Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

The holy elf warriors looked at each other, and then all put away their weapons.

After all, they couldn't afford to take responsibility if anything happened to Princess Emilia!

"what do you want to do?"

Princess Emilia dared not make a move, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "I am the princess of the Holy Elf Clan. You'd better think about the consequences if you dare to touch me!"

Ye Ge laughed: "That's quite unfortunate. I'm a demonized human, and I often lose control of my emotions when my eyes turn red. That's why we Ye family members always act without considering the consequences. Don't believe me? Ask your subordinates. Right, you there?"

“…Huh?” Airon paused, realizing that Night Song was talking to him, and then said, “Well…it’s like this, His Majesty the King has always said that they demonized people are a bunch of madmen, the kind who would rather lose a thousand of their own to kill eight hundred of the enemy on the battlefield, so it’s best not to provoke them if you can avoid it.”

“…” Princess Emilia bit her lip and snorted, “The strongest person in your Ye family is just a human superhuman at the peak of the Apocalypse Realm. On the battlefield, you can’t win just by being reckless!”

“That makes sense.” Ye Ge nodded in agreement. “By the way, Princess, aren’t you a Saint Elf powerhouse of the Saint Realm? Why are you so afraid to move when I, a human of the Asura Realm, have a gun pointed at your head?”

"This..." Emilia's face flushed red, seemingly feeling ashamed as well: "I was just careless! Who, who knows what despicable methods you used!"

She felt that Night Song must have just activated some kind of magic weapon of at least gold quality.

Otherwise, how could Ye Ge, a mere Asura Realm cultivator, have subdued her in an instant, without even giving her guards time to react?

Ye Ge chuckled, "Your Highness's mouth is really stubborn. Maybe even after your head explodes, your mouth will still be there. That would be quite a spectacle. What do you say, you there?"

"Ah... this..." Upon hearing this, Airon broke out in a cold sweat and quickly advised, "Your Highness, I think it's best not to provoke him for now. When you're under the threat of a gun, you have no choice but to bow your head!"

Emilia: “…”

"You've only wiped out some low- to mid-level dark kingdoms. You don't actually think that your small, demonized human family, with only a thousand-year history, can challenge advanced civilized races, do you?"

Emilia gritted her teeth: "With the power of the Holy Elves across the myriad races, if you offend me, even without war, my father can destroy your family through commercial sanctions alone!"

"Is that so?" Ye Ge said, "But I seem to have heard that the Deep Blue System has now spread to all areas of your Holy Elf Kingdom's society, from major academies, chambers of commerce, and the kingdom's army to the adventurers of the Holy Elf race. They all rely on the convenience of the Deep Blue System to do their work. If Deep Blue is shut down, at least one-third of the people in your Holy Elf Kingdom will lose their income, and the social balance of your kingdom will collapse instantly."

"Hey you, aren't you right?"

"Ah, this..." Airon thought carefully for a moment, then quickly said, "Your Highness, what he said does seem to be true..."

"Aero!!!" Princess Emilia said angrily, "Whose side are you on?! Why do you always help others and diminish our own prestige?!"

Aaron: "..."

Why get angry at a subordinate? He's just stating a fact.

Night Song smiled, put down the Godslayer sword in her hand, and then gently pushed Emilia.

Emilia paused for a moment, then slowly turned her head.

It seemed that Ye Ge hadn't expected to let her go so easily.

"If the princess acts willfully again, I will definitely shoot without hesitation next time."

Ye Ge said calmly.

The tone was as if to say that I could point a gun at your back anytime I wanted.

Emilia stepped back to the side of several holy elf guards, biting her lip, her golden eyes fixed on Night Song.

She desperately wanted her guards to rush up and capture Ye Ge! Tie him up, drag him back to her residence, trample him underfoot, handcuff him to a chair, and personally whip this handsome but ungrateful human to a pulp!

But judging from Ye Ge's nonchalant demeanor, he seemed genuinely confident.

If my head really exploded like a watermelon...it would definitely hurt a lot, right?

'Hmm... it wouldn't have been wise to confront him head-on today.'

'This Night Song just teleported instantly; I don't know if he used some kind of magical artifact or some kind of sorcery, but I couldn't sense any fluctuations in his soul power at all.'

'It's really weird...'

'Let's wait until we get back, then have Father investigate his background thoroughly before seeking revenge!'

Princess Emilia found an excuse, raised her chin, and said coldly, "Your name is Night Song, right? I'll remember you. I have important business to attend to tonight, but next time I will definitely... I will definitely... I will definitely come back to settle this score with you!"

Night Song: "Okay, you're welcome anytime."

"Hmph." Emilia walked onto the carriage with a displeased expression. "Let's go!"

"Crackling crackling..."

The holy elf's golden carriage slowly drove away.

Ye Ge smiled and picked up a red stone in his hand to examine it.

Nangong Ru noticed the strangely shaped stone in the Night Singer's bag and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Night Song: "I don't know either. I just casually took it from that elf princess. It looks like an ornament."

When Nightsong first entered time-traveling mode, she did more than just run behind Princess Emilia and point a gun at her head.

In those few seconds when time slowed down to its absolute limit, he also did many things for Princess Emilia that were unknown to others and unseen by anyone else...

For example, taking away the red gemstone embedded in her dress on her chest.

"Such a heavy stone, and the princess just carries it around her chest every day without getting tired." Ye Ge tossed it in her hand.

Nangong Ru exclaimed in surprise, "You...you just swiped it from Princess Emilia?"

In that brief moment, not only did he subdue Princess Emilia in front of all the holy elf guards, but he also took the jewel from her chest!

How did he manage to do that?

Is this really the speed a Shura Realm transcendent should have?

Ye Ge laughed and said, "Director Nangong, you wouldn't be going to charge me with stealing other people's property, would you?"

Nangong Ru paused for a moment, then said, "Of course not."

“However,” Night Song said, “although I took something from her, I also left something behind. I still understand the principle of reciprocity.”

Nangong Ru asked in confusion, "Did you leave something behind?"
