My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Chapter 40: A woman who could

The realization that he had trespassed into the private space of one of the four Overlords of the Great Demon Sect sent a chill down Eren's spine.

With a surge of adrenaline, Eren's mind snapped back into focus. He needed to find a way out of this situation.

If he was seen here, then he didn't even want to imagine the outcome.

The Sect Master hadn't noticed his presence until now, which was his biggest advantage.

He slowly moved away, hiding himself behind a wall. At the same time, he tried to calm his heart as much as possible.

After a few seconds, the Sect Master turned around. Fortunately, Eren was already hiding by now.

As Eren heard the sound of the water stop, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. It meant the Sect Master was finished with the shower.

It was only a matter of time before she stepped out of the bathroom.

Eren knew he couldn't waste a single second. He started moving towards the exit, trying to make no noise if possible.

Meanwhile, the Sect Master picked up a nearby towel and started drying herself, unaware of Eren's presence.

In a haste, Eren's foot accidentally knocked over a small vase.

His face immediately went pale as he saw the vase falling. In fear, it was as if superhuman instincts took over his body as he leapt forward, catching the vase before it could hit the ground.

The Sect Master stepped out of the bathroom.

She walked towards her clothes that were placed on the bed, only to stop as her hands were about to touch her clothes.

She turned around, looking in the distance. A frown appeared on her face as she noticed that a vase was missing from her room.

....

Outside the courtyard, Eren ran as fast as he could with the vase still in his hand.

He didn't even have the time to put the vase back. The most important thing for now was to not be seen.

He kept the ordinary looking vase in his System Space as he hid behind a tree to hide himself.

For quite some time, he kept glancing at the Courtyard to see if the Sect Master was coming out.

A few minutes had passed before the Sect Master actually came out. She was fully dressed now, but Eren still couldn't before the scene he had seen before.

The Sect Master released her Divine Consciousness, covering the entire Core Region as if she was looking for someone or something.

Eren ran the Aura Control Method as best as he could, worried that with the slightest flaw, he could be detected.

Fortunately, that didn't happen. The Sect Master soon retracted her Divine Consciousness, seemingly confused.

She couldn't see anything out of place in the sect. And more importantly, she couldn't sense the vase.

It was something that belonged to her. So even if it was taken out of the Sect, she would have been able to sense it. But this time, she couldn't even feel it.

It was as if the vase was kept in a place where even her Divine Sense couldn't find it.

Eren remained hidden behind the tree not far from the Sect Master.

After a few more minutes passed, the Sect Master gave up on the search. It was impossible to know what she was thinking as she flew up, going to the Main Palace.

One when she disappeared from his view, Eren wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He confirmed that no one was there before he made up his mind and went to the other courtyard.

As he reached the other courtyard, he used the same method.

Celeste opened the door from the inside and Eren entered the place.

"Please don't be the wrong house this time," he mumbled as he searched for the owner of the house.

Once again, he walked to the bedroom where the door was left open.

He carefully opened the door and looked inside.

He noticed Great Elder Xiu Ying lying on the bed, seemingly drawing something.

Confirming that he was at the right place, he let out a sigh and entered the room.

"Great Elder, I'm here to-" he called out to make his presence known. But before he could finish his sentence, he stepped.

He saw the portraits hanging on the wall, all depicting him. Some of these portraits had him without any clothes as well.

While there were some in which the Great Elder was with him, sitting with a child.

"This..." Eren didn't know how to react. This level of obsession went beyond his expectations.

Why did it appear less like she had fallen in love with him and more like she had become a stalker?

The Great Elder was immersed in creating a new portrait of her so-called husband when she heard a man's voice.

Her heart stirred as the love seed within her reacted. She could never forget this voice. This was the voice of the man she loved.

She was like a child as she sat up. Tears of joy welled up in her eyes as she turned around to see him standing there.

She had never expected him to come to her, despite all the risks involved. Was this true love? She wondered.

Before Eren could react, he felt a warm embrace as the Great Elder appeared before him, wrapping his arms around him.

Eren didn't know how to react. He knew that this was all because of the love seed. It wasn't that she truly loved him. But still, he couldn't deny that she was the prettiest woman he had seen. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She was strong, but she looked weak, igniting the feeling in a man that made him want to protect her.

Although it wasn't to the point of making the man kill himself, but even without the charm, this was a woman who could make any man fall for her.

A long time passed. The women remained in Eren's embrace, not saying anything. It was as if the time had come to a halt.
