Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Xiu Ying's Secret

The Pendant Series... Eren did not understand its origin.

From the day he arrived in this world, he had received many rewards from the system.

Sometimes, he received the Question Voucher which allowed him to talk to the unknown existence which held almost all the answers.

At other times, he received Aura and a powerful Bloodline. He even received Celeste, who was from a species that wasn't supposed to exist here.

All these things were enough to shock anyone, but amongst all the rewards, he still considered the Pendant Series rewards to be most useful.

The Pendant of Strength was an item that allowed him to kill Asura Sect Master with ease. The Pendant of Protection also made him invincible to any three life threatening attacks.

The Pendant of Protection was something that could even block the most powerful attack from an Overlord. That was enough for him to understand its value.

The pendant series rewards had proven to be the most useful reward for him. Not only did it allow him to protect himself, but also allowed him to get out of many dangerous situations.

After he completely exhausted the Pendant of Strength, he only had the Pendant of Protection left. This made him very hesitant.

He had been hoping for another pendant series reward to appear. As if answering his wish, one of the options came with a pendant series reward.

The Pendant of Poison was different from the Pendant of Strength and Protection.

Eren was sure that it was not going to make him stronger. But it was a pendant series reward, so he was certain it was going to be extraordinary in its own ways.

After exhausting his Pendant of Strength, he did not have a lot of options to attack. And the Pendant of Poison did appear like it could help in that.

"But it is dangerous alone!" Xiu Ying rose in the air. Although she did not land on the Phoenix, she did not want to let him go alone.

"I have ways to protect my life. Nothing will happen to me." Eren reassured Xiu Ying with a smile.

"I promise to come back safely," he added before the Phoenix took off into the sky.

As Xiu Ying watched Eren disappear into the distance, she wanted to follow him. She felt conflicted.

On one end, she wanted to follow him to make sure that he was safe. On the other end, she did not want him to hate her.

If it was something for which he needed to be alone, and she spoiled it for him, her heart ached at the thought of causing him distress.

"I will not follow you. But I will still protect you..." After a long time, she sighed.

She raised her hand, and bit her finger. A blood drop gathered at the tip of her finger, and she drew a small symbol on the back of her hand.

With a gentle whisper, she activated the formation with her blood as a source. It was something that no one knew, other than Sect Master Feng Yu.

If Eren was here to see this, he would have been shocked. This was a Summoning Formation. The Novel did not mention Xiu Ying knowing formations, let alone the fact that she could summon something.

As she completed the formation circle, an ethereal gate materialized before her. The gate possessed an ancient aura, seemingly connected to the depths of the underworld itself.

With a creak, the gate swung open, revealing a young woman adorned with a devilish smile on her beautiful face. Her form appeared translucent, resembling more of a spirit than a living being.

"Didn't you vow never to summon me?" The woman's words dripped with a hint of disdain. "Do you still remember the price of summoning me?"

"I remember," Xiu Ying affirmed, her expression devoid of warmth towards the spirit.
