A Tale of Chase and Love s1

Ju Wei was startled by Fu JIn’s sudden intrusion. He rose up from his seat on noticing Fu Jin’s worried face.

“Doctor Fu, what’s wrong? Is my great mistress…” he was interrupted by Fu Jin.

“That’s why I came here. She’s in big danger. Bai Lu Chen tried to form a contract with her.” he explained hurriedly.

“What? Bai Lu Chen? Who is that?” Ju Wei couldn’t recall anyone with such a name.

“The little kid in Theresa’s spatial ring. He’s a Taipan from the dragon tribe.” replied Fu JIn.

“Goodness, Fu Jin, why did you let this happen? Is there anything wrong?” Ju Wei asked.

“I found out that her contract with Long Ren has become an completely eternal contract which cannot be broken until one of them dies.” Fu Jin explained.

“What? Eternal contract? This…”

“No time to waste. Come see for yourself,” Fu Jin then disappeared.

Ju Wei took one last look at Marabelle before vanishing. Both appeared at Theresa’s room to find that one part of the room was freezing cold and the other was boiling hot.

“Goodness, great mistress! Fu Jin, what did you do to her?” Ju Wei cried out.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“It wasn’t me. The contract seal of Long Ren is fighting with the Taipan’s contract seal. I’ve never seen something like this happen before.”

“Fu Jin, this is way beyond me. Only one person can help now and it’s my ex-master,” said Ju Wei.

Fu Jin widened his eyes in shock. “Ex-master?”

“Yeah!” Ju Wei sighed. “He’s no longer my master. He rejected me and I don’t know why,”

“Then the problem we have has doubled. What do we do now?” asked Fu Jin.

“Try to stabilize her body and I’ll go get him,” Ju Wei said and vanished leaving Fu Jin to sigh and walk towards her after putting a protective shield around him so that he would never be frozen or boiled to death.

Back at Long Ren’s cave, at the lava pool, Long Ren suddenly felt pain in his chest and he swam out of the lava pool.

“What’s this?” he thought as he examined the seal on his right wrist that was glowing with a bright red color.

Hadn’t Theresa broken their contract? Why then was the seal still here? Was she in danger again? He gritted his teeth.

“She’s always in danger and always needing help. She can’t do anything by herself,” said Long Ren.

Ju Wei appeared at this moment and saw that his ex-master was completely nude. He then turned away and coughed to get his attention.

“Mas… I mean… ex-master… can you give me a minute?” he asked.

Long Ren turned to face Ju Wei’s back and frowned.

“What do you want? Did she send you here?” he asked.

“Ex-master… the contract seal has refused to leave great mistress’ body and is causing her a lot of pain. She’s currently on the verge of death.” Ju Wei explained hurriedly.

“So? Why should I care?”

“Because… the contract is an eternal contract and it can only be broken unless one dies,” said Ju Wei.

“Then, that’s convenient for me. Just let her die and I’ll be free. Isn’t that better?” Long Ren said nonchalantly.

“Ex-master, a Taipan tried to form a contract with her and he’s stronger than you. If his seal manages to push away your contract seal, then you…”

“I’ll what?”

“You might lose all your cultivation forever or worse still, lose your life,” said Ju Wei slowly.

“Are you here to threaten me?” Long Ren was mad now.

“I dare not. She looks like a monster now and… please you gotta save her. I’m willing to do anything you ask,” said Ju Wei.

“I’ll go see her but it won’t exceed 5 minutes,” said Long Ren before vanishing.

Ju Wei turned around. Seeing that Long Ren was no longer here, he sighed and vanished too. Long Ren appeared in Theresa’s room completely nude and Fu Jin frowned.

“What? Not happy to see me?” Long Ren asked.

“Put on some clothes,” said Fu Jin.

Realizing his state, he blushed. Gosh! How did he forget that he was nude? He quickly vanished and reappeared in one minute, now dressed in a white robe but he wore no shoes and also his hair had turned light blue.

“So what’s the emergency…” Long Ren couldn’t help but put a protective shield around him.

“What is this?” he asked in shock.

Ju Wei appeared and put a protective shield around himself.

“Ex-master, it’s caused by her,” explained Ju Wei.

Long Ren walked to Theresa who looked more monster-like than human. He nearly fell to the ground in shock.

“Are… are you sure that’s her and not an imposter?” Long Ren was not willing to believe it. Before he parted ways angrily with Theresa, she was whole and in one piece but now she’d turned into this?

“What… did she encounter?” he asked.

“Forbidden dessert.” replied Ju Wei and Long Ren was dismayed.

“She… how did she get in there?” he asked in disbelief.

“It’s all thanks to you,” Fu Jin said sarcastically.

“You… how do I help?” Long Ren asked.

“My Taipan actually formed a contract with her but your seal is refusing to leave Theresa’s body because it is now an everlasting seal,” said Fu Jin.

Long Ren looked ather right wrist that had grown fox fur and her legs that now had snake scales.

“Indeed, it is an eternal seal. But I can’t help unless…” Long Ren’s eyes widened. “I know who can help”

“Who?” Ju Wei and Fu Jin asked in unison.

“It is that lady that I made bald,” exclaimed Long Ren.

“Where is she?” Fu Jin asked.

“She should be in the Cherry kingdom. Ju Wei, please head there quick and drag her here. Hurry!” yelled Long Ren.

“Yes, my lord!” Ju Wei vanished and Fu Jin placed his hand on Theresa’s forehead and found that it was scalding hot.

“Long Ren, tell me, what happened between the both of you,” Fu Jin asked.

“That’s not vital. What’s vital is….” Long Ren was cut short by a voice.

“That my useless grandson abandoned his mistress even when she was at the verge of death.”

Both of them were shocked to hear another voice in the room.

A figure appeared dressed in yellow robes and barefooted. His long hair was in two ponytails and a red mark of a half-moon was on his forehead. Despite being old, he was very handsome.

“Grandpa?”

“Evil pal?”

Long Ren and Fu Jin exclaimed at the same time.

“Fu Jin, long time no see. I hear you are now the foster-dad of my grandson’s mistress,” said Long Ren’s grandpa.

“Well, Long Hua Ming, you need not have come. You…” Fu Jin was cut short.

“Enough! Theresa is indeed in big trouble and is currently having disturbing dreams,” explained Long Hua Ming. (I might refer to him as old Long too)

“Disturbing dreams?” Long Ren asked.

“Eish! you ask too much. Indeed, the girls of the Cherry kingdom can help her have nice dreams to a certain degree but it won’t help her complete the fusing contract.” said old man Long.

“Fusing contract?” Fu Jin asked in disbelief.

“This girl is after all the queen of furnaces so not only is her body enticing, her powers and skills must be too. The contract between little Long Ren and her has become an eternal contract because he has sworn to be with her forever, more than thrice.”

“What? That, I only said those words out of the blue… to help her recover faster. So she would. t feel alone and…”

“Never mind! You can’t change what has happened. The fusing contract, I had only read about it in legends but now it’s happening before me. This stage is very critical and she could lose her life not even him,” old man Long pointed to Long Ren who trembled and continued: “would be spared. So, I advise that one of you go inside her dreams and help her face everything she’s experiencing there.” said old man Long with his focus especially on his little Long Ren.

Fu Jin shook his head.

“I’m old, can’t withstand bad things. Long Ren is young and handsome. He can withstand anything. Even if Mt. Tai falls apart, he would still be sleeping.” Fu Jin said, quickly shifting the load on Long Ren.

“Yes, you are right Fu Jin. Long Ren, my son…”

“Grandson!” Fu Jin corrected.

“Shut up! How is it your concern, old man?” Long Ren yelled. He really wanted to cut this old fart into pieces right now.

“Easy Ren, Easy! He’s right. You are the perfect candidate to enter her dreams. Before Ju Wei returns, you have to help stabilize your mistress.” said old man Long.

“You…” Long Ren pointed at both of them. “All you do is make my life miserable.” he said with a growl.

“Wow! The white fox is mutating to a wolf-fox, how spectacular!” Fu Jin ‘praised’ with a sarcastic tone.

“YOU TWO, I’LL…”

“Now!” old man Long shouted and Fu Jin sent a small purple flame into Long Ren’s head and he fainted.

“Now let’s talk about life. She’ll be fine. It’s nothing serious. I just wanna punish him for making his mistress cry.” said old man Long.

“You really are a fox,” said Fu Jin.

“Thanks for the compliment,” said old man Long shamelessly, making Fu Jin have no where to vent his ire.

“While we wait for the nice news, let’s treat ourselves to wine that can turn us into vegetables and talk about our youth,” said old Man Lon.

Fu Jin nodded, stared at Theresa and saw that she was calming down.

“Alright! Let’s have a drinking contest. Whoever wins will become a servant to the little Theresa for seven ears.” said Fu Jin.

“Fine, but don’t you regret later,” said Long Hua Ming as he brought out of his storage ring a big jar of strong wine.

“Now let’s start,” said Fu Jin as both sat down on the chair he had brought out from his storage ring.
