My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!
Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Accepting Feng Yu

Eren watched Feng Yu, who was truly an overwhelming presence.

During the past few days, he had seen her at her weakest, unable to harness her strength. He had almost forgotten the formidable force she truly was.

Even outside the hall, he could sense the suffocating bloodlust that permeated the room. The terrifying aura only dissipated when Feng Yu spotted Eren in the distance.

"Are you alright?" he asked, stepping inside the hall carefully, avoiding the puddles of blood to keep his shoes untouched by blood.

Just moments ago, these people were brimming with arrogance, but now, they were unrecognizable.

One moment they were the strong existence of the Great Demon Sect and the next moment, they were dead. This was how easy it was for strong people to die in this World. All it needed was offending the wrong people.

Meanwhile, there was him. He was someone who had offended almost all the Overlord level existences through no fault of his own.

He could very well face the same outcome as these Ancestral Elders if he did not become strong enough to take his fate in his own hands.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking if you are alright?" Feng Yu asked Eren, treating him much differently than she used to treat him in the past.

She was much more friendly which was an odd feeling, especially when she had recovered her strength.

"Is something troubling you?" she asked, noticing Eren being distracted.

"It's nothing. You don't have to worry about it," Eren smiled in response, not telling her that his disciples had been kidnapped and taken to the Southern Continent.

With the kind of equation he had with Feng Yu right now, he was sure that she would try to help him if he just asked. Still, there was not much she could do.

As long as an Overlord was alive, another couldn't enter their territory as it was no different than declaring a war. That was why only after news of Feng Yu's death reached her, Mist planned to arrive.

Even if Feng Yu was alive at that time, Mist still had an excuse that she came to check after hearing of her death.

On the other hand, everyone knew that Mist was alive. Who wouldn't know when Mist was almost going crazy searching for Devourer all across the Southern Continent.

Still, Eren was sure that Feng Yu would have willingly broken that treaty and entered the Southern Continent if he asked her. She was not someone who liked owing favors.

Eren had two reasons he could not ask her to help. First, he wanted to save that favor for a more important time. And secondly, he didn't want Mist and Feng Yu to meet as his identity could be exposed.

To prevent their meeting, he had kidnapped Mist's daughter. After all that, how could he ask Feng Yu to meet Mist? It could only ruin everything he worked hard for.

As for saving his disciple, he was planning to do that on his own, while gaining strength for himself. Or rather, he was going to save his disciple while snatching strength in the Southern Continent.

"I was just thinking that I need a few weeks of rest after all this," Eren said as he slowly took off the Sect Master's ring. "I will be leaving the sect for the time being. So please assign someone else for that trip to the Western Continent for now."

Now that he had completed the option related to the sect master's position, he didn't need it anymore. It was also too much of a hassle to have it.

He found it hard to believe that so much had happened within one week of the Western Continent's envoy's visit.

He was also planning to go to the Western Continent with the invitation but more important things called for him. As for going to the Western Continent, he could do that anything. He didn't need an invitation for that.

He tossed the ring back to Feng Yu who caught it, seemingly surprised.

"Is there something that you don't like in the sect? If that's the case, I can change it!" Feng Yu asked, taken aback. She also appeared hesitant to hear that Eren was leaving the sect.

"How can I not like the sect where someone like you stays." Eren smiled, patting Feng Yu's head lightly.

He had momentarily forgotten that the person in front of him was an Overlord as his habit of patting his disciples and Guardian Spirit took over.

The moment he realized, it was already too late. He quickly retracted his hand, expecting Feng Yu to be angry. However, to his surprise, she didn't say anything.

Her reaction surprised him, making him wonder if this was still the same Overlord.

"Do you promise that you will return?" she asked Eren, not looking him in the eye. She turned her back towards him. She wanted to stop him, maybe even forcefully keep him back.

At the same time, she hesitated, not wanting him to hate her. She was also conflicted about her feelings toward him as he belonged to Xiu Ying.

Looking at her strange reaction, Eren was also surprised. In this moment, she wasn't an Overlord but just a person who seemingly cared for him. Was it because he was her savior? He wasn't sure.

To test his theory, he stepped forward. He knew that if he was wrong, he might actually lose his life. Still, he tested it.

Stepping forward, he wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her from behind.

"I promise I will. This is my home. Where else will I go?" he whispered in her ears, partially expecting her to reveal killing intent or attack him directly.

Contrary to his expectation, Feng Yu didn't show any hostility. She stayed silently, not reacting in the least.

"Good. That is a promise. If you break this promise, I will kill you myself," she said.

Eren didn't know what to do now. Did this girl really start to accept him? He didn't test the limits for now, knowing how to be content.

He took off his hands and turned around to leave. It was time for Ren Necroline to disappear and Devourer to make an appearance.
