A Tale of Chase and Love s1

Lu Wei and Ye Feng felt their hearts nearly jump out of their chests when they saw Theresa faint. They immediately rushed to her.

Ye Feng raised Theresa’s upper body and knelt behind her. Lu Wei knelt in at Theresa’s right and helped hold her shoulders.

Seeing that all was set, Ye Feng placed her palms on Theresa’s back and faint yellow rays emitted from them making Lu Wei gasp. It meant that Ye Feng had three elements- fire, healing, and vegetation.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Such a person was very hard to find. Lu Wei recovered from her shock and continued holding Theresa by the shoulders.

5 minutes later.

Ye Feng had carried Theresa at her back and was taking her to her room. Lu Wei had reached the room a minute ago and got the bed ready for Theresa to lie on.

When Theresa was gently laid on the bed, her face began to emit yellow rays of light and slowly the rays spread down to her waist and finally her whole being.

Ye Feng and Lu Wei backed away due to the intense brightness. When the rays finally died down what greeted them was a shocker.

The former girl whom they carried to the room could be considered a beauty but this one here was the one all goddesses of beauty would bow to. Theresa’s face had become refined than when she was in the luxurious public bathhouse.

Even if her mother saw her, she wouldn’t recognize her. Theresa’s face had become whiter and her skin could be described as flawless. Looking at those sexy, plump red lips, even Lu Wei felt tempted to kiss them. She had to slap herself to come to reality.

“Wow! My daughter is so … I’m speechless,” Ye Feng facepalmed. She was also worried for Theresa.

The current goddess of beauty is Han Chunhua, the emperor’s favored imperial concubine. If the emperor were to find Theresa with this face, it is possible that he might even drive away all his concubines and make her empress.

Yes, beauty is good, but it is also bad. No wonder, she had to disguise her beauty.

Theresa’s hips had reduced to 68 inches which is considered a good improvement. Ye Feng shook her head and decided to give Theresa a massage with her special oil.

“Mother, this queen must be protected,” Lu Wei said with determination.

“Of course as my daughter, I’m gonna protect her. Even if it means fighting with the emperor,” Ye Feng chipped in.

“Err… mother, are you and the emperor a match? Even if the emperor is rarely seen, but, from the tales I heard from my Papa, the emperor is very powerful. No one except the Fu brothers can defeat him.” Lu Wei said worriedly.

“I can kick his dirty butt if he dares lay a hand on my child,” said Ye Feng with bloodshot eyes.

Lu Wei was scared when she saw them and excused herself.

“Mother can sometimes be scary.” Lu Wei thought as she closed the door.

When Ye Feng saw that her other daughter had left, she sighed and began to undress Theresa for the massage.

Theresa woke up once during the massage but then went back to sleep with a sigh of contentment. It feels really good to have someone care about you. Theresa had gone into a beautiful wonderland where she dreamed about Dorothy reviving and carrying out her wish.

Author note: “Note that Dorothy is Theresa’s future system that had shut down due to Theresa’s inability to cultivate. The system will automatically revive when she reaches the Foundation builder stage.”

4 hours later.

Theresa’s room.

She is currently in La-la land, dreaming about her future system, Dorothy fulfilling many of her wishes and making life here in this dimension easier for her.

As she was about to receive another of her wish, which was a bowl of refined popcorn, she felt her body go cold suddenly. Her wonderful dream vanished quickly, stunning her.

Theresa opened her eyes to see Long Ren standing beside her bed, on the right with a small wooden bucket that is currently half filled. Even though Long Ren could see that she had opened her eyes, he still poured more chilly water that he’d fetched from the pool, on her head, drenching her from head to thigh.

Theresa clenched her hands into fists underneath the blanket and tried to hold herself back from punishing him with periods. However, it could be seen from her eyes that she was at the verge of tearing Ren to pieces.

“How…. dare… you?” she thundered finally.

“Mistress, you seem so forgetful. I thought I told you before my short departure that you will officially cultivate tonight. I’ve tried waking you up with a stick but you didn’t budge so I used water,” Ren explained.

Theresa sized him up and saw that he was now wearing scholar clothes. His current demeanor, however, doesn’t match the clothes.

A scholar should be humble and virtuous but Long Ren has never been any of both. One could say that Long Ren would be the shame of the scholars. He would be like mud in clean water.

Theresa reluctantly got down from the bed and put on her shoes. Her clothes had been changed 4 hours ago by her mom, Ye Feng after the massage so the shoes, of course, were a new pair.

Theresa arranged the wet blanket and stared at Ren. He smiled and then pointed his index finger at her. Faint red light emitted from his index finger and Theresa felt her hair and clothes dry up.

After 2 minutes, Ren put down his finger and left the room. Theresa walked after him uncertain of what she’d face next.

************

In the secluded room.

Theresa sat in Budha pose according to Ren’s instructions.

“Clear your thoughts, mistress,” Ren ordered.

“Ok.” Theresa replied along with a nod. She exhaled deeply and freed her thoughts.

“Now, I leave you to your uncertain fate. See you tomorrow. Even if you have a broken leg or ruined spinal cord, for sure, I promise to still call you mistress,” Long Ren said finally before disappearing.

Theresa did not mind his words and closed her eyes. That pet is really of no use in helping one learn cultivation. It’s a good thing she’s read lots of cultivation novels or else she’d be mopping at the ceiling completely at a loss on the next step to take.

Theresa raised her hands a little high above her knees, making her look like an earnest beggar. She tried to sense everything around her even the ants.

What Theresa didn’t know was that it took a week or two for an average cultivator to sense qi and a genius cultivator took 3 or 4 days. But as for trash, two months was already a blessing if they did sense qi.

Also, there could be a backlash if one doesn’t control the sensed qi properly, resulting in either broken legs, broken spinal cord, blindness, loss of memory, crippled dantian or the inability to hear and speak.

This is why it is very necessary to have a teacher by one’s side in this critical stage. Long Ren did not think that Theresa would even sense qi even if she’s a genius, soon-to-be cultivator.

He just wanted her to stay awake all night in vain.
