A Tale of Chase and Love s1

Long Ren made Theresa do a ‘professional split’ which consisted of doing a middle split while trying to hold steadily two building blocks; one on each hand. These blocks were very heavy and Theresa wanted to drop them but then, Long Ren whistled and shook his head.

“You said that you are hardworking and can persevere. Why don’t you prove it to me? Carry those for… half an hour. You are no longer an ordinary girl but a beginner realm level 1 practitioner; so you must undergo this training without complaint. Ok?” Ren advised before he sat on his rocking chair.

As usual, there was a plate of strawberries by his side.

“Life is good” he muttered before putting on a sleeping mask.

Theresa glared at him and gritted her teeth.

This evil pet is taking advantage of the fact that she needs a master to guide her in cultivation. But then, what can she do? Damn it! These blocks are so heavy for her to carry. She feels her hands going numb.

When is half an hour going to end?

***********

An hour later.

Theresa surprisingly was able to last till an hour carrying those blocks. She couldn’t feel her hands anymore. The one who told her to do this, Long Ren had fallen asleep 30 minutes ago.

Just look at him. These days he’s becoming more and more like a pregnant woman. As she was about to call out to him, he woke up, threw away the sleeping mask and rubbed his eyes.

“It’s finally an hour? Ok, you can put those things down and rest.” said Long Ren in a hoarse voice.

Theresa immediately threw down the blocks and tried to bring her legs together but surprisingly, she found that her body wasn’t responding to her order.

“What’s going on?” she thought in alarm and looked at Long Ren questioningly.

“Oh, how silly of me mistress, when I said you should rest I didn’t say your whole body. I was talking about your numb hands. I did not say your splits would end in an hour. Mistress, you can close your eyes and rest your hands.” Ren explained.

Theresa did not buy his explanation at all and instead tried to move her body with her hands to no avail.

“Mistress, don’t waste your energy. I sealed your body to the floor only your hands and head can move. Goodluck with resisting.” said Long Ren before disappearing.

“LONG REN, RELEASE ME. I WANNA PEE SO BADLY!” she shouted, sweat dripping down her pretty face.

The heartless Long Ren, had gone outside the house to strengthen the seals around it. When he was done, he returned with his dragon bone whip in his right hand.

“Mistress, you see this whip? It’s something that every cultivator knows about. This is the legendary dragon bone whip capable of cutting one in half depending on my mood. Please don’t complain when I am teaching you. I suffered a lot more than you when my grandpa started teaching me at the age of 4. Mistress your not a kid anymore so please, behave like a mature person.” Ren warned.

Theresa continued to glare at him.

“Release me,” she said in a whisper: ” I gotta pee badly”

“You are not going to answer the call of nature. It’s normal for you to feel that way. Bear with it. We’re almost done with the splits session,” Ren encouraged.

“Arghh!” she groaned in frustration.

“Han Fei Fei, why did you summon me here in the first place? I want my Mummy, “Theresa cried.

“Mistress, please bear with it.” Ren encouraged again but Theresa did not wanna listen. She kept trying hard to free herself to no avail.

“Mistress, your break is very short. I advise you to use the remaining time wisely.” Ren advised but all he got from Theresa was a scary glare. He then shrugged and let her be.

30 minutes later.

Theresa’s scream resounded throughout the whole room.

Outside the secluded room, no one could hear her screams since Long Ren had made the room super soundproof. For the past 25 minutes, Long Ren had made Theresa do all kinds of painful body twisting. Now Theresa wished that she had been a contortionist back on Earth.

Just when she felt she was going to break from the current position which was a combination of a handstand, a split done upside down with two blocks tied to each leg, Long Ren told her to relax and so she crashed to the floor miserably and started crying.

Her whole self was a mess but Long Ren still did not care. All he cared about was his relaxation and eating strawberries while reading a book. Theresa lay on the ground sprawled and her heart was beating very fast. She kept gasping for breath.

Seeing this, Long Ren shook his head and continued to read his book about a young boy eating raw animals’ meat and using it for demonic practices..

“Mistress, you have another short break of 10 minutes. If you wanna pee as you mentioned earlier, you can go do so now. Don’t bother drinking water or dare to relax on the way. But you can also decide to stay here and keep me company.” Ren advised, his eyes still glued to the book.

Theresa gritted her teeth and fought the urge to curse his 20th ancestors.

“You’re not moving? Your time’s running short,” Ren urged.

“You… you clearly see that I can’t walk. How then…” she couldn’t finish her sentence since Long Ren had sealed her voice.

“Too noisy. A scholar needs peace and quiet,” said Ren in a low tone of voice.

Theresa kept glaring daggers at him but he did not care. She won’t be able to hurt him yet.

“Scholar my ass! If you were a scholar then I’m your boss!” Theresa resorted to using telepathy.

Long Ren just scoffed and continued reading the book.

9 minutes later.

“Mistress, your time’s up. Let’s continue the training,” Ren announced as he lazily got up from his rocking chair, yawning like there was no tomorrow. The book had been tossed to a corner of the secluded room, looking so old and rough.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Theresa glared at Ren before hissing.

“Mistress, let me help you,” Ren offered to help her get up after undoing the spell he cast on her.

“Don’t touch me. I have hands and legs,” she barked. Heavens know how much she wanted to eat fox stew right now.

Long Ren shook his head and put the chair back in his storage space. Theresa forced herself to rise up from the floor. Her whole body is still in pain though much of it has subsided 8 minutes ago.

Her body has become much stronger and she recovers much faster from pain and injuries acquired during the training and that’s why Long Ren is using it to his advantage.

According to the book, after splits, comes the first dance.

Since Theresa cannot read or understand chinese characters, Long Ren is clearly adding his own part to the book.

He keeps saying that every painful body twisting he made her do, is in the book which is a big, fat lie! The day will come when Long Ren will suffer for this very sin.
