Strange, why would the Duke suddenly ask about such a thing?

Ella's mind raced. Rumors of her being an evil god had been circulating since the Pilgrimage Festival, and the Duke must have heard them occasionally before.

But why did she suddenly realize it at this moment? Did she give herself away somewhere?

Even judging from the Duke's behavior before the banquet, he should have regarded her as the real Ella Hayville. Could something have happened in just ten minutes that made the Duke suddenly change his mind?

Ella was puzzled, but she did not act rashly. She summoned her raven familiars to surround the mansion, but found no trace of any traps.

But if Duke Heville truly doubted her identity, how could he dare to question her face-to-face like this?

As Ella pondered, she failed to notice the sly glint in Duke Heville's eyes across the desk.

……

At the same time, in the lobby.

The noble young men and Ye Xiao began to discuss what constitutes wisdom and talent.

"There is a 20-step staircase. A frog is at the bottom and can only jump one or two steps at a time. How many ways can it jump to the top of the staircase?"

So Ye Xiao took the opportunity to ask a question that left the group of young nobles scratching their heads in frustration, which made them lose interest in advising him to break up, and finally allowed him to calm down.

"These are some basic arithmetic problems from our area. We're just throwing them out here for casual conversation, hahaha."

Ye Xiao chuckled as he watched the group deep in thought, thinking that these guys were quite amusing in some ways.

Just then, a familiar and pleasant voice sounded from behind him, "Excuse me, everyone, my father just had something to discuss with me."

Upon hearing this melodious voice, the nobles couldn't help but smile. After all, being able to see the goddess again was naturally a delightful experience.

Only Ye Xiao felt a chill run down his spine at that moment.

Ella?

He turned around and saw the lovely and charming face of the silver-haired girl.

What's going on?!

Ye Xiao certainly knew where the real Ella was, and the sudden appearance of a guy who looked exactly like Ella immediately stirred up his unpleasant memories.

Where did this guy come from?

Ye Xiao wore a smile as if she had just met her lover, but a bead of cold sweat trickled down her forehead.

The entire hall of the Duke's mansion was filled with visiting nobles. Whatever this guy's purpose was, we absolutely couldn't let him cause trouble here.

The bloody scene of the fake saintess casually slaughtering the entire Grey Wolf Mansion during Storm Harbor was still vivid in Ye Xiao's mind, forcing him to be extremely cautious.

"Your Holiness!" "Oh, Your Holiness, your beauty seems to radiate new light every moment." "Greetings, Your Holiness..."

The young nobles, as always, began to fawn over her, but "Ella" simply took Ye Xiao's arm gracefully and smiled apologetically, saying, "Gentlemen, my father wants to discuss some matters with Mr. Ye and me. Please allow me to leave for a moment again."

"It's alright, it's alright, hahahaha." "Oh, my radiant Saintess, even a moment without witnessing your splendor is like a knife to my heart." "Then see you later, Saintess..."

As the nobles bid their reluctant farewells, Ye Xiao, led by Ella, left the hall, passed through the doors, and entered the long corridor outside.

Chapter Nineteen: The Greedy Witch

Is it me you're targeting?

Ye Xiaojing followed "Ella" down the corridor, completely unaware of what was about to happen.

Since he was attending a banquet, he naturally didn't bring any weapons. However, the real Ella could be summoned at any time with a teleportation portal, so he wasn't afraid.

His only concern was that the duke's mansion was crowded with too many innocent people, so he didn't expose them directly to avoid alerting them. Instead, he followed the other party, intending to see what this fake "Ella" was really up to.

"How was the dinner party?" Just then, "Ella" suddenly asked.

"It's quite interesting," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

"What did you talk about with them?" Ella asked with a grin, leaning against Ye Xiao's arm.

"Uh, cough... let's just chat..."

Ye Xiao quietly moved his body a little, and the soft touch from his arm surprised him to find that this imposter's breasts seemed to be bigger than Ella's.

Was this place poorly disguised or was it intentional?

"So, what brings Father...the Duke to see us?"

"...You'll find out soon enough."

The imposter "Ella" stood smiling as she stopped at the door of a room.

Although she also had those same pair of rosy peach blossom eyes, for some reason, Ye Xiao only saw a pure and innocent beauty in her pretty face.

They look exactly alike, but I always feel like this guy's smile is missing something...

Ye Xiao was somewhat surprised. He had always thought that Ella's smile, which looked both playful and slightly wicked, was because of her natural facial features, but now it seemed that wasn't the case; she was capable of showing such a cheerful smile.

Sigh, if the real Ella could also show that expression, perhaps fewer people would call her an evil god.

The imposter "Ella" naturally had no idea what Ye Xiao was thinking. Seeing Ye Xiao staring straight at her, she was secretly annoyed.

Hmph, what a jerk! It's only a woman with a seductive and flirtatious look that can keep him in check!

She pushed open the door to the side and pulled Ye Xiao into the room, "Come in!"

Ye Xiao detected a hint of anger in the other person's voice, but didn't quite understand why.

The room behind the door didn't seem unusual; it was just an ordinary bedroom.

But why a bedroom?

Before Ye Xiao could react, he heard a soft click behind him. He turned around and saw that the imposter "Ella" had already locked the door.

Hmm? Are they finally going to reveal their true colors?

A slight sense of unease rose in Ye Xiao's heart. He was led to the bedside by "Ella," then pressed down onto the edge of the bed, and then watched as "Ella" unbuttoned his shirt...

"Wait, what are you doing???"

Ye Xiao grabbed "Ella's" slender wrist, his mind filled with questions.

He had imagined many possibilities, but he never expected that they would inexplicably start taking off his clothes.

"What are you doing... handing over your penis?" "Ella" answered subconsciously, then seemed to immediately realize that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly covered her mouth, "Well... aren't we lovers? Isn't this something that lovers do?"

"what???"

Ye Xiao was stunned. "No, we... huh???"

What are some things that lovers do?

This guy deliberately disguised himself as Ella, went to great lengths to lure him out at this dinner party, and then told him it was all for this purpose?

What kind of nonsense is this?

The imposter "Ella" noticed that Ye Xiao's expression was a little off, so she gritted her teeth and, while Ye Xiao's mind was still blank, pounced on him, pinned him down, and kissed him hard.

"Ugh...!?"

What the hell?! How come there are such thugs?!

During the struggle, Ye Xiao was surprised to find that this guy's strength was ridiculously great. He looked like a soft little thing lying in his arms, but he could press both of Ye Xiao's hands down on the bed with just one hand and make him unable to move.

Excuse me, what is this thing?!

Ye Xiao was dumbfounded. He had never encountered such a bizarre thing in his two lifetimes.

A rich, milky fragrance wafted between Ye Xiao's teeth and cheeks, awakening an indescribable sense of familiarity. However, he had no time to delve into it at the moment, as he was twisting his body with all his might to protect his chastity.

The soft, beautiful woman in his arms made him feel flustered. He saw the imposter "Ella" violently tear his shirt with her free hand. The cunning in her eyes had been replaced by rampant greed, like a hungry wolf drooling over its prey.

Damn it! Is my lifelong reputation, Ye Xiao's, really going to be tarnished like this?!

"Hehe..." The fake "Ella" raised her face, lightly licking the corner of her lips with her tongue. Her previous innocence had vanished, replaced by a chilling desire.

Holy crap, this is so hilarious!

Ye Xiao saw the hungry look on that face, which resembled that of a demonic beast from hell, and his lips twitched. In desperation, he finally managed to pull out the throwing knife hidden in his sleeve with his fingers, and with his fingertips holding the hilt, he threw it to the side with a swift motion, "Shifting Shadows!"

The miracle sorcerer activated his spell, and his figure vanished from the bed in an instant, reappearing on the other side of the bed as he sprinted toward the door.

This is outrageous! Where did this man-eating monster come from?!

However, in the instant he fled, a deep, blood-red magic circle quietly appeared around his waist, trapping him within it.

Poor Ye Xiao, like Tang Sanzang being drawn into the purple-gold gourd in the witch's hand, was instantly pulled back to the bed by a sudden, tremendous force.

"You still want to run!"

The imposter "Ella" let out a sinister laugh and tightly gripped Ye Xiao, who was being dragged back by the gravity array.

"Holy crap, stop! Help!!! There's a pervert!!!"

Ye Xiao was terrified, as his arms were firmly locked by the other person's arms that stretched out from under his armpits.

"We've set up a soundproof array, so shouting won't do any good, hehe!"

The fake "Ella" mocked smugly, and tried again to remove Ye Xiao's lower garment restraints, but unfortunately her arms were too short to reach his waist, which was struggling like a slippery eel.

"It's so annoying with all this moving around, come help me out!"

Hearing this, Ye Xiao became even more horrified.

Holy crap, reinforcements?!

In his trembling gaze, the wardrobe standing against the bedroom wall quietly opened, and a blonde girl with a flushed face and graceful figure appeared.

"Skadi???"

Ye Xiao's jaw nearly dislocated from shock. "What are you doing?!"

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" Ella shouted at the same time.

"I'm sorry, Ye Xiao... you were the one who wronged me first!"

Skadi was extremely embarrassed, but she rushed forward without hesitation and grabbed Ye Xiao's legs tightly.

"Hey!? Huh!!!" Ye Xiao couldn't hold back any longer. Were these two crazy?!

"Now, it's our turn to submit our information!"

Behind her, the imposter "Ella" was already screaming with joy, her previous shyness transformed into boundless delight by her impending success.

At this critical moment, a spatial ripple suddenly appeared in the room.

A pink-haired girl with a bruised and swollen face was bound by dark tentacles and thrown out of the portal. Then, Ella, with a smile on her face, slowly walked out of the portal.

The air, which had been filled with passion, suddenly fell silent. The fake "Ella" and Skadi stared at the two people who emerged from the portal, their expressions frozen.

"Hehe, sorry, big sister, she accidentally saw through me," Asamonte on the ground chuckled sheepishly.

Chapter Twenty: The Principles of Seniority

The scene became awkward for a moment. The imposter "Ella" swallowed hard, easily released Ye Xiao, glanced at the real Ella, then at the door next to her, and suddenly made up her mind and shouted, "Don't be afraid, Skadi, let's go together!"

"Huh??" Skadi looked completely bewildered. "Should we go for it, right now??"

"Charge!" The imposter "Ella" immediately gave Her Majesty the Queen, who was still confused about the situation, a shove.

Ella caught Skadi, who was still in a daze, and pushed her into her arms. Then, watching the imposter "Ella" scurry towards the door, she casually flicked her wrist, and a puddle of black mud spread out from her feet like a shadow, covering the ground beneath the imposter "Ella".

Then several dark tentacles popped out of the mud and bound the escapee tightly, bringing him back to her side.

Ella, with one hand on the imposter's head and her lips twitching, asked, "Miss Greta, can you explain why you want to look like me?"

Even if Ella were slow-witted, once she saw Skadi and the Slaanesh witch Assamonte disguised as Duke Havil, and recalled the foolish behavior and tone of the imposter "Ella," she would have no reason not to guess that it was Greta in disguise.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! My head's going to fall off, Sister Ella!!!"

Greta screamed, like a kitten being choked.

……

After some tossing.

In the awkward yet quiet bedroom, two pink-haired girls with messy hair and a blonde girl knelt side by side on the floor with their heads drooping.

Ella stood with her hands on her hips, looking at the three clowns in front of her with a mixture of exasperation and amusement.

"Then, can you explain what you are doing, my two esteemed demon gods and my dear Queen?"
