Chapter 100
Metal nation.
As the name indicates, the gifted residents here have great affinity with metals. There is a metal fire different from Luo Ye cultivators’ fire. This fire is used for making weapons out of iron. The sects here all specialized in armaments. Armament masters are priceless in war. An armament master can pressure his opponent whether a fire, wind, nature or water/ice cultivator because he has tons of hidden weapons some which can be poisonous. They have the best iron in this nation and it is prosperous too.
In a luxurious inn on the second floor and 26th room lay Doctor Fu Jin on the bed with red hair. He was chewing a stick made from an unknown tree and thinking about who knows what. Suddenly, his spatial ring flashed and he immediately sat up.
“The ring flashed? Does it mean, my foster daughter is in danger? I did leave her in Long Ren’s care right? Why…” he thought but he didn’t waste time and vanished from the room.
He reappeared at the forbidden forest at the cliff where Aarti had once fallen from.
“The smell here… it was a different weak person that was snatched into that dessert? Then what about my child?” Fu Jin thought.
His space ring flashed again and he nodded. He took out a small round shaped metal and threw it down. Immediately, a vortex appeared. At this moment, Ju Wei also appeared.
“Doctor Fu Jin? What’s he doing here?” he thought as he ran to the old man
“My ring flashed!” Fu Jin explained.
“Yes, the great mistress is in trouble. I don’t know where she is but… her bestfriend is also in the forbidden dessert too,” Ju Wei explained.
“Whatever the reason, I’m going in ” Fu Jin said determinedly.
“I’ll come with you,”Ju Wei offered.
“No, it’s too dangerous. You’ll be devoured by spirit eating beasts and don’t forget you must find my child. Where is Long Ren?” Fu Jin asked.
“He… had something to do. Don’t worry, you go first. I’ll manage,” said Ju Wei.
“Okay then!”
Fu Jin jumped into the vortex and Ju Wei against Fu Jin’s warning jumped in too. He had a feeling… maybe he could find his mistress in there. Even if it wasn’t true, he had to try at least.
The vortex then closed.
*********
At the forbidden dessert,
The little kid named Bai Lu Chen, knelt and placed his hand on Theresa’s forehead.
“Little one, be warm.” he whispered and a faint pink light left his hand and entered into Theresa’s shivering body. In less than ten seconds, she stopped shivering though still unconscious.
The vortex opened, throwing out Fu Jin and Ju Wei not far from Bai Lu Chen and Theresa.
“Great mistress, she’s here!” Ju Wei quickly rose and rushed to her.
“My child,” Fu Jin called out and rose up too.
He rushed toward Theresa but couldn’t beat Ju Wei.
“She’s alive. Still alive.” Ju Wei said with teary eyes.
“Tell me, Ju Wei, what happened and why is my daughter here? Don’t hide anything from me.” Fu Jin thundered.
“Err..”
Having nothing to say, Ju Wei disappeared, he happened to reappear at where Marabelle lay- unconscious and very feeble.
“She’s really here too?” he exclaimed.
He knelt down and picked up a small rat. This rat named Lali is the second rat who had been chasing Marabelle and Aarti towards the cliff. The rat’s mouth was stained with blood and Ju Wei stared at Marabelle and then back at the rat.
“Spirit, please get me outta here quickly, if not, I’ll die,” the feble rat said using voice transmission.
“As expected, you are an intelligent rat.” he thought and placed the rat into his pocket.
He carried Marabelle bridal style and disappeared. He reappeared at where Fu Jin was feeding Theresa an unknown liquid.
Despite him not knowing the contents of that drink, Ju Wei trusted Fu Jin; after all he considered Theresa to be his daughter and if possible, future apprentice.
“She’s out of danger now but her dantian is in danger of getting damaged. Did she break the contract with Long Ren?” Fu Jin asked.
“I don’t know. Ex-master Long Ren… he was really angry when I tried to talk to him about her. I don’t know what happened between them but I’m sure it was very bad.” Ju Wei explained.
“And who is this girl that is dressed indecently?” Fu Jin asked with raised eyebrows.
“Em… she isn’t a prostitute.” Ju Wei quickly defended.
‘I didn’t say she was. Who is she? Your mate?” Fu Jin asked.
“No, she isn’t. She’s great mistress’ bestfriend from her world.” Ju Wei explained.”
“I get it. Let’s get outta here and I think that she’s quite lucky to form a contract with a demon hybrid rat.” Fu Jin commented and smiled knowingly.
“Don’t you dare think of eating it,” Ju Wei warned. He knew this doctor loved eating spiritual rats.
“Who said I would? Why would I hurt my daughter’s friend? Let’s get outta here,”
The portal appeared again and the four of them were sucked into it.
The moment the portal closed, a lot of animals appeared that looked strange and unpleasant to the eyes.
“Damn it! We’re late. How did we not sense the smell of four morsels?” the biggest and ugliest one complained.
Earth,
Delhi, India.
Mr. Yuvraj Sharma, Theresa’s grandfather, has turned the world upside down; searching for his son-in-law and Marabelle. He didn’t want to believe that Clark and Marabelle were sucked into a porthole. He couldn’t take such a thing. It must have been a trick; though he wondered what and how powerful this trick was. But nonetheless, he gotta find his son-in-law.
Currently, he’s sitting on a sofa and having a video chat with the president of Germany.
“Sir, I’ve had my men check everywhere over here, leaving no stone unturned but they’re nowhere to be seen.” said the president who is dressed in a green suit, in a polite tone. He has blue eyes and had dyed his hair to dark brown.
“You call yourself a president and yet you can’t find my son. Trash!” Mr. Sharma spat and ended the video call even before the president of Germany could respond.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
He rubbed his neck and sighed. Where would he find them? They seem to have disappeared from the whole earth. It couldn’t be that the porthole thing mentioned by Paul was correct, right?
Meanwhile, Lan and Li Hua after dealing with the last of the four men, returned back to their work of being cleaners and spies for Clark.
“It’s a bit strange that he hasn’t called us yet. Something’s wrong Lan,” Li Hua said worriedly.
“I think so too.” replied Lan as she sipped on a fruit juice in a plastic bottle.
“HEY YOU!”
Li Hua and Lan turned their heads around to see their boss (this boss is the head of workers like cleaners and cooks but it’s not an elevated position. He still has to bow even to the employees who work in the company), Mr. Wen dressed in a yellow suit that hardly covers his potbelly and white shoes.
To make things worse, he had a pink bow tie and leather wristwatch on. Lan nearly laughed but Li Hua had to pinch her to stop her.
“Sir, we’re tired so we decided to rest for a few seconds. Please don’t get angry.” Li Hua pleaded.
“If you do this again, I’ll get you two fired,” Mr. Wen warned and left.
“I really feel like ripping that old donkey’s potbelly with my sword and see what’s inside,” Lan said to Li Hua using voice transmission technique but she only patted Lan’s shoulders and walked in the direction of their boss with a knowing smile.
“Li Hua, what are you planning to do to him?” Lan asked using voice transmission.
“Something that will make him cry for his mama,” replied Li Hua by voice transmission.
