Chapter 21: Chapter 21

"Say, my dear concubine, how about we play this game? So long as I kiss your lips you can be untied but... if you refuse..." the man waved the whip at her.

"So my dear, what do you say? How do we play this game?" he asked with an evil smirk on his lips.

"I will never bed you!" shouted Theresa as she continued to struggle trying to break free even though she knew it was impossible.

"Beauty, I didn't say that I want to bed you but kiss you. Your so petite and fragile and I can't bear to hurt you, so I wanna let you go on the basis that you give me a kiss." he explained in an amused manner.

"My gosh! This guy changes his thoughts so fast. However, only my husband is eligible for that." thought Theresa.

This was really a hard decision. Just a kiss and he'll let her go right? But then how can she be sure that he will not bed her once she agrees? If she refuses, she'll be whipped. What to do now?

'I can't wait for much longer, my dear. My little brother is waiting for your answer" said the man impatiently.

Theresa wondered. Where is this little brother of his? Is he crueler than this big guy or is he kind?

"You have a little brother?" she asked hopefully. She is willing to latch on to the hope that his little brother wouldn't be as wicked as this big devil here.

"Oh, my little brother? You really wanna see him now?" the man asked excitedly.

"I'd like to see him," said Theresa.

"Ok then!" immediately, the man tore off his pants to reveal his naked lower body right in front of Theresa.

"How's he? Do you like him? Is he big enough to your taste?" the man asked.

Theresa was shocked and then began to scream while closing her eyes. Geez! What had she landed herself into? Why did she not know that his little brother was 3 inches down his belly bottom?

She is in big trouble. She had just asked him to bed her unknowingly and against her true wishes. Ah, no wonder they say ignorance kills and curiosity kills the cat. Was she gonna die here for her stupidity?

"Why are you screaming? You were so eager to see him just now. Open your eyes, he's here to see you," said the man.

'Big guy, can't you see my expression? I am a virgin girl who has decided to only see a man's naked body on her wedding night. What is this then? Ren, come save me please.' Theresa thought, close to tears now.

Seeing that this little beauty did not want to look at him any further, he became enraged.

"Fine then, whether you want to see him or not, you will have a taste of his power even if you bleed to death." he finally said before picking 3 more whips and tying them together.

"Take this" he yelled before landing the whips on her shoulders. Theresa was forced to open her eyes due to the pain. She wanted to scream but found that she couldn't. Her voice had been sealed. She could only weep silently as he lashed her even more.

"Long Ren, I beg you, wherever you are, come to save me." thought Theresa weakly. She had long bowed her head and closed her eyes resigning to fate.

5 minutes later.

The whipping still continued and it seemed this mighty guy would never stop.Theresa had fainted and re-awoken 3 times now but there was no sign that this torture would end nor any sign of her annoying pet. Theresa's whole body had been bruised all over except her face.

"Beauty, you still will not relent? Fine, continue in your suffering." the huge guy said to her, unsealing her voice and burning the ropes with which he tied her to the pole to ashes.

Every cultivator in Luo Ye had the fire element. Only the geniuses had another element or two added to their fire element.

This man's fire was small but still powerful towards a non-cultivator like Theresa as it burned many parts of her flesh before going out. Theresa after being loosened from that pole, crashed to the ground.

Since her voice had been unsealed, she could finally scream out all her grievances. It was a pitiful one but this sounded like a melody to the man.

"What do you girls treasure the most? Your beauty, right? Without your beauty, how could you have made me senseless? Since you hate me kissing you so badly and slapped me, I will take away your beauty." he said loudly his big chest heaving up and down.

"Make sure you remember the name of the one who did this to you. I am Li Chen" He gathered a ball of fire and brought it closer to Theresa's face.

"Let's see how well you smell when roasted." the man thought as an evil smirk finally found its way to his lips again.

"Ren, save me," Theresa muttered.

"Did I not tell you not to mention any man's name before me?" he asked angrily, the earlier smirk gone from his face.

"Ren... save me," she muttered again, not caring how ugly the man's face was turning. Her voice was getting weaker. Her usually bright eyes had lost their sparkle. Was she finally going to die here? At least, she'd be even with the rest of the other passengers that died from the plane crash.

"Mum, Dad, please take care. I am finally going to leave you forever. Han Fei Fei, I couldn't fulfill your wish. Marabelle, my bestie, please go on with your lives without me. Live well all of you." she muttered weakly before finally breathing her 'last.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Long Ren was in the beast market somewhere in a village called Qi Le. That mistress of his asked for a live bear but what kind, she never specified, so he was going to buy a baby bear and an adult bear.

Ater that, he'd look for a giant crab. Ren did not care about exposing the fact that he had a storage ring to the people in the area after all they were all considered ants in front of him. Releasing just a bit of his power would send them on their knees.

However, there were some ignorant idle men who wanted to get Long Ren's storage ring at all costs. They were 4 in number and all had the same height- 6 ft tall.

They were tailing him but Ren who knew about it, did not mind. He did not need to raise a finger before they meet Yama. He entered into a store that sold some small birds of middle-level rank.

These birds are very handy in sending letters and sneak attacking enemies. They were also beautiful and could sing really well, so it was mostly owned by girls.

"I hope mistress will like my gift," he thought as he inspected all the species of birds in cages. The shop owner welcomed him warmly and introduced the pets to him. He wanted to preach about their usefulness when Ren raised his hand, signifying that he wanted silence. The man quickly nodded with a smile.

"Give me that one," Ren finally found the perfect one for Theresa. It was a small bird yet it had many colors.

"Oh, you've made the right choice. You see this one is the..." the man was once cut short again when Ren asked him to be silent.

"This customer is really difficult. How can I make more money off him?" he thought sadly. But he still put on a brilliant smile on his face.

"Here!" Ren said as he threw one gold coin at the shop owner and then kept the bird in his storage ring.

"Have a nice day," Ren finally said before exiting the store.

Outside the shop, he saw the 4 men who had been tailing him earlier.

"My fellows, I finally get to see your faces. State your desire." said Ren impatiently.

"Give us the ring" one of them dressed in yellow said.

Ren had the thought of using his dragon bone whip on them but then he felt his right wrist glow a red light and he felt pain at his chest. There was only one thought in his mind.

His mistress! His mistress is in danger again and from what he felt she is fighting for her very life.

"You are lucky," Ren said before disappearing right in front of them leaving them and the shop owner shocked. They thanked the heavens that they did not provoke that man further or else they'd have been killed by now.

Meanwhile, Ren had appeared at the market where his mistress went out exploring. From the news he got, he was able to trace her to a certain hut. He felt his chest getting much more painful. He swore that whoever hurt his mistress would face his eternal wrath.

Ren opened the small door of the hut and saw a small hole. There's a secret door on the ground but only Theresa's torturer knows how to open it. Ren did not bother to find out. He immediately transformed into his fox form and jumped into the hole.

"Mistress, hold on. I am coming" he muttered as he kept falling down the hole.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Li Chen (the man who has been torturing our female lead) had currently placed Theresa on the old bed on the floor of the pavement.

"Bitch, whether dead or alive, you must taste my little brother and I must taste your fruits." the man thought as he started removing the belt on her waist. After that, he opened the outer garment which revealed the inner thin layer and finally the cloth wrappings around her chest

The man gasped when he saw the white 'peaches' before him.

"Wow!" he exclaimed in delight.

"Who knew that such flat chested, petite beauty like you had these long nipples. I shall bite, suck and eat them. Just look at them!" he said, his eyes sparkling at the sight.

He had raped countless girls; mostly the ones who couldn't cultivate but he had never seen anyone like this. Just seeing her nipples made his third leg react. He rubbed his palms together and lowered his head wanting to put one of her nipples into his big mouth when he heard something crash down.

He got annoyed and left what he was doing. What creature dared to disturb him when he's about to enjoy?

"Cursed creature, show yourself!" he barked angrily.

Ren who had fallen into a pile of dirt found his way out and saw the situation. How did it get to this? This Ant dared to strip mistress naked and wanted to eat her?

Why did the danger signal light only at the last minute? He felt so useless. Even if he hadn't fully accepted her as his mistress, at least as her contracted pet, it was his duty to protect her. Now, look at what has happened!

No! No matter what explanation this man has, he shouldn't live past today.

Li Chen, on the other hand, could not believe that it was a fox that dared to disturb him. He ground his teeth as he looked at the snow white fox.

"Such a useless thing had the guts to disturb me? Fine then, taste this. Make sure to scream well. After that, you will become the lady's last meal." Li Chen said as he gathered a ball of fire.

Normally, when foxes especially ones that could cultivate saw this kind of fire, they'd run for their lives but to his surprise, against his expectations, this fox did not run away but rushed towards him baring its little teeth at him.

"Since you want to die so quickly I'll send you to Yama," Li Chen said as he tossed the fire towards the approaching fox.

However, what he expected did not happen. The fire ball did not get close to the fox before it went out.

"It seems you have a little skill." he said and then launched this time a bigger fireball while vines from the ground caught hold of the fox.

Ren was caught unawares. He could not believe that this man had the green (vegetation or nature) element. This is a genius and yet instead of getting into a good sect, he's here raping pretty girls weaker than him. The fire hit Ren but it only sent him crashing back to the walls of the basement. Ren got up again and walked out of the smoke, stunning the man again.

"What kind of fox is this" wondered the man.

As if answering the man's question, Ren finally transformed back to his human form. The dragon bone whip left his waist and began to levitate in mid-air.

"You... you..." the man began to stutter.

He knew there were divine animals capable of changing into human form and there was one right now in front of him. And to worsen the situation, he had greatly offended him. He also recalled something.

"Could this be..." he looked towards the unconscious lady lying defenseless on the bed and back at the expressionless person before him.

"You dare hurt my mistress?" Ren asked in a low yet firm voice.

"Mistress?" Li Chen muttered. This had confirmed his fears. This lady who could not cultivate actually had such a powerful pet! What to do now?

"My lord, this is a misunderstanding," he said fearfully.

"You wanted her to taste your dirty little brother?" Ren asked.

"No, no no. It isn't like that," the man defended.

"I don't have time to waste. Ju Wei, deal with him." Ren finally stated before disappearing and appearing where Theresa was.

His back was facing her and he cast a spell which he sent to her body. Light covered over Theresa's body and her body began to levitate slowly with petals flying all around her. Ren sighed when he finally turned to see her. Though she was now clothed, her disguise had been removed and her true body was clear to see.

The beauty before him was his mistress. It was this beauty that got him aroused at first sight and now, it was revealed before him again. If this beauty is found by the emperor of any country, who would guarantee that he wouldn't drive away all his concubines for her?

"She is a calamitous beauty." Ren thought as he cast another spell which he sent into her heart region. Theresa's life was still in danger so he must save her life first. After she wakes up and fully recovers, he will teach her cultivation.

So with this in mind, both disappeared leaving the trembling Li Chen who was still kneeling and sweating heavily.His heart was beating very fast and he feared that he would actually die out of fear if this continued. He had long forgotten that he was naked from his waist down. All he thought of now, was how to save his life!

He looked at the levitating whip still in mid-air that that person left behind. Could he be able to escape it? He did not need to wait for an answer as the whip began to glow and emitted red light. It separated from the whip and then formed the shape of a human. When the light dimmed, it revealed Ju Wei, spirit of the mighty dragon bone whip.

"I was having my beauty sleep but a certain someone forced me out." Ju Wei yawned and stretched his hands lazily. He then turned to the shocked Li Chen.

"What's this? Why are you naked? Wait! You are a cut sleeve? Ah, that's... your cock looks disgusting. So you woke me up from my beauty sleep just to see this nonsense?" Ju Wei asked angrily.

Li Chen tried to speak but found out he had lost his deep voice. He became very afraid. This dragon bone whip belonging to that person actually had a spirit and though it seemed lazy, he had a feeling that this spirit though he looks harmless is a devil in sheep's clothing.

Heavens, what had he landed himself into? There's also the possibility of his whole family being wiped out by this spirit. Just feeling the little aura that Ju Wei released when he appeared, he already peed on himself.

It was Ju Wei's words just now that made him realize that he was bare. He's making things worse for himself. He had never been this clumsy in life before. Now he regretted kidnapping that petite girl. If he knew she had such powerful backer, there's no way he'd ever dream of even speaking to her.

Ju Wei watched the terrified big guy with interest and then smiled at him. His smile was so charming that it'd make girls line up just to have him smile at them. But however, this same smile sent several chills down Li Chen's spine.

"You are very interesting, Li Chen. You dare try to rape my master's mistress. You ruined her delicate skin and beauty, you tortured her till she almost died. But despite that my master told me to take care of you. Isn't he a generous person?" Ju Wei asked the trembling Li Chen.

"Nod if you agree and shake your head vigorously if you disagree" Ju Wei added as he placed his hands behind his back.

Li Chen was left in a dilemma.

When that guy let this spirit to take care of him, he knew things weren't gonna be good and now this same spirit is asking whether his master is generous or not. If he agrees, he'll be tortured. If he disagrees, who knows what will be done to him? So Li Chen chose to remain silent and do nothing.

"I take your silence as a yes. Do you know who my master is?" Ju Wei asked, a smile still on his red lips

Li Chen shook his head. By this time, he was sitting on his heels with both hands placed on his third leg.

"Since you don't know, before we begin our training session, I will gladly answer you. He is Lord Long Ren from the forbidden mountain. Please, my dear student or should I say...victim, remember this name as long as you can possibly live," Ju Wei advised.

When Li Chen heard the name 'Lord Long Ren', his face paled even more.

Lord Long Ren!

Who hasn't heard of that name? The proud fox lord that has killed 50,00 cultivators because of his refusal to have any master! But now, he had a master who couldn't cultivate?

What is going on today? Everything just went badly for him. What could he really do to minimize his suffering in the hands of this evil spirit?

Run? Apologize till his mouth went dry? No! This spirit must detest those two things. While he was still thinking of what to do, Ju Wei woke him up from his thoughts.

"First, before the training session, you must be at the same level as my master's mistress." Ju Wei said.

He did not wait for Li Chen to try to make gestures signifying whether he wanted to be crippled or not. He just walked close to him and blew some hot hair onto his face and everywhere began to spin in Li Chen's head and then in less than a minute, he dropped to the floor unconscious.

"Not bad!" Ju Wei commented.

"Now, let us go look for a nice place to have our training session," said Ju Wei before disappearing with the whip and the unconscious Li Chen.

Forbidden mountain.

Inside a cave, hidden by thorny, red vines were two people- a male and a female. It was Ren who was carrying Theresa bridal-style.

Theresa was getting weaker by the minute and if he doesn't reach his sanctuary in time, Mistress might die.

Now he regretted setting so many traps in his own lair. He had gotten caught in three of his traps which took him five minutes to free himself from. Now, this was the final one which was, to swim through a lake containing water resistant sulfur underneath.

If it was just him, he'd be in his sanctuary by now but now he's got a mistress who couldn't even cultivate and is currently hanging unto her life by a thread.

Ren after some thought, put her inside his storage ring and crossed the lake carefully avoiding all the places that had traps in them.

When he finally crossed the lake, what came to his view was a beautiful house that looked like it belonged to a rich man but it was actually his. Ren disappeared and reappeared in one of the rooms where he stored medicines.

These medicines were the ones he either collected from the forest, refined and stored or the ones collected from the dead cultivators who died by his hands.

He brought Theresa out of the ring and placed her on a long table gently. He then checked her pulse and felt her forehead.

Ren sighed in relief. He was lucky. There's still hope of her survival.

"Mistress, hold on for a little longer. I will save you. I'm sorry! I couldn't arrive in time," Ren muttered as he kissed Theresa's right hand and bit it hard. This made Theresa react a bit groaning subconsciously.

"Sorry, mistress, sorry" apologized Ren and then he continued biting her right hand with such force that it began to bleed. When he saw this, he also cut open the flesh at his wrist and let his blood drip into her injured wrist.

"Mistress, I officially accept you... as... my... mistress. Only death shall separate us." Ren said in a weak voice. The moment his blood touched that of Theresa's, it created a spark that resulted in a blast.

Ren got up from where he was flung to and picked a jade bottle containing some pills. He opened the bottle and took out two blue colored pills which he forced Theresa to swallow and then he continued to let his blood drop on Theresa's wrist though this time it created no blast but occasional sparks.

After 8 minutes, he stopped and crashed to the ground weakly. The blood that has been dropping on her wrist formed a circle and turned to light that separated into two beams. One went into Theresa's wrist and the other went into Ren's. He then lay down on the floor breathing heavily.

"Gosh! That was close." he muttered.

They stayed like that for a few minutes before Ren decided to send her back to their new home.He laid her on a bed in another room since his mistress room was still messed up. He later applied a cleaning spell on her before leaving.

~~~~~~~~

Blue dove brothel.

This brothel in Jan Miean village east imperial city was home to 200,000 thousand people.

Of the 200,000 only 600 people were cultivators from the noble families. The rest were mortals who couldn't cultivate. A lot of men like to visit this brothel whether in the day or night, not caring about whether they'd be caught by their wives or family members.

The beauties in this brothel were ever ready to serve even beasts so long as they get money.They love keeping make-up on their faces even when they sleep. They wanna look pretty at all times.

Today in this brothel, there were many more men than usual. There were rumors that fresh flowers had arrived so they were here to see them. These flowers would have to entertain them and wait for someone to buy them to be their concubine.

Before long, a 16-year-old prostitute came out to meet them on the little stage. This petite prostitute was the head of the other prostitutes appointed by the owner.

"My husbands, I've kept you waiting. I apologize. The flowers are ready. I can assure you that they are fresh and ready for use. There is also a furnace amongst them. Only one person can be lucky to have her. I won't keep you waiting." the prostitute whose name is Liang Fei, bowed to them and stepped down the stage while the men applauded.

Three girls covered in veils came out to stage dressed scantily. Their belly, cleavage, long, beautiful legs were exposed to the lustful men. Even if the men couldn't see their faces, they could tell that these fresh flowers were beautiful.

Also one of them happens to be a furnace. A furnace is very important to male cultivators as it can boost up their cultivation when they have sex with the furnace.So many of them there were stuck at their various bottleneck. This was a great chance, who wouldn't want it?

They quietened their voices to watch the fresh prostitutes perform their elegant dance to the end. When they were done with their dance, they retreated out from the stage and the 16-year-old Liang Fei came back on stage.

"So, my dear husbands, what do you think of them?" the girl asked sweetly. The response she got was hearty applause.

"The first fresh flower..." Liang Fei pointed toward the first fresh flower who was dressed in red mini-skirt and a transparent shirt walked forward bowing her head.

"This fresh flower is 2000 gold coins. The highest bidder will get her" Liang Fei said.

Immediately, the impatient men began to bid for her. In less than 3 minutes, her price had risen to 12 thousand gold and showed no signs of stopping. It was at this moment that two figures suddenly appeared on the stage.

It was Ju Wei who is now dressed in female clothes, his hair made into two ponytails.

But this did not hide the fact that he was masculine gender. Their sudden appearance on stage startled the people who after regaining their composure berated them.

"Fellows, I heard there's a nice show today. Unfortunately, I arrived late. So, I decided to bring you a show. One that you will not forget for the rest of your lives." Ju Wei explained after sealing them in the very place they stood.

Ju Wei then pointed to the unconscious Li Chen who was completely bare lying defenseless on the floor.

"You see this guy? He's a fat sheep for slaughtering. This sheep is very lazy so I've brought it here for training before slaughtering. Am I not generous?" Ju Wei asked.

The people all nodded. Who would dare disagree? The moment this unknown devil had appeared, they became rooted in their very seats or on the ground they stood on.

They also could not use their powers or internal energy, nor could any release their aura. He did all this without lifting a finger so why bother to challenge him? Ju Wei seeing that none of them said a word but only nodded, smiled even more brightly.

He then took the dragon bone whip and lashed at Li Chen's back.
