My Beautiful Disciples, I’m really not the Main Character!Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Queen in Embrace
While the Spirit Queen observed the Pendant of Poison, Eren observed her.
The Spirit Queen had deep black hair that cascaded down her back. Every movement she made was graceful, confident and filled with charm.
She had a timeless elegance and eyes that sparkled like stars on a clear night while being filled with curiosity. Even though she wasn’t smiling, it was clear that her smile could only increase her charm.
She wasn’t prettier than Xiu Ying, but she was not less either. She just had a different charm than Xiu Ying which didn’t pale in comparison either.
She examined his pendant with intense curiosity, her delicate fingers almost brushing against the cold crystal. However, just as her fingers were about to touch the pendant, she quickly retracted her hand.
She hadn’t even touched the pendant but her fingers still turned black from poison just because of being in close proximity to the pendant.
The Spirit Queen was so taken aback when she felt the poison spread in her fingers, she almost lost her balance and fell back.
“Watch out!” Eren reacted fast and reached out his hand, grabbing her hand to prevent her fall.
He instead pulled her closer so she didn’t fall behind as the Spirit Grass was right behind her. If she fell in this place, it was the Spirit Grass that might be crushed.
He didn’t want to be blamed if the Spirit Grass was destroyed. She was the one who tried to touch it and he wasn’t at fault, but still he didn’t want to create any variables.
He didn’t think of anything other than saving the Spirit Grass. Unfortunately, as he suddenly pulled the Spirit Queen in his direction, it was him who lost his balance.
He fell on his back with the Spirit Queen falling on top of him.
“Kyaaa, that pervert didn’t leave Queen Mother either! Help!” The Spirit Grass, seemingly awake from her short name, started screaming in her childish voice again.
“You!” Eren clicked his tongue, even more annoyed at the Spirit Grass’s words. “You little brat, I should’ve let her crush you instead!”
He argued back with the Spirit Grass. In his distraction, he didn’t even realize that when the Spirit Queen fell on top of him, his hand had moved into her skin waist.
The Spirit Queen was even more shocked than Eren. She was momentarily frozen in shock.
She had never been touched by a human. She didn’t even have a contract with a human in all her life. How did she end up in a human’s embrace? Her mind had gone completely black.
Estelina was standing in the back when she saw her mother fall on top of Eren. Her jaw almost dropped to the ground. She brought Eren here so they could uncover his secrets, but what was happening now?
Nothing had gone right for her ever since she brought this man into this world! Not only was she mocked and insulted, but she was also threatened before the Guards in the outer city. And now this?
“Can you take your hands off?” The Spirit Queen came to her senses, gathering some composure.
“My hands?” Eren didn’t understand what she was talking about. He thought about his hands and felt like they were holding onto something slender and soft. МᏙԼΞᎷҎ¥Я.ϽⵔϺ
“Don’t tell me…” If his hands were free, he would have facepalmed himself at this moment. He quickly removed his hands from the Spirit Queen’s waist.
Estelina rushed to her mother and helped her up.
“Mother, this man is truly rude! Let me punish him for you!”
The Spirit Queen stood up. Her thoughts were also a mess at this moment.
“Punish for what? I just tried to save the Spirit Grass. Everything else was an accident.”
Eren also stood up and patted his clothes. Now that his mind wasn’t focused on the Spirit Grass, he was also able to notice his surroundings better.
This place was the lowest island, but there were no people here other than the Spirit Queen and Estelina who came with him.
He had thought that the lowest Island was the place where the weakest Spirits lived, but he realized that this was something more than that.
There was no other island lower than this. So it didn’t make sense for the portal to lead to this place, unless the coordinates could be manipulated.
There was no way ordinary spirits would have been allowed on this island. Estelina had only set this location because she was certain that her mother was going to be here.
The lowest island was the personal garden for the Spirit Queen and the highest island was her castle. The remaining islands were for spirits.
That explained why something like a Spirit Grass was at a place like this, being cared for by the Spirit Queen herself. It also meant that if he was pushed down from this island, he was going to fall to his death if he hadn’t known how to fly.
“Hmph, this pervert knows how to come up with a good excuse! He wants to pretend to be a savior after bullying me so much?” The Spirit Grass rustle in disapproval.
“You know, sometimes I really feel like stomping you. Can’t you keep your mouth shut for a moment?” Eren scolded the Spirit Grass that kept intervening.
“Kyaa, Queen Mother! This pervert wants to kill me!”
Eren’s lips twitched in frustration. There was just no end to this Spirit Grass’ nonsense. If it wasn’t something cherished by the Spirit Queen, he wasn’t sure what he might have done at this point.
Fortunately, Eren wasn’t at a complete loss.
He watched the Spirit Queen’s sharp reaction when she tried to touch his pendant. It confirmed his notion that his poison was indeed effective against the Spirits, including the Spirit Queen.
It gave him a little more confidence about his ability to protect himself. The only problem was getting away from the Spirit Realm.
The timer of the selection was also moving towards an end. He didn’t have long before he had to make a selection.
