Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Eren's Touch
As if being carried like this wasn't embarrassing enough, she felt something more. To carry her properly, Eren's arms were on her back. But they weren't on her waist or anywhere good.
"Did you have to hold me there?" she asked Eren.
"You can't blame me. It offered me the best grip," Eren responded. "I couldn't have you fall and hit your head somewhere."
"Hmph, let me down now."
Yelen didn't know what happened to her. How did she end up over his shoulders when she was walking behind him? It was as if a part of her memory was missing.
The first thing she tried was to get down on her own feet, feeling embarrassed at being carried like this.
Eren was about to put her down when she started living to free herself.
As Yelen kept moving to free herself while Eren was already planning to put her down, he was also taken aback, feeling as if she was going to fall.
"Eek!" Yelen's body suddenly trembled as she let out an unwilling noise. Due to her fierce movement and Eren's attempt to prevent her fall, his finger ended up resting over something it shouldn't have.
She felt a current run down her body. Although no smoke was coming out of her ears, it was as if her brain had stopped working.
Her resistance came to a sudden stop as if she lost all her strength. As Eren was still walking forward, the movements were making her body feel even more.
"Can you..." she tried saying weakly, her hands losing all their strength. In front of Eren, she was no different than an ordinary girl.
Eren acted ignorant and asked, "Can I what?"
"Your finger..." Yelen said, her face turning completely red.
"What about my finger?" Eren asked. Although it was an unintentional accident from him, but at the end of day, he was still a man. He wasn't a fool to not realize where his finger was.
"It is on..." Yelen bit her lower lips, not being able to complete her sentence.
"You will have to be clear," Eren stated, still acting ignorant.
It was as if he found it fun to tease the woman who loved to peep on him when he was being intimate with someone. Now that it was her turn, she was like a robot who was frozen.
Eren was just teasing Yelen, hence he didn't remove his finger that was gently brushing against her with each step he took on this uneven ground.
"Hmm? Why does this feel a little..." he suddenly thought, taken aback. There was still a layer of cloth between them, but still he was able to feel as if his finger was on something wet.
"You!" Yelen covered her face with her palm, feeling as embarrassed as she never felt before.
While Eren was still taken aback, she pushed herself back and freed her from his grasp. Still, she didn't have the strength to face him.
With the corner of her eyes, she gazed at Eren who had an intrigued smile on his lips.
"Don't say a single word!" She rolled her eyes, almost as if she was scolding him.
Eren scratched the back of his head. "I didn't say anything."
"I know what you were going to say!" Yelen said, keeping her head lowered. She still didn't look him in the eyes.
Eren found Yelen's behavior quite cute. She was also a really pretty person. Unfortunately, this wasn't a good place. The longer they stayed here, the more dangerous this place was going to become for them.
Every day, they were going to lose a sense here, making every second precious.
"Where do we have to go?" Yelen asked, changing the topic right away. It was more embarrassing for her in any case.
Eren also noticed her tactics but he didn't expose her. They came here for a more important reason after all. However, he could still feel her sweet scent lingering around him.
'No wonder main characters always say that cringe lines like a woman only affect the speed at which they draw their sword.' He thought, shaking his head lightly.
He regained his composure and focused on the thread. With the appearance of the author, he realized that things had truly become more dangerous.
With this, he also managed to confirm that the person he was going to face was someone like him and Aster. The two of them came from earth and possessed a person from this world.
He was curious about the identity of the person he possessed. How was that person able to defeat Feng Yu? Did he use some trick or was he really that strong?
He couldn't ignore either of the possibilities. If he defeated Feng Yu properly, that meant he was extremely strong which made him dangerous.
On the other hand, if he used a trick, that made him even more dangerous as it showed how clever he was.
Even Eren hadn't found a way to defeat someone like Feng Yu yet, as even poison was useless on her. Feng Yu could sense poison, so it couldn't work on her.
He wondered if it was because of the author. It also made him wonder why this person called the author again. How did he even get two question vouchers? Had he also progressed as much as him?
He was quite curious about the question that was aimed at the author this time. Was it something related to other Transmigrators? Or was it something that could expose his presence in this mountain range?
There were a lot of questions in his mind and only one destination for an answer.
