Xiao Ye was somewhat surprised.
The nine Elf Elders had no objections; this was the result they had deliberated on in their meeting.
They did not fear Xiao Ye but the supreme being behind him.
At that time, all the elves were restrained, unable to move their bodies, or even project their spiritual power, yet their minds remained clear, and they could still see the outside world.
They knew that this human youth, Xiao Ye, had a deep connection with that human supreme being.
The Elf King took out a storage ring and said in human speech:
"Our Elf Clan will offer up one ton of Essence and ten tons of Crystal Stones every month, nearly one-third of our clan's monthly production. I hope our young friend won't find it too little."
"May I ask for your honored surname, young friend?"
"My name is Xiao, Xiao Ye!" Not one to hit a smiling face, Xiao Ye straightforwardly accepted the storage ring since he was able to obtain Crystal Stones and Essence so effortlessly, "I accept your terms."
