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.

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.
