The CEO's loser wife: Rebirth of the villainous queen of alchemy-Chapter 209: My dark sordid past Part 2

"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."

Su Lin talked about her past with undisguised contempt for herself.

"But it didn't matter how powerful I became, the Emperor had killed them all a long time ago, fully draining their blood.

"He even had treasures carved out of their souls, not even allowing them to rest in peace."

"I killed that monster with my own hands and retrieved those bloody treasures from various parts of the world, but nothing could ever bring back my family."

"If I had never met that poisonous man none of this would have happened and my family could have still survived. Everything happened because of my stupidity."

"It was me. My entire family is dead because of me. I placed my trust in the wrong person and I killed my entire family." Su Lin shivered as tears flooded her strained eyes.

Her voice sound hysterical and she shivered uncontrollably.

Watching the woman drown in sadness, Luther helplessly struggled. The words she recklessly blurted out, replayed in his mind like a broken radio.

The man looked stunned. He pulled her closer into his embrace and wanted to console her, but what could he ever say to make such horrendous pain disappear?

Su Lin hugged the man like he was her last hope. Every bit of pain and suffering she had holed up inside her heart fell down hard and silently.

Each single drop bore the attrocious memories that she had locked up deep inside her soul.

She had never planned to reveal them to anyone. She had never planned to trust anyone again.

But the man in front of her had smashed through all her walls and made her his own. She hugged him tightly, afraid of losing the sole light in her dark life.

"It's not your fault Su Lin. Your parents would have never blamed you. It was just an unfortunate tragedy. You don't have to carry the entire burden on your shoulders." The man's kind voice quivered.

Su Lin tilted her head up and looked at him with a vivid desperation in her eyes.

"You know what the worst part is... I killed the Emperor with my bare hands, but I never got a chance to kill that monster who betrayed me."

"I hunted him for years and years and never found even the imprint of that bastard's shadow."

She stared at him, wanting him to scold her for being so useless and weak that she couldn't even avenge her own flesh and blood's unfair demise.

But the man only sighed lightly. "Your parents would have never wanted that. Its fine. Don't worry about it. You are safe and you are here now with me. And that's all that matters."

"Was he the one who hunted you and forced you to do the soul transmigration technique?" Luther asked.

Just thinking about how someone had mercilessly cornered her and force her to escape her own world using such a brutal technique made enraged him.

"No. Some other powerful cultivators cornered me. But I think he might have had something to do with it."

"When I gathered the soul treasure created using my family members as core, I found some ancient secrets about our clan."

"Our special bloodline power was not really in the blood, but in our soul. Only because I possessed the Phoenix bloodline, I was able to do the soul transmigration and come into your world."

"The elders who cornered me, wanted that technique. This is the closest thing anyone had ever gotten to being an immortal."

"They somehow got word that I possessed a special technique that could prolong their life for eternity and hunted me down."

Luther nodded. It definitely looked suspicious. If only that man knew Su Lin's special bloodline, he might very well be responsible for this attack as well.

"Is there any chance that those monsters could ever follow you back here?"

"No... I don't think so." But Su Lin was not completely sure of her answer. The universe was sometimes too complicated and unfathomable.

She could only hope that her disastrous past could not follow her to this world. But in reality... It might just be possible...

The husband and wife pair just silently sat there for a long time.

Maybe because she was tired after imparting so many techniques using her soul, or maybe she felt relieved after sharing her miserable past, Su Lin had fallen asleep on Luther's arms.

The man gently carried the woman he cherished with his life and kissed her on her forehead. "I will never betray you, my dear. I will die first before I let anything happen to you."

Luther also had a family once upon a time, but now he barely even remembered their faces. So he could understand the pain she felt.

He quietly drove them back to the villa and carried her upstairs without the slightest disturbance to her deep slumber.

He then carefully laid her on their bed and sat next to her.

A distant resolute look appeared on his face as he affectionately gazed at his sleeping demonic angel.

The Ninth Gate war was looming in the air and though they had an absolute advantage, Luther did not want to take anything for granted.

This woman next to him was the one and the only family he has.

He needed to get stronger, much stronger than he was right now. Only with absolute strength, he could protect everyone he loved.

Luther crossed his legs and sat down in a lotus position. His body was like a hungry vortex after the body tempering he had just gone through.

He greedily absorbed and soaked all the spiritual energy that had gathered inside their villa because of the array Su Lin had set up.

Luther started meticulously cultivating. He needed to be much more stronger to support the woman he loved. At least this time, he wanted her life to be full of sunshine and warmth.
