A Tale of Chase and Love s1

“Just sing Jiejie, I want to hear your singing voice,” said Lu Wei as she sat on the wooden bed.

“Long Ren, go sit with Lu Wei.” Theresa ordered him telepathically.

Long Ren didn’t want to obey but he had to. The real side of mistress needs to return now. This new side of his mistress is too cruel. Too scary. If his real mistress side could come back, he’d treat her well and not make her cry again.

Long Ren dragged himself to the wooden bed and wanted to sit on the bed but Theresa told him to sit on the floor and then told Lu Wei to put her legs on Long Ren’s shoulders.

Hearing this, Lu Wei was a bit scared but somehow, without waiting for Theresa to persuade her, she obeyed Theresa’s order.

“This is so great. Who’d believe that one day, a low cultivator like me would have this honor? Even if I lose my head, I’ll be satisfied.” Lu Wei thought excitedly.

“Ahem…” when Theresa saw that all was set, she began to sing a song she had written as a gift to her mum at age 12.

♫ The struggle of life’s not easy. On our journey we meet so many obstacles… ♫

Lu Wei’s eyes shone upon hearing Theresa’s singing voice.

“Jiejie, you’re the best” she muttered but only Long Ren could hear it.

♫It’s like a milestone were tied to our neck♫

♫ And we’re pitched into the sea of troubles. ♫

♫ Life never easy but don’t give up. ♫

♫ Just keep trying your best in life. ♫

~~~~~~

Long Ren really couldn’t take it anymore. This humiliation is the worst.

A mere human dared take his precious shoulders as a footstool and his mistress ordered it. He prayed hard that mistress true side returns back quickly.

When Theresa was done singing the 3rd song, Lu Wei put her feet down and stood up from the wooden bed.

Unknown to her, she had stepped on Long Ren’s right fingers making him hiss in pain. To make things worse, Lu Wei decided to show a military salute stamping her right leg on Ren’s poor fingers. He immediately yelled due to pain and anger.

“I can’t take it anymore. It’s too much.” he shouted as he flung Lu Wei to a corner of the room with his left hand.

Theresa’s eyes turned quickly to red color which stunned Long Ren.

“What’s going on?” he thought in puzzlement.

Theresa slowly walked to him, her hair and clothes fluttered even though there was no wind blowing. Ren hid his wounded fingers from her view and bowed his head.

“How dare you?” she barked, sending several chills down Long Ren’s spine.

“Mistress… she stepped on my fingers.” explained Ren.

“Good! Well done! You dared fling my Meimei like a piece of trash. Very good.” Theresa said in a low voice.

“Mistress… I really didn’t mean to do that. I was just…” Ren stammered in the process of trying to explain further to his mistress but he was cut off by her.

“Kneel!” she ordered.

Long Ren though unwilling to obey, went into the kneeling position.

“Look at Lu Wei.” Theresa ordered.

Ren looked at her and saw that she was trying hard not to faint or cry from the pain she was feeling all over her body.

“You are so merciless,” Theresa spat.

“Mistress…” Long Ren couldn’t complete his sentence because he was cut off by a slap from Theresa on his right cheek.

“Mistress… mistress?” Long Ren brought his right hand to his cheek and turned teary-eyed.

“Mistress… why… why did you… slap me? Why?” he asked in a whisper. A tear slid down his red cheek and dropped to the floor forming a pearl.

“Mistress, I know that I’ve been rude to you. I wasn’t willing to accept you as my mistress completely. It’s because of me that you’re in this state. I’m sorry.” Ren cried as he hugged Theresa’s left leg.

“Mistress, please come back. I promise that I’d treat you well.” Ren whispered weakly.

Theresa heartlessly freed her leg from his grasp and kicked him in the gut. He immediately vomited blood and had a nosebleed.

“Hurry up and treat yourself. I’ll give you a breather for now.” said Theresa as she walked to the spot where Lu Wei was lying unconscious.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Theresa picked her up bridal style and took one last look at Long Ren before leaving the secluded room. The moment Long Ren saw that they were gone, he wiped off the blood that stained his mouth and chin.

“Finally, some time to rest,” he thought with a sigh.

He rose up from the floor and white light covered him from head to toe.

After 9 seconds passed, the light dimmed to reveal Long Ren now dressed in a prostitute’s clothes.

He took out a luxurious bed from his spatial ring and a tray containing apples.

“Time for enjoyment!” he exclaimed after sealing the secluded room to make sure his mistress doesn’t catch him red-handed.

“Because of that Lu Wei, I was utterly disgraced. Lu Wei, mark my words, if I don’t crush you to powder, then I’m not Long Ren.” he swore while eating an apple.

“As for you mistress, just you wait. When you eventually come back, I will skin you alive for all the suffering and humiliation I had to go through in your hands.”

Theresa took Lu Wei to her room and laid her gently on the bed. She then caressed Lu Wei’s face with a sigh.

“I’m sorry that you got involved in my matters. I promise to breathe vengeance on Long Ren for you, my dear sister. Just wait a bit okay?” she whispered before leaving Lu Wei’s room.

She headed for the living room but on her way she could hear sounds of quarreling. So she hastened her walking pace and got to see that her new father, Fu Jin and mother, Ye Feng were only an inch away from using their auras as last resort to fight.

On the floor, lay a dozen dumplings that had been stamped on by someone. Now, these dumplings look miserable to behold. Theresa looked at both of them who were still quarreling intensely.

“Fu Jin, your whole family are devils!”

“Really? Then your ancestors were prostitutes!” Fu Jin cursed.

“What did you say?” Ye Feng asked loudly, her chest heaving up and down.

“I said, your whole family sucked milk from the breasts of a goat.”

“How dare you? You bastard!” Ye Feng cursed as her hands clenched into fists.

“You’ve called me that seven times already. Don’t you have any other words in your vocabulary? You are even illiterate and foolish. I clearly praised you just now but you keep refusing it. You even called me names. Let me tell you… sit down first.” Fu Jin ordered Ye Feng, pointing at a chair not far from Ye Feng.

“Why should I? Are you my husband? The woman who gets married to you is cursed by a thousand demons.” Ye Feng yelled.

“I’m a cut sleeve,” said Fu Jin, stunning Theresa and Ye Feng.

“So you’re a cut sleeve? What then are you doing around my child?” Ye Feng asked.

“Which of the children? The ones you birthed or the pretty slim girl or is it my goddess of beauty?” Fu Jin asked.

“Cut the crap. You must give me some medicine since you stole my dumplings. It’s only fair.” Ye Feng shouted.

Hearing this, Theresa’s gasped in shock.

“So those dumplings… belonged to mother?” Theresa asked as she walked to them.

Fu Jin was stunned at her sudden appearance. Gosh! He’s been caught red-handed!

What to do? Flee the scene? That was easy but was it the best option? Fu Jin tried to think of a way to escape from her judgment but he couldn’t find any.

“You… I reject you as my father. A father who steals and passes the stolen thing as his belonging is worth lynching.” Theresa said before walking to Ye Feng whose heart was in turmoil.

“My child!” Ye Feng said in a low tone of voice.

“It’s not what you think. I didn’t destroy those dumplings.” Ye Feng added.

Theresa smiled at her mother.

“You will always be my mother here in Luo Ye but if I leave, you cease to be my mother. If I return, you are my mother.” Theresa said as she stared at the dumplings.

She loved dumplings so much. Who knew that she’d see them heartlessly destroyed and the cause of it is quarreling with her mother who also cursed.

“Fu Jin, what was the praise you were giving my mother earlier?” Theresa asked with folded arms.

Fu Jin was very unhappy. He was able to get such a high position in Theresa’s heart but who knew that he’d be rejected in less than 2 hours? Life truly is unpredictable!

“I said that her family… sucked the breasts of a goat.” Fu Jin stammered.

“So… tell me Fu Jin, how is that a praise? If you can convince me, then I might accept you as my bodyguard.” Theresa said as she sat on a chair and crossed her legs.

“I think something is wrong with my child. She isn’t like this. What did Long Ren do to her? Why does she have this scary aura?” Ye Feng thought.

“Mother… please go check on Meimei. She’s severely injured.” Theresa said before focusing her attention on Fu Jin who had begun to scratch his head thinking of a good way to convince Theresa.

Ye Feng did not waste time as she immediately vanished from the living room. Her other daughter was injured? She had to go pamper her quickly!
