The Villain Saint is my secondary account

A familiar shriek came from some unknown corner of the valley, ethereal and distant.

Ye Xiao found a spot by a stream a little away from the pool, climbed up a tree trunk, and took out a bundle of rope from his backpack.

In the wild, he usually ties himself to a high tree trunk to sleep, which avoids most of the trouble in the jungle.

“Ye Xiao…” Dong Muge clung to the swaying tree branch, his face filled with terror, “…Can you help me get down…”

"I was wondering if your profession wasn't a hunter?" Ye Xiao was speechless, looking at the longbow on the other person's back.

He had no choice but to scavenge the branches to reach the tree where the other person was, and then use the rope to wrap around the other person's upper body and the tree trunk.

"Ah...don't get so close..." Dong Muge resisted Ye Xiao's hand.

"Then do it yourself." Ye Xiao said irritably, throwing the end of the rope onto Dong Muge.

In the dim light, Dong Muge caught a long, thin object. For some reason, it felt oily and cold to the touch.

Until the object slid along her palm, a pair of eyes the size of mung beans grew out from the "rope end".

"Ah!!! Snake!!!" Dong Muge screamed, his foot slipped, and the whole tree branch shook.

Ye Xiao, being the quick-witted person he was, was not going to be shaken off the tree by this accident. But as he held on to the branch, he saw Dong Muge fall into the stream below with a splash. He couldn't help but curse under his breath and, with no other choice, jumped in after him.

Although this is just a player who has just left a peaceful and stable life and come to another world, it is normal for him to be clumsy, and theoretically we should be more tolerant.

But Ye Xiao still found it hard to keep a straight face.

The icy water soaked through my body, and the rushing stream was deeper than it looked.

The water was rushing and splashing as Ye Xiao swam with all his might. After a few ups and downs, he finally grabbed Dong Muge's travel cloak, which was fluttering in the water.

He popped his head out of the water, his left hand lightly gripping the staff behind his back. "Summon Wind!"

The wind carried the two of them up from the water, and a light rain fell on the shore.

"Phew..." Ye Xiao patted his soaked clothes and dragged the unusually heavy woman toward a tree trunk.

He looked around and was shocked to find that, because of the commotion he had just gone through, he had ended up by the pool by accident.

Then, he saw a naked girl on the water, stroking her long, beige hair, staring blankly at him.

Under the moonlight, her beautiful body was reflected on the lake. Her fair and tender skin showed that she had taken very good care of herself. Her upper and lower body curves were unexpectedly full. When I first met her at the tavern, I thought she was a bratty kid. I didn’t expect that the figure under the furry cloak was surprisingly mature.

After making that immediate assessment in his mind, and looking at the trembling, sea-blue eyes of the noble young lady, Ye Xiao sighed and uttered a single word:

"Grass."

"what--!!!"

A sharp scream immediately pierced the sky.

……

"Hey, let me make this clear beforehand, I really didn't know anyone was taking a shower there."

Looking at the noble mercenaries surrounding him, Ye Xiao's lips twitched. "You can doubt my purpose, but you can't doubt my character."

"Go to hell! Go ...

"Isn't that the kid from the tavern?" Arnold, the man in the trench coat, pushed through the crowd and walked towards Ye Xiao. "You actually followed me all the way here?"

"Haha, it must just be that we happen to be on the same route. I didn't expect to meet you all so coincidentally," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

"Bullshit," Arnold laughed in exasperation. "Where's your guide?"

"It's not that I couldn't bear to hire someone, I just wanted to travel on my own." Ye Xiao shrugged. "I thought about it, and traveling with a purpose isn't pure enough. Independent travel is the true meaning of life."

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

"I can only say that being shallow in thought is not necessarily a bad thing."

"What the hell do you mean?! Beat him up!"

"Hey, let me make this clear beforehand," Ye Xiao said in a deep voice, holding his staff to block Dong Muge, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and looking at a group of eager mercenaries, "I'm pretty good at fighting, you know."

The mercenaries rushed forward.

This was an extremely brutal duel; Ye Xiao was knocked down by a single blow before he could even unleash two fireballs.

He was then bound hand and foot and taken to the camp.

"You dare call yourself a fighter with this skill level?!"

Arnold kicked Ye Xiao, who was bound like a pretzel, and casually threw the knife he had taken from Ye Xiao to a mercenary beside him. "A mage should just practice his spells. Why are you trying to carry a knife like others? Do you really think you can master both magic and martial arts?"

Laughter filled the air, and the campsite instantly became a sea of ​​joy.

Ye Xiao, his face bruised and swollen, shrugged.

Actually, given his skill level, it would have been difficult for this group to catch him if he had just run away directly. But since Dong Muge was dizzy, it would have been too difficult for him to carry the woman and run away.

On the other hand, he also wanted to try to take this opportunity to rescue the old guide, Blaise.

Chapter Fifty-Three Kidnapping

"What are you looking at, you filthy scoundrel!" Noticing Ye Xiao looking around, the noble lady wrapped in a blanket next to her roared like an enraged cat.

"Who's looking at you? You're so small," Ye Xiao pouted. "I'm looking at that pastor. He's much better looking than you."

"Hey!" The pastor, who was praying nearby, smiled sheepishly upon hearing this.

"You..." The noblewoman was furious. "Melina, you're still laughing!"

“After all, you were praised.” The priest named Milana covered her mouth. “But this guy must have said it on purpose to annoy you, Eileen. Don’t take it to heart, hehe.”

"You're still laughing!" Eileen trembled with anger. Being spied on was bad enough, but what was most disgusting was that this jerk actually said it wasn't pretty!

"You better behave yourself!" Arnold, standing next to Ye Xiao, hurriedly shouted, not wanting this guy to make his young lady cry.

"Your young lady has wronged my character, so I have to defend myself." Ye Xiao continued to look around brazenly. Since so many people were watching him anyway, he would be caught peeking anyway, so he might as well openly look at the camp setup. "How is that girl who fell into the water?"

"Hansa, what's the situation with that girl?" Arnold turned to ask a swordsman in a brown jacket beside him.

"Uh." The swordsman glanced at Ye Xiao, then leaned close to Arnold's ear and whispered something.

Arnold's expression changed slightly, and he almost blurted out, "What do you mean?"

"that is……"

"Huh?" Arnold stared at Ye Xiao with a strange look. "...The girl you're talking about, is she the one you...rescued from the water?"

"Otherwise what?" Ye Xiao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like that. Why did that look at her like she was looking at a mental patient? "I can't exactly ask your young lady, can I? Did she sink herself while taking a bath?"

"I can't take it anymore, I'm going to kill this scoundrel!" "Hey, Eileen, don't rush, don't rush." ​​Priestess Milana quickly pulled back the noble lady who was about to rush forward, and helped her wrap herself in a blanket.

Arnold frowned, stared at Ye Xiao for a while, instructed the others to "guard the young lady well," and then turned and walked towards the tent on the side.

"Answer the question! How can you be so rude?" Ye Xiao craned her neck.

What kind of plane?

With no one responding, Ye Xiao could only lean against the tree trunk and close his eyes to rest, feeling rather awkward.

His wet clothes made him feel uncomfortable.

A while later, Eileen appeared to have changed her clothes and came out of the tent. She saw Ye Xiao sleeping against a tree trunk and inexplicably became furious. "Hey!"

"I'm talking to you, hey!"

Relying on the mercenary guards beside her, Eileen picked up a small stone and threw it at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao opened her eyes slightly, instinctively preparing to dodge, but then paused, letting the stone hit her shoulder.

"How can you mistreat prisoners like this? Where is your aristocratic upbringing?"

"How dare you sleep here!" Eileen said irritably.

"No, what's it to you if I'm sleeping?" Ye Xiao asked, puzzled. "If you have a question, just ask. This is the first time I've seen an interrogator who hits people instead of asking questions. What does this mean? Are you a sadist?"

"You...you're all tied up, how dare you still have such a temper?!" Eileen pointed angrily at Ye Xiao, then picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at him.

"Hey, what are you doing! Stop it! Are you crazy?!" Ye Xiao tried to dodge helplessly, but luckily the girl had only picked up small, harmless stones, so they didn't hurt much when they hit him. She didn't throw them at his head either, but the insults were quite strong. "Have some manners! Whose brat are you anyway? I'm really speechless!"

Perhaps Ye Xiao was just too talkative, because Eileen finally got tired of just throwing stones and rushed up to actually try to hit him.

Ye Xiao was still planning his escape route when he was completely taken aback when this idiot suddenly rushed up and offered himself up right in front of him.

Hiding a knife in one's sleeve is a skill Ye Xiao mastered after being constantly hunted down in his previous life.

The mercenary team searched him, but only found the small bag and the visible staff and sword.

But when he realized he was about to be caught, Ye Xiao had already hidden the spatial ring under his tongue, and secretly concealed several small razor blades in his sleeve.

After all, without some hidden tricks, how could they dare to let themselves be caught so easily?

He flicked his fingers through the lining of his sleeve, the blade fell into his palm, and with a flick of his wrist, he cut the hemp rope—a practiced and fluid motion.

Eileen had only taken two steps when she was surprised to see Ye Xiao, who had been tightly bound, suddenly break free of the broken ropes.

Before the mercenaries beside her could react, the wet and smelly man in front of her had already grabbed Eileen like a ghost, and pressed the gleaming blade in his hand against the girl's snow-white neck.

"Don't move!" Ye Xiao uttered the classic villain line in a deep voice, "If you come any closer, I'll kill her!"

The two swordsman mercenaries immediately stopped in their tracks, staring at the girl in Ye Xiao's hands, not daring to move.

"Hey!?" Eileen seemed to only then realize she was being held hostage, and cried out in surprise, "What are you doing!? Let me go!!"

"You have the nerve to talk back to me? You got arrested and you were just as grumpy!" Ye Xiao couldn't help but complain, while slowly moving forward with the girl's neck between his arms.

"Let go of me!" Eileen grabbed Ye Xiao's hard arm with both hands and bit down hard.

"Ouch!" Ye Xiao winced in pain, and couldn't help but hide the knife in his palm and flick the girl's forehead with his finger. "Are you crazy? If you're going to be a hostage, just be a hostage. Can't you have some professional ethics?!"

"How dare you hit me!?" Even when restrained, the hot-tempered young lady was furious. In her anger, tears welled up in her eyes. "Waaah..."

Ye Xiao's expression began to falter.

So you think a flick on the head is more powerful than a knife? You don't cry when a knife is held to your throat, but you cry when flicked on the head?!

"What's going on now?!" Hearing Eileen's shout, Arnold rushed out of the tent, only to be dumbfounded by the scene before him. "What the hell are you all doing?! How did you let this guy capture the young lady?!"

"This is your young lady throwing her life away. Remember to report her when you get out," Ye Xiao said, extending the razor blade from his palm again. "Dong Muge, where is that girl who fell into the water? Make her come out!"

“You…” Arnold’s expression was complicated. “Go find it yourself in that tent. Let me tell you, if you dare to hurt the young lady, I guarantee you won’t leave this forest alive.”

"And Blaze, the tour guide you've taken hostage, I'm taking him with me too!" Ye Xiao shouted.

"Don't be too greedy!" Arnold stared intently at Ye Xiao.

"Waaaaah! Arnold, he hit me!" Just then, Eileen suddenly cried out.

"What?! You bastard!!!" Arnold clenched his fists, his eyes seemingly spitting fire.

"Holy crap, I only flicked her!" Ye Xiao's scalp tingled. "This little brat is lying!"

"I'm not a little kid!!" Eileen shouted angrily, kicking her legs wildly.

"Then you're really pathetic, even a little kid is older than you!" Ye Xiao said angrily.

What does that mean? Eileen was stunned for a moment, then instantly flew into a rage, "Ah!!!"

"Seriously, even my cats aren't as agile as you..." Ye Xiao felt like he was holding a fully automatic boxing machine, his eyes fierce. "...Hand over Blaze! Otherwise, you can wait to collect your young lady's corpse!"

"Damn it." Arnold, sweat beading on his forehead, waved his hand to the side, and a gaunt old man with a collar around his neck was brought out by the mercenaries. "I'd like to see how you're going to take this old guy away!"

Chapter Fifty-Four Strange Phenomena in the Cave

"Whether you can take her or not is not up to you, Mr. Blaise, come with me!" Ye Xiao, holding the restless Eileen hostage, retreated into the tent where Dong Muge was.

However, the tent was empty.

"Dong Muge? Dong Muge, where are you?!"

"I...I'm here."

Ye Xiao suddenly turned around and found the girl, soaking wet, standing quietly behind him.

"Holy crap!" Ye Xiao shuddered. "Okay, I'm glad you're alright. Can you walk now? We need to run away."

Dong Muge nodded silently.

"What are you talking about?!" Eileen, who was trapped between his elbows, suddenly shouted angrily, "Don't drip water on me!!"

"Children shouldn't interrupt when adults are talking!"
