“What! You…you are actually…” Greta’s childish voice came from behind the door.

"Hahaha! You didn't expect that, did you? I'm back!" This was Lucyville's timid voice.

Ye Xiao couldn't understand the meaning of these two sentences, and he didn't understand why Greta's voice sounded so terrified.

"Damn it! I underestimated you!"

"Hmph, demon of hell, in the name of the Imperial Law and the Holy Temple, I will put you to trial!"

Why does this sound so familiar... Ye Xiao was stunned. And isn't Lucy Vil herself a demon god? What is she saying here?

Then another series of clanging noises echoed in the room.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao became a little worried. Were these two going to start fighting?

So he quickly turned the handle and found that the door was indeed not locked.

Then, through the slightly ajar door, he saw a chubby golden cat on the pristine white bed, its two paws gripping a pillow in front of it, meowing loudly, "Ridiculous! You think you can judge me?"

The purple-haired girl, Lucyville, stood barefoot at the foot of the bed, a sheet over her head, waving another pillow at the kitten: "Ha! I will become your divine punishment!"

"Prepare to die!" "Aaaaaah!!!"

The cat and the girl yelled and swung their pillows at each other, sending downy feathers fluttering around the room like snowflakes.

...No way, are you guys three-year-olds?! Are you just having a fit of madness first thing in the morning?!

Ye Xiao was immediately filled with question marks.

But when others are fooling around in their own rooms, if you really want to say something, it seems like he's the one with the problem.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Xiao's lips twitched, but she chose to hold her breath and quietly close the door.

Just then, a large hand suddenly patted his shoulder.

Ye Xiao shuddered and immediately looked to his side.

Before him stood Li Cheng's hearty smile. "Hey buddy, what are you peeking at so early in the morning?"

"I give up! You're really toxic!" Ye Xiao felt a chill run down her spine and quickly turned to look back into the room.

Sure enough, the kittens Greta and Lucyville, clutching their pillows, were both stunned on the bed, staring intently in their direction.

"Ouch." Ye Xiao's face instantly fell.

The peaceful morning begins to crumble from this moment on.

It's no wonder Ye Xiao didn't notice Li Cheng. Although professional swordsmen are highly vigilant about their surroundings during battle, no one would keep scanning on all the time in a sufficiently peaceful environment.

Just like in the game, you'd be wary of the Golem's ultimate if you saw a bush, but nobody would hold down Flash in the fountain to defend against the Golem's ultimate.

After all, being too tense is bad for your mental state; you should relax when you need to.

Ye Xiao just didn't expect that relaxing would lead to such a troublesome situation.

……

When breakfast time arrived, Ye Xiao was slicing buttered bread at the long table, her head still buzzing.

Greta was already quite a handful, but with Lucyville joining in, things were really getting out of hand.

Even now, the kitten nestled on Ye Xiao's lap is still pounding his chest with its paw pads, yelling, "Shameless! Shameless! Peeping into a young girl's boudoir!"

"But... no matter how you look at age or species, you can't be considered young anymore... Ouch, don't bite! I was wrong, I was wrong! It's against the rules to bite!"

Seeing Ye Xiao suffering, Li Cheng chuckled and pointed fingers from the side, saying, "Brother Ye, all I can say is that what you did was really unethical."

Ye Xiao grimaced and pulled his finger out of Greta's mouth, wishing he could smash Li Cheng's head with a hammer.

“But speaking of which, Brother Ye, about our previous agreement…” Li Cheng picked up a piece of bread, chewed it, “How so? Of course, I was just asking casually, there’s no rush.”

"Huh?...Oh, you mean that thing?" Ye Xiao stroked the cat's head to soothe it, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered.

Before attempting the prison break at Sihai Prison, he did indeed have an agreement with Li Cheng...

"Okay, then let's go to the lounge on the third floor after we finish eating, and we'll talk to you there."

“Sure, very generous, Brother Ye.” Li Cheng nodded happily, then picked up another piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth.

Chapter Two: I Am Ella

After meal.

Ocean Sanctuary, third-floor corridor, entrance to the lounge.

Following Ye Xiao's instructions, Li Cheng arrived at the room, only to find the door tightly closed, as if someone was already inside.

Strange, wasn't Ye Xiaogang still downstairs clearing out the dishes? How come he's here so soon?

So he reached out and knocked lightly on the door a few times.

"Dong dong dong."

"Please come in~"

A soft, melodious response came from inside the room.

what?

That voice... is it the Holy Maiden?

Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, but still pushed open the door.

As expected, in the soft, misty light, a silver-haired girl in a white dress sat quietly on the sofa in the lounge.

The other person had a smile on their lips, and a pair of crimson eyes were silently watching him.

"Um... Good morning, Your Majesty. I'm sorry, I think I've probably gone to the wrong room."

Li Cheng politely greeted them and left the room.

Then he glanced at the door number and then at the signs in the hallway.

That's strange... Is there another lounge on the third floor?

It seems the Holy Maiden has used this room ahead of schedule. Let's talk to Ye Xiao about changing rooms later.

"Um... Li Cheng, you didn't go to the wrong place."

Li Cheng's hand holding the doorknob trembled slightly.

Saintess... you actually called me by my name?

Before, they always called each other "Mr. Li". Why are they suddenly being so affectionate?

Not quite right.

Li Cheng vaguely recalled the last time his mother called him by his first name.

To be honest, it wasn't a very pleasant memory—"Li Cheng! You actually failed me again!?"

Cough cough... Never mind, don't overthink it, it was probably just a casual remark.

Li Cheng pulled his wandering thoughts back and pushed open the door again.

But what does "I didn't go the wrong way" mean? Could it be that the Holy Maiden was waiting for me?

Inside the room was still that beautiful and charming girl in white, smiling at him. For a moment, he felt a sense of unreality, as if he had stumbled into a dream.

"Um, Holy Maiden, good morning." Li Cheng scratched his head and greeted her again. It was the first time he had been alone in a room with the Holy Maiden, and he felt inexplicably nervous for some reason. "Um, isn't Brother Ye here? He... he asked me to come. If you need to use this place now, I can go and talk to him to find another place."

"...Come in first, and close the door behind you."

"Ah, yes, Your Majesty." Li Cheng closed the door behind him, then noticed a soundproof array emitting a blue light at his feet. "Uh, what's this...?"

Just in case, after all, I'm only telling you.

Only talking to me?

What could the Holy Maiden possibly have to tell me alone?

Countless possibilities flashed through Li Cheng's mind for a moment, then returned to a blank.

Because he simply couldn't imagine what the saintess could possibly tell him.

"Wha...what is it, Your Majesty?" Li Cheng swallowed hard.

For some reason, looking into those captivatingly beautiful red eyes, his heart began to pound uncontrollably.

“Li Cheng.” Ella’s thin lips parted slightly.

"Huh? Yes." Li Cheng replied subconsciously.

"I am Ye Xiao."

“Oh…” Li Cheng nodded. “…Huh?”

Time seemed to freeze in that instant.

Li Cheng felt as if his brain had crashed.

He recognized every single word the Holy Maiden had just said, but he couldn't understand them at all when they were put together.

Am I Ye Xiao?

What does "I am Ye Xiao" mean?

Li Cheng stretched out a finger, pointed at Ella, then at the air beside him, then pointed at Ella again, and then at the air again.

He tried to make sense of the logic in the statement, but he soon realized it was a complete waste of time.

One sentence was enough to burn out his CPU.

“I know this might be a little hard for you to understand.” Ella flicked her finger, summoning a black tentacle to push a steaming cup of tea in front of Li Cheng. “So, I thought it would be more intuitive to explain it to you in this way.”

"All along, I have been Ye Xiao. We are actually the same person."

"So you'll see that Ye Xiao and I are always in sync. What we say and what we know are always perfectly synchronized."

"Wait...wait a minute, wait a minute, Your Majesty." Li Cheng rubbed his face. "I...that...I..."

What was I saying again? Oh, the Saintess's legs are so white.

No, wait... what was I trying to say?

Ella sighed softly.

Then, the door to the lounge was opened.

Ye Xiao suddenly walked in from the doorway and turned around to gently close the door.

"Brother Ye!"

Upon seeing Ye Xiao, Li Cheng felt as if he had found a lifeline.

The saintess's words gave him a dazed feeling that his mind was going to go haywire; if no one came to clear his head soon, his brain would really burn out.

"The Holy Maiden just said, she just said..."

"She just said she is me, right?"

"Oh right, how did you know?" Li Cheng's smile froze on his face.

"Dude, don't panic. Drink this cup of tea and calm down." Ye Xiao picked up the teacup on the table and handed it to Li Cheng.

Li Cheng took the teacup like a robot and took a sip.

"How so, have you calmed down?"

"Uh, probably?" Li Cheng nodded.

“When I first transmigrated, I actually… awakened as Ella,” Ye Xiao continued. “You heard me right. I initially awakened as Ella Haviere, the saintess standing next to me, in a dark dungeon.”

While Li Cheng was completely bewildered, Ye Xiao looked at him and began to recount her initial experience of time travel.

However, he only mentioned that he and Ella actually belonged to the same soul, without revealing that he was actually reborn and that his third body outside the present world was "Lydia".

It wasn't that Ye Xiao was wary of Li Cheng; it was just that the latter two matters involved too many mysteries and were too complicated, and they didn't help Li Cheng understand their current situation at all.

These two things only add to the instability.

But the relationship between Ye Xiao and Ella, well, it's really just a relationship of one being an alter ego.

Even if the whole world knew, nothing serious would happen.

The spell of creating an avatar is not so rare as to be unprecedented; it's just that the original body and the avatar are of different genders.
