Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2154

Over in a beautiful underground palace, the woman looked at Adam. "You're far too reckless, Adam. You're going to stay put in this palace from now on. At least, you're not going anywhere before that cultivator leaves."

"Why should I?"

Adam glowered at his mother. "I just killed a few mortals! They're no more than lowly animals to me! Why aren't you on my side?"

The woman stared at Adam. "I know you're all grown up now, Adam. You're not a kid anymore, and I'm sure you understand the universe has its rules. This planet Earth we're on is just a lower dimension. We might be the most powerful presence here, but the universe will punish us if we make mistakes."

"It's so unfair! Why can those cultivators get away with killing people, but we get punished for it?"

"It's more than fair. You and I got our powers naturally by absorbing them from nature, not through great efforts spent on cultivation. We are blessed by time and space to be the shadows of the axis on which the universe turns. That makes us different from regular cultivators, and thus we cannot just kill people as we please."

"Shadows of the universe's axis? Ha!"

Adam scoffed. "So what? I could kill all the people of Anderson Town if I wanted to! What are you going to do about it? You're too weak and cowardly, Mother. I'm going to kill Wilbur Penn, and you'll finally see how strong I am."

"You stay right there!"

Adam turned to leave without another word, but the woman took out a black cube that she hurled at Adam. The magic cube trapped Adam inside it at once, and he could not escape no matter how much he struggled.

"Mother! Mother, let me out!"

"You're still too young, Adam. There are some things you don't understand yet. I hope you can use the next few days to reflect on your actions in the cube."

The flame struck the cube, filling it instantly with rampant spiritual energy. Within just a dozen seconds, the cube had dissipated into nothingness as Adam stepped out of its confines.

Three days later, Wilbur opened his eyes to the sight of the woman's face on the wall of the cave. "It's been three days. Do you have an answer?"

"I've disciplined Adam, and he's promised me that he'll never hurt the people of Anderson Town in the future. I think we can call an end to the misunderstanding between the both of you now."

"A misunderstanding, huh?" Wilbur snorted. "I would hope a misunderstanding like that doesn't happen again."

"It won't, Mister Penn. I promise you something like this will never happen again."

"That's great, then. I hope you keep your word."
