The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Therefore, when Ye Xiao saw that the puppy in Miss Mo Feng's hand, which was clearly just an illusion, could play and bite her fingers like a real puppy, he was somewhat curious.

"This is also a talent skill. I don't know the principle behind it, but I know that if I use illusion magic to materialize a living being, it can also have a little bit of spirituality."

Miss Mofeng smiled and said, "However, if the imitation is too advanced, the intelligence will not be very good, and it can only respond to simple commands."

Ye Xiao stroked her chin, clicking her tongue in amazement.

To be honest, although he had seen many magnificent and powerful divine spells, many of the talent skills that the system gave to players didn't seem that strong, but when you looked into their principles, they were often even more incomprehensible than these divine spells.

His innate skill, One Qi Transforms into Three, is also very strange. Although it divides attributes into three equal parts, which is quite bad and directly reduces individual strength by 30%, it is very strange that even the soul can be divided into three parts, and the key is that all three parts are still intact. It even fooled the witch Ella in her previous life because of this.

He has seen many "cloning" spells, but they all have various drawbacks. They either require multitasking, the clones are not physical entities, the duration is very short, or you need to construct the clone in advance and then split your soul on it... In short, none of them are as "convenient" as "one breath transforms into three".

It's like this skill isn't very strong, but it's just very convenient to use.

As for the World Tree system that enables this skill, it's even stranger.

"dong dong dong"

A soft knock sounded, and the door Ye Xiao was guarding was pulled open from the inside. Da Shan, the burly player in their team, peeked half his head out from the crack in the door.

"How about it, you two? Do you need to switch shifts? There's a dance party going on inside. How about I take over while you go in, grab something to eat, and rest?"

Ye Xiao and Mo Feng are currently guarding the stairs leading from the first floor of the airship to the second-floor passenger cabins. After all, being hired as bodyguards, they still have to do some "bodyguard" work.

"prom……?"

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow. "I was thinking, isn't this a war airship?"

"Nobility...you know what I mean."

Da Shan shrugged. "You can socialize anywhere."

The airship's interior is divided into three levels like a cruise ship, with the first-class cabins on the second and third levels featuring their own lobby and private rooms. It's normal for nobles to come up with some fancy features.

"Then you go and rest first, boss. I'll stand guard for a while longer."

Ye Xiao didn't want to go in and see people he didn't want to see at this time. He wished he could stay at the door until late at night when everyone was asleep, and then sneak back to his room.

"I'm fine, but what about Raymond?"

Miss Mofeng shook her head.

"He is guarding Deborah and Dorma."

"I understand... but there's no rush to change shifts. But Dashan, could you please get me a bottle of grape juice, without ice?"

"no problem,"

Da Shan then turned to Ye Xiao, "Mr. Kalong, would you like something?"

"I don't have to."

Ye Xiao took a water bottle out of his pocket and shook it.

Da Shan understood, closed the door, and left.

"I always felt that you were surprisingly composed, little brother."

Miss Mofeng smiled, her eyes curving like crescent moons.

"Why do you say that?"

"I thought you would be averse to standing guard, after all, our job is to be secret agents."

Miss Mofeng spread her hands, and the puppy took the opportunity to run up her arm and onto her head to dance. "Before, when I and other team members were on a mission, we infiltrated a tavern and pretended to be laborers. As a result, we washed dishes for several days in a row, and everyone got tired of it."

Ye Xiao looked at the puppy frolicking on the other's head and said, "Isn't it better to be relaxed? It's much more comfortable than fighting to the death."

"That's a really insightful way of putting it, like someone who's been through a lot."

The girl covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Just don't get obsessed with me."

"Ugh, it's so oily."

The girl then stuck out her tongue.

While we were chatting, we suddenly heard footsteps coming from below the stairs.

A group of young nobles dressed in formal attire walked up the steps to the door of the guest room. The one at the front did not even look at the two guards at the door and went up to open the door.

"Do you have a pass? Upper cabin, visits are not permitted."

Ye Xiao naturally reached out to stop him. Even if he was being lazy, he still had to perform the basic duties of a security guard—no, a bodyguard.

"what?"

The noble scion at the front was stopped by Ye Xiao, and his eyebrows immediately shot up. "What the hell?! Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me?!"

No, are they going to stage this kind of tacky little drama here?

Ye Xiao's lips twitched. They were all nobles; was it so hard to be polite and show them a pass?

Just as he was pondering whether he should endure it for the sake of the mission or go up and slap the other person twice, a voice full of surprise suddenly came from behind the crowd.

"Karlon brothers!!"

Huh? Ye Xiao immediately became alert and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a young man in the center of the crowd who looked somewhat familiar and was dressed in luxurious clothes.

This man was none other than Pierberg, the unfortunate fellow whom Ye Xiao had encountered while infiltrating Strømsgod, who had been tricked and harmed by another group of noble scions.

Chapter 89 Unable to Refuse Such Kindness

Ye Xiao wanted to pretend he didn't know the other person, but Pierberg had already pushed through the crowd like a bull, rushed up to him, and put his arm around his shoulder. "Brother Kalon! What a coincidence, what are you doing here!?"

"Kalon...?"

A nobleman's son recalled the tongue-twisting name and suddenly realized, "Oh, it's that 'Rat Hole' Baron from that day..."

"You motherfucker!"

Pierberg turned around and slapped the aristocratic boy on the head, making a loud thud. "Speak with some respect! This is my older brother! Call him Brother Kalon!"

"Brother Kalong..."

"Brother Kalong".

A group of noble sons from the duchy bowed to Ye Xiao with smirks, making Ye Xiao's scalp tingle.

"No, Mr. Pielberg, that won't be necessary..."

He was extremely uncomfortable, fearing that someone in the passenger compartment might hear the noise and come out to take a look out of curiosity.

"Hey, Kalong, to be honest, if it weren't for you that night, my life would have been over."

Before Ye Xiao could finish speaking, Pierberg grabbed his sleeve and burst into tears, "I didn't have a chance to properly thank you last time, but I never thought that fate would bring us together again. I sincerely praise God..."

"What a terrible fate." Ye Xiao cursed inwardly, while gently prying the guy's hand away, but still trying to maintain a calm tone, "It was just a small favor, Mr. Pielberg, you really don't need to take it so seriously..."

"You're too modest, Brother Kalong. If any one of my cronies had such noble character as you, I would be grateful to the gods."

Pierberg was so excited he was almost incoherent, "I might have only lost a leg, but you risked your entire fortune!..."

As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly realize something, and frowned. "Speaking of which, Brother Kalon, what are you doing here?"

Hiss... This guy isn't stupid after all; it seems he realized something was wrong. Ye Xiao's heart sank, and he quickly racked his brains for an explanation.

"Who is so blind as to assign you to be a security guard here?!"

Unexpectedly, Pierberg angrily retorted, "This is outrageous! I must speak to Miss Windsor; it's a waste of your abilities to be a doorman..."

"No, no, no, no, no!"

Ye Xiao was so shocked by what this guy said that he almost stammered, and quickly spoke up to stop him.

"That won't do! Even if you were once a Loren, you are now a talent of my duchy! How can you be wasted here as a gatekeeper?!"

"No, Pierberg, let me explain..."

Ye Xiao couldn't take it anymore, so she quickly pulled the guy aside and whispered something to him.

"That's how it is. Although the Western Frontier was recovered by Loren, as a minor lord in a remote area, after returning to the Empire's administration, that witch's subordinates learned that I had ulterior motives to surrender to the Duchy and wanted to get rid of me, so I escaped and sought help from Mr. Zhou."

"Ah, I see. I was wondering why..."

"Yes, and then Mr. Zhou helped me find an identity and secretly moved to the Duchy for refuge. You know, I was once the Baron of Loren. If my identity were exposed, even for the sake of face, they would definitely send spies to hunt me down."

"Hiss... Oh no, didn't I just end up hurting you instead..."

Pierberg was stunned for a moment, realizing he had messed things up.

"It's alright, it's alright. As long as you don't tell anyone else what I've been told, I'll be safe once I get to the principality and meet the people Mr. Zhou has arranged."

"So that's it, I understand."

Pierberg nodded cautiously. "I'll have them make sure they don't let anything slip... or you could just come with me, and I promise I'll have enough people to ensure your safety..."

"No, no, no, that would be too much trouble for you, and it would put you in danger too..."

"Oh, that's nothing. Thanks to your great help before, I'm quite familiar with Miss Windsor now. I'll just ask her to arrange a personal attendant job for you. Those Loren spies definitely won't dare to lay a finger on you..."

"No, really, it's not necessary. I appreciate your kindness..."

Ye Xiao was almost speechless; this person was indeed a bit too difficult to deal with.

"Trust me, brother, it's no trouble at all. This is definitely safer than being a doorman!"

Pierberg persisted, his sincere eyes gleaming with an enthusiasm that made Ye Xiao's forehead sweat.

The two were still struggling in the hallway when the door to the guest room suddenly opened again, and a maid in a black and white dress leaned out from inside.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, Miss Windsor noticed that you were late and specially sent me to greet you at the door."

"Oh, Miss Windsor, you're so kind."

Hearing the noise, Pierberg turned around and responded, then grabbed Ye Xiao's arm, "Good brother, just trust me this once. Your business is my business. Don't worry about any trouble."

You are the biggest worry and trouble for me right now!

If there weren't so many people, Ye Xiao would have wanted to punch this guy and knock him out.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of this guy, and fearing that dragging things out would lead to a few more people coming out of the door, Ye Xiao had no choice but to relent a little and change his delaying tactic, "How about this, let me think about it first, okay? You go ahead and don't keep Miss Windsor waiting. We'll talk about this later."

Pierberg scratched his head. He couldn't understand why Ye Xiao was so resistant to his more "reasonable and safe" plan. However, since Miss Windsor was waiting, he really couldn't linger here any longer. "Okay, I'll go over first and come back to you later."

I just beg you not to come looking for me! Ye Xiao forced an awkward smile, "Okay."

After much persuasion, Ye Xiao finally managed to see Pierberg off, and returned to the door with lingering fear.

Miss Mo Feng, still standing by the door, grinned and said, "Looks like there's something that will really shock you."

"When Dashan comes, I'll switch shifts with him..."

Ye Xiao was exhausted.

Let's try to avoid that guy Pierberg for now. I don't know why he's going back home when he was just here to gain military merit. Could it be that his family has realized the war is going badly and wants to cut their losses?

In any case, thankfully that guy has been silenced. If he had really gotten himself into trouble, he would probably have been torn apart on the spot if he had run into Saintess Tanya.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before Ye Xiao could even rest for a few minutes by the door, the door to the guest room was opened again.

That familiar, exasperating figure, Pierberg, darted out of the door, waving his arms.

"Brother Kalon! You're incredibly lucky!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao immediately felt that his luck couldn't have gotten any worse.

“Miss Windsor’s tea master in Xinjiang is sick. I remember you mentioned at the dinner party last time that you were good at brewing tea, so I immediately recommended him to you!”

Ye Xiao almost couldn't help but curse out loud. So, all that he'd just said had been completely ignored?

Seeing Ye Xiao's expression as if he had swallowed a fly, Pierberg scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "Oh, my good brother, you probably don't know how rare this opportunity is. The security level of these core attendants is almost equivalent to that of Miss Windsor herself. I really can't trust you to stay here alone and guard the door."

"No, I don't understand,"

Ye Xiao held out her palm. "Shouldn't a tea master be subject to a background check for such a personal attendant? How could they let someone of unknown origin like me..."

"You're not some shady character, my good brother. I vouched for you to Miss Windsor in my father's name, and I'm sure you're all right!"

Pierberg patted his chest proudly.

What kind of filial son is this? Ye Xiao was completely speechless.
