Eren quickly turned his back to give her so privacy, wondering why she ca out in such a rush that she didn't even have ti to dress properly.
"Put so-" he said, his voice steady yet gentle. However before he could finish his sentence, he felt her grab onto his arm, even being able to feel the softness of her body that was still slightly wet from water.
"Master, I did it! I learned it!" Yu Lin exclaid, hugging onto his arm. It was as if she was a child who had been looking forward to being praised after achieving sothing great.
Eren wondered just what went wrong with this girl. In the novel, she was quite serious. Even after going through life threatening situations with the main character, she didn't completely open up before him.
Why was she so close to him? Was it just because he was her master?
As far as he rembered, he hadn't spent much ti with her either. He only managed to do a few things for her, so it couldn't be gratitude either. So why?
"I heard about that," Eren smiled as he lowered his gaze to properly look at the disciple who was much shorter than him.
He intended to look at her face as she was looking up, but his gaze couldn't help but falter as he noticed that the towel had gone a little too down, revealing what it shouldn't have.
He quickly recovered his gaze and didn't ntion it, not wanting to embarrass her. Still, for so extent, he felt like it was intentional. He wasn't sure if it was his misconception but Yu Lin appeared proud as his gaze faltered for a mont.
He didn't think that was the case. Considering it to be his misconception, he focused on her face.
With the other hand that was free, he patted her head. "I knew you could do it. You truly make proud, little one."
"Master, let show you!" Yu Lin exclaid as she finally freed his hand while moving back to reveal the new skill she had learned. She moved back.
The towel that had already slid down, barely being held up by the fact that she was hugging onto Eren's arms.
The mont she moved back, freeing his arm, the towel that was barely being held up slid down, revealing everything for Eren to see.
For a mont, Eren caught quite a sight. He knew that if he acted embarrassed here, it was only going to embarrass his disciple more.
The only way to not embarrass her was to pretend that it didn't matter. He was a master, how could he mind such a thing?
He reached out his hand to pick up the towel from the ground. At the sa ti, Yu Lin also bent forward, their hands touching.
Eren stayed calm and picked up the towel.
"Get dressed," Eren told Yu Lin as he handed her the towel, unable to prevent himself from taking another glance. "I'll wait for you outside. You can show your skills there."
He turned around and left the courtyard, not looking back. He didn't realize that Yu Lin was still watching him, holding on to the towel.
....
Eren stood outside the courtyard, his back resting against the wall. His arms were folded around his chest as he appeared to be lost in thought.
"I know my appearance had a butterfly effect on this world. But how can that change her personality to this extent? Not just her, but the Main Character Ye Liang also appeared a bit strange," he mumbled, thinking about all the strange things that had happened.
The more ti he spent in this world, the less sense it had started to make sense for him. The only thing that was still good was that he had beco stronger.
Even with his cultivation sealed, he was stronger than a Great Elder. And that was when he hadn't yet completely mastered his dragon tongue or the Bloodlines completely.
While thinking about the strangeness of the situation, he was also looking at the two notifications in front of him.
It was a reward. Although it took so ti, the rewards of his main and secondary path were delivered to him.
[Congratulations on saving Feng Yu and completing the selected Option]
[You have been rewarded with a Favor Token]
[Favor Token: sing the Token, you can ask Feng Yu to do one favor for you. As long as it doesn't put her life at risk or go against her core desire, she will fulfill it]
[Congratulations on becoming the sect master of the Great Demon Sect and completing the selected option]
[You have been rewarded with a Question Voucher]
He received a Favor Token for saving Feng Yu, as the reward from the main path. As for the Question Voucher, it ca as a reward for becoming the sect master, even if it was temporarily.
In the first place, he himself hadn't expected Feng Yu to make him the sect master. If anything, he had planned to use the Favor Token to have her hand over the sect master's position.
That's also why he hadn't selected the sa option in his tertiary path which asked him to convince Feng Yu to give him the sect master's position.
He was planning to use the Favor Token, which he assud was going to make her do him one favor. As it was the effect of a treasure, it didn't count as convincing her so his tertiary path would have failed.
That's why, he went with a different option with his path of lover options. It also helped that another option ca with a better reward that was a mory fragnt.
He looked at the Favor Token in his inventory, wondering how he could use it now. The use he had planned was already achieved without even using it.
For now, he didn't think about using it and saved it for later. As for the Question Voucher which could arrange a eting with the author, he already had an idea on how to use it.
It was also the most important reward that he had been craving for, after learning more about this world.
....
A few monts later, Yu Lin erged, fully dressed in her cultivation robes. "I'm ready, Master."
