A Tale of Chase and Love s1

Back at Jan Miean village, Long Ren smiled brightly as the people applauded happily at his command.

“I am so glad that this show was a blockbuster. I feel really honored to know that you will never forget this show.” Long Ren bowed his head slightly as they applauded even more as their life depended on their performance.

Old man Jin Ming, even exerted all his strength in the applause. All everyone prayed for was that Long Ren would leave soon enough.

“Before I finally leave, my dear citizens, this brothel, I want it closed by tomorrow. I hope I speak clearly before real humans?” said Ren.

“Y. E. E. E. S. S” they shouted loudly with all their might; then Ren nodded his head in approval.

“You lot really are obedient sheep.” commented Ren as his eyes surveyed all of them. Then his eyes fell back to the 3 fresh flowers for sale previously. He placed his hands on their shoulders and gave them a necklace each.

“Wherever you are from, this necklace will guard you back safely. Be sure to remain at your sect for 3 months without stepping out” Ren instructed.

The three pretty girls nodded and then thanked him by kowtowing but he disappeared from their midst without a word. The 3 girls also disappeared but its obvious that their destination and Ren’s was different.

Seeing that the demon has finally left, they all began to jubiliate. The men all escaped from the brothel while the prostitutes ran back to their rooms to grab whatever was important to them.

In 30 minutes time, the whole brothel crashed and a faint mist covered it. This was a warning to the villagers that this brothel could never be rebuilt. The survivors could not tell others about what they had experienced.

As Ren had sealed their lips regarding this incident, they would die with the secret. This was the price to pay. Of course, they would be greeted by many sleepless nights due to nightmares and withdrawal symptoms.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Some women, however, were joyful at the brothel’s downfall. This means the possibility of their husbands, sons and relatives bedding prostitutes was very very low. They thanked whoever caused the downfall in their hearts.

That person was a good man or woman. Wherever he is, their blessings would always follow him or her. If only the knew whom they were blessing truly.

Back at Theresa’s new home.

Theresa was lying on the couch in the living room, sleeping peacefully when a crash near her made her suddenly wake up. She rubbed her eyes over and over again to make sure that she wasn’t seeing wrong.

It seems that Long Ren did come to save her; though he was very late, he still came. She only felt a slight headache but apart from that, her body was fine. She then stretched her body and yawned a little. It’s really nice to have a place to call home.

She brought her feet down the couch and placed it on the warm rug only to meet a sight. There were two bears looking at her and sitting on the other couch. It appeared that they might be a mother and child bear.

On the small table in the middle of the room, was a giant crab that had one of its legs chained to a seemingly small stone. However, this stone is very heavy for Theresa to even raise. Towards her left was a huge bag of grain.

What the heck! Is this still her house? How did all this stuff get into her house without her noticing? Was Long Ren the culprit?

No, that doesn’t seem likely! Ren hated contact with other humans; whether male or female say less of animals.

How then did these three things get here? Did someone break into her house while Ren was away? If it is so, then this house isn’t safe. While she was lost in her deep thoughts, her expression changing frequently. Ren appeared behind her.

“Mistress, do you like them? I did what you asked me to. You asked for a bear called teddy and I couldn’t find any with that name. You also didn’t specify if it’s a small or big bear so I brought both. Then I also bought this giant crab so it can walk here. Maybe you want to see a crab in live action. Then you said push-ups. I don’t have much idea about it so I bought this bag of grain. Maybe, I’ll just push it up the roof.” Ren explained, not seeing that his mistress’ face was turning black.

Her cute ears were now bringing smoke. This evil pet! Here she thought there was a burglar not knowing it was Ren all along. Isn’t he supposed to be intelligent since he’s a powerful beast? If he doesn’t understand, why not wait for her to come to teach him?

When Ren finally raised his head to see her looking at him, his knees nearly gave in. If Mistress was like this, it meant she was angry. He doesn’t wanna be punished with periods again. Heavens know that he dared not sit or lie comfortably as he wanted when his member was gushing out blood.

Now he was going to be in such state again? No, that can’t happen.

“Mistress, I saved your life and healed you with my medicine,” he said with a low voice. His head hung low guiltily and he looked like he’d cry any minute.

Hearing that sentence from him made her calm down. That’s right! Ren saved her life so even if he’s a bit stupid, he’s all she got in this world, right?

So she can’t hate him too much.

“Alright, fine! But recall to take all these away,” she said as she smoothened the creases on her clothes.

“Its getting dark. I need to find that Grandma and see if she’s alright.” Theresa said as she made towards the door.

“Mistress…” Ren took off the whip from his waist and put it around her waist and then he placed a small green stone on her hand.

“Mistress… this is a location stone. It will help you find her faster. I know… I may not like you much but please stop punishing me all the time. Just like you, I’m not perfect. Even if my true form is a small, tiny animal but… I can still change to a human. Please treat me as you would treat a friend, okay? I don’t have any friends since I was six.” Ren said emotionally with red eyes. A tear even slid down his right eye but he quickly cleaned it off and turned away.

“Mistress, am sorry, I shouldn’t be saying such words to you. You are the mistress and I am but just a mere pet subject to you for a lifetime,” he said quickly and wanted to walk away when he felt a hand stop him from moving.

He turned his head around to see that Theresa was holding his left hand.

“It’s okay. I’m also at fault. I’m stupid too. I’m not perfect. Please forgive me for all my wrongs to you. I won’t treat you like a beast anymore, neither will I feed you bones. I promise to be a good mistress from now on. You’re all I have,” she said as tears slid down her face, making her look so pitifully cute.

Ren cleaned off her tears and turned around. Immediately, Theresa hugged him and started crying. Ren patted her back carefully and told her not to cry anymore.
