A Tale of Chase and Love s1

“Wait, wait! You can’t leave him here. Let’s take him home for a meal” said Theresa.

“You…” Ren then sighed in defeat.

“Alright! If that’s what mistress wants,” he muttered before taking her by the hand and grabbing the stunned old man by the collar.

The trio vanished right from the vicinity of the medicinal herb hall. Those who saw it were shocked.

Some who had planned to make Ren give up his storage ring thanked the heavens silently that they did not put their thoughts into action.

There is a rule and barrier that prevents anyone below saint stage from disappearing. Since Ren did that with two others, it meant that as young as he is, he’s either a saint stage practitioner or above saint stage.

How lucky they were just now!

Theresa’s house.

Theresa had Ye Feng prepare a delicious meal for the old man. She chatted with him for a while as he ate and drank.

When he was done eating 6 minutes later, he placed a ring in her right index finger. He told her that when she reaches foundation builder stage the ring’s use will come to light.

Theresa thanked the man who introduced himself finally as Fu Jin the renowned crazy doctor.

“I am going on a trip after defeating my brother. I want to search for a new disciple worthy of inheriting all my knowledge.” he said before taking his leave.

Theresa wanted to run after him to express her interest in medicine but Ren held her.

“Mistress, the roles have changed. Follow me,” Ren barked.

Theresa was surprised that she was scared of Ren.

“Ren, where are you taking me?” she yelled.

Ren put a voice sealing spell on her lips and dragged her into an empty room and locked the door.

“You let go of me,” she mind-linked Ren.

“So noisy!” he mind linked her back and stuck out his tongue before throwing her to the floor. He threw the meridian opening potion at Theresa.

“Drink it. It’s time for you to learn how to cultivate.” Long Ren said as he did the seal on her lips.

The moment Theresa saw the seal was lifted she began to question him on the use of the liquid in the bottle.

“It’s meant for cleansing your heavy body of impurities and opening 4 or six meridians- that is… if you can handle it,” Ren explained.

“Okay,” Theresa said before opening the bottle and drinking its content in one go.

“I’m done. So… what comes next?” she asked.

“Your suffering!” Ren replied with an evil smile, sending several chills down Theresa’s spine.

“What do you mean by that?” Theresa asked in alarm. Her instincts told her that it wasn’t going to be a good thing.

“To cultivate, one must go through pain. It’s just like childbirth. But don’t worry, I’ll be there for you. You can do it. Fighting!” Ren cheered, an evil smile still on his lips.

“You… I wanna back out. I don’t wanna cultivate anymore!” Theresa shouted.

When she newly came to this dynasty, she suffered a lot of pain. She thought that those pain would make her cultivate but no! She was still trash who couldn’t cultivate. There was no way she would get ready for more rounds of pain.

“Here, mistress,” Ren put candy into her mouth and caressed her head roughly.

“Be good, mistress. Imagine yourself flying in the clouds,” he added with a chuckle.

By this time, beads of sweat were already rolling down her forehead. Theresa was not feeling any pain and so she did not understand what was happening to her.

“Ren, let’s stop this. I give up!” she yelled in frustration.

She was feeling so hot at the moment. The first time she thought it was aphrodisiac but then, it kept increasing that all she could think of was burning houses and forests.

“What do you see mistress?” Ren asked playfully as he pulled a rocking chair from his storage ring and placed it down on the floor.

“I want… to… back out…” Theresa said with a parched voice. She looked like she could faint any minute now.

“Do you want water?” Ren asked.

Theresa nodded immediately and Ren gave her a half-filled jar of colorless and tasteless wine. Theresa who thought it was water thanked Ren and quickly devoured all the jar’s content.

Seeing this, Ren shook his head in pity and sighed.

“Many days are for the mistress but one day for the miserable pet.” Ren muttered before sitting on the rocking chair and relaxing his back. He brought out a plate containing strawberries.

“Lady, now you can start entertaining me,” Ren declared with interest.

Theresa who had just finished the contents started to feel dizzy and hotter. When Ren whistled, she felt an unbearable pain emerge at her back spreading rapidly to the whole of her body.

She fell down and started convulsing, white foam coming out from her mouth which was gasping for air. Ren nodded in satisfaction.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“That’s more like it. Mistress, just a little more work and you can receive two stars in acting from me.” he muttered.

Theresa couldn’t hear a thing at this moment. She saw herself in a dessert with a fire dragon pursuing her hotly. The experience of every beginner cultivator in Luo Ye is different but it is related to fire. Their experience, however, doesn’t entail such severe pain and convulsion that Theresa was going through right now.

One look at Ren’s face and we’ll know he added something to the candy given to her. Also, beginner cultivators do not drink wine for a year but Ren just broke the rule and tricked Theresa into finishing half a big jar of it thinking it was water.

With all of these facts now known, it is clear that this is just the start of Theresa’s suffering.
