A Tale of Chase and Love s1

“Huh? What happened in there?” Ling thought and made his way towards the door that had been left open by Lan.

When he wanted to enter, the door suddenly slammed against his nose. The impact sent him a few metres away from the door.

“Ouch!” he hissed in pain.

Did baby Yao have to be so cruel to her father? He was only worried after all Li Hua promised everything would be alright.

Now, seeing a pissed Lan storming out meant there might have been a quarrel. But whatever!

He won’t make his way towards that door again. Sigh! baby Yao is really scary.

Inside the room.

Li Hua was instructed to pour out her fire energy on Vanessa.

At first, she was hesitant after all, this was someone who needed help. But as soon as she did, a shield formed around Vanessa and Li Hua mouthed an “Oh!”

“Just continue while I search for the right spell for it.” baby Yao commanded and continued turning the pages of the magic book. Finally, after ten minutes, she found it and read out the spell.

“Raez mi llee szen botchke a li”

Immediately, yellow light covered Vanessa and baby Yao tossed the book faraway.

“This is a vital moment. Increase your fire!” commanded baby Yao.

“Yes!” Li Hua nodded and increased her pouring but to say the truth. She felt drained somehow. Sigh! how much she wished Lan was here.

Li Hua’s job was to warm up Vanessa’s body while baby Yao poured her helping energy on Vanessa.

Ten minutes later.

It was taking longer than expected with the absence of Lan.

Li Hua’s fire had terribly weakened and baby Yao’s healing had reduced. Both sweated heavily.

“Gosh! We don’t have much time. I can’t keep freezing time for much longer.”baby Yao cried out.

“Well, this wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t irritated Lan.” Li Hua complained.

“You blame it on me? Who was it that slapped her?” baby Yao retorted.

“You know who really made her vexed. You!” Li Hua rebutted.

“Work harder or our efforts will really go down the drain.” baby Yao urged.

“I’m trying okay! I’m also tired as well.” Li Hua sighed.

Outside the room.

Ling went out of the hospital. He sensed weakened energy from the morgue room and knew that Lan had to be brought back. But where would he find her?

Unexpectedly, he saw her outside destroying all the cars in the hospital even his. Gosh! This Lan is sure strong. How was he gonna get close to her without being hurt?

At the same time, Lan turned her head and saw him and then… stopped.

“They sent you to get me? Go back! Tell them I’m busy.” she said with a wicked smile.

“Err, lady. I came on my own. I dunno what happened in there but I wanna apologize on their behalf.”

“Your daughter slapped me and injured me. My bestie also slapped me. Do you think this can be solved with an apology from a nobody? Don’t make me laugh!” Lan scoffed.

“What the hell? Baby Yao, you’ve killed me.” Ling lamented in his heart. This was gonna be hard.

“Err… I..” he couldn’t complete his words because the person in question Lan had vanished.

“Again? Sigh! Magical beings really make me feel inferior. Now that she’s left, where do I begin looking for her?” he thought in frustration, both hands on his waist.

Heavens only know how much energy he’d expended just to get down here and now he had to go back up. You know his baby has frozen everything… hehe the elevator didn’t work so just imagine how many stairs he ran down. Now he also has to go back to the VIP ward again. How terrible!

Somewhere in Wuhan.

A lady opened her eyes. She is as pretty as Theresa currently is right now, fair-skinned without flaws, tall, slim, curvy at the right places and sexy. Any man would drool at the sight of this beauty.

Currently, she is still lying lazily on her king-size bed.

“Peter, get me water. Peter? Ronald… Feng Xiu! Where are all these stupid servants? Daring to ignore their mistress’ call. Hmph! It seems I’ve been too lenient recently and they forgot who this princess is.” the beauty unhappily got down the bed, wore her pink fluffy slippers and arranged her black sexy lace nightgown that barely covered her ample boobs and thighs.

She stretched her body and headed towards the door. Taking another glance at her big, tidy room, she let out a sinister chuckle.

“Morning to all demons and birds. Whose blood will I drink today? Whose meat will enter my pot? Hehe!” she muttered as she opened the door made of acacia wood and left the room.

She resides in a mansion and lords over 60 servants, all of whom she remembers vividly. However, when she reached the living room, she was shocked to see things and people frozen in place.

“Who did this? Show yourself…” she was unable to complete her words as she felt weak energy towards the north.

“I’ll go see what’s happening.” she muttered before changing into a white and red Hanfu.

Her formerly black hair had become yellow and her black eyes now pink. Her red lips became a chestnut colour. She looked elegant and gentle with royalty showing from head to toe.

“And off I go!” she muttered again before disappearing.

*******

Ling panted as he finally made his way back to the VIP section of Guinea hospital. Sigh, he really needs to drink water after climbing those stairs!

He lay on the floor patting his chest.

“Water… need water…” he muttered.

Behind him, the beautiful lay that rivaled Theresa, had appeared and she changed her clothes to a pink crop sweater and white mini skirt. On her feet were dark pink sandals and her eyes and lips had returned to their normal color.

She walked to him and stood in front of him. Any who saw her now would drool and wanna pounce directly on her but it seems her charms weren’t working on Ling.

“Who are you?” he asked with a dry voice.

“Sir, you must be thirty. Do you want to drink some of my milk?” she asked seductively.

“Er… no, my wife has delicious milk right from day one of our marriage. Thanks for your concern.” he said with a meaningful smile.

“Okay then! Where is the one with weak magic?” she asked.

“Tell me who you are and your mission first,” Ling demanded.

“Quite stubborn, ain’t you? You don’t deserve to know but I’ll give you a hint. I’m called ‘The untouchable peony’ ” she said before heading straight to the morgue room. She didn’t even knock but just vanished.

Ling was a bit shocked.

“OMG! What’s going on today?” he asked himself. But he was still thirsty.

Any thing would do so long as it was liquid. Actually it’s not that he didn’t find any water on his way here. Just that everything had been frozen. He couldn’t drink ice right? Things got to return to normal as soon as possible or else he isn’t sure he can take it anymore.

Argh, he was so thirsty!

Another figure appeared behind him. It was Lan.

This time she is wearing pale green floral gown a few inches above her knees and bright red heels. Her hair was held up in two ponytails by two red ribbons. On her neck, a shiny scarlet necklace paraded. Yeah, just now, she decided to go change clothes.

She didn’t go Beijing, just visited some luxurious store a few hours drive away from the hospital to ‘borrow’ what she liked. But it seems she is a bit lacking in the make-up aspect.

“AHH! Who are you?” Ling asked when he saw her.

Who was this strange girl behind him? She looked scary! Eyebrows thicker than a man’s, too much blush applied, too much lipstick and uneven eye shadow. This lady got some talent at looking like a ghost.

Lan was unhappy at being asked such a question.

“You don’t know me anymore?” she asked with a pissed tone.

“You… are that lady from before?” Ling couldn’t believe it.

How long did it take him to climb all those stairs? But look at her. She’s here without sweating and even had time to change her look.

“Life is unfair!” he thought in frustration.

“I see that you are thirsty and coincidentally, I wanna pee and no nearby privy. Urine is liquid too; so do you mind drinking it?” she asked with a meaningful smile.

“Err… no. No.” Ling refused. No matter what he won’t even drink soda water say less of urine.

“I’m a magical being. Maybe my urine can give you magical powers?” Lan shrugged. “But since you don’t want it…” she tossed a bottle of hot water to him.

“It’s the best I can do for you now.” she said before heading to the morgue room. Instead of knocking, she teleported.

“Argh! I hate my life. What help? More like torture. I’m so thirsty. My throat is very dry. I swear I could drink a whole dam and she actually gave me hot soda water in a bottle. This life is unfair. Please, let things return to normal. I wanna see my dear wife and hold my baby girl in my arms once again. I don’t mind if even my memory gets wiped. Sigh!”

Inside the morgue room.

The beautiful lady who had earlier referred to herself as ‘The untouchable peony’ was healing Li Hua and baby Yao as they poured their energy into Vanessa’s body. But Lan felt she couldn’t take it anymore.

She needed another fire source but Lan had been angered and stormed off. She could only grit her teeth and continue the treatment.

When she felt like fainting, two hands were suddenly placed on her back and she felt heat energy flow into her body. It was familiar. She turned her head for a moment.

“Lan?”

“Let’s finish up. I want her tiara,” Lan indifferently said and Li Hua smiled.

“Yeah, let’s do this.” Li Hua’s fire energy increased by a whole lot; attracting the attention of the two healers (baby Yao and the unnamed lady)

“You’re back? Great!” baby Yao gave Lan a thumbs p but she only hissed in return.

‘Untouchable peony’ didn’t say a word and just focused on doing her thing.

30 minutes later…Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
