingdom to fall.
Because whether it's the other powerful tribes of elves, or the high-ranking officials of the humans or the other races, they would never allow an allied army composed of elves with 'lowly' bloodlines to violently overthrow the Moon Elf royal family, which possesses a 'noble' bloodline. But the Dark Elves, who also possess a 'noble' bloodline, could.
The bloodline theory is actually one of the important reasons for the fall of our Moon Elves. Because of the existence of this thing, we usually had almost no sense of crisis, which was why we were defeated by the Dark Elves in one wave despite holding all of the advantages."
No matter how Su Yi looked at it, he felt that it was a bit outrageous that the various countries and races in any world could take this bloodline theory as the foundation of their beliefs.
But thinking about it carefully, it seemed quite reasonable.
After all, according to Yue Ling's words, the Blazing Sun Empire where Vivi was located had existed for over a hundred thousand years.
This was far more outrageous than Blue Star, which had no bloodline theory.
He absolutely didn't believe that this kind of feudal dynasty had nothing but wise rulers and no incompetent ones for over a hundred thousand consecutive years.
That was clearly impossible.
And to be able to last for so long, it clearly relied on the tacit understanding regarding "bloodlines" among the high-level nobles of the entire world.
They tacitly rejected anyone who might ascend to a high position but didn’t have a "noble" bloodline.
When the fundamental interest of "bloodline" was touched upon, they would cast aside their prejudices, unite, and face the outside world together.
It had to be said, it was quite magical.
As expected of a world where extraordinary power existed.
Seeing the topic straying further and further away, Su Yi hurriedly pulled it back.
"So how about you give birth to a mixed-blood baby for me to see?"
Hearing this, Yue Ling blinked her large eyes and smiled.
"As long as you’re willing, of course I can.
By the way, the gestation period for elves is usually around three years, and sometimes it might even reach four years.
During this period, you won't be able to touch me."
As she spoke, her clear, watery eyes even blinked at Su Yi.
How did that appearance look anything like an elf? She was simply a damn succubus!

*A clever pun that got lost in translation. The traditional phrase is "傳宗接代" (chuán zōng jiē dài), which means "to carry on the family line". The pun replaces "代" (generation) with "貸" (loan/debt), which sounds identical. The joke is that having children in today's economy just means passing down your massive debts to them.
T/N - Yeah, like I thought. Well, while the author didn’t write any sex scenes, at least they made it explicitly clear that the MC and Yue Ling did the deed and are now together. Much better than being vague about it for 100 chapters. 😅
Also, we get some background lore about mixed-bloods in the other world. I get the feeling that the MC’s about to hire many of them. Good-looking and talented? Sounds like the perfect employees for his farm. And they even come with an unbreakable contract from the trading platform. The only issue is the MC’s lack of permission cards.
