The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"The things you're focusing on are so strange."

Tanya didn't know how to answer.

"of course."

However, Ella proudly raised her chin, "Ye Xiao is my fiancé."

Declare sovereignty directly, so this guy won't have any other ideas about me.

"what???"

Miss Windsor was taken aback when she heard this, but then her eyes stopped welling up and she perked up.

"This, how is this possible!?"

Her eyes scanned Ella from head to toe, and finally, whether intentionally or unintentionally, lingered on Ella's unremarkable chest.

"That doesn't make sense, why would he like something so small!"

"You bastard, this is the last straw!"

Ella noticed the gaze and immediately bristled. She snapped her fingers, and several tentacles suddenly rose from the ground, binding Miss Windsor.

"I'd like to see just how big you are!"

"no?"

Tanya was dumbfounded. Miss Windsor was being silly, but why was the Holy Maiden acting so recklessly?

Chapter 228 The Tranquility Before Nightfall

Fortunately, the doors were tightly closed, and there was a soundproofing array, so some strange noises that could easily be misunderstood did not get out.

Miss Windsor was cornered by Ella and given a beating with her tentacles. Given that Miss Windsor's previous remarks were indeed rude, Tanya chose to stand by and watch.

Of course, having not recovered much of her Holy Light power, she was unable to stop Ella anyway, and even if she wanted to help, she was powerless to do so.

"Waaaaah, Tanya, save me! Why are you just watching..."

So poor Windsor ended up crouching in the corner, arms crossed, wailing pitifully, while Ella clapped her hands after she was done, lifted her skirt, and left with a flourish, "Hmph, nothing special."

"Waaaaah... Tanya, I've been defiled by a witch..."

"...It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

Tanya was speechless.

In reality, Windsor was simply bound hand and foot by tentacles and then had her cheeks slapped hard by Ella a couple of times. However, those slippery tentacles did look... well, enough to give an unprepared girl a strong mental shock.

However, this commotion made Tania feel a little more at ease. She had been worried that this renowned saintess might not be easy to get along with, but now it seemed that she was not as terrible as she had imagined.

Poor Miss Windsor, on the way to the palace, was still holding Tanya and wailing uncontrollably.

After all, one cannot live in an underground mansion forever. Although the outside of the palace was bombed and damaged, most of the buildings in the rear hall were still intact.

Ella then arranged for Tanya and Miss Windsor to stay in the luxurious bedroom in the rear palace. Considering that Tanya had been in contact with Alina quite a bit before, Ella also asked the latter to go and greet Alina.

Alina was now dressed in a snow-white priestess's gown, her long, black hair cascading down to her chest, and she was holding a large book of saintly teachings in her arms. She looked very well-behaved.

In the bedroom, Tanya, having settled in, was naturally delighted to see Alina arrive.

Before this, because of the fading of the Holy Light power, Tanya had been secretly using Ella's portal to go to the Temple of Loren and train with Alina in the Holy Light, so the two were now quite familiar with each other.

Tanya could even call Alina "teacher".

Under Alina's tutelage, Tania can now summon a small amount of holy light on her own, even without relying on the remnant soul of Heresta within her.

"Windsor, come here and let me introduce you. This is Miss Alina."

Tanya was happy to introduce her best friend to another friend, and Alina also politely greeted Miss Windsor.

"You... hello."

Windsor was still haunted by the shadow cast by the large black tentacles under Ella's skirt, and her speech was somewhat hesitant.

Alina noticed Miss Windsor's low spirits, so she opened her hand, and a golden bud formed of holy light bloomed in her palm.

A warm glow instantly filled the room, accompanied by golden stardust that slowly drifted down from the sky.

This stunning scenery immediately caught Miss Windsor's attention, and her somewhat melancholy heart was gradually warmed by a surge of peace and warmth.

"Miss, are you feeling any better now?"

Alina, holding a large book, smiled gently.

"so amazing……"

Miss Windsor stared in astonishment, then quickly took Alina's slender arm. "Your holy light is even more powerful than Tania's!"

"I'm truly sorry for my lack of skill."

Tanya was speechless at the sight of her best friend who was so fickle.

"Um, my name is Windsor,"

Miss Windsor, having regained her composure, introduced herself, "Are you also one of the... Saintess's subordinates?"

"Um,"

Alina nodded slightly, her serene smile both obedient and elegant. "The Holy Maiden was worried that you two might not be used to the unfamiliar environment, so she specifically asked me to take care of you."

"Oh my god, what a lovely child, like an angel."

Miss Windsor couldn't help but rub Alina's hand. "This child is much gentler than the Saintess!"

"Forehead,"

Upon hearing this, Alina thought of the past, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face. "The Holy Maiden is actually gentler than I am..."

"My God, she's so humble."

Windsor was immediately overwhelmed with maternal love and wanted nothing more than to hold Alina in her arms and melt her heart.

"That's enough, Windsor. Don't cause trouble for others."

Tanya had no choice but to pry her embarrassing best friend apart.

"Speaking of which, Miss Alina, isn't Mr. Ye in the palace? I haven't seen him since he came back."

"Ye Xiao?"

Alina tilted her head slightly, as if in thought, "I remember he secretly followed me to Hub Town, saying he had some important things to do."

"Eh?"

Miss Windsor covered her mouth in surprise. "Could it be because I told him before that I was worried about my father... Oh my god, I'm so touched."

"I don't even have the heart to say anything to you, Windsor, don't flatter yourself."

Tanya sighed and rubbed her forehead.

"Huh? Does that mean he won't save my father?"

Windsor panicked again.

"Um, that shouldn't be it either..."

Tanya scratched her head. "From what I understand, he should still try to save her..."

"Oh, so he still has feelings for me after all!"

"You... God above, Miss Alina, do you have any holy light magic that can heal brain damage?"

……

Unlike the peaceful atmosphere in the palace after Ella's occupation, a sense of oppression and tension is spreading in the Hub Town, located in the anomalous space.

The nobles of the duchy followed the spatial rift opened at the Royal Academy to this strange place, but no one had told them beforehand that the sky here seemed to be perpetually dark.

A crimson, enormous eye hangs in the sky, like a planet about to collide with the earth; even a casual glance at it sends chills down one's spine.

The nobles were housed in rooms at the research institute, and they even had to draw the curtains so they dared not peek out at the sky.

"What on earth is this godforsaken place? I never knew I'd have to come to such a heart-wrenching place."

Some noble young masters and ladies were making a ruckus in the second-floor hall, and the accompanying corporate players could only try their best to calm them down.

"We only need to stay for two more days, everyone. It was an unexpected turn of events. If the palace hadn't been attacked, we wouldn't have needed to move here."

With significantly fewer members, Raymond's squad's responsibilities were temporarily expanded, and they had to participate in maintaining order.

Meanwhile, Miss Mofeng crossed her arms and instead of offering any comfort, she muttered under her breath, "Those birdmen from the Starweavers squad always leave this kind of lousy work to us, and this place is really gloomy... This is more like the lair of an evil god."

"You can't speak so loudly, Miss Mofeng."

Da Shan wiped his sweat from his brow, saying, "The captain is already overwhelmed with work."

Chapter 229 The Hesitant Duke

The hall was noisy and chaotic. The pampered nobles of the duchy were already resentful because they had been chased away like rats overnight, and now the environment of their new place was so uncomfortable.

Ordinary company employees are also having their own doubts, and it's hard to say whether they regret coming here.

But it's like playing cards; once the stakes are placed, even if you get a bad hand, it's not so easy to back out now.

Just as the commotion was starting, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared outside the building.

Although bright firelight shone through the tightly drawn curtains, an invisible chill was spreading through the room.

Everyone fell silent without warning, as an intense unease, like a maggot clinging to a bone, suddenly surged up their spines.

If I had to describe it, it would be like falling into a dark lair teeming with venomous snakes, where you can feel the gazes of countless eyes fixed on your prey from the shadows.

Something extraordinary seems to have arrived outside.

Even though there were many people in the hall, the atmosphere was completely silent. The nobles and company employees looked at each other, and eventually all focused their attention on the door.

"Squeak-"

The door was pushed open, causing everyone's heart to skip a beat.

Fortunately, what entered was not something that terrified them, but rather a male executive with short, curly blond hair, Uriel.

He wore a monocle and held a closed book in his hand. After entering the hall, his gaze swept over everyone, but he gave a smile that seemed somewhat apologetic.

"I apologize for keeping you all waiting. This is the convergence point of the Tomb of the Gods, where chaotic divine energy fluctuations wander through the space. In fact, according to common sense, it is not suitable for ordinary humans to stay for long. Unfortunately, some unexpected things have happened."

With that, he snapped his fingers with his left hand, and azure runes emerged from the ground one after another like sprouting tree buds, with circles of calming spiritual energy spreading among the buds.

"However, I assure you all that the upgrade plan is undoubtedly progressing smoothly, and you will be able to board the ship as early as tomorrow night, without having to wait here any longer."

"Boarding?"

In the corner, Miss Mofeng muttered to herself, somewhat puzzled.

"It's the vehicle for Project Fireseed."

Raymond, who was standing nearby, answered for Mo Feng, "Were you not listening carefully during the discussion earlier?"

"Excuse my intrusion, Lord Uriel."

One of the nobles spoke up, “A vehicle that can accommodate so many of us must be quite large, but we haven’t seen anything like it since we arrived here.”

“Yes, if we really saw something like that, we wouldn’t feel so uneasy about the future of the plan. There are only two days left, and all we’ve seen here is this intact house and that bottomless pit on the ground.”

Others chimed in.

"Please calm down, everyone,"

Uriel smiled and said, "After all, it is a sacred object that can travel through space. It will take time to debug and prepare for the launch."

The nobles were clearly uneasy with this answer. But they knew Uriel's divine status as Adam, so they dared not question him too much.

Miss Mofeng muttered softly, "Why does this feel so unreliable?"

"Shh, shh, shh, keep your voice down."

Raymond said, his head aching.

After giving a few brief instructions to the employees, Uriel walked through the lobby and upstairs. This could barely be considered a reassurance from the company's higher authority, intended to give everyone peace of mind, but the actual effect was only mediocre.

After Uriel went upstairs, the nobles couldn't help but start discussing it again, including the strange and unsettling fluctuations of unknown origin and the authenticity of the Fire Seed Project.

"Speaking of which, where is Duke Tyron? We haven't seen him at all."
