My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Spirit Realm

After helping Eren lie on the bed, all the disciples were sent outside. Only Eren stayed inside the room.

He sat up and took off the heavy robe. The weakness that he had previously shown was nowhere to be found.

He was quite conflicted about how to deal with the Main Character.

The only way to deal with the Main Character was by having him use his last life-saving treasure without making him suspicious. However, that was also what made him most conflicted.

It was something that even he didn't have the counter to. As soon as the Main Character was about to actually die, his system was going to use the treasure kept in the inventory to send him to an unknown place.

The only way to prevent that was by having the Main Character bring that thing out of his inventory and then taking it from him. However, that was easier said than done.

Not only did Ye Liang try to kill his disciple, but he also tried to kill him. It was clear that the Main Character had become a threat to him.

If he wasn't for that, he would have already killed that man.

"Should I have someone else try to kill him and force his treasure to be activated? He would be sent elsewhere. But he wouldn't know that I had a hand in it. He might return to the sect."

"No, it would be too naive. He is the main character. With his Plot Armor, he might even be sent to land filled with opportunities and treasures instead."

"Urgh, why are Main Characters so hard to deal with? Now I truly understand the pain of the Villains."

"Every time they would try to kill the Main Character, some Plot Armor would activate and make them even more dangerous."

"Good thing there is no social media here, or there might be some trend like justice for villains."

Exhausted, he fell on the bed.

"I wonder what would happen if two Main Characters went against each other? They might actually kill each other and negate the plot armors. That is, unless they both have a mother named Martha..."

He started smiling at his own joke, even though he knew that it was childish for him to do so.

"With my kind of luck, it would be good if both of them didn't turn against me instead. I'll have to find another way to deal with them. Something that can stop their plot armor... Or maybe a realm where it wouldn't work."

While he was talking to himself, he felt someone punching his cheeks.

He turned towards Celeste.

"Are you hungry again?"

Celeste shook her head and waved her hand, making some gestures.

Although Eren didn't understand her gestures, he could roughly understand her feelings and intentions.

"Are you saying that you know of a method to help me?" he asked, wondering if he had actually managed to guess right.

Celeste finally nodded. She pointed at herself and then towards the roof. Unfortunately, Eren did not understand her this time.

"Upstairs?" he asked.

Celeste shook her head, refuting.

"Then what's above that? Sky? Heaven?" he asked again.

He could feel that she was talking about a place, but he didn't know which place.

Celeste shook her head. She again pointed at herself and then to Eren.

"Your place?" Eren asked. "And my words?"

Celeste nodded.

Eren's eyes lit up and he sat up again. "You are saying you know a place which could help me?"

Celeste again nodded.

Eren didn't even know where Celeste came from. He received her in the form of a reward from the system.

He even thought that she was not from this world. But now she was saying that she had a place that could help him? Did that mean her home was in this world?

"Is that a place in the Eastern Continent?" he asked.

Celeste shook her head, confirming that it wasn't here.

"In the Western Continent?" Eren changed the continent.

Celeste again disagreed.

"Is it in the Southern Continent?"

Celeste shook her head again.

"Don't tell me it's in the Northern Continent then?" Eren frowned. At this moment, that was the last place he wanted to visit.

However, he was also going to receive the Hell's Pass, so he understood that it was only a matter of time before he had to go there.

To Eren's surprise, Celeste still didn't agree.

Eren scratched the back of his head and asked again, "Is it even in this world?"

Celeste neither agreed nor disagreed.

Eren again fell on the bed. "What's the point of mentioning it if we can't even go there?"

Celeste landed on his chest and started jumping over him, trying to catch his attention.

"What is it? Is there even a way to get there? It would be useless if we can't even go there," Eren reacted.

Moreover, he had a feeling that the place wasn't as simple as Celeste made it out to be.

Celeste covered the lower half of her face with her sleeves and started walking in a particular fashion.

"Is that a veil? You are saying that Xiu Ying can take us there?" Eren asked. "How can she take us to your home?"

Eren didn't understand what relation Xiu Ying had with Celeste's home. He didn't remember reading anything like that.

Celeste finally nodded. She even appeared to be excited to some extent.

"What is that place called?" Eren changed his question. If he didn't even know where he wanted to go, how could he ask Xiu Ying?

After what seemed like an eternity and a lot of effort by Celeste, Eren managed to guess the name.

"Spirit Realm? Strange, I didn't remember anything like that existing in the novel. Was that explored in the later parts of the story that I didn't read?"

Eren frowned. "If it's from the later part, it can't be an easy place... Maybe even worse than the other continents."

....

Xiu Ying was returning to the sect, dragging a Beast Master by his collar.

However, as she neared the sect, she suddenly stopped. A letter materialized before her, visible only to her eyes.

"An invitation? As if I would ever step foot there again," she scoffed.

With a swift motion, she sliced through the illusory letter, dispersing it into nothingness.
