Chapter 382: Chapter 382: Digging a bigger hole

From the moment she entered the Holy City, Xiu Ying had heard a lot of rumors. Many people were talking about the two great elders who had arrived as guests, claiming they were lovers.

At that time, she didn't think much about it. Although the Demon Sect had many Great Elders, none of them were supposed to be here.

She thought some people might be pretending to be Great Elders of the Demon Sect to take advantage of the Holy Empire. She was even planning to teach them a lesson for faking their identities.

She arrived at the hall, expecting to make a scene, but the moment she saw those two people, she froze in place. One of them was Great Elder Zia, and the other was her lover Eren.

She was informed that Eren had temporarily left the Demon Sect, but his destination was unknown. She never imagined him to be in the Western Continent.

Even worse, he was not alone. He was with Great Elder Zia? While she was worrying about him, he was having fun with Zia, making a name for himself as a lecherous man?

When she looked at Eren, all the rumors she had heard along the way appeared in her head. Her heart felt pain like never before.

She didn't say anything to Eren. She didn't even take a single step inside.

After a long period of silence, she turned around, her face appearing completely expressionless, as if she had been truly heartbroken.

"Wait a minute!" Eren, still disguised as the Holy Emperor, chased after Xiu Ying. He understood what Xiu Ying was thinking, even if she didn't say anything.

Xiu Ying walked away from the Royal Palace. Even though she had come to investigate the disappearance of the Elders, she didn't think about that at the moment. For now, she simply wanted to be alone.

While she was leaving, she wondered if Eren was going to chase after her to explain. Deep down, even though she was angry, she was hoping for him to come after her to explain.

After some time, she looked back towards the Palace, hoping to see Eren coming after her. Unfortunately, she didn't find him there. It was as if he didn't even care about her in the slightest.

"I will kill you!" Xiu Ying exclaimed, only for Eren to spank her butt.

"Are you seriously talking about killing your husband? Since when did you become so bad?" he asked, his tone being extremely familiar.

Eren also changed his disguise to a small extent, making his voice return to normal so Xiu Ying could recognise him.

"That voice... How...?" Xiu Ying recognised that voice, growing shocked. She remembered seeing Eren with Xia. How could this person be Eren?

At the same time, the way this person talked was also identical. It was as if he was really Eren.

Eren brought his lips closer to Xiu Ying's ears and whispered, "I am Eren. The person who was standing with Zia was just a clone."

He explained, "A lot of things had happened and I can't tell you here. However, none of the rumors about me are true. They were intentionally spread by me."

"So that was not you?" Xiu Ying's eyes lit up as she heard the confirmation that the person with Zia wasn't him. Her jealousy slowly calmed down and her resistance stopped.

"Of course that was not me. That was just an act," Eren told her before releasing her hand.

Xiu Ying turned back to him, feeling very relieved. However when she looked at him, her expressions again darkened.

"If you're... That means the one proposing to the Holy Priestess was you?!" she asked, her temper flaring even more.

While trying to escape from Zia's situation, Eren had confessed that he was the one proposing to the Holy Priestess, something which he hadn't even done to her yet.

When he heard her question, Eren was also at a loss.
