Chapter 48
Hearing his threatening message a second time both surprisingly refused to move. Instead, both sat down in meditative pose and went into meditation. This house was rich in qi. You could find it anywhere in the home. This is one of the reasons why Long Ren bought this house.
Long Ren saw that the two were unwilling to move and began to mutter some words back in the secluded room. It did not take long for both of them to get up from the floor and run towards each of their rooms. Afterward, they crashed into their beds and fell fast asleep.
“Now that’s more like it, ” Ren thought before closing his eyes.
Our poor Theresa is all alone with no seeming hope of leaving the restroom.
3 tiring hours later.
Theresa weakly opened the restroom’s door and stepped out slowly. She rested her upper body on the wall and sighed.
“This should be the final one. Long Ren, when I recover, you’ll be sorry.” she muttered in a low voice.
No one was waiting for her like before. No one kept her company. She felt all alone in that restroom. Now she’s finally out and able to breathe some fresh air. She slowly walked back to her room and sat on her soft, comfy bed. She touched her pillow and surveyed the room.
“I should rest for a little while,” she thought before bringing herself to lie down.
However, no matter what, she couldn’t fall asleep.
50 minutes later.
Theresa got down from the bed and went to the extreme of the room to get a stick. She had noticed it not too long ago and decided that she would hit Ren to death. She seemed to have had chicken blood infused into her legs as she ran towards the secluded room.
On reaching there, she found it closed but not locked. Theresa kicked open the door and stormed inside only to see Long Ren practicing some weird dance steps.
When Long Ren saw her, he stopped dancing and smoothened his rough clothes.
His hair seemed to be 3 inches longer than before and had a tint of green at the tip.
“Miss, how may I help you?” Ren asked in a formal tone, that evil smile still residing on his now redder lips.
“You. I want to kill you…” shouted Theresa though she did not move from her very spot.
“Wow! Another customer has come. Lan Ying, please hurry up and bring tea for the customer.” Ren called out to no one in particular. Then he scratched his head.
“Oh, I forgot! I fired all my workers last night. But it doesn’t matter. Let’s make do with what I have currently.” Ren said while bringing out a chair made from spikes.
It is clear that whoever sits on it, would not be able to sit nor walk for 7 to 8 days. This spike chair even has coals on the seat. Seeing this, Theresa’s ears brought out smoke.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Now that’s right. You can come sit now miss.” Ren offered, pointing to the evil-looking chair.
Theresa held the stick higher and rushed towards him, but 5 feet away from where Long Ren stood, she suddenly stopped and threw the stick down. She bent her upper body and put her right hand over her mouth, the other on her stomach.
Seeing this, Ren smiled and brought out a big wooden bucket from his storage ring. He brought it close to her and she immediately retched into the bucket. Ren simply whistled and placed the spikey chair into the storage ring.
What Theresa vomited was a black sticky liquid substance that had foul stench which spread to all corners of the room. Ren made the door to close and then said farewell to Theresa who was feeling dizzy while still retching before he disappeared leaving Theresa all alone.
6 minutes later.
Theresa opened the door of the secluded room and rushed out in a crazy and hasty manner. Her clothes and hair were disheveled.
“Where’s the pool? I’m dying!” she screamed as she ran along the corridor also trying to gasp for breath.
Lu Wei and Ye Feng were still fast asleep in their rooms due to the spell cast on them by Ren and it was unknown, what time they’d wake up.
Theresa finally found her way into the pool room. This pool room had a very large pool of very cold water. It was able to relax someone’s nerves and make him see life as wonderful.
This was the first time that Theresa had come to this pool room earnestly seeking for its help. When Long Ren had vanished from the secluded room earlier, Theresa stopped retching and her body temperature began to rise rapidly.
She also felt numb making her unable to move. When the numbness had subsided, Theresa had to rush out of the room in haste albeit in a crazy manner.
Now that she was in the cold pool room, Theresa wasted no time. She took off her black boots and her lace coat leaving only her black gown.
“Icy, here I come,” thought Theresa as she plunged into the pool splashing water everywhere.
She resurfaced after a minute gasping for breath.
For a moment, she did feel the water’s chilliness but then it didn’t last long. She felt the cold vanish and her body temperature began to rise rapidly. It was even worse than the temperature she had back in the secluded room.
This made her think of a dream she had not too long ago. The same hot temperature was what she was currently feeling now and it was getting higher. Should she shout for help? Where the heck was Long Ren, the cause of all this?
She was woken from her thoughts when she felt the water become so hot. It did not take a minute for it to start boiling very hard. Theresa was scared that she tried shouting but to her dismay, she found that her voice was sealed.
“Damn Long Ren.” she cursed in her heart.
She wanted to leave the pool as quickly as she could, however, she found that her body had become heavy. Yet, somehow, she wasn’t sinking.
“What’s going on?” she thought confused and scared.
To worsen things, fire appeared above the surface of the water. Only the spot where she was, had no fire. Seeing this, she was even more confused and scared. The only one who could help her was Long Ren.
Currently, her mouth cannot produce any understandable sounds so how will she… wait! According to the novels shew read, contracted master and pet are able to summon each other in danger.
It is possible since she’s able to punish him on her first day here. That’s right! It’s possible to make him come here. But how? Just how would she summon him here?
While she was still thinking, a figure appeared inside the pool room holding a plate of strawberries and dressed in female clothing.
“Wow! She’s created another legend. I fully accept you with a ‘complete heart’ now, mistress.” the figure who is actually long Ren, thought, bowing his head slightly.
“Mistress, let’s get started.” he muttered silently as he walked closer to to the pool. He put down his plate of strawberries and took out a bottle from his storage ring.
