A Tale of Chase and Love s1

Back in Beijing, the troublesome two-Lan and Li Hua had been drinking red wine stolen from a top list wine shop earlier, when they sensed something wrong and came out only to see people, cars, practically everything was frozen in place.

Lan rubbed her eyes to be sure she wasn’t hallucinating.

“Li Hua, are we dreaming?” she asked in confusion.

“No!” Li Hua shook her head. “I thought we’re the only magical beings here. Seems I was wrong,” she muttered.

“Eh? What do you mean? What other magical beings are you talking about?” Lan asked in further puzzlement. What’s going on?

“It’s amazing! Others are frozen in place but we aren’t. What could possibly…” Li Hua was cut off by Lan who exclaimed.

“Look at that petite figure…”

Li Hua looked at the direction Lan pointed to and saw…

“A FAIRY!” both exclaimed in shock as they beheld the magical being that they’ve only read in books make its way towards them.

“This is a dream… this is a dream…” Lan recited while Li Hua shook her head in pity.

“Shush, you fool.” Li Hua chided and knelt, pulling Lan down with her.

“Why are we kneeling?” Lan was unreconciled.

“That’s royalty!” Li Hua replied.

“Huh? How can you tell?” Lan asked in puzzlement.

“I just know it. Pay your respects with me,” saying that, Li Hua took the lead in prostrating and Lan unwillingly followed.

Gah!

They’d managed to escape from Luo Ye by tricking someone and had almost forgotten that they were once slaves who had to bow every second of their lives. Now after getting here, they had to bow too.

They’d never even bowed to their boss, Clark Williams. Why would they have to bow to that little fairy?

By the time the fairy showed her true self, both were paying their respects already.

“Your servant beholds royal princess!” they chorused.

The figure they were bowing to is our baby, Yao. She landed on the ground gently, her beautiful wings fluttering fast.

“Please rise,” she commanded and the duo rose up.

“What does your highness need?” Li Hua asked.

“Sorry to disturb you but I really need your help,” said baby Yao worriedly.

“Tsk! After all that splendid appearance, she’s actually here to beg from us? Wonderful! Then, she might as well go on her knees and beg us,” Lan thought sarcastically.

She wanted this little princess to fly away as far as her wings could possibly take her.

“Our help? What could lowly servants like us offer you as assistance?” Li Hua asked.

“Yeah, why do we have to help you?” Lan butted in unhappily.

For heaven’s sake, this was but a child wearing a tiara. Wearing a tiara doesn’t make one a princess or else she’d just go buy no, steal one at the mall and ta-da! she’s a princess!

“My dear seniors, forgive me for intruding but I really need your help. You guys are my only hope.” pleaded baby Yao with puppy eyes.

Lan’s resolve to chase away this intruder lessened by 1%.

“So?” Lan folded her arms and asked in a ‘gentler’ tone: “Your highness what is it you require of us? Save your kingdom from Yama?”

“Lan? Be kind to her. Can’t you see she’s about to cry?” Li Hua chided her again.

“My mom is about to die!” baby Yao confessed and burst into tears.

“Aww… please don’t cry. We’ll definitely help you in the best way we can.” said Li Hua as she picked up baby Yao and pacified her.

“We? Not happening!” Lan refused.

“I’ll give you my tiara as compensation,” said baby Yao.

“Fine. But don’t go back on your word.” Lan reluctantly agreed at the mention of benefits while Li Hua sighed in defeat.

This girl is really spoiled but she was no better than her anyway. The kettle should not call pot black.

“So, can we leave now?” Lan asked impatiently.

“Right now,” said baby Yao after wiping off her tears. Her aura changed from a gentle type to domineering.

Lan began to sweat but Li Hua wasn’t worried. As expected of royalty. They are Oscar award-winning actors. To think, she even got fooled by her.

began to pity her subjects. Forget it, they’d both agreed on it anyway. There’s no turning back!

“Hold your friend’s hand.” baby Yao commanded and Lan obeyed, holding Li Hua’s left hand.

Her wings began to flutter at a faster rate and light enveloped the three of them and in a second, the trio vanished from their previous spot.

However, nothing in the surroundings changed. Seems this fairy princess really went all out for her mom.

The situation was really bad for Ling. Up till now, he still was unable to read aloud a single word. All he saw were pictures of things he couldn’t understand and a few words. So he tried to read out whatever he could.

“Ahem!” he cleared his throat. “Bi… ma ooo li si pin… li maaaaa bi… li?”

The air in the morgue became chillier.

“Eh? What’s happening?” Ling asked in fear.

The floating corpses stopped floating and fell to their respective beds. Then… they got up… BY THEMSELVES and opened their eyes which were glowing red.

“Ah!” he was shocked at the turn of events.

Even his wife now looked like a bloodthirsty monster. What had he done? The corpses were coming at him!

“Handsome, come and let us bed you.” the corpses chorused.

What? They wanna bed him? No way. What to do? Should he faint?

No, his safety and Vanessa’s was not secure. Should he escape? Though that seemed to be the most feasible option, he really could not because baby Yao promised to have his head for supper.

What should he do?

To worsen things, Vanessa’s eyes were glowing purple and she looked at him like a piece of meat.

“Human, come here and be my meal. I promise you’ll like the process.” she said in a scary voice.

“Ahhh!”he screamed in fear.

Why were the heavens so intent on punishing him? From one calamity to another. Everyone here wanted him as food but he wasn’t enough for even Vanessa to eat, right? This is madness!

“HELP! SOMEONE HELP!” he finally cried out. He just couldn’t take it anymore.
