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

Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Because I

Feng Yu looked at Eren's back, his clothes completely stained with blood. Even the robe of the Elder was torn at places, revealing deep flesh wounds on Eren's body.

The last time someone shielded her like this, it was her father who was trying to protect her from 'that' person.

She clenched her fist, watching the visage of her father when she saw Eren's cold and bloody back.

"Did you not hear what I said? You are too weak to face them!" Feng Yu exclaimed, not understanding why Eren was still here instead of running away. "I don't need protection from weaklings like you. Scram!"

If it was another situation, she would have asked him to break the shackles so she could use her own strength. However, she knew that Eren couldn't break it.

She knew all too well what kind of shackles these were. No one under the strength of a Great Elder could break these shackles.

She grabbed Eren's hand, fresh blood still trickling down his arm. She pulled him closer. She took off her ring and placed it in Eren's hand.

"Take the sect master's ring, and return," she told Eren. "I can protect myself even without you! You'll just distract me if you are here!"

Eren looked at the ring, taken aback. This was the ring that was authorized only for the Sect Master. It could also open the treasury in the sect as well as allow him to use the formations within the sect.

This was the token that was passed from one sect master to another. He didn't know if she just gave it to him because she didn't want it to fall in the hands of others or if she was actually handing him the position.

Did she think that she was going to die here so she was handing over the Sect Master position to him? As long as he returned to the sect with the ring, he was sure he could claim the sect master's position for himself.

Even if that wasn't Feng Yu's intention when giving him the ring, who was to know? He could tell a number of stories as he claimed the throne with this ring.

That way, he could even complete the options of the secondary path.

As for her telling him that she could protect herself after he left, he knew that she was bluffing. She was no stronger than an ordinary person.

As for the cuffs, he had already checked their effects. The cuffs were going to last for seven days. Once they were placed on someone, they could only be removed after seven days.

If he left, she would have died. However, that was only the case if these people were actually trying to kill her. This was not a real attempt to kill her.

If he wanted her dead, he would have done that already. The main reason he hadn't done that was because of his secondary path.

The path of Lover was closely linked with Feng Yu. Even though his completion of the path of Lover increased with others, it didn't increase to the extent it would have with Feng Yu's help.

He didn't pay much attention to that before as he thought that it was impossible to get close to this emotionless Demoness.

He was also worried that his real identity might be exposed. He was the one who killed her father after all. Or rather, it was Ren Necroline who he had possessed.

He had always tried to stay away from Feng Yu, even when he used the thread of marriage, all to make sure he could survive longer. However, the opportunity that had presented before him wasn't something he could ignore.

Even though it was said to be cliche, who didn't love a knight in shining armor protecting them? It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to get close to Feng Yu.

For now, the progress in the path of Lover was more important than the ring. As for becoming the sect master to complete the secondary path, he had already thought out a way. Everything had started falling in place in his mind.

It was all about how he managed things that were to come. If he played his cards right, it was only a matter of time before he could complete the secondary options while also reaching a milestone in his path of lover.

Eren looked at the ring, but there was no greed on his face. When Feng Yu placed the ring in his hand, he grabbed his hand.

As he was pretending to be blind, he couldn't let her take her hands off. Else, how could he try to locate her hand as a blind person for what he was about to do next?

"What are you doing?" Feng Yu asked, trying to take her hands back but Eren didn't let her take it off.

With his left hand, he grabbed her hand. He held the ring in his right hand and slowly placed the ring on her finger, as if it was an engagement.

"The ring suits a beautiful lady like you more. As for protecting me... I appreciate your intentions. However, how can I hide behind a person that I lo-" He said, intentionally cutting off his sentence in the middle as if he was worried that he had spoken too much.

Right in front of Feng Yu, he activated the Talisman of Death, overdrawing his vitality. With the activation of talisman, his strength also increased.

It didn't increase to the extent it had done when he used the Unseal Talisman. At most, it only increased to the level of a Great Elder, which was almost his original level in the first place with his levels.

Feng Yu watched Eren's nerves bulge as his blood flow became chaotic with the use of the Talisman. On top, he used even more talismans to increase his divine sense as well as his strength and speed.
