Cheng Fei looked at her and asked, "Does 'supernatural life' mean it's made of supernatural matter? What does it actually look like?"

The girl shook her head. "No one knows what they look like. Variable Order exists in a world with a scale more microscopic than elementary particles, even below the Planck length, exceeding the observable limits understood by most civilizations. Even the Protoss didn't truly perceive the existence of Variable Order for a long time before their demise, and could only describe it as a deep-seated mental disturbance based on the phenomenon."

The boy was quite surprised. "So small? That's unbelievably small."

"Um," Nagasaki Asuna raised her hand slightly, "I don't want to interrupt you two, but could you tell me what extramatter is?"

“Well, let me explain.” Cheng Fei coughed and held up a finger. “As we all know, the physical world before us is made up of a series of fundamental particles in nature, such as quarks, electrons, and photons. These fundamental particles are made up of even more microscopic virtual energy. The Protoss call artificially synthesized matter that is not made up of these fundamental particles supermatter.”

"Wow, that's amazing!" The sweet girl clapped her hands gently.

"Ha, he can't remember anything normally, but when he's showing off to that vixen, he can talk a good game. He's such a pretentious and disgusting Cheng Feiyu." Shen Xi stared at the wall, gritting her teeth, her small face filled with a kind of pity and hatred for his misfortune.

"It's all a misunderstanding, Teacher Shen. I just listened to your teachings and then seriously learned about the relevant knowledge. Now I'm familiar with it," the boy said earnestly.

"There will always be an excuse. Enough with the nonsense, let's get back to the point." The girl kicked him impatiently from under the covers.

“Okay, let’s continue.” Cheng Fei lowered his head honestly. “So, the so-called magical robots in the Fallen Lands, whether they’re dragons, treants, or the Protoss rebels, are all controlled by the Order?”

“That’s one way to understand it,” Shen Xi nodded. “Although the mutated entities exist at the microscopic scale where they are difficult to observe, they can disrupt the operation of the macroscopic world through certain means. Whether it is life of various forms or complex intelligent creations, once infected by the mutated entities, they may be manipulated and can never get rid of them.”

"Such terrifying life forms, what exactly is their purpose in conquering the entire universe?" Cheng Fei's eyes lit up as he rubbed his chin.

Shen Xi glanced at him, her brows furrowed, and her face showed undisguised disgust.

"Teacher Shen, what kind of expression is that? Why are you suddenly glaring at me with different sized eyes?"

"I was just about to ask Cheng Feiyu what he meant by that expression of discovering a like-minded goal?" The girl's face showed a look of disbelief.

"I was just thinking about whether we could communicate with them, maybe even cooperate. You see, the variable order entities are on a microscopic scale, while we are in the macroscopic world. There must be some areas where we can complement each other's strengths..." The boy gestured earnestly, as if trying to convince investors to believe his PowerPoint presentation.

"Shut up. Does Cheng Feiyu always beg for mercy when faced with a powerful enemy? Why would such a cowardly creature be born in the universe?" Shen Xi glared at him. "Besides, let's not even talk about whether the Ordered Ones have the intelligence to communicate. Even if they need to cooperate, the Protoss are already the perfect candidate. What's the point of finding another despicable aquatic mammal?"

"Teacher Shen, I was just joking. Can't you play along with my humor?" The boy scratched his head, looking helpless.

"Utterly boring humor." The girl turned her face away, making no attempt to hide her disdain.

Nagasaki Asuna pondered for a moment, then tilted her head. "Um, I think I understand. So, the Variable Order is an enemy that grows stronger with stronger opponents?"

“Cheng Feiyu is not even as good as a fox spirit.” Shen Xidian stared at the wall with her eyebrows slightly furrowed. She paused for a moment, then said, “You could say that although the mutated entities are difficult to destroy, they are highly dependent on the existence of the macroscopic world. In the original magical civilization of the Fallen Land, the mutated entities relied on infiltrating magical robots to fight. Later, they resurrected and modified the dragon race that existed in the ancient times of the Fallen Land. Now, they have created tree spirits that are similar to the World Tree and can use light magic particles in some way.”

"This is really troublesome. No matter how we eliminate the manipulated enemies, as long as civilization exists, the mutated entities will reappear like ghosts," Cheng Fei sighed.

Nagasaki Asuna thought for a moment, "So that's why I said the Corridor absolutely cannot descend to Earth. If the mutated entities are accidentally leaked out, Earth will be doomed too?"

Shen Xi nodded in affirmation, "Fortunately, Avalanche had some humanity and wasn't blinded by greed to make the corridor withdraw from the bystander mode, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"Fortunately, I never expected the Protoss to take action themselves from the beginning, and I've been conquering Earth on my own..." Cheng Fei muttered.

"What nonsense are you spouting again? I've said it before: anyone who dares to hide from me about conquering the Earth might as well die right now." Shen Xi turned her head and glared at him fiercely, then gave him another blow under the covers.

"Tch, what's with the swagger? The Ordered Ones are so dangerous, which means that even if you manage to contact the remaining Protoss fleet one day, you can't possibly summon them to Earth. Your title as Protoss Queen is just an empty shell. I'm no longer afraid of you. I advise you to understand the difference in strength between us and adjust your attitude. Starting tomorrow, I'll be the master and you'll be the servant." Cheng Fei crossed his arms, raised his chin, and snorted coldly.

Shen Xi's pupils contracted slightly as she stared intently at him, her face displaying an indescribable mix of bewilderment and annoyance, like someone whose clothes were accidentally caught in a door and who then discovered a rat swaggering in front of them.

"Cheng Fei, repeat what you just said." The girl took a deep breath, her slender body trembling, her pure, dark eyes losing focus and becoming empty, her cold voice devoid of emotion.

785. Cheng Fei and Shen Xi are exactly the opposite.

A chilling cold, seemingly from nowhere, permeated the room where the three were, making them suspect that the air conditioner was malfunctioning.

Under the aloof girl's piercing gaze, the boy remained unfazed. "Deaf and can't hear me? I'll repeat it for you again..."

"Um, Cheng Fei," Nagasaki Asuna interrupted, patting his arm.

"What's wrong?" the boy asked, turning around.

"She's really angry right now, extremely angry. I think it's best not to joke around." The sweet girl shrank back, clutching her chest with her hand, her tone cautious.

The boy pursed his lips and remained silent for a second. He turned to the other side, clasped his hands together, lowered his head, and said sincerely, "Shen Xi, I was wrong. I'm sorry. I was just joking. I just thought it was a rare opportunity to tease you. I absolutely did not mean to bully you. Even if you can't call the fleet, you will always be the great Empress in my heart. I will always respect and be grateful to you."

After he finished speaking, the air in the room was quiet for a moment.

Shen Xi threw back the covers, stood up on the bed, and looked down at him. Her flat chest heaved as she took a deep breath, her expressionless face shrouded in shadow. "Cheng Fei."

"Huh?" The boy looked up and noticed that the girl's small hand was clenched tightly.

"Don't think I can't see through you..."

"What did you see? My loyalty?"

"Don't think I didn't see you were really thinking about these things just now!" The girl suddenly raised her voice, her sharp gaze seeming to pierce him, and she cursed through gritted teeth with barely suppressed rage, "You sycophant! Ungrateful! Heartless! Bully the weak and fear the strong! Disloyal! Two-faced! Traitorous Cheng Feiyu!!!"

As the girl cursed, she raised her slender, snow-white legs, which were dazzlingly long and white, beneath her loungewear shorts. Her soft, white skin, exuding a faint fragrance, launched a relentless attack on the boy.

"Teacher Shen! Calm down! Calm down! Nana is still giving me some face!" the boy cried out in anguish.

"Cheng Fei?!" Nagasaki Asuna covered her mouth in disbelief.

"This will finally let that vixen see your true colors, you despicable scoundrel! Die!!!"

after a while.

Shen Xi returned to her original position, her flat chest rising and falling slightly, staring at the wall with a tense and annoyed expression.

"Teacher Shen, please don't do that again. It's fine if you kick me, but your feet are so small and delicate that you have no defense at all. It would be bad if you got hurt." The boy sitting in the middle rubbed his waist and sighed.

"Is Cheng Fei alright?" Nagasaki Asuna looked at him with concern.

Although Shen Xi was weak, she couldn't fight city hall; although Shen Xi's legs were also very thin...

Shen Xi sneered without turning her head, "Stop pretending, you vixen. What do you think he has to do? A rotten person like him, whose brain is full of filthy and disgusting fantasies, would think it's a reward if he said no."

"Teacher Shen, first of all, you're emphasizing that I'm not that kind of person. Secondly, you think it's a reward and then you still want to kick me. Are you trying to seduce me?" the boy said seriously.

"I should keep a weapon handy from now on, a belt or a fruit knife..." Shen Xi's gaze swept over the bedside table and the desk, her serious expression seemingly genuine.

"Teacher Shen, don't be so perverted. Your tsundere and adorable persona will be ruined," the boy quickly said.

"Um, you two, shall we get back to the main topic?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head.

“Agreed, Professor Shen, let’s continue the meeting when you’ve had enough fun,” Cheng Fei said seriously.

"First of all, nobody here wants to play with you!" Shen Xi immediately raised her voice and glared at him.

"Yes, it was all my fault for provoking Teacher Shen." The boy lowered his head in a second.

The aloof girl took a deep breath, turned her face away expressionlessly, and said, "Then let's continue."

"Okay, where were we again?" The boy thought for a moment, then clapped his hands. "Looks like we don't have to worry about the Protoss anymore?"

Shen Xi turned to look at him, her brows furrowed slightly, her expression once again becoming puzzled. "I can't understand, what kind of nonsensical nonsense is Cheng Feiyu spouting now?"

"Teacher Shen, think about it, even powerful beings like the Protoss have been destroyed, and the civilizations of the Fallen Lands have perished twice. It seems that the mutated entities are a dangerous existence that is widespread throughout the universe and has already defeated countless intelligent life forms. I think the most important thing for us now is to have a grand celebration." The boy became excited.

"Celebrate what?" Shen Xi was even more confused.

"Let's celebrate that our blue planet is still a pristine land, uninfected by the mutated entities. To be honest, I always thought this world was pretty awful, but now it seems so beautiful, even the air smells sweet." The boy took a deep breath with an air of seriousness. "I think the most urgent thing is to use our intelligence to develop and strengthen real technology to dominate the world. Who cares if other dimensions are flooded? Living our lives well on Earth is more important than anything else."

Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head, lightly tapping her chin with her fingertip. "Eh, although it's a bit selfish, it makes a lot of sense?"

“Nana, this isn’t selfishness, it’s pragmatism. You saw it in the crash site too. The mutated entities can linger for tens of thousands of years, spanning two civilizations. It’s not that we don’t want to save the multiverse, it’s that we have no choice.” After saying this, the boy sighed comfortably, slid down onto the pillow, closed his eyes, and looked peaceful.

Shen Xi looked down at him for a second, then lowered her eyes and said, "You vixen, go back to your room."

"Huh? Why all of a sudden?" Nagasaki Asuna blinked.

"The meeting is over for today. Let this unambitious, cowardly scum of the earth sleep alone. I'm leaving now. Goodbye." The aloof girl finished speaking in a nonchalant, cold voice, and got out of bed.

"Teacher Shen, stop!" Cheng Fei turned around and grabbed her in a second. "What I said wasn't wrong, was it? Otherwise, what are you planning to do?"

"Anyway, a scoundrel like you will only ever want to eke out a living, so saying nice things to you is pointless!" Shen Xi glared at him, making no attempt to hide her contempt.

The boy held her small hand tightly. "Teacher Shen, can you sit down first? I'm just expressing my opinion from a realistic and pragmatic perspective. If you have any feasible ideas, please feel free to share them. I will do my best to assist you, after all, I promised to protect you."

Shen Xi shook her arm but found she couldn't break free, so she reluctantly sat back down. "The research station at the crash site has ample energy and complete tools. Let's start by searching for the remaining Protoss forces from the research station; we might find something."

"I see. So you haven't given up on contacting the fleet. Are you planning to put me on trial whenever you get the chance?" The boy looked at the pretty yet cold face with worry.

"Cheng Feiyu, judging others by his own standards, looks ridiculous with his guilty conscience," Shen Xi scoffed.

"Not at all. I believe that when that day comes, the gentle and forgiving Teacher Shen will forgive all my sins." The boy sat up straight again and rubbed his chin. "Teacher Shen, I have a question that I may ask."

"What?" The aloof girl glanced at him.

"Your research station is so powerful, do you also have usable troops, war machines like the Tailless Scorpion? It wouldn't be too much to ask me to play with some, would it?" The boy became eager.

"I'm sorry, firstly, the research station only has fixed defensive weapons. If you want to experience being burned to ashes by the Prism Tower, that's fine with me. Secondly, even if there were troops, they wouldn't be under your control." Shen Xi turned her face away coldly.

"Why? I'm your governor, after all. You're not going to give me any military power at all?" the boy asked, looking resentful.

"Making you governor was a mistake back then. It's better for a madman like you to stay out of weapons." The girl narrowed her eyes.

"Teacher Shen, I never expected you to think that way. I'm so heartbroken." The boy pressed his chest, feigning injury.

"Stop pretending." The girl sneered.

Asuna Nagasaki looked at the two of them and thought for a moment, "So Her Majesty the Empress has found another Celestial Spirit?"

"What I just said was just a plan. Once things are settled at the crash site, I'll try to contact our home planet." Shen Xi raised her chin.

"Home planet?" Cheng Fei asked, surprised and uncertain.

"What's the problem?" the aloof girl asked him.

"No, I wish Her Majesty all the best." The boy clasped his hands together.

"So, you still don't understand why Shen Xi is the Celestial Spirit Queen?" Nagasaki Asuna asked curiously.

“The research station is only used to study the variable order entities; there is no extra information.” Shen Xi shook her head.

"Nana, she actually knows perfectly well what's going on, but she just keeps it a secret from us," Cheng Fei said in a low voice.

Shen Xi's eyelids twitched. She took a deep breath, narrowed her eyes, and stared at the boy without saying a word.

"Teacher Shen, I was wrong. Forget I said anything." The boy shut his mouth.

"And what about Shen Xi's mother? What new discoveries have you made?" Nagasaki Asuna asked again.

The aloof girl paused for a second, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. "In the illusion of the World Tree, they replenished their energy at the research station, and then jumped to another place."

"Them? Besides your mother, who else is there?" Cheng Fei asked seriously.

The girl pondered for a moment, "I'm not sure. The World Tree only transmitted what it saw to me, but those people looked very familiar to my mother, and I memorized their appearance."

"That's enough. We'll definitely be able to find out who these people are." The boy nodded.

"Where are you going to look?" the girl asked him, looking at him suspiciously.

"Of course, we'll look among the research team members who went to Antarctica with your mother," the boy said, shrugging.

Asuna Nagasaki watched the two pondering, then suddenly sighed, "You two are really strange. Shen Xi is very decisive in the corridor, but becomes timid when she returns to reality, while Cheng Fei is exactly the opposite?"

"Nana, don't you understand? She's actually timid and socially awkward, and she can't talk much. She's always timid and hesitant when she meets people outside. She only dares to be arrogant when playing games online. She only dares to punch and kick me every day because I like her. So she's destined to be inseparable from me for the rest of her life." The boy lowered his voice again.

"Eh, it seems that's really the case?" Nagasaki Asuna nodded thoughtfully.

"Cheng Fei, if you dare to say another word to that vixen!" On the other side, a cool and aloof girl glared at the wall with displeasure and gave him a slap from under the covers.

"I'm sorry, I've once again habitually slandered Her Majesty the Empress. I apologize." The boy bowed his head.

"Alright, that's all the information we have for now. I'll let you know if I make any new discoveries after I've reviewed the entire database. That's all for today," Shen Xi announced coldly.

"So, should I go?" Nagasaki Asuna glanced at the boy beside her, then lowered her head and pursed her lips.

"No need, you stay too, it's part of the regular meeting." Cheng Fei coughed lightly.

Shen Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze flickering. Her small hands loosened and clenched again, as if she were engaged in a battle of wits. Her stubborn lips remained tightly closed.

"Eh, really?" Nagasaki Asuna's eyes widened suddenly, her gaze shifting between the two of them. A subtle expression appeared on her sweet face, and her fingertips unconsciously twirled the ends of her hair.

"Of course, but I want to emphasize that it's just normal sleeping. You absolutely cannot do anything extra, otherwise Teacher Shen will be angry, understand?" Cheng Fei quickly gave her a meaningful look.

"I understand." Nagasaki Asuna nodded her head earnestly.

"That's enough, I'm sleepy, turn off the light." Shen Xi said coldly, not even looking at the two of them. Her slender body slid down, covering herself with the blanket with only her head sticking out as she stared at the ceiling, her brows slightly furrowed as if she was displeased.

"Nana, could you please turn off the light over there?" Cheng Fei gestured casually to the bedside table.

“Okay~” Nagasaki Asuna replied sweetly.

With a soft click, the room plunged into darkness.
