But her trembling voice betrayed her. The frantic memories of last night flashed back in her mind—how Lin Yuan had pressed her against the sacred tree totem, using his spiritual power to penetrate her depths inch by inch until she collapsed and sobbed for mercy.

Lin Yuan chuckled softly, a dangerous glint flashing in his purple-gold pupils. "It seems the elder is looking forward to it?"

He deliberately slowed down his pace, slid his fingertips down Noel's lower back, and gently pressed on her sensitive tailbone.

"Oooooh...!" Noel bit his lower lip hard and almost cried out.

She glared at Lin Yuan in embarrassment, but he looked playful, as if he had already seen through her feigned composure.

The two of them quickly arrived at the rift in the barrier.

A huge sealing stone pillar stood at the edge of the forest, its surface engraved with ancient elven runes, but now it was dim and lifeless.

"The situation is more serious than I imagined." Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes, his expression finally becoming serious.

Noel suppressed the discomfort in his body and quickly formed a seal: "We must strengthen the seal immediately, otherwise the dark elves' demonic energy will erode the entire forest."

Lin Yuan nodded, and emerald spiritual energy condensed in his palm, and a seal several times more powerful than before rose from the ground.

"Okay, done!"

Lin Yuan clapped his hands in boredom.

Ignoring Noel, who was dazed beside him, he said, "Let's go. Is there anything else that needs to be reinforced?"

"East... east..."

Noel replied dully: "Worker..."

Chapter 185: Evelyn

When they arrived at the ancient tree barrier in the east,

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a fierce fight coming from the bushes.

"Let me go! You filthy goblins!"

An angry and cold female voice came.

Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows and pushed aside the bushes.

A dark elf girl was trapped in front of a tree by three malicious goblins.

Her long white hair was scattered in disorder, and her pale golden eyes were full of despair.

"Someone...someone come and save me!"

The girl wailed in despair with a sobbing tone.

"Oh? Dark elf?"

Lin Yuan raised his lips with interest.

There was a flicker of interest in his eyes.

"Mind your own business!"

Noel immediately grabbed his wrist, his dark green eyes full of vigilance.

"The Dark Elves and us Forest Elves are mortal enemies. They are treacherous and cunning, not worth saving!"

However, Lin Yuan had already stepped forward.

A ray of emerald spiritual power gathered at the fingertips, and with a light flick!

"puff!"

The three goblin heads exploded instantly, and blood splattered all over the dark elf girl.

She was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and hid behind Lin Yuan.

"Thank you, thank you..."

Evelyn's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum.

The dark golden eyes were filled with mist,

There was still goblin blood on her fair cheek, which made her look even more pitiful.

Noel snorted coldly, crossed his arms and sneered, "Why are you pretending to be weak?"

"Dark elf assassins love to use this trick to get close to their targets."

Evelyn shrank back, but still stubbornly grasped Lin Yuan's sleeve.

Whispering in defense: "I, I'm not an assassin... I just got lost..."

Her voice got lower and lower, and finally she almost choked with sobs.

"Please... don't leave me..."

Lin Yuan looked down at her.

The girl has obvious dark elf features, brown skin, and pointed ears.

But her eyes were too pure to be like a dark elf's, instead they looked like a frightened little animal.

"Name? 'Five-Thirty'"

He suddenly spoke.

"E-Evelyn..."

She answered timidly, and then added eagerly,

"I, I can help you do anything! As long as you let me follow you..."

Noel scoffed. "Anything? Just because you look so vulnerable?"

Evelyn bit her lip, and suddenly mustered up the courage to look up: "I, I can do healing magic! And..."

Her face flushed instantly, and she whispered, "I, I... I can... serve you..."

"Follow me."

He turned around lazily, but added another sentence at the moment when Evelin was delighted.

"But if you dare to play tricks..."

His fingertips gently brushed across her neck, bringing with them a trace of cold spiritual power.

"I will make you suffer worse than if you fell into the hands of a goblin."

Evelyn shuddered, but nodded vigorously: "I, I will never betray you!"

Noel stamped his feet in anger. "Lin Yuan! Are you crazy? Bringing a dark elf to repair the barrier?"

Lin Yuan had already put his arm around Evelin's waist, pulling her into his arms. He lowered his head and chuckled softly in her ear, "What are you afraid of? You're watching over me anyway."

His fingers caressed Evelyn's waist in an ambiguous way.

Feeling her body stiffen instantly,

"Besides...it's nice to have a backup energy source, isn't it?"

Knowing Lin Yuan's intention, Noel's face darkened instantly. He angrily said, "There are so many elves in the village you can choose from, why are you helping a dark elf?"

Lin Yuan shrugged and smiled, "Maybe the rarer it is, the more precious it is."

Evelyn blushed and huddled in Lin Yuan's arms, secretly looking up at him.

His eyes were full of admiration and dependence.

As for why Lin Yuan was so arbitrary and wanted to take Evelin away,

The reason is simple, because Evelyn is also one of the characters in the original novel.

【Name: Evelyn】

[Type: One of the few friendly animals in the Dark Elves clan. Absolutely loyal to their chosen benefactor.]

......

Although Noel was very reluctant,

However, at Lin Yuan's request,

I still took Evelyn with me to complete the next step of reinforcing the seal.

And with Lin Yuan here, the seal was quickly completed.

Even with Lin Yuan's reinforcement, the protection effect has been further improved.

Then Lin Yuan and Noel brought Evelyn back to the village.

Along the way, the elves looked at the dark elf girl with vigilance and hostility.

Whispers clung to Evelyn like thorns.

She lowered her head, her long white hair covering half of her face.

Her fingertips unconsciously twisted the corner of Lin Yuan's clothes.

"Master Shenshu actually brought back the dark elves..."

"Those who have turned their backs on nature..."

The sound of small discussions drifted from the tree house.

A few young elves even threw a few acorns at her.

Evelin's shoulders shrank, but she still followed Lin Yuan half a step behind.

Nuoer knew Lin Yuan's attitude. She suddenly stopped, looked around, and cleared her throat.

"All forest elves, listen up!"

She slammed her staff against the ground, sending emerald ripples throughout the village.

She looked at Evelyn and said loudly: "This guest: Evelyn! Protected by the sacred tree!"

"Within the boundary, you enjoy the same rights as your tribe members."

The elves cried out in disbelief,

But the priest's majesty forced them to bow their heads.

Evelyn opened her eyes wide in surprise, unable to believe that Noel would actually speak for her.

However, when Noel turned around, he mouthed something to her:

"If you dare to do something bad, I will kill you with my own hands."

"Don't worry, even if she really did something, I won't protect her."

"but......"

Lin Yuan watched the two elves' clamor with interest, and suddenly put his arm around Noel's waist. "Noel, I can smell your jealousy from this distance."

Before Noel could explode, he lowered his head and bit Evelyn's pointed ear. "As for you... you came to my room tonight. It's time to collect the asylum fee."

Evelin's ears instantly became red with blood.

She stole a glance at Noel's gloomy expression.

But she mustered up the courage to stand on tiptoe and whisper in Lin Yuan's ear: "I, I will be ready..."

Night,

In Lin Yuan's room,

Evelyn was anxiously waiting for Lin Yuan to come back.

The moonlight filtered through the tree house curtains, casting tiny spots of light on her pale skin.

She knelt on the edge of the bed,

Her fingertips nervously tugged at the hem of her skirt, glancing towards the door from time to time.
