The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"Thank you."

The landlady took a silver coin and laid out two keys on the table. "Hehehe, also, young man, the bed in the second room is a bit loose. So if you have something to do, remember to go to the third room."

"What?" Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lucyville beside him who looked completely bewildered, and his lips twitched.

However, he didn't need to explain anything. He took back the remaining silver coin and the key, and led Lucyville upstairs.

"Take care~" The proprietress's voice drifted behind me.

The second-floor corridor was not spacious, and there were hand-painted vases in the passageway.

However, everything was cleaned very well, and the oil lamps on the walls cast a dim yellow light in the corridor.

Ye Xiao inserted the key, pushed open the door, and a fresh fragrance wafted out of the room.

He went inside and rubbed a small flame between his fingers to light the candlestick on the table.

The room wasn't big, but it had everything you'd expect.

The floors and furniture were very clean, and a snow-white sheet was laid on a wide bed.

“Not bad, as expected of the place I chose.” Greta seemed very satisfied. She jumped off Ye Xiao’s shoulder, made a dent in the pillow near the bed with her paw, and then curled up her little body and lay down in it.

“Hey, this is my room.” Ye Xiao scratched his head. “You should go next door.”

"I don't want to sleep with that idiot, his snoring is too loud."

"...Is that so? I saw you having a lot of fun with her this morning." Ye Xiao crossed her arms. "It's not really appropriate for you to sleep here."

“Why not?” Greta stretched. “Don’t tell me you can have weird thoughts about cats too.”

"Now you're acting like a cat." Ye Xiao was speechless.

Unable to resist the maid's insistence, Ye Xiao simply stopped caring.

But after he finished showering in the bathroom on the first floor and returned to his room, he suddenly seemed to remember something: "Wait, demons don't need to sleep at all, right?!"

"Who said you can sleep whenever you want!"

"Nonsense, get out of the way!"

Ye Xiao went to pick up the kitten that was lying on the bed, but the stubborn little guy twisted its body and kicked its limbs at Ye Xiao's hands, "No! I don't want to!"

The two of them struggled on the bed for a long time before Ye Xiao realized that the little fat cat was surprisingly agile despite its chubby appearance, and he couldn't catch it for a while.

"I'm really fed up! Why do you have to stay here?" Ye Xiao said breathlessly, hands on her hips. "I'm warning you, I snore really loudly when I sleep, and it'll drive you crazy!"

"Hehehe." The kitten stuck out its tongue.

"You guy..."

Helpless, Ye Xiao finally lay down on the bed, letting the kitten next to his pillow tuck itself under the covers.

At this moment, the night sky outside the wooden lattice window is exceptionally bright.

Even on a stormy harbor without any dark clouds, you can see a sky full of stars stretching out before you.

Unlike Ella's divine body, Ye Xiao's body is still that of a mortal, and he needs to sleep when he should.

Perhaps due to the fatigue accumulated in the past few days, or perhaps due to the relaxation and peace of mind after the relaxation, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Until the dead of night.

The kitten, its body buried in the blankets, suddenly and quietly opened its eyes.

Greta moved closer to the sleeping Ye Xiao and then tentatively placed her paw on Ye Xiao's nose.

This guy was really fast asleep, but he didn't snore at all.

"Ye Xiao~"

"Ye Xiao~~"

Are you asleep?

The kitten meowed softly again.

If Ye Xiao were awake, he would be absolutely shocked that this little guy could actually speak so softly and gently.

Of course, if he knew what was going to happen next, he would be more than just shocked.

The kitten's small body trembled, and its chubby, round silhouette, hidden under the blanket, gradually began to become longer and more slender.

The adorable kitten's head slowly transformed into the appearance of a young girl.

Her long, pinkish-white hair cascaded down from the back of her head, flowing along her smooth, fair collarbone, across her full chest, and down to her waist.

Greta, surprisingly, reverted to her original human form at that moment.

On that cute, petite face, a pair of half-closed golden eyes held a sly glint.

She carefully moved her body under the covers closer to the sleeping Ye Xiao, her slender arms encircling his neck, her soft cheeks flushed, as she leaned closer to the young man with his eyes tightly closed.

"Idiot, you really do sleep like a pig."

Her thin, pink lips parted slightly, and she felt his warm breath, like a gentle spring breeze caressing her face.

At such close range, I just quietly looked at the other person's not-so-handsome sleeping face.

The young girl felt a strange sense of peace and happiness.

To be honest, she herself didn't understand whether this counted as liking someone.

As she herself once said, love is merely a byproduct of the reproduction of mortal beings.

But as she spent more and more time with Ye Xiao, she found it increasingly difficult to control her desire to stay by his side.

Just as greed grows wildly in my heart, I want to stick to it more, rub against it more, and be touched more.

Now, Greta doesn't even dare to tell Ye Xiao that she can actually transform back into human form.

Because that would mean there might never be another chance to sit on each other's shoulders and rub our noses against each other's stubble-covered lips like we do now, or to lie on each other's pillows in the quiet, peaceful night, head to head, feeling each other's warm breath.

Back then, that idiot and heartless Ye Xiao would definitely have pushed her aside, pressing her head down: "You've turned back to normal, why are you still rubbing against me?!"

Thinking of this, Greta puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, her round face resembling a soft little bun.

However, given how slow-witted this guy is, he probably couldn't have guessed the current situation.

The girl smiled again.

Ye Xiao is actually right; the Demon God really doesn't need to sleep.

So until sunrise, these were her own secret and blissful moments.

Chapter Eight: No Silver Here

South District, Ocean Sanctuary.

Although Ye Xiao was fast asleep, Ella, who was lying on the big bed with her lips pursed and her eyes wide open, was wide awake.

She was staring at the player forum on the system panel, and a post with a striking title caught her eye:

[Location: Stormport, Loren Empire. Is this the number one ranked player in our arena?]

Clicking through, the first post left by the original poster is an image of a petite figure in a black cloak rushing headlong into a giant catfish with arms and legs high above a destroyed street.

This is a scene captured from a distance using a photographic crystal, showing Ella defeating the evil goddess Fish Mother with a single punch.

This footage was taken from the side, presumably by a player who was taking refuge in a certain neighborhood at the time.

Fortunately, most of his face was covered by a fox mask hanging on his right side, and only the tip of his nose and the small mouth peeking out below could be barely seen from the edges of the cloak and mask.

I don't know where this crystal came from, but it's a high-quality product; the image is exceptionally clear.

Such a high-definition photographic crystal isn't used to capture valuable secrets, but instead it's used to film me fighting. Is it toxic? Are they just wasting their money?!

Ella was furious when she saw the image.

[#24 When will there be Coke again: Isn't the number one supporter anonymous? Do you guys know who it is?]

[#24 Dwarf's Longest Reply: When Will We Get Coke? You're obviously above "Heroic" rank. Which Legendary rank hasn't been beaten up by this fox-headed dwarf?]

[#24 The Life-Saving Mage replies to the Dwarf's Number One: The second-ranked player changes every day, but the number one has never changed. Once you've played against him, you'll know that guy is cheating.]

[#25 Add me for more beautiful pictures of the Holy Maiden: Is the top-ranked player in the Arena actually a girl? What does she look like? Is she pretty?]

The name "Twenty-Fifth Floor" made Ella frown.

[#25 The Mage replied to the picture of the Holy Maiden: How did you know she was a girl?]

[#25 Add me for beautiful pictures of a saint: That face is definitely that of a girl, and she even has lip gloss]

[#25 Kryptonite Mage: Wow, did you look at it with a microscope?? I never saw its face, I was instantly killed, all I saw was a fox mask]

[#27 Xia Lian: Huh? I think I've seen this person before in the arena, back when she wasn't wearing a mask and wasn't anonymous.]

[#27 Long-term buyer of Blood Essence Grass replies to Xia Lian: Upstairs, is it true or false? You've even seen that guy before, what's his ID?]

[#27 Xia Lian's reply: It's not good for someone to say this anonymously, but she is indeed a very pretty girl, it's a pity she won't add me as a friend]

[#27 Saintess's Beautiful Pictures - Add me and reply: How beautiful!? How beautiful!?]

[#27 Xia Lian's reply: I mistook the picture of the Holy Maiden of Light for her when I saw the popular post. I know the Holy Maiden is definitely not a player, but she really looks like her.]

[#28 Shadow Steps onto Princess Beam: Holy crap, what player's looks are on par with the Holy Maiden of Light? What's the point of her even playing in the arena? She can just use her universal points to easily get kills by posting selfies online.]

[#29 The Dwarf's Number One Strength: Others have ambitions, but this is the number one spot!]

[#30 Long-term purchase of Blood Essence Grass: The Holy Maiden isn't silver-haired and red-eyed? What kind of human on Earth looks like that? What kind of heaven-defying genes are these?]

[#31 Xia Lian: Believe it or not, it's basically the same in my memory.]

As Ella watched, she became increasingly terrified.

As the post progressed, a group of players commented that they would stop playing once they reached the top of the rankings in the arena, and everyone would work together to lift her cloak and see who it was.

Although she felt that most ambitious players who could reach the top 100, or the legendary rank, wouldn't be so bored, these rumors were already making her a little uneasy.

She had originally planned to take advantage of the fact that she had nothing to do tonight and that it was almost time for the arena rewards to be tallied up some kills.

Now she's a little hesitant.

Although theoretically she could just change her clothes... her figure and ranking didn't change. The top dozens of people were the same group fighting each other. When they met in the ranks, everyone could tell that she had changed her clothes just by looking at the masked, short woman they had never seen before.

No, this won't do. We need to muddy the waters!

[#277 Late Night Snack: Not necessarily. I've seen this outfit in other places too. Many people dress like this. How can you be sure it's the same person?]

[#277 The First Dwarf replied to Midnight Snack: You're obviously a noob too. Physique, fighting style, aura... clothes are just appearances. A true master can tell at a glance, you understand?]

[#277 Night Snack Reply: No, how did you discern the fighting style and aura from just one picture??]

[#277 Dwarf's Longest Reply: All I can say is, those who know, know; if you're bad, just practice more.]

Ella was very frustrated. This guy had already made up his mind and wouldn't listen to any explanation.

[#277 Xia Lian replies to the First Dwarf: I suggest you carefully consider your tone when replying to this commenter]

[#277 The First Dwarf Reply to Xia Lian: ?]

Holy crap! Sister Xia, please stop talking.

Ella looked at the ID and began to recognize it; it seemed to be a teammate she encountered in her first match in the arena.

I remember she was a red-haired girl with a very... crazy personality.

Wait, how come this guy remembers me so well??

[#277 Goblin Hero replies to Xia Lian: Damn, I think I get it now]

[#277 Every boy will leave. Reply to midnight snack: Time to log on, look, everyone's waiting for you.]

[#277 The Mage Who Destroys Life replies to Late Night Snack: Could this be him?!]

Ugh, I'm going to throw up!

Ella felt a chill run down her spine and started considering whether she should change her nickname.

But if she changes her nickname, this place will follow suit, which is useless and only makes her look more guilty!

Ugh! I should have just stayed silent!

Why can't I create alternate accounts on this system?!

[#277 Night Snack replies to Xia Lian: Don't mess around, I'm a guy, don't talk nonsense]
