The Villain Saint is my secondary account

From honey-coated roasted chicken to crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside pan-fried fish, the clear fruit wine filled the air with a sweet aroma. As a local delicacy of the Seven Seas City, Ye Xiao finally had a rare treat after so long.

Before this, he drifted on the sea with the Dark Shepherds' sailboats, eating dry bread every day. If it weren't for Ella's side where he could eat some good food, his mouth would have been so bland.

Chesia and Xiaozao, the two little ones, were also happily eating on the table. The pile of roasted meat on their plates was taller than their heads, showing their big stomachs despite their small bodies.

Agnes was led to a table with Greta and the black dog, where she ate nervously under Greta's watchful eye.

Only Chloe frowned, and after thinking for a long time, she finally asked Ye Xiao, "How exactly did you learn Holy Light?"

Since the village chief's daughter has recovered, it means that Ye Xiao's methods are indeed effective. Although Chloe felt something was amiss, she naturally wouldn't question it since the village chief hadn't said anything.

What puzzled her was that this seemingly unreliable guy actually knew Holy Light. Didn't he say he was a mage when he joined the party? Why would he hide the fact that he knew Holy Light magic? It was too suspicious.

"Alas, I only learned a little bit from a certain Templar Knight."

Ye Xiao waved his hand.

“Holy Light requires a strict foundation of faith to cultivate. What Templar Knight would teach you Holy Light if you’re someone who always has a slave by your side?”

Chloe questioned.

"I've said it several times, this is not a slave."

Ye Xiao was speechless. "She just had a mental breakdown, so I don't know why she's clinging to me... If I could just leave her alone, do you think I'd want to be tied to this troublesome person?"

"No one would believe that."

Chloe turned to look at Agnes. The clothes Agnes wore were simple in appearance, but the material was surprisingly high-end. Her beautiful appearance and smooth skin, which were hidden by the hood, as well as the etiquette she displayed during the meal, were not at all what an ordinary slave would be like.

She seriously suspected that this was some noble girl that Ye Xiao had kidnapped and brainwashed into becoming his slave.

“Miss, if you have been forced into slavery, you can ask us for help.”

"What you said..."

Ye Xiao's lips twitched, and he looked at Agnes, "I didn't force you to hold my hand, did I?"

Agnes looked at Ye Xiao with trembling eyes, then lowered her head, her voice weak, "No...no, Master."

"look."

Ye Xiao shrugged.

"No, this looks like coercion no matter how you look at it!"

Chloe turned to her two teammates who were devouring their food, and said, "How come you two don't suspect anything at all?!"

"Mr. Ye... Mr. Ye is a good person."

Chesia said, her mouth stuffed full.

"He let me eat roast chicken, so he must be a good person."

Xiao Zao nodded as well.

These two idiots.

Chloe covered her forehead, then turned to the maid Fisher, who had been sitting silently in the corner, and said, "Miss Fisher, you must be able to tell, right?"

"Ah."

Fisher remained seated, not opening his mouth, and it was unclear whether the sound he uttered could be considered a response.

Chloe sighed helplessly.

"Don't get stuck on things. Sometimes you have to learn to let go, and life will be easier."

Ye Xiao smiled and reassured Chloe, "Anyway, you've completed your mission, so we'll go our separate ways tomorrow."

……

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms.

Because of Agnes's strange mental state, Ye Xiao didn't want the woman to live in his house, but he still needed to find someone to help her. After thinking it over, he asked the black dog.

"Dog God, could you please keep an eye on this for me before I go to sleep tonight?"

"Are you serious, human?"

The black dog gave him a complicated look. "You're letting a dog lead people?"

Why is this guy acting like a dog all of a sudden? Ye Xiao was speechless.

"Just hold my hand when I tell you to!"

Greta, sitting on the black dog, slapped the dog's head with her paw. "A mere prisoner has so much to say."

"What are you being so arrogant about, you stinky cat? Aren't you this guy's pet now too!"

"what?"

Greta bared her teeth, stretched out her paw, hooked the dog's mouth, and lifted it up. "I think you're tired of living!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! I'll hold you! I'll hold you!"

The black dog howled.

"If only you had been this obedient earlier."

Greta strutted around, her neck held high, her body resembling a tall nut.

The black dog angrily picked up Agnes's leash, went into the room, and gritted its teeth, "Damn it, wait until I regain my divine power, I'll teach you a lesson."

"Wow, that's impressive. So, it wouldn't hurt for me to mention your name so Ye Xiao can be on guard, would it?"

Greta teased.

"You dare!?! Don't say it!!!"

The black dog barked loudly.

"I won't say anything, you should go inside now."

Ye Xiao rubbed Greta's head, telling the little one to stop teasing the black dog.

"Don't you dare say my name!!! Do you hear me, you wretched demon god!!! You're not allowed to say it even in private!!!"

The black dog was still worried and gave some more instructions before going inside.

"Good good."

Ye Xiao closed the door, and finally it was much quieter.

Of course, although Ye Xiao separated the two of them from his room, he wasn't so careless as to completely ignore them.

He summoned a raven to fly in through the window on the other side of the room, and had Ella keep an eye on the two of them before picking up Greta and taking her into the next room.

"By the way, Greta, how did that guy, a true god, become like this?"

After entering the room, Ye Xiao closed the door and asked Greta.

"what?"

Greta licked her paw. "You've already guessed who she is?"

"This girl already self-destructed, she just didn't notice."

Ye Xiao shrugged.

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Little Maid's Promise

"Very smart."

Greta grinned mischievously.

"When Torin returned to the village earlier, he prayed to Undine, which shows that this village, like the Ocean Sanctuary, worships the ocean goddess."

Ye Xiao sat down on the bed and patted the empty space next to him. Greta then obediently jumped up, sat down next to him, and rubbed her fluffy head against Ye Xiao's hand.

"The black dog said that the villagers worshipped 'her mother,' and after thinking it over, she could only be Undine's offspring."

"Hehe, that's right."

Greta nodded.

"As you know, the current division of the seas into seven areas is not entirely based on geographical factors. In the New Age of Gods, the sea goddess sent her seven daughters as guardians of the sea, and the seven seas were named and divided according to the areas they protected."

"And I can smell the aura of the Ocean Goddess on that guy. If I'm not mistaken, he should be one of the seven daughters of the Ocean Goddess. As for which one it is, I don't know."

Even though Black Dog repeatedly warned her, she probably never expected that these two guys would reveal all her secrets the moment they turned around.

It can only be said that she was still a bit naive. Since Greta knew, how could she possibly keep it from Ye Xiao?

"This sounds like someone of high status, so why is he acting like some kind of evil god from the wilderness, hiding in the body of a mortal girl and doing despicable things?"

Ye Xiao stroked her chin.

"The distinction that humans make between so-called evil gods and good gods is really just a matter of whether the God of Light has recruited them or not. Even if a god has a name in the Hall of Gods, it does not necessarily mean that He is good."

The kitten spreads its paws.

"However, there is probably a hidden reason why this goddess has fallen to this state. After all, she is the daughter of the sea goddess. Her performance is too weak, and she is seriously injured. Her divine power is also very mixed. Judging from the filthy mud in the room, it is very likely that it has been contaminated."

"She said she entered the girl's body for revenge, but in reality, if she really wanted to kill the villagers, she probably had many ways to do it. The only way she did this was to hide inside the girl's body, which seems more like she was healing herself."

"But the pollution she carried in her soul did indeed harm that girl, so it's not unfair of you to beat her up."

"However, this probably means that there must be a god here who is far stronger than her to beat her like this."

Ye Xiao frowned slightly. "Tsk tsk, it seems there are some formidable opponents ahead."

"It might not be here."

Greta added, "The sea area is so large, it's possible she was injured elsewhere and then sought refuge on this island."

"Moreover, the mud on the village chief's floor is very similar to your first wife's abilities, don't you think? Perhaps you could ask her if she knows anything."

First wife?

Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment before realizing that Greta was referring to Ella.

Ye Xiao naturally knew that Ella definitely didn't know what was going on, but after listening to Greta's explanation, he realized that the silt that the Black Dog Goddess had seeped out was indeed quite similar in appearance to the Earth of Life, but it did not have the power of life, which was why he hadn't paid much attention to it before.

Now that it's mentioned, it reminds Ye Xiao of the strange deity called "Lydia" whom the Dark Shepherds worship.

It's reasonable that the "Land of Life" in the mountain stronghold is associated with the "God of Life" in the mountain stronghold. And since that guy was able to seriously injure the descendant of the Ocean Goddess, his strength must be greater than Ye Xiao expected.

"But it's fine that Ella is the first wife, so what are you?"

Ye Xiao smiled and tapped the cat's head. "Second wife?"

Greta bared her teeth, "You know perfectly well what I'm asking! Of course I'm the concubine!"

"Wait a minute, Ella is big, you're small, so what is Skadi?"

"Of course she's the mistress."

Greta twitched her beard. "Hmph, that shameless woman."

Ye Xiao was amused by the kitten and pinched its soft cheeks and rubbed them.

The soft moonlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the room. After several days of travel, the tranquility made the night unusually peaceful.

"By the way, has something been forgotten?"

The kitten enjoyed Ye Xiao's massage for a while, then suddenly pressed down on Ye Xiao's hand with its paw and squinted its eyes.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Ye Xiao was puzzled.

As soon as he finished speaking, the kitten in front of him was suddenly enveloped by a deep red ball of magical light, which covered its body and gradually grew larger until a fair, lotus-root-like arm reached out from it and wrapped around Ye Xiao's neck.

As the halo faded, the kitten transformed into a girl wearing a maid's dress with long pink and white hair, kneeling on the edge of the bed with one knee encased in white stockings.

The girl's youthful face, with its dark golden pupils and slightly resentful gaze, stared upwards at Ye Xiao.

"What do you say?"

Having grown accustomed to his cat form, Ye Xiao was momentarily taken aback by seeing this girl form.

It had been so long that he had almost forgotten how adorable Greta's human form could be.

"Ahem, don't rush, let me think about it."

Ye Xiao's gaze unconsciously followed the girl's collar.
