Chapter 58: I couldn\'t let it go

He didn\'t think she was going to leave just like that. Did she go to prepare for their plan? But even if that was the case, she should have returned by now.

Another hour passed before Xiu Ying finally returned. She had been assigned a different room, but she still returned only to Eren\'s room.

"You\'re back. Where were you?"

"I was just taking care of some things."

"Don\'t tell me those things involved killing someone?"

Eren could see that she had washed her hand. Even then, the scent of blood couldn\'t be washed completely.

"Who did you kill?"

He didn\'t ask her if she killed anyone. He directly asked who she killed and if it was someone important.

"I tried... I tried to listen to you and not kill anyone. But I couldn\'t let it go. They had raised their weapons at you. They deserved to die!"

"Raised their weapons?" Eren felt like crying. This was exactly what he was worried about.

She was too in love with him. She had let the guards go before as she didn\'t want to create trouble for him. They were in the public eye at that time.

Still, she didn\'t forget their actions.

"I made sure that no one saw me," she stated, as if looking for praise like a little kitten.

Eren scratched the back of his head, not knowing how to respond.

After all this, she was still looking to be praised because she wasn\'t seen? Sometimes, he forgot how dangerous this woman actually was.

He still couldn\'t get himself to scold her.

"Did you take care of the bodies?"

Xiu Ying nodded. "They will never be found again."

"Good girl."

Eren patted her head. Although he didn\'t want to praise her actions, he didn\'t want to make her sad either.

The woman smiled beautifully, lowering her head like a child.

Seeing her like that, Eren truly couldn\'t take his eyes off her. He wasn\'t affected by the charm spell, but she was truly very cute when she was like this.

"I got two rooms. You can take this one. I will sleep in the other room. Tomorrow, we have a lot of work to do."

He quickly took his eyes off and started leaving, not knowing what might happen if he stayed here for longer.

Xiu Ying grabbed his hand, without raising her head.

With a low voice, she said, "Please stay."

Eren almost had his heart skip a beat as he heard her seductive voice. He didn\'t know what might happen if he was to give in.

He thought about Celeste who was in his pocket. She was like a child and he didn\'t want her mind to be corrupted by such things.

Celeste was like his secret weapon. Whenever he felt that his willpower was getting weak and he wanted to give in, he thought about her and resisted with all his might.

"I am getting sleepy. It\'s better for me to leave."

He freed his hand and quickly left the room.

He stood in the hallway, patting his beating heart.

"She is truly a seductress..."

Only he knew how hard it was to resist that woman\'s charm. He didn\'t even know he had a willpower this strong.

"How long can I resist her advances like that?"

He entered his room, slightly worried about his future.

....

It was in the middle of the night when Eren went to sleep. The long journey had truly exhausted him.

After a long time, he had a comfortable bed to sleep in. As soon as he fell on the cozy bed, he just wanted to sleep.

Celeste was still awake. She just remained in silence, looking at the sleeping face of Eren.

She wanted to poke his cheeks again, but she remembered being scolded last time she did that.

She didn\'t do anything. Instead, she flew toward the window and looked at the beautiful night sky outside.

She had travelled in Eren\'s pocket all this time. She had seen a lot of the wonders of this world, yet she wanted to see more.

She opened the window a little, and flew out. As she wasn\'t planning to sleep, she wanted to fly around the city and do some exploration before returning in the morning.

....

Another hour passed. Celeste had left Eren\'s room, leaving him alone.

The doorknob of the room slowly twisted before the door was unlocked.

A person stepped inside his room, being none other than Xiu Ying.

She looked at Eren who was sleeping peacefully.

She closed the door behind her and climbed on his bed, lying next to him.

She didn\'t do anything. She just remained like that, looking at his lovable face until she fell asleep.

....

"I didn\'t know that such an important guest was about to attend this celebration."

The Crown Prince was shocked at the arrival of an Inner Disciple from the Great Demon Sect, especially since he was just discussing the destruction of this sect.

He didn\'t let his real thoughts show. He hadn\'t forgotten that it wasn\'t the time yet.

For now, the Great Demon Sect was too strong. They had to show some respect, even if it was just an Inner Disciple. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I feel blessed."

He smiled as he approached the woman, greeting her personally.

Along the way, he kept looking at the expressions of his Junior Brother who was the son of Asura Sect Master.

If anyone hated the Great Demon Sect the most here, it was him.

Fortunately, he didn\'t show anything out of the ordinary either. He just clicked his tongue at the sight of the woman.

"You should thank the City Lord. He pleaded so much that I couldn\'t say no."

The woman walked past the Crown Prince, not sparing a second glance.

She didn\'t even greet him back or wish him for his birthday. It was like she was doing him a favour by being here.

The Crown Prince\'s lips twitched, but he quickly controlled his expressions.
