The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"Ah..." Skadi seemed to realize something only now, "Sorry! Sorry! I was a little flustered because things happened so suddenly..."

Although Skadi felt a little wronged by Ye Xiao's tone, she also realized that she had indeed been impolite.

However, what she had just learned was so shocking that she rushed over in such a hurry that she forgot about necessary etiquette.

"It's alright, Your Highness. Why don't you wait for me outside while I change my clothes..." Ye Xiao's forehead was sweating and his voice was trembling. There was no other reason than the soft touch of the girl clinging tightly to him in the quilt, accompanied by the faint scent of jasmine, which was stimulating his tense nerves like a high-voltage current.

Using Lucyville's Wings to initiate teleportation requires drawing a portal with your hand, while the Miracles' Shifting Phantom has a casting animation and its spatial magic covers and transfers everything the body is in close contact with, thus avoiding the awkward situation where the person is teleported but the clothes are not.

But these two minor restrictions, which usually don't need much attention, now prevented Ella, huddled under the covers, from launching her attack silently under Skadi's nose.

In the sweltering heat, Ella's flushed face pressed against that firm chest.

To keep quiet, the girl's long, soft breaths brushed against Ye Xiao's neck, causing a slight, warm tickle. To remain still and prevent Skadi from noticing anything amiss, her long, slender, and soft legs, clad in white silk, involuntarily tightened slightly due to nervousness.

Oh my god, what is this little devil doing under the covers!

This made Ye Xiao's mind, which had finally managed to calm down, even more chaotic, and he forgot that Ella's actions were essentially done by him.

They are thinking the same thing, but their actions are now like a cat fighting with its own tail, going their separate ways in chaos.

"But... it's not convenient to say this outside if there are too many people around," Skadi said, pursing her lips. "By the way, are you really okay? Your face is so red, are you running a fever?"

As she spoke, Skadi reached out to touch Ye Xiao's forehead.

"No, no! Really, no!" Ye Xiao was about to burst out laughing when Skadi approached. "Your Highness, please go outside and wait for me to change my clothes, just for a moment!"

A thin blanket separated heaven and hell; Ye Xiao never imagined that one day she would experience such abstract torment in her life.

"Uh, okay." Skadi was a little confused, feeling that Ye Xiao was acting a little strange but she couldn't quite put her finger on why. "Then I'll wait for you outside. I'm sorry for bothering you, but this matter is really important."

"It's alright, Your Highness. As long as you go out first, I'll chat with you until the end of time..." Ye Xiao's speech was starting to become somewhat incoherent.

Fortunately, Skadi nodded slightly and then turned and left the room.

Chapter Sixty-Three: The Friendship of Gentlemen

My God.

Only after seeing Skadi leave the room and close the door did Ye Xiao's tense nerves relax slightly.

"Oh my god, I'm so nervous!" said the kitten beside her, its big, round eyes bulging as it patted its chest with its paw.

"You have the nerve to say that?" Ye Xiao angrily smacked the kitten's head. "Go and lock the door, lest she suddenly come in and say she forgot something or something..."

Ye Xiao had seen similar plots in some melodramatic TV dramas before. He used to laugh at the abstractness of the storylines when he watched them, but it wasn't so funny when it actually happened to him.

The kitten stuck out its tongue, jumped off the bed, wiggled its little belly, and ran to the door. It lightly jumped up and turned the knob with its paw to lock the door from the inside.

"Huff—" Ye Xiao, covered in sweat, threw off the blanket and gently pressed the girl's soft, boneless shoulders, pushing her off him.

With a rosy complexion, Ella didn't say anything more and quickly drew a spatial rift and rushed in.

Then Ye Xiao shakily got out of bed, tightened his belt, picked up the coat hanging on the rack, and put it on.

Then, he picked up the staff leaning against the headboard and poured a splash of water on his face. The cool, refreshing touch finally calmed his feverish brain.

"Defying the heavens..." Ye Xiao commented on what had just happened.

However, as his rationality gradually returned, despite some unexpected twists of fate, he realized that he was indeed somewhat... infatuated with Ella.

Calming down, he thought that perhaps no matter what, after finishing what he was doing, he really would have to take advantage of his free time later to get his hands on that little vixen.

Well, they've already established their relationship, so what's he still being so hesitant about?

He had been dealing with too many things lately and hadn't had a chance to seriously think about this matter. But this unexpected turn of events allowed him to confront his own feelings.

After all, Ye Xiao wasn't some innocent young man. Haha, he was just Ella. It would be too stupid of him to let his mind wander and become sluggish just because he was thinking about these things!

Hmm... I did this for the sake of a clear mind; it's the enlightenment of a sage! As the saying goes, "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart..."

While making excuses to deceive her dishonest heart, Ye Xiao straightened her clothes, put on her outdoor shoes, picked up the chubby golden retriever and hoisted it onto her shoulder. "Speaking of which, I see you're quite thin in human form, so why do you look so chubby in cat form? Is it because you have big breasts?"

"Don't you listen to what you're saying?!" Greta Adam immediately punched Ye Xiao twice in the face.

Ye Xiao coughed twice and touched his face, suddenly realizing that when a person's brain is occupied with thinking about things related to genes and life sciences, what they say may not be thought through.

Forget about Ella for now, let's see what the eldest princess is trying to say to me.

When Ye Xiao left, he didn't forget to take the strange demon statue with him—since he was going out anyway, he might as well investigate this thing while he was at it.

As for my roommate, I've already knocked off the lock on his suitcase, so he'll find out no matter what. I might as well just ignore him.

However, the moment he turned the doorknob, another question suddenly popped into Ye Xiao's head—seriously, am I playing both sides?

"Oh, you've changed your clothes, Ye Xiao." The eldest princess, who was guarding the door, noticed that the door behind her had been opened, so she turned around and looked at Ye Xiao, giving him a slightly apologetic smile. "I'm sorry for disturbing you just now. I was really in a hurry and accidentally did something so rude."

Looking at the blonde girl's pretty face with its still somewhat childish smile, Ye Xiao felt a strange sense of guilt rising in his heart for some reason.

"Hmph, what a scumbag with a terrible conscience." A barely audible voice rang out, seemingly echoing Ye Xiao's inner thoughts.

"Huh? Who's talking?" Skadi looked around in confusion.

Ye Xiao rubbed the little cat's shoulder, who had just made a sound, and said irritably, "It's alright, it's alright. But this is ultimately a man's room. It would be a bit inappropriate for Your Highness to come in. We'd better find another place to discuss this."

"Huh?" Skadi paused, then seemed to realize something, noticing the curious glances directed at them from all around the corridor. "Oh, I don't really care, anyway, I've always..."

"No, no, this concerns His Highness's reputation, so it still matters."

It's hard to explain what subtle psychological factors were at play, but Ye Xiao has now started to think considerately of the eldest princess.

The two people and the cat eventually found a small lounge near the dormitory building, and Ye Xiao even used the lounge's teapot to make Skadi a simple cup of tea.

This was the first time Skadi had ever seen Ye Xiaozhen serve her tea like a servant. A slight blush rose on her face, as if she were flattered.

However, if she knew the real reason, she would probably be shocked.

After pouring a cup of tea and setting up a soundproofing array covering the entire lounge with his staff, Ye Xiao sat down on the sofa opposite Skadi and looked at her, saying, "So, Your Highness, what was it that you wanted to discuss with me?"

Skadi picked up the steaming cup of black tea and took a sip. She was surprised to find that Ye Xiao's tea-making skills were actually quite good, so delicate that it was really inconsistent with his identity as an adventurer.

Of course, this actually originated from Ella's tea ceremony. As a noblewoman of Loren, the skills of tasting and brewing tea were also a required course. Ye Xiao just borrowed it for use.

"Do you remember Uncle Isaac Eugene, whom I introduced to you at the palace this afternoon?"

"I remember him, that guard commander with the long face, what happened to him?" Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow.

“He just rushed to the manor area to find me,” Skadi said, stroking the outside of her teacup with her fingers. “He said it was something very important, and after thinking about it for a long time, he decided he still had to tell me.”

"what's up?"

“He said that my brother, Evans, was the murderer of my father.”

Ye Xiao's eyelid twitched almost imperceptibly.

What do you mean?

Evans is connected to the old king's death. This wasn't surprising to Ye Xiao after hearing Ella and Prince Raymond's discussion at the ball in the auditorium.

Why did he bring this up with His Highness at this time?

But what is it that Isaac, Evans's lackey, is trying to do by suddenly telling Skadi this thing after Evans has become king?

“That’s what I asked him too,” Skadi replied. “I said, regardless of whether this is true or not, what are you trying to say by suddenly bringing this up with me at this time?”

He said that he had been entrusted by his father, the king, to take care of me.

"But now he may not be able to fulfill this request."

"Because he will reveal this tomorrow during his brother Evans' coronation ceremony. And after that, whatever the outcome, his fate is predictable."

Chapter Sixty-Four Unusual Memories

"He's been keeping this to himself and didn't intend to say it, but today he saw me getting so close to a commoner... Of course, I don't mean to belittle you, Ye Xiao, it's just that he said he really had to remind me."

Listening to Princess Skadi's detailed explanation, Ye Xiao finally understood what she meant.

The commander of the royal guard, Isaac Eugene, wants to reveal the plot of Prince Evans' assassination of the old king at tomorrow's coronation ceremony.

He did not say where or how he obtained this information, but in any case, after bringing this up, he, as a former member of the First Prince's faction, would certainly suffer ruthless retaliation from the faction members.

In this period of undercurrents among various factions and impending major changes in the imperial landscape, he saw Skadi still associating with a country bumpkin. He couldn't help but use his own experience to warn Skadi, to remind her of the severity and crisis of the current situation.

"But it seems that Mr. Isaac actually trusts Your Highness quite a bit?" Ye Xiao pondered. "He even secretly told Your Highness about this matter, just so that you would be more aware of it."

“…I’m not quite sure,” Skadi hesitated for a moment before shaking her head. “From my personal experience, he hasn’t been very close to me in the past…”

"Furthermore, how could the First Prince Evans be the assassin who killed the old king?" Ye Xiao slowly stirred his black tea with a small spoon. "I remember that according to Your Highness, the old king's soul had already dissipated?"

Yes, that's true.

"Would Your Highness be so kind as to tell us the specifics of this matter?"

Skadi nodded. "About ten years ago, Father gathered us siblings for a special... uh, cleansing ritual?"

"I was probably too young back then, so I don't remember the details of what happened very clearly..."

"The impression wasn't particularly deep, but now that you're making me recall it... it seems like there are some fragmented... images..."

"I remember... Father... He made each of us say our names... Hiss..."

As Skadi spoke, her brows furrowed, as if she were trying to dig out childhood memories buried deep in her mind.

“I remember him saying… he was sorry or something… and that our bloodline, the royal bloodline… was hiding something… he wanted to do it himself for us…”

Skadi felt her head was a little dizzy, and vaguely, the scene in her vision seemed to have returned to that summer ten years ago.

Inside the bright palace hall, the polished floor tiles were stained with bright red blood.

The old king's trembling figure, draped in his royal robes, resembled a giant bat in the sunlight streaming into the palace.

Holding a sharp silver dagger, his eyes filled with sorrow and despair, he walked step by step toward Skadi, who was still a child.

Then, he plunged the dagger into Skadi's chest.

"I will personally...kill you all!!!"

The old king's hideous face suddenly appeared in Skadi, and even the wrinkles that looked as old as tree bark were clearly visible.

She instinctively screamed, her brain engulfed in a searing pain...

Ouch, it hurts!! ...

Why does it hurt so much?!

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!!!"

"Your Highness, are you alright?!"

Skadi's consciousness only began to clear after Ye Xiao's shout shattered the illusion formed by her strange memories. She then felt as if her body had fallen into a furnace, filled with indescribable burning pain.

She cried out softly from the inexplicable pain, only to realize that there was an empty medicine bottle near her mouth.

She looked at her body in a daze. Underneath her slightly torn clothes, a thin layer of frost covered part of her exposed skin, while a faint flame flickered on another part.

"What's wrong with me?"

Skadi was somewhat bewildered, but Ye Xiao, who was supporting him, provided the answer: "Your Highness, you were just speaking when you suddenly started crying and wailing, and the magical energy surging around you became extremely unstable."

“Magic surging…?” Skadi, slowly calming down, felt the energy raging within her body.

This is... my Twin Dragon Bloodline activated?

While recounting her memories, Skadi suddenly found that the twin dragon bloodline within her body had begun to unleash magical power of both ice and fire attributes, coursing through her body.

Without any conscious guidance or release of these magical powers, they began to wreak havoc on Skadi's body.

"Why did this happen...?" Skadi was still a little scared, even though now that she had regained her senses, the chaotic magic power running through her body was beginning to dissipate.

She had heard of cases where people died due to magical outbursts caused by certain diseases, but she never expected that such a thing would happen to her own dual dragon bloodline.

This was the first time she had ever encountered something like this in her life.

This is not a good thing. If the cause of the magic's outburst is unknown, she may very well die in her sleep one day without knowing why.

"Ye Xiao, I...I won't lose control of my magic, will I..." Skadi panicked, looking at Ye Xiao, her voice trembling with tears.

People are always afraid of the unknown, especially when they suddenly discover that they have a strange disease that could kill them.

“Your Highness, don’t be nervous,” Ye Xiao said calmly, though he had also been caught off guard. “It’s not an illness. It’s more like someone has tampered with your soul or your body’s memories.”

"Once you start thinking about something you shouldn't be thinking about, it triggers some pre-set resistance."
