Chapter 1139: Moon G.o.d Continent (3)
Without farming, they would lose their source of food, as most elves were vegetarians and they were unwilling to harm small animals. To them, animals were also living beings nurtured by the Tree of Life. With that in mind, it could be said that elves had some relations with them.
Therefore, in the Moon G.o.d Continent, the food for elves was very simple. What they ate was basically fruits grown on trees.
Just because they were not farming did not mean that they did not like to eat. The food that humans used to trade with them was very popular among the elves.
This trade relations.h.i.+p had been going on for eons, and this was the first time Shen Yanxiao heard that the elves had started to reject gems.
That did not make sense!
Elves were all beautiful and n.o.ble by virtue of their race. They were like natural aristocrats. Even the poorest elves would be the subjects of study for the most famous aristocrats in the Brilliance Continent.
Being fond of beautiful things were the characteristics of elves. They liked to embed various gems on their ornaments at home. Even their bows had gems as decorations.
They liked jewels, but the Moon G.o.d Continent was covered in greenery. The mineral reserves on the continent could be said to be pitifully small. Before humans traded gems with elves, the value of gems in the Moon G.o.d Continent was comparable to magical cores in the human world.
Shen Yanxiao found the elves’ sudden rejection intriguing.
The fat man tried his best to persuade the elf guard, but the elf’s disregard for humans had reached an appalling level. No matter how the fat man tried to persuade him, the elf still had an indisputable expression.
The fat man hung his head in dejection and shrugged his shoulders. He wanted to cry but had no tears as he looked at the Moon G.o.d Continent that was only one checkpoint away. If it were not for the fact that he was afraid that the elves would pepper him with arrows until he looked like a porcupine, he would have already pounced over.
“Forget it. Consider this as a wasted trip. Let’s come back next time.” The fat man’s companion comforted him.
The fat man had a bitter expression on his face as he said, “It takes almost two months to go back and forth. How much time are we wasting? Besides, I’ve already purchased so many gems. Don’t tell me it’s going to be in vain?” G.o.d wanted him dead!
“Alas, there’s nothing we can do about it. I reckon it’s because of what happened three months ago. The elves must be unhappy.”
“F*ck! Do you think that idiot named Shen Jing has gone crazy? Since he came to the Moon G.o.d Continent to do business, he should just focus on doing business. Why would he come and flirt with a beauty from the elvish race for no reason? Great, now even honest merchants like us got implicated. My money ahhh… this trip has been in vain. How much did I lose!!” The fatty looked up to the sky and roared. He squinted his eyes and squeezed out two drops of tears.
Shen Yanxiao originally treated it as gossip, but when she heard the name of a certain uncle, her expression immediately became unsettled.
“I’m going out for a while.” Shen Yanxiao said to the Qilin Family.
“Please go ahead. The paperwork will take a while,” the Qilin Family member politely said.
Shen Yanxiao nodded and called for Vermilion Bird to walk towards the fat man who was rolling around on the ground for help.
The fat man was still unwilling to give up. He dragged his companion to wander around the entrance, looking for ways he could enter.
Just as the fat man was feeling sorry for himself in his tragedy, a delicate voice sounded from behind him.
“Brother, you mentioned that some humans came to the Moon G.o.d Continent to hara.s.s the elves. Could you tell me more in detail?”
