My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character! - Chapter 246

Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Feng Yu’s Embrace
….

“Run away and don’t look back!”

Feng Yu sat on the ground, her arms wrapped around her knees. She had her eyes closed, her expressions uncomfortable as if she was remembering the uncomfortable past again.

“It is happening again…” She mumbled under her breath, remembering the day that her father died.

It was the day where the sky had turned red, as if blood could start raining at any moment.

A young man stood in front of her father, who looked like he was barely twenty years old. However, in front of his strength, even the world appeared to pale in comparison.

It was clear that her father couldn’t face that monster. His father could have tried to escape if he was to abandon the others.

Instead, he chose to protect Feng Yu. She could still hear him yelling at her, telling him to run away.

He told her that he was going to be fine and return safely. Even though she knew that it was a lie, but she still wanted to believe in it, even if it was a flawed hope.

She ran away with the others while her father stayed behind. She stayed in the Great Demon Sect, waiting for her father to return. However, he never returned.

From that day on, she had closed her heart. She only wanted one thing. It was to become so strong that she didn’t have to run away in the future.

She even received a godly opportunity and managed to become an Overlord of the Eastern Continent. She even chased after Devourer who was said to be close to that person.

The official story was that four Overlords worked together to take down the Devourer who was devouring innocent beings. However, the reality was something that only the Overlords knew.

Most of the people that the Devourer consumed were criminals or those people who were sent to kill him. He only killed those who wanted to kill him.

As for the reason that the four Overlords wanted him, it was because they wanted to find the whereabouts of that person who had disappeared into thin air.

She thought that she was never going to have a day where she was going to be protected by others. She was no longer the same girl who had to hide behind her father. She was strong and could protect herself.

Once again, she ended up in a situation where she had to be protected by someone. She was protected by a person who put his life on the line for her, just like her father had done.

She had steeled her heart, but whenever she thought about that man’s cold and bloody back, her heart momentarily returned to the time where she was just a child, hiding behind others.

It was a feeling that she hadn’t felt in a really long time. She couldn’t even remember the last time she felt something like this. It even felt as if cracks were developing around the wall that she had created around herself to keep others away from her.

She remembered what Eren was trying to say when sending her away. He stopped in the middle of his senses so she couldn’t hear what he was going to say.

Soon, the effects of the barrier were over. She could finally move freely. She stood up, making her mind about what she had to do.

She could leave this mountain range and free herself from these shackles to recover her strength. That was the best course of action. Even though she knew that any other choice was foolish, she had already made up her mind.

Even though it was foolish, she wasn’t going to abandon Eren.

Even if he was dead, she had to bring him back so he could get the proper burial that he deserved. And if he was alive, then even if she had to drag him on her shoulders, she was willing.

Instead of running away, she started walking back in the direction she came from. She could hear the occasional sound of explosions coming from the mountain, as if the battle was still ongoing.

She walked for only ten minutes when the sound of battle completely stopped. She heard the sound of footsteps extremely close to her. She even wondered if it was Eren.

“Is he back?” Her eyes gazed up with optimism. However, when the person came closer, she saw that it was Fey. She quickly hid behind a tree, covering her figure.

The Wind Tower Mage was missing, as if he had been killed by someone. Fey was all alone.

Fey also had a bloody figure, not appearing as if he was in any good condition. He looked more like he was going after Feng Yu, even if he had lost a subordinate.

He didn’t even stop to search through the mountain thoroughly, soon rushing past the area where Feng Yu was hiding.

It was clear that Fey didn’t expect her to still be in the Mountain of Loss, hence she didn’t think much about it.

He left the Mountain of Loss, and started searching the surroundings properly while flying in the direction of the Great Demon Sect.

Meanwhile, Feng Yu also increased her pace, going towards the depths of the Mountain of Loss.

After going far enough, Yelen abandoned Fey’s body, sending it to the realm of spirits and returned to the Mountain of Loss.

….

At the heart of the Mountain of Loss, Eren lay in the middle of a crater with a deeper wound on his chest that wasn’t there before. The wound was extremely close to his heart, as if the attack had barely missed him by a hair’s breadth.

Half the mountain appeared to have been obliterated in the battle. His face was ghostly pale, as if he had lost almost all his vitality. It seemed a miracle that he was still alive.

He remained on the ground, wondering when Feng Yu would return. He had already received a signal from Yelen that she was coming. His eyes were closed, giving the impression he had fainted, though he was still conscious.

Soon, a sweet scent filled the air. He knew the person he was waiting for had arrived.

Feng Yu approached, gently placing her head on his chest, listening for his heartbeat. If Eren hadn’t known better, he might have thought she was embracing him.
