Little Pink Starfish

Alright, actually, this was the protagonist’s ancestor.

In the original novel, it was once mentioned that the protagonist’s background was that he was the son of a noble earl’s household. And the earl’s title was passed down generation after generation, originally granted three hundred years ago to a certain legendary ancestor figure for making great contributions to the empire—that legendary figure, it was said, was a greatsword master.

Don’t think a greatsword master is just some ordinary ranking. You should know that this world only has magic and battle energy, and those who learn battle energy usually use greatswords, and the hierarchy for sword users is swordsman, sword master, greatsword master, sword saint, grand sword saint. Among them, swordsmen are divided into nine levels, sword masters after that are divided into low, mid, high. Seeing the title of greatsword master, if we were to calculate by real power levels, it would at least be Level 13. Already belongs to the realm of experts, going even further to sword saint, that’s not something just anyone can do.

So calculating the time, that ancestor who was granted the earl title—could it be exactly this Arthur Langxi right before him? Moreover, this guy’s strength now was already at greatsword master!

Even though, just a beginner greatsword master…

Looking at his age again, seemed about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, really could be called young and promising.

BUT!
What Gu Bai couldn’t understand was—why did this ancestor of the protagonist look like he had fiery BL chemistry with the man—yes, emphasis on “man”—elf beside him?

This is a harem novel, okay!
Not doing BL, okay!
↓

Of course, this wasn’t the most shocking thing to Gu Bai.
What shocked him the most was… well, still the issue of the elf’s gender.

Here, we must again talk about the protagonist’s background and part of the original plot.
That part of the plot was naturally the protagonist successfully entering the Elven Forest, deceiving the pure Elven Queen, and being recognized by the Elf Mother Tree.

This was indeed the protagonist’s golden finger, pa if he were just an ordinary human, what virtue or ability could he have to be acknowledged by the Elf Mother Tree!

Therefore, to make the golden finger plausible, the protagonist’s bloodline had a slight issue.
In his blood, there was elven blood.
And his ancestor, was the one who had that bloodline…

So, seeing this far, everyone should understand.
The shocking thing to Gu Bai was!
Damn it, this male elf! How the hell was he supposed to hook up with the protagonist’s ancestor and have a child, and then pass down the elven bloodline generation after generation until the male lead was born!

Even if he had just struggled free from a bizarre world where even men could give birth, that didn’t mean in this normal Western fantasy world, men could give birth, okay!

So here comes the question.
Is this male elf the one who once bore a child for the protagonist’s ancestor?

Second question.
If so, then is this male elf’s existence the butterfly effect caused by Gu Bai’s transmigration and gender-swap?

Third question.
If it’s the butterfly effect, then what the hell about the protagonist… can he still be born smoothly?!

This is basically, about to choke the protagonist’s origin at the source kind of thing…

Gu Bai was speechless with tears in his eyes.
If the protagonist didn’t exist.
Could this world still exist… if it could, would the world’s will go berserk?

All these thoughts completed in a flash.

Gu Bai, face paralyzed, nodded at Arthur Langxi, then looked at the Lanniel he was carrying: “Comfortable?”

Before Lanniel could react at all, the protagonist’s ancestor Arthur had already put down the Lanniel hanging from under his arm like tossing off dirty laundry—placed him upright.

Arthur was bitter inside.
His elf bro’s body was way too weak. When they trekked mountains and roamed the land, he always had to carry him. Their relationship was a little weird.
Pa today, his elf bro’s clansmen suddenly appeared, and this situation was really complicated!
So awkward oh dear.

Lanniel stood on the ground, face still wearing a grieving expression: “Comfortable.”
Gu Bai: Still have no shame? Are you an elf? Were you not educated by that dead pervert, how did you already grow up like this?

Arthur got even more awkward, tugging on his elf bro’s sleeve: “Lanniel…”

Lanniel sighed faintly.
His sissiness level instantly went up a notch.

Gu Bai was also 囧囧 toward this kind of totally sissy elf, but right now he still had something to say: “Come back with me to the clan.”

Lanniel: “Don’t wanna, I want to stay with Arthur.”

Gu Bai took a deep breath: “…speak properly.”
Ah ah ah can this sissy let me just punch him in the face already!

At this moment, Qiguan Rui smiled gently: “If His Majesty said so, then you should obey. Lanniel, you’re a sensible elf, you know what’s the right thing to do, right?”

His voice was also extremely soft, like a breeze brushing over a spring.

Pa the danger hidden in that voice, was immediately caught by Lanniel.

Lanniel stiffened.
He looked at Qiguan Rui.
This young man…
Was very dangerous, very scary!

Yes, Lanniel also felt very unlucky. He had just been feeling a bit annoyed recently because Arthur seemed like he wanted to find a girl and start a family, so he had been sulking. That’s why when he was found by the slavers, he acted like he had no power and let himself get caught. In fact, how could he, an elf over 2000 years old, be controlled by such tiny chains? If it weren’t for wanting to pull all of Arthur’s attention back to him, if it weren’t for waiting for Arthur to come save him, if it weren’t for wanting to test how important he was to Arthur, he could’ve escaped the auction at any time, and casually cast a few high-level spells to wreck the place.

Pa but Arthur really did come and save him like he wanted, and truly rescued him. He was just about to find a chance to pledge his heart and body, when what the hell—elves from the Elven Forest found him?

If it were just that, fine, pa the ones who came weren’t normal elves at all!

That brow pattern!

That peerless beauty!

Even after so many years, he still recognized that taller adult elf—that was obviously the Elven Queen!

And the other one, not yet adult but very dangerous, should be a newly born royal from the last few hundred years…

One royal elf was scary enough.
But there were two.

Damn it, an elf’s power is closely related to their bloodline and age, you have mu you, the Elven Queen was thousands of years old, older than even him!
He definitely couldn’t beat her ah…

On the other side, Arthur also felt the danger, but he was still a carefree guy, didn’t even know where the danger was coming from, just instinctively stepped half a step forward to shield his elf bro.

Lanniel: So touched TAT totally don’t want to give him up TAT

Pa what to do now?
Even the Queen is here! How can he still be with Arthur now!
And most importantly, he can’t spill the truth—if Arthur finds out even a little, it’s all over… Arthur currently still likes girls, after all.

Lanniel’s attitude became a lot more proper, not sissy like before: “Your Majesty, Arthur and I already agreed to adventure together, so I don’t want to return to the clan. Please allow it.”

Arthur suddenly realized and immediately looked at Gu Bai.
Your Majesty?
This was the Elven King?
Woc! A real live Elven King!

Gu Bai: “Out here, you’ll get caught.”

Lanniel’s smile froze.
What could he say…
The truth obviously couldn’t be told directly to Arthur.

#So-called picking up a rock and smashing your own foot#

The situation instantly entered a stalemate.
Lanniel wanted to leave, and Gu Bai who wanted to take Lanniel away to prevent him from doing BL with Arthur which would make it impossible for the protagonist to be born—both sides had firm resolve.

Qiguan Rui didn’t like it when his beloved gege wasn’t obeyed.

The corners of his mouth curved, and deep in his eyes, there was only coldness. The way he looked at Lanniel also changed, like looking at a dead person.

Lanniel only felt like he was being stared at by a venomous snake, his whole body chilled, cold sweat forming on his back.
Why was this young royal elf so terrifying!

In comparison, the icy-faced Elven Queen instead seemed gentle.

This… this feeling wasn’t right…

Gu Bai paused.
Woc, the damn pervert is about to go crazy!

In that instant, Gu Bai suddenly had a brilliant idea.
The current situation was just a male elf trying to do BL with the protagonist’s ancestor, and the ancestor himself seemed kind of straight but not entirely sure, right? The male elf not wanting to leave was the issue! Pa then just don’t make him leave! As the Elven King, he’d just take Arthur back to the Elven Forest! There, so many peerless beautiful elf girls, guaranteed to make that rookie dizzy with love! As long as Arthur locks eyes with one of them, the two go pa pa and the elf girl has a child—then the plot flows again, and the protagonist can be born three hundred years later!

Gu Bai couldn’t help but give himself ten thousand likes.

#I have a special skill for saving the world#

That’s right, Gu Bai was once again going to become the male elf who saves the world!
Even simpler than last time you have mu you!
Last time he had to sacrifice himself to a pervert, this time he just needed to hold a massive matchmaking event inside the elf race, that’s all!

He really felt his plan was perfect!

Once he figured it out, Gu Bai’s aura calmed a bit.
At the same time, Qiguan Rui’s pervert level also dropped… yep, he was the kind of pervert who’s “If gege is good, I’m good. If gege is not, I’ll destroy the world.”

So, Gu Bai proposed: “You two come with me to inspect the territory.”
Lanniel and Arthur: “?”

Gu Bai: “Afterward, Arthur can visit the clan.”

Lanniel: “!!!!!!!”
Woc aren’t humans not allowed into the elf race what’s with this sudden rule change I had no idea!
Is there some conspiracy going on or what!
Also, who changed the rules in the first place…

Arthur had already joyfully spoken up: “Really? That’s great! I’ve always looked forward to seeing the elf race, just didn’t want to disturb you guys. Now that I’ve got His Majesty’s permission, I’m really so happy!”

Gu Bai nodded modestly: “Welcome.”
Lanniel’s heart trembled: If Arthur is happy then…

The pitiful male elf, completely unaware of the Elven King’s plot! 【and pa
