Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Accepting Feng Yu

Eren watched Feng Yu, who was truly an overwhelming presence.

During the past few days, he had seen her at her weakest, unable to harness her strength. He had almost forgotten the formidable force she truly was.

Even outside the hall, he could sense the suffocating bloodlust that permeated the room. The terrifying aura only dissipated when Feng Yu spotted Eren in the distance.

"Are you alright?" he asked, stepping inside the hall carefully, avoiding the puddles of blood to keep his shoes untouched by blood.

Just moments ago, these people were brimming with arrogance, but now, they were unrecognizable.

One moment they were the strong existence of the Great Demon Sect and the next moment, they were dead. This was how easy it was for strong people to die in this World. All it needed was offending the wrong people.

Meanwhile, there was him. He was someone who had offended almost all the Overlord level existences through no fault of his own.

He could very well face the same outcome as these Ancestral Elders if he did not become strong enough to take his fate in his own hands.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking if you are alright?" Feng Yu asked Eren, treating him much differently than she used to treat him in the past.

She was much more friendly which was an odd feeling, especially when she had recovered her strength.

"Is something troubling you?" she asked, noticing Eren being distracted.

"It's nothing. You don't have to worry about it," Eren smiled in response, not telling her that his disciples had been kidnapped and taken to the Southern Continent.

With the kind of equation he had with Feng Yu right now, he was sure that she would try to help him if he just asked. Still, there was not much she could do.

He had momentarily forgotten that the person in front of him was an Overlord as his habit of patting his disciples and Guardian Spirit took over.

The moment he realized, it was already too late. He quickly retracted his hand, expecting Feng Yu to be angry. However, to his surprise, she didn't say anything.

Her reaction surprised him, making him wonder if this was still the same Overlord.

"Do you promise that you will return?" she asked Eren, not looking him in the eye. She turned her back towards him. She wanted to stop him, maybe even forcefully keep him back.

At the same time, she hesitated, not wanting him to hate her. She was also conflicted about her feelings toward him as he belonged to Xiu Ying.

Looking at her strange reaction, Eren was also surprised. In this moment, she wasn't an Overlord but just a person who seemingly cared for him. Was it because he was her savior? He wasn't sure.

To test his theory, he stepped forward. He knew that if he was wrong, he might actually lose his life. Still, he tested it.

Stepping forward, he wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her from behind.

"I promise I will. This is my home. Where else will I go?" he whispered in her ears, partially expecting her to reveal killing intent or attack him directly.

Contrary to his expectation, Feng Yu didn't show any hostility. She stayed silently, not reacting in the least.

"Good. That is a promise. If you break this promise, I will kill you myself," she said.

Eren didn't know what to do now. Did this girl really start to accept him? He didn't test the limits for now, knowing how to be content.

He took off his hands and turned around to leave. It was time for Ren Necroline to disappear and Devourer to make an appearance.
