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

Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Between me and her

It was the middle of the night when Eren's eyes slowly fluttered open.

He felt the weight of Feng Yu's head resting against his shoulder, slightest taken aback. Still, he didn't disturb her and let her sleep. This was the rest that she deserved.

He waited for her to wake up, while wondering what the Ancestral Elders were going to plan. He had already sent Yelen to keep an eye on them to find out what they were planning.

Even though he trusted Feng Yu's plan, he trusted his own abilities more. It was even better since Yelen was someone that couldn't be noticed by others unless she used her abilities.

Even Feng Yu didn't know about Yelen yet, let alone the Ancestral Elders. With someone to spy on the Ancestral Elders, he didn't have to worry about the unknown.

Not long after, Feng Yu also woke up, feeling extremely relaxed. She didn't know why, but ever since she had been with Eren, she had been having good sleep that she rarely had in the past.

She raised her head, yawning without realizing that Eren was also awake. It was only when she looked in his direction and saw him looking at her that she realized.

She didn't show embarrassment, only maintaining a calm exterior. "How long have you been awake?"

"Not long," Eren answered, innocently smiling. It was true that he had only been awakened for half an hour, and it couldn't be called much.

"If you were awake, why don't you wake me up?" Feng Yu asked.

"You were sleeping so peacefully. You also looked so beautiful when you were sleeping. How could I bear to wake you up?" Eren responded, not missing the opportunity to compliment her.

It wasn't as if he was lying either, as he did believe that she looked extremely beautiful when she was sleeping. Even though she didn't have the seductive charm of Xiu Ying or the aura of innocence that Yelen possessed, she had her own charm.

"Are you saying that I don't look beautiful when I am awake?" Feng Yu asked, only to grow stunned at her own words. She couldn't believe that she actually said such a thing, as if she was begging for compliments.

She quickly turned her head to another direction, not letting him see her face.

"How can that be possible." Eren took a deep breath and stood up. He walked in front of Feng Yu and went down on her knees, looking straight in her eyes.

Feng Yu was slightly flustered, especially since Eren held her fair hands.

"You look extremely beautiful, even when you are awake," he said.

Feng Yu quickly pulled her hands back, scoffing. She didn't look in his eyes anymore but she didn't scold him either.

"You are lying," she said.

"I don't need to lie about it. It's the truth that comes straight from my heart," Eren stood up, placing his hand on the armrest of her chair as he brought his face closer, looking in her eyes again.

"You are extremely beautiful, Feng Yu. You are so beautiful that you could charm anyone in the world. But it's not just your beauty that makes you special. It's also what's inside that heart," Eren said, looking down.

In another situation, his gaze would have been considered as staring at her breasts. However, he talked about her heart, which gave context to his gaze.

Feng Yu narrowed her eyes. Other than the embarrassment that she didn't show on her face, she also had some curiosity.

"And what's inside my heart?" she asked, wondering how Eren was going to answer. Most people were scared of her, thinking that she was a demoness who had no emotion.

It was also partially true as she had long buried her emotions with her father's death.

Although some of the buried emotions had started to surface, that didn't change the fact that she was a demon, one of the most hated people in the continent that had the blood of millions of people in her hand. So what did Eren see in her heart?

"Your heart is even more beautiful than you. Although you don't show it, I have felt it. You are a person that has truly been misunderstood by this world," Eren said.

"Deep down, you are just a girl, who holds kindness towards those she cherishes," he added before stepping back, creating more distance between them.

As he finished speaking about what he had to say, he turned to leave. He still had to bring his disciple back to the palace.

"I will bring my disciple to the palace. Don't worry, she won't find your presence."

As the Palace was huge, it was easy for him to hide the presence of Feng Yu, especially with the seal in the main hall.

Watching his leave, Feng Yu didn't know what to say. She just looked at his back as a portal opened before him that connected to his mountain.

"Between me and Xiu Yin..." she said suddenly as Eren was about to step inside the portal.

"Did you say something?" Eren turned around, not hearing her words clearly.

"It's nothing." Feng Yu didn't continue her question, shaking her head lightly.

Although confused, Eren didn't dwell on it. He stepped inside the portal that he had opened with the help of the Sect Master's ring.

With the ring, travel inside the sect had become a lot easier. He was sure that if he had the ring in the past he wouldn't have such a hard time when trying to kill the Frost Demon Elder and the main character.

He appeared in front of his disciple's house which was right next to the house that she had made for him.

"Hmm? Why is there a third house here?" he frowned, scratching the back of his head. "Just what is that brat doing here instead of cultivating? Is she trying to create an entire city on the mountain?"

There were only two people who were supposed to live on the mountain, but now there were three houses even if he was to ignore that deathly courtyard of his at the edge of the cliff.

Shaking his head, he entered the courtyard where Yu Lin lived.

"Lin'er?" he called out, walking through the corridor.

"Master!" A voice came from the direction of the bathroom.

The door suddenly opened and a young girl stepped out, her body wrapped in a thin layer of a towel that was barely enough to cover her.
