Logically speaking, humanoid races generally don't eat each other, even though orcs are quite ferocious. However, Stone doesn't quite believe they would actually eat elves.
"Luo Pipi, what do you think?"
Luo Pipi grabbed a small pink fruit from the basket beside him, stuffed it into his mouth, and mumbled, "Racial war."
"Oh? You have a story to tell?"
Luo Pipi swallowed the fruit in a few gulps, then spat the pit into his palm: "Isn't a racial war normal? Several intelligent races have a major war every now and then."
"So, humans and elves have also fought a great war?"
"Yes, and it happens frequently."
"But I don't think elves hate humans that much."
“Because humans treat prisoners well.” Luo Pipi grabbed a few more fruits and chewed them as he answered, “Hundreds of years ago, a living elf could be sold for millions of gold coins, while a dead elf couldn’t be sold for a single copper coin.”
"So, the war between humans and elves was just to capture elves?"
"That should be the case. Although elves have long lifespans, their youth and beauty generally only last until they are about five hundred years old. Once they pass that age, they are sent back to the elven race by humans to wait for them to give birth to elves before attacking again."
"This is really..." Stone stared blankly, speechless. What is this? Domesticated?
Xue'er frowned as she looked at Luo Pipi: "If it were me, I would rather die than be supported by humans."
"Don't worry, no human would support beastmen." Luo Pipi rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "It's only now. If it were Princess Irene's time, humans would kill any beastman they saw."
"Why? What did we do wrong?"
"I don't know the specific reasons. Anyway, according to historical records, the relationship between orcs and humans was extremely hostile in that era. The most famous anti-orc representative was Princess Irene, the Goddess of Magic. In her time, any magic apprentice had to kill a certain number of orcs in order to advance."
Shi Tou silently wiped her sweat. Actually, well... she felt she really loved animals, so how could this be...?
As the group was chatting, suddenly, a song drifted from afar.
Stone couldn't understand the lyrics of the song at all. The biggest difference between the pronunciation and the common language of the mainland was that each syllable seemed to have several circles, and the connection between the syllables was very harmonious, as if those syllables were naturally connected in this way.
After listening for a few seconds, Stone felt a profound stillness in his mind, as if he were completely immersed in the song. In this beautiful melody, all his worries seemed to disappear without a trace, and he felt light and airy, as if floating on a cloud.
"Gaga, Master, wake up! The spirits of the Demon Sound Forest have arrived!"
Just as Shi Tou was completely absorbed in the song, Bao Zi's shrill voice suddenly rang in her mind.
To be honest, while Baozi's voice wasn't exactly melodious, it was usually quite clear and crisp. However, after hearing this song, Shi Tou suddenly felt that Baozi's voice was incredibly sharp and piercing.
"You damn steamed bun!" Stone instinctively retorted, then suddenly cried out in alarm, "Wait, that singing..."
Whether it was due to Stone's psychological state or not, she suddenly jolted awake and jumped up from her lying position, shouting, "Wake up, all of you!"
Inside the tent, besides Stone, were Luo Pipi, Xue'er, and Linda. When they heard Stone's cry, they all looked as if they had been startled awake from a dream.
"Stone, what are you doing? It sounds so beautiful..." In Chapter 224 of Xue'er's story, the elves of the land thus reduced their interactions, to the point that some young elves only knew about the songs of the elves of the Demon Sound Forest from stories told by the elders. But the problem is, how can hearing others tell you the same thing as hearing it with your own ears?
Recalling the song from earlier, Stone thought that the young elves would surely welcome the visitors from the Demon Sound Forest with great enthusiasm.
After waiting for a long time, the guests finally appeared. To the surprise of Stone and the others, all of them were male elves.
There were seven male elves who came. In terms of appearance, they were all much less handsome than the elves of the Moon Goddess Forest, but they were still considered to be among the most handsome men in the human world.
"Fellow citizens of the Moon Goddess Forest, I come from the Demon Sound Forest."

I've been so busy these past few days during the Chinese New Year holiday. My mom even took my pan-fried buns to my grandma's house.
Heavens above, there's no internet at my grandma's house! /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
So, after writing the text, I would go to someone's house to use their Wi-Fi to upload the pan-fried buns.
Thankfully, I'm finally home today.
Happy belated New Year, dear!
Happy New Year! (Your support is my greatest motivation.)
☆, Chapter 223 Kipur and Isamu
"Tsk tsk, they're all handsome men!" Stone sat at the tent entrance, propping his chin up with his hand, looking at the elves from the Demon Sound Forest in the distance with a lewd expression.
Luo Pipi, speechless, moved herself as far away from the stone as possible, muttering a low complaint: "Do you have to be so dramatic?"
His expression was lewd, and he kept smacking his lips, practically drooling.
"So beautiful~~~" Stone didn't care about other people's opinions at all; she had never been able to resist beautiful things.
Luo Pipi touched his nose and asked helplessly, "Your Chapter 225 is from here!"
"Well, maybe someone, oh no, maybe an elf wouldn't mind changing wives?" Stone pouted, got up and patted his butt in dissatisfaction.
"Once elves form a mate, it's for life!"
“But some elves are willing to have multiple wives!” Stone was completely making excuses. She wasn't actually interested in Kipur; she just found arguing with Lopipi fun to do. [~]
Luo Pipi glared angrily at Shi Tou: "They wouldn't have chosen you if they weren't blind!"
That was too harsh. Shi Tou pouted, looking like he was about to cry: "Luo Pipi, you're so mean! I... I was just dumped by my fiancé..."
Luo Pipi looked at Shi Tou with a skeptical expression. Although Shi Tou's expression seemed genuine, her intuition told her that this brat was probably playing a trick on her again!
"Linda, come out here! Tell her, did my fiancé dump me?" Stone cried, covering his face with his hands.
Soon, Linda came out of the tent with a suspicious look on her face: "Hmm?" Although she had heard most of what happened inside the tent, she didn't know whether to cooperate with Shi Tou or expose him.
"Linda, who is Stone's fiancé?"
The question was simple: "Lin An." After thinking for a moment, she added, "A young master from a collateral branch of the Lin family, but he later married a young lady from the Han family."
Luo Pipi was stunned, not expecting Shi Tou to tell the truth: "Really?"
“It’s true that you have a fiancé, and it’s also true that your fiancé married someone else.” Linda paused, then continued, “But it’s not that Lin An abandoned you, Miss. It’s that you got into a fight with someone and agreed that whoever lost would marry Lin An.”
Who lost and got to marry Lin An?
Suddenly, Pipi felt a sharp pain in her gums!
"So, Stone's opponent deliberately conceded defeat?"
"How could that be? Miss and her opponent refused to admit defeat; it was a brutal fight!" Linda hadn't witnessed the match herself, but she later heard the story from Huo Xiaoxiao. The problem is, generally speaking, stories heard are much more exciting than the real ones...
"Oh, I see. So the one who's truly pitiful isn't your young lady, but that fiancé?" Luo Pipi wasn't stupid; after hearing Linda's explanation, she immediately understood: "Stone, it's probably you who's looking down on him, isn't it? Ugh~~~"
Stone opened his mouth to retort, but was so startled by Luo Pipi's scream that he fell to the ground with a thud: "What are you doing?!"
Luo Pipi looked at Shi Tou with a face full of horror: "I remember now, the fourth prince of the Luo Ming Empire wants you to marry him!"
Stone was so choked by those words that he was almost dead, and it took him a long time to catch his breath.
"Heavens! Didn't they say the Fourth Prince is incredibly handsome? Why aren't you satisfied yet?" Luo Pipi gave Shi Tou a look that said, "You insatiable bastard," making Shi Tou roll his eyes.
"A beauty that could topple kingdoms..." Stone stared at Luo Pipi with a conflicted expression: "Yi Siyue is absolutely stunning and alluring!"
That's a really inhumane way to use that word!
"Yisiyue!"
Just as Stone and Luo Pipi were arguing, the neglected handsome guy Kipur suddenly jumped up from his spot and floated to Stone's front with the speed of the wind, pressing his entire face against Stone's eyes.
"Ouch!" Although Stone admitted that Kipur was a handsome guy, no matter how handsome a face is, if it were less than an inch away from your eyes, you would feel terrified!
Well, distance makes the heart grow fonder, that's absolutely true!
“Miss Human, what did you just say? Ishizuki!” Kipur stared at the stone with gleaming eyes.
Shi Tou gasped sharply, quickly took two steps back, and then patted his chest before saying, "Yes, it's Yi Siyue. What's wrong?"
"The Yishiyue you're talking about is a direct descendant of Princess Yilin? The eldest son and grandson?" Kipur's eyes were no longer just shining, they were practically radiating electricity.
The stone, charred and scalded by the electric shock, gasped for breath and began to imagine the bromance between Ishizuki and Kipur: "You know him?"
"Yes! He's currently a guest in our forest!"

Chapter 224 Would You Be a Substitute?
"Hiss~~~"
Seeing the stone gasping in fright, Luo Pipi, quite disloyally, burst into laughter beside it: "Haha, I know, our next stop is the Demon Sound Forest!"
Kipur looked at Luo Pipi with delight: "Great! Princess Yisiyue will be very happy!"
"Who said I was going to the Demon Sound Forest?!" Stone finally came to his senses and glared fiercely at Luo Pipi: "Didn't we plan to leave after dropping off Mifen'er here?"
"But the elves say that Rice Noodles is an elf from the Demon Sound Forest."
"No, there's no evidence at all! Wasn't it just because MiFen'er was ugly? But in fact, the elves of the Demon Sound Forest aren't ugly at all!"
That's true. Although the elves of the Demon Sound Forest are slightly less attractive than the elves of the Moon Goddess Forest, they are definitely not ugly!
“But, hasn’t no one said that Mi Fen’er is an elf from the Moon Goddess’s Forest?” Luo Pipi spread his hands, indicating that Shi Tou’s idea was quite unreliable: “Let me tell you, it is very difficult for elves to reproduce. It’s not like hundreds of years ago when elves would often disappear. If a family loses a child, they will definitely be very anxious.”
"Difficulty conceiving?!" Stone retorted through gritted teeth, "Then why did that unreliable Elder Shanna give birth to a whole bunch of little elves?!"
Luo Pipi's face twitched incessantly. She really wanted to laugh, but she wasn't made of stone, and she had to consider the thoughts of the elves around her: "Ahem, an exception, this is probably an exception. Normally, a pair of elves can have two children in their lifetime. That's already a lot."
“Really?” Stone turned to look at Kipur.
