Eren was quite conflicted with the options this ti. Once again, it beca hard to balance between risk and rewards.
Even though he didn't know how he was going to complete this task without dying, he made a selection. As for his choice, it was the only one that ca with the reward of a mory fragnt.
His heart didn't allow him to give up on a mory fragnt this ti. At the end of the day, he needed to know about the past of Ren Necroline.
Even though he was the one who made a choice, it was also him who was the most concerned about this choice. He selected the second option which needed him to kill Feng Yu in front of Xiu Ying.
He also had a deadline for this. He had to complete it within thirty days.
He gazed at Feng Yu, her lips being only a few inches away from him. However, the task was to do it when she was awake in the presence of Xiu Ying.
Fortunately, he still had so ti to think about a solution to this problem.
....
Two more hours passed and Feng Yu slowly opened her eyes, only to realize that she had fallen asleep without even realizing.
She also saw that Eren had also woken up. He was gazing at the sky, appearing to be lost in so thought. His complexion was still pale but it was still looking much better now.
Feng Yu didn't show much embarrassnt, still carrying those cold expressions as she sat up. It was unclear if she was actually not embarrassed or just didn't reveal it.
In any case, Eren was supposed to be blind right now, so she didn't think much about it. It wasn't as if he could see what she was wearing in the first place.
"You seem to be doing much better," she told Eren who ca out of his daze, noticing Feng Yu sitting next to him.
"Sect Master..." he weakly said as he tried to sit up, only to groan in pain as he held his chest that had barely stopped bleeding.
Feng Yu's eyes narrowed, almost wanting to scold him for not taking care of himself even in this condition. However, she kept her lips closed and didn't say anything.
"Why did you return?" Eren asked, having a self deprecating smile on his face.
"Hmph, I just ca because I dropped my ring here. I ca to take it back, so don't think too much about it," Feng Yu said without as much as a minute change in her expressions.
Eren knew that she was lying. When he tossed her away, he had noticed that the ring was actually carefully held by her. It hadn't dropped anywhere.
She was just using that as an excuse as if she didn't want to accept that she ca to save him.
He didn't expose her lies, only lowering his head. It wasn't as if he could say that he saw it. He was supposed to be blind after all.
It was already a miracle that she didn't question how a blind person like him managed to kill that mage, even if he used the Talisman of Death.
She also didn't question how he survived using that talisman. Although rare, there were people who had used the Talisman of death but barely survived at the end. Although rare, it was possible.
His face appeared to be lancholic as if he was a little sad to see that she didn't co to save him.
"Where is Fey?" he asked, forcing his body to stand up in this cold. He didn't ask her why she helped him with his wounds even at the cost of her clothes.
"He left the Mountain of Loss, maybe searching for . I doubt he would return again. So you don't have to force yourself. You can rest a little more."
Feng Yu also stood up, her arms wrapped around her chest, still feeling a little cold. Even though she tried to appear normal, it wasn't hard to notice her condition.
Eren didn't know what to say. The solution to that problem was right there, but she just hadn't noticed it. Now that he had woken up, only he could help her notice it.
He also didn't want to watch her shiver while pretending to be strong, especially since she was being so considerate to him.
Even though she was almost freezing here, she forced him to leave right away. Instead, she told him to rest a little more until he felt better.
Although he had already noticed that she was more considerate than she let out, it was still slightly surprising.
"I see. He must have thought that I died," Eren gave the prepared justification. "Still, we should leave. It's too risky to stay here."
He told her to leave this mountain range with him before he lost his third sense. With that, he started waking forward, intentionally taking the wrong direction to make his vision problems more evidence.
"You are going in the wrong direction," Feng Yu walked closer to him. However, before she could hold him, Eren stumped on sothing, falling on the snow.
Fortunately, even though he was weak, he didn't call face first. With his hands falling on the snow, he protected his face.
He made a painful groan as if sothing sharp struck him.
"You!" Feng Yu rushed to him, trying to help him up, only to see a ring that was lying in front of Eren's hands.
Coincidentally, it happened to be right where Eren fell, helping her see it. Or rather, Eren fell there for that exact reason. As a blind person, he couldn't just point out the ring.
"This ring..."
Feng Yu helped Eren sit before picking up the ring. It wasn't the ring of the great demon sect, but it was still a storage ring.
Its build was sothing that could only be found in the Northern Continent, confirming that it was sothing that belonged to the Wind Mage that Eren was fighting.
