Chapter 120 My new bride is a bit shy Part 4
Luther"s heart was still a bit skeptical of the woman in front of him and her outright arrogant proclamations.
There was still a part of him that refused to believe that all of this was actually true!
Such unspeakable power... wasn"t it just a tad too unfair?
Who can stand against such a huge monstrosity?
It would through and through be an uphill hopeless battle. The strong shouldn"t be allowed to have that much power over the weak. The very idea of it would be blasphemous. He didn"t want such a thing to exist.
But his every single doubt and uncertainty shattered, disappearing into the void, the moment he focused his mind and concentrated.
The empty black nothingness which usually greeted him as he closed his eyes, was now completely invaded by vivid tiny grains of brilliantly s.h.i.+ning light specs.
Luther found himself surrounded by these million tiny radiating light spots, like fireflies in a bejeweled night sky.
He had to open and close his eyes multiple times just to confirm this fact again and again. It was still so hard to believe!! Everything felt surreal.
Bewildered, he opened his eyes in surprise and stole a glance at the still silently meditating Su Lin.
So everything she said was true?
Luther calmed himself down and tried pulling the light spots towards him by sheer will power. This was the next step.
Again surprising himself, his body innately started attracting these light spots like a hungry vortex, with each spot moving towards him at a visible speed.
This is cultivation?
Slowly as he focussed more and more, the individual spots blurred and he could no longer see anything.
Only the feeling of gentle warmth caressing his body in small undulating waves remained.
All of his other senses dulled and only this feeling remained.
He neither felt the rain that poured that night nor the next few days" boiling hot sunlight. Nothing affected him at all.
Luther just continued sitting there, with his eyes closed for days together.
Even Squirrel and Monkey were perplexed by their brother"s trance-like state. They couldn"t help but shudder in front of the evidence staring at their face.
Everything which their sister-in-law had talked about turned out to be absolutely true!
Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months...
Luther hungrily absorbed all the energy he could sense to his heart"s content.
This was his chance. This was the weapon in his hand to bring down the evil that had tortured him and his brothers since their birth. So he worked hard without cutting any corners.
Finally, after three grueling months, Luther woke up, with a slight frown on his face. He had run into his first problem. There was no more spiritual energy left!
She had a glow about her that was mesmerizing. Under his unwavering gaze, Su Lin uncomfortably fidgeted.
She then attempted to chuckle lightly and playfully teased, "First come first serve. Looks like I gobbled up all the energy here before you."
Luther stared at her for a couple of minutes, before snapping out of it.
His hypnotizing eyes turned crescent as he smiled, cheris.h.i.+ng wholeheartedly the woman in front of him.
He then tested the br.i.m.m.i.n.g strength of his newly formed bone and body structure.
Unexpectedly, the energy in the higher ranges of the Kawa Karpo peak was enough to form an almost complete Stage 2 Soul Core.
While a complete soul core of this stage, would break down the entire body and reform all the cells and tissues, much stronger and resilient, a partially formed soul core"s effect wasn"t that bad either.
In the flash of a second, Luther stood up, with his beautiful wife already in his arms. At this instant, he really couldn"t contain the joy in his heart.
This woman right here was his angel from the heavens. Once upon a time, he had hoped that he could be her savior, but who knew it would turn out like this...
She came to him like a breath of fresh air and eventually ended up breathing a new life into his tormented half-dead soul.
He gazed at the comfortably bundled up delicate figure in his arms affectionately.
"You... You still accept me?" Su Lin hesitantly minced her words as she looked past the devilishly handsome man into the vast nothingness of the sky.
Her eyelashes fluttered restlessly as she awaited a reply from him.
"Hmm?" Luther was surprised. What was she talking about?
"You... you are not scared of me?"
Luther"s expression changed ever so slightly, as he finally realized what she was asking about.
Her anxious expression did not suit her small cute face.
He smirked silently as he gazed at the woman patiently waiting for his response.
Then suddenly, without giving her any sort of notice, he promptly bent down to take a peck at those soft cherry colored quivering lips.
The peck slowly turned into a deep pa.s.sionate kiss as she let him wander as freely as he pleased.
Gasping for breath, Luther finally parted and came up for some air.
He then murmured sweetly in her ears. "I already know everything about you."
Now, it was Su Lin"s turn to be confused!
"What?" she curiously asked, with her eyes glued onto the devilishly beautiful face staring at her.
"Yup, everything about you." Luther playfully teased.
He then chuckled and added, "Aren"t you the evil witch, who part-times as an alluring demoness and a money-grubbing monster?"
He rubbed her soft cherry-like lips and eased her concerns. "There is nothing new that can scare me away, my darling."
Su Lin looked at him completely shocked.
She inched closer and hugged him tighter hiding the tears threatening to drench her soft and creamy cheeks.
Just when things were getting heated up, Monkey cleared his throat loudly.
"Ahem Ahem!"
"Don"t ignore these two spare tires over here boss!!"
