A Tale of Chase and Love s1

“What are you guys waiting for? Come out!” Long Ren yelled.

“He’s Chinese!” exclaimed one of the men.

“How do you know that?” another asked.

“I watch Chinese dramas a lot.” the man replied.

“Is it then enough so speak with that man?” the fourth man asked.

“No, it isn’t!”

“Then how do we communicate?” the third man asked. All were confused on what to do and an impatient Long Ren hit the car bonnet and it bent outta shape, also ruining a lot of things like the radiator, battery etc.

One of the men sighed and mumbled: “We’re done for,”

And so they decided to come out of the car to face this demon lord. But to their surprise, he vanished.

“Huh? He vanished? Where did he go? Were my eyes playing tricks just now?” the 2nd man exclaimed. But another immediately rushed to the car; only to find the captive gone.

“We’re dead!”

“What happened?”

“She’s gone!”

Meanwhile, Long Ren reappeared with Theresa in a forest. He sat her down on a chopped tree trunk and wiped off his sweat. Man, that was the only time he’d run so fast. Though he knew this was a dream, he wanted to go back to reality but didn’t know how. All he knew was that the key lay in his Mi… no Ex-mistress.

In less than two minutes, Theresa slowly opened her eyes and then both Long Ren and her got sucked into a portal that all of a sudden just appeared.

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

Luo Ye,

Theresa’s home.

Long Ren who had been left to lie on the floor all this time, finally opened his eyes slowly. He could hear two people arguing loudly.

Aargh! His whole body hurt. He rubbed his eyes and saw those two geezers still drinking wine from a spatial jar that contained lots of wine. Seeing them almost at each others throat over a silly bet, made his head ache badly. Damn it, those bastards! They left his holy body here on the floor all this time like a rag to be stepped upon!

He gritted his teeth, swearing to teach these two farts a lesson. He struggled to get up. Ju Wei who had just entered the room, saw that Long Ren had awoken. Delightedly he called out “Master!” but he immediately covered his mouth and coughed.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Help me!” commanded Long Ren but to his surprise, Ju Wei did not obey but instead brought out a bucket containing very cold water and poured it on Long Ren, successfully alerting the two quarreling geezers.

“What happened?” both asked in unison as the wine jars fell from their hands.

“Nothing!” Ju Wei replied with a cold face and made for the seat besides Theresa’s bed and sat down.

“You,,,” Long Ren was still stunned and took a while to register what Ju Wei had just done to him.

“How dare you?” Long Ren raised his voice but Ju Wei put a finger to his own lips and said: “Shh! Mistress is still sleeping. Don’t wake her!”

“You…” since when did Ju Wei become like this? What happened to him? Or could it be that… he was in another dream?

“Grandson, you are back and wet.” his grandpa stated.

“Old man, are you just noticing that now?” Long Ren’s fury was increasing every minute.

“You deserve the state you are in now.” Ju Wei said to Long Ren while glancing through a book he took out from his spatial ring.

“What did you say?”

“Oh, could it be that the all powerful demon lord is partially deaf now. Well, with how things are going, it won’t be long before you become deaf and blind and finally crippled. I pray that day comes soon enough.” Ju Wei said before returning back to reading.

“So… this is what you think of me all along. You hate me and now that I’m weaker than you… you wanna vent all your pent up frustrations on me huh? You are right! I deserve all this, whatever state I’m in is all my fault.” Long Ren slowly dried up his clothes and body with a low level spell, sat on the floor and crossed his legs.

“What’s the use of meditating? I won’t let you calm down, you stupid fox” Ju Wei spat.

Long Ren who’d closed his eyes opened them again.

“What did you say?”

“This is the second time you ask me that question. Anyway, now that your eyes are open, it’s easier for me to preach to you.” Ju Wei put down his book and stood up. He then put his hands behind his back and circled around Long Ren slowly.

“Ex-master Long Ren, I’ve never hated you. If you didn’t save me back then, I’ll be non-existent and for that I’ll be forever grateful to you. I revered you and always sought your approval but you… you never approved of me!”

“That’s because you do disgusting things!” Long Ren spat.

“Oh, the fact that I’m a cutsleeve? Hahahaha. Indeed compared to me in this aspect, you are holy. But it doesn’t change the fact that you are a scumbag. You hated mistress from the start and that’s why you ditched her at the last minute. She was almost raped but you did nothing to help her. All ‘cos of you she ended up in the forbidden dessert. In your eyes, she was better off dead. You are a monster!”

“Kettle calling pot black.” Long Ren muttered.

“I’m no kettle. But you are indeed a pot. Black inside out. No, I’m wrong! You are Yama’s subordinate.”

“JU WEI,”

“Don’t raise your voice at me, disgusting fox!”

“I see, Fu Jin just have fed you fat with his stupidity”

“You call me stupid?” Fu Jin who’d been planning to watch this movie without doing a thing, got irked.

“What? Aren’t you stupid?”

“You… evil pal, can you see your grandson?”

“He’s not my grand child. I think he was switched at birth by the enemy.” commented old Long.

“Thief! Theif!”

The four angry men were awakened to reality by a shrill female scream.
