Chapter 208: My dark sordid past Part 1
Luther was usually a very playful and chill person, but when the man got serious it could be a bit frightening.
Su Lin pouted and skipped closer to him. No matter how angry he got, she of course held the absolute and most powerful weapon to make it all go away.
Ignoring his menacing eyes, she bravely leaned closer and planted a kiss on the man\'s pillowy lips.
"Mmmm... When did you become such a smooth talker?" Luther couldn\'t resist her warm embrace and pulled the guilty woman closer.
The gentle kiss became a passionate powerful soul-sucking attack and the man roughly nibbled on her lips to punish her.
"Ouch. You monster." Su Lin rubbed her sore cheeks and lips and stepped back.
"Heh... How am I the monster, when you are the one doing these monstrous things??" All of Su Lin\'s hard work went down the drain and the man resumed back his menacing look.
Recognizing that the kissing tactic was not working anymore, she sulked and turned away, with a pitiful expression on her face, as if the entire world had wronged her.
"Ah..." Luther was instantly shocked and out of words. His scheming wifey was totally playing him, but why was it working so well??
Before his cold exterior completely shattered, he decided to get to the point.
"You seemed to have a lot of powerful techniques in your possession." His eyebrows rose as he casually questioned her.
Su Lin immediately grinned and answered with excitement.
"He He. Yes, yes, I do. This one time I single-handedly raided an entire Kingdom and got so many treasures from them."
"I even have the perfect technique for you - Asura\'s lightning blades. It perfectly combines your dual sword art with your lightning attacks."
"I have also picked out a movement art for you - Flashing Nine Heavens steps. It helps you skillfully evade several attacks and helps your movement speed and agility."
Su Lin started ranting on and on about the different martial art cultivation techniques, she had picked out for Luther, racking her brain that contained tens of thousands of years of experience.
The man standing in front of her though did not look that impressed. He lightly tapped his fingers on the wall and tossed out his next question.
"And just how many life and death battles did you have to fight to get even one of those?"
"Ah... ugh..." Su Lin immediately shut her wildly running mouth. No wonder her darling had been mad at her. He was simply worried about her.
She leaned in closer and fell back into his embrace again. Hugging his naked slightly wet body, Su Lin reassuringly whispered in the man\'s ears.
"It\'s alright dear. I am fine. I am standing in front of you, aren\'t I? Alive and well. Don\'t worry about the stupid past."
Luther sighed. He hugged back tightly and patted her head.
"Did you suffer too much, my dear? Is that why you were having those sleepless nights a while back?"
Su Lin nuzzled in closer and smiled in satisfaction. It felt good to be loved.
She looked up, gazing at his electric hazel brown eyes and softly murmured. "Everyone is born naive and innocent. Only the circumstances shape them out to be what they are."
"I did suffer, my dear. I never told you this before, but you are not the first person I fell in love with."
"I once trusted someone with all of my heart and he betrayed me cruelly just for the sake of being more powerful."
Su Lin sat down on the marble floor of the SPA building with Little white on her lap. She pulled Luther down to sit beside her.
She leaned on his chest with a melancholic expression and decided to share a bit of her past with him.
"My family, me, my sisters, my mom, my dad, and my entire clan... We all had a special bloodline called phoenix bloodline."
"But we always guarded this secret very closely because if someone knew they would inevitably hunt us down to the ends of heavens and use us as blood bags for myraid powerful cultivation techniques."
"Though I was stupid and naive back then, I still did not reveal this secret to the man who fancied me."
"But unfortunately, one day our small town was attacked by a band of thugs and my parents had to reveal their blood magic in order to save me and my boy friend."
"The ungrateful bastard ratted out our secret the very next day to the Emperor, in exchange for wealth and power."
"And the merciless Emperor captured out entire clan and imprisoned them as slaves. He did not even let off my two years old sister."
"I alone was able to escape because of a fortuitous encounter. I was visiting the nearby city to learn alchemy, ironically to make myself prettier for that bastard."
"When I came back everyone was gone and everything was destroyed. And I could do nothing except shed helpless and useless tears."
"That was my beginning. I resolved to free my clan one day and worked hard on my cultivation like a maniac."
Luther held Su Lin\'s hand tightly and patted her head. Her entire family was imprisoned in front of her... He couldn\'t even imagine the pain something like that could have caused.
Su Lin smiled. She was very grateful for his small gestures of love and affection.
Though all of this happened many many years ago, the pain was still raw, and the man\'s doting eased her pain, even if it was just a little bit.
She contently smiled and continued, "Maybe because I had the phoenix bloodline, alchemy came to me naturally and I quickly progressed in ranks and strength."
"I became one of the most powerful alchemists with a deity cultivation realm."
