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

Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Intruders

The woman was frozen in place when she felt the full brunt of the Sword Emperor's Aura. As she was so close to Eren, she felt the suppressive pressure pushing down on her.

Horrified, she freed herself and stepped back. Her face was ghastly pale. When she was under that aura, she truly felt like Eren could kill him.

Eren looked at his hands and sighed. "What a pity..."

Estelina heard Eren's words which made her expressions turn dark. She clenched her fist to stop her hand from trembling.

That horrifying sensation of being at the core of that aura was still fresh in her mind. She had never felt something like that. Even as a spirit, she was scared of it.

Usually, most of the auras couldn't affect a Spirit. Even most physical attacks were useless on them. But something was different about that aura.

She didn't know why, but she felt like a terrifying beast was staring at her when he was being suppressed by the aura.

Was Eren calling it a pity because he didn't want her to give up so she could actually kill her? Was he disappointed that she stepped back? She didn't realize that all her thoughts were going in the wrong directions.

Eren was not disappointed in Estelina. He was disappointed in himself and his lack of strength. He had held Estelina's hands, but she was easily able to free herself.

When she did that, he was able to confirm that she was stronger than him, at least when it came to strength. Still, that didn't mean that he couldn't kill her.

He had his own way to make it happen if he wanted to, but he didn't. He only wanted to scare her and that appeared to have worked.

"The first time, you kidnapped me. And this was the second time you did something without my permission. If there is a third time, there will not be a warning." Eren's words brought Estelina out of her daze.

"Are you threatening me?" Estelina said with clenched teeth. Eren could hear the sound of her teeth grinding as she spoke.

"There is only a fine line between a threat and a reminder," Eren answered. Now that he was in this position, he couldn't step back. His future actions depended on them entirely.

"What gives you such confidence? Do you think that Xiu Ying will come to save you?" Estelina smirked. "If you think that she will, then let me remind you. The time in the Spirit Realm flows much slower than the real world."

She did not reveal the unease and hesitation that was deep down in her heart. She kept it hidden deep in her heart.

"A month here is comparable to just a single day there. If you don't behave, you might die before she can even find you missing!"

"Huh?"

Estelina thought that Eren would be scared when he was going to realize that he was all alone with no one coming to save him in the future.

Unfortunately for her, his reaction went completely against her expectations. Instead of being scared, he appeared to be smiling while his eyes lit up.

"Thirty to one time dilation. That seems barely passable."

He didn't expect Xiu Ying to come here in the first place. And even if she did, he didn't think she was strong enough to go against the Spirit Queen. It was better for her to not come here.

What he was actually worried about was his future. He was worried about missing the deadline of going to the Western Continent. He didn't want to have to explain to Feng Yu where he had disappeared and why.

This realization slightly eased his burden. He could spend quite some time here without having to worry about returning. However, he hadn't forgotten that this place wasn't very safe either.

He still had to meet the Spirit Queen and decide which option to take. Was he going to annihilate her and receive the legendary rank reward or try to make her fall for him and get a Spirit Contract with her.

"You... You truly are crazy!" Estelina raised an eyebrow in disbelief. She couldn't digest Eren's reaction.

Even if he was strong, why was he so happy about being stuck here with no help? Did he truly think that he was strong enough to defeat her mother?

"What a psychopath!" She waved her hand, returning her clothes to their normal. "No wonder you don't fall for me. Because something is really wrong with your head. I feel pity for Xiu Ying."

"There is nothing wrong with my head. It's just that you aren't even close to being as beautiful as her," Eren responded while shifting his focus to his surroundings.

With the Phoenix flying high in the sky, he was able to see his surroundings much more clearly.

"Found it. That must be the city where your mother lives."

At the faraway distance, he noticed what appeared like a city. As the city was too far, it looked really small. But still, he was able to feel that the city was quite majestic.

"You Spirits really know how to live your life." He commented while his Phoenix soared in the sky, flying towards the city.

"My mother and living in that backward city? Don't be absurd. That's just the barren city on the outskirts. The only use that city has is to stop intruders," Estelina explained.

"But that city also has a portal that leads to the Capital City. So you're still going in the right direction."

"Intruders?" Eren asked. "Are there intruders from our world that come here?"

On the topic of intruders, Estelina went momentarily silent.

"You don't need to know about that. Just focus on yourself. It would be a pity if you maintained this arrogance before my mother and she accidentally killed you."

"Why did you even bring me here in the first place? What does your mother even want from me?"

Estelina looked at Eren but she didn't answer. Deep down, she was laughing.

'You bastard, you had fun mocking me, right? Just wait until you meet my mother!'
