The elves present widened their eyes. They did not expect Huanhuan to be able to control plants.
The green vines in her hand looked quite unfamiliar. Even the elves who had seen many plants had never seen such vines.
Huanhuan swung the vine in her hand.
The green vine slithered in the air like a flexible long snake and wrapped around Doris' neck.
With a hard tug, Doris was thrown forward and fell heavily to the ground.
The bow flew out of her hand, and Doris' face twisted in pain.
At this moment, she was in a sorry state. She was a different person from before.
Little Green wrapped itself around her again and dragged her to Huanhuan.
Huanhuan grabbed her chin. "So much for being a high-and-mighty elf."
Panic and anger fought in Doris' heart. Her face was red, but she couldn't resist.
At this point, victory and defeat were very obvious.
However, none of the elves present was willing to admit that Doris had lost.
They could not accept losing to a beast.
Huanhuan had expected such a reaction. She said to Little Green, "Teach her how to behave for me."
The green creeper threw Doris hard. Before she could get up, it dragged her back and threw her again...
This cycle repeated.
Doris had broken many bones. She was tortured to the point of collapse. "I admit defeat!" she cried. "I lost! I'll call you 'Daddy'!"
The elves' expressions were very ugly.
Huanhuan said slowly, "You have to kneel and call me 'Daddy'. Do you know how to kneel? Do you want me to teach you?"
The bruised Doris was trembling. She looked at Huanhuan with fear.
"No, no! Don't come over!" Doris' knees went weak, and she fell to her knees. "Daddy! I'm calling you Daddy!"
The Elven Queen couldn't take it anymore. "Enough!"
Doris immediately shut up, her trembling intensifying.
The Elven Queen said angrily, "Stand up! Elven people never kneel to anyone except gods!"
Doris cried at the reprimand, but her legs remained on the ground.
She was really afraid of Huanhuan. If Huanhuan did not let her go, how would she dare to get up?
The Elven Queen was even angrier when she saw that Doris did not listen to her. "You've embarrassed all the elves!"
Doris hung her head in shame.
Actually, the Elven Queen hated Huanhuan the most.
However, Huanhuan had just defeated Doris. With their previous promise, if the Elven Queen lost her temper with her now, it would only make them look like sore losers.
The Elven Queen could only focus her anger on Doris.
Huanhuan retracted Little Green and yawned, looking bored. "What a boring banquet. Have fun. I'm going back to sleep."
Under everyone's complicated gazes, Huanhuan turned around and left.
Murphy was about to go with her when the Elven Queen stopped him.
The Elven Queen was very dissatisfied. "Didn't you hear what she just said? She already has four mates. Your relationship with her is fake. She's lying to you!"
"She's not lying to me. I already knew that she's from the beast race and already has mates and children."
"But you still want to be with her?" The Elven Queen was incredulous. "Don't you think she's dirty?!"
"Huanhuan is a kind and good girl. She saved me the first time I saw her. In my heart, she's cleaner than all of you!"
The Elven Queen was furious. "Do you know what you're saying?!"
"The elves pride themselves on being noble and pure, but ask yourselves, if you're really that pure, why is the Tree of Life slowly withering?!"
"Shut up!"
Her son's words were like a slap to the Elven Queen's face, making her feel humiliated.
The withering of the Tree of Life was not a secret among the elves, but no one had ever said anything about it. Everyone unanimously chose to ignore it.
But now, Murphy had mercilessly torn open those lies and revealed the truth that no one was willing to face.
For a moment, the expressions of all the elves present changed.
The atmosphere was oppressive and dull.
Murphy turned to leave. After a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to the Elven Queen. "Do you remember how Father died back then?"
The Elven Queen avoided his gaze.
The other elves more or less looked strange.
...
When Murphy returned to his residence, he saw Huanhuan sitting on a branch by the house, staring blankly at the distant starry sky.
Murphy walked over and sat down beside her. "I'm sorry."
Huanhuan looked away and glanced at him. "Why are you apologizing?"
"It's because I brought you to Elven God Mountain that they humiliated you."
"I wanted to come here. It has nothing to do with you." Huanhuan closed her eyes and felt the gentleness of the night wind on her cheeks. "As for their misunderstanding of the beast race, it can only highlight their ignorance and narrow-mindedness."
Murphy extended his fingers, and he combed through Huanhuan's hair with them.
"The elves have been on the mountain for too long. They've forgotten how vast the world outside is. You taught them a lesson by beating up Doris just now. I hope they can sober up..."
The corners of Huanhuan's mouth curled up. "I'm afraid they won't ever sober up."
Not only would they not sober up, but they would also hate her even more.
Murphy lowered her eyes. "If they insist on hurting you, I'll get you out of here. As for the paper you want, I'll think of something."
"Well, we'll see."
When it was dark, Murphy suggested going back to the house to rest.
They got up and went back.
There was only one bed in the house. Murphy let Huanhuan sleep on the bed while he slept on the floor.
Huanhuan felt that the bed was quite wide and comfortable for two people.
She told Murphy to come to bed.
Murphy hesitated for a moment, then finally agreed to her suggestion.
Huanhuan slept inside. To her left was the wall, and to her right was Murphy.
Murphy stayed close to the edge of the bed, trying to distance himself from Huanhuan and not touch her body.
In the middle of the night, when Huanhuan was in a daze, she felt something cold crawl up her arm. She opened her eyes and looked down. She saw that the Soul-Devouring Vine had wrapped his vines around her.
Huanhuan touched the vines, indicating that he should not move.
The Soul-Devouring Vine rubbed against Huanhuan's cheek, then saw Murphy sleeping beside her.
Blood streaked across the surface of the black vines.
He slithered along the bed to Murphy's side. The tip of the vine was aimed at Murphy's temple. It seemed that he was planning to kill the man who was sleeping with Huanhuan.
Huanhuan could only be his. Anyone who approached her had to die!
