51 Chapter 51: A woman's intuition
Ye Liang was completely exhausted when he reached the door at the end of the path.
On the other side, he expected to find the inheritance. But before he could enter, someone else rushed out.
Their shoulders clashed, but with Ye Liang's strength, he was simply sent flying.
He crashed against a tree in the back, feeling a few bones break.
The woman looked at Ye Liang who was groaning in pain. She hadn't expected to hit anyone on her way out.
"Are you alright?" she asked, even as she kept looking around for signs of Eren.
Ye Liang couldn't even stand up, his entire body being in a mess. He could see that the person before him was much stronger.
He wanted to ask if he looked fine sarcastically, but he didn't do that.
"I am fine." Instead, he tried to show his miserable state as he tried to stand up.
He wanted to let the woman realize herself and then try to help him. It would be fine if she could heal him.
"I see. That's good."
The woman simply nodded. Her mind was completely distracted by Eren and didn't pay attention to Ye Liang.
She quickly left to look for Eren. She wanted to ask him about his name so she could thank him in the future.
"Huh... Haaa?"
Ye Liang watched the woman disappear, almost coughing blood in disbelief.
Instead of helping him, the woman just left like it was nothing? Could she be any more shameless?
He could only rely on himself, not realizing that his fate had changed drastically.
If someone hadn't respected, he was going to establish proper contact with the woman. And with time, they were going to fall in love.
Instead, they had walked past each other like strangers now.
"Strong people in this world are really weird. If I was strong, I would have taught that woman a lesson!"
He ate a healing pill as he sat down.
The woman had come out from the other side. It was already clear that the inheritance was gone. There was no point in checking the other side.
Just as he expected, the door soon closed and disappeared forever. The inheritance was gone.
After healing, he gave up on the thought of inheritance.
"So what if I don't have the inheritance. I have the system. And with it, I will definitely reach heights that no one else can!"
He went to finish the System Mission.
The Great Elder had left with Eren, so the artificial fog had also disappeared, making it easier for him to finish the quest.
He still had some use left to his Presence Suppression.
Not wasting any time, he rushed towards the depths of the Forest of Death.
This time, no beast came to obstruct him. He felt his luck had really improved for some reason.
....
"Why do you have a woman's scent?"
Eren looked at Xiu Ying who had just asked him a question. He couldn't understand why women had such sharp intuition.
How could she even sense such a thing even when he had tried his hardest to wash away any scent.
"I met a woman when I was getting the inheritance. And we had to fight. Since she was a close combat fighter, it makes sense that I have her scent."
Eren didn't tell her the entire truth. He did talk about a fight, but not the true reason he had her scent.
Even he didn't know why he was lying. Even if he told her the truth, he wasn't to be blamed. He was helpless after all.
Then again, he was careful. He didn't want to explain to this woman why he was pushed down by another woman.
In the eyes of the Sect, he was a powerful elder after all. Who could push him down and kiss him without his permission?
At the same time, he didn't want the woman to feel jealous. Even though she was under the effect of the seed of love, he did come to like her company.
"She harmed you? I will kill her! I will kill her in the most painful way!"
Xiu Ying turned around, as if she was planning to go back to the Forest.
Eren grabbed her hand, stopping her. He was certain that if Xiu Ying went there, she was actually going to kill her.
The woman wasn't completely healed yet. So she couldn't stand against Xiu Ying. If she died, it was going to be a great loss for his future plans.
And even if she won and Xiu Ying was hurt, it was also a great loss for him.
He was clear that he had to keep those two women away from each other.
Xiu Ying was momentarily surprised when her hand was grabbed by Eren.
"You don't have to bother. I already killed her. And as far as her scent is concerned, I have a solution for that."
"What solution?"
"I will just let your scent erase every other scent."
Her surprise turned into a shock as she was pulled by him in his embrace.
Xiu Ying's face turned red but she didn't resist. She felt great warmth in her heart as she was in his embrace.
"I would love that." Xiu Ying beautifully smiled, placing her hand over his hand.
The two of them remained in each other's embrace for a long time as gentle winds made their hair sway softly.
The Phoenix was flying much slower, as if not wanting to disturb this moment.
....
The Phoenix had been flying for three days, yet they hadn't reached the border between the Eastern Continent and the Southern Continent.
Just the size of the Eastern Continent was so large.
In the map, it looked so much smaller, but only when Eren traveled according to the map, he realized how vast this world actually was.
Just the size of the Eastern Continent alone was larger than all the continents on earth combined.
It was impossible to reach their destination without resting. Even if the Phoenix was a Mythical Beast, she needed a rest.
After careful consideration, Eren decided to enter the next city for rest. The city was one of the most prominent cities in the Eastern Continent.
