Chapter 55: Chapter 55

Ju Wei gasped.

"You're awake? I..." Ju Wei stuttered. He didn't know why he talked about his past but he lost the courage to speak further.

"Ju Wei... tell me. What happened next? I want to know." Long Ren opened his eyes and got up despite the pain he felt in his heart.

"Ju Wei... tell me. I promise with my life not to tell anyone."he swore but Ju Wei shook his head and crawled to another side.

"Ju Wei..." Long Ren sighed. "It's fine if you don't wanna talk now. I won't force you you. You can... do that when you are ready."

"No, I'll talk!" Ju Wei sat up with difficulty.

"Ex-master, those men caught me and stripped me naked and then, they each had their way with me. Master, those evil men-16 of them f**ked me in my ass at such a young age. They fondled with my privates and said if it was a little bigger, it'd be better when it's cut off. Then, they proposed a second round to do me in my ass again and that's when I crushed the pearl necklace on my neck and I became like this- a spirit that can maintain human form for a time. Master, that's why I chose to punish the evil men I meet, by cutting off their manhood or doing them in the ass. It's my way of revenge. Master, now you know, do you think I'm dirty?"

"No, Ju Wei. You aren't. I do not know what it feels like to go through all that but I do know the pain of losing both parents in one day. I lost my parent to humans; that's why I was so merciless towards them. Ju Wei, we both had a bad past in childhood and we've made many mistakes. I think it'll be good if... we could make a change. We can be kind and have friends but still be ruthless to demonic humans. Is that ok?" Long Ren asked.

Ju Wei thought for a while and nodded.

"As for those responsible for hurting us, we'll find them someday and get back at them and their families." Long Ren struggled to stand and when he did, he slowly walked over to Ju Wei and sat down cross-legged and bit his left index finger. Bright red blood seeped out and he placed his bleeding finger on Ju Wei's head.

"You... what are you trying to do?" Ju Wei asked in alarm.

"With heaven and earth as witness, I, Long Ren, take Ju Wei back as my contracted spirit. Only his marriage will do us apart." Long Ren swore and put his finger into Ju Wei's mouth.

"Master? You..." Ju Wei couldn't continue his telepathy because he saw a quite a sight behind his master.

"What is it, Ju Wei?" Long Ren asked. He turned his head and gasped at what he saw.

It was a snake and a huge one at that. It was currently coiled and possessed 5 heads and they could only look at it with their heads raised.

"Master, that snake..."

"It's mistress new pet," Long Ren confirmed and removed his finger from Ju Wei's mouth.

"What? That thing?" Ju Wei muttered and hugged Long Ren.

"Save me!"

Long Ren pushed him away.

"Your no kid anymore," he got up and took a few steps towards the snake.

"So kiddo, you're my junior?" Long Ren asked with a chuckle.

The Taipan let out his long fangs a few times before changing back to his human form.

In the forbidden dessert,he used a kid's form but now, he was showing his true self. He was a man far more older than Long Ren but younger than Long Ren in appearance. He's taller and more handsome than the both of them. And to top it all, he was completely naked.

"Whoa! Look at those biceps, those muscles, those abs. So solid. And look at his thing! Wow! So big. I bet master would lose to this guy here. This is good. So good. I wonder which one of us will be at the bottom."Ju Wei began to drool and Long Ren shook his head.

"I admit that you are taller and more handsome. But you are still my junior. Take it or leave it." Long Ren stated.

"I don't accept!" the man muttered with folded arms. His member stood proud though not aroused, making Ju Wei shout: "Big bro, I love you."

The man scoffed and said: "A stupid contracted spirit you got there,"

"What games do you wanna play?" Long Ren also folded his arms indicating that he was ready to battle.

"How old are you? By the way, I'm Bai Lu Chen."

"I'm not telling you my age. Let's play a game then," Long Ren suggested.

"What game?" Bai Lu Chen asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, all is fair in war. Master, Bai Lu Chen, let's do a dick showing contest. The winner gets to be the senior." Ju Wei proposed.

"Shut up!" Long Ren was pissed. He only left him for a few hours and Ju Wei had become even worse. Why was he so obsessed with dicks?

"I accept!" Bai Lu Chen calmly responded, stunning Long Ren.

"You what?" he couldn't believe his ears. He wanted to propose a game of chess earlier but Ju Wei has now spoiled everything.

"I don't accept it!" Long Ren refused and stood his ground. Was that some sort of joke? His member isn't something that is casually seen.

"Master, you do want to be the senior pet, right? It's just a dick showing contest. It doesn't take anything away from you." Ju Wei said to Long Ren telepathically.

"I feel you really wanna see me naked. Not happening!" Long Ren telepathed back and dropped his hands.

"Well, I accept but Ju Wei turn around and close your eyes." Long Ren commanded a stunned Ju Wei.

"Mas..."

"I said turn around!" Long Ren barked.

"Yes, master," Ju Wei turned around sulking.

"Fine, let's start the chess game." Bai Lu Chen spoke before bringing out a table from his spatial ring while Long Ren took out a chessboard from his spatial ring. Now that all was set, they sat on the floor cross-legged after Bai Lu Chen had clothed himself with a green robe.

Ju Wei was also shocked.

"Weren't they gonna do a dick showing contest? What's with the chess game? I've never seen master play chess before not to mention... Mistress. I need to go see her," with that thought in mind, Ju Wei vanished from the room but the duo didn't give a damn about it but continued battling in the game of chess. Both were really good at it and there was no telling who would win.

When Ju Wei reappeared at the secluded room, he was shocked. He looked at the two geezers who were eating dumplings and chatting happily.

"Little spirit, you're finally back. Come join us. It's already morning."

"Yes. Come join us. Have breakfast and fill your empty belly boy."

"This... what is... where is Mistress Theresa?" Ju Wei asked.

He looked everywhere but didn't see the little Theresa. All he was was a shield that was so dark; you couldn't see a thing.

"She's inside. We don't know when she's gonna come out; so we decided to eat. How is Long Ren?" Fu Jin asked but Ju Wei shook his head.

Fu Jin gasped.

"He's dead! Evil pal, how could you be so brutal to your flesh and blood?"he exclaimed in shock.

"When did I say my master is dead?" Ju Wei was exasperated. He really wanted to beat the hell outta this old man but he knew he had no chance. Not with old man Long here. That was an obvious death wish!

"Then, has he gone blind from crying too much. From what I heard, he's part merman." Fu Jin feigned being confused.

"Doctor Fu Jin! Do you really wish my Master dead?"

"Wait, he's taken you back? That's great. Now I have more people to bully. This is great news. Come boy," Fu Jin beckoned Ju Wei to come over "Come celebrate with us,"

"My grandson's alive and kicking. But look at you; your foster daughter's life is uncertain," Long Hua Ming commented.

"She's a strong girl and won't die easily. Not with her mum here. And also, I'm better than you in many ways. For example, while people search and seek for my guidance and help they don't even dream about you."

"That's because their fathers couldn't either," Long Hua Ming said coldly and continued eating.

"Let's be serious old geezers! How is my great mistress doing? You do know her life is tied with my master's right?" Ju Wei reminded them because there were indeed two lives at stake here.

"Don't worry, my grandson's an everlasting cockroach. He won't die."

"Same as my foster child only that she isn't a disgusting cockroach like your grandson but a dragon," Fu Jin said.

"Oh wow! So my grandson is disgusting. From whose loins did he spring out from?"

"It's not directly yours. Besides, I didn't call him disgusting. I made a mistake. I should have called him unsightly,"

"YOU... FU JIN"

"Uh oh!" Ju Wei muttered under his breath and subconsciously distanced himself from them. There was looming danger and then... he turned to look at the shield but it broke and blinding light shone; successfully cutting off any chance of a fight between the old geezers.

"This... she's ready."

"Ready?" Ju Wei asked in puzzlement.

"She has successfully fused both contracts. She is a master of two strong pets." declared Long Hua Ming.

"What?" Ju Wei was amazed but then the smile was gone in less than a minute. If there are now two pets then it means that...

Ju Wei covered his mouth. If his master didn't win that chess game then both of them would be... no way!

The door suddenly opened and two men, Long Ren now dressed in red and Bai Lu Chen, Theresa's new pet came in.

"Master, who won?" Ju Wei asked telepathically.

"I won!" Long Ren replied in a low voice. Ju Wei scanned his master from head to toe and saw that all the injuries had disappeared.

"Your master indeed won but only because I got distracted for a second," Bai Lu Chen snorted.

"It doesn't matter. What's vital is that my master won.Bleh! Bleh! Bleh!" Ju Wei stuck out his tongue at an unbothered Bai Lu Chen.

'What's up?"

"Where's mistress?"

Long Ren and Bai Lu Chen asked at the same time.

"That light over there..." Ju Wei opened his mouth wide in shock and his eyes threatened to fall outta their sockets.

He wasn't the only one. Everyone stared at the figure and kept rubbing their eyes to make sure it wasn't a dream.

"Mi...mistress?" Long Ren called out.

The figure that is currently kneeling, opened her eyes and smiled.

Now that that light had faded from her one could see that she had become even more beautiful. This time, her hair was green with reddish brown at the tip. Her eyelashes were longer and her face smaller. Her lips were purple and her nose small with a golden nose ring in it. On her ears were a pair of black earrings. On her neck,a black necklace. She's wearing red robes, a black belt,golden scarf and golden shoes. And to top it all, she had more boob size than before.

Even Bai Lu Chen didn't expect this much change in his new mistress.

"Foster father Fu Jin..."she muttered as she stood up.

'My... my daughter," Fu Jin answered in a small voice. He then walked over to her and held her hands.

"Are you alright? Tell me where does it hurt, Theresa?"

"No, I'm fine. I feel no pain. I just feel stronger."

"That's right! Mistress, you are now in Beginner's realm level 5. So fast!" Ju Wei exclaimed.

"Yeah. Ju Wei,thanks for your help. If it weren't for you, I would have lost my innocence."

"Ah, it's nothing!"

"And you must be my new pet?"

"Yes, Mistress, I'm Bai Lu Chen." he knelt down and prostrated.

"Taipan King, Bai Lu Chen, pays his respects to mistress!"

"Rise!" she commanded with a warm smile. This made Long Ren to reminisce the first day he met Theresa and sighed in defeat.

Bai Lu Chen rose from the floor and patted the creases on his clothes.

"You are more handsome than that guy and also stronger. Well, I like your child version very much though." she heartily said.

Long Ren's face went black. His mistress referred to him as 'that guy'? Come on! you gotta be kidding him.

"Oh!" Bai Lu Chen changed back to his child version. "You mean this mistress?"

"Yeah! Aren't you cute? So cute! Come, let mama give you a kiss." said Theresa.

Bai Lu Chen was really cute in his child version and seeing that Theresa was really gonna peck his cheeks, Long Ren transformed into a 5 year old version of himself.

"What about me? Aren't I also cute?" Long Ren asked as he walked towards Theresa.

"Hmph! Attention seeker!" Bai Lu Chen scorned through telepathy.

"So what? I'm the eldest here; so I have a right." Long Ren telepathed back.

"Oh really? We'll see who's the loved one here. You? Or me? "Bai Lu Chen snorted.

"Err... Foster father?" Theresa called.

"Yes my dear!"

"Among these two, who do you think is better looking?" she asked Fu Jin.

"It's Bai Lu Chen, of course!" he replied without needing to think twice.

"You old fart! Just you wait," Long Ren was pissed but he still tried his best to smile. Fu Jin smiled back and replied telepathically: "I'll wait and then see how red your butt can be if I trash you with a whip."

"My grandson is naturally cuter. Look at him. He has such beautiful eyes and look at his lips. So red!"

"No, Theresa! It's Bai Lu Chen who's better looking. Look at his hair. Look at his hair that is so curly. Look at him, cutely chubby. He's got meat unlike that skeleton over there." Fu Jin preached.

"Hey! My grandson is better than this snake. What's the use of been a fat meatball? Your belly is big enough to fit 16 buckets of water. Look at his eyes that remind one of a gorilla."

"You..." Fu Jin's chest heaved up and down.

"Theresa, this boy was indirectly from my loins and I assure you that he's good quality."

"Good quality?" she asked with a furrowed eyebrow. Was old man Long referring to Long Ren as goods? That's a first!

"Yes." Long Hua Ming turned an unhappy Long Ren around. "See? He's good quality unlike that fish that is inferior."

"What did you say?" Bai Lu Chen asked in a feigned shocked tone.

"Did you just call me a fish?"

Then his eyes became teary and he sniffed.

"I'm a fish? Why?"

Then he looked at Theresa pitifully.

"Mistress... he called me a fish. Am I really that ugly? Look at me!"

"It's okay. You are the cutest meatball in the world and he..." she pointed to Long Ren " is the the cutest scarecrow. Happy now?"

Theresa petted Bai Lu Chen's head and he jumped about boasting about his victory over an unhappy Long Ren.

"Ha! See? We won. They say that crime doesn't pay. Your son has committed grave sins against my daughter; it's only right that you get punished."Fu Jin spat.

"YOU..." old man Long was at a loss for words.

"Grandpa, don't say anything. I truly deserve this. I was a scumbag earlier and it's normal for her to feel upset." Long Ren whispered to his grandpa before kneeling before Theresa with his palms pressed together.

"What is it?" she asked and before he could reply, she walked out holding Bai Lu Chen's hand.

Bai Lu Chen stuck out his tongue at Long Ren who could only sigh. They say that it's when you lose something that you know the value. Now that he thought about it, all this time he spent with mistress was bittersweet and she was able to open his eyes to many things but blinded by hatred and anger, he put himself in this situation.

Before, he considered his mistress annoying and wished she'd dissolve the contract but now having Bai Lu Chen as a rival, made him realize that he had been a fool. Because of this same foolishness, he'd rejected Lu Wei, his mate, just because she was a weak human.

Ye Feng, Theresa's foster mother, had taken her away and he would not be allowed to see her for 10 years.

That felt long. If possible, he really wanna see her now. But even if he did, would she accept him?

Old man Long sighed and told Long Ren to rise and patted his back.

"Kiddo, work hard and she might forgive you. She's very upset." said Long Hua Ming. But Long Ren shook his head and began to cry.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry but I really..."

"Miss your mate?" Long Hua Ming asked.

Long Ren gasped. "How did you know?"

"Easy! How old am I? 10?"

"Alright! Alright! You're the 10 thousand year old monster here. I'm just a baby" Long Ren transformed back to his adult version.

"Grandpa, I promise to win mistress' and my mate's heart back." he then cupped his hands and vanished. Old Long shook his head before vanishing too. It seems vanishing has now become a trend.

Meanwhile, in Theresa's room, Aarti opened her eyes again and it exactly at this moment that the door opened.

Theresa, Fu Jin and Bai Lu Chen, stepped inside the room slowly and saw that Aarti had just woken up and was trying to register her surrounding. Immediately, Theresa ran to her mother and knelt down with a thud.

"Mother, I greatly have sinned. It was all because of me. Mother, hit me! Hit me please!" she cried in German.

Aarti was at first stunned when she saw Theresa looking like this, but what mother wouldn't recognize her baby? She quickly hugged Theresa.

"No, mother won't hit you. Theresa, you are my precious baby. Why would you even think of that? My baby, don't cry. Mama is here!" Aarti petted Theresa's back as she fought hard to hold back her own rebelling tears.

"Mother, I'm so sorry," Theresa muttered, her tears wet her mum's shoulders.

Clark also woke up at this moment to see this scene.

"Theresa? My child!" Clark exclaimed in German.

"Daddy!" Theresa stopped embracing her mum and shifted towards her dad and then prostrated.

"Father, forgive me. I made a mistake. Hit me father! Hit..."

"Theresa, I am your father and you are my baby. Why will I hit you. I can't," Clark raised Theresa up and hugged her. Aarti also joined in the hug and kissed Theresa's cheeks.

The other men standing, (Bai Lu Chen, Long Ren, old man Long and Fu Jin) left. None of them could understand what Theresa and co, were saying but they knew this was their private moment. Instead of being the stupid audience, why don't they go do something else?

So they all headed to the living room and sat on chairs.

"So... what are we sitting here for?" Fu Jin asked and Long Ren felt like slapping him to death.

"We are sitting here and waiting for you to die," said Long Hua Ming.

"YOU... forget it. Let's not cause a commotion to my daughter's guests," Fu Jin calmed down immediately.

"They are her rightful parents. You were just someone that she picked up from the trash bin and labelled 'foster father' "said Long Ren.

"Why are the two of you intent on bullying me? I'm just an innocent man, righteous and struggling to live in peace. I've never offended anyone in my life." Fu Jin complained.

"Oh, then what do you have to say about that poor old woman's chicken that you stole last week?" old Long asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"That... that was... an accident. It was kind of a misunderstanding. There was a man trying to steal the chicken. Out of my goodwill and righteous heart, I decided to beat him up. I tried to return the chicken back to the owner but I realized that it was very big and fat and it surely had eggs. So I decided to borrow it for a while. I wanted only the eggs and the meat not the feathers. By accident the chicken died while I was trying to extract the blood, meat and eggs. I decided to return the liver, wings, head and feathers back to the woman's cage. I also put a copper coin to show my apology."

"Wow! You did well. But you could use some advice. You should put a goat's head in the cage and sprinkle blood on her doorstep and place a scorpion in her restroom." advised Bai Lu Chen.

Scoffing, Long Ren spoke: "No wonder you are old. You are indeed spicy."

"I am and I'm proud of it. I'm not a Taipan king for nothing. Unlike you who only has the title of demon lord,"

"You stupid snake, just you wait," Long Ren clenched his fists underneath his sleeves.

"I'll wait till you grow as handsome as me. Ugly fox!" Bai Lu Chen retorted.

"Hey, my master isn't ugly. You are the ugly snake here. You use evil tricks to win over our mistress," Ju Wei who had just appeared said.

"I'm officially her pet, so it's legal not a sin."

"You..." Ju Wei was cut short by old man Long.

"Let's stop fighting. I'll be leaving soon. I wanna make sure that all is well by the time I leave," said old man Long.

"Fine!" Long Ren and Ju Wei muttered.

Rubbing his palms together, Long Hua Ming initiated the discussion for the arrangements for Theresa and her parents. Sometimes, Long Ren and Bai Lu Chen almost killed each other especially when Ju Wei and Fu Jin fanned the flames as hard as they could.

But luckily, they had made the living room sound proof and old Long was able to tie them up with a magical rope so the meeting could go on peacefully. He then sighed.

"I hope that after I leave, this house won't be torn down." old Long thought.

Meanwhile, Theresa had stopped crying and was explaining important stuff to her parents who were paying rapt attention.

For some unknown reason, Marabelle was still asleep so they had put her on the bed.

"So you mean that your mom can now use magic to an extent?" Clark asked in shock.

"Yeah! But it'll take a while. I'm so glad that you both are here. Please never leave me, okay?" Theresa said pitifully and hugged them.

Both sighed and petted her back. After 30 more minutes, Marabelle woke up and they spent 10 more minutes discussing further before leaving the room with smiles. Their destination? The living room.
