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

Chapter 27: A love without boundary

Two intertwined fates were sealed by the unexpected turn of events brought on by the powerful pendant.

Eren's head throbbed in pain, and he couldn't remember what had just happened.

It felt as if his body had been out of his control. However, he quickly regained his senses and distanced himself from the Great Elder, now certain of her identity.

What puzzled him was how he had managed to escape her control. According to the novel, once someone fell for her, they were unable to escape the curse of love.

There had never been a case of someone breaking free. So how did he manage to do it?

While he was lost in thought, Eren noticed a notification in front of him.

It stated that the Pendant of Protection had two uses left, whereas it had originally started with three.

He realized that it was the Pendant of Protection that had saved him from her control.

He also remembered that the pendant was only supposed to activate when he was on the brink of death. The realization made him break into a cold sweat.

Was he actually about to die? Merely by entering the library and encountering the Succubus? It became clear that the first option he had chosen was the most dangerous one.

The ignored pattern was now evident to Eren. If he had chosen the second option, he wouldn't have come across the Succubus, and he would have been safer.

He was unsure of what to do now. Even though he had escaped her control, she still blocked his path.

Furthermore, the Pendant of Protection could only be used two more times. If a battle ensued, Eren doubted he would last long enough to leave the place.

"Step out of my way if you don't want to die!"

Nevertheless, he decided to bluff and commanded the Succubus to step out of his way if she didn't want to die.

As long as he could get out of this holding, he could leave safely. The Great Elder couldn't harm him when he was out of the library and in public view.

Moreover, even if she tried to harm him, he had a Phoenix to protect him, waiting outside.

Although he bluffed, he knew that she wasn't going to listen to him. His mind was thinking of multiple possibilities, trying to find what he could do next.

Since the woman wasn't the Librarian, it was clear that the Librarian was someone else. By now, it was evident that the Librarian would have noticed the commotion.

The Librarian couldn't stop the Great Elder, but she could at least contact the Sect Master or other Great Elders, informing them.

Even if he didn't leave the place, as long as he could survive or distract her while waiting for the higher ups to arrive, he might leave safely.

That was the thought in Eren's mind, but what actually happened was enough to shock him.

"Huh?"

To his surprise, Xiu Ying actually moved, as if obediently following his order like a child.

Their unexpected reaction caught Eren off guard, and he watched in astonishment as Xiu Ying listened to his instructions.

He also noticed another strange thing. When he looked at her, he didn't feel that strange sensation. She still looked beautiful, but he was able to keep his emotions in control.

"Does escaping her charm one time gives one immunity?" he muttered.

Since no one had escaped her charm, there was no mention of such a benefit. But he was clear that something was different now.

He noticed another strange thing. If previously, her eyes were filled with charm and fake emotions, then this time, her eyes looked to be filled with pure infatuation.

"Just what did you do?" he wondered, looking at the pendant.

[Congratulations on turning Great Elder Xiu Ying to your lover]

[Path of Lover has progressed]

"Turning her into my lover?" Looking at the notification, Eren let out a frown.

How did she become his lover without him doing anything at all? Usually, it was only the men who fell for her. But this time, she fell for him?

Just a few moments ago, she was about to kill him, and now she was his lover? This didn't look natural.

"Is it the backlash of her spell breaking? She was affected by it instead?" he thought, not realizing that the Pendant was able to reflect life threatening attacks with more strength.

This effect wasn't mentioned in the description of the pendant after all.

He looked at the Great Elder who had almost killed him. "I can only see for myself."

"Do you love me?" he asked the Great Elder Xiu Ying.

"More than my life." Xui Ying stated, her love for Eren reaching the level of madness. It was as if she had met her soulmate.

"Alright then, kill yourself." He tossed the dagger back at Xui Ying, commanding her.

Xui Ying grabbed the dagger, and without a second of delay, thrust it at her throat.

"Stop!" Eren called out when the dagger was merely a few inches away from her throat.

"How peculiar..." Eren muttered, taking the dagger from her hand.

When a man fell for her, they were willing to do anything she commanded. However, they looked no different than a puppet, which made it easy to recognise them.

On the other hand, the Great Elder was also willing to do anything he commanded. But she didn't look like a Puppet. If one was to ignore the infatuation in her eyes, she looked completely normal.

She hadn't turned into a puppet, but her love for him had reached a crazy height.

"Bark," he commanded as he kept the dagger in his System Storage.

"Woof."

"Woof."

If someone was here to see what the Great Elder was doing, they would have been shocked to see her shameless behavior. She was barking like an actual pet, without the slightest of embarrassment.

"Get down on your knees and apologize to me," Eren commanded next.

No matter what command he gave, the Great Elder fulfilled it.

She immediately dropped on her knees, apologizing to him.

While Eren was enjoying the sight, he felt a heavy aura descend behind him.

"What is happening here," a woman's voice resounded behind him, filled with heavy killing intent.

The Sect Master had arrived.
