A Tale of Chase and Love s1

In a secret underground basement, sat 4 people: Lan, Li Hua, Paul Reyes, and Clark Williams.

Paul was doing some research on his laptop while Clark pondered over the information he got from them.

“You two said my daughter is in your dimension called Luo Ye and is your mistress’ lookalike?” Clark asked in doubt. How is such a thing possible?

“Yes Sir!” Lan and Li Hua replied in unison.

“So… tell me, how did my daughter go there?”

“We really don’t know much but I think that my mistress uses a forbidden technique to summon your daughter. From our little knowledge, such technique results in the loss of life for the summoner if their cultivation is very low. Our mistress suffered a lot in the cold palace.” Lan explained.

“So your mistress is late?” Clark asked again.

“Yes. Sir, you don’t have to worry too much. Your daughter is safe. She has a very powerful spirit beast called Long Ren as her contracted pet. He’s popular in Luo Ye and goes by the title ‘Demon Fox Lord Long Ren’. He’s feared even by the emperor.” Li Hua explained.

“Your story seems true but what were you guys doing inside my child’s room?” Clark asked.

“It was an accident. We wanted to teleport to a nearby building. Who knew it would take us here?” said Lan with a sigh.

“I get it. Thieves sure have convincing manners!” Clark concluded with a nod.

“Sir, we are not thieves,” Li Hua defended. She was unable to take the insult.

“If you’re not thieves, what is your proof? Show me! You have none?” Paul asked, his eyes still on the laptop.

None of them made a move.

“This is my boss’ heiress’ life and death matter and you two dare make up stuff? How did you get into her room? Who sent you two? Don’t test my patience little girls!” an angry Paul thundered.

Immediately, an irritated Lan condensed a fireball and threw it at the laptop which immediately exploded; the impact sent Paul Reyes to the wall.

Li Hua too condensed a fireball and threw it at Paul but he managed to get up quickly and dodge it in time.

“Nice reflexes! See if you can keep doing it.” Lan commented before sending out extra two fireballs after Paul.

He dodged the first one easily but couldn’t dodge the other. It surrounded him and formed fire chains. Li Hua whistled and the chains began to tighten around Paul.

Seeing this, Clark believed they were telling the truth. If they were thieves, they would have gotten what they want without him finding them.

“Enough! I believe you now,” said Clark.

At that, both of them turned to look at Clark. The fire chains disappeared and Paul crashed to the ground; weak and gasping for breath.

Gosh! These two girls are no joke.

“Paul, go get yourself treated and announce that I have stopped the search for Theresa. Even if they find her body whether dead or alive, they shouldn’t bother to bring her.” Clark said to Paul.

“You two… I want to send you to China, you’ll work as cleaners in one of the companies we partnered with. Paul, get Jerry Mccartney to train them before they go there. You two, Lan and Li Hua, unless one threatens to kill you, you are not allowed to use your powers. This is not your world where you fight and kill each other every day. Behave yourselves! While working as part-time cleaners, you’ll also do some research on whether my daughter has any hopes of coming back.” said Clark.

“She might not come back at all but she might be able to find a way to communicate with you even if it takes long.” said Lan.

“Also please don’t go about wearing these clothes there. I’ll order someone to teach you our code of dressing here,” said Clark.

Both of them nodded and Lan rolled her eyes at Paul as if warning him not to underestimate them again.

*******

Luo Ye.

Theresa’s home.

Long Ren had dragged Fu Jin from his elder brother’s home where he had been drinking. Three days ago, he had a big fight inside the forbidden forest with Fu Tian his brother.

Han Liang has been placed into a casket. He couldn’t make it. He died while Fu Tian was trying to revive his cultivation.

Fu Tian and his brother became enemies for life.

Fu Tian revealed all his trump cards to avenge his beloved student but Fu Jin won the fight and in the end, he crippled Fu Tian’s cultivation because he had threatened to castrate him.

Now after being chased out by our cursed FL, he had gone to his brother’s old place drinking very strong wine and lamenting all his woes. Long Ren had taken him back to the house drunk and placed him on the bed in Ye Feng’s former room.

“You better sober up in time or I’ll kill you,” Ren said to him even though he knew he couldn’t hear anything he said. He then vanished.

His mistress is in the secluded room unconscious. On her forehead, a tattoo of a snake and a lotus had appeared.

“Mistress,” Ren muttered as he wiped off the sweat on her face with a towel. He sat on the bed beside her and sighed.

He then began to recall their first meeting. He had transferred internal energy into her to stabilize her. Though things became awkward afterward and they began scheming against each other.

From what he sees, he’s not really in a bad state just because he’s contracted to her. Both of them are proud beings who are unwilling to let their egos be injured.

“Mistress, if your true self does come back this time, I hope we can start all over again and not scheme against each other anymore. Mistress, I made a mistake. I was unwilling to understand what you were going through. I was indeed selfish. to ask you to dissolve the contract. I’ve given you harsh training in an impolite manner even though it was for your own good. I take advantage of the fact that you have no one to rely on and overstepped my boundaries many times. Maybe this is my karma that this curse came on you; bringing a hidden part out. Mistress…” Ren got off the bed and went down on his knees.

“Mistress, forgive me for any discomfort I caused you. I’m sorry. Mistress I know you cannot hear me now but I’ll say this. You were the only woman who could turn me on. You the 1st person I don’t have the heart to kill. You are the one who could make me feel shame for the first time in my life. You made me realize many times that one should not underestimate anybody. I’ve found my soulmate. She’s your sister, Mistress, Your Lu Wei. She’s also my enemy. But fate has it that, no matter what I do I can never kill her. I…” he couldn’t complete what he was saying when Fu Jin suddenly appeared on the other side of the bed carrying a cauldron which he slowly placed on the ground and applauded.

“You may now kiss the bride!” Fu Jin shouted happily.

“You!” Long Ren was embarrassed. He quickly rose up from the ground and put his hands behind his back.

“What a pity! The marriage will not happen,” Fu Jin complained.

“It’s good you are here. Cure my master now,” Ren ordered.

“Fox, I told you that the cure was simple. Just kiss your mistress.” said Fu Jin as he fiddled with his hair.

“I know it’s not as simple as that,” said Ren.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Fine! I’ll treat her but you still have to kiss her and when I say kiss, it must be done passionately, like… like… what should I compare it with? Like your making love to…” he couldn’t complete his words because Long Ren had cast a silencing spell on him.

“Old fart, do your job!” Long Ren warned using voice transmission technique.

“Fine!” Fu Jin replied, also using a voice transmission technique.

He touched Theresa’s forehead and then brought out a rectangular box from his spatial ring. He opened it and its contents were very long needles that were about 2 to 3 inches long. Long Ren stared at Fu Jin not understanding why he was bringing out those needles.

“I didn’t ask you to do acupuncture, old man!” Long Ren barked.

“If you want me to treat her, then be silent. Am I the reason this curse came about?” Fu Jin replied angrily using voice transmission.

“Old fart, don’t test my patience,” Ren barked.

“Fine!” Fu Jin sighed in defeat.

If he continued fighting with this fox, the auspicious hour to treat Theresa might be lost and he might fall into one of Long Ren’s crafty tricks.
