Ella was speechless. She could only say that this was a purely subjective evaluation. They thought the same way. How different would it be if the words came out of her mouth or Ye Xiao's mouth?

However, Ella was too lazy to argue back; being mature, she wouldn't stoop to the level of a mental patient.

Of course, the main reason is that a mortal body cannot sustain its divine power for too long. As an "Apostle" level believer, Ye Xiao's adaptability to Ella's divine power is already very high, but such a complete descent still puts a great strain on him.

Moreover, this "form" is of no use other than getting rid of mind control and fooling the two sisters. Whether it is Ella manipulating it or Ye Xiao manipulating it, the consciousness is ultimately the same.

Ella then casually opened a spatial portal, gestured with her hand, and withdrew the divine power that had been attached to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao's vision went black immediately, and he fell straight to the ground like a wooden stake.

After all, it involves the descent of a deity, and even for oneself, the body will still be extremely exhausted afterward.

But his consciousness was clear, and he could perceive the outside world; it was just that his body was unresponsive.

Therefore, the next moment, Ye Xiao felt a pair of warm arms catch his body, and then he was embraced in a soft embrace.

A faint scent of lavender wafted into his nostrils. He hadn't noticed the fragrance on the other person before, but now that he was completely immobilized, he could smell it to his heart's content.

Ella opened the door to the vicinity of the Duke's mansion. Through the view of the crows perched on the treetops, she only saw the small figure of the purple-haired girl holding Ye Xiao in her arms. When the wind swirled around them, they floated up lightly and flew into the sky.

The crow familiar could not possibly follow along; if it were discovered, it would be difficult to explain itself, and even if it wanted to, it couldn't keep up with the speed of the other party's flight with its wings.

From Ye Xiao's perspective, since his eyes were closed, he could only rely on passive perception to find out where Beller had taken him.

After a series of twists and turns, he could only vaguely make out that he had entered a room in a building.

Upon entering the room, Ye Xiao sensed that Beryl had stopped, making rustling noises as if fiddling with something. Then, he felt a small hand gently stroking his face.

"Hmm... Ye Xiao, you're awake?"

Ye Xiao was immediately startled. He was completely unable to move and was like a dead man. How could this Beryl know that he was awake?

"No, that won't do. My tone was too harsh. It's all that woman's fault..."

"Cough cough, um... Ye Xiao, you're awake?"

The girl repeated what she had just said, but this time her voice was much gentler and sweeter, unlike the coldness before—or to put it more simply, she had put it away.

"Uh, that seems too contrived... Let's try again, take a deep breath..."

"Ye Xiao, you're awake?"

This time, the voice wasn't strained as much, and it sounded much more natural.

But Ye Xiao was completely baffled.

Hey sis, what are you doing?

"Hmm, that's about right... He probably won't remember anything from before, so let's just tell him it was a dream, and that he just suddenly fainted in the hallway."

"No, no, no, fainting is such a stupid excuse... Oh, I've got it, I'll just say that Astra found out about him, came back to cause trouble for him, and I stopped him."

"Hehehe, maybe Ye Xiao will even thank me this way..."

Thank you so much, I feel like I'm completely grateful.

Ye Xiao couldn't hold back any longer. It would have been better if this girl hadn't been talking to herself, but instead, she kept muttering to herself, revealing all her little thoughts.

"Hey Ye Xiao, you probably won't notice if I sneak a kiss now, right?"

No?

Ye Xiao pondered that he, a dignified and elegant gentleman, had always been the one taking advantage of others in their time of need; this was the first time he had been taken advantage of in such a situation.

Sister, this isn't appropriate. We're not that close now, just colleagues at work. What you're doing is a bit overstepping your bounds.

"Ugh... Doing something like this at a time like this, don't you think I'm a pervert?"

That's true.

"Hehe, it's okay, you're asleep anyway."

Hey! I'm perfectly sober!

A soft, cool touch suddenly touched my forehead, followed by a girl's giggles.

“Hehehe…Hehehe!”

Hey!

Ye Xiao wanted to open his eyes and sternly rebuke the girl for her immoral behavior, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Sleeping so soundly, give me another kiss, just one more kiss."

Why are you so cunning! Okay, stop pecking, stop pecking, are you a woodpecker?

"Sigh... If only that wretched witch didn't exist."

After muttering a few words, the sentimental Miss Belle began to sigh again.

"Or, it would have been better if you hadn't joined the game in the first place."

"You don't know, my sister made a lot of money after she took over the company. If you weren't here, we could have gone on a trip together during the summer after the college entrance exam."

"Go to the mountain city, go to Dali, go to the water town... chat about life and dreams in the cafes of the ancient city, watch the sunrise and sunset by the sea, and wait for you to take my hand and count the stars in the sky..."

"There are so many places I want to go with you, so many things I want to do together..."

"Sigh... I wish I hadn't given you a beta test spot in the first place."

Chapter 138 Upgrade Plan

Are there any spots available for the closed beta test?

Ye Xiao suddenly caught a strange word.

“My father didn’t let us participate at the time, and I thought there was some reason... Who would have thought it would turn out like this.”

"Forget it, there's no point in saying all this now. The best thing is that you can come back with us safely...sigh..."

"Oh no, no, you said I look better when I smile, I can't keep sighing."

Two soft sounds, it seemed as if Miss Bellier was slapping her face.

"I'd better take a shower first... Oh, or you can come and shower with me, hehe."

Ah! Ye Xiao was startled.

"Forget it, what if I wake up halfway through and they really think I'm a pervert?"

Okay, at least you have some self-awareness.

As Ye Xiao was thinking this, she suddenly noticed that the other person reached out and slowly unbuttoned her clothes.

Ugh! What are they trying to do now?!

Ye Xiao's heart, which had finally been at ease, immediately jumped again.

Is this guy finally losing control and about to make a move?

"Hey..."

The girl's laughter this time was no longer sweet; instead, it had a slightly cheesy, masculine quality.

Fortunately, despite Ye Xiao's initial nervousness, she didn't do anything outrageous. She simply helped Ye Xiao remove his outer clothes and shoes and then laid him flat on a soft bed before leaving.

Although her little hand wasn't entirely well-behaved while she was taking off her clothes, thank goodness, Miss Bellier had already shown commendable restraint.

……

About ten minutes later.

Ye Xiao finally began to slowly regain control of her body.

He opened his eyes groggily and saw that he was indeed lying on a large bed.

The bed was made of light blue velvet, and the soft comforter still smelled of lavender.

A sheer bed canopy hung around the bed, and next to the large pillow at the head of the bed was a chubby teddy bear with large buttons for eyes.

Good heavens, where did this come from?

Looking at the cozy yet unfamiliar large room in front of him, Ye Xiao had originally thought he was in a hotel or a company headquarters, but he never expected that Bellier would move him directly into his home.

He turned his head and saw his coat hanging on the rack by the door. He quickly got off the bed, grabbed the coat, and put it on.

He hadn't changed his inner clothes or trousers, and to be honest, they were a bit dirty after all the commotion at the Duke's mansion and in the North.

Therefore, there were quite a few stains from his clothes on that clean and tidy bed, which made Ye Xiao feel somewhat apologetic.

He wouldn't mind if the other person just threw it on the floor.

"click"

Just then, the door to the room was pushed open, and a purple-haired girl wearing a thin bathrobe walked in while whistling.

The two locked eyes, and the air fell silent for a few seconds.

"Hey! Leaf leaf leaf leaf..."

A blush suddenly appeared on Beller's face, and she subconsciously wrapped her hands tightly around the bathrobe around her chest.

Wait, this guy can be shy? Then he seems to be quite mentally normal most of the time.

Ye Xiao was thinking this when he saw Bellier blush for a while after wrapping himself tightly in his bathrobe. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up and he pulled his bathrobe open with both hands.

Hello! !

In a flash, Ye Xiao rushed forward and grabbed the bathrobe the other person was trying to open at the last second.

"Please maintain your ladylike composure, Miss Belle."

"Cough cough..."

Perhaps realizing that her behavior was inappropriate, the girl stopped insisting on keeping her bathrobe open and instead grabbed an outer garment from the side and draped it over herself.

"You're awake."

"Um……"

Ye Xiao nodded, feigning a slightly bewildered look, a hint of wariness in her eyes, "Where is this...?"

"my room."

Beller smiled. "Remember when you impersonated Astra at the Duke's mansion to attend a meeting with the Duke, and Astra discovered you and knocked you unconscious with divine magic?"

"……is that so?"

Ye Xiao frowned, deliberately questioning first, "But I seem to remember it being you..."

"Astra is a god who controls the mind. If you are attacked, some broken and unreal memories will appear in your mind."

Beryl quickly interrupted Ye Xiao and said fluently.

“There might be some hallucinations of me in there, because I was the one who stopped Miss Astra for you... but those hallucinations are all fake.”

She smiled and gripped Ye Xiao's collar tightly with both hands.

"You know what, it's all fake."

"Thank you."

Ye Xiao gave an awkward smile and tried her best to cooperate with the other party's performance.

However, it's clear to anyone with a discerning eye that his acting was actually quite clumsy, mainly because it was a bit too complicated. He couldn't imagine what kind of emotions he should express in this situation—whether he should laugh, be wary, or be angry.

Fortunately, Miss Bellier did not doubt Ye Xiao at all, and after seeing that Ye Xiao agreed with her statement, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"There are probably many things you don't quite understand about what we talked about during your meeting with the Duke. Let me explain them to you simply."

It was rare for Beller to take the initiative to get down to business; it seemed she really didn't want to see Ella again and was very true to her promise.

"really,"

Ye Xiao nodded and stopped talking nonsense. "What exactly is that upgrade plan?"

"That is actually our final plan to fight against the world-destroying witch."

……

Perhaps because Ye Xiao was sitting opposite him, Beryl spoke very patiently and in great detail.

Simply put, "Upgrade Plan" is the code name for the company's final plan to fight the Chaos Goddess "Ayla Havil" around the seven Tomb of Life.

Currently, the company and the Dark Shepherds have acquired control of five Tomb of Life locations: the Magala Sea, the Elf Mother Tree, the Tedhe North Ridge, the Blazing Sun Desert, and the Southern Continent.
