Chapter 578 What's wrong with my ears?

"Since you are not His Majesty the Emperor, then come and pay homage to your new king!"

After speaking coldly, Elf Queen Nelia stood arrogantly in front of Qin Mo, waiting for his worship!

Looking at Nelia's delicate chin tilted at a 45-degree angle, Qin Mo felt an urge to punch her.

He wasn't afraid of losing to Nelia; Hazel and little Shia were watching him nervously from the sidelines. It would be strange if the three of them ganged up on her and she was beaten to death!

"Ahem! This... Nelia...cousin, I am a prince of the Great Xia Empire, and you are...a king, so we don't need to bow to each other anymore!"

Nelia's eyebrows shot up, and she said sternly to Qin Mo, "Now that you have the blood of our royal family, you are one of our people. According to the laws of the Elven race, those who disrespect the royal court are traitors. Are you sure you want to be a traitor to the Elven race?"

Qin Mo looked at her "cousin" in surprise. She had just met her and she had already put such a big label on her. If she really had to submit to her, what would happen? Besides, she didn't even know if they were really related! There was no DNA testing equipment in this world.

"I must ask this: what rights and obligations do I have after submitting to the royal court?" Qin Mo looked at Nelia's confused expression and rephrased, "What will I gain? And what will I have to give up?"

Nelia's gaze hardened. She had never seen an elf dare to bargain with her before. She said in an unquestionable tone, "The royal court will protect its people and bestow upon them unparalleled honor and glory. The royal court's expenses will be provided by the various tribes and clans. All the wealth and subordinates of the people must be at the command and distribution of the chieftain!"

As soon as Nelia finished speaking, little Shia next to her couldn't sit still anymore. She started rolling up her sleeves, revealing her slender arms and little fists, and assumed a posture ready to intervene with force.

Qin Mo waved her hand to stop the agitated Xiao Xi Ya, and asked again, "Then which clan do I belong to? And who is the clan leader?"

"You are naturally a member of our Silver Moon Clan, and I am the current clan leader!"

Qin Mo's mind raced as she carefully analyzed what Nelia had just said, and the more she thought about it, the colder she felt.

"Lady Nelia, how can you prove that you are the chieftain of the Silvermoon Clan, and how can you prove that you are the Elf King?"

Qin Mo's tone also turned cold. He had been hesitant at first. He thought that since the emperor was far away, it wouldn't hurt for him to outwardly submit to the royal court. He could just give them some sponsorship money every year, which would be a way to show respect to Luna's cheap mother. But now it seemed that it was not like that at all. This was a rich man trying to beat him up and make him a proletarian by implementing "common ownership of property"!

No wonder Xiaoxia wanted to make a move earlier. That's how the sea tribe operates. Members can have their own property, but that property nominally belongs to the chief, who can use any excuse to make you penniless again at any time.

If the Elven Royal Court knew how vast the territory and how much wealth the current high-ranking official possessed, would they still need to live in seclusion? They could simply grant Qin Mo an honorary position and sideline him, making it a foregone conclusion that Qin Mo would usurp Qin Mo's power.

When Nelia heard Qin Mo's question, she did not fly into a rage as Qin Mo had expected. Instead, she smiled contemptuously and then extended her hand.

"Only those with the purest royal blood can cultivate such top-tier starlight. In the Silver Moon Clan, only the patriarch's lineage possesses this aptitude. I am a genius in the clan, and I have earned the respect of all my clansmen, and have been elected as the patriarch."

Nelia's face radiated confidence and pride. She stretched out her arms, and a large amount of colorful starlight danced and swirled around her body. In her understanding, as long as one had the bloodline of an elf, one would experience varying degrees of bloodline suppression when encountering this starlight, and even Qin Mo, a half-elf, was no exception.

"As the strongest of the Silvermoon Clan, the elders of the royal court have acknowledged my status as the Elf King, so... submit! My people, I, as the most respected king of the elves, will pardon the flaws in your bloodline, and you will receive the same revered status as other royals... Uh!... How could this be?"

Qin Mo also extended her palm, just like Nelia, and a ball of colorful starlight danced and swayed in her hand. The dazzling light was no less than Nelia's starlight, and even Nelia's bloodline trembled slightly.

"What did you just say? There's a flaw in my bloodline...? A flaw my ass!"

Qin Mo was furious. Seeing Nelia's arrogant demeanor, he felt indignant and unleashed his own multicolored starlight. Then he heard Nelia say her final words: "I pardon the flaw in your bloodline and grant you the same revered status as other royalty..."

They called me a bastard one minute, and then gave me this bullshit "equal status and treatment" the next. Who cares about that?

“My sister… I don’t have a sister, how could you have five-colored starlight? This is impossible… You don’t even have elven ears…” Nelia didn’t understand the meaning of the phrase “your sister,” but she did understand the meaning of the five-colored starlight on Qin Mo.

Qin Mo's anger erupted completely. A sky full of multicolored starlight enveloped the entire tent, and a dazzling, multicolored star spiral appeared in mid-air. Countless stars and planets, some bright and some dim, slowly revolved around the center of the spiral, their light filtering through the vortex. And the center of the spiral corresponded to... Qin Mo.

"What's wrong with my ears? What... is... wrong with my ears?"

Qin Mo roared angrily at Nelia, who was already bewildered by the colorful starlight. She stared blankly at the star vortex in the sky, feeling the pure power of the stars, and only looked at Qin Mo again after a long time.
