A Tale of Chase and Love s1

“I’m very sure that this pretty girl here isn’t your first victim. There must be hundreds if not thousands. Why don’t I give them justice that they deserve?” Lan asked the man with a smile. The fire at his crotch had gone out but no one needed to look down to tell that he was completely useless down there.

The man gritted his teeth, not wanting to scream. His eyes widened when the dagger elongated to a sword’s length. It was then he finally realized that these girls were. t ordinary. This girl just shot fireballs at him without stress and not she wants to hack him to pieces?

“Old fart, stay where you are. If you move, I’ll really hack you to pieces.” Lan warned.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Li Hua shook her head again.

“Recall Boss’ words Lan? Do not misbehave. The girl is safe, he’s lost his precious part. He won’t be able to do any harm.” Li Hua said.

“You’re right. I’ll just cut off his right arm. I’m being merciful here.” said Lan.

“Lan, if you get in trouble, I won’t save you,” said Li Hua.

“Li Hua, you baffle me. Aren’t you a cultivator? What happened to the bravery?” said Lan.

“It seems you forgot where we come from. That girl we wrongly accused is from this place and her father sent us here. We’re still under training and you’ve already started to misbehave?” Li Hua scolded.

“Really, then why did you follow me to this room?” Lan asked.

“I had to because I knew this girl was in danger.” Li Hua replied. “Forget it. Just do whatever you wanna do to him. Girl, let’s go.”

Li Hua took the girl out of the room.

“You old bastard, if I don’t hack you to pieces, then I’m not Lan,” Lan said angrily.

“But… you promised”

“That was before. Not now. Take this!” Lan cut off the man’s arms and one of his legs.

“Always recall that girls are not a means to satisfy your carnal needs. They are people who should be loved and respected.” she spat on him before leaving.

The man gave a loud cry finally attracting the guards to the room. The culprit had escaped.

*********

“Li Hua, I’m sorry. I just…” Lan tried to apologise but Li Hua cut her short.

“Do whatever you wanna do. I won’t stop you,”she said.

The girl they saved had been taken to her worried parents secretly and then they left the party.

“Li Hua, I don’t understand. What went wrong?” Lan asked in confusion.

“You should just focus on your training.” Li Hua said before walking away.

Suddenly, a strong hand put a gag around Lan’s mouth and she passed out immediately.

The same thing also happened to Li Hua. She also passed out immediately and both of them were dragged into a jeep by the men and with a ‘zoom’, it sped away.

Not far off from them, a man who had been following them secretly picked up his phone.

“Boss, the two girls were taken away. Should we rescue them?” he asked.

“No need, I know that when they wake up the men will be sorry. I’m hanging up!” said the caller who’s obviously Theresa’s father.

“Yes boss,” the man said and put his phone back into his pocket.

Inside Marabelle’s room back on earth which wasn’t too large but consisting of furry dolls, a bed wardrobe and many other things I don’t wanna mention, a portal appeared and threw Marabelle out.

She’s no longer wearing her Hanfu but a short pink gown and slippers. The pink gown had pockets and so the cut off hair, ring, and chest was inside them.

She sighed and surveyed her room. It really felt good to be back home. Her poor parents must be very worried but she’s got a mission to fulfill. She ran out of the room to the living room and saw that no one was there.

She sighed again and checked a bag hung on the wall by the dining section and found money that would be enough to take her to Clark’s home tonight. With the money in hand, she scaled the window and then the little fence before getting to the road and stopping a taxi.

********

Williams residence.

Clark William was about to go out to the streets for a walk when a taxi stopped right in front of him.

“Are you crazy? What do you think this place is?” a guard yelled.

Marabelle got out of the taxi and paid the fare. She then ran over to Clark but was stopped by the guards.

“Sir, I have something to tell you,” she said with urgency in her voice.

“Come tomorrow. I’m busy,” Clark said.

“Sir, Theresa…”

“Enough! Get out!” the guard yelled.

“Sir, she’s alive!” Marabelle yelled.

“You dreamt about her?” Clark asked.

“No, it’s not a dream. She’s alive. She sent me here. It’s about aunt. She has something to give you. It’s important sir,” she explained.

“I know she’s alive but I can’t get to her,” said Clark.

“I did. Here!” Marabelle took out the ring of the heir of the Williams family.

“Sir, she gave me this ring,” she said.

Clark’s eyes widened in surprise on seeing the ring.

“Follow me,” Clark said and the guards parted ways for Marabelle.

She sighed and placed the ring back into her pockets and ran after Clark.

Lan opened her eyes and saw that she was in a dark room that only one small lamp hung on the wall. Her hands were tied behind her back and her mouth sealed by tape.

Her legs were also tied. She also saw that she was sitting on a mat.

Looking to her left, she saw Li Hua in the same position as her and she was unconscious.

Lan merely shot a tiny fireball from her left ring finger unto the rope and it cut in two. She did the same to her the ropes on her legs and they fell off then she removed the tape used to cover her lips slowly and threw it to the floor.

She then did the same thing to the still unconscious Li Hua and then carried her on her back.

“It’s time to escape!” she muttered.

She then started to walk towards the door with the help of the little light reflected from the lamp. Well, if the lamp never existed in the first place, she’s still got her inner fire that could brighten the place and drive away the darkness to a certain degree.

Lan on getting to the door found that it was locked. She scoffed and shot a fireball with her left hand at the door and it fell down in crumbs.

“Silly mortals!” she muttered before leaving the room.
