A Tale of Chase and Love s1

“Oh, Han Ling’s lackey. You’re quite pretty,” commented Theresa.

“I am glad to see you miss,” Lu Wei said, bowing her head.

“Hey, we’re peers no need to bow,” Theresa advised.

“This lowly one…” Lu Wei didn’t get to finish her words before Theresa stopped her.

“These ancient people think too lowly of themselves. From now on in this house whether human or beast should not refer to themselves as lowly. You’re named Lu Wei right?” Theresa asked as she walked towards Lu Wei who was still bowing her head.

“Yes” replied Lu Wei.

“From now on, you will be my sister. You as my sister, have the right to give others to my pet,” said Theresa as she suddenly hugged a startled Lu Wei.

Long Ren was not happy at this news. Yesterday, she got a mother and today a sister? What then would she get in the evening? A father?

“Who’s your pet?” Lu Wei asked.

“Silly me. I have not told you my name. Call me Theresa or Han Fei Fei and Long Ren is my pet,” said Theresa as she shoves Ren out of his earlier seat and then sat down placing her right hand on the table.

“Mistress, it’s not fair” Ren complained.

“Men and women shouldn’t have close contact,” she answered back.

Ren felt defeated but later cheered up. That’s right! Today was the start of Mistress’ suffering. At this evil thought, he smiled and nodded his head.

“Yes mistress, you are right” acknowledged Ren. He then went to seat beside Ye Feng.

“Now let’s eat,” said Ye Feng with a bright smile.

“But there’s no food on the table,”Theresa stated the obvious fact.

Ye Feng raised her left hand and muttered some inaudible words. In no more than a second, several dishes appeared on the table in order.

“Wow! Mom, you’re the best!” Theresa exclaimed before picking up the chopsticks. “Thank you for the food” she added before eating.

Ye Feng shook her head and started eating about the same time with Lu Wei.

Long Ren, on the other hand, was angry. Look at them eating. There’s definitely meat in their plate but look at his!

Vegetables! He’s a carnivore! He needs meat badly but this evil lady dared to give him vegetables. Seeing that Ren was unhappy, Theresa passed him a bone with little flesh.

“Here, I promised to be good to you; so eat this,” said Theresa. This act of her only helped add firewood to the already escalating fire.

“I’m done. I don’t wanna eat,” he shouted but the others pretended not to hear a word. Seeing that he was ignored, Ren wanted to leave.

“Sit down and watch us. This morning, we three will be your Television” Theresa mind linked Long Ren who did not understand the meaning of television but he did not bother asking.

He sat back down and Theresa passes him another bone with little flesh.

“Eat up, Long Ren” encouraged Theresa. Ren shook his head and pushed the food away.

“Sorry, I’m not hungry,” he replied. His facial expression also showed that he was jealous.

16 minutes later.

Long Ren had snatched his mistress away from the two heart thieves and had brought her to the medicinal herb hall.

The medicinal herb hall is very large and has several branches in all of Luo Ye kingdom. Theresa could see many go in and come out.

“Wow! Just like those novels I read where the FL goes to a medicine pavilion. It looks nice.” Theresa thought excitedly.

“Mistress, focus,” Ren scolded her.

Theresa pouted but Ren looked away. They got to the counter to meet the attendant who was a male dressed in white.

“Sir, what would you like to buy?” he asked cheerfully. Theresa could see that he was missing a tooth.

Poor guy!

“Do you have an aspirin?” Theresa asked.

“Young miss, what herb is that?” the attendant asked, confused.

“Oh, I forgot that I’m in an ancient world. You clearly don’t have aspirin here. What about coke or sprite? I’m thirsty.” said Theresa.

“My young friend, please don’t mind my sister. She’s had mental illness since 10,” Ren said to the attendant who nodded his head in understanding.

“Okay, so what do you need?” he asked.

“Meridian opening potion. The very best one you have,”Ren stated.

Hearing this the attendant’s eyes lit up.

“Just a minute,” they heard an old man who just rushed to the counter say.

“What are your orders sir,” the attendant asked.

“Give me dragon fruit, Queen of devil flower and nothingness leaf,” the old man ordered.

“Heard you,” the attendant said before disappearing which shocked Theresa.

“Wow! It seems everyone here can vanish at any time they want,” she exclaimed.

Ren felt like beating his mistress to stupor. Can’t she be quiet and observe her surroundings with her eyes?

“Mistress, behave,” Ren mind linked her.

“Okay, Ren, I’m just excited.” she explained to him through telepathy.

“Whatever!” Ren muttered.

“My daughter, do you have some money with you?” asked the old man who is dressed in green robes. He has a waist reaching red hair and a small beard and mustache.

“Don’t worry, my brother sleeps and bathes in money. He’ll pay,” said Theresa as she winked at an unhappy Ren.

“You…” Ren could not finish his statement because the old man had already started to kowtow while blessing him loudly, attracting the attention of others.

Ren felt disgusted at the sight of this hypocritical old man. He really felt like kicking him in the butt but what about mistress? He already had only a tiny position in mistress’ heart as Ye Feng and Lu Wei already snatched the other top positions.

He is the most miserable contracted beast on this continent.

“Get up,” Ren commanded the old man.

“Yes, yes… thank you, my son,” the old man said.

The attendant reappeared with the ordered goods and placed them on the counter.

“The goods are delivered please pay up,” he said politely. The old man pointed at Ren.

“He’ll pay,” the old man said.

Ren nodded and dropped a pearl on the counter.

“Payment for mine and his,” Ren stated before snatching the bottle from the counter and putting it inside his storage ring.

“Mistress, we’re done here. Let’s go home now” said Ren.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
