The leader grinned from cheek to cheek and winked at his beaming subordinates, very obviously drowning in his happiness, all the while, unknowingly tightening his grip on Su Lin's neck.
"There is no way these insects are escaping now. He even had a hostage heh."
He even sloppily bent her right to left, while confidently proclaiming his success to his subordinates.
But soon... he realized that something was just not right.
The men standing in front of him... for some reason didn't seem to be scared? Shouldn't they be shivering by now? Maybe even dropping down on their knees begging for mercy?
Hmmm?
Instead of fear, there seems to be some other expression in their faces.
Wait a second. Are these idiots actually looking at me pitifully right now?? What the hell??
The leader was confused.
Though his confusion disappeared a few seconds later, and all his answers were revealed.
The frail woman he had mistakenly held as hostage suddenly loosened from his iron grip.
"Shit. Did I kill her by mistake?" The leader looked down. Though even if he did, it wouldn't really be that much of an issue.
But, even before he could finish that thought, he was already lying on the ground, with his entire body twitching in pain.
"What the hell is happening?" The leader groaned miserably and craned his neck to look for his subordinates.
However, the sight which met his eyes instantly sent uncontrollable tremors down his spine.
What the hell is happening? All his men were actually lying on the ground pathetically lifeless, with their necks snapped concisely.
"Do you know why I am leaving you alive? Go... Run while you can and tell your friends that I am coming for them." The frail woman he had previously held hostage now squatted next to him.
Her deep azure eyes contained an ominous chill that frightened his very soul.
Luther who was trying his very best to restrain himself finally acted. He had wanted to thrash this fattened pig, the minute he had laid a finger on Su Lin, but he didn't want to ruin his wifey's fun.
His sweet little wifey had a special flair for the dramatic.
So he had to patiently wait for the theatrics to get done. Now that she had had her fun, he dragged the twitching guy and tossed him outside the mansion's gates.
Monkey looked at his first brother's flawless movements in awe, with his mouth wide open. He was in and out of that enormous villa in a matter of seconds.
Amongst all their progress, Luther's and Su Lin's improvement seemed to be leaps and bounds above others, with both of them already a step out of the mortal realm.
"Master, this is not fair! Why is first brother's cultivation progress alone so much easier and faster compared to ours?"
"Don't worry and focus. You have to pay attention even to the minute details while cultivating. Your hard work will never be betrayed by the heavens." Su Lin consoled him while smiling sheepishly.
Of course, she alone knew the super-secretive reason as to why Luther's cultivation was at breakneck speed.
The disciples immediately got to cleaning out the trashed villa, whilst the master peacefully retreated to her bedroom for a night of much-deserved beauty sleep.
Now that her cultivation had reached a certain extent, it would be much easier to achieve her precious dreams of being a famous celebrity and ruling over this world.
And there was no need to worry anymore about someone being powerful than her in this realm.
She had already reached the foundation establishment stage and was merely a step away from the perfect core stage.
The important step here, especially on this planet, was the foundation establishment stage.
Unlike her soul, which had been constantly drenched in spiritual energy for decades and decades, the noobs here barely had any exposure to the abundant spiritual energy.
Even if they are able to muster any pitiful foundation, it would still be vastly inferior to hers.
And the stages after foundation establishment? They might as well forget about those.
There was absolutely no possibility for anyone in this realm, including her, to achieve such a feat.
Well, at least for now... Su Lin's eyes twinkled as she thought about the plans she had for making that dream a reality.
If what she has planned proceeds accordingly, she might even be able to achieve her previous demi-god stage on this planet.
But, that can wait for now. After all, there were more important matters to attend to... like her beauty sleep.
The ruffians had luckily not ruined the master bedroom's items and her favorite soft plush bed.
Thud...
Su Lin lazily flopped on the bed, too tired to even shower.
Though she had once been an experienced almighty immortal, she still had to deal with the mental tiredness that came with the cultivation process.
Her slender eyelashes fluttered as she sluggishly fell asleep like a small child.
Not long after a handsome devil tiptoed and sneakily entered her room.
They were finally back home and he happily occupied his rightful place... lying on the bed beside his beautiful wifey.
Running his fingers along her enchanting long silken threads, he missed the smell of that soul-stirring lavender.
The man who was once caged and tied down by the weight of the world was now gazing at the elegant woman shimmering in front of him, without a worry in mind.
His impeccable face revealed a gentle smile as he caressed the woman sleeping deeply.
What did he ever do to deserve this much happiness in his life... he wondered... as he carefully poured some of Su Lin's personally concocted lavender hair mask and gently rubbed it on her silky soft locks.
He finally had a place to call home... and a person to love and cherish for the rest of his life...
