Chapter 189 Demons within Part 7
Under the dim light of the moon, Luther's elegant eyes shone as he watched his wife in awe.
As soon as the array was activated, waves of spiritual energy roiled in the small cubical space in their hotel suite.
This time around the waves were not gentle and nourishing like before.
For some reason, the energy seemed as if it contained a life of its own and roared in anger. It was tyrannical like the ancient dragons.
And with every passing minute, the condensed energy felt more and more agitated.
Yet, the woman seated in the midst of the array enchantment, seemed cool and composed, not bothered by it at all.
Luther, however, restlessly fidgeted as worry filled his face.
His knuckles had even turned white from gripping the bedsheets too tightly. The sheets were probably ruined and beyond salvage.
But he controlled himself and patiently watched over the woman.
A few more minutes passed and suddenly, beads of pure dark red blood trickled out of the corners of the woman's mouth, making Luther jump up in fright.
He clenched his fists nervously. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to help her but he didn't want that help to backfire and unintentionally harm her.
His only consolation was that the woman still remained calm and unfazed as if she had expected all of this to happen.
But the situation was not improving at all. Soon, blood started seeping out from her eyes, ears, and nose as well.
Luther's expression immediately darkened. He was already at his limits. But he gritted his teeth and bore with it. "Damn it. I need to trust her."
He held his screaming instincts back and barely controlled himself from breaking into the array enchantment right this second.
While he was suffering in silence, Su Lin took her sweet time and was finally done after 10 long minutes.
The array calmed down as well and all the energy magically disappeared into nothingness.
Su Lin herself looked very drained and tired. Her face and clothes were a bloody mess.
She couldn't even get up from the floor and was about to stumble and fall when Luther dashed forward and caught her. He gently lifted her up and put her on the bed.
The woman groaned in pain, but as soon as she saw the concern in those devilishly handsome eyes, her lips automatically curved upwards in a satisfied smile.
"Are you okay?" Luther's voice gently sounded. He slowly wiped the blood off of her face and neck.
Su Lin silently nodded. She sucked in a few breaths of cold air and then slowly lifted her hand up. Even that small action looked very strained, but the woman was full of smiles.
Her palm opened up and revealed a total of six transparent Imperial jade rings of different sizes.
"Our special wedding rings." She mumbled quietly staring at the man's face in anticipation.
Su Lin smiled satisfactorily.
"It seems like you already know what these are for." She chuckled.
"You rest first. We can talk later."
Luther helped her adjust her sleeping position and laid next to her.
Several conflicting emotions flitted across his eyes as he gazed lovingly at the woman near him.
"Who is the hopeless romantic now, you idiot... Isn't the man supposed to bring the wedding rings..."
Luther murmured as he gently caressed her long silky hair sprawled on the pillow. She probably made him some sort of protective amulets in the name of wedding rings.
He couldn't help but feel guilty. In their relationship, he was always on the receiving end.
"mmm... I am not letting you off that easily. I need a gigantic diamond ring." The woman murmured half-asleep.
Luther's thin lips parted as he chuckled at his sweet little evil wifey. He pulled her into a tight embrace as the night slowly ticked away.
Thankfully, Su Lin's tiredness was only temporary as she woke up bright and early in the morning.
She immediately looked at Luther with her eyes full of excitement and anticipation, but the man unexpectedly glared at her in anger.
"Looks like you are feeling fine now." His devilishly handsome face was completely frosted in ice.
Su Lin innocently looked at him and blinked in confusion. Why is he angry?
It took her a few seconds to realize where she had gone wrong.
"Oh haha. I am sorry. I should have told you. I didn't gauge the impact properly and it might have gone a tad overboard yesterday." She immediately answered, with her nervous voice fluttering like a butterfly.
But the man didn't seem to budge.
Su Lin bit her lips in frustration, but her eyes twinkled. She instantly resorted to her ultimate weapon without any shame.
The mischievous girl leaped forwards and clung to Luther like a baby monkey. She buried her face into his chest and softly murmured. "I am sorry. Please forgive me."
Sigh... Luther couldn't help but be moved by the girl's repentant tone, though he knew that she probably was faking it.
"Just tell me what you are doing the next time." He ended up giving in and lovingly patted her head.
And immediately the repentant voice disappeared into nothingness...
Su Lin peeked out of her hiding place and excitedly grabbed the assortment of rings she had prepared for him.
"...." Luther was speechless.
Before he could even frown at this obviously fickle behavior, she quickly started accessorizing him.
Su Lin had prepared a total of six rings for him. These rings were in no way normal rings. In fact, they were epic grade rings that served multiple purposes.
Su Lin slipped two of the rings on his fingers, one on each hand.
She then pierced two of the rings into his ear, one on each ear and the last two were actually bracelets that she hurriedly slipped into his arms.
She then revealed a wide grin, as she took a step back and prepared to laugh at the tacky appearance of her beloved hubby.
But unfortunately...
The devilishly handsome man even pulled off this tacky appearance and looked like a powerful Emperor, adorned top to bottom in exquisite jade jewelry.
