The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Aside from some people remarking on how clever the Saintess is, it won't change Ella's status or affect Ye Xiao's actions.

Of course, there might be a slightly awkward moment.

But rebirth and a third body are different; the world's mechanisms and the secrets of the gods involved are likely to cause a huge uproar.

Therefore, Ye Xiao had thought about and prepared for a long time before revealing the information to Li Cheng.

Before telling a secret, no matter how good a friend is, you should be prepared for the other person to tell you.

Even though Ye Xiao knew Li Cheng would definitely not tell, he still had to take that into account.

This secret can only be revealed when one is certain that they can bear the worst possible outcome.

Of course, Ye Xiao said this after careful consideration.

But for Li Cheng, accepting this was no less shocking than when Ye Xiao said, "Actually, I am your biological father."

Li Cheng was so shocked that he kept drinking from the empty teacup.

Chapter Three: Li Cheng's Enlightenment

"No, Brother Ye, I still can't believe it."

"It does sound a bit unbelievable to say it so directly, but I can prove it to you..."

"Unbelievable... It turns out the Holy Maiden has been chatting with me in the community system all along!" Li Cheng suddenly exclaimed excitedly. "Oh! The Holy Maiden has been by my side all along!!!"

"...Huh?" Ye Xiao's words turned into a question mark.

Suddenly, his good brother's previously bewildered eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together excitedly. "Brother Ye, look, I've never asked you for anything before, but this time, could you please let me..."

"Are you crazy?!" Ye Xiao saw the guy's excited eyes and knew what he was thinking without even hearing the rest of the sentence. "Don't even think about it!"

"Please, Brother Ye, please! Just once! Just touch me, okay? Just once! That way I can die without regrets!"

"Your death was so pointless! And don't pull on my pant leg!..."

It wasn't until Ye Xiao flicked Li Cheng's forehead a few times that his good friend's feverish mind finally calmed down a little.

"Sigh, you can't even grant me such a small request, it seems our friendship has soured."

"You're the one who wants to ruin our friendship, aren't you?!"

Li Cheng turned his head again to look at Ella across the table. "If this won't work and that won't work, then I'll take a look."

"No, it's weird to keep staring at it like that..." This time it was Ella who spoke up, the girl fiddling with the ends of her hair and looking away with some disgust.

"Brother Ye, please don't let the Holy Maiden dislike me!!!"

"I can't care about you!" Ye Xiao was really losing her composure.

"Sigh... I had a vague feeling of emptiness, like gaining and then losing something..." Li Cheng sighed. "Sigh, what I was saying..."

Just as Li Cheng was about to speak, he glanced at Ella, stood up, and dragged Ye Xiao to a corner of the room in a furtive manner. He whispered, "Hey, speaking of which, have you two already... done it?"

"No, what's the difference between you telling me this secretly from here and sitting there telling me?" Ye Xiao was speechless. "And which one is that?"

“It’s just…” Li Cheng raised one index finger with his right hand.

But before he could even make a move with his left hand, Ye Xiao, who had anticipated his actions, twisted his fingers until he cried out, "What are you thinking?! Of course not!!"

"Huh? Why!?" Li Cheng was shocked.

"Why is that?!"

"...That doesn't make sense. You wouldn't be shy in front of yourself, would you?" Li Cheng was very confused.

"Huh? Of course not!" Ye Xiao's eyes darted around, and he touched his nose.

"Hehe, Brother Ye, don't you know you have a habit of touching your nose when you feel guilty?"

"Ugh, this is so annoying!" Ye Xiao said angrily, pinching Li Cheng's shoulder. "Can't we talk about something serious?"

"Ouch! Ouch!" Li Cheng groaned. "You're starting to have the Saintess's fighting habits... Ouch! Ah! It hurts! I was wrong! I was wrong! Okay, let's not talk about that. Well, there must have been kissing or hugging, right? Ah, the Saintess is so beautiful, you really didn't have any thoughts about her at all?"

"Ha, of course not..."

Ye Xiao instinctively wanted to refute, but suddenly paused.

Li Cheng's eyes widened immediately. "Holy crap? There really is one!?"

"You fucking idiot! Why are your reactions so incredibly fast only at times like this?!"

……

After all that commotion, the two of them were finally able to be completely honest with each other.

Ye Xiao originally thought that this matter was not so...so embarrassing.

But thanks to Li Cheng's genius mind, Ye Xiao now feels that the embarrassment of this matter is far beyond his imagination.

However, as an old friend he had known since junior high school, Ye Xiao had complete confidence in Li Cheng's character.

Despite his penchant for courting death, this guy is also incredibly loyal when it comes to loyalty.

After understanding the relationship between Ye Xiao and Ella, Li Cheng finally understood why this Holy Maiden trusted the Seven Stars Society so much.

He now has a better understanding of many of Ye Xiao and Ella's previous actions.

With this information barrier removed, their collaboration and cooperation when formulating tactics in the future will naturally be more seamless.

However, what troubled Ye Xiao was that he thought that after informing Li Cheng of this matter, Li Cheng would no longer have any strange thoughts about Ella.

Unexpectedly, Li Cheng's fervor only intensified.

For example, she was very decisive and bold at the beginning, giving gifts and asking Ella for autographs. After being rejected, she even went to Ye Xiao to cry and complain.

"What's the point of you crying to me? Besides, I don't understand," Ye Xiao said, feeling extremely frustrated, "why is your enthusiasm only increasing???"

“I’ve seen too many fans betrayed by the idols they idolize,” Li Cheng said firmly, “but my brothers would never betray me!”

Ye Xiao covered his face, he might never understand what Li Cheng's thought process was like.

……

After talking with Li Cheng, Ye Xiao took Greta and Lucyville on a boat trip to the North District.

The main purpose of this trip was to check on Haoming, another good friend who was still under house arrest at the Tide Chamber of Commerce.

This good friend is still just as stubborn as ever, firmly believing that Ella is an evil god.

But unlike before when he absolutely refused to join the Seven Stars Society, he is now willing to join.

The reason he joined was simply, "I will definitely save you."

Although the reason for joining the association is somewhat abstract, it is still better than letting him wander around aimlessly.

Therefore, after Ye Xiao and Freya, the Seven Stars Society welcomed their third mage member.

In a sense, this is what a proper monk should be like.

As for whether Haoming would become a potential threat to Ella, Ye Xiao wasn't too worried about it.

Based on his understanding of Haoming, this guy might tirelessly persuade Ye Xiao and Li Cheng to "escape the clutches of evil," but he would never do anything that might put his friends at risk.

As for why he brought Greta and Lucyville along, there was no connection between the two; it was just that the two little ones had simply been pestering Ye Xiao to go shopping in the city together.

Ye Xiao couldn't understand why he would unconsciously call these two demons, who were probably a hundred times his age, "little guys." But when he walked down the street and saw Lucyville licking a cotton candy while holding onto his clothes, and Greta playing with his hair with her two paws on his shoulder, he found it hard to regard them as mature individuals.

Due to the destruction caused by the fish mother, the Gaocheng District on the cliffs of Beicheng Mountain is still under reconstruction, from the city wall all the way to several streets near Liancheng Bridge.

Fortunately, the neighborhoods near the downhill slope leading to the harbor area were not significantly affected, allowing Ye Xiao to keep his promise to take Greta shopping.

Chapter Four: The Cat and the Glutton

The streets are still brightly lit, filled with a dazzling array of shops and all sorts of pedestrians.

The major event that happened several streets away has become a hot topic of discussion here. Even when Ye Xiao was buying a wrap at a snack shop, he could hear four or five people talking about what happened the day before.

Fortunately, most of the announcements posted by the Knights Templar and the new government of Stormport were praising the Holy Maiden's divine prowess, her foresight in discovering the evil god's whereabouts, and her saving the city from peril.

Some were also discussing the great battle that took place in the North District the day before. There were many eyewitnesses watching the battle from the streets and bridges in the distance, but Ella was wearing a large black cloak and was small in stature. The corrupted believers were unconscious, and those who were watching were quite far away due to their escape. Therefore, there were many different speculations about the battle.

The only certainty is that the Fishermen's Guild also participated in the battle and defeated a giant monster that was destroying the city. However, the guild's leaders remained tight-lipped about the matter, saying, "We were just cooperating with the guards to exterminate the monster. All information is subject to the information released by the Lord's Mansion."

However, their gang's status did indeed rise as a result, after all, they eliminated the monsters that were destroying the town.

As Ye Xiao listened to the conversations of the diners in the shop, he suddenly felt the kitten on his shoulder pat his forehead.

"What's wrong, Miss Cat?"

"By the way, why don't you go shopping with your girlfriend?" Gladys whispered. "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to come out with only us?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao's eyes widened in surprise.

"Hey, what's with that expression?!"

"I just find it hard to believe that you would even consider something like this."

"Hmph, this cat is quite understanding too, okay!" Greta raised her cat head and said, then as if suddenly realizing something, she curled her paw and angrily punched Ye Xiao, "What cat lady! I'm not a cat!"

"Don't you want to listen to what you're saying?" Ye Xiao said, somewhat speechless. "But it seems you've changed your opinion of Ella."

Greta jumped onto the table, her chubby body lying on her side. "Sigh, all I can say is that after seeing your almost perfect teamwork, I completely understand that you two might really be a match made in heaven."

“You were definitely peeking back then.” Ye Xiao pinched the paw pads on the kitten’s paw. “Now you can tell me why you thought Ella was lying to me.”

"Hmm... it's not exactly a big secret, but are you sure you want to talk about it in such a crowded and noisy snack shop?"

"Oh, let's talk about that when we get back," Ye Xiao pondered for a moment, "Let's talk about something less private... When are you going to turn back like this? You're not going to be a cat forever, are you?"

"Do you think I wanted to? I became like this mainly to reduce my presence in the mortal world. Once the backlash from the Threads of Fate has subsided, I should be able to turn back into human form." The kitten yawned. "But turning back into human form won't require too much divine power, so don't even think about using me again."

"What are you saying?" Ye Xiao was speechless. "I always asked for your permission before asking for your help."

"You have the nerve to say that? You were clearly sure I wouldn't refuse you." The kitten angrily pulled its paw back from Ye Xiao's fingers. "Do you know I practiced with that hula hoop thing of yours all night? And after it was all over, you didn't even say 'thank you for your hard work' before going to find your girlfriend!"

"Why is your tone so subtle?" Ye Xiao scratched his head. "I brought you here to eat."

"Humph, you still have a conscience."

"Then touch my belly."

"Get away! You can't just touch a young girl's belly like that!" Greta immediately punched Ye Xiao a few times.

Across the table, Lucyville, who was wolfing down a large bowl of takoyaki, looked up from behind the bowl and said, "Impressive, human. It feels like you have Martyr...Gredia completely under your thumb."

"Hey, hey, hey, since I treated you to so much food, don't stir up trouble." Ye Xiao tossed a croissant into Lucyville's bowl.

"Oh, I'm telling the truth... I'm just telling the truth."

"Can you swallow your food before you speak?" Ye Xiao rubbed her forehead. "And are you really not the Gluttony Witch? Did you draw the wrong lot when you were assigning this position?"

“When…when Yang Buxi…” (Of course not)

"Ugh, I can't take it anymore." Ye Xiao looked back at Greta. "Speaking of which, Greta, I've seen you all say that this backlash from the Fate Thread is due to excessive use of divine power, but Ella actually uses a lot of divine power too, so why doesn't she seem to have this problem?"

"Why don't you just ask her?" Gladys tilted her head slightly. "She knows much more about this than I do."

“Uh…” Ye Xiao’s eyes darted around.

"What's wrong? You two didn't have a fight, did you?" The kitten's eyes lit up.

"Of course not, I was just suddenly curious. Well... she doesn't tell me everything." Ye Xiao certainly couldn't tell the truth that Ella herself didn't know either.

"Hmph, it seems we're not so in sync after all."

"You seem quite happy."

"Well, this question is actually somewhat related to the previous one. Let me just put up a soundproofing array and explain it briefly." Greta patted Lucyville's rice bowl. "Hey, you rice bowl over there, put a small soundproofing array in there."

Just then, Lucyville swallowed a bunch of takoyaki and said clearly, "I don't know this kind of magic."

"Are you an idiot?! Didn't I just teach you this afternoon?!"

"What kind of teaching is that? You're clearly launching a personal attack against me!"

"Who told you to be a demon god... You can't even understand such a simple spell? Have you been wasting your brain all these years?!"

“Mr. Ye, look, she’s scolding me again!” Lucy Villa said, feeling wronged.

"It's alright, you eat first, you eat first. I know this spell too, I'll cast it." Ye Xiao quickly grabbed the staff leaning against the table and cast a soundproofing spell.

These two clowns can really go on and on when they start arguing.
