A Tale of Chase and Love s1

The man had shoulder-length red hair, pale brown lips, was tall and muscular and fairly handsome. But the aura emanating from him wasn’t good despite his smile.

“Argh! You again? Gosh, why can’t you give us a break. I know you’ve been following us since last week now you appeared before us with what intention?” Lan complained.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

She wanted nothing more than for him to vanish this instant.

Li Hua was more accommodating.

Putting on a tired smile, she invited him in.

“Why have you visited us lonely girls’ little abode? Do you need any help?” she asked as politely as she could possibly be.

The man in question is… Paul! This guy is dressed in money; expensive clothes, wristwatch, shoes, even the perfume was a limited edition, but his eyes looked pitiful.

How could they forget him? He personally tasted their powers. Was he here for revenge or what?

“Actually, boss told me to keep an eye on you two just in case you were in danger. I followed you around and now my life savings are finished.” he shamelessly said.

“Oh, you’re telling me that despite the expensive brand of clothes and accessory you are wearing, you are very poor and can’t afford to buy noodles?” Lan stated, anger rising in her chest.

“Yes, it’s like that.” he scratched his head.

“You… then go sell the stuff on your body and you’ll become rich again. Why would you come squat with us here? We’re both managing this place and have no food to eat. Don’t come make life harder for us.” Lan thundered.

“Miss Lan, I’m assured that you are a kind lady. Surely you can’t see me in rags that barely cover my manhood and shivering at night outside with no where to lay my head, can you?” Paul spoke ‘hopefully’, further annoying Lan.

This man was her nemesis!

“Just go sell your services or your body. Leave us alone!” Lan barked.

What the hell!

He is a hacker/ investigator and bodyguard to Clark Williams, even his shoe cleaners are envied by all and many would like up for such a job and yet he, this Paul, is saying that he’s poor.

She’d rather believe that pigs have 8 packs than his codswallop.

“How can you say that? I’m a young virgin boy that doesn’t know anyone here. How can you be so heartless to sell me away. These clothes were lent to me by a stranger. You know I was kidnapped and managed to escape naked. You know, there was nothing on me. I… it was a shameful time. It was night when I made it to town. *sniffs* But I had to hide. A good man passed and gave me his long shirt that barely covered my thighs. It was such a big shirt, such that when we were out in the open, the cunning wind raised it up and my naked body was feast for all. Could you believe some gays said I’d make a good bottom? Life’s so hard on me. I really have nothing. *kneels* Please don’t push me away.” he begged ‘tearfully’.

At this moment, Lan swore that she wanna kill him. This human was so annoying!

“Lan, calm down.” Li Hua softly spoke, pacifying Lan who was about to erupt.

‘He’s such a good actor’ she thought.

“We actually need a houseboy. Up for the job?” Li Hua said with a meaningful smile that was in effect saying ‘Boy, can you accept this challenge? Can your pride take it?’

“Will I be fed, housed and given some money?” he asked.

“We’ll feed and house you but no salary for you.” Lan stated.

‘that’s right! go away you evil man!’ Lan thought.

Paul thought for a while and agreed to their surprise.

“So what’s my first task?” he asked eagerly.

“Your first task is to eat our shit!” Lan was really unhappy.

“So long as it tastes delicious,” Paul wasn’t worried.

He had to harness the demon residing in these two little brats or else by the time his boss is found, the earth would have been ruined!

He didn’t want that. Their escapades were getting bigger.

“Calm down, little sister.” Li Hua spoke softly.

Turning to Paul, she took out 5 yuan and gave it to him.

“Err… what to do with this?” Paul asked in confusion.

“Go buy yourself some clothes and some sweet snacks. Then bring us some soup with rice and meat. Go now, hurry!” Li Hua ordered.

“But this isn’t enough!” Paul complained.

“Who’s the master here and who’s the dog?” Lan thundered. “Sell those clothes and buy us food. HURRY!”

“Yes, I agree,” Paul rose and ran out of the apartment.

“This punk, what’s his agenda?” Lan wanted to burn Paul to death.

“I guess the days of peace are gone for now.” Li Hua sighed. “Go to sleep. Go to sleep,”

“I can’t!”

“Then let Jiejie sing you a song.” Li Hua offered.

“Okay,”

5 days later.

Luo Ye.

At Theresa’s home.

The secluded room was well decorated and it seemed like there was a happy occassion going on. Guess what it is?

Everyone is seated on chairs made with straw and timber, dressed richly. The stars of this occassion are

Clark and Aarti Williams!

Both are in matching red robes and Aarti looked like a sixteen year old lass. Doctor Fu Jin and Long Ren’s Grandpa had showered her praises and gifts to no end.

Bai Lu Chen and Ju Wei provided music, while Marabelle, Aarti and Long Ren served the food. Theresa, who is dressed in a white robe with red belt and scarf was the dancer for the occassion and her body was clearly better in flexibility and grace. Occassionally, her parents joined her and hugged her.

“Clark, this week spent here has made me realize that life isn’t all about riches and technology. Look at us, everyone here. Look at our Theresa! She’s happy and I am happy too. If possible, I’d like to stay here with my baby forever. I wanna see her get married, have children… I also like the feeling of flying hehe!” said Aarti telepathically to Clark.

Well, if you got questions, let me do some explanation. During the past few days, Clark has been forced into the road of cultivation. His speed is that of an average person for now.

It was painful but he bore with it and now, he looks like 30 without a beard. His clothes cannot hide the muscles and packs. Aarti has reached Foundation level 1 to everyone’s surprise and Long Ren bestowed on her a fitting technique named ‘Love illusion’.

This technique is for females who are above 30 with flexible body. It consists of moves that seem to be a dance but in effect deadly if the right strength is used. Aarti though has only learned the basics and can only continue when she returns to Earth.

So the sum total of this is; Clark and Aarti are now among the crew of cultivators. Now they can telepath. So back to story.

Today is Aarti and Clark’s marriage anniversary and so they decided that now that they were still together, they should do it in an all new way, that’s why there is this happy occasion.

Theresa has finished dancing and ran down the stage to her parents to hug them and then kissed both their cheeks.

“Papa, Mama, I love you so much. I want to be with you forever,” she began to weep.

“Silly child! You’d still be taken by your future king but we can promise to help you beat him up if he pisses you off.” said Aarti.

“No, I mean, can you stay here with me? The days without you and my bestie…” Theresa’s sobs increased, alerting the others.

“Daughter, who bullied you?”

“Mistress are you alright?”

“Little one, what’s the cause of your tears?”

“Bestie, what happened?”

Doctor Fu Jin, Ju Wei, Long Ren, Bai Lu Chen, Long Hua and Marabelle asked at the same time.

Theresa shook her head and wiped her tears.

“Nothing! I’m just crying… tears of happiness. I’m so happy!” she said in a hoarse voice.

“If you are sad, just say it, Mistress. I can feel it from our bond.” said Long Ren.

“I felt it first!” Bai Lu Chen cut in.

“Liar, I’m a spirit, I felt it first!” Ju Wei cut in too.

In no time, the good show started. These three guys were pulling each others hair again. Docotr Fu Jin sighed and drank his wine while Long Hua Ming simply ate as much as he could.

“You three are really disobedient. How old are you? What’s your job? The priority? The titles you possess are undeserving. I might be your little kid when it comes to age but in terms of sense, I’m far away from you three. Grow up will you?” Clark lectured. The trio stared at each other and ran towards Theresa.
