Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 741: The Fate Star That Breaks the Stalemate

Sterling Norwood heard her words, and the look in his eyes deepened slightly.

"No, it won’t."

Sterling’s tone was somewhat light, as if making a promise.

He looked at Selena Kensington, whose hand was tightly clutching the blanket so hard that veins began to stand out on her hand.

Sterling came over.

He slowly freed Selena’s hand from the grip on the blanket.

"Don’t worry, there won’t be any more fainting spells."

Sterling’s words were gentle, with a soothing tone.

Even his gaze was so tender, making one irresistibly captivated by his vast blue star sea.

Listening to Sterling’s calm, deep voice, Selena’s mood gradually relaxed.

"Mm."

She responded softly.

Sterling gently touched her hair, "Sleep now."

Under his gaze, Selena slowly closed her eyes.

Sterling remained by the bedside until he sensed Selena’s breathing becoming gentle, and then he rose and quietly left the bedroom.

After Sterling left the bedroom, the tender expression that could leave one submerged gradually faded away.

Leaving only a cold indifference of pride.

And Selena, who had fallen asleep, did not enter into dreams, but once again arrived in that long-missed space.

Esther Jennings still stood silently in front of her.

"Aunt."

Selena called out once and then sat down before Esther Jennings.

She too remained silent.

Esther Jennings looked at Selena calmly and suddenly spoke, "Your heart is in turmoil."

"..."

Selena was startled and suddenly looked up.

This was the first time Esther Jennings had proactively spoken to her, and it was about a topic unrelated to the Clan of Celestial Masters.

This left Selena unsure whether to be pleasantly surprised or confused.

"Aunt, did you notice too?"

Esther Jennings resided in her mind, so she could sense Selena’s chaotic thoughts; thus, Selena wasn’t much surprised.

Esther Jennings came over.

"You should calm down and make the decision you believe is the most correct."

Esther Jennings spoke quietly, her words carrying a magic power that made one involuntarily believe, allowing Selena’s heart to indeed calm considerably.

"What if my decision might hurt those around me?"

In Esther Jennings’ presence, Selena found herself utterly relaxed.

Because she knew, this was her elder and her Guardian Spirit.

She could ask for advice like a younger generation asking an elder.

Esther Jennings’ expression remained unchanged, but Selena always felt that there was a hint of warmth in Esther Jennings’ gaze.

This was due to Selena continuously nourishing her with her Heavenly Master Power all this time.

As long as her Heavenly Master Power continues to nurture Esther Jennings, Esther Jennings would become increasingly real.

Even possibly appear in the real world, instead of only existing in her mind.

"Do you think your decision is correct?"

Esther Jennings repeated her words again.

"..."

Selena was momentarily stunned and then fell silent.

"I don’t know."

She answered truthfully.

She didn’t even know what decision her heart was making.

But she knew, she couldn’t sit idly by.

She wouldn’t want to see Sterling walk the old path of those from the Luminar Clan.

"Aunt, can my Heavenly Master Power save him?"

Selena asked.

Although she didn’t tell Esther Jennings about Sterling, she had an inexplicable feeling that Esther Jennings must know about it.

Indeed, after Selena asked for the answer, a faint, obvious look of surprise appeared on Esther Jennings’ face.

This was the second time today that Selena saw such a real expression on Esther Jennings’ face, as if Esther Jennings had come alive again.

But it was just her illusion.

Esther Jennings, now just a trace of a Spiritual Body in her mind.

Indeed, that look of surprise lasted only a moment before Esther Jennings returned to that ethereal state. "Do you want to save him?"

She seemed to murmur a question.

Selena felt strange about Esther Jennings’ state but still nodded, "Mm, I must save him!"

Whether it was an illusion or not, after Selena said this, Esther Jennings’ gaze, besides calmness and tenderness, seemed to contain deep hidden sorrow.

Sorrow?

Selena was startled by the sudden emergence of this word in her mind.

Why would Esther Jennings be sorrowful?

Wait!

Selena frowned slightly.

If she remembered correctly, Esther Jennings seemed to be from the same era as the offspring of the Luminar Clan.

And both of their times of death were quite close...

Both died young at around twenty years of age.

But Selena didn’t know the exact time of their deaths.

Such ancient events, even those involved back then, don’t remember clearly.

As Selena’s thoughts dispersed, Esther Jennings spoke again, interrupting her thoughts.

"If it’s you, perhaps you can. You are the destiny star capable of breaking all these stalemates..."

Esther Jennings’ voice drifted with distant contentment, as if containing countless emotions.

Selena’s thoughts returned because of Esther Jennings’ words, "Stalemates? You mean the stalemate between Fell Beast descendants and the Clan of Celestial Masters?"

Esther Jennings nodded slightly, "Mm."

"However, I advise you not to use your Heavenly Master Power on your husband."

Selena frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

"Your Heavenly Master Power is like poison to the descendants of Fell Bloodlines, but it’s only to those impure, berserk Fell Bloodline descendants. In front of the true Beast Lord’s bloodlines, your power is insignificant."

Although Esther Jennings’ words were harsh, they were undeniably true.

Since ancient times, the Clan of Celestial Masters has used Heavenly Master Power to combat Fell Beasts.

Although after The Ancient Wilds’ era passed, Heavenly Master Power gradually weakened, and the Clan of Celestial Masters declined.

The power of Heavenly Master Power would not change.

They still possessed deterrence over Fell Bloodline descendants.

Listening to Esther Jennings’ words, Selena paused and then understood the meaning behind Esther Jennings’ words.

She was warning her not to think her Heavenly Master Power would aid Sterling.

Conversely, it could harm him, even incite more brutality.

"Does that mean I can’t do anything?"

Selena seemed to murmur in confusion.

Then she raised her head and looked at Esther Jennings fixedly.

Esther Jennings wouldn’t have said these things to her without reason; surely, she has some way.

Esther Jennings smiled faintly, and she looked back at Selena, "You’ve already made your judgment in your heart, haven’t you?"

"!..."

Selena was shocked.

Esther Jennings actually probed her inner thoughts?!
