“Miss Belle, please calm down…”

"Berylberylberyl...you should know what my original name was!"

Beryl gripped Ye Xiao's arm tightly, her voice trembling, "Why should I have to endure this until now? You can accept a woman like Ella Hayville, but I have to be excluded?!"

"My sister always says that this memory is too cruel for you to experience now, but how can you treat us like this?!"

"No... wait..."

Ye Xiao swallowed hard. "Miss Bellier, even if you're angry, I just can't understand it."

"I know!!!"

Beryl roared back, then looked at Ye Xiao's face, and suddenly his eyes widened as if he had seen something unbelievable. He let go of her hand and took two steps back.

"……what?"

She lowered her head, cupped her cheeks in her hands, and softened her voice, "I know, Ye Xiao... I shouldn't have done this. I'm sorry, I don't know why I suddenly..."

"Could you wait a moment? I need to calm down...?"

"Um... that's alright, I'm not in a hurry."

Ye Xiao was a little confused when he saw that Beryl seemed to have suddenly changed his state again.

This young lady... seems to have some mental issues?

Beller covered his face, took a few deep breaths, and his tone gradually softened again, "Well... I'm feeling better now. The situation just now was a bit unusual. Sometimes I suddenly get a little anxious, but it doesn't happen often... You can rest assured about that."

"Okay, let's get back to the topic..."

Ye Xiao started to speak out of habit, but then stopped abruptly.

He suddenly hesitated to use the word "serious business," afraid of offending the other person.

So he pondered for a moment how to tactfully bring up the topic, but as he considered his words, he noticed that the girl was still covering her face with her hands, and her deep breathing seemed to have become a little louder than before.

"Um, are you sure you're feeling better, Miss Belle?"

Ye Xiao asked with some surprise, but Beryl did not answer him. He just covered his face with his hands and his body trembled slightly.

Her deep purple hair cascaded down her fair forearms like a hanging waterfall.

"Miss Belle...?"

Not getting a reply, Ye Xiao asked another question tentatively.

The air grew quiet, and Ye Xiao fell silent. Then he heard the girl's muttering voice coming from her head, which was buried in her hands.

"I'm feeling better... I'm feeling better... I'm normal now... Sister..."

“Ye Xiao…he came back to see us…of course he remembers…how could he forget…”

Fragmented words echoed in the room like a chant, making Ye Xiao feel a little uneasy.

This situation was really strange. He didn't know what to do. Leaving directly might cause this guy's personality to suddenly change, just like before. But staying any longer didn't seem like a good thing either.

"Miss Belle...?"

Ye Xiao tried whispering the other person's name for the third time, and thankfully, this time, the girl finally seemed to respond.

“Ah, Beller…yes, Beller…my name is Beller now…”

She slowly raised her head, her dark pupils reflecting Ye Xiao's somewhat worried gaze.

"I'm sorry, Ye Xiao... I may have been suppressing my feelings for too long,"

The girl's voice became soft and somewhat humble, "I lost control for a moment, please don't hate me for it, okay?"

Ye Xiao grabbed his hair. He was the type of person who responded better to gentle persuasion than force. When he saw the pitiful eyes peeking out from behind the tender hands like a kitten, he suddenly felt it was difficult to forcefully say something like "we are enemies".

This guy was acting all carefree and nonchalant just a moment ago, but the next second he started playing the victim, and you still don't know if he's faking it or if he really is.

"It's not that I hate you, it's just that what you did before, and our current positions are different..."

"That's fine, that's fine..."

Beryl nodded shakily, took a few steps forward, and hugged Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao instinctively wanted to push the guy away, but fearing that it would provoke him, he ultimately just placed his hand on the guy's shoulder.

"Come back...please, please."

"Belier said softly."

"It's been so long, I've almost forgotten what it looked like when you liked me..."

Ye Xiao's lips twitched. Even though he had lived two lives and considered his mind to be as firm as iron, he was inexplicably shaken by these words.

These things are clearly things of the past, and he has no emotional foundation with the girl in front of him.

Damn it, have some backbone, Ye Xiao! Don't let women play you like a puppet!

He urged himself on in his heart, but he couldn't help but speak out.

"If that's really what you're thinking... you can leave the company..."

"But you're not going to leave Ella Heville no matter what, are you?"

The girl in his arms said softly.

"she……"

This was too complicated for Ye Xiao to explain. "She's different now... I used to hate her too, but..."

Five thousand three hundred and six.

"what?"

"The 5,306th cycle..."

"Ira Heviel said she's tired of continuing this pointless war, which will never end," Beller said in a low voice.

What are they suddenly saying?

Ye Xiao didn't know what to say, so she remained silent.

“She said, ‘We can live with Apple,’ if you’re willing to believe her.”

"She voluntarily laid down her weapons, and after five thousand cycles of civil war, Loren ushered in its first peace with Apple. The sanctuary was no longer filled with demons, and priests preached and taught on the continent."

"That was the closest we ever came to a beautiful time. You, me, my sister, and I built a small cabin in the forest north of Aslan."

"We thought it was all finally over, and the World-Destroying Witch had finally figured it out."

"Until the day I returned home from Leonia, I saw a black lotus flower blooming in the sky above the town."

"That witch deceived us; the beautiful vision was an illusion. She just hid her fangs."

"The most beautiful time we spent in countless reincarnations became the most terrifying hell after that day."

Ye Xiao felt that the hands gripping her arm were getting tighter and tighter.

"Do you know what kind of revenge the World-Destroying Witch took against us and against you that time?"

Do you know why I'm so familiar with your taste?

"Because I have deeply tasted every part of your insides, your eyes, your bones..."

"Ye Xiao, I want to try to endure, to try to suppress my feelings, and to tell myself that you are only leaving temporarily, and that you will come back one day."

"But I'm sorry... I think I can't hold back any longer..."

She slowly raised her head, and to Ye Xiao's horror, the girl who had spoken so humbly and softly had a flushed face and an exaggeratedly upturned smile.

"Ye Xiao, let's become one again."

Chapter 135 The Madness of Sloth

Oh no, this guy is seriously sick!

Ye Xiao should have realized this sooner; if the older sister was so neurotic, how normal could the younger sister be?

The arms around his waist tightened, and the bones creaked under the strain.

This was no longer the strength of an ordinary human being; it was as if a hydraulic press was slowly crushing his body.

"Stay with me forever!"

Belial's mouth, stretched almost to her ears, could no longer be described as a "smile"; the distorted shape completely twisted her originally cute face.

"Depend on……"

Holding him so tightly, Ye Xiao couldn't activate his teleportation ability. But fortunately, he wasn't completely helpless. As cold sweat trickled down his forehead, a faint sword aura spread from his almost broken arm.

"Swish"

With a flash of cold light, Beryl's slender right arm flew out, spurting blood, as if it had been severed in two by an invisible blade.

This is a skill that Ye Xiao comprehended after advancing to the extraordinary level. Although he couldn't figure out how to apply the "slashing" principle like he did when he was at the Saint level, he could transform his magic power into a unique "slashing attribute".

This allows him to conjure sword energy out of thin air using magic, comparable to the power of a sword strike, and even any part of his body can be transformed into a blade.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Xiao immediately rolled over and moved to the corner of the room. To be honest, he felt like his internal organs were about to be squeezed out.

Beryl's expression froze for a moment, as if he was surprised at how Ye Xiao had severed his arm and freed him from his restraints.

But the severed arm itself was not a big deal to her. Her right arm, which had fallen to the ground, and even the blood that had spilled out, slowly emitted a white glow, turning into countless tiny points of light like fireflies, which then gathered again at the severed part of her body.

In less than a second, the purple-haired girl in the priest's robe returned to normal. Like a stiff puppet, she slowly turned her head, and her dark pupils on her maniacal laughing face locked onto Ye Xiao once again.

“Belier,”

Ye Xiao felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the other person's expression. How could such a beautiful face make such a creepy expression?

“We can talk everything out. This is Duke Tyron’s residence. Don’t… be so… impulsive…”

Halfway through his speech, Ye Xiao noticed that his tone of voice was getting slower and slower, and a strange weariness was creeping into his heart.

Time... spell...?

No...that's not right...! My...thinking...has...slowed...down...

Ye Xiao felt like his body was an old car, and he couldn't even react before Beryl walked up to him and gently stroked his cheek.

“My dear, this time, I won’t let you leave again.”

The girl's face, twisted with a smile, pressed against Ye Xiao's nose, gazing at his still face as if admiring a work of art unique to her.

"Come home with me..."

She suppressed the upward curve of her lips, and her cherry-colored lips were about to touch Ye Xiao's.

Just at the critical moment, a large hand suddenly rose and pressed down on Beller's soft mouth.

"I used to think that being kissed by a beautiful girl was a happy thing at any time, but now it seems that there are still some special cases to exclude."

Ye Xiao's large hand was spread out, almost covering the girl's entire face, and her bright eyes, peeking out from between his fingers, widened slightly.

"How do you resist the power of sloth?..."

Beryl was initially surprised, but quickly recovered, his voice shifting from astonishment to intense hatred.

"Ella-Havie!!!"

Holy crap, how did this guy even figure that out?

Ye Xiao was slightly surprised. Indeed, his split soul's thoughts in his body had been made to operate particularly slowly by this guy through some means. But don't forget, there is also Ella, who is far away in Loren and belongs to the same soul.

Normally, Ye Xiao and Ella are like a single consciousness controlling their left and right hands simultaneously. But at this moment, the right hand suddenly moves abnormally slowly, as if the signal transmitted to him by his brain has a very high delay.

But while the right hand is delayed, the left hand is not; just like now, Ella's thinking speed is still normal.

So she used her divine power to drive Ye Xiao like a remotely controlled puppet. Unlike the usual circuit where the brain directly controls the right hand, this was equivalent to having a neuron grow in the left hand and forcibly connect to the right hand. The brain's consciousness was first transmitted to the left hand, and then the left hand drove the right hand.

It sounds strange, but it's the best solution Ella could think of.

Only by channeling her divine power from afar could she resist Belial's strange abilities; Ye Xiao alone had no way to do anything about it.

As expected, only gods can cure it, even at the level of deities, leaving Ella helpless.

But in Beller's eyes, she could almost see that detestable world-destroying witch lying lazily on the dark curtain, a sly smile on her face, her five fingers spread open, using puppet strings to dangle Ye Xiao's body and toy with her.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, bloodshot veins appeared in Beller's wide eyes, and anger nearly overwhelmed his reason.

"Can we calm down and talk things through first? Everything is negotiable..."
