The Villain Saint is my secondary account

It's common for ordinary gangs to experience leadership changes or internal strife, but this gang might be involved with the Seven Stars Society, so they can't afford to be indifferent.

But it was no use. The fishermen's association's territory was spread throughout the entire harbor area. Large and small slums and basements stretched along the coastal hills, and there were fishing docks and boats everywhere, as well as unidentified illegal workers.

Those who escaped from the Dead Sea prison and the Seven Luminaries Society scattered and hid within it, like drops of water flowing into the ocean. Even if a few search teams searched every house in this crowded and chaotic slum, they could not find any clues, which instead aroused the dissatisfaction of the fishermen.

However, under such strict search conditions, it was naturally inconvenient to relocate the large troops stranded in the suburbs outside the city. Fortunately, this did not hinder Ella's next plan.

The only thing that gave her a headache was that her attendants hadn't come from the camp, and she was having some trouble with her own grooming.

Although Ella is naturally beautiful, her natural look, with no makeup, gives her a pure yet charming cuteness, but she always seems a bit out of place when she doesn't dress up at all.

Not to mention that they were going to the Ocean Cathedral in the southern district to meet the bishop there.

From Ye Xiao's perspective, it wasn't a big deal, but from Ella's perspective, it made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

This conflicting feeling swirled in Ye Xiao's mind, eventually leading him to sneak into the room and pick up a bunch of cosmetics from the dressing table that he didn't quite understand, trying to apply makeup to Ella.

They were currently on the rooftop of a guild hideout disguised as a residential house, situated diagonally on a broad, gentle hillside.

The second-floor flat, being for Ella's use, was also meticulously and neatly maintained. From the window, one could see rows of bungalows stretching down to the foot of the mountain, with seagulls occasionally perching on the undulating, painted rooftops.

In the distance, the azure ocean blends with the sky, and boats drift on the shimmering waves. The beautiful and pleasant seaside morning scenery may make one mistakenly encounter a resort in Sicily, another time and space.

Ye Xiao, who was inside the room, looked at Ella's delicate and beautiful face and felt at a loss. He felt that every bit of powder he tried to put on the girl's face was like ruining a near-perfect work of art.

After trying to apply some powder, Ella's beautiful cheeks in the mirror ended up with uneven shades of pink on both sides due to Ye Xiao's clumsy attempt.

Looking at his terrible cooking skills, Ye Xiao felt a strange urge to laugh, but Ella involuntarily pouted, looking a little annoyed.

This immediately surprised Ella again—it was the same person, yet two bodies could have different emotions about the same thing.

Am I developing a schizophrenia?

Ella and Ye Xiao exchanged glances, but Ye Xiao couldn't help but laugh when he saw the powder on Ella's face up close. From Ella's perspective, her own appearance was quite irritating.

Forget it, let's not bother with this.

Ye Xiao eventually dutifully brought over a basin of clean water and gently wiped away the oil and powder from Ella's face with a towel. Even without makeup, it was better than having a smeared face.

While wiping her face with a towel, Ye Xiao looked closely at the girl's fair face, which was still so delicate. Her crystal-like eyes had long eyelashes that fluttered slightly with her thin eyelids. If he got closer, he could even feel the warm breath coming from her pink nose.

Since the two didn't need to speak, the atmosphere in the quiet room became somewhat subtle.

Perhaps feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at like that, even by herself, Ella's cheeks flushed slightly, which, combined with her slightly pursed lips, made her even more alluring.

Upon witnessing this scene, Ye Xiao's heart inexplicably trembled, and he involuntarily stopped what he was doing.

Then, he suddenly remembered what he hadn't been able to accomplish at the Tide Merchant Guild's mansion last time.

Should we... try again? In this secluded little house, no one will bother us again.

Thinking about this, Ye Xiao's heart pounded even harder, but correspondingly, a sense of tension and...excitement welled up inside him.

After so many days, he had long since gotten used to Ella's appearance, unlike at the beginning when he subconsciously resisted her, seeing her as the world-destroying witch from his previous life.

As the saying goes, familiarity breeds fondness, and Ye Xiao can hardly be sure whether he has truly developed feelings for this girl he sees every day.

Of course, it's also possible that he's simply infatuated with pretty girls, Ye Xiao unconsciously reflected.

But that's alright, who doesn't yearn for beautiful things? If Ella were to be changed into an ordinary, unremarkable appearance, she certainly wouldn't want that.

So, having successfully convinced himself that he was just a scumbag eager to try his luck, and not Ye Xiao with some strange interest, he gently placed his hand on Ella's fair and slender shoulder and put his arm around her proud swan neck.

Finally, they kissed.

"Mmm...!" A pleasant murmur rang in my ear, and a soft touch accompanied by a subtle jasmine fragrance that melted on my lips.

The initial tension of a heart pounding was eased by their close cooperation; the restless heart seemed to be soothed by an invisible hand, becoming calm and lingering.

A blush crept onto the cheeks of the usually proud young woman, like a spoonful of rouge poured into a clear, cold pool, stirring up the chill but adding a touch of spring.

Like a crabapple blossom half-hidden, her red eyes narrowed slightly, the cunning of the past melting into a captivating tenderness and shyness, all hidden beneath a few strands of messy silver hair, making her a sight to behold and inspiring tenderness.

Then, a pair of slender, soft hands, as if in perfect unison, wrapped around Ye Xiao's back and gently embraced him, as if a captivating trap had completely ensnared him.

To facilitate concealment under the cloak, the girl's close-fitting top felt like delicate skin to the touch, and her slender feet, wrapped in black silk beneath her skirt, were slightly raised, hooking onto the legs of another body.

The small wooden chair creaked softly as the two bodies intertwined. Ella's first kiss caught him off guard, yet it felt perfectly natural.

Then, of course, the two simply gave each other a hug.

The reasons for this include the important matters that need to be done at present, which make it unsuitable to spend too much time, as well as some unspeakable external factors.

But finally, Ella faced her own feelings, or rather, Ye Xiao finally realized that he did indeed have some feelings for Ella.

Although Ella had always found it somewhat strange that she liked herself, she was now used to having two selves. Could she really give herself to someone else? — Forget it, just thinking about it felt abstract.

Thinking about it this way, it seems like I've gained another excuse to justify my actions.

Still wanting more, Ella tidied her slightly messy hair. Ye Xiao, whose face was also slightly flushed, gathered her long silver hair behind the chair, gently combed it, and then picked up a dark black hair ribbon and tied it into a beautiful knot.

Even now, just feeling the soft strands of hair slip through his fingers stirs up some waves in Ye Xiao's heart as he tries to calm himself down.

It's truly irresistible; this intoxicating sweetness is simply irresistible.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but sigh, this little vixen was such a charming beauty that even he found it hard to resist.

To alleviate the rising heat, Ye Xiao chose to look out the window.

Look at the azure sea, the rushing crowds, and the adorable little cat with its wide-open eyes on the windowsill.

Wait a minute... when did this little cat with wide eyes appear?

Chapter Sixty-Six: The Maid Doesn't Understand

"Holy crap!?" Ye Xiao exclaimed in surprise.

"Eek!!!" But the kitten was even more frightened than him, letting out a sharp scream and slipping on its limbs as it tried to fall onto the windowsill.

Fortunately, Ye Xiao reacted quickly and caught the cat's soft belly, preventing the little guy from falling off the windowsill.

Although the height of two floors probably wouldn't cause any harm to a dignified demon god, she would definitely blame Ye Xiao for the pain she felt later.

Yes, this round-faced golden kitten is none other than Greta.

Ye Xiao caught the chubby little cat in her arms, but the cat didn't appreciate it. Its fur bristled, and it leaped from Ye Xiao's arms into the air, landing on the dressing table beside her with a snarling expression: "You...you...you've become this woman's slave after just one day without me watching you!!!"

"What the hell is a slave?" Ye Xiao couldn't hold back anymore. Although it was embarrassing for him to be seen doing this, it was his shame. Why was this little guy so excited? "By the way, when did you arrive? Weren't you supposed to stay at the camp with your best friend?"

"It's because I'm afraid you'll be smitten by this woman... Don't change the subject, you've completely fallen for her!!!" The kitten jumped back and forth between Ye Xiao and the dressing table, repeatedly leaping up and then hitting Ye Xiao's chest with its hind paws, "So annoying!!!"

Ye Xiao couldn't quite figure out what this strange yet powerless attack was. It certainly wasn't normal cat behavior. The paw pads only felt soft against him. "Okay, stop bumping me, be good."

"You still say she's not your girlfriend! You still say they're just friends! Men are all liars!!!"

"That's what I said before," Ye Xiao said with an embarrassed smile, scratching his head. "Now... now it should be considered that."

"You're still laughing!!!" The kitten shrieked and rolled around on the table, "Clearly..."

...What do you mean, "clearly"? The kitten paused for a moment.

It seems like she wasn't the one who arrived first, and she didn't seem to have clearly expressed anything, so how did things develop to this point...? It seems reasonable, doesn't it?

...No way! If that makes sense, then wouldn't I be the idiot?!

I don't care!!!

"Wah—!" The cat chose to abandon reason and started crying.

The commotion attracted several eager stray cats to the windowsill, who peered into the house.

Greta noticed it too, and immediately shouted angrily out the window, "What are you looking at?! Get out!"

The stray cats then fled as fast as they could.

Then, she was about to shout, but when she caught sight of Ye Xiao suppressing a laugh, she immediately became furious, "You're still laughing!!!"

"No, I... haha... cough cough!!" Although he knew that Greta seemed to be trying to convey her resentment to him, Ye Xiao really couldn't hold back when he saw the little cat's silly appearance.

Finally, after a while, perhaps Ye Xiao's constant stroking and soothing had an effect, or perhaps Greta finally remembered her true self, she finally calmed down her agitated emotions and sat upright with her two front paws tucked in, although her round body still seemed to be bulging with anger.

Ye Xiao carefully stroked the cat's head. This guy is cute and cuddly now, but he might not be so cute and cuddly again once he returns to his original state. He still has to be respectful.

But most importantly, Greta did help him a lot. If it weren't for her keeping her promise to him and standing up to fight that fake saintess, Kirimura wouldn't be in her current state.

This little one actually put in a lot of effort, but Ye Xiao's help to her, apart from disrupting the ritual of the God of Evolution, doesn't seem to be much.

So even though the little maid who had turned into a cat was quite noisy, Ye Xiao still took good care of Greta.

Moreover, and more importantly, although the little guy was being noisy, he didn't use magic to cause destruction or do anything; he was just making a fuss, which was inexplicably cute.

But there was still one thing Ye Xiao didn't understand.

"So, I still don't understand why you're so angry?" Ye Xiao asked frankly. He felt that speaking evasively to Greta might only make her angrier.

"You...you don't understand yourself!?"

"Um, I really don't know. You can't possibly like me, can you?" Ye Xiao said, expressing her guess.

"How...how could this be? You foolish human!!!"

“So,” Ye Xiao shrugged, “we have to be honest, otherwise how can we resolve the conflict between us?”

"you you……"

The kitten knew that Ye Xiao's words made sense, and paced back and forth on the table.

At the very beginning, when they first met in that underground arena, Greta was just a little curious about the origins of this arrogant guy who suddenly barged into her box.

Despite being a traveler from another world, he worshipped an unknown god and received no benefit from the god. Yet, when faced with the temptation of being chosen by the god, he was able to refuse without hesitation.

After most people unintentionally discover her true nature, they either worship her out of fear or reveal their greed for higher-dimensional power.

This includes, but is not limited to, the subordinates she recruited into the society. They are convenient to use as tools, and they burn quite vigorously when thrown into hell as fuel.

But as a soul, she had no interest in understanding those monotonous appearances and eyes filled with desire, regardless of their strength.

Therefore, at first she just wanted to follow along and see what this slightly different soul that had suddenly intruded was.

Then she realized that it actually seemed kind of interesting.

From the Colosseum to Hope Town, this guy struggles in all sorts of desperate situations and often teeters on the brink of death for unknown reasons, but he doesn't seem to be doing it for anything. It seems that he is just trying to redeem some souls that have nothing to do with him.

One who moves forward not out of greed and desire, but purely to protect the existing soul.

So Greta got the idea. It wasn't that she was interested in how strong he was; she just thought that he might be quite unique as part of her collection.

And so they chased after him all the way, from Hope Town to Five Fingers Bar, from the Imperial City to Storm Harbor, using all sorts of methods, but it seemed like they couldn't fool this blockhead no matter what they did.

But those little trips with this guy were inexplicably interesting.

As time went on, and when this guy was no longer around, she unexpectedly discovered that once he was gone, everything around her became boring again, so boring that she didn't want to put any effort into it. She didn't want to say a word about her boring subordinates and their boring souls.

She seems to have gotten used to joking around with this guy.

But of course, she... she certainly doesn't like this stinky man. How could she possibly like a stinky man!

Greta always felt that she was just greedy, after all, she was the Goddess of Greed, and all she wanted was to possess this guy's soul and make him her servant!

She was one of the most powerful primordial demons in Hell. How could a demon like her be bound by love, a pointless product imagined by cowardly mortals for the purpose of reproduction?

While thinking this way, Greta completely forgot about how she had previously exploited the players in the guild to draw romance comics for her, and how she had enjoyed reading them.

But... if he's just a mere servant, it doesn't seem like it should make her so indignant...?

Just because this guy has gained a god to serve? The kitten looked at Ella to the side, and Ella returned her a gentle smile.

"Hmph, you bad woman!" The kitten immediately turned its head away.

The cat's little brain was working at lightning speed, but she couldn't come up with a good answer right away, or rather, she didn't know what the answer was.

So, the cunning kitten decided to throw the question directly at Ye Xiao, "Then... what do you think of me?"

"How do you see it?" Ye Xiao looked at the little guy's cat-like face and subconsciously wanted to answer "as a pet," but the quick-witted man immediately realized that this answer would bring him an unnecessary calamity in his life, so he tentatively replied, "Um... as a friend?"

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Cat Taming Master

To be honest, Ye Xiao would sometimes unconsciously pat the little maid's head, but it was more like the kind of impulse that comes from seeing a cute creature and wanting to rub it.

To be honest, it probably doesn't count as love, especially since he already has Ella, or rather, Ella has him? ... Anyway, although Ye Xiao likes all the beautiful girls, being promiscuous is not advisable. Therefore, calling it "love" would definitely not be a responsible answer for this little guy.
