Chapter 8 8

Imperial Cold Palace.

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

Long Ren was confused.

How come she's like this? This mistress of his should not be offended so even if he doesn't want to, he has to show concern for her. With this in mind, he walked towards the angry mistress and knelt down in front of her.

"Mistress, Long Ren has returned." he said with a low yet firm voice.

However, his voice was like a thorn in Theresa's flesh; something to remind her, that she can't use her cheat until ten years. Why bother to appear in the first place? Was it to force her to cultivate (i.e practice magic)? She just wants to live a simple life filled with luxury but she only gets to drink a glass of red wine before her happiness disappeared. And then, Drizelle gave her a task.

Apart from taking revenge on Han Fei Fei's enemies she still has to cultivate just to get a cheat. Then was that really a cheat? A gift? She began to mock herself for being so stupid. She was very stupid to think that everything would last.

Author dialogue

Author: "You can't blame me, Theresa. You need to suffer but for a little while. You have bathed in dollars for too long so please bathe in suffering and pearls for now."

Theresa: "I wanna go home. I quit. I don't like this character anymore."

Author: "Then that's good. I also hope you recall our agreement. Stopping halfway means compensating the other party with 1 billion dollars. So I'm glad you're gonna quit halfway."

Theresa: *surprised* "When did we sign such an agreement?"

Author: "I made you thumb print while asleep last week. Don't worry it's beautiful."

Theresa:*spit her juice out* "Author, you are evil!"

Theresa begins to cry though it's fake to get sympathy.

Author: "Long Ren, please take your mistress away"

Ren: "Yes author. Mistress..."

Theresa grunts while being taken away.

Back to story

"Mistress...I brought them back. Mistress...I don't know what you're upset about but know that this isn't the end." he 'reassured'.

"Long Ren, do you know how much I miss my mummy and daddy?" she asked as she raised her head to look at him.

'Where is this conversation heading?" Ren thought. How is it his concern if she misses her parents? He was away from his parents at age 9 and she's 17 for god's sake. Can't his mistress be a little more mature?

"Long Ren, I can sense you're mocking me. Your period starts now. Please go into seclusion today" Theresa angrily ordered. This annoying pet should just leave her alone!

What's the use of his cute face and tempting red lips if he can't comfort her, his mistress?

Long Ren wanted to beg but out of pride, he decided against it. He expected this anyway. He just sighed and brought out the two girls who were inside his storage ring and threw them to the floor roughly.

He looked at his mistress one more time, slight anger and frustration evident in his watery eyes, then he turned to leave, disappearing before reaching the door.

Theresa looked at the two familiar yet unfamiliar girls lying on the floor and shivering in their sleep. She then looked at the door.

"Long Ren, I need to tame you properly. I do not hate you. I'm just going through hard times" she muttered as she brought herself to stand.

She might not be as lucky as other FL's are but she's can succeed. She will tame Long Ren, get these two maids' support, and go see the outside world tomorrow.

She walked to the bed and carefully lay on it. She's so tired now. She needs to process her thoughts and be the sweet girl she once was.

Yes, she has no modern luxury but what about ancient luxury? She'll go for them and there's no need to worry for Long Ren, her free money bank is there.

With that, she slowly fell asleep.

Poor Long Ren would not have an easy life from now on. He might have to cry every day for her to get free pearls.
