Chapter 49
Long Ren inspected the content after opening its lid and nodded with satisfaction.
“It’s still in good shape.” he commented before pouring its content which was a green, sticky substance into the pool water.
It did not take long for the fire atop the surface of the pool water to quench. Seeing this, Theresa was shocked and turned around to see a smiling Long Ren.
“Mistress, you never cease to amaze me. First, you opened 18 meridians and now you created another legend. You were born with supreme grade spiritual roots but now it has mutated and risen to the highest that even my ancestor couldn’t achieve- The Phoenix Roots. Congratulations mistress.” he praised as he bowed his head for a minute before returning to his former position.
He picked up the plate of strawberries and threw one into his mouth.
“These berries… I will never get tired of eating them. Too… delicious!” Long Ren thought.
Theresa, on the other hand, felt much relief when the water slowly went back to its normal state but it did not take long for her to flee from the pool due to its chilliness. Long Ren kicked her back into the water.
“Who said you could get out?” Ren asked.
“You…” Theresa pointed at him when she re-surfaced but couldn’t find any more words to say.
“You prayed earnestly in your heart for me to come to save you but still, you have to listen to what I say since you were unable to summon me. I came on my own accord and had to waste such a precious liquid given to me by my ancestors on you.” Ren complained while throwing some strawberries on her head.
Theresa was fuming but it was soon replaced by fear of the chilly water.
“Ren… let me come out.” she half ordered, half begged.
“Why? You were able to put up with fiery water; why not deal with water? It’s not like you’re gonna die if you stay in there for… another 2-3 hours.” Ren teased her.
Theresa did not like Ren’s attitude but then, what can she do? She sighed and tried to calm down.
“So, what do you want from me?” she asked in a hoarse voice.
“Now you’re talking!” he exclaimed.
Theresa shook her head in self-pity.
“I hope he doesn’t ask for contract breaking again.” she silently prayed.
“Mistress, we had had an agreement. Now that I’m the master, it’s only right that I call you disciple.” Ren stated.
“Yes, I agree” Theresa shouted, startling Ren for a second but then, he quickly recovered.
“So, my dear disciple, I want you to… go down and meditate for let’s see how long ” Ren took out a chair from his ring and sat. He put back some stray strands of hair that blocked his eyes back to their normal spot.
“You can go down now and it’s an order,” said Ren as he began munching on an apple he just picked out of his storage ring.
“Ok!” Theresa weakly agreed. She took a deep breath and plunged back into the water, sinking down.
A golden chain appeared around her waist tied to a very large rock which she was sure had never been in the pool. So that means the possibility of her going up to the surface is very low.
Damn, that evil Long Ren.
“Disciple, please sit like a buddha, hands on thighs.” she heard Long Ren instruct her telepathically.
“Ok,” she weakly replied back. She slowly sat on the freezing cold floor of the pool and crossed her legs. She then placed both hands on her laps.
“Close your eyes and free your thoughts.” Ren ordered her again. Theresa did as was told, forgetting the fact that she was underwater.
“Hold your breath deeper and relax,” she did as she was told and she managed to stay in that position for 5 minutes before opening her eyes.
The chain around her waist broke in two and fell off her waist. She immediately arose from the Buddha pose and swam towards the surface.
On surfacing, she saw Ren’s right hand inside his trousers and caressing his genitals. Theresa felt disgusted but she couldn’t say anything.
Ren opened his eyes and saw that Theresa had surfaced but he acted like he wasn’t doing anything wrong instead he wanted to even bring out his genitals when Theresa turned away.
“Disciple, what’s wrong? Why turn away? I’m a fox remember? What’s so shameful about exposing my shaft?” Long Ren asked with a pout.
“Long Ren…” she was interrupted by Long Ren.
“Disciple, you seem forgetful so early. I am your master and so as my only disciple, you should call me master,” said Ren.
“Long Ren, you want periods again?” she asked angrily.
“You can’t do anything to hurt… ow!”
The plate of strawberries on the left armrest suddenly fell off.
“OW! OUCH! IT HURTS! IT HURTS A LOT!” Long Ren cried.
He took out his shaft in haste from his trousers only to see his shaft stained with blood that was coming out from its tip. He felt horror!
“What’s going on?” Theresa turned back, confused at his shout.
Ren screamed and used his gown to cover his gem.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“Mistress, why did you turn back?” he asked. His face was flushed from anger, pain, and shame.
“What? It’s not like you ordered me not to turn back. I turned away of my own accord and turned back of my own accord.” said a smiling Theresa.
“Mistress… please… stop this… stop this… I… beg you,” Ren was also holding himself from scratching his privates.
Gosh! How embarrassing. Theresa chuckled and got out of the pool. Even though she felt weak, seeing Long Ren cry like this, it was all worth it.
“Mistress… please.. I-I’m ashamed to scratch,” he begged with puppy eyes. A tear even slid down his right eye.
Theresa walked to him with a smile.
“Call me mistress again,” she ordered.
“Mistress, mistress… please,” the gown that he wore had even been stained with blood.
“Take this as a warning. I free you.” she spoke with a small voice before sitting back on the cold floor since her legs were weak.
“Mistress, you’ll officially start cultivating in the evening. Be prepared. Long Ren finally said before disappearing along with everything he brought to the pool room.
Theresa shook her head and lay on the cold floor.
That’s right! She needs more tampering to be able to harden her heart or else she’ll never be able to deal with Han Fei Fei’s enemies.
While she was lost in thought, Lu Wei and Ye Feng who had just awoken and left their respective rooms entered the pool room worried for Theresa.
Seeing them, Theresa smiled closed her eyes and fainted.
