Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 454: The Beast Lord Arrives

"If The Beast Lord indeed considers Selie as his wife, then he won’t act against us."

Because Mount Nimbus, the Celestial Vein, still requires the protection of the Sutton Family.

And now, with Selena Kensington within the Celestial Vein, Sterling Norwood is even less likely to make a move.

Upon hearing Dean Sutton’s words, Sarah Sutton forced herself to calm down.

The Sutton Family’s fear of The Beast Lord is ingrained in their blood and bones.

During the end of the Ancient Wilds, The Beast Lord, in his wrath, united various Great Demons to retaliate against humanity.

Among them, the calamity suffered by Mount Nimbus within The Celestial Sanctum was the most severe.

With a single roar, The Beast Lord, stirring his steel-like wings, could shatter the entire mountain with his voice.

The memory of that event was particularly vivid for the Sutton Family, that sense of fear infused in their blood, along with warnings passed down to future generations, ensuring the Sutton Family’s enduring awe and dread of The Beast Lord.

Another day passed, Selena Kensington suddenly opened her tightly shut eyes.

Golden glimmers floated around her, and upon her awakening, they surged into her body.

Selena felt as though her body was no longer her own, stiff to an extreme degree.

Even if she wanted to slightly stretch her muscles, she had to move cautiously.

Selena’s awakening caught Timothy Jennings’ attention.

He hurriedly placed his ancient book aside and quickly approached Selena. "You’re awake, do you feel anything different?"

Upon hearing Timothy’s words, Selena slightly tilted her head.

She looked towards Timothy, a smile slowly gracing her lips.

"Brother Timothy, I’m a little hungry."

The smile was pure, yet carried a trace of indescribable meaning.

Timothy was momentarily stunned.

He saw clearly as Selena uttered those words; a faint gold hue flashed in her eyes.

Moreover, his most direct feeling was the aura around Selena.

Previously perhaps weak, scattered.

Now it seemed completely gathered, giving her a slight air of dominance.

At this moment, Selena seemed to have withdrawn all outward expressions, becoming restrained, mysterious.

Standing there, she resembled a world-class lotus proudly blooming atop a snow-topped peak, cold and noble.

Yet, she also resembled a red rose climbing out from thorns, resilient and fierce.

This version of Selena closely matched the female Heavenly Master’s image described in Timothy’s ancient texts.

It seems she has fully accepted the Heavenly Master Bloodline within her.

Furthermore, she bore the protective aura of The Beast Lord, making her even stronger.

Timothy’s mind was overflowing with thoughts, and upon hearing Selena say she was hungry, he remembered she seemed not to have eaten for three days.

Quickly, he handed her a pack of compressed biscuits nearby.

"There’s only this in the chamber, manage with it for now."

Previously, Selena had been immersed in her cultivation without showing signs of waking.

Timothy had, meanwhile, left to retrieve a pile of compressed biscuits ensuring he could attentively watch over Selena.

Selena nodded slightly, took the compressed biscuits, and began eating.

Having awakened from cultivation, Selena was already feeling quite hungry.

Although she had soothed the bloodline within her entirely, she could only vaguely sense herself as different from ordinary people, not feeling much else.

While eating, Selena asked Timothy, "Brother, how long did I sleep?"

"Three days."

The moment Timothy’s words fell, Selena startled and quickly rose from the bed.

Yet due to her stiff legs and feet, she nearly fell off the stone bed.

"Careful!"

Timothy hurriedly supported her.

Selena, however, couldn’t bother with this. "How did I sleep for so long?!"

She was immersed in cultivation, unaware of the passage of time.

Thinking it had been a few hours at most, she hadn’t expected it to be three days!

Who knows how Lea Dutton and Hope Norwood fared without finding her?

And Sterling Norwood... Hope would report to Sterling if she couldn’t find Selena. That guy might impulsively...

Seeing the urgency and anxiety in her eyes, Timothy quickly helped her gather things.

"Selie, what’s wrong? Why such urgency?"

Selena explained hurriedly, "Before coming, I told my assistant and protector that if I didn’t return within a day, they should come find me. I don’t know what the situation is now..."

Upon hearing Selena’s explanation, Timothy realized that Selena was now a director.

Her absence from the crew for three days might have already caused panic within the production.

"Then let’s hurry!"

Thereafter, Selena and Timothy hastily left the Celestial Vein.

Meanwhile, in front of the Sutton Family’s wooden cabin, the atmosphere was extraordinarily tense.

Dean Sutton and Sarah Sutton stood before the cabin, opposite Sterling Norwood, and the twin brothers, along with Hope Norwood.

Beside the groups stood Lea Dutton, her face filled with anxiety.

By noon, Sterling Norwood led the twins through the forest to arrive at the cabin.

The three bore no traces of injuries.

Sarah Sutton, tending the garden, widened her eyes.

How did they get in?!

Did Gan Xuehua’s confusing effect not work, or were the traps on the path rendered useless?!

The overwhelming aura and intense pressure surging towards her.

Sarah instantly identified the three’s identities, ignoring everything else, she quickly rushed back into the cabin.

Soon after, Dean Sutton appeared.

"Honorable Beast Lord."

Upon Dean’s appearance, he respectfully addressed Sterling.

Sarah’s astonished gaze fell upon Dean Sutton.

Sterling’s gaze focused directly on Dean Sutton, his eyes filled with indifference and dead silence. "Where is she?"

Dean suddenly felt another layer of pressure from Sterling.

Internally shocked, he marveled at how powerful this generation’s Beast Lord had become...

Ignoring the influence of Mount Nimbus, yet effortlessly locating the Sutton Family’s position.

The intense pressure emanating from him made Dean briefly envisage the majestic and domineering Lord of the Vicious Beasts.

"Selie is still within the Celestial Vein."

Despite Sterling’s oppressive aura, Dean spoke under enormous pressure.

Hearing Dean’s words, Sterling’s eyes narrowed slightly.

A bizarre shade of red glimmered in his eyes, appearing eerie and strange.

Hope Norwood added, "Madam has been there for three days."

Sterling suddenly let out a cold snort. "Three days."

Instantly, his aura transformed into a cold, murderous intensity.

As if the next moment, he might strike.

The Sutton Family hid their breaths, afraid Sterling might lash out in fury.

In the midst of the heavy, oppressive atmosphere on site, Selena’s soft voice emerged. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"A Sterling."
