The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Oh no, oh no, oh no, the waves in this stormy weather are too exaggerated. If this continues, we'll drown.

On the other side, Ella quickly opened a portal to bring Ye Xiao back, but unexpectedly, as soon as the portal opened, seawater rushed in, knocking the unsuspecting girl lying on the bed over.

"Hey, what's going on!?"

Ella quickly closed the portal again, preventing her luxury suite from being directly flooded by the sea.

But why didn't Ye Xiao get out when the door was opened?

Ella was surprised. Logically, if she opened the portal next to Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao should have been washed out by the seawater. But why couldn't she see Ye Xiao at all?

Did she open the wrong door? That's impossible; she should know the location of every anchor point perfectly.

She paid no attention to the bed that was soaked by seawater, focusing instead on finding Ye Xiao's anchor point. To her surprise, the anchor point had vanished.

She can't even sense Ye Xiao's location in this world anymore?

But she and Ye Xiao are the same person. Ye Xiao is clearly still alive, just tumbling underwater. Why can't the spatial magic lock onto his anchor point?

Without Ella's help from the teleportation portal, Ye Xiao could only desperately struggle to survive in the raging sea.

Fortunately, the turbulent current subsided after a while, allowing him to adjust his posture and surface after drinking his fill.

"Wow!"

Ye Xiao first spat out a few mouthfuls of water, then wiped his face. The unexpectedly bright sunlight made him feel a bit blinded, as he had just been struggling in the dark seabed.

Wait, sunlight?

Ye Xiao looked up and was surprised to see the sun hanging high in the clear sky above.

Are you kidding me? Isn't it nighttime now??

Ye Xiaoren was a little confused. He looked around and saw only a vast sea. There was no escort ship or merchant ship in sight.

Holy crap, where am I?!

A wave crashed onto my planet?!

Where are the escort ships? Where are the merfolk?

Ye Xiao was genuinely confused. If he and Ella hadn't shared their senses, he would have thought he had drowned and then transmigrated.

However, Ella can't open the portal here, so maybe it's some kind of special space?

Speculation aside, Ye Xiao's immediate priority was to find a way to float, since all he could see was a vast expanse of water with not a single plank in sight, and he would drown if things continued like this.

At this moment, his dignity as a mage came in handy. When he was blown off the ship, he was holding his staff, so he waved it and summoned a thin layer of ice on the sea.

Once on the ice, Ye Xiao no longer had to drift around like a piece of duckweed. He turned his staff, which he had just used, into a paddle and used it to paddle across the ice as a small boat.

But this couldn't go on indefinitely, since he hadn't brought much food with him and needed to find a place to land before dark.

It's really strange. Just a moment ago they were searching and rescuing people on a guard ship, and now they've turned into Robinson Crusoe and are drifting here.

Ye Xiao was full of doubts, but couldn't figure out what was going on. Could it be that the last words written by the merman boy had activated some kind of magic and teleported him?

But it's strange, where does teleporting make Ella's spatial magic fail?

Just as he was struggling with this, Ye Xiao suddenly spotted the shadow of a ship in the distance.

He hurriedly used his staff to paddle, but after paddling a few meters, he realized it was too slow. Then, he slapped his forehead, turned the staff back, and with a gentle wave, summoned a wind-controlling spell.

A strong wind arose on the calm sea, carrying Ye Xiao, who was on the ice, as they sped across the water.

Then Ye Xiao suddenly had another idea, pointed his staff behind him, and unleashed a fireball.

"boom"

The surging impact was like a powerful jet propel Ye Xiao across the sea. The sea breeze ruffled his hair, and Ye Xiao found it strangely quite interesting.

"Sure, why didn't I think of playing like this before?"

Ye Xiao turned the ice beneath his feet into a jet ski on the sea, and before long, the distant ship's silhouette drew ever closer.

Once his vision cleared, Ye Xiao could see the ship clearly.

It was a royal sailing ship of Aslan, exactly like the ghost ship that had been following the merchant ship. The bow was adorned with a golden griffin entwined with ivy, and the tall masts were imposing and majestic.

There were many people on board; compared to the empty ghost ship, this ship was obviously much more lively.

As Ye Xiao approached, he saw a group of people leaning against the railing at the bow of the ship, discussing something. He quickly waved to them, trying to attract their attention.

Meanwhile, on the bow of the sailboat, Prince Aslan, who was discussing matters with his first mate, also noticed the strange figure on the sea not far away. He frowned and asked, "What is that?"

The first mate picked up his binoculars, glanced at it, and froze. "Uh, a... mage gliding on ice floes?"

Chapter Fifty-Eight: Misplaced Time and Space

"Your Highness, he's waving at us. Should we bring him up?" The first mate scratched his head.

"Let me see through the binoculars." Prince Aslan took the first mate's binoculars, looked at them, and said, "...What kind of lunatic is this? Does he think this is a seaside amusement park??"

After saying that, the prince handed the binoculars back to the first mate, saying, "Never mind him, we're not a search and rescue ship."

"boom"

Suddenly an explosion occurred at the bow of the ship, and the Aslan sailboat activated a protective shield glowing green, blocking the flames after the explosion.

"Your Highness, that...that gliding mage is throwing fireballs at us!"

"Damn it, is he looking for death?! Grab him!"

……

Ye Xiao saw Aslan's large ship slowly turn around in his direction and was relieved that the other party had finally understood his distress signal.

A small boat was lowered from the side of the ship, and Aslan's naval soldiers rowed closer.

"Hey, friends of Aslan, I'm an adventurer and I've unfortunately gotten lost around here. Can I hitch a ride?" Ye Xiao greeted them.

Several Aslan soldiers looked at each other, then simultaneously raised their spears and aimed them at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao then raised both hands in a military salute.

Aslan soldiers took Ye Xiao to the ship and searched his body, taking away his knife and staff.

Upon reaching the deck, Ye Xiao discovered that this ship was not so much similar to the ghost ship he had seen before, but rather completely the same ship.

This struck him as odd; it couldn't be a coincidence.

"where u from?"

After being brought aboard the ship, Prince Aslan, who was at the bow of the ship, came over with his first mate and an old man.

Ye Xiao recognized him immediately; it was Prince Aslan, whom Ella had met at the auction earlier, the one who had bought the merman.

This guy is here too?

“I was a passenger on a Loren merchant ship. The ship encountered a shipwreck in the Magala Sea, and I lost contact with them after falling into the water.”

Prince Aslan listened to Ye Xiao's account, looked into Ye Xiao's eyes, and frowned. "What's the name of your merchant ship? Where did it depart from?"

"The Gale of Aeolus departed from the Mansa Islands," Ye Xiao answered truthfully.

Upon hearing this, the prince's eyes grew even more malevolent. After scrutinizing Ye Xiao for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "You're lying. Throw him in jail."

"what?"

Ye Xiao's lips twitched, and he hurriedly used one hand to hold off the soldiers who rushed up to grab him, but the other side had too many people and the soldiers who rushed up from the front and back forced him to the ground.

"Hey?? I'm telling the truth! You can check it out after you dock!"

“I come from the Mansa Islands. I saw the ship you mentioned two days ago,” Prince Aslan said coldly. “My ship set off a day earlier, heading straight for the Magala Sea. I haven’t even reached the Magala Sea yet, so how could you have arrived before me and suffered a shipwreck?”

"Are you kidding me? We've been here for four days already... Hey, stop it! Your Third Princess and I are friends!" Ye Xiao shouted as he tried to break free from the swarm of soldiers.

Even a master swordsman like him couldn't fight off four hands with his bare fists without a weapon, and was firmly held down by more than a dozen burly men.

Afterwards, the soldiers finally managed to tie up the struggling Ye Xiao with rope and escort him into the cabin.

Watching Ye Xiao's retreating figure, the boatswain wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"How come this guy, a mage, is so strong?"

Helplessly bound, Ye Xiao was taken by soldiers to the lowest level of the ship's cabin and locked in a dark cell.

"damn thing!"

Ye Xiao cursed loudly at the soldier who locked the cell door, seemingly in a fit of impotent rage.

But as soon as the other person turned to leave, he immediately squatted down and began to pull out the hidden razor blade from the sole of his shoe.

The seemingly powerless struggles he made earlier were obviously feigned, but acting too honestly would definitely arouse suspicion.

These Aslan nobles are usually not good people; they certainly won't let him board the ship unless he hands over his weapons. So Ye Xiao made some preparations in advance when he was preparing to board the ship.

"If you don't have the skills, you shouldn't take on the job." Since Ye Xiao dared to board the ship, he must have been confident in dealing with the difficulties.

His sleeves had been burned off in the fire before, so this time he hid the razor blade in the sole of his shoe.

He used his index and middle fingers to hold the blade and cut the hemp rope. Ye Xiao, who had regained his mobility, immediately began to study the metal cell door.

But before he could figure out how to open the door, the cabin suddenly began to shake violently.

"What's going on??" the guard outside the cell asked in surprise.

"Attention everyone, pirate attack!" Another shout came from the higher cabin.

"Damn it!" The guards rushed to the cabin to provide support, leaving Ye Xiao unattended.

"Is there really such a good thing?" Ye Xiao was just thinking about how to get rid of the guards when this happened.

He was suddenly left alone in the huge prison cell at the bottom of the ship.

Wait, there seems to be another one next door?

Looking around, Ye Xiao suddenly noticed through a small window in the wall that there was a short figure sitting in the cell next door.

Because the other party didn't make a sound, Ye Xiao initially thought he was the only one in the cell.

He leaned closer to look and discovered that the figure with its head bowed was none other than the merman boy.

"what?"

Ye Xiao exclaimed in surprise. Perhaps this startled the boy, for he slowly raised his head, revealing a face that Ye Xiao recognized.

But the other party seemed to have never seen Ye Xiao before, and simply lowered his head in silence, hugged his knees, and did not say a word.

However, Ye Xiao roughly understood the current situation.

Since this merman boy is here, along with this Aslan sailing ship, and considering what Prince Aslan just said...

He deduced that he was likely...time traveled.

Moreover, it was a journey back two days.

Although it's outrageous, Ye Xiao has experienced time travel before.

In fact, the stillness of everything before his transmigration was exactly the same as the situation in his previous life when the World-Destroying Witch activated time reversal.

This also explains why Ella's portal couldn't open next to Ye Xiao, because he and Ella are not on the same timeline at all.

Even under these circumstances, it is truly surprising that he and Ella are still of the same soul. Ye Xiao can even still manipulate Ella's actions... well, no, it should be said that Ella can still manipulate his actions.

Hmm... Thinking about this, this might be the key to verifying his conjecture.

If this is indeed the timeline from two days ago, and Ella is two days later, then the Aslan sailing ship I'm currently on must be the ghost ship that followed the merchant ship later.

Ye Xiao gripped the razor blade and looked at the wall behind him.

You should know that Ella's raven familiar was also on that ghost ship.

Logically speaking, if he carves a word here, Ella's familiar should also be able to see the same word on the wall of the corresponding cell below this cabin.

So he summoned the raven familiars from the ghost ship to crawl under the ship's cabin, and sure enough, he found an identical cell, except that the cell was empty and silent.

Ye Xiao looked at the wall, raised the razor blade, and swallowed hard.

His hand suddenly trembled slightly. What if, what if the words he carved here really appeared on that ghost ship over there...

He was hesitant to think about it, but he had to verify it.

Swallowing hard, Ye Xiao gripped the razor blade and slowly carved a triangular mark on the wall.

Over there, the crow familiar stared intently at the wall, but unexpectedly, nothing happened.
