Chapter 82 This Is My Child
Elder Elhuya looked at Xu Yi with a smile, and the smile on his face was a little more intimate than before.
"Yanis is waiting for you, go see her."
"good."
Xu Yi responded and stopped greetings with the two elders. Under the leadership of a female elf from the Yueying tribe who was in charge of leading the way, he entered a tall tree house in the tribal territory.
In the tree house, Yanis was originally closing his eyes to rest his energy. When he heard the footsteps outside, he immediately opened his eyes wide and stared at the door with anticipation.
Seeing Xu Yi coming in, Yanis bounced up from the half-lying bed and threw herself into Xu Yi's arms.
"Sir, you finally come to see me!"
Xu Yi rolled his eyes: "I have wanted to see you for a long time, but Elder Lisanya and Elder Erucia have never allowed them."
Yanis laughed: "Don't blame the elders, they are also for me to be able to give birth to this child safely."
When Anis talked about the child, Xu Yi looked around and saw no one else in the house.
"Where is the child?"
"The elder said that the child's condition is not stable, and he has been observing in the Moon Well these days." Yanis replied.
"Unstable? What's going on?" Xu Yi was a little surprised and worried.
This is his first child with Yanes. He represents a very important significance. If something goes wrong, the consequences can be very serious.
Seeing Xu Yi's nervous look, Yanis shook his head happily: "It's okay, it's not a big deal, it's just that the elders value him too much, so they are particularly careful with him."
"He? Is he a boy?" Xu Yi keenly discovered this.
"Well. She's a very beautiful boy. She looks very much like you." Yanis smiled.
"How can I be very beautiful like me? I am only beautiful like you." Xu Yi laughed.
In fact, he received a notice from Elder Risanya a week ago. He claimed that Yanis and his children had been born safely, and until now, he felt full of unreality.
Although in the year and a half since Yanis left him, he had guessed from all aspects that Yanis should have been pregnant with his child, he still felt a little strange when he knew that Yanis had really given birth to this child.
According to Elders Risanya and Ellihia, this is the first ever on the Continent of Synes that can gain both sides at the same time, especially the elves recognition. The combination of humans and elves.
But the other party to this union is Xu Yi himself.
"Let's go see the children together." Xu Yi suggested.
"Okay, but I have to go and say something to the elder first."
Yanis pulled Xu Yi out together and found Elder Ellisia again. Then the four of them walked deep into the tribe and came to the Moon Well located in the center of the entire tribe.
On the water surface where stars are shining in the moon well, there is a small wooden basin floating gently with the breeze.
In the wooden tub, there is a baby who looks no different from a human baby lying in it, closing his eyes, looking peacefully asleep.
"Is this our children? Why can't we see the characteristics of many elves?" Xu Yiqi said.
Elder Lisanya and Elder Erucia looked at each other with a helpless look.
"There is no way, your human genetic characteristics are too obvious. According to the records in the tribe, as long as other races combine with humans, the children born in the end will always be closer to humans. Our elves are not much different from humans, and the half-elves left after they combine with humans will naturally be more like humans."
"Of course there are still some differences." Elder Elhuia reached out and waved, and a breeze rose out of thin air, blowing the wooden basin closer to the direction where everyone was.
When the wooden basin floated over, Elder Elhuia leaned over and picked up the baby and held it in front of Xu Yi.
"Look, his ears and eyes still have very obvious elves characteristics. If you look at it carefully, you can still find the difference between them and humans."
Xu Yi looked closely and found that the baby's ears were indeed much longer than ordinary humans. Although they were far less sharp and obvious than normal elves, they were easy to find the difference from normal humans.
In addition, his eyes were particularly bright, and his pupils did not inherit Xu Yi's pure black, but a dark blue color, which made people couldn't help but secretly praise him for his beauty in his heart at first glance.
Of course, the most obvious difference is that the center of this pupil is not a circular small hole like an ordinary human, but an elliptical shape, with patterns around it, which is obviously different from humans.
Xu Yi turned his head and looked at Yanis, Elder Erucia and Elder Lisanya beside him, and found that their pupils were also oval and had a flatter shape.
From this point of view, what Elder Lisanya said just now is not correct at all.
Compared with other races on the Continent of Sainz, human genetic genes are stronger.
If it is combined with humans, the genetic genes of other races will be fused little by little and eventually disappear.
"Maybe this is why the Sains Continent is finally ruled by humans?" Xu Yi guessed in his heart.
"Great"
The sleeping baby suddenly opened his eyes and woke up, but did not cry. Instead, he stared at Xu Yi with wide eyes, then let out a crisp laugh, and stretched out his little arms to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi couldn't help but feel happy and reached out to carry him over.
"It seems that he knows very well who his father is."
"As soon as our elves are born, we can have a special sense of everything in the surrounding nature, and can easily sense the breath of closeness from the people around us. Perhaps he has inherited this and then recognized that you have the same breath as him." Elder Lisanya said.
"Oh? That's really good."
After teasing the child for a while, Xu Yi handed him to Yanis and hugged him, turned to look at Elder Ellisia and Elder Lisanya.
The two elders looked at each other, nodded in unison, and signaled Xu Yi to follow.
The three of them came to a tree house next to the Moon Well and sat down. They did not let other elves follow in.
"President Xu. I guess you already know everything about this child's arrangement, right?" After the three of them sat down, Elder Lisanya spoke.
"I know, but... I don't agree with this arrangement." Xu Yi said in a deep voice.
"Why?" said Elder Lisanya in surprise.
"Because he is my child, of course he has to live with me. If you leave him to grow up in your elves tribe, wouldn't I be too irresponsible?"
"It doesn't matter." Elder Ellihia said. "Although the child will grow up in our tribe in the future, it is not far from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. If you want to see him, you can come at any time. I think it should not affect anything."
"I said that. He is my child and must live with me. In addition, Yanis is my wife now and should live with me for a long time."
Xu Yi paused and continued, "You told me before that Yanis's body needs conditioning, but I don't know much about the physical condition of the elves, so I gave her to you. But I didn't expect that you didn't see her for a whole year and a half. I was very dissatisfied with this, so I wouldn't hand it over to you anyway."
Seeing Xu Yi's serious look, Elder Erxia and Elder Lisanya couldn't help but frown.
They and Xu Yi have known each other for quite a while and have been in contact with each other more times. Of course, they understand that Xu Yi is rarely going to show such a look, but once he shows such a look, it means that he has made up his mind and it is difficult to change.
After pondering for a while, Elder Lisanya said in a deep voice: "President Xu, I think you should be very clear about why we arranged this way. This is a thing that is beneficial to both of us, so why should you be so stubborn?"
"It is beneficial to both sides, but it is not good for this child and Yanis, so I cannot accept it." Xu Yi still had a calm face. "Elder Lisanya, Elder Erucia, of course I understand that the purpose of your arrangement is nothing more than the hope that this child can strengthen the connection between us humans and your elves in this aspect, so as to facilitate in-depth cooperation between the two parties in the future, right?"
"That's right. This child represents the first step in the integration of our elves and you humans, and we must pay attention to it." Elder Risanya said seriously.
"But attention does not require you to keep him in your elf tribe, right?" Xu Yi asked back. "In fact... Elder Lisanya, you have too little confidence in your elf tribe, and even more unconfidence in us humans. Have you not discovered that after years of contact with each other, at least the elves of your two tribes have merged very smoothly with us humans?"
Elder Lisanya and Ellihia looked at each other, fell into silence, thought for a while, and nodded slightly.
"Well, I must admit that at least in the Principality of Stantin, the Kingdom of Lampari, the Kingdom of Rulson and the surrounding countries, humans and our elves have become very harmonious and there is not much barrier."
"Do you know why?" Xu Yi asked again.
"Why? Maybe it's because they're all used to it."
"This is part of the reason, but it is not the most important." Xu Yi turned to look at Elder Elucia. "Elder Elucia, do you remember what I said to you at the beginning? I said that we humans are actually a race that values interests very much. As long as the other party can bring benefits to us, no matter what race the other party is, there is actually no difference."
"Well, you did say that." Elder Erucia nodded."
"You see, the current situation has perfectly reflected this. The most important reason why humans in these countries can get along well with the elves of your two tribes is that you can bring them benefits and benefits. To give the simplest and most direct example, that is fertilizer. Elder Lisanya, relying solely on fertilizer, your Yueying tribe is enough to gain a foothold in the human world."
Elder Lisanya was silent for a moment and nodded.
"President Xu said it well. With fertilizers, we can even establish connections with the Marlow Empire, the Kander Empire and even further away human countries. When discussing fertilizer-related matters, these humans have never looked at each other because we are the elves."
Speaking of this, Elder Lisanya glanced at Xu Yi and raised a slightly mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.
"So when we talked about business with those cunning human businessmen, we suffered a lot of losses..."
"It's not my business." Xu Yi spread his hands. "Anyway, what I mean is that as long as you elves can reflect their own value, you need to worry about getting along with humans. Even without fertilizers, there is also the plastic industry of the Night Song tribe, the landscaping industry that you cooperate with Amley Chamber of Commerce, and the natural beauty series that you cooperate with the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, etc. With these unique things, you don't need to rely on a baby to maintain the connection with humans."
The two elders were silent for a while, and Elder Ellihia sighed and said, "President Xu, don't you understand until now? The reason why we need this child is simply that we hope to maintain a good relationship with you." (To be continued...)
