The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Although Ye Xiao didn't have a good impression of Orphnoch, he didn't hate him enough to want to become a minotaur and destroy someone else's love life.

“Um… Lady Agnes,”

Ye Xiao's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. No matter what, he had to find a way to get out of this. He was an undercover agent with principles. "It's getting late. Why don't you take a rest first?"

"what?"

Agnes froze, then her eyes widened. "You dare disobey my orders?!"

No, they've even issued "orders." Does this mean there's such a clear hierarchy in their relationship? That's so unhealthy!

And is this girl in such a hurry that she has to do it in the middle of the night?

Seeing Agnes's displeasure, Ye Xiao thought for a while and could only resort to his secret weapon of urinating. "I'm really sorry, Lady Agnes, I... I suddenly feel like I need to go to the toilet. I think it would be better if we did this another day."

"Orfindo! If you dare step out that door, you're dead!!!"

Agnes gritted her teeth; this was the first time this guy had dared to defy her like this.

It seems the previous punishment wasn't enough; it didn't make this guy truly remember the price of disobeying her.

"If you dare to go out, you'll be dismissed from your post tomorrow and sent back to Morning Star Ridge!!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao paused, her hand gripping the doorknob.

That won't work either... If I'm directly dismissed from my post, I probably won't be able to gather any intelligence.

Are you kidding me? This woman's controlling nature is just too much.

Ye Xiao felt sorry for Orfino; judging from this scene, their future relationship was bound to end badly.

"Did you hear me? Come here!"

Agnes's arrogant shouts echoed in the bedroom.

Ye Xiao had no choice but to turn around and silently walk to the bedside.

However, at this moment, his mind was already connected to the crow familiar outside the window, preparing to have it smash the window next to him, using the excuse of an unexpected attack to escape.

Since subjective reasons are unacceptable, objective reasons are always irrefutable.

Agnes sat on the edge of the bed, looking up at Ye Xiao, who was disguised as Orfino and appeared tall. Her neck started to ache, and she immediately became furious. "What do you mean by standing so tall?! Kneel down right now!"

ha?

Ye Xiao was completely bewildered.

"Are you deaf? I'll make you kneel down!!"

Seeing that Ye Xiao remained unmoved, Agnes roared again.

Ye Xiao had no choice but to kneel on one knee and barely manage a standard knightly salute.

Is there something wrong with your other knee?

Agnes grew even angrier at Ye Xiao's nonchalant attitude.

"Hmm? No, my left leg is perfectly fine, thank you for your concern."

"Concern my foot! I'm telling you to kneel on your other knee!!!"

Ye Xiao glanced down, then raised his right knee and knelt down with his left knee instead.

"you……"

Agnes's blood pressure spiked instantly. "You're playing dumb with me, aren't you?!"

Ye Xiao was speechless. This woman was far too difficult to please. She didn't explain which leg to kneel on. A normal person would definitely think it was the right knee as in the standard knightly salute, but she got angry over that.

"I'm telling you to kneel down! Kneel down, both of you!!"

Agnes roared.

Kneeling on both knees...? Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes.

Whatever private quirks Orfino may have is his business, but Ye Xiao would not do anything so undignified.

"That won't work."

Therefore, Ye Xiao decisively refused.

After he finished speaking, the air suddenly became very quiet.

Agnes's face was stiff, her eyes fixed on the late-night snack, like a ferocious beast ready to devour someone at any moment.

"……What did you say?"

“I just said 'no'…”

"I don't need you to tell me again!!!"

Agnes, like a powder keg that had been lit, immediately jumped out of bed, pointing a trembling finger at Ye Xiao's nose, "Orfino, how dare you?! I am your master!!!"

“Ahem… Lady Agnes, I think you may have some misunderstandings. Even if your rank in the Holy Temple is higher than mine, it doesn’t mean that we have a master-servant relationship.”

Ye Xiao coughed lightly twice to correct Agnes's mistaken idea.

"The transfer of ranks within the Holy Temple is not hereditary. Theoretically speaking, I entered the Holy Temple through open selection, so we are just ordinary superiors and subordinates..."

"I don't need you to teach me the rules of the sanctuary!"

Agnes was furious. "You're my dog! How dare you disobey me?!"

"But the one who pays my salary is the Holy Church,"

Ye Xiao scratched his head, "If we have to say who raised me, then it should be the God of Light who raised me."

Ye Xiao wasn't wrong. The Holy Temple is like a large corporation, and the Holy Knights are its employees. Agnes's identity is roughly that of a mid-level boss. But for a boss to point at an employee and say, "You're my employee," is a bit too abstract.

Of course, this was Ye Xiao's line of thinking; he assumed that the relationship between Orphnoch and Agnes was limited to the sanctuary.

This infuriated Agnes.

"you……"

Her chest heaved; she had never encountered a subordinate who dared to defy her so much that she was so angry that she was speechless for a moment.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Retreat is the Best Policy

Seeing Agnes's silence, Ye Xiao assumed that she had figured things out.

He thought it was not bad; the fact that the person could reason with others meant that he was still a rational person.

I hope the other party can face up to this kind of workplace relationship in the future.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Agnes angrily grabbed the leather whip from the bedside and lashed it down at Ye Xiao's head.

"Oh!"

Ye Xiao grabbed the whip tip with his large hand. When a whip is swung, as long as the force has not been transmitted to the end, the upper part near the grip does not actually have much power.

With his extensive combat experience as a grandmaster, he knew all too well how to deal with these conventional weapons, especially since the user was a mage who wasn't particularly strong.

But why would this woman keep a whip by her bedside? What kind of strange fetish is that?

Ye Xiao was taken aback when he thought of the terms Agnes had used, such as "master" and "dog," and his gaze sharpened.

No way, this young couple is going all out?

I thought it referred to church ranks, but it turns out it meant something else entirely!

"You!!! Let go of me right now!!!"

Agnes's face flushed red like a ripe peach. She tried with all her might to pull the whip that Ye Xiao was holding, but Ye Xiao's hand was as still as a statue.

"Oh, sorry."

Ye Xiao noticed Agnes's predicament and immediately let go of her hand. Unexpectedly, the girl was thrown backwards on the bed due to inertia and rolled into a ball with the blanket.

"Yo, haha."

Ye Xiao couldn't help but chuckle twice. There was nothing wrong with it; Agnes's appearance was indeed a bit comical.

"You! Dare! To! Laugh! At! Me!!!"

A furious roar erupted from behind the velvet blankets as the girl leaped from the bed like a wildcat, waving her arms and charging at Ye Xiao, yelling, "Orfino!!! You're dead!!!"

But to Ye Xiao, the fists thrown by this weak mage in a fit of rage were no different from a wad of cotton. He casually pressed down and stuffed the other's head back into the blankets. "Alright, let's stop fooling around."

He could roughly sense that Agnes was truly angry, but her anger was directed at Orffindor, not at Ye Xiao.

That being said, we still need to find a way to keep this guy occupied first, otherwise being entangled with him will interfere with his continued investigation.

As Ye Xiao was pondering, two pairs of fair hands emerged from under the covers and began frantically slapping his arms. He was startled, and realizing something was wrong, he immediately withdrew his hands from pressing down on the other person's head.

"You damned Orffindor, are you trying to suffocate me?!"

Agnes looked up again, her blonde hair disheveled, and through the falling strands, one could see her eyes, glistening with tears.

"This is outrageous!!! You dog, are you trying to devour your master?!"

"If I'd known, I should have let Father throw you back into the slums!! I shouldn't have taken you in; I should have let you starve to death there!! Like a stray dog!!!"

Hmm? Ye Xiao listened and realized what was going on.

So, Orfino is related to the other woman's father? Judging from his tone, he really was raised by this woman's family?

But even if that was Orphnoch's business, Ye Xiao just shrugged and subconsciously replied, "So what? It's not like I asked you to pick it up."

"What did you say!!??"

Agnes simply couldn't believe it; how could this seemingly respectable man utter such a blasphemous statement?

Bad.

Seeing that Agnes was almost dizzy with anger, Ye Xiao almost forgot that he was supposed to find a way to calm her down, not add fuel to the fire.

But you can't blame him for that. Agnes's way of speaking is just too annoying. She keeps saying things like "You're a dog" and "I'm your master." Which normal person wouldn't feel disgusted by that?

Only someone with special interests like Orfinondo might enjoy it, but Ye Xiao doesn't have that kind of hobby.

"No... what I really wanted to say was that I'm really sorry."

Ye Xiao scratched his head, grinned, and tried to infect the other person with his sincere and cheerful smile, "That was just a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue."

"You swearing dog!!!"

Agnes has lost the elegance befitting a noblewoman.

"Hey, a lady shouldn't use foul language."

Ye Xiao seized the opportunity to instruct, "Lady Agnes, you must remain calm; that is the demeanor of someone in a position of authority."

Agnes ignored Ye Xiao and immediately started looking for her whip. Forget about manners! She was determined to beat this bastard to death today!

However, Ye Xiao, quick-witted and agile, had already picked up the whip from the bed.

“Give it back to me!!!”

"No."

"Give it back to me!!! Ah!!!"

Seeing the girl sitting on the bed, clutching the blanket and roaring, Ye Xiao inexplicably imagined a groundhog standing on a wall, screaming.

"dong dong dong"

Just then, there was a knock on the door, it seemed the commotion had finally attracted the others.

This was the first time Ye Xiao had ever been so eager to see the guards during a stealth mission; it might be his chance to escape.

The door was slightly ajar, and the voice of the guard outside could be heard.

"What happened, Lady Agnes..."

Before the guard could finish speaking, and before Ye Xiao could even reply, Agnes shouted angrily towards the door, "Get out!!!"

Then Ye Xiao saw the door panel close again immediately, and there was no further movement.

No, buddy?

Ye Xiao shrugged at the door, as if to say, "Just ignore it?"

"Orfindo! I'm going to kill you!!!"

Having lost her weapon, Agnes went to retrieve the staff that was propped up at the foot of the bed.
