Chapter 37: Chapter 37

In a secret underground basement, sat 4 people: Lan, Li Hua, Paul Reyes, and Clark Williams.

Paul was doing some research on his laptop while Clark pondered over the information he got from them.

"You two said my daughter is in your dimension called Luo Ye and is your mistress' lookalike?" Clark asked in doubt. How is such a thing possible?

"Yes Sir!" Lan and Li Hua replied in unison.

"So... tell me, how did my daughter go there?"

"We really don't know much but I think that my mistress uses a forbidden technique to summon your daughter. From our little knowledge, such technique results in the loss of life for the summoner if their cultivation is very low. Our mistress suffered a lot in the cold palace." Lan explained.

"So your mistress is late?" Clark asked again.

"Yes. Sir, you don't have to worry too much. Your daughter is safe. She has a very powerful spirit beast called Long Ren as her contracted pet. He's popular in Luo Ye and goes by the title 'Demon Fox Lord Long Ren'. He's feared even by the emperor." Li Hua explained.

"Your story seems true but what were you guys doing inside my child's room?" Clark asked.

"It was an accident. We wanted to teleport to a nearby building. Who knew it would take us here?" said Lan with a sigh.

"I get it. Thieves sure have convincing manners!" Clark concluded with a nod.

"Sir, we are not thieves," Li Hua defended. She was unable to take the insult.

"If you're not thieves, what is your proof? Show me! You have none?" Paul asked, his eyes still on the laptop.

None of them made a move.

"This is my boss' heiress' life and death matter and you two dare make up stuff? How did you get into her room? Who sent you two? Don't test my patience little girls!" an angry Paul thundered.

Immediately, an irritated Lan condensed a fireball and threw it at the laptop which immediately exploded; the impact sent Paul Reyes to the wall.

Li Hua too condensed a fireball and threw it at Paul but he managed to get up quickly and dodge it in time.

"Nice reflexes! See if you can keep doing it." Lan commented before sending out extra two fireballs after Paul.

He dodged the first one easily but couldn't dodge the other. It surrounded him and formed fire chains. Li Hua whistled and the chains began to tighten around Paul.

Seeing this, Clark believed they were telling the truth. If they were thieves, they would have gotten what they want without him finding them.

"Enough! I believe you now," said Clark.

At that, both of them turned to look at Clark. The fire chains disappeared and Paul crashed to the ground; weak and gasping for breath.

Gosh! These two girls are no joke.

"Paul, go get yourself treated and announce that I have stopped the search for Theresa. Even if they find her body whether dead or alive, they shouldn't bother to bring her." Clark said to Paul.

"You two... I want to send you to China, you'll work as cleaners in one of the companies we partnered with. Paul, get Jerry Mccartney to train them before they go there. You two, Lan and Li Hua, unless one threatens to kill you, you are not allowed to use your powers. This is not your world where you fight and kill each other every day. Behave yourselves! While working as part-time cleaners, you'll also do some research on whether my daughter has any hopes of coming back." said Clark.

"She might not come back at all but she might be able to find a way to communicate with you even if it takes long." said Lan.

"Also please don't go about wearing these clothes there. I'll order someone to teach you our code of dressing here," said Clark.

Both of them nodded and Lan rolled her eyes at Paul as if warning him not to underestimate them again.

Luo Ye.

Theresa's home.

Long Ren had dragged Fu Jin from his elder brother's home where he had been drinking. Three days ago, he had a big fight inside the forbidden forest with Fu Tian his brother.

Han Liang has been placed into a casket. He couldn't make it. He died while Fu Tian was trying to revive his cultivation.

Fu Tian and his brother became enemies for life.

Fu Tian revealed all his trump cards to avenge his beloved student but Fu Jin won the fight and in the end, he crippled Fu Tian's cultivation because he had threatened to castrate him.

Now after being chased out by our cursed FL, he had gone to his brother's old place drinking very strong wine and lamenting all his woes. Long Ren had taken him back to the house drunk and placed him on the bed in Ye Feng's former room.

"You better sober up in time or I'll kill you," Ren said to him even though he knew he couldn't hear anything he said. He then vanished.

His mistress is in the secluded room unconscious. On her forehead, a tattoo of a snake and a lotus had appeared.

"Mistress," Ren muttered as he wiped off the sweat on her face with a towel. He sat on the bed beside her and sighed.

He then began to recall their first meeting. He had transferred internal energy into her to stabilize her. Though things became awkward afterward and they began scheming against each other.

From what he sees, he's not really in a bad state just because he's contracted to her. Both of them are proud beings who are unwilling to let their egos be injured.

"Mistress, if your true self does come back this time, I hope we can start all over again and not scheme against each other anymore. Mistress, I made a mistake. I was unwilling to understand what you were going through. I was indeed selfish. to ask you to dissolve the contract. I've given you harsh training in an impolite manner even though it was for your own good. I take advantage of the fact that you have no one to rely on and overstepped my boundaries many times. Maybe this is my karma that this curse came on you; bringing a hidden part out. Mistress..." Ren got off the bed and went down on his knees.

"Mistress, forgive me for any discomfort I caused you. I'm sorry. Mistress I know you cannot hear me now but I'll say this. You were the only woman who could turn me on. You the 1st person I don't have the heart to kill. You are the one who could make me feel shame for the first time in my life. You made me realize many times that one should not underestimate anybody. I've found my soulmate. She's your sister, Mistress, Your Lu Wei. She's also my enemy. But fate has it that, no matter what I do I can never kill her. I..." he couldn't complete what he was saying when Fu Jin suddenly appeared on the other side of the bed carrying a cauldron which he slowly placed on the ground and applauded.

"You may now kiss the bride!" Fu Jin shouted happily.

"You!" Long Ren was embarrassed. He quickly rose up from the ground and put his hands behind his back.

"What a pity! The marriage will not happen," Fu Jin complained.

"It's good you are here. Cure my master now," Ren ordered.

"Fox, I told you that the cure was simple. Just kiss your mistress." said Fu Jin as he fiddled with his hair.

"I know it's not as simple as that," said Ren.

"Fine! I'll treat her but you still have to kiss her and when I say kiss, it must be done passionately, like... like... what should I compare it with? Like your making love to..." he couldn't complete his words because Long Ren had cast a silencing spell on him.

"Old fart, do your job!" Long Ren warned using voice transmission technique.

"Fine!" Fu Jin replied, also using a voice transmission technique.

He touched Theresa's forehead and then brought out a rectangular box from his spatial ring. He opened it and its contents were very long needles that were about 2 to 3 inches long. Long Ren stared at Fu Jin not understanding why he was bringing out those needles.

"I didn't ask you to do acupuncture, old man!" Long Ren barked.

"If you want me to treat her, then be silent. Am I the reason this curse came about?" Fu Jin replied angrily using voice transmission.

"Old fart, don't test my patience," Ren barked.

"Fine!" Fu Jin sighed in defeat.

If he continued fighting with this fox, the auspicious hour to treat Theresa might be lost and he might fall into one of Long Ren's crafty tricks.

Sometime later...

Fu Jin had finished inserting 20 of these needles into Theresa's legs and hands. He then sat cross-legged on the ground, placed his hands on Theresa's forehead and closed his eyes.

His body began to emit yellow rays of light and Long Ren opened his mouth in shock. This Fu Jin was actually a healer and a Healer king at that( i.e someone who is three times stronger than a normal healer. Healers are very helpful during battles but healing drains energy so the healer needs to be high level before healing many at a time.) No wonder he is unmatched in Luo Ye!

The healers are very rare. They do possess the highest potential to become a doctor. The healers are divided into 3 classes namely; the infant stage healer, the flower saint and finally the king healer.

Fu Jin is the one and only king healer here in Luo Ye. A lot of other countries don't even have the flower saint but Luo Ye has them all. The flower saint healer is Ye Feng but she is not known as she hides it from others.

"No wonder Grandpa said only he can treat my mistress." Long Ren thought in wonderment.

The yellow rays of light surrounding Fu Jin soon transmitted slowly into Theresa's forehead. They slowly spread from her forehead down to her neck, shoulders and it slowly continued until it reached her ankles.

Long Ren never being the idle type, brought out a chair on which he sat on and instead of the usual apples and strawberries he liked to eat, he brought out a plate containing chicken that had been roasted.

The smell spread all over the secluded room that even Fu Jin who should be concentrating on healing Theresa opened his eyes and turned his head to see Long Ren eating roast chicken.

The sight of him eating a chicken leg made Fu Jin lose focus completely. He began to drool and the yellow rays surrounding him stopped emitting from his body.

"My dear, this old man hasn't eaten for so long. Spare me a leg, please!"Fu Jin begged with puppy eyes that Long Ren found disgusting.

"Ju Wei?" Long Ren called.

Fu Jin looked all over the room but found no one.

"Who are you calling?" Fu Jin asked in confusion.

Immediately, the whip which was wrapped around Long's Ren's waist became loose and left its position

"If you disrupt my mistress treatment once again, Ju Wei will happily make roast chicken out of you. I must admit that you do have lots of meat." Long Ren threatened using voice transmission technique.

"As a handsome pig, if I have no meat, how can I be desirable to the eyes and be chased by girls?" Fu Jin shamelessly replied in a low voice.

"You..." Long Ren gritted his teeth and pointed at the old man.

"Alright! Let's stop playing. I'll do my job. But recall the ki..."

"Do you want to die," Long Ren barked using voice transmission.

He did not want to make his mistress uncomfortable in any way.

"Everyone will die someday but I gotta see my great-grandchildren first," Fu Jin said as he turned to face Theresa once again and placed his right hand on her forehead.

His body began to emit yellow rays of light again but this time its energy force was much stronger than before.

"Now you're talking!" Long Ren thought as he nibbled on the chicken leg.

An hour later...

Fu Jin's was drenched with sweat from head to toe and his body was trembling but he did not change positions. Long Ren had long fallen asleep after all if Fu Jin decided to escape his whip would help him handle the old man.

After three minutes, Fu Jin opened his eyes and retracted his hand from Theresa's forehead. Her body was emitting faint yellow rays of light and they slowly dimmed when Fu Jin retracted his hand. He removed all the needles from her hands and legs and then placed them back into their box.

"This is the last favor that I'll show that villain," Fu Jin muttered to himself.

He rose up from the ground and looked at the levitating whip and the sleeping Long Ren who slept carelessly.

"Even when our a woman you still don't care about your image." Fu Jin shook his head as he took out a green pill from his storage ring.

"Beauty, wake up!" Fu Jin called out to Long Ren using the voice transmission technique.

Long Ren slowly opened his eyes and looked at Fu Jin.

"You.." Long Ren immediately closed his legs that had been spread apart while sleeping.

"You... you pervert!" Long Ren yelled.

"Kettle calling pot black," Fu Jin said with a smile, further infuriating Long Ren.

"You were looking..."

"Of course I need to look. It's not my fault that you suddenly spread a feast before my eyes,"

"You... are you done curing my mistress?" Long Ren quickly changed the topic.

"Yes and no. I have cured almost all the poisonous qi in her body. To completely get rid of it, just as I told you earlier, you have to kiss her hand after swallowing this pill.

"What pill is this?" Long Ren asked cautiously. He did not fully trust this Fu Jin yet.

"This I called the alliance pill. This pill was passed on to me by my brother for this kind of case. There are only two of these in the world. I have one and he has one. You should consider yourself lucky. Once you swallow it, you have to kiss her hand and neck."

"You said just the palm, why include the neck? Will you include her mouth and butt also?" Long Ren asked him with a raised eyebrow.

"It would be nice if you could bed her, that way you can kiss her from head to toe. Though you don't have your family jewel for now, but with your fingers, you can..." Fu Jin did not get to finish his words before being lashed by the whip.

He was stunned for a short while and then he recovered.

"You.." he pointed at Long Ren in anger but he was at a loss for words. He couldn't believe that Long Ren would dare command his whip to lash at him.

"You have done your part. I will naturally do mine. Recall old fart that I don't like perverted people like you. You're not fit to be a doctor." Long Ren spoke using voice transmission technique

"Really? Then your not fit to be a male. Yeah! I pray that you would be female forever and have children. If you do have time why don't you become my..." Fu Jin was whipped a second time and a third.

"Idiot!" Long Ren hissed and then took the pill from Fu Jin's right palm which he immediately swallowed. Then he walked towards Theresa and sat beside her on the bed.

"Mistress!" he called out to her gently but she did not respond for she was unconscious.

"Mistress, I want us to know each other better. Let's have a new beginning. We will let down our egos and start afresh. Mistress, can I sincerely ask for your forgiveness? I was wrong from the start. Mistress, pardon me but I have to kiss you but I won't take responsibility. Think of it as a woman kissing you."

With that, he lowered his head and kissed Theresa's right hand and then bit on it. Her bright red blood flowed out and he licked it. Then the wound automatically healed and left no traces not even a scar.

"You... how did you know you were supposed to bite her after the kiss?" Fu Jin asked in wonderment but all he got as a response was twenty lashes from the whip. The lashes were not heavy nor light but they sure left big wounds on Fu Jin's back and shoulders.

"A demon will always be a demon," Fu Jin muttered.

"Good you realized that. If not for my mistress, I might have killed you."he tossed an emblem to Fu Jin.

"Take that as your compensation."

"This... are you giving me the key to seeing that villain Grandpa of yours again?" the old man asked in awe.

"Get lost, I want to enjoy peaceful moments with my mistress," Long Ren said casually.

"You'll be sorry, little fox." Fu Jin said in his heart but he still gave a small bow and faced the whip. He then vanished.

When Long Ren was sure that he had left the house entirely, he got off the bed and crashed to the ground. He felt his whole body boiling and even wanted to vomit but couldn't. He began to grow larger shredding his clothes to pieces.

"Fu Jin, don't let me see you again or I'll kill you," Long Ren roared.

"You deserve what you got. You're reaping what you sowed." a voice transmitted a message to his ears.

"Damn it!" Long Ren cursed. He crouched on the floor completely naked. His sweat fell to the floor like water.

"That bastard dared give me aphrodisiac!" he spoke through gritted teeth.

He felt his bones reform and had to endure excruciating pain for 3 hours. All through this time, he did not make a sound. After his body and bones reformed, his whole being was covered with a red light.

At this same time, Theresa's body was covered with blue light. All the rays of blue light left her body and the red light enveloping Long Ren left his body and both lights collided forming a bracelet's shape.

Long Ren reached out his hand and grabbed it then the lights dimmed to reveal a cheap-looking jade bracelet with the crest of a fox embedded in the middle. Long Ren sighed and crawled towards Theresa and then wore it on her right hand.

"Mistress, our contract is finally solidified. I will be your pet for life I guess. Go through fire and ice with you. Mistress... please take care of this lowly one," Long Ren muttered before kowtowing lightly three times.

Then he managed to rise from the ground albeit in a slow manner. He saw that he had been fully transformed back to his real self. He let out a small chuckle as he caressed his beloved shaft.

How much he missed it. Just the thought of bending down to urinate was horrible. Now that he got his beloved shaft back, it meant that though unconscious, his mistress had forgiven him.

"Mistress, I promise to treat you well and never let any harm come near you." he vowed in his heart.

Just as he wanted to walk towards the chair he had been sleeping on 4 hours ago, he felt his body become hot again.

"Damn it! How could I forget such a vital thing?" Long Ren wanted to slice Fu Jin into a thousand pieces. His member had become hard and grew longer and bigger.

"Gosh! Why can't I disappear? I can't turn back either!" he was stuck in a dilemma.

"What kind of pill did I swallow? I thought foxes were the most cunning creatures, who knew I'd be defeated by a mere human?"

While Long Ren was thinking of what to do, Theresa opened her eyes and rose her upper body from the bed. She then stretched her body and yawned loudly without elegance.

Long Ren froze.

His mistress is awake? Damn it!

He still was unable to disappear and at a crucial time like this, he found out that he couldn't make use of his divine storage ring.
