I really don't want to date a girl addicted to the internet!

"At least give me an explanation!" the boy retorted, responding with the same shout.

"Because you are human!" the elven girl said, flipping her hand upwards.

"So, in this world, humans and elves are irreconcilable enemies?" The boy swung his sword down.

"Is there even a need to ask? You hypocrite!" the elven girl shouted, her anger rising inexplicably.

"Then why not kill them both?"

"The one who's wrong is humans like you! Why would I attack a half-elf?"

The two spoke while they were locked in a fierce battle.

"Could I not be a half-elf?"

"What kind of male half-elf has round ears?!"

"Aren't they just round-eared?"

"They are women!"

"How do you know they aren't human females?"

"How could a human female have hair that color!"

"Ah, it's sex-linked inheritance..."

"Never heard of genetics! Where did you come from, you weirdo?"

"Actually, I'm from another world, so please stop!"

"What other world? Are you an idiot?!"

"Are you the idiot? You big-breasted, brainless elf swordsman, can you pause for a second?!"

"Don't even think about it, you cunning humans!"

Shen Xi watched the two argue and fight from the sidelines, her face indifferent.

"Shen Xi, are we really not going to help?" Nagasaki Asuna stood to the side with her hands behind her back.

"Even if you're a fox spirit, please have some basic human decency. Since he likes that elf, let him like her to his heart's content," Shen Xi said with obvious disgust.

"Actually, Cheng Fei was just joking with you, right?"

"Shut up, you don't need to defend him."

“Alright.” Nagasaki Asuna gave up arguing.

The battle between Cheng Fei and the elf girl ended when the elf girl's greatsword's enchantment dissipated, and it was cut in half by Cheng Fei's sword.

The broken sword spun and plunged into the grass. The elven girl stared blankly at the broken sword in her hand, her legs buckled, and she knelt down.

Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna then moved over.

"Surrender, and if you come with us honestly, we won't hurt you." Shen Xi looked down at the elven girl, her tone devoid of emotion.

"Teacher Shen, you're too good at picking the peaches; she's my captive."

"So what do you want to do with her? Tell me your thoughts, Cheng Fei." Shen Xi looked at him with a calm gaze that seemed to be brewing a storm.

“Of course, we’ll hand it over to Her Majesty the Empress for questioning.” The young man’s expression hardened.

The distraught elf girl slowly raised her head.

……

The four people were moved to a safe place.

"Kill me." The elven girl sat on the ground, hugging her knees, her gaze unfocused.

"You've repeated that sentence twenty-three times. Can't you say something else? It didn't do anything to you, did it?" Cheng Fei shrugged.

"You counted very accurately." Shen Xi sneered.

"Teacher Shen, my little jealous king of East Asia."

"Shut up." Shen Xi's eyes narrowed.

309. Shen Xi is very cruel.

“We really meant no harm, so why won’t you believe us?” Nagasaki Asuna crouched down, observing the elf girl’s empty eyes.

"What does it matter whether you believe it or not? There's nothing to talk about with you." The elven girl turned her face away, giving off a feeling of preferring death to submission.

“Actually, we have a lot to talk about, for example… Teacher Shen, why don’t you do the talking?” Cheng Fei squatted down and had just started to speak when he suddenly shivered and stood to the side, gesturing for him to speak.

Shen Xi knelt down in front of the elven girl in his place and said coldly, "First question, what's your name?"

The elven girl lowered her head and remained silent.

"My second question is, who are you, and who arrested you?"

He remained silent with his head down.

"The third question is, where is this place?"

He remained silent with his head down.

"Fine, Cheng Fei, I order you to kill her." Shen Xi remained silent for a moment, then stood up.

"Huh?" Nagasaki Asuna was stunned.

Cheng Fei was also surprised, "Teacher Shen, I didn't expect you to be so cold-blooded. Could it be that I'll be stabbed to death in bed by you someday?"

"Shut up. Can't you see she hates humans? In that case, from a human perspective, it's better to kill her. Besides, if you really end up being stabbed to death by me one day, you'll deserve it."

"No, no, no, I think you just don't like her, right? There's obviously a reason why she hates humans. By the way, if I die, will you take my ashes home?"

"So what if she won't say a word? I saw her kill more than a dozen people with my own eyes, so I had no choice but to accept that she had a guilty conscience. If no one claims your ashes, I'll just use them to plant flowers. Are you satisfied now?"

"No matter how you look at it, she's defeated and heartbroken by me. Please don't take revenge on me, my little darling. By the way, if you don't cry while holding my urn every year, I'll make sure you never get a good night's sleep for the rest of your life."

"You're still defending her even though she considers you an enemy. You're hopeless. Also, try bothering me while I'm sleeping. I'll definitely find a way to revive you and then stab you to death again."

"You love me so much that you would try to revive me even if I died, yet you hate me so much that you would stab me to death with your own hands? Teacher Shen, your feelings for me are really twisted."

"Enough with the disgusting nonsense, what are you dawdling for?"

"We've finally found a living person we can question, are we really going to kill him, Teacher Shen?"

"I can't see anything wrong with her. She just tells you to kill someone and you kill them. You don't even dare to kill someone? Coward, or do you really like her?"

"Why don't you kill him? I can give you the sword, then you won't be jealous."

“I don’t want to get my hands dirty. Isn’t this what a servant is supposed to do? Besides, I’m giving you a chance to prove yourself. I’m not jealous.”

"We only agreed on carrying bags, buying water, and running errands. There was no question of helping to kill anyone, right? Even after all this, you still say you're not jealous. It seems your toughest thing is your mouth."

"Heh, now that we're in another world, of course we have to adapt to the situation. In this era, human life is worthless, and killing is just a matter of course. Do you think I don't understand? Also, please stop staring at my mouth with that disgusting look."

……

The two talked non-stop, and at first the elven girl didn't care and just quietly awaited her death, until the two argued further and further away. She raised her head in confusion, and finally became blank, "Who...who are you people?"

“We’ve already said we’re just passing through, so can we talk now? While they’re still arguing,” Nagasaki Asuna, who had been standing by the side the whole time, said softly.

"Are you really not from the Empire?" the elven girl asked hesitantly.

"empire?"

"The Holy Dome Empire, you don't know it?"

"You were arrested by Imperials, weren't you? Of course not."

"So you're either from the Iris Federation, or the New Order Alliance from the lower ranks?"

“No, we come from a very, very far place,” Nagasaki Asuna smiled.

Looking into her gentle, healing eyes, the elven girl murmured, "No, aren't you a half-elf? A half-elf couldn't be this strong."

"Strong?" Nagasaki Asuna looked down at her own body, which was completely unrelated to those two words, and chuckled to herself.

“Of course, female half-elves remain in their childhood form throughout their lives. Although they can sense magic, their bodies are extremely fragile and they are kept as weapons by the Empire. But you…” The elven girl looked at Shen Xi, who was engaged in a heated argument with someone and was about to come to blows.

If it were a true half-elf, just arguing with someone like this would leave them breathless.

“I see. We only look like half-elves.” Nagasaki Asuna said thoughtfully, her gaze falling on her pointed ears. “So, you were captured from the homeland of the elves?”

The elven girl clenched her fists. "I was just passing through the imperial airspace when I accidentally exposed my ear in a small town. I was then drugged and offered to the local lord, who then offered me to a high-ranking nobleman. The nobleman then wanted to send me to the capital. If it weren't for my good luck today..."

Asuna Nagasaki covered her mouth. "I see. How pitiful. I have some questions. Could you please tell me them as well?"

……

"I give up, cutie. Let me ask her one last time. If she can't prove she's a good person, I'll kill her, okay? Have you noticed you're starting to reveal the Protoss Queen's cruel nature?"

"Ha, knowing they're not good people but still not making a move, are some people blinded by lust or am I just cruel?"

"Sigh, the real world isn't black and white. Maybe she has her own reasons, my little darling."

"Shut up, enough of your wishful thinking in defending her."

Under the watchful eyes of Nagasaki Asuna and the elf girl, the two who had been arguing for a long time returned.

“Gentlemen, she’s already willing to talk, so why don’t you put your weapons away?” Nagasaki Asuna said.

"Ah? That's great, Teacher Shen. Look, this is the true value of Nana's achievement." Cheng Fei was taken aback, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Xi remained cold, "It's not enough to just talk about it; I need to know how this world works."

"Don't worry, she's already told me everything she knows," Nagasaki Asuna said nonchalantly.

Next, the four of them had a discussion.

"You mean, there's a World Tree at the center of this world, elves live in its canopy, and there are many floating continents around the World Tree, with human nations on the upper and lower continents at war?" Cheng Fei gestured on the ground with a twig.

The elven girl nodded silently.

"Okay, then where is the Protoss Queen's territory?" The boy clapped his hands.

"What... an empress?" The elven girl looked blank.

Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna watched from the sidelines.

"Do you know who repaired those ruins in the wild?" the boy gestured.

"Ancient ruins? I don't know, those have existed for thousands of years." The elven girl shook her head.

Upon hearing this, the boy suddenly turned his head and asked, "Teacher Shen, so you lied to me?"

"What's gotten into you all of a sudden?" Shen Xi frowned slightly.

"So you're not a sixteen-year-old pretty high school girl after all, you're a... several thousand-year-old woman?"

310. The three players save their game.

Shen Xi took a deep breath, her eyes becoming vacant. "Cheng Fei, I'll give you one more chance."

"You're joking, Princess. The past is the past, and the present is the present. Now you are the most beautiful high school girl in Academy City."

"Why is she both an empress and a princess... who exactly is she?" The elven girl observed Shen Xi.

“Don’t mind them, those nicknames are just the two of them flirting,” Nagasaki Asuna smiled.

“Nana, that’s a bit disloyal of you. The princess was indeed flirting, but the empress is the real identity.”

"Okay~" Nagasaki Asuna replied in a soft and perfunctory tone.

Shen Xi's look of disgust was palpable.

"Then let me ask you," Cheng Fei squatted down in front of the elven girl, "Where is the largest ancient ruin in this world?"

"The biggest?" The elven girl's eyes widened slightly, her gaze shifting for a moment. "I don't know, ancient ruins are everywhere."

"Is it on the World Tree?" Asuna Nagasaki asked, staring at her.
