The CEO's loser wife: Rebirth of the villainous queen of alchemy

Just what the hell is happening here? Hazel was going livid with anger.

Ella, however, quickly recovered. She decisively made a move and stopped Hazel from saying anything more.

"Thanks for sharing the elixir, child. We will be making a move now. Please do come for dinner."

She smiled and forcefully pulled the sullen young girl away.

And Hazel as well unexpectedly quieted down.

She knew very well that her mother could sometimes be extremely scary and didn't dare to act spoilt at those times.

She silently followed her mother, turning back and grimacing at the group once or twice, and eyeing the woman who was still eating another fruit!

Squirrel and the rest couldn't care less about these trivial shenanigans and quickly went back to practising the technique which Su Lin had imparted to them.

Only low-tier spirit herbs could be grown like this with a handful of soil in the hand and circulating spiritual qi.

Truly high-tier spirit herbs require proper planting, nourishment and a more intricate spirit herb cultivation technique.

These take about a week or so to mature and ripen and these were what Su Lin required to ensure the safety of the child.

So everyone made themselves busy and started working without wasting time.

They divided the huge land area around the villa into various plots, and split the labor among themselves to maintain and grow spirit herbs on their respective plots.

Once everyone left, Luther hung back and looked at Su Lin with mixed emotions on his face.

The usually playful ruffian looked a bit pained. "Why are you being so nice to my family, love?"

"Because they look like you. Ha Ha." Su Lin smiled innocently and popped another fruit in her mouth.

"I don't trust them yet." Luther replied seriously, stressing that he was not joking in the least.

"I don't trust them and I don't want them getting any stronger than they already are."

"We are just barely a dozen, while they are numerous, maybe hundreds or even thousands."

"We maybe more stronger than them now, but it is only natural for things to change and considering the political situations in a big family like this… sigh… my head is spinning…"

"I really don't trust them at all." Luther shook his head.

Su Lin chuckled. "Don't I know it."

She pulled the man wearing a long face closer to her and planted a kiss on his cheeks.

"Don't worry. These will utmost just strengthen their basic body constitutions."

"As far as the real deal is concerned, I won't give away any freebies without your consent."

"Now go work hard, so that I can stare at you. Cough. Cough. I mean… please work hard for our child."

Su Lin pushed away the guy giving her weird looks and sat down leisurely, popping another fruit into her mouth.

"Such a slave driver!"

"Hush!"

While these two husband and wife pair bickered, another duo as well bickered.

"Mom! What the hell?!" Hazel harrumphed.

"Why are you always shutting me down? What did I say wrong?"

"Brother is the uncrowned King of this world!"

"How on earth could he possibly be with a no named mortal like that?"

"Are you seriously going to let this continue?"

"Mom!"

"Mom!"

"Why are you silent?"

Ella sighed. This youngest child of hers lacked several things. She was too honest and straightforward for her own good.

It was one thing to be kind and straightforward but it was an entirely different thing to be spoilt and straightforward.

"Do you have to talk about everything on the first day they arrived?"

"Tell me, Hazel. Aren't you happy to see your brother back?"

"If you continue acting in this manner, do you think he will stay with us for long?"

"But mom…" Hazel retorted.

"Shush. Think it over and then talk to me." Ella patted her.

"Don't ever behave like how you acted today. It's not good for anyone."

Ella glanced at her daughter and then proceeded to walk further up ahead.

Hazel absent-mindedly stared at her mother's back. She was not allowed to enter that area, so she didn't continue to follow her mother.

Hazel's eyes slightly reddened and she begrudgingly walked back to their main family house.

She was already used to this cold third degree attitude from her mother.

But she couldn't help but wonder if her mom would ever change… now that her brother was back…

While Hazel went back to the main Augustin villa, Ella walked further into the mountainous slope.

As she walked deeper and deeper, dense fog covered the landscape and the forests through thicker and thicker.

The spiritual qi here was even more thicker than the spiritual qi in other places, including Luther's villa and the other head family villas.

As she went deeper and deeper, she suddenly disappeared without any trace.

Ella then instantaneously appeared in an entirely different place.

The fog around her was thicker and the spiritual qi was even denser. She sucked in a breath of cold air.

Ella was now in a small cave behind a humungous waterfall.

The cave was several meters long and extended as if it had no end in sight.

However, Ella did not go inside the cave.

She merely stood at the entrance and wordlessly waited for a while.

After several minutes, an elderly man walked out of the cave.

His facial features looked extremely similar to Luther's just like the rest of the family.

His skin was wrinkled, his hair was a shimmering silver and his back was slightly curved.

But the man's eyes had an unfathomable gleam within them, as if he was merely a twenty year old youngster.

Ella instantly bowed her head in respect. "Greetings, Master."

She didn't raise her head up again until the elder cleared his throat.

"My son has returned." She respectfully informed him.

The elder did not say anything in return. He merely nodded his head.

Ella again bowed her head and silently returned.

But the elder did not have the smile which Ella had on her face.

Instead, he had a pained solemn expression.

"Destiny cannot be trifled with it seems." The elder shook his head and disappeared back into the cave.
