The Villain Saint is my secondary account

The demon carried Ella and Susie westward, through the merman legion's blockade, until they reached a suburban forest northwest of Bluemane Bay.

As night deepened, the two monstrous creatures blended seamlessly into the dark night sky, so no one failed to notice their landing.

But Ella and Susie could see a long line of refugees fleeing from the main city of Bluemane Bay not far from the foot of the mountain.

Torches and oil lamps, like scattered stars, formed a silver river stretching along the coastline.

After setting the two down, the two demons left behind some supplies and then suddenly flapped their wings and flew into the sky.

Only after the demon's figure could no longer be seen did Susie Yun hesitate for a long time before speaking softly.

"...Sister Ella, what just happened..."

"Um... well... actually... I'm a little confused too."

Ella felt conflicted when she saw Susie looking at her.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Normally, as Ye Xiaoshi's Ella, she would never forgive that despicable world-destroying witch, no matter what.

Even if some of her memories seem to be faulty, the hatred for the world-destroying witch buried deep in her bones will not fade.

But now that I've become this guy, it makes... this situation completely unsolvable.

Even if she confessed, "I am Ye Xiao," others would have to believe her. Apart from Li Cheng, she felt that most people would rather believe that the current Ye Xiao was just her puppet than believe that she was Ye Xiao.

This is really frustrating. In a way, Ella even finds herself having no way to prove that she is Ye Xiao.

"Hmm...but, to be honest, Sister Ella, I...I'd rather believe you than Miss Samael."

Just then, Su Xiyun spoke up again.

"Actually, I don't know much about what happened in my previous life. Whether you did those things, Sister Ella, is not important to me."

“You brought me back to Ye Xiao’s side, and you also know that my hands weren’t exactly clean when I was trying to achieve my goals… so I have no right to criticize others.”

"So... the only thing I want to know is, Sister Ella, you really love Ye Xiao... right?"

"Uh, of course, I love Ye Xiao the most!"

Ella always felt a strange sense of shame about loudly admitting that she loved herself.

"Well... if I ask you some questions about Ye Xiao... could you answer them?"

Susie Yun said softly.

"……Well?"

Ella crossed her arms, raised her eyebrows slightly, and feigned seriousness. "Hmm, so you're saying you want to challenge me?"

"No...that's not what I meant!"

Miss Su blushed and waved her hand hastily, "I just... just in case, otherwise I'll feel a little uneasy..."

"Don't be nervous, it's just a joke."

Ella smiled and gently pinched Miss Su's cheek, feeling its smooth, warm texture. "Ask whatever you want, I still have the confidence of a... uh, first wife!"

Good heavens, how could she possibly lose to Ella, who knows Ye Xiao better?

"Well, then, I'll ask..."

Susie Yun nervously grabbed the hem of her skirt and rubbed it. "When Mr. Ye usually drinks grapefruit tea, does he use the mint leaf spice container or the dried tangerine peel spice container?"

……ah?

Ella paused, then suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Wait a minute, which one am I supposed to pick?

The taste seems pretty good.

Ella couldn't remember whether she drank more mint grapefruit tea or tangerine peel grapefruit tea.

Could Susie Yun have made a mistake? I don't actually have a particularly strict distinction, so should I just answer "take both"?

"Um, mint...? Actually, I don't think there's much difference between the two..."

After hesitating for a moment, Ella finally answered, forcing herself to speak.

But as soon as she spoke, she saw Su Xiyun's brows furrow slightly.

Did she answer incorrectly? That can't be, right?

"Well... actually, Mr. Ye doesn't care which one it is, he will only take the one that is closer to him."

Susie Yun explained, "But Sister Ella, you said 'it doesn't matter,' which is quite close... However, Miss Samael should be able to say it accurately."

Seriously, this is way too hardcore!

Ella broke out in a cold sweat. The key point was that when she thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true, because she was always too lazy to extend that little bit of distance.

This was simply unbelievable to her; she had actually lost?

She actually came in second place in the knowledge competition where she knew Ye Xiao the most?!

Uh oh, I might still be third place... This is unbelievable!

Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Gentle Miss Su

Susie Yun then asked a few more strange questions, making Ella extremely embarrassed.

She even began to ask herself – Do I really love myself?

Fortunately, Susie Yun didn't dwell on it too much. Seeing that Ella had started to bury her face in her hands and shut herself off, she quickly squatted down and gently comforted her, "What Sister Ella said is actually pretty much true. At least I believe that Sister Ella's feelings for Mr. Ye are definitely not fake."

Upon hearing this, Ella raised her head slightly. "...Do you still believe me?"

"Ah."

Susie Yun smiled and nodded.

"Miss Su!!!"

With tears in her eyes, Ella excitedly hugged Susie Yun.

Her fluffy head only reached Su Xiyun's chin, so Su Xiyun hesitated slightly, but finally smiled and reached out to gently touch it.

Ella enjoyed the soft embrace from the young girl and was immediately satisfied, her self-doubt vanishing instantly.

But since Miss Su was so gentle, she couldn't just pretend to be stupid and let today's events slide. At the very least, she had to find a suitable angle to explain.

So she pressed her face against the girl's chest, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke softly:

"As for my own life, I do retain some... well, just a little bit, memories from my previous life."

"what……"

Su Xiyun spoke with a slight surprise.

Although I had heard about it once from Miss Samael, this time it was Ella herself who spoke, so it carried a different weight.

"Some very fragmented, incomplete memories. But that doesn't mean I'll condone my past actions..."

"You, Ye Xiao, my fellow members of the Seven Stars Society, my loyal followers, and countless people who risked their lives to help me... these are all things I cherish, and I will not, and absolutely will not, allow anyone to destroy them."

Ella could sense that even if she said she knew nothing, Miss Su probably wouldn't bring it up. But she felt that telling the truth was a way of responding to Miss Su's kindness.

"Does Ye Xiao... does he know?"

Susie asked.

“He knew… For some reason, he also had a vague memory of this world being reversed once, and he told me about it… In fact, this is why he wasn’t very friendly when he first met me in this life.”

Before transmigrating, Ye Xiao had sent a message to his friends saying, "That silver-haired, red-eyed Holy Maiden of Light is the final evil boss." Su Xiyun would know this if she asked some of the old members of the Seven Luminaries Society.

Therefore, Ella couldn't hide the fact that Ye Xiao also knew about the world's rewind.

“But he has very little memory of her, and it is very vague… because if he remembered Miss Samael, he would have told me.”

This statement is rather broad, but it is all true.

"Well……"

Su Xiyun was also pondering. She wasn't upset that Ye Xiao hadn't told her about it. More than that, she was concerned about the reason why Ye Xiao's memory was distorted.

"Perhaps we should also tell Ye Xiao about Miss Samael's matter. What do you think, Sister Ella?"

"Yes, I will use the Kingdom of God to tell him about this."

Ella stated confidently, "But after this, we also need to think about how to respond to Miss Samael next time... I feel like she wants to tear me apart."

"puff."

Susie Yun covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"...What's so funny about that!"

Ella unconsciously puffed out her cheeks.

"No, it's just that I feel Ella can be quite cute at times."

Susie Yun rubbed Ella's head again.

"Hmph, what are you saying? I'm obviously very cute all the time."

Ella didn't know how she had the nerve to say such a thing.

"Yes Yes."

Miss Su tilted her head, her gentle tone like soothing a restless younger sister, "It's just that Ella usually seems to have a very pure and elegant feel to her, it's rare to see another side of her."

"That's because you don't spend enough time with me."

Ella proudly puffed out her unremarkable chest, "Come stay with me for a few more days, and you'll see how kind I am!"

"Well,"

Susie put her index finger to her lips and thought for a moment, "But if possible, I would actually prefer to be with Mr. Ye."

After she finished speaking, Ella was speechless.

This was the first time she had ever failed to win Ye Xiao's favor in front of others...

Oh, Skadi and Greta seem to be about the same, never mind then.

"Dream on! He's going to have sex in the wild now, so you don't have a choice. You'll have to stay with me anyway!"

Without a word, Ella opened a portal and pulled Susie Yun inside.

……

After talking things out, Ella and Susie Yun gained a deeper understanding of each other.

Another day has passed in the blink of an eye.

Bluemane Bay fell as expected. Holding out for even a day was a testament to Legion Commander Lenas's brilliant military talent.

The Ocean Legion and the Blue Mane Bay garrison bought time for the citizens to evacuate. In order to preserve their forces, they eventually abandoned the main city and retreated to Bailu Town, a smaller town of a secondary level, to rest temporarily.

Of course, they couldn't even hold the well-defended main city of Bluemane Bay, so this small city naturally couldn't possibly stop the merfolk army. According to Lenas's plan, they would continue westward, cross the Weeping Forest, and reach the fortress on the western border of the Southern Province, "Emerald Wall".

There they will join forces with the troops sent from the main cities of the western part of the southern province, and officially engage in a fierce battle with the merfolk army.

Meanwhile, Su Xiyun did receive a friend request from Miss Samael. Although the other party's ID, "Peace is Blessing," was rather subtle, Su Xiyun didn't immediately realize that it was the aloof Miss Samael who had added her. Nevertheless, she accepted the request.

However, the other party has not yet specified when the next meeting will take place, so we can only wait for now.

The perspective shifts to Ye Xiao's side.

It was afternoon, and after two days of arduous travel, he and the academy team finally came into view of the "Cold Crow Pass," a vital pass that stood majestically between the Hengyuan Mountains, connecting the empire's coastal hills with the heart of the southern provinces.

"We're here! We've arrived!!"

Looking out at the continuous brown mountain range at the edge of the horizon, the students in the group, covered in mud, shouted excitedly.

Including the journey to the temporary camp, it took nearly three days of marching through the wilderness.

Everyone was evacuating in a hurry, and the supplies they were carrying were also in very short supply.

Even during their brief rest, they dared not relax. Everyone was on edge, and the terrifying demons could be seen flying overhead from time to time. Even the slightest rustle of wind could make their hearts leap into their throats, fearing that they would be discovered by the demon legion's scouts and bring about their annihilation.

But in any case, their arduous journey is finally coming to an end...

Before the joy of surviving the ordeal had faded, a piercing shriek rang out, and a meteor, flashing with fire and trailing a long flame, shot out from the other end of the distant forest and crashed into the wall of the magnificent fortress.
