Chapter 26: Chapter 26

Luo Ye also called Fire Country.

Han residence.

Inside a beautiful courtyard, in a very large bedroom, a woman lay on her king-size bed. She is dressed in black today and her make-up is almost scary. Beside her is a man dressed in white. His brown hair is shoulder length and he is wearing black boots.

His main weapon is a spear which is currently lying on the floor.

"Madam, we've been unable to find the culprits. Forgive my incompetence." the man said, head bowed.

"You... so useless. You can't even find some lowly people *sighs* fine..." she threw a red bead at him.

"Take that identification bead and find them. Get me an answer as fast as you can" she barked.

"Yes, Madam!" the man said and then he flew out of the room through the open window.

When she saw he had left, the woman who turns out to be Jin Ehuang got down from her bed.

"Those guards are so useless. They can't even do such a simple task properly," she said and then walked out of the room in haste.

The bead she gave to them is called body identification bead of Ninth grade. This bead had 9 grades and the ninth grade is the highest. This bead is very rare and only powerful families can have it. This bead is used in searching for mysterious people who are very hard to trace. Having this bead will increase the chance of finding them to 80%. It could be said that Jin Ehuang really went all out just to make sure the culprits that harmed her precious Han Ling.

As for whether the culprits will be easily found even with that bead, will be seen later.

Meanwhile, back in Theresa's home, Theresa had already taken her bath in the pool and is currently wearing a pretty nightgown. Ye Feng has just tucked her into bed and had picked up one of the novels that Theresa had bought with Ren's money in the book shop.

"My daughter..."Ye Feng called softly.

"Yes, mum?" answered Theresa in a sweet voice.

"I want to read you this story," said Ye Feng.

Theresa then nodded to show that she was ready for the story.

"In a faraway land called Shen, lived a poor girl named Gu Mei. 3 times a week she would cry at night for no reason..."Ye Feng started to read but was interrupted by Theresa.

"Seems like it's a mystery-thriller story. I'm up for it" she exclaimed.

Ye Feng sighed.

"Daughter, be quiet." she scolded.

"Yes mum," Theresa said while chuckling.

Ye Feng shook her head and resumed reading the story.

6 minutes later.....

Theresa had fallen asleep halfway through the reading and Ye Feng kissed her goodnight and went to her room.

Her room was not as spacious as the one in the former house she lived in but she felt that she had made a good decision to follow Theresa. She had a chance to become a mother again.

She will try her best to recover her former cultivation quickly and take revenge on the Lu family patriarch- that is, the patriarch of the Lu clan that those six men belonged to.

"I shall wait for that day" she finally muttered before sitting on the bed in a meditative pose.

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

Long Ren's room.....

Long Ren's room is the 2nd biggest room in the house. However, there was only a bed, cupboard and lamp inside leaving the room, very spacious.

Long Ren seems to have a love for apples as even though it is already late, he can't sleep without eating an apple. Suddenly, he gasped.

"Heavens, I forgot that Lu Wei is still in my ring," he muttered.

He pointed his right index finger at the ring on his left ring finger and a red light beam shot out of the finger into the ring. In less than a minute, the red light came out of the ring in the tiny shape of a human and grew bigger until it was a normal 15-year-old girl's size then it faded.

What came into view was a very pretty girl. It was Lu Wei but this is a better version of her. Now she's an inch taller, her ink-black hair is longer reaching her hips and she has become prettier.

However, she is currently frozen to the floor. Seeing this, Long Ren smiled and whistled. Immediately, Lu Wei crashed down to the floor.

"Aiyo!" she cried.

She looked at the smiling culprit and surveyed her surroundings. She recognizes him as the one who had an evil whip. He's more powerful than her friend Han Ling.

Gosh! What had she landed her self into?

She looked at her self and found that she was only wearing a thin inner dress that reflected her curves and the roundness of her still-developing peaches. It seems that this man plans to r*pe her.

She began to scream loudly but Long Ren sent a lip sealing spell into her mouth. Seeing this, her eyes widened and she backed away from him. Ren decided to tease her a little bit.

"Dear, why bother to disturb the peace of everyone in this neighborhood? I already made this room soundproof. Screaming is just a waste of time. And also, I see that you do have some small curves" Ren said. His eyes glistened with 'lust'. He then rubbed his beardless chin.

"Such a petite beauty like you... I wonder how delicious your fruits must be. I want to claim you tonight. How do you feel about it? Grateful?" he asked with a wicked smile.

Lu Wei was unable to speak and she kept retreating away from Ren.

"You can't retreat all night. Just relax. I promise that I can be very gentle...that is... before I start thrusting."Ren said in a husky voice.

Bu these words of Ren sent several chills down Lu Wei's spine. She really wished someone could save her.

"You must be itching to see my little brother. Do you know where he lives?" Ren asked.

Lu Wei shook her head signifying her ignorance. Ren then placed his right hand on his groin.

"He is right here with us. You see he cares a lot about you. Can you see him hardening? I think he's ready to service you? How 'bout I bring him out?" Ren teased her. He enjoyed the scared look on her face.

He could swear that she's only an inch away from crying. But then he recalled his Mistress. If she finds out that he did this she would not forgive him.

"I'll stop teasing you now. Don't worry, I'm not a r*pist. I'm a gentleman. Get up and come back inside my ring. There's a lot of qi there. You know its true, right? Tomorrow, I'll take you to see my mistress." Ren said as he beckoned her with his right hand.

"l will come," Lu Wei thought. She got up from the floor and slowly approached him.

She could really sense he was just making fun of her a while ago. Though she is angry, she'd better stay put or she will lose her little head. She knew what he said about the ring was true. She had risen a level while in there and if he is kind enough to put her there again, she'd benefit much for there was a lot of qi there.

"You are really an obedient sheep. I like that. Just make sure to eat well before the slaughter 'cause I only eat fat sheep." Ren said in a further tease.

Lu Wei frowned but did not do a thing.

Ren pointed his right index finger at her and red light beam shot into her forehead. In two seconds her whole body radiated red light which slowly covered her from head to toe and shrunk her to a very tiny size and entered the ring.

Ren then picked a book he had stolen from the bookshop. The book was all about monsters eating women.

"Wow! Finally, a nice book to read" Ren muttered in a low voice.

He put out the lights and started reading the book. As a fox lord, he has an extraordinary vision at night.

5 minutes later, Long Ren fell asleep.

*****

Imperial Palace, Luo Ye.

Han Chunhua had waited for so long tonight but there is no sign of her beloved husband.

Last night also for some reason, the emperor refused to grace her as normal. Tonight he also did not come. She found this extremely strange.

A knock on the door brought her back to reality.

"Come in," she muttered.

The door slowly opened and a maid quickly came in dressed in black.

"Replying to Madam, the 3rd concubine, Zhang Meili, has found favor in the emperor's eyes," said the maid.

Han Chunhua got angry upon hearing this.

"Tell me again, what did the emperor do?" Han Chunhua asked in a loud voice, starling the maid.

"M-Madam... the 3rd concubine was graced by the emperor tonight." the maid repeated, her legs shaking slightly.

"Useless! Why did you not prevent it?" Han Chunhua barked.

The maid remained silent. She was just a maid. How could she dare to stop the emperor? That was a clear death wish that could affect three generations of her family.

'Zhang Meili, just you wait. You finally snatched my own man tonight. Don't celebrate yet. I will show you that I, Han Chunhua, is not one to be played. I'm the Game master and I play games to the finish.' Chunhua thought.

She looked at the trembling maid and smiled.

"Li'er, make sure that any chance of her getting pregnant is ruined. You know what to do," said Han Chunhua.

"This lowly servant thanks Madam for her generosity." the maid curtsied and left quickly, closing the door carefully behind her.

This maid is called Meng Li Fei. She is like a confidant to Han Chunhua. Just now she trembled before Han Chunhua, but in front of others, she is a peacock.

This very maid was the one who quickened Han Fei Fei's death. She was the one who heatlessly tortured Han Fei Fei in the cold palace. Her punishment would come very soon from Theresa.

Seeing that the maid had left, Han Chunhua smiled evilly.

"Zhang Meili, just you wait!" she muttered.

It did not take long for her to hear screams of a lady. She knew it was Zhang Meili being deflowered by her man. It seems her potion has lost the effect. She will find a way to renew the potion.

A yellow bird flew in through her slightly open window carrying a sealed scroll in its beak. Han Chunhua took the scroll from the bird's beak and opened it.

She saw that it was a letter from her mother, Jin Ehuang. She smiled thinking that she had some good words to say. But upon reading it, she frowned.

In less than a minute, she groaned.

"What wicked persons dare harm my Han Ling? Those bastards must pay" she muttered.

She then picked a piece of yellow paper and placed two of her fingers on it. Red light emanated from her fingers and stayed just an inch above the paper for 3 minutes and then she stopped.

She folded the paper and placed it in the bird's beak. The bird immediately flew away. Han Chunhua then called for a male servant to deliver a letter to a store in an unknown alley.

That store was the base of a very powerful assassin organization. Their mission was to find the culprits and bring them to her. She was willing to pay any amount no matter how hefty.
