Even if they encountered someone who tried to force them, elves would choose to burn their life force and end their own lives the moment they realized they couldn’t resist, turning their bodies into pure magic power and returning to nature. Therefore, so far, no one had ever obtained an elf’s purity.
This was also one of the reasons why men from other races were so obsessed with elves.
After all, they were a group of unattainable flowers, untouched by anyone!
If one succeeded, wouldn’t that prove they were the most outstanding man in the world?
Something to brag about for a lifetime!
But when they tried to pursue elven girls, the elves, wary of men from other races, wouldn’t give them any chance. And when they tried to use force, the elves would burn their life force and commit suicide without hesitation. So, who could possibly succeed?
The only ones who had a chance were those heroes of noble character who wouldn’t covet an elf’s body.
But even if elves fell in love with these heroes, considering the difference in their lifespans, they still wouldn’t accept this love, only choosing to silently dedicate themselves until their beloved found happiness, then leaving alone, their love becoming a tragic tale.
So, how could any elf lose their virginity?
“So…” Shien pointed at himself, extremely surprised. “I’ve become the only man in the world to have… been with an elf?”
This…
Seemed kind of awesome…?
However, Melika wasn’t feeling awesome at all.
“It’s all Mr. Shien’s fault.” Melika said anxiously and fearfully, “What should I do now?”
Melika was truly at a loss and scared.
Not because she had given herself to Shien.
In fact, even after what happened, Melika didn’t blame Shien much.
As mentioned before, elves in love only knew selfless devotion.
Even sacrificing themselves, if necessary, they would accept it. It was just that no elf had ever encountered such a situation before.
Someone like Shien, who could make an elf fall in love with him, yet wasn’t a noble person at all, even a bit of a scumbag, who “devoured” an elven girl without a word, had never appeared before.
Logically speaking, such a wicked man from another race, pure and innocent elves shouldn’t fall in love with him.
Yet, Shien achieved it.
From this perspective, Shien had to admit that he was truly the chosen one.
But since there had never been such a precedent among elves, Melika, as the first, was scared and panicked.
She didn’t even dare to imagine how her people would view her if this got out.
Would they see her as a disgrace to the Elven Race?
Or would they think she was depraved and shameless?
What should she do?
Confusion and fear about the future were Melika’s only emotions, making her truly afraid.
“What should I do, Mr. Shien?”
The helpless Melika could only hug Shien and cry again, feeling wronged and heartbroken.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry, it’s okay.” Shien quickly wiped away her tears. “No one knows about this anyway. Even if they did, am I an irresponsible person? I can just tell everyone that I’ll marry you.”
Shien thought that saying this would reassure Melika.
But Melika shook her head again, still not reassured.
“They won’t accept it.”
Melika sobbed.
“Why?” Shien asked in confusion, “Does the Elven Race have a rule against marrying men from other races?”
If there was such a ridiculous rule, Shien felt that he had to go to the Queen’s Palace and cause a scene.
But this time, Melika neither nodded nor shook her head.
“The Elven Race doesn’t have a rule against marrying other races, because we don’t need to get married, and we don’t even consider it.” Melika said with a sniffle, “Elves consider love sacred, but also a deadly poison.”
“Because we are long-lived, and there’s a fundamental difference in lifespan between us and men from other races.”
“For example, humans only live for a hundred years, but in our Elven Race, that’s not even enough for a newly transformed elf to reach adulthood.”
“Elven children reach adulthood at one hundred and fifty years old, and their lifespan ends at a thousand years. High-level elves live even longer, and none of the elven royalty have ever died of old age, either from accidents or in battle.”
“For us, a hundred years is probably only equivalent to five or six years for other races.”
“And if we were to be with a man from another race, we would have to watch him grow old and die after just five or six years. That would be too sad, too painful.”
“Therefore, elves won’t discriminate against those who fall in love with men from other races, only sympathize with them and pity them.”
“But if someone wants to be with a man from another race regardless of the consequences, then our people will definitely object, considering it irrational and reckless.”
Melika’s explanation left Shien speechless.
From a certain perspective, this viewpoint wasn’t wrong.
If a human fell in love with someone who would grow old and die in five or six years, they would probably also choose to hide their feelings, not revealing them or pursuing a relationship, right?
