A Tale of Chase and Love s1

“What can be done, old man?” Long Ren repeatedly asked.

“I have told you that it’s very easy to cure the curse. This curse is called ‘sword’ or ‘hate’. Kiss her and she’ll be alright.” said Fu Jin.

On hearing this, alarm bells rang in Long Ren’s head.

“K… K… Kiss?”Long Ren stammered, blinking his eyes three times in quick succession.

“You mean that I…” he stared at the unconscious Theresa who seemed to have become even more beautiful.

How the heck was he going to kiss his mistress when he doesn’t … he’s not even her lover and a beast-man? Wasn’t it also against the rules of the contract for a host to fall in love or have unnecessary body contact with the pet?

Now this Fu Jin recommended by his Grandpa, is blatantly telling him to kiss his mistress?

Long Ren stared at Fu Jin, his mouth opening and closing several times.

“What’s in that tiny brain of yours, Mr. Long?” Fu Jin asked in confusion.

“Didn’t you say I should… k… k… kiss… her?” Long Ren stammered.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“You stupid ass…” Fu Jin cursed as he shook his head.

“I’m a fox, not an ass.” Ren corrected.

“I know. But sometimes I think it’d be better if you’d been born as a little ass.” said Fu Jin, hands akimbo.

“You… tell me why I should kiss my mistress.” ordered Long Ren.

“Err… I think… you should kiss her very passionately. How about I show you how? Come closer my little fox.” Fu Jin beckoned Long Ren but he shook his head and retreated.

“You cut sleeve,” Ren said to him through voice transmission.

“You sure have lots of energy to waste. How ’bout this? You lend me some of your magic energy and I’ll be grateful to you for 2 days?” said Fu Jin.

“No way. Treat my mistress first, you dirty doctor!” Long Ren barked.

“I’ve told you the cure. Just kiss her as passionately as you can. You can kiss her…”

“Just stop talking already” shouted Long Ren in anger and frustration.

He sat on the bare floor and started crying. His tears formed pearls but he recalled to pick them as they fell because Fu Jin’s eyes were currently glistening with a light of greed.

“I put her in this situation. I just wanted to take revenge. I wanted to make her pay.” he cried loudly pulling at his hair after keeping the pearls in his storage ring.

Fu Jin’s mouth twitched and he shook his head.

“Your mistress might be poor and selfish but it’s because she exactly has nothing that she treats you a bit badly as you earlier explained. Look, my boy, you are not the most miserable pet in the whole world. I know you hate being a pet to a weak nobody. But what more can you ask for?

She has the Phoenix roots and is a rare lady in this world. Stop treating her badly. Even if she treats you badly, please bow low to her. You said she turned you into a woman but isn’t it better than being a eunuch?” Fu Jin preached but got silenced by Long Ren’s silencing spell.

“Mr. Fu, how dare you scold me? Your not my Grandpa,” Ren barked.

“Oh, he’s still alive? It seems true that only villains live long,” Fu Jin said through voice transmission.

“You…” Long Ren clenched his teeth resisting the urge to kill Fu Jin.

“Fox, you can’t kill me that easily. Your mistress will not die but she will treat you worse if you do not kiss her now. This curse came into effect from the moment you two started fighting. It’s very rare but not incurable. Do it now.” Fu Jin stated.

Long Ren sighed and rose from the ground. He walked to Theresa and went down on his knees.

“Mistress, I know… I don’t have much to say. But please… don’t hate me for doing this,” Long Ren muttered before bending his head to kiss her forehead.

Then he wiped his lips with his sleeves and got up. The once unconscious Theresa immediately opened her still red eyes and roared. Long Ren immediately retreated 12 steps away from her.

“What… what’s going on?” Long Ren asked in confusion.

“You fool” Fu Jin massaged his forehead.

“Who told you to kiss her forehead? You’re supposed to kiss her hand you ass head,” Fu Jin cursed after Long Ren had lifted the silencing spell off him.

“You didn’t tell me and neither did you stop me. You did it on purpose?” Long Ren barked.

“Shut up little fox!” shouted Fu Jin as he picked up the cauldron and disappeared.

“This…” Long Ren was beyond shocked.

“Little fox, I’m behind you,”

Long Ren turned around and saw a white-haired old man behind Theresa. It was Fu Jin indeed who had changed his hair color. He forced her to sleep by slapping her forehead.

“Long Ren, you’re so stupid,”

“Say that again you pig,”

“I dare not waste my saliva on you, little fox”

“You…” Long Ren flicked his sleeves and vanished from the room returning only after 20 minutes dressed in another outfit but this time it was a peasant’s clothing that he put on.

“Unfilial pet!”

Long Ren looked towards the source of the voice and saw Theresa lying on a wooden bed brought out from Fu Jin’s space ring and eating strawberries.

“You… how…” Ren was at a loss on what to say. Doctor Fu Jin was also nowhere to be found.

“My dad has gone on a journey to find a disciple,” said Theresa with an evil smile that sent chills down Theresa’s spine.

“Mistress…” Ren stammered.

“Kneel!” she ordered.

At once Long Ren knelt in surprise. Another of his fears had come to pass. She eventually took that dirty guy as a father.

Now she has changed. The aura she exhibits is not one to ignore. He knows he’s been digging his own grave all this time. His only wish is for her not to bury him in it.

“I am your mistress. Earlier before now, I’ve been behaving silly letting you take advantage of me. Now my vile self has returned. I will let you train me after I train you.” said Theresa as she threw another strawberry into her mouth.
