What nonsense?

Luther felt like she was speaking a completely different language. Energy waves inside his body? How was it possible?

He closed his hopelessly sad eyes and nevertheless tried doing what Su Lin said.

She seemed so enthusiastic, that he didn't have the heart to brush it off, without even trying.

He slowly tried to forget all the chaos and brutality currently ruling his life, and bring his focus and concentration on his body's center.

This is an utter waste of time. Nothing is going to happen.

Luther was so close to giving up and speeding out of the place when he couldn't help but feel small p.r.i.c.kly sensations slowly wiggling around in his lower abdomen.

They were so minute and almost intangible, but he could definitely feel something there.

Luther was instantly stunned and shocked!

Worms in my belly?

"Worms in my belly?" Luther looked up and asked curiously like a small child.

He didn't know how else to describe it. The feeling was very surreal.

Su Lin chuckled and pulled him closer, "Shall I tell you a small secret?"

Luther blinked, having no idea what was going on.

"You are now a bit closer to one of those powerful elders of the h.e.l.l gates or whatever." Su Lin's honey-like voice gently whispered in his ears.

Luther was completely dumbfounded.

He looked utterly dazed for a second, staring at her unfathomable eyes, that twinkled as if they encompa.s.sed an entire star-studded sky within them.

Finally, after a couple of minutes, he snapped out of it.

"Come on. You can't be serious." Luther scoffed.

"I think enough is enough. I should go now. I know you want me to stay and help, but I am rejecting that offer." Luther stood up with determination.

"Not so soon, honey. I reject your rejection." Su Lin smirked and pulled him back again.

"Ok, this is getting desperate now. Sometimes we just cannot get everything we want in our life. Please be mature and understand that." Luther sighed and spoke.

Though his words were harsh, they were heavily drenched in regret and sadness.

"I am sorry, but that's just how losers think." Su Lin scoffed.

"I get whatever I want!"

"I brought you back from that vegetative state, I can also take you to the top of this world."

"Your brothers trusted me then, and now it is your turn to trust me."

Confidence... No arrogance... Luther looked at her, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

The woman in front of him shone with blinding confidence and determination.

Would it really be that bad to trust her? or would it end up being a fool's errand?

Heh... Luther chuckled and patted his cheeks. He had an adorable cute expression in his face.

What was he even thinking so much about? Didn't love and trust go hand in hand?

How could he love her and not trust her?

If it was just him, he would be content and happy with just spending the rest of his life with her, no matter how long or short that was.

Let it be for a year or a month or even a week... It really did not matter!

He would gladly die like a fool in this woman's arms.

But, it wasn't him that he was so concerned about. Rather he was more worried about his brother's lives.

Under no circ.u.mstance, could he ever drag his brothers down with him...

He looked at Su Lin again and saw that she didn't budge from her position. Her eyes were begging him to trust her and put his faith in her.

Luther hesitated for a moment, but eventually ended up relenting.

"I will stay with you here and see what we can do. But I need to go and send my brothers away."

He decisively spoke and left, without any further doubts clouding his mind.

Su Lin did not wait in the living room any longer.

She walked upstairs to the bedroom, to take a nap in the huge luxurious mansion, which now felt cold and lonely.

But it was ok.

After all, in her lifetime, she had weathered much worse cold and lonely winter nights all by herself...

The next day:

It was morning already, and Su Lin could already sense the gloom and sadness in the huge house.

She dragged herself out of the bed, knowing full well that even Luther might not have returned back.

She had tried her best to convince him, but ultimately she couldn't give any concrete proof.

How could she prove?

Her current cultivation was so pathetic that any of those insects could kill her in an instant.

But still, only with her they even had a fighting chance.

She walked downstairs, ready to start her morning workout.

After circling the empty villa gardens for a few rounds, she was now convinced that yesterday had been a complete and utter failure.

It looked like she did not end up convincing anyone. It was just her and the huge house.

With a big ugly frown on her face, Su Lin sulked and disappointedly opened the huge garage-like doors for the gym.

"Those idiots. How could they not trust me even one bit?? a.s.sholes. Jerks. Cowards. Morons..." Su Lin was broiling in anger and disappointment when a familiar raspy voice sounded in her ears.

"Why are you so hot and spicy this early in the morning my dear?"

Completely taking her by surprise, Luther's sweet and charming voice sounded, with a pair of rough hands hugging her from behind.

What? Su Lin turned back, with all the gloom and sadness immediately disappearing from her face.

But her pleasant surprise didn't stop there.

Besides Luther, all six brothers were there, bowing and paying respect to her as a student would do to a teacher.

"We are all in your care, Master."
