A Tale of Chase and Love s1

On getting there, they were stunned to see Long Ren, Fu Jin, Ju Wei and Bai Lu Chen tied up in their very seats. It was also clear that old man Long sealed their voices.

Clark asked in confusion.

“What’s going on here?”

“We are having a family meeting,” replied old man Long as he removed the seal he’d placed on them earlier.

Aarti asked her husband what was said and when he translated it to German for her, she chuckled.

“I’ve never seen such a spectacular family meeting before,” she commented in amusement.

“Mistress’ mother, you are so pretty. You deserve my great respect.” Bai Lu Chen started his fawning, causing Long Ren to feel anxious.

“Mistress mother is a fairy that no one can compare to. Her words are like prayers of blessings to the hearer.” said Long Ren and Theresa chuckled.

“Have you two blockheads forgotten that my mum… can’t hear what you’re saying?”

That was like an arrow straight into the heart!

Bai Lu Chen and Long Ren were embarrassed but didn’t let it show. Instead they started cursing each other telepathically.

“Theresa?” Aarti called out in a whisper.

“Yes mum?”

“Why are they staring at each other like that?”

“I forgot to tell you. Cultivators here are capable of telepathy when they reach a certain level.” she explained and Aarti nodded.

“Can you please untie them sir?” Clark requested and old Long sighed in defeat.

“Fine!” he then mumbled some strange words and the ropes disappeared.

Clark wasn’t too shocked but Aarti and Marabelle were.

“Theresa, does that Sir accept disciples?” Marabelle asked eagerly.

Theresa didn’t understand what happened to Marabelle today. What medicine was she fed?This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“No. He isn’t and I won’t let you be his disciple even if he does,”

What a joke! How would she deliver her sheep-like friend into this man’s hands. Not happening!

“Oh!” Marabelle was disappointed but she soon cheered up.

“Theresa, we should have a party. A reunion party!” but then her mood dropped.

“What’s wrong my dear?” Aarti had noticed Marabelle’s dropping mood and sought to know the reason.

“We aren’t on earth; so there will be no DJ or party music.” said Marabelle with a sigh.

“Bai Lu Chen, can you sing?” Theresa asked.

“Yes mistress!” Bai Lu Chen stood up immediately.

“Ju Wei, can you dance?” she asked again.

Immediately, Ju Wei stood up and answered.

“Yes! I can dance really well.”

Theresa nodded. This was good enough.

“Foster father, can you play the flute?” she asked hopefully.

“Yes!” Fu Jin answered excitedly.

“Grandpa Long… er…”

“I can play the Guqin!” old man Long answered quickly.

“That’s very good. Dad can play the Big drum, Mom can play the pipa too, Marabelle can play the harp. Long Ren?”

He immediately jumped to his feet. He was waiting for this moment to prove his sincerity and worth.

“I can play the chimes really well.” he advertised but his excitement was dampened in the next moment.

“No, you are responsible for our food. Make sure you put your heart into it. We’ll have the party in the secluded room in the evening. For now, I want to show my parents and Marabelle, my bestfriend, the world here after we’ve taken care of our morning routines.” said Theresa.

“Yeah!” Fu Jin shouted.

“Theresa, where is the bathroom?” Clark asked.

“Ju Wei, please, show my dad the bathroom.” commanded Theresa but Clark immediately refused.

What a joke! There’s no way he’d allow it. Besides this guy was a….

“Oh, I know I’m a cutsleeve but I don’t like you; so I won’t touch you. But I have to say you have a nice butt.” said Ju Wei with a carefree attitude.

“Long Ren, before cooking be sure to deal with him. Bai Lu Chen, you take the task. You are responsible for their baths and clothing. Marabelle and I will be alone in the swimming pool.” Theresa had decided.

“There’s a swimming pool?” Clark furrowed his eyebrows.

“Dad, that pool is dangerous to you and mum. Besides, Marabelle and I are not going there to swim. Girls talk, you know?” Theresa explained.

“Hey you two!” Aarti pointed at Clark and Theresa. “You do realize that I can’t hear Chinese, right? Tell me what you guys said just now.”

“It’s a secret!” Clark said before lifting Aarti up and placing her over his shoulders. She blushed in shame.

“Hey, old man put me down. Put me down. This is so embarrassing! Put me down old man,” she cried out in complaint.

“Oh, if I’m old, then, you must be my sugar mommy.” Clark teased her as Bai Lu Chen led them away.

“My daughter, I feel jealous. If only I could get you a foster mother,” Fu Jin pitied himself but Theresa only chuckled.

“Actually foster mum Ye Feng would…”

“Hehe… I suddenly recall that I have something vital pending. Let me go check on it quickly.” with those words, Fu Jin vanished.

“What a dad!” Theresa thought and turned to face old man Long and slightly bowed her head before turning to leave with Marabelle for the pool.

Long Ren immediately took out a whip different from that dragon bone whip. His eyes turned purple and his aura was terrifying, making old man Long nod in agreement.

“Now that’s my grandson.” he muttered under his breath and vanished. He was gone this time; heading to his home to rest and bicker with Fu Jin later.

That evening, after Theresa and her parents, together with Marabelle and Bai Lu Chen returned from shopping and exploring this ancient world and eating at a restaurant, everyone gathered at the secluded room dressed to their very best.

Aarti wore a red and black hanfu with a purple scarf and purple shoes, Marabelle dressed in pink, Clark in green, Long Ren and Ju Wei both wore light blue clothing, Long Hua Ming and Fu Jin wore white robes and Theresa wore black and purple robes with a pink scarf. In her hair was a golden hairpin. The three females in the group were looking beautiful and earned praises from the males.

Today, Theresa had the face of a seductress. Her mother had a gentle face and Marabelle had a wild princess face.

All sat on the chairs which had been provided by Long Hua MIng, elegantly with an unknown but refreshing incense to accompany them.

Aarti, Clark and Marabelle sat close to each other, mostly because he was the only one that could translate to them. When it was time for the party to start, Theresa rose.

“Welcome everybody! It’s a delight to have you all here tonight. We are here for the party that serves as both a reunion and merry time. I hope we’ll all do our best to make this party an unforgettable one. The party officially begins. First, let there be a competition in music to liven things up. The one who wins gets to see us three females dance and then there will be poetry, chess and an extra dancing competition. Finally, to soothe our nerves, we will be well fed by our Long Ren. I bet the food must be delicious,” Theresa said while eyeing a nervous Long Ren.

“Alright, who wanna go first?” Ju Wei asked and Fu Jin volunteered.

After bickering with Long Hua Ming at his house, both had gotten ready and returned 30 minutes before the party to decorate everywhere and set up lamps to illuminate the room. The room was then made cooler by Long Ren.

Fu Jin stood up from his seat and walked to the mini stage with a Dizi flute and played ‘Song of the four seasons’. It seemed crude at first, but slowly it became wild and later refreshing.
