My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character! - Chapter 260

Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Feng Yu, the frightened rabbit
The woman entered the portal and appeared inside the Palace, avoiding being seen by anyone along the way.

“You look like you have made yourself very comfortable,” Feng Yu removed her hood, revealing her dark hair that had a reddish hue to them.

“Since I can die at any moment, I might as well enjoy the moment,” Eren answered, acting slightly overdramatic to let Feng Yu remember that he was the one putting his life on the line for her.

Feng Yu didn’t say anything else. She just turned her head away, realizing that he was right. He could have just said no to her offer or received even better offers from the Ancestral Elders which would have been much safer.

Instead, he selected her. He saved her life by putting his life on the line, and even now he was doing the same.

“I was just messing with you,” Eren stood up, approaching her from behind, there being only a few inches of distance between their bodies.

“Let alone one time, even if I have to do this a hundred times, I won’t have a single complaint,” he said.

“You!” Feng Yu didn’t turn around, only feeling his warm breath around the back of her neck as he spoke.

She stepped forward, creating some distance between them. Even she didn’t understand what she felt. The only thing she knew was that her heartbeat kept increasing every time Eren came close to her.

She didn’t even remember ever feeling like this about Eren, especially since he was the lover of her best friend. But for some reason, from the last few days, he had started to grow on her.

It was to the extent that she had even started missing him when he was not in front of her eyes. She wondered if she had gone crazy. Was this the effect of these handcuffs? Or was she really losing her mind?

The only thing she knew was that it wasn’t any spell. It wasn’t an ability similarly to what Xiu Ying had. She was not charmed, but she still felt this way.

During the last few days, another thing had happened. Her wrist had stopped itching for some strange reason.

She soon heard Eren’s footsteps getting closer to her from behind. Her heartbeat again increased as she wondered why he was approaching her. Now that she was weak, was he actually going to do something?

She didn’t even know what to feel about that.

Normally, she would have killed the person who even dared to look at her in a disrespectful manner, let alone touch her. However, could she try the same with Eren? She wasn’t sure.

Whenever she even thought about the possibility of hurting him if she tried that, she always remembered the time when he was running with her in his arms.

‘I am really going crazy. He belongs to her, so why am I…’ She rubbed her forehead, never feeling as conflicted as she did now.

She wondered if she had started to like him just because he saved her? That should have been impossible.

Even if that was the case, she knew it could never be. She had to keep her distance even if she wanted otherwise.

To her surprise, Eren didn’t approach her. He walked past her, approaching the wall that had the deep sword mark.

At first, he thought that this was the work of the person who kidnapped Feng Yu. However, seeing Fey, he realized that it couldn’t be him. Then who did this sword belong to?

“Whose sword was it?” he asked Feng Yu.

Feng Yu was standing there in a daze. She was cursing herself in her mind for thinking so much nonsense when Eren didn’t even plan to do anything.

“Are you alright?” he turned around, noticing Feng Yu standing there in a daze. He almost felt like she was going to get a short circuit in her head.

He moved closer to her, touching her forehead with his forehead, trying to see if she had a fever.

“The temperature seems normal,” he said, looking into her eyes with only a few inches of distance between their lips.

Feng Yu came out of her daze to find him right before her. Her mind went blank. Like a frightened rabbit, she jumped back.

She was never scared even when she was to face her death, but at the moment, she really looked like a weak animal that was scared when facing something they had never faced before.

She didn’t know how to confront her own feelings as she had long buried all of them, never really learning what these feelings were.

She didn’t even know if this was just attraction, obsession, love or something else entirely. All she knew was that it had something to do with Eren.

Whenever he was with her, she couldn’t maintain her composure. It was as if he was her weakness that she herself didn’t understand.

She wanted to scream at the top of her lungs, asking what was happening with her. However, she controlled herself.

Eren was also quite taken aback. For the first time, he saw a proper expression on the face of this emotionless doll.

At the moment, she didn’t look like the cold Overlord that was looking down on the entire world but a normal girl.

If he hadn’t known that she was really Feng Yu, he would have even wondered if she was possessed by someone just like he was.

“I am fine. You don’t have to worry about me!” Feng Yu said, trying to maintain her cold exterior, but after seeing her previous reaction, her cold voice didn’t hold the same effect as before.

Eren couldn’t unsee what he saw before.

Feng Yu took her eyes off of him, avoiding his gaze. She rushed towards the wall which had the Sword Mark.

She walked closer to the wall, her fingers brushing against the deeper sword grooves. Not many people knew how that sword mark was left here.

Many thought that it was created when the enemy fought Feng Yu. However, only she knew that there was actually no fight.
