Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Offer

....

A few hours later~

Eren stepped out of the shower, water dripping off his wet hair. He wrapped a towel around his waist, but he had only taken a single step out when someone grabbed his hand.

He was pulled back inside the shower room, the towel falling on the wooden floor outside.

"Are they animals? Even after all that, how can he still have the energy to..." Yelen exclaimed, glaring at the semi opened bathroom door from where strange sounds started coming again.

After another hour, Eren stepped out, seemingly tired. Water droplets trickled down his well chiseled body, making it unclear if it was actually water or sweat because he had worked especially hard.

Not long after, Xiu Ying also came out of the same place, having a towel around her body that was having a hard time hiding her curves.

Xiu Ying started dressing in front of Eren's eyes, her charm being as strong as ever if not more. Eren didn't even try to take his eyes off as he also started getting dressed.

"I might not be here for a few weeks," Xiu Ying told Eren, who was slightly surprised that she was leaving for so long.

Usually, she would have at least asked him if he was going to come with her or not. He wondered if it was because she already knew that he was going to be busy, or there was some other reason.

"Where are you going?" Eren asked. "Is everything alright?"

"There's nothing wrong." Xiu Ying smiled, but she didn't explain where she was actually going.

Looking at her, Eren could only wonder if she had also received a mission from the sect. What kind of mission would need a Great Elder? It couldn't be an easy mission if that was the case.

Xiu Ying noticed the concern that was etched on Eren's face. "I'm not going to do anything dangerous. I'm just visiting my family."

"Visiting your family?" Eren remembered the story he had heard. Wasn't her family already dead? How was she going to meet them?

"Their death anniversary is coming up. So I thought I would go and... Just spent some time in my town. There isn't much left there anyway, so you might get bored there. It's really nothing."

"Shall we end this peace then?" Eren asked, once again approaching Yelen, taking advantage of his improved speed and stats.

He didn't use his spirit mark any more, as he didn't want to hurt Yelen. Moreover, it was more fun to tease Yelen.

She was the first spirit queen, from an era that was long forgotten. Despite that, she could be really cute at times, especially when she was teased.

"W-what do you mean?" Yelen stuttered, as Eren appeared behind her while she was still sitting on the chair.

"I said, my previous offer still stands," Eren whispered in Yelen's ears.

"What offer?" Yelen asked, her voice getting weaker.

Eren whispered in her ears something that made Yelen's face go as red as a tomato.

"You!"

Before she could continue, Eren had already left the room, only his words still echoing in Yelen's mind.

"Hmph." Eventually, she stood up as well, and followed Eren as his guardian.

She watched Eren land before a house that was on the mountain that belonged to him. It was a decent looking courtyard, and a house that appeared like it was made by a professional.

"Did she make another one?" Eren also appeared surprised to see that there was a second house there.

He remembered that he had once complimented his first disciple Yu Lin's house that she made herself. She had told him that he could use that house.

When he asked how he could use a disciple's house, she had said that she could make another one for herself.

At that time, he had refused while thinking that she was just joking. He didn't expect her to actually make one.

Still, he didn't understand how he hadn't noticed it before. He was sure he went past this area when coming back after meeting the Sect Master.

He was sure that there was nothing like this here before. Was that just his misconception because he subconsciously ignored it? He wasn't sure.
