50 Chapter 50: A woman's scent
"Are you cooking the Poison Dragon?"
"Do I look like a crazy person to you? Why would I want to eat the Poison Dragon?"
Eren pointed towards the Poison Dragon's corpse in the distance which was still perfectly intact.
"I'm roasting what I brought with me."
The Woman looked at Eren suspiciously. He had received everything that he wanted, so why was he still here? Was he planning to do something?
"If I wanted to kill you, do you think you would have been alive until now?"
"You...!!!"
"Don't get flustered. I'm just here because I thought it would be bad to leave you here alone."
"What do you mean?"
She didn't understand why Eren was saying that. The Poison Dragon was dead. So who could be more dangerous than him?
Instead, she would have felt much safer if he wasn't gere.
"If I was able to find my way here, others might as well. And they might not be as good as me."
"So you were guarding me?"
The woman didn't believe his words. But at the same time, this was the one thing that made sense. Why else would he stay behind?
Although she was thinking of him as a bad guy, she knew that he hadn't actually done anything to her.
He had just killed the Poison Dragon which didn't mean he was an enemy. It was her who attacked him, and even then, he didn't kill her.
He could have killed her multiple times, but he didn't. Even when she lost her mind, he could have toyed with her body all he wanted, but he was a gentleman until the end.
Instead of using her, he helped her. The only thing he took from her was the Inheritance, which was also in the form of a trade.
Once the trade was completed and he owned the ring, he could have killed her without losing the Inheritance. Still, he didn't do that.
The more she thought about it, the more genuine this person seemed.
"You were affected by the poison. Even though you have healed, you are still weak. I've left enough food for you. Have it and then leave when you're done."
Eren stood up, leaving an entire feast next to the flames that were prepared for the woman.
The woman looked at the delicious food, almost drooling.
"Are you leaving?" she asked Eren, watching him leave.
"Do you want me to babysit you?" Eren waved his hand, and started leaving.
He was leaving, but he intentionally walked slower, waiting for something.
"Wait..."
The woman finally stood up. Even as she was weak, she walked over to Eren.
She bowed to him.
"Thank you for helping me. If you ever need my help, I will certainly repay this favor."
She gave him a warm smile and a heartfelt thank you. She really felt regretful over her misunderstanding.
The man helped her and he even cooked for her. And after all that, he was leaving without asking for anything? This man didn't have any ulterior motives in her eyes.
He was genuinely a good person. Moreover, he was also stronger than her which made her feel slightly attracted to him.
When it came to his looks, it was even better. He was more handsome than anyone she had ever seen.
"We will see."
Eren didn't react much. He just took the crystal that she gave him. It was used to contact her but it could only be used once.
Eren walked past the door, leaving this special region.
He appeared back in the forest, having a grin on his lips.
He had taken the woman who was going to become one of the biggest supporters of Ye Liang by interfering in their meeting.
He had also gained an inheritance that even Ye Liang didn't receive in the novel. And lastly, that woman owed him a favor now.
With that woman's true identity, only he knew the value of this favor. That woman wasn't that special, but what was special was her family.
She kept her identity hidden when she came to the Eastern Continent, but Eren was someone who had read the novel.
He knew her identity more than she thought.
This super strength was something that came from her father's Bloodline. But the truly special thing was her mother's Bloodline that was still waiting to bloom inside her.

That woman was no ordinary person. She was from the Southern Continent. That's why she was so strong and this was when she hadn't even awakened the Bloodline from her mother's side yet.
This super strength was something that came from her father's Bloodline. But the truly special thing was her mother's Bloodline that was still waiting to bloom inside her.
The woman wasn't Eren's target. His main Target was her mother. Her mother was the Dean of the Mythical Hero Academy and one of the Four Overlords.
"This has been a fruitful trip."
Eren left the place, giving a signal to the Flaming Phoenix.
The Phoenix screeched high in the sky, coming down like a falling comet.
Her warm winds surrounded Eren, making him fly higher. He landed on the back of the Phoenix.
In another part of the forest, Xui Ying had been toying with Ye Liang who was on the verge of crying.
She heard the screeching of the Phoenix, realizing that Eren was done.
She flew high, landing on the back of the Phoenix.
"Your lips... Why are they bleeding?" Xui Ying saw Eren, instantly getting shocked. "And this... Is this a woman's scent?"
....
Back in the special realm, the young woman was lost in thoughts.
Everything that happened recently felt like a dream, but the corpse of the Poison Dragon made it clear that this wasn't a dream.
"Wait, I forgot to ask his name!"
She soon came to her senses. She rushed out of the Portal, trying to find Eren.
At the same time, Ye Liang finally reached the entrance of the portal.
With Xui Ying leaving, he was finally able to reach this place.
Looking at the door before him, he felt like crying in happiness.
"It took a long, but I'm finally here."
He stepped forward but before he could enter, another figure rushed out from the other side, sending him flying and coughing blood.
