Chapter 374: Chapter 374: A mesmerizing sight

Even in his wildest dreams, Eren could never have imagined the scene that unfolded before him.

He had imagined Zia sitting calmly in a chair, perhaps looking bored or annoyed, as she made those false noises. But the reality was far from what he had expected.

She was not on the chair. Instead, she was lying on the bed. Her legs were towards him, spread. As for being fully dressed, that was far from reality. She was not wearing even a single piece of clothing.

Her body was covered in sweat as her toes were curled. She moaned in pleasure as her fingers gently moved. Occasionally, he even heard her calling his name out.

Eren didn't know how to react to the scene unfolding in front of him. Should he make a sound so she could realize that he was here? She appeared to be in the middle of something, and disturbing her didn't feel right.

In the end, he thought about leaving the room just as silently as he came while the door behind him was still open.

Slowly, he took a step back, trying his best to avoid any sound. But just as he moved, Zia let out a loud, pleasure-filled cry, her entire body trembling.

Zia was breathing heavily, as if her soul had left her body at that moment. Her chest heaved up and down while she brought her hand up, licking her finger without noticing Eren's presence in the room.

'This girl...' Eren facepalmed himself, seeing an unexpected side of Zia. She always looked so proper that it was a truly surprising sight to see her do such things.

"That bastard, making me do such things. He is so annoying!" Zia complained, lying weakly on bed to catch her breath. "Next time I see him, I should really give him a piece of my mind."

Eren was simply planning to leave, but when he saw her complain about him, he stopped. He only told her to fake it. It wasn't his fault that she was doing such things for real. Why was he to be blamed for this? He was completely innocent.

Since he was already being blamed, he dropped the thought of silently leaving. In any case, Zia had already finished. Hence, there was no need to leave.

"I came a few minutes before you started licking your finger," Eren told Zia, finding her embarrassed reaction quite cute.

"You! Why didn't you say anything when you came? You perverted man! I will kill you!" Zia exclaimed, still not daring to show her face that had grown absolutely red.

It would have been manageable if he came after she was finished, but he saw everything. He even saw her disgraceful act.

"You looked like you were having fun. I didn't want to disturb you. I am quite considerate in that way," Eren said as he sat on the bed, next to Zia.

"Considerate, my a*s! You were probably just enjoying the scene, you... you evil man!"

"Enjoying the scene?" Eren repeated the question. He moved closer to Zia, bringing his lips closer to her face which was hidden by the blanket.

"Well, I won't deny that. The scene was mesmerizing indeed," he told Zia. "Especially since you yourself are so beautiful."

"Liar! You were probably laughing at me!" Zia exclaimed, her voice growing weak suddenly. "I am not as beautiful as Xiu Ying. My physique isn't as attractive as the Sect Master either. I am also older than then. I know myself the best.

You don't have to lie to me."

Eren shook his head slowly, a soft smile playing on his lips. "I don't have any reason to lie, do I? You are really beautiful, even if you don't want to accept it."

Zia peeked from behind the blanket, her eyes trembling with a hint of disbelief and uncertainty.

"Do you really mean that?" she asked, her voice almost a whisper.

"Every word." Eren's tone was gentle, sincere. He leaned back slightly, giving her space, sensing that she needed it. "I neither have the time, nor the energy to lie about it. You are so beautiful that anyone would be lucky to have you."
