A Tale of Chase and Love s1

Forbidden forest’s river.

This river is located very deep in this forest and the area can get pretty scary at night. One would hear the sound of so many animals both pleasant and scary. One wouldn’t be able to sleep at night either.

During the day, it is always beautiful scenery and makes one want to build his house right there and then. Tonight, there are no animals from the weakest to the strongest in this area.

A heavy wind had begun to blow and thunder struck when the two moons of Luo Ye met, just above the peach tree that grew in the middle of the water. It was a spectacular sight as the water began to bubble and turn slightly blue under the moonlight.

Three figures; Theresa, Marabelle and Long Ren appeared at this moment near the river bank and also the casket containing the corpse of Aarti, was in front of them.

Long Ren held the golden chest and despite the brightness from it, he took out the object causing the bright lights and it dimmed at once.

As he had earlier said, it was a flower. This flower that had nine petals which in turn have nine colors: pink, red, yellow, purple, black, green, orange, blue, white. It could be either refined into a pill or the essence extracted out and made into soup.

Long Ren threw the chest on the ground and unsealed the lid of the first casket and then opened the second casket that contained Aarti’s body.

“Your mother is really a queen. She’s so beautiful. I bet your dad must be handsome too.” he praised, then stamped his right foot on the ground and rose in the air and flew high up to the night sky until his body became a tiny dot to Theresa and Lu Wei.

The two moons of Luo Ye met and passed by each other. For the few seconds that the two moons met, Long Ren was able to activate the nine colors of the nine petals of the flower and they shone brightly and emitted great heat.

If Long Ren wasn’t a fire cultivator or didn’t have the green fire in his body, then he would have become a meat patty but he struggled to hold the flower and descend quickly.

While descending, he brought out a pot and placed the flower inside and then covered the pot with a lid shutting off the blinding light, blistering heat and fragrance of the flower.

On landing, he placed the pot on the casket’s open lid and gathered his low-grade green fire with his right hand and the earth fire which has two flames, one grey and the other red, intertwined.

He then slowly brought the two fires together and merged them right above the pot for 3 minutes and then with his right hand he opened the pot’s lead. What came out was thick smoke and no dazzling light or fragrance.

Long Ren then brought out a clay pot from his space ring and made it fly to the river to fetch the bubbling water and then fly back half filled.

He used the pot’s lid to get some water from the clay pot and our it into the pot containing the flower and then he put the pot’s lid down on the ice casket’s lid. He bit his right thumb and placed it above the pot. Blood dripped down from his thumb into the pot and then Long Ren covered the pot again.

Theresa and Marabelle only watched with anxiety in their eyes. They dared not say a word to mess this up.

Long Ren took the pot with the right hand; the merged fires was still atop it controlled by his left hand and then slowly turned to look back at the two moons of Luo Ye.

“I, Long Ren, a little subject and a nobody would like to save someone. Grant my wish, Heavens.” he chanted and then he walked to the river bank, levitated in the air and dived into the river startling Theresa and Marabelle.

“W… What just happened? He dived into this bubbling river with the fires and pot. Wouldn’t our efforts go to waste then?” Marabelle asked in worry.

“Relax! He won’t disappoint.” Theresa said.

Suddenly, a girl appeared in front of them.

“Who are you?” Marabelle asked. She’s no longer shocked because of seeing people appear and disappear.

“Me?” the girl pointed to herself.

“Who else came outta thin air just now then? Of course, I am talking to you” said Marabelle sarcastically.

“You…” the girl turned to face Theresa.

“I’m Princess Wang Jiao of Cherry kingdom.” she introduced herself.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yeah! Now the witch introduces herself. Pei,” Marabelle spat.

“Buddy, be calm. We’ve got more important issues here.” Theresa scolded.

“Yeah! You are right. Little girl, please go your way.” Marabelle said.

“Why should I leave? This is my destination. I am here to practice a technique. Care to watch me practice?” Wang Jiao asked with a sweet smile.

“Not really! Some other time.” Theresa said with a small tone of impatience in her voice which Wang Jiao detected.

“What are you guys doing here anyway? You came to… who’s in that casket? What sort of cultivators are you? Demon cultivators? What are you doing with a helpless corpse?” Wang Jiao threw questions at them and put up a guard against them.

Theresa wanted to facepalm.

“First, this corpse isn’t helpless and second, it’s my Mama. Do you get it? Now leave!” Theresa explained in annoyance.

“You really are demon cultivators. You couldn’t even spare your own mom’s body. That’s how dirty your sect is. Taste my fragrance!” Wang Jiao yelled.

With these words, Wang Jiao took out a bottle from her spatial ring that she wore on her right index finger and spread its powder content in the air.

The powder smelled like watermelons but have the effect of making someone blackout. 3 minutes passed but Theresa and Marabelle just stood there watching her every move. She was shocked to see that the powder didn’t even touch Theresa and Marabelle.
