A Tale of Chase and Love s1

Sitting on two couches, the two women stared at each other while their maids wisely retreated.

Jin Ehuang hated this lady before her who used to be her friend in black peach. But then, when their sect faced extermination, this lady joined the enemy sect Arrow. This lady used to be their top disciple, but she then betrayed her sect for another to save her own life. Though the enemy sect did not exterminate them all, they lost the sect leader and 7 elders.

When the new sect leader helped Black peach rise back to the first-rate sect, Jin Ehuang got serious about cultivation secluding herself for 2 years at the same time with her former friend and it so happened that her friend did not break through to the next level because of a backlash caused by a demon rat that had 6 horns.

During cultivation, such rats love to disturb the cultivator and when he suffers a backlash, this rat will draw on the person’s spirit energy and reduce his levels.

If one was in the foundation builder stage, this evil rat would send him back to beginners realm level 2 and if one is in the beginner realm, he would be crippled (i. e. lose all his magic powers) or even lose his life.

This rat, however, doesn’t act on his own except on its’ master’s orders.

This lady named Ye lan suffered a backlash when she was about advancing to the golden core stage and was reduced to a mere beginner’s realm practitioner.

She was depressed especially when she was deserted by the Arrow sect and thought that it was Jin Ehuang who made her like this.

So she always tried to kill her but failed. In the end, she left Luo ye country to somewhere unknown and now she has returned.

Jin Ehuang cannot see Ye Lan’s cultivation level and neither did Ye Lan see Jin Ehuang’s cultivation level either. This can only happen once they release their auras. The staring battle ended bringing the aura battle.

Ye lan was the first to release her powerful aura that showed that she had reached the Master stage which was quite a shock for Jin Ehuang but then she also smiled and released her aura- Disciple chain bottleneck.

“It seems that you will only remain below me no matter what you do,” said a smiling Ye lan.

“Oh! It also seems that you underestimate this servant” said Jin Ehuang.

Both used their auras to fight, and it surprised Ye lan that even though Jin Ehuang had not reached the Master stage she was on par with her. This was not good news.

She had worked hard all these years even married a rich man and used a forbidden cultivation technique killing her husband and she could finally rise to the Master stage last week and so she came to show off.

How then was Jin Ehuang able to match her in aura?

She tried harder, but it seemed Jin Ehuang was stronger than her and in the end, Ye lan vomited blood. Seeing this Jin Ehuang got up and spat at Ye Lan.

“Sorry. I thought you said ‘spit on me for a silver coin’. So here Ye Lan.” she took out a silver coin and threw it at Ye lan.

“Accept my hospitality, peasant” Jin Ehuang said softly before leaving with her maids.

Ye lan managed to rise refusing her maid’s help.

“Jin Ehuang, I will remember this,” she said slowly and then left the mansion also refusing the help of her maids.

The moment her carriage left, another carriage arrived at the gate of the Han residence.

This carriage looked cheap but on the inside, it was half paradise.

A man stepped out of the carriage a frown on his face carrying a disfigured Han ling who was covered in a blanket. When the guards saw him, they were astonished but quickly hid it. As for Han ling, whatever she is facing now, she deserves it.

However, they still opened the gate and the man directly flew in.

*************

Jin Ehuang was in her backyard garden (this is another garden) enjoying music played by 4 maids.

She closed her eyes and slowly shook her head to the music with a smile.

“I finally defeat that bitch,” she thought proudly.

Just then, a guard ran up to her and went on one knee breathing heavily.

“What happened Hua Ye?” Jin Ehuang asked her eyes still closed though the music had stopped.

“Replying to madam, The young miss is in deep danger,” said the guard.

Immediately, Jin Ehuang opened her eyes.

“What did you say?” she asked loudly.

“Madam, the young miss is in danger,” replied the guard.

“Where?” Jin Ehuang asked as she immediately got up from her couch, her body showing signs of anxiousness for her child.

“Young miss is at the pavilion. Ma…” the guard could not finish his words as she had already sped away.

Jin Ehuang could run really fast- 200 miles in an hour so reaching the pavilion was nothing for her.

What was crucial was saving her daughter!

The guard sighed and got up nodding at the 4 maids who slightly bowed and left.

Jin Ehuang reached the Pavillion in two seconds and stopped to catch her breath.

Looking behind her, she saw a middle-aged man carrying her daughter Han Ling.

“Ling’er my child,” she immediately took her from his hands and placed her on the table.

“What did you do to her?”

“Me? I did nothing. But here,” the man threw a long bill to her.

“Your daughter ruined my restaurant. You don’t need to doubt me. Just go ask.” said the man.

“And also, I need my money in two days,” the man then flew away.

Jin Ehuang was unhappy but then, anger cannot solve everything.

“Guards” she called.

Immediately, two guards rushed over.

“Get me doctor Fu,”

‘Yes, Madam” they responded in unison and watched as Jin Ehuang sped off with Han Ling before daring to leave.

*****

The culprits behind Han Ling’s situation were out shopping for books. In a bookstore, Theresa was running about buying so many books.

“I want this one, Gimme that one, and that one, and that one, no, not that, yes that one,” Theresa’s loud voice was heard in the bookstore which made people hiss.

Ren who had now transformed into a pretty maid had long informed them that his mistress was crazy about the book and mentally ill. The store owner, though not happy remained quiet especially when Ren released a bit of his aura at him.

The scholar’s daughter who was formerly with Han Ling was in Ren’s storage ring unconscious.

The middle-aged servant from the now ruined restaurant had been given 2 pearls by Theresa and so he had left happily. He would leave the imperial city and head for another city to live with his family after treating his ailing wife.

Han Ling’s lackey’s name was Lu Wei, 15 years old and still in beginner realm level 5. Reaching level 6 would be very hard for her so she hung around her friend Han Ling so she could get resources and go to the spirit hall where magic was bountiful to cultivate.

Now she left Han Ling to her fate when she needed help. Long Ren’s spatial ring contained much magic and of course, it didn’t take long before Lu Wei started cultivating subconsciously.

**********

When Theresa finished picking all the books she was interested in, both cheap and expensive, she winked at Ren who was not happy but dared not show it.

“Fine! Since Mistress wants me to pay, I’ll do so. I’ll let her pay me back by accepting a ‘better’ disguise. I’ll see what she can do then.” Ren thought before dropping 8 gold coins on the counter before leaving with his mistress after putting all the books into his storage ring.

The shop owner even escorted them for a while to the next street before taking his leave. He even told them to come by when they had time. Theresa then nodded at him and instructed Ren to buy her a house while she searches for a brothel.

“Mistress you’ll need another disguise,” said Ren.

“Mistress thoughts are sure disorganized after receiving Han Fei Fei’s memories so I’ll take advantage of it while I can. Wait till you see the disguise I’ll give you mistress,” he thought, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
