A Tale of Chase and Love s1

The trio took their seats at different places and nodded at each other. Each of them had a musical instrument that they were good at and after the three ladies on stage finished dancing, they applauded them and asked to get back on stage.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Party spoilers! Not happening!” Marabelle said unhappily.

“Em… we’re deeply are sorry for what we did earlier; so we prepared this performance as an apology to you all. We aren’t really bad singers, so please give us one more chance,” said Bai Lu Chen.

“Pei! Liar! You sound worse than demons.” Marabelle spat.

“Actually, we trio are demons.”Ju Wei rebutted.

“You…” Marabelle was made speechless.

“It’s just that we haven’t sung in a long time. So let’s be allowed to try one more time.” Bai Lu Chen pleaded.

“Now I really miss my headphones.” Marabelle muttered under her breath.

“Okay!” Clark agreed.

“Uncle!” Marabelle whined in German.

“Little girl, let’s give them a second chance, alright?” Clark pacified Marabelle.

“Hmph!” she sat with folded arms and crossed legs.

“You can perform but if it isn’t good, you’ll be thrashed.” warned Fu Jin.

“Yes,” the trio replied, then brought out their various instruments and nodded to each other with a smile.

Bai Lu Chen was holding a Gu Zheng, Long Ren had the chimes and Ju Wei had the Pipa.

“You can play the Pipa?” Aarti asked but this time, she had spoken Chinese.

“Aarti, you can speak the language now?” Clark asked in shock.

One Marabelle suddenly speaking and dancing to Chinese music had shocked him and now his wife had given him another.

“Well, it must be a miracle then. Ju Wei, don’t fail me with that Pipa.” Aarti warned.

“We’ll be singing ‘Flowers blooming but dying red at west’ ” said Bai Lu Chen.

“What song is that?” Fu Jin asked with furrowed eyebrows. He hadn’t heard of this song before.

“It’s a song composed by Bai Lu Chen,” said Long Ren, and Bai Lu Chen nodded.

“You may start,” ordered Long Hua Ming.

“Yes,” the trio nodded and took their places.

Bai Lu Chen and Ju Wei sat on the ground. Only Long Ren was standing. He looked at Theresa and she nodded with a smile. He also nodded and began to play his chimes slowly. Long Hua Ming furrowed his eyebrows again as he recalled something.

Long Ren was indeed good at the chimes. Able to relax your body right from the start and make you feel at ease with all mankind.

The pace at which he played increased and just when everyone’s hearts felt tense or excited, he suddenly stopped and Bai Lu Chen played his Guzheng very slowly and the sounds were faint.

He did this for two minutes and when the audience was getting anxious and bored he suddenly started playing fast, slowing down occasionally before speeding up the movement of his long fingers.

He was able to pull the heart of the audience and make them feel refreshed and happy. Ju Wei at this moment joined and played the pipa slowly, the sounds weren’t heard as they were dominated by Bai Lu Chen’s Guzheng but he soon lowered his playing speed and that’s when Ju Wei increased the volume of his music.

“Gosh! This kid is talented,” Aarti thought in her heart.

He seemed to be pouring this emotion into the music. Long Ren resumed playing his chimes slowly while Bai Lu Chen kept playing at a steady pace.

“This is the best music I’ve ever heard,” Marabelle cried as she occasionally played her harp along with Ju Wei.

At this moment, everyone was immersed in either playing or enjoying the music. For the first time, everyone was at peace and in unity.

Earth.

Beijing, China.

Lan and Li Hua were seriously worried. Why had their boss not contacted them yet? They couldn’t go to meet him either. So they just continued their work.

Today was a weekend and they decided to go shopping. Well, after teaching that fat pig a lesson, they’d extorted him real good and Lan even suggested that they rob for a living. It was satisfying and profiting at the same time. She could also torture villains. Ha! That would be too good. But Li Hua disagreed so the idea was thrown into the trash bin.

They had chosen to go into ‘Peony’ a top-tier shop that sold very expensive women stuff and these two girls just wanna have fun so they got in. Lan is wearing a mini black skirt, a white tank top, and a denim jeans jacket.

She wore a small black necklace and black sandals. Her hair was in ponytails. Li Hua wore pink trousers, a purple long top, and purple fancy slippers. Her hair was in a bun. Their dressing made them look average as all who entered this shop were dressed expensively as if afraid that no one would notice that they’ve got money to spend.

The guards at the front of the shop stopped them.

“Where’s your card?” one of the guards asked ina hostile manner,

“What card?”Li Hua asked in confusion.

“Err… sorry Lan. I seemed to have forgotten the card I purchased last week.” Lan scratched her head in shame.

“I’m sorry, we’ll go get it now. Sorry for disturbing you,” Li Hua sincerely apologized and dragged Lan away.

“Hmph! Do those girls think they can fool me? Not happening!”thought the guard as he returned to his assigned post to welcome other customers.

Outside the shop, Li Hua was pissed.

“Lan’er, you shamed us just now,”

“I didn’t mean to! Besides, we can still get in, in our own way.” said Lan.

“How?”

“I say, we sneak in. Li Hua, you’re behaving more like an earth girl. We’re cultivators and so this is a piece of cake.” Lan happily said but Li Hua didn’t agree.

“We can’t do that. That’s power abuse!” said Li Hua.

“Power abuse? What we did to Mr. Wen last time, what’s that called?” Lan asked with a sly smile.

“Fine! You win. Besides, I really wanna teach this arrogant shop a lesson. From now on, any shop that treats us badly, GETS ROBBED!” Li Hua declared.

“Hurray! Hurray!” Lan yelled excitedly.

Passersby stared at her like they were looking at a clown.

“What are you looking at? Want me to gouge out your eyes?” Lan thundered and many people crossed to the other side.

“Shit! That girl is sure feisty,”

“Yeah! I pity her future husband.”

“Yeah! I agree. Such a woman will find it hard to give birth.”

Lan was really pissed when she heard those words and wanted to beat the people up but Li Hua dragged her away.

“Lan’er, don’t make a scene.” Li Hua advised in a whisper.

“Why?”

“You can direct your anger at something else,” Li Hua said with an evil smile.

10 minutes later, the expensive shop was on fire and more than half of its goodies were missing.

When the firefighters came, they couldn’t put out the fire because the more they used water, the bigger the fire. Thankfully, no one died but it meant the shop had been thrown down into the mud.

“Why waste my money on a store with costly things and beasts for human guards. Hmph! Serves them right!” Lan thought in contentment.
