Chapter: Chapter 458
Compared to Bai Ling, who ate like a whirlwind, the other three girls at the same table with her ate more reservedly.
Ling Long and Yin Ya were both pure-bred beastmen and their eating manners weren’t the best, but compared to Bai Ling, they still had an advantage.
As for Lethicia… this girl could switch between the states of a cool, aloof young lady and a silly girl. Today, she had switched to the cool, aloof young lady form.
Even though she was eating the most common roasted meat among beastmen, she ate it as if it were a rare delicacy. Watching her elegant movements, which were devoid of any excess, made Ling Long and Yin Ya exclaim in surprise, realizing that one could eat like that.
It was practically an art form!
“Why are you looking at me? Keep eating.” After finishing a portion of roasted meat, Lethicia noticed that the two girls beside her had stopped eating and were staring at her intently, which confused her.
Although she was confident in her appearance, they had been together for so long that her face shouldn’t be more attractive than the fragrant roasted meat.
Look at Bai Ling, she only focused on eating. Even if I were to strip naked and dance passionately in front of her, she wouldn’t even look up. This is the true “rice-eater,” an elite among rice-eaters!
The fact that Ling Long and Yin Ya were attracted to her attention meant their level was still too low.
“We’re just surprised by your eating posture, Lethicia. It’s too elegant… Is this a dining habit passed down from the elves?” Ling Long, who was slightly more cheerful than Yin Ya, voiced her thoughts.
When it came to elegance, almost everyone’s first thought went to those long-eared beings living in the forest, and they themselves indeed advertised as such.
“The most elegant race,” this was how the elves described themselves.
“No, this is actually… the rules of our demon race are much more tedious and complicated,” Lethicia shook her head. She had simply used the dining etiquette she had learned before.
The demons didn’t really care about such things. It was only during large gatherings that they paid attention to such matters. The number of times Lethicia could use this skill was limited, counting on her fingers, it seemed to be only six or seven times.
Who would deliberately make themselves uncomfortable by eating like that in daily life? Lethicia usually ate alone or with her sister. Such flashy things were completely unnecessary.
If her sister were to perform such elegant actions while eating one day, Lethicia’s first reaction would be to wonder if Kira had gotten into trouble again.
Compared to demons, elves were completely different. Those long-eared beings had a lot of rules in every aspect. Elegance was as if engraved in their bones. Not being elegant was as if it would cost them their lives.
The demons had captured quite a few elves back then, and those with higher status among the captives would almost always find a way to commit suicide within a short period. The reason was quite ridiculous: they felt that the demons disrespected them, the noble elves.
After learning this reason, Lethicia almost burst into laughter. They were prisoners and still considered themselves noble. It was already a great mercy that they weren’t turned into goods, and they still wanted preferential treatment.
It was better that they ended themselves; not having to provide an extra meal was also a way to save money.
“Learn from anyone, just don’t learn from the elves. Those guys’ brains are made of wood; they have no flexibility at all,” Lethicia said, baring her teeth and complaining about the long-eared beings.
Ling Long and Yin Ya both pricked up their ears. They had never seen elves before and were full of curiosity for these enemies of the beastmen. Now that Lethicia was talking about elves, they were immediately captivated.
“They are almost polar opposites of the beastmen. There are quite a few beastmen who use their brains, such as fox beastmen and wolf beastmen. They like to think, but sometimes they are limited by their hardware and can’t come up with good ideas. This is really not the fault of the beastmen.”
“But elves are different. Their average intelligence is actually the highest among the four races, but this intelligence is used in the wrong way, so their development is only slightly better than that of the beastmen… Oh, it can even be said that they are neck and neck. If they were to fight, those elegant long-eared beings might not be able to defeat the rude beastmen.”
Shaking her head, sighing, the Demon Empress mused this, as the undisputed strongest race among the four.
Elves are smart and good-looking, but they also have a very serious problem: their fertility rate is very low. If the beastmen have ten children, the elves might not even be pregnant with a single child.
With such an exponential gap in reproductive capacity, it’s no wonder that the elves’ hardware conditions are so high.
Among the four major races, elves are uniquely talented. Their physical fitness and magical talents are generally higher than other races. For this advantage, they have paid a great price.
Humans, demons, and beastmen have basically the same base stats, with only slight differences in how they are allocated. For example, humans have invested in superpowers and technology, demons have invested in magic, and beastmen have invested in their bodies.
Elves, on the other hand, have invested in both magic and their bodies, and also in longevity. This has caused problems. To balance their outstanding talents, elves have always had severe fertility difficulties.
This was also the reason why the elves were very brave at the beginning of the Four Races War, but as the war progressed, they began to lose their momentum. Elves are truly killed one by one, unlike the other three races who can afford to lose people.
In terms of the number of top powerhouses in their race, elves do not have a disadvantage, but their top powerhouses cannot die. Within a few hundred years of their death, another top powerhouse cannot emerge to fill the vacancy.
The other three races do not have this problem. As long as they are not severely injured and wiped out all at once, as long as they can delay for some time, fresh blood will always be replenished, with humans having the greatest advantage.
Superpowers are truly unreasonable. They become incredibly strong after a night’s sleep and are a formidable fighting force after simple training, unlike other races where a genius still needs years of training.
“Really, don’t think those long-eared beings are that great. They are trash, unrecyclable trash!” While getting animated, Lethicia slammed the table forcefully.
The loud bang made Bai Ling, who was still dining, look up at Lethicia with some displeasure. “Then tell me, which of the four races is the strongest?”
“Do I even need to ask? Of course, it’s the Demon race!” Facing this deadly question, Lethicia was not afraid at all. If she were afraid, she wouldn’t be Lethicia.
And what she said was actually not wrong. The beastmen and elves were both suppressed by the demon race back then. Only humans, due to their last-ditch counterattack, became a force that could contend with the demon race.
After years of rapid recovery, humans and demons are now on roughly the same level of strength. If all of humanity’s power were concentrated to go head-to-head with the demon race, the outcome would indeed be uncertain.
Currently, humans are not lacking in high-level combat power at all. Sword Saints and Demon Kings can be exchanged, and the Four Heavenly Kings-level powerhouses can also be roughly matched. As for low-level combat power, humans actually have an advantage.
It’s just a pity that humans are still in a state of great division, with each city acting independently. Even the nominal human capital, Central City, cannot forcibly order other cities to do anything.
The demon race, on the other hand, listens to the same command. The degree of centralization is extremely high. The Demon King’s words are almost never met with opposition, which is a huge advantage when it comes to warfare.
“In conclusion, I think the Demon race is still the strongest among the four races.” Lethicia ended her long speech and then looked at Bai Ling provocatively. She wanted to see what the human Sword Saint would say in the face of her well-reasoned argument.
And Miss Bai’s reaction was very much in her personal style. She knew very well that she was at a disadvantage in a debate, and what Lethicia said was indeed the truth.
So, if reason doesn’t work, just be unreasonable!
“Wait for me tonight.” Leaving behind a harsh threat, Miss Bai lowered her head again and continued her pursuit of food.
She needed to eat more so that she would have more strength to deal with Lethicia tonight. With her mouth so stiff now, the Sword Saint would prove tonight whether humans could dominate the demon race.
“This is boring. If you can’t win, just admit it. Resorting to threats like this is shameless.” Faced with Miss Bai’s obvious threat, Lethicia also felt a little guilty. She felt that her condition today was not very good, and she might really be dominated.
“This is just who I am, Hmph.” While stuffing roasted meat into her mouth, Miss Bai mumbled indistinctly that she was just petty.
Pretty girls have the privilege of being petty. If you’re not happy, report me.
The subtle conflict between the two bosses terrified the other two girls at the dining table. They just wanted to listen to Lethicia chat and brag; they didn’t want to be drawn into this terrifying vortex!
Fortunately, these two bosses wouldn’t actually ‘fight’ at the dining table. After ending their daily exchange of harsh words, Lethicia shifted her attention back to bragging.
“By the way, is there anything else you two want to know? I know a lot, I even know who the Elf Empress’s underground lover is.”
“The Elf Empress? Isn’t she already dead? She was killed by a human Sword Saint with a single sword.” Even though she was in the most remote exile land for beastmen, Ling Long still knew about major past events.
However, that was all she knew.
“I’m talking about the current Elf Empress. After the previous Empress kicked the bucket, someone had to be chosen as the new Empress, just like when a tribal chief dies, a new chief must be chosen.” Lethicia propped up her cheeks, a mysterious smile on her face. “The current Elf Empress is a half-elf. Her father is human, and her mother forced herself on him. Heh heh heh, I heard that the Elf Empress is quite pretty and has a super hot figure.”
“No, actually her figure is just average…” Bai Ling looked up again and added.
She had also met the previous Elf Empress, so she naturally knew that Lethicia’s words were exaggerated in some parts.
However, her face was indeed quite pretty.
“As if you’ve met the Elf Empress.” Lethicia retorted, putting her hands on her hips. She knew that Bai Ling had met the Elf Empress, but did the other girls present know? She didn’t believe Bai Ling would reveal her glorious achievements directly.
“Then have you met her?”
“I’ve seen her portrait!”
“But in the portraits I’ve seen, her figure wasn’t good.”
Watching the two bosses argue about the Elf Empress’s figure, Ling Long and Yin Ya happily started to just watch. They enjoyed this topic.
The secret history of the Elf royal family was very attractive to them, these beastmen.
“None of the Elf royalty had good figures. When our human race communicated with the elves, the exchange delegations had seen portraits of past Elf Kings.” In the end, Miss Bai won the argument about whether the previous Elf Empress’s figure was good or not, because she was telling the truth, while Lethicia was truly talking nonsense. “Besides, they are not mammals, so breasts are completely meaningless things.”
Yes, elves are not mammals. Their children can eat fruit juice from birth, which is similar to breast milk for them.
Therefore, elves should not have bulging chests, but for some unknown reason, some elves do have magnificent mountains.
Not only are they useless, but they also interfere with movement, which is a negative evolution.
“Fine, the Elf Empress’s figure isn’t hot, but she’s very beautiful…” Being unable to argue with Bai Ling on this matter, Lethicia had to change the description of the Elf Empress and then continued to recount Evangeline’s magnificent life.
“…Finally, with the help of the kind Demon King, the young elf found her goal. She promised her lover that one day she would make the entire elf race accept a human empress. Then she bid her lover a reluctant farewell and returned to the elves.”
After listening to the story of the current Elf Empress, Yin Ya was moved to tears. “The Demon King is so kind, the Empress is so brave, and the human singer girl is so happy.”
Only Bai Ling stared at Lethicia, who was looking smug, with dead fish eyes. This story had been so distorted that even she, who had experienced it, couldn’t recognize it. It was a wonder that Lethicia could fabricate it so convincingly.
And “kind Demon King”? Shameless!
Did the Demon King help Evangeline because he was moved by her sincere feelings?
Bullshit!
Lethicia just wanted Evangeline to be her spy to sow discord among the elves!
