A Tale of Chase and Love s1

Imperial Cold Palace.

**************

Long Ren was confused.

How come she’s like this? This mistress of his should not be offended so even if he doesn’t want to, he has to show concern for her. With this in mind, he walked towards the angry mistress and knelt down in front of her.

“Mistress, Long Ren has returned.” he said with a low yet firm voice.

However, his voice was like a thorn in Theresa’s flesh; something to remind her, that she can’t use her cheat until ten years. Why bother to appear in the first place? Was it to force her to cultivate (i. e practice magic)? She just wants to live a simple life filled with luxury but she only gets to drink a glass of red wine before her happiness disappeared. And then, Drizelle gave her a task.

Apart from taking revenge on Han Fei Fei’s enemies she still has to cultivate just to get a cheat. Then was that really a cheat? A gift? She began to mock herself for being so stupid. She was very stupid to think that everything would last.

“Mistress… I brought them back. Mistress… I don’t know what you’re upset about but know that this isn’t the end.” he ‘reassured’.

“Long Ren, do you know how much I miss my mummy and daddy?” she asked as she raised her head to look at him.

‘Where is this conversation heading?” Ren thought. How is it his concern if she misses her parents? He was away from his parents at age 9 and she’s 17 for god’s sake. Can’t his mistress be a little more mature?

“Long Ren, I can sense you’re mocking me. Your period starts now. Please go into seclusion today” Theresa angrily ordered. This annoying pet should just leave her alone!

What’s the use of his cute face and tempting red lips if he can’t comfort her, his mistress?

Long Ren wanted to beg but out of pride, he decided against it. He expected this anyway. He just sighed and brought out the two girls who were inside his storage ring and threw them to the floor roughly.

He looked at his mistress one more time, slight anger and frustration evident in his watery eyes, then he turned to leave, disappearing before reaching the door.

Theresa looked at the two familiar yet unfamiliar girls lying on the floor and shivering in their sleep. She then looked at the door.

“Long Ren, I need to tame you properly. I do not hate you. I’m just going through hard times” she muttered as she brought herself to stand.

She might not be as lucky as other FL’s are but she’s can succeed. She will tame Long Ren, get these two maids’ support, and go see the outside world tomorrow.

She walked to the bed and carefully lay on it. She’s so tired now. She needs to process her thoughts and be the sweet girl she once was.

Yes, she has no modern luxury but what about ancient luxury? She’ll go for them and there’s no need to worry for Long Ren, her free money bank is there.

With that, she slowly fell asleep.

Poor Long Ren would not have an easy life from now on. He might have to cry every day for her to get free pearls.

The next morning, instead of being woken by her alarm clock or sweet bird songs, Theresa was forced to wake up by cold despite covering herself with 7 blankets.

Since last night, she hasn’t bathed and now she felt so gross. She looked at the floor and found the two maids of Han Fei Fei lying on two mats, each covered with 3 blankets but they were still shivering, eyes tightly closed.

Theresa sighed as she removed the blankets and got down from the shaky bed. On her left was the chair her pet left behind. She wondered how he was doing.

“Long Ren, wherever you are, good morning!” she muttered as she picked up the scroll again and opened it.

She could not understand any character at all. She would need Ren for this. Now he’s beginning to have some use. She dropped the scroll on the bed and walked over to the two maids. There was a magic barrier shielding them from much of the cold.

“Long Ren is not as evil as I thought. My hard work is beginning to bear fruit but still, I will not remove his punishment.” she thought as she surveyed the room again.

How are her parents doing now? They must be worried sick. For the first time in life, she regretted disobeying her parents. If she didn’t, she’d still be with them and would still have to attend idol’s concert another time.

Her Kim Tae Hyung. She misses him so much. Heavens know how much of her day and time is spent daydreaming about him. She would never hear his voice nor see his face again. She also has to cultivate but doesn’t know how to.

Again Long Ren has another use. Sometimes one should treasure what they had.

She closed her eyes and exhaled deeply. No need to sigh anymore. She must move on… live on. She needs to find a way to bathe and wear clothes and eat food. These were her priority.

“Long Ren! Long Ren!” she called out loudly and right behind her a tall figure now dressed in black materialized.

“Mistress what are your orders”

Theresa was stunned.

“My pet is a man right? No pet-man but still why does he have such a tiny voice?” She thought in wonderment and turned around to see not a handsome man but a ‘beauty’. A lady that couldn’t cause nations to fall but could at least destroy villages and towns because of her beauty.

” Long Ren…” she was was at a loss for words

“Mistress, I’m a female currently and experiencing my first period. ” ‘she’ reminded a stunned Theresa.

“Oh! Ok! But you are really very pretty. Em… I want to have a bath. Where can I do that?” she asked

“Mistress, I suggest the public bathroom,” said Long Ren.

“Public bathroom?”

“Yes, mistress. It is the ideal place. You’ll also get to explore our world” ‘she’ explained.

“Ok! But what about them?” Theresa asked pointing at the two maids.

“What are your orders, Mistress?”

“Wake them up gently” she ordered.

Without a word, Ren squatted and removed the magic barrier. Then he got up again.

“Long Ren, I told you to wake them up gently,”

“I already did so” Long Ren defended.

It didn’t take long to wake them because they had jumped up in fright due to the cold.

“Nice job Long Ren”Theresa commended and gave him a thumbs up.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Long Ren smiled for a second before returning to his usual cold face.

Why was he so glad about getting a thumbs up from mistress? Was it because of the pain he went through or does she have the power to really subdue him? Either way, he must never offend this woman before him.

She might have nothing now but it would be certainly different in the future. Long Ren then nodded at Theresa before turning into a fox that had a moon mark on his forehead.

“Oh my! Long Ren is such a beautiful fox,” she exclaimed as she carried him in her arms. She already fell in love with this fox

The two girls who had just woken up saw their mistress wearing a weird top and a cloth tied at her waist.

Wasn’t mistress poisoned? Wasn’t she dead? How come they were here with her safe and sound in the cold palace?

“Save your fears. It’s me your mistress, Han Fei Fei. I have recovered my beauty but I lost some parts of my memory but I also do recall you as my maids.” Theresa said without blinking.

“Mistress, is it really you?” Lan asked excitedly.

“Hug me then,” Theresa said.

The two maids’ eyes fell on the fox in her arms. Where did mistress get such a beautiful fox? She’s so cute.

“Mistress, what’s her name?” Li Hua asked.

“I call her Fei Fei just like me but you must call her Maora” Theresa replied.

“Mistress, can I carry her? She’s so fluffy” Lan begged.

Long Ren the fox was very unhappy

“Go away. I’m only for mistress, ” He thought angrily. These low lives had no right to touch him. He’s a demon lord for heaven’s sake!
