Feng Yu's initial shock quickly turned into a strange calm. She wasn't used to being this close to anyone, let alone Eren, but she understood the necessity of the situation.
"I know you said you didn't want anyone to disturb you, but there was something I had to-" Great Elder Zia stepped inside the hall, catching sight of Eren who looked a little strange.
It was as if he was wearing really thick clothes and wrapping his arms around his chest.
"Do you have a cold?" she asked, trying to step closer.
"I am fine. Don't approach me," Eren told her, narrowing his eyes. He even covered his surroundings with the Sword Emperor's Aura to prevent anyone from getting close.
Even though Zia was trustworthy, he still couldn't let anyone else in on the secret.
"What did you come to inform me?" he asked while Zia came to a sudden halt, looking at him with confusion. She didn't understand why he was behaving like that.
At first, she thought that he wanted to be alone because he was sad about Feng Yu's death as the two were strangely close. But something felt out of place.
"Yu Lin has woken up. I thought you would want to know about it. She has succeeded," Zia told Eren, talking about his first disciple who had entered enlightenment while comprehending the skills given by him.
A few days had passed but she was finally awake. As Eren was busy with the task, he had momentarily forgotten about it.
Eren's face lit up. He had already expected her to succeed as it was impossible to fail enlightenment after entering it. It was only a matter of time. Still, he was happy that it worked.
He hadn't taught her many things, but whatever he taught her, she absorbed it well. He even felt a little proud of his disciple
At the same time, he also felt disappointed in himself. If his hands hadn't wrapped around Feng Yu's slender body, he would have facepalmed himself.
As Zia was about to leave the hall, she suddenly stopped and turned around. Eren had a bad feeling about this. Before he could say anything, Zia spoke.
"Master, when can I have you for myself?"
Hearing her words, Eren's jaws almost dropped. He could feel Feng Yu glaring up at him, her words truly sounding misleading.
'Master? All for herself? Just what kind of perverted acts are they playing with each other? He already has Xiu Ying and still he has the gall to have roleplay with other women?' Feng Yu thought..
Eren could feel her punching his waist. He could already imagine what Feng Yu was thinking about it.
There was no way Feng Yu was going to think that Zia was actually Eren's disciples. Hence, her thoughts only went in the entire opposite direction.
"Leave," Eren said, trying to control his voice even as he was being pinched sharply.
Zia didn't question him any further. She was just curious when he was going to teach her alchemy, but it looked like he wasn't in the mood yet.
She didn't keep her thoughts to herself and said it out loud.
"Looks like Master isn't in the mood for it," she sighed as she turned and left, closing the door behind her.
By now, Eren didn't even know how he could recover from her words. He wasn't in the mood? Couldn't that woman be more clear? Or better yet, couldn't she leave silently?
As soon as the door closed, Feng Yu pushed Eren back.
"It seems like 'Master' truly isn't in the mood," she sarcastically said while glaring at Eren, who could only scratch the back of his head.
