The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Chapter 179 Forgotten Matters

From the conversations among the executives, Mo Feng now knows that Astra the Starweaver is an ancient god who holds the power over the mind.

But Mo Feng knew very little about either Anshapukalong's disappearance or the matter of Luo Yuan and the dragon girl.

Astra had clearly anticipated this, as her divine mind-view could realistically recreate the scene that the target was recalling while speaking. However, because of this, she didn't ask too many questions and quickly ended the matter.

After all, the interrogation and forced confession did happen, and Astra herself knew that revealing the truth would be detrimental to her.

The matter was ultimately left unresolved, and the executives subsequently discussed forming a special investigation team to follow up on the incident.

As for whether the attackers achieved their goal and found the person they were looking for, Mo Feng wasn't sure; the situation was still under investigation.

But this was ultimately something the executives had to consider. After clearing herself of suspicion, she was able to return and reunite with Raymond and the others.

"I heard that the Starweavers are planning to sabotage you?"

Raymond and Dashan were quite loyal; even though it was late, they waited in the lobby downstairs for their teammates to return.

"Thanks to Miss Moon Guardian's help."

Mo Feng sighed with lingering fear, "I almost got seriously hurt by those bastards."

"However, we will have a reason to refuse private investigations in the future. Those Starweavers will definitely not let this go, so everyone has to be careful."

Raymond nodded.

"Speaking of Brother Kalon... do we really not know where he went?"

Mo Feng asked again, "They all say he's a traitor, but without Kalong, we'd probably all have died at Gray Peak Pass."

Raymond paused for a moment, then said, "I can't draw a conclusion either. Since Kalon hasn't appeared, we can't refute this claim."

"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but it feels like there are a lot fewer people."

Mo Feng looked around. "There were four of us when we came, but now there are only..."

"There are still three left,"

Raymond glanced at Mo Feng with surprise. "I understand you're in a good mood for literature, but this way of putting it makes it seem like the whole team has fallen apart, especially since Kalon is the only one here."

"Eh."

Mo Feng suddenly paused, "Oh right, why did I say that?"

"You're asking me that?"

Raymond couldn't help but give him a look that said, "Look at me like I'm an idiot."

"But I clearly remember... wait? There were only four of us when we came here?"

The orange-haired girl rubbed her temples.

"Otherwise, who else could it be: you, me, Dashan, Kalong, or anyone else?"

Raymond raised an eyebrow. "Are you too tired? Go home and get some rest."

"But……"

Miss Mofeng had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

As she thought about it more carefully, she gradually felt a little dizzy.

"Hmm... never mind, I'd better go back to sleep. Too much happened today, I might be a little confused."

……

That night.

In the White Tower of the Holy City, Ye Xiao was still sitting at his desk in his bedroom, looking at the report spread out on the table.

He placed Ella on his lap, as if hugging a soft pillow, and gently stroked the petite girl's smooth, milky silver hair as he pondered.

It's rare for the two of them to be alone, so there aren't many complicated things to do. Since it's just the two of them, they can do whatever makes them comfortable.

The little girl always looks slender and slim, but when you hold her in your arms, you realize she's surprisingly chubby.

She would occasionally rub her jelly-like belly, while her soft, delicate little feet, encased in long white cotton socks, roamed between her legs.

Lowering his head to touch the girl's slightly flushed, warm cheek was probably the happiest thing at that moment.

Ella nestled in the strong arms, her pair of bright red fox eyes exuding charm as her hair swayed. She delicately placed her small hand on the back of the other's hand, and her pink tongue involuntarily licked the corner of her mouth.

"Hmm, haven't you gained a little weight compared to before?"

But Ye Xiao's mutterings behind her abruptly shattered the ambiguous atmosphere. Ella was stunned. Although she knew very well that these were her own unconscious words, she still opened her mouth and lightly bit the other's arm in dissatisfaction.

It's hard to understand why Ye Xiaolian has a habit of talking nonsense when she's with him. They clearly share the same mindset and know what they need to do, but Ye Xiaolian still occasionally loses control, which is really hard to bear.

As punishment, the other body should pay a friend's fee tonight.

After all, you've been hugging each other for so long; mutual fulfillment is the true essence of a lasting relationship.

Thinking this, a mischievous smile appeared on Ella's cute little face, and she grabbed Ye Xiao's big hand with both hands like a hamster.

……

Day two.

In the Throne Council Hall, the priests, as always, stood in the main hall and bowed respectfully to the saint in white robes seated on the throne.

Whether it was a misperception or not, the officials felt that the Holy Maiden looked much healthier than usual during their prayers.

The little silver-haired girl sat tall and proud in the hall, her slightly upturned lips as she looked down at the priest adding a touch of kindness and gentleness to her holy and majestic demeanor.

Meanwhile, in Aslan Leonia, at the temporary hideout of the Holy Light Revelation Society.

Ye Xiao was leaning against the corridor wall with one hand and touching her lower back with the other. Her steps were unsteady and shaky, and she was still a little out of sorts.

Hard to imagine.

Why is it that even after advancing to the transcendent level, I am still no match for a mere degenerated Ella?

Even the mighty Greedy Demon Goddess Greedy was easily subdued by him, so his physical abilities must be quite good, right?

Ye Xiao was speechless. He thought that he had finally been able to turn the tables and take control after his hard-won advancement, but the two dark circles under his eyes and his trembling legs were telling him how powerless he was.

In the end, he was careless. Despite her small body, she possessed great energy. Even if Ella looked weak, she was not an opponent he could underestimate.

"Hey, good morning, Brother Ye!"

Li Cheng's voice came from behind.

Although he sustained some injuries from yesterday's battle, they were only minor scratches thanks to the healing water at the sanctuary.

Therefore, after resting for half a day, he and Elon volunteered to return to Leonia to continue the war effort. However, Kui Zi still needed to rest and recuperate. For him, who did not have much experience in high-intensity combat, the scene in Hub Town was still too exciting.

Elon was also beside Li Cheng, greeting Ye Xiao, "Good morning, you dead-fish-eyed young man..."

When Ye Xiao turned around upon hearing the voice, he was immediately startled. "Hey, what's going on, young man?! Did that evil god of the Dark Shepherd cast a curse on you during yesterday's battle?! What a vicious method!"

"No no,"

Ye Xiao quickly waved her hand, "It's just heartbreak."

Chapter 180 The Difficult Problem of Breaking the Stalemate

"That's an exaggeration, Brother Ye."

Even Li Cheng was startled by Ye Xiao's appearance. "Why don't you go back to your room and rest? I'll organize the meeting report for you in a bit."

"It's alright, it's alright."

Ye Xiao hurriedly waved his hand, but his weak tone made it hard to feel at ease.

……

However, when he arrived at the conference room, Greta, who was jealous and knew exactly what had happened at a glance, was much more vocal than the slightly surprised looks of his colleagues from the Revelation Society.

"Ah!!! Sneaking food! You actually stole food behind my back!!!"

The chubby kitten jumped onto Ye Xiao and rolled around, leaving patches of golden fur stuck to his black trench coat.

"How awful! I'm working for you even after turning into a cat, and you're doing this kind of thing?!"

"Eat on the sly?"

Susie Yun, standing to the side, looked confused; the naive girl didn't quite understand what Greta meant.

"It's this guy... Awoooooo..."

The cat opened its mouth as if to speak, but Ye Xiao immediately stuffed two fingers into its mouth to stop it from saying anything.

In front of everyone, Ye Xiao couldn't let her talk nonsense.

The Demon Cat's language system is a bit different from that of ordinary people; it wouldn't be good if it suddenly spouted some abstract words.

"Ahem, yesterday's battle was a bit intense and left some aftereffects. We'll talk about that later... Qianyun, let's talk about the progress on your side yesterday first."

Despite her loud and boisterous manner, Greta was actually quite obedient. Her little tiger teeth only left a few light scratches on the back of the other person's hand before she angrily tucked her hands into her pockets and curled up in Ye Xiao's arms.

"good."

Ye Xiao patted the other person's round head to comfort them, then nodded to Su Qianyun, indicating that the meeting could begin normally.

Getting back to the main point, with the help of Sivirif, the Holy Light Revelation Society successfully established this hidden stronghold in Leonia.

This is a secluded manor located in the eastern part of the city. It is said that it was originally taken over by a friend from the south in Severif. The plan was to move into the capital in June, but a few days ago, the southern province was hit by war, and the friend died. As a result, the manor was left vacant.

The members of the Holy Light Revelation Society then disguised themselves as friends' families and retinues to move in. Of course, they didn't just swagger in through the main gate; instead, they used a portal inside to send people over in batches.

To the occasional passerby, it seemed as if a few more people were tending to the flowerbeds in the courtyard of this usually deserted manor.

At the meeting, since Li Cheng was in charge of leading the reconnaissance team that was investigating the upgrade plan yesterday, the Revelation Society handed over Su Xiyun as the commander-in-chief.

She was formerly the leader of "Sword and Rose," a large player guild in the Royal City of Loren. At that time, she managed far more people than Li Cheng. It was only because Ye Xiao poached her that she ran away.

However, in terms of command and coordination, she was no weaker than Li Cheng. After Ella appointed her, many of the Loren players had heard of her reputation and were convinced of her abilities and willing to follow her orders.

In contrast, Ye Xiao is not well-known. He usually goes out on field missions or special operations alone. Apart from the original members of the Seven Luminaries Society, many new players do not have a deep impression of him.

Therefore, Ms. Su simply chaired the meeting and also explained their actions on the other side yesterday.

Besides establishing strongholds, yesterday the players secretly investigated various noble factions that could be recruited, based on the list provided by Sivirif.

However, many nobles who should have belonged to the faction of the First or Second Prince now support the newly appointed Silvana.

At least so far, no suitable breakthrough has been found.

"However, this is only the first day. Silvana is riding high, and with no news from other royal descendants, even if there are families that oppose us, they are unlikely to show any obvious opposition."

Severif explained, "I have already had people spread rumors about Princess Serendra among the people, and we will observe the reactions of the nobles in the capital."

"Ah."

Ye Xiao stroked his chin. "If there are too many obstacles inside the capital, could you give me some names? I'll contact my spies outside the capital to make some targeted moves."

"Is this guy a contact for external spies?"

Severif looked at Ye Xiao and nodded, "Then perhaps we can try contacting the Second Ocean Legion at the Breathless Fortress. With Princess Selindra's decree, I should be able to persuade Lady Lenas..."

As he spoke, Severif stared at Ye Xiao's face and suddenly paused, "Um, wait a minute, brother, why do I feel like you look a little familiar?"

"how?"

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow. At first, he thought that Severif had recognized him as Professor Worthy Brandon, who had previously mingled with the academy's group. But looking at Severif's complicated gaze, he realized that it might not be him.

"..."

Severif remained silent for a long time, then reached into his pocket and pulled out a roll of parchment, which he then unfolded.

It was a wanted poster with a circular target drawn on it, and a disheveled, unruly face was prominently displayed on it, with a reward of 100,000 written below.

"Oh!"

Ye Xiao patted his head, finally remembering, "I almost forgot about this."

After that, Ye Xiao talked with Sivirif, who had suddenly drawn his sword, for a long time before finally calming him down and explaining the matter of the Seven Seas Capital's assassination attempt on the Third Prince.

However, contacting the Second Ocean Legion was eventually put on the agenda. Even though distant water might not be able to quench immediate thirst, it was one of the few potential allies that could be won over at the moment.

Despite progress in intelligence gathering, breaking through the enemy's powerful forces in the imperial city remains a major challenge for them.

The factions within the Imperial City were consolidated by Silvana more solidly than expected, with top-tier combatants including corporate executives and apostles of the Dark Shepherds, none of whom were easy to deal with.
